I. Background on ACTED
ACTED is an independent international, private, non-partisan and non-profit organization that operates according to principles of strict neutrality, political and religious impartiality, and nondiscrimination. ACTED was created in 1993 to support populations affected by the conflict in Afghanistan. Based in Paris, France, ACTED now operates in 32 countries worldwide, with over 200 international and 4000 national staff. ACTED has a 100 million € budget for over 350 projects spanning 8 sectors of intervention; including emergency relief, food security, health promotion, economic development, education & training, microfinance, local governance & institutional support, and cultural promotion. For more information, please visit our website at www.acted.org II. Country profile ACTED commenced activities in Myanmar following Nargis through supporting affected communities in their long-term livelihood recovery by providing technical training to farmers and fishermen, distributing livestock and poultry, providing vocational training, introducing aquaculture systems, asset replacement, rehabilitating community infrastructure and ensuring affected families have access to a safe habitat. In 2011, government-led liberalizing reforms in key sectors (labour, finance, media and administration) spurred new opportunities for Myanmar. In this evolving context, ACTED continues its support to cyclone-affected communities in the Delta while also broadening its focus to additional geographic and thematic needs. In Labutta, special focus was placed on supporting the most vulnerable households facing persistent challenges in food security.
ACTED expanded the scope of its activities to the Dry Zone, one of the poorest regions of the country, addressing chronic food insecurity and restoring sustainable livelihoods through agricultural production and home gardening. In 2012, ACTED diversified and scaled up its assistance in Myanmar. The mission focused on issues of food security, economic development of vulnerable communities and response to any emergency related situation, both natural (community-based disaster preparedness) and man-made (humanitarian crisis in Kachin State). It also supported civil society actors to enhance their capacity to influence key policy areas, particularly those related to women and gender considerations. To this end, ACTED has already started a country wide programme aiming at strengthening the economic rights of women. Additionally, teams have started an intervention to support communities and local authorities in the Southern Yangon region and Rakhine State to be prepared to natural disasters. Furthermore, ACTED undertook an assessment mission to identify the support it can provide to conflict affected communities and IDPs in Kachin State. In 2013, ACTED continues to support civil society in order to promote the economic rights of women. Teams have continued to help communities prepare for natural disasters in the Yangon Division and in Rakhine State. Furthermore, teams have provided emergency support to displaced persons living in Kachin State as a result of conflict. Moving on in 2013, and looking to 2014, ACTED is looking to expand into other areas; both thematically, and geographically. ACTED is currently looking for qualified person to fill the position of Senior Finance Officer in the country office is in charge of ACTED's accountancy for Myanmar and of the financial follow-up of projects that ACTED is implementing in the country.
