In response to the earthquake in January, CARE Haiti is implementing integrated initial emergency response activities. Components of the integrated response include non-food item (NFI) distribution, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), reproductive health, shelter, psychosocial support and livelihood support. The Program Manager will lead and manage the integration of Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) across all these sectors. While it has been over six months since the earthquake, activities are still focused upon emergency response. Current activities are focused on implementing the Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP) for RH in the areas where CARE is working. Activities will continue to focus on ensuring the MISP (access to delivery by a skilled birth attendant and emergency obstetric care, prevention of HIV/AIDS, prevention and response to GBV, and provision of basic family planning services) is fully implemented and then transition into a broader and more comprehensive SRH program that includes activities such as community mobilization, access to broad range of family planning methods, and a multi-sectoral response to gender-based violence (GBV). The program will continue to be implemented in close partnership with the Ministry of Health, the UN cluster system, and other partners in order to contribute to the long-term development goals of Haiti and coordination is critical to avoid duplication of services. The Coordinator will lead and manage implementation of the SRH activities with a focus on the MISP and support the transition into long-term development activities. The Program Manager will work under the supervision of the Health Sector Coordinator, will work closely with the Emergency Team, particularly with the Team Leader, will also coordinate with the Gender/GBV Coordinator.
