Indignant at the injustice experienced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusiveness, where all differences enrich us and where everyone can “live standing”.

Handicap International changes its name and becomes “Humanity & Inclusion”. HI, Humanité & Inclusion is an independent and impartial international solidarity organization that intervenes in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, it acts and testifies, to meet their basic needs, to improve their living conditions and to promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Present in more than 55 countries, HI is composed of 2 operational departments:

• The Directorate of Humanitarian Action (DAH)
• The Development Action Directorate (DAD)

  BACKGROUND

  Program Algeria: budget of about 1.5 Million Euros, 4 projects in progress, a team of 19 people (4 expatriates including this post) including 3 people in the administrative department.

  HI’s actions in Algeria began in 1998 to support professionals in charge of victims of terrorism and their families. Following the Boumerdès earthquake in 2003, the program has developed two large-scale projects that have also served to forge its identity and establish its recognition by the public authorities. Today, the organization’s actions are aimed at the structural improvement of living conditions, the integration and the full social participation of people with disabilities. Given the socio-economic context, the mission works mainly on the basis of local partnerships. For this, the team collaborates with about thirty associations and public institutions.

  Projects in progress in August 2018:

• Socioeconomic integration of excluded youth.
• Pilot actions for rural development and agriculture.
• Support for Sustainable Local Development and Social Actions (2018-2020). This project aims to promote new Inclusive and Sustainable Development initiatives in 3 rural and semi-rural wilayas.
• In Saharawi camps: Improvement of functional rehabilitation services. The aim of the project is to strengthen the detection, diagnosis, referencing and management of disability in children, adults and the elderly.

Following a significant turn-over in 2017, the team was partly renewed at the level of the project managers and supports and needs to be accompanied. It requires significant organizational support from the supervisory staff and the maintenance of a clear, rigorous and supportive managerial framework. Individual and collective motivation is an issue.
