The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) is an impartial, neutral and independent organisation with the exclusively humanitarian mission to protect the lives and dignity of victims of war and internal violence and to provide them with assistance. It also endeavours to prevent suffering by promoting and strengthening International Humanitarian Law and universal humanitarian principles. The ICRC’s Regional Delegation in Nairobi co-ordinates the institution’s humanitarian activities in Kenya, Tanzania and Djibouti.
Overall Responsibility
The Trends, Reputation, Analysis and Knowledge (TRAK) team is strongly connected to security, emergency and global risks situations, providing quality and timely analysis of open-source information to support and facilitate decision-making for crisis response and risk anticipation & mitigation. TRAK is growing and is looking for information analysts based in regional hubs who will be part of TRAK’s global network.
The Regional Information analyst based in Nairobi closely collaborates with the regional management team and the regional resource network to provide concrete information analyses, reports and insights on issues, events and trends reported on in open sources and which might have an impact on ICRC operations, acceptance and security in the region. They use their regional expertise, knowledge of contexts and languages to assess the quality of information gathered, and to make sense of the information and data captured while bridging it with internal knowledge.
By looking for facts, assessing and validating the credibility of information and sources, the information analyst provides an objective complementary reading of conflict and violent environments and therefore contributes to reinforcing the ICRC identity of a neutral and independent humanitarian (NIHA) actor in the region.
