International project coordinator H/F

In line with Secours Catholique's mission and pedagogy, and its national and international guidelines, Secours Catholique-Caritas France supports the actions of a network of partners (Caritas, Church institutions and civil society organizations) in the Middle East and North Africa (MONA) zone.

The MENA desk is developing a cooperation project with five associative partners from four countries in the Middle East: Lebanon - House of Peace, Egypt - Etijah & Stars, Jordan - Caritas Jordanie and Palestine - Palestinian Amputees Football Association and the FSGT, a popular sports federation in France: Empowerment of vulnerable populations through access to emancipatory sports practices. This project is co-financed by AFD.

The overall aim of the project is to contribute to the democratization of emancipatory physical and sporting activities for all. Four specific objectives should contribute to this aim:

• Contribute to the empowerment of activity participants;
• Training sports leaders for all;
• Develop access to quality sporting activities for people who are farthest from practicing: women, refugees and people with disabilities;
• Create a network for exchanging practices at local, national and international level.

The MONA desk and its partners are looking for an International Project coordinator for the MONA zone to coordinate a multi-actor program in the Mediterranean.

Main missions : 

• To plan and implement actions in line with the overall regional action plan and the strategy developed by the project partners, with the partnership managers and the educational and capitalization manager.
• To monitor, analyze and evaluate the implementation of the actions at regional and local levels, with each partner, in conjunction with the partnership officers and the educational and capitalization officer.
• To contribute to the communication, in particular by maintaining and updating the project website.
• To ensure accountability and compliance with AFD procedures
• To manage the administrative and financial follow-up (annual budget forecast, follow-up of its realization, etc.) with the SC-CF financial referent.
• To coordinate project monitoring and evaluation.
• To coordinate the organization of all the training sessions (in sport for all with FSGT’s volunteers, Change oriented approached, MEAL) and follow-up missions with the partners and the partnership officers.
• To organize meetings between the various project stakeholders: monitoring meetings, technical and governance committees.
• Organize the caravans of popular sport in different cities, in France, with SCCF’s delegations, FSGT’s committees and the partners.
• To coordinate the organization and running of seminars bringing together project stakeholders.
• To promote the exchange of practices between project participants
