1. Programmatic management of the ECHO HIP Project 2025

ECHO HIP Project 2025 (March 2025 – February 2027): A project that aims at providing Health response in Gaza and strengthening Emergency Preparedness in the West Bank to address urgent needs of conflict affected population in the occupied Palestinian Territories. This project is led by PRCS in a consortium with the GRC and the Norwegian Red Cross (NorCross). The delegate will oversee the monitoring, reporting and evaluation of the intervention supporting PRCS in ensuring the project implementation in coordination with the NorCross Health Delegate and the GRC DM delegate.

2. Centralizing and enhancing GRC internal processes in lasting emergency situation

Improving or adapting internal administrative processes
In coordination with GRC HoO, GRC MENA Office and GRC HQ, identify and suggest adaptations of administrative processes (Procurement and Finance) to facilitate the implementation of projects and short term fundings in a context of a lasting emergency. This will encompass an audit of the GRC internal processes to suggest adaptation within procedure, maintaining an acceptable level of risk management, by discussing with the GRC HQ, GRC MENA office and PRCS. This will also encompass the creation of internal follow-up tools to better track activities, procurements, financial status and enhance the capacity of anticipating absorption of high fundings. This may as well involve discussion with other Partner National Societies (PNS) to assess or align Movement procedures.

Support the delegation grant management
The Emergency Support Delegate will be in charge of coordinating and monitoring donor and internal reporting deadlines, ensuring timely anticipation and alignment with the delegation team, PRCS and GRC Headquarters.
It will encompass the direct administration and consolidation of GRC own costs as well as the follow up on internal reallocation together with GRC HQ (PRCS financials will be directly managed by the GRC Thematic delegates and GRC administrative and finance).
