Project Overview&nbsp;The Ethiopia Conflict Sensitivity Hub (ECSH) is a platform designed to support humanitarian, peacebuilding, and development (HDP) actors in Ethiopia in adopting conflict-sensitive approaches and contributing to peacebuilding outcomes. By improving awareness of existing conflict dynamics and conflict risks while enhancing HDP contributions to peacebuilding outcomes through better policies and operations, the Hub aims to play a critical role in supporting sustainable peace and development in the country. Building on best practices from other conflict sensitivity hubs globally while adapting to the Ethiopian context, the ECSH will focus on three foundational pillars: generating high-quality research and analysis to inform programming, building capacity among stakeholders to integrate conflict sensitivity into organizational practices, and convening diverse actors to enhance collaboration and coherence. The CSH is an impartial entity that will be hosted by Mercy Corps with support from a consortium of partners, including Rift Valley Institute. Its work will be guided by a collaborative governance structure and multi-donor funding to ensure inclusivity and alignment with Ethiopia's peacebuilding needs.Joining this team is an exciting opportunity to be part of the setup of an innovative initiative that will address conflict risks and strengthen peacebuilding efforts across Ethiopia.&nbsp;The recruitment is for the Ethiopia Conflict Sensitivity Hub, an autonomous initiative dedicated to promoting conflict-sensitive practices among humanitarian, development, and peacebuilding actors.
