Particularly committed to the fight against diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death in the world, SI's interventions provide expertise in the field of access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion, but also in the essential area of food security and livelihoods. Present in 26 countries, the SI teams – 3200 people in total, made up of expatriates, national staff, permanent staff at HQ, and a few volunteers - intervene with professionalism and commitment while respecting cultural norms.THE MISSIONSolidarités International operates across the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, with operational teams in Deir el-Balah and Ramallah and mission coordination in Jerusalem (although some national coordination staff work out of Ramallah).

SI delivers emergency and early-recovery WASH assistance, shelter and essential-item distributions, and is scaling up nutrition-sensitive FSL activities, including a EUR 1.3 million FIFSAN project with a Palestinian partner. The portfolio relies on close cooperation with local organizations and must continually adapt to volatile access, damaged infrastructure, fragile markets and supply constraints. The Palestinian context is a particularly volatile one, especially in recent months in the West Bank, and in Gaza there are for the moments no signs of a resolution to the political and humanitarian crisis engulfing the exclave and its 2 million residents.THE JOBGeneral objective:The MEAL Manager ensures that the MEAL strategy is implemented by base teams throughout the project cycle.
