Psychological First Aid (PFA) Training Consultant

 

Oxfam in Lebanon respond at local, national, and international levels to “ensure that women and men are protected and empowered to enjoy their basic rights and access services enabling them to live in dignity, within a more equitable society.” To achieve this vision, Oxfam in Lebanon implements activities under two main programmatic pillars: A Humanitarian Pillar, a Governance and Economic Justice Pillar. The purpose of the Humanitarian Pillar is to ensure that marginalized women and men, including refugees from Syria and Lebanese, are able to have safe access to water, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH), attain their rights to life, security, protection and assistance, and that they are enabled to support their own basic needs, develop their livelihoods, all in a manner that respects and maintains their dignity.

 

Oxfam implements program activities through a community-based approach and in partnership with specialized local organizations providing essential and life-saving services. Oxfam and Utopia have been supporting the establishment of community structures (Community Focal Points (CFPs), women’s groups and youth groups) from the refugee and host communities, and actively engaging them in capacity building initiatives and protection threat mitigation activities in Tripoli since 2013. Currently and through a project funded by Agence Française de Développement (AFD), Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), and French The Crisis and Support Centre (CDCS), Oxfam and Utopia continue to strengthen community-based referral mechanisms, increase the awareness of the CFPs and the broader community on critical topics and available services, promote the agency of communities and support them to take decisions over their lives, and ensure positive and sustainable change at the community level.
