JOB CONTEXT:
HI Palestine is currently operating as a stand-alone program under the authority of the Emergency Division, with a dedicated governance framework adapted to the scale and complexity of the crisis.

The mission's operational strategy relies on 4 pillars: Health (Rehabilitation and P&O), Armed Violence Reduction, Atlas Logistics, and Education. Cross-cutting components include IHA, MHPSS, Protection Mainstreaming, and DGA.

The total budget for 2025 is expected to range between 8 and 12 million EUR.
