**About MSF**

Doctors without Borders (MSF) is an international, independent, medical humanitarian organisation committed to two objectives: providing medical assistance to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion, natural and man-made disasters; and speaking out about the plight of the populations assisted. MSF offers assistance to people based only on need and irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. Today, MSF is present in more than 70 countries, where thousands of MSF doctors, nurses, logisticians, water-and-sanitation experts, and other medical and non-medical professionals work together to bring essential health services to people caught in humanitarian crises.

**Background**

The Advocacy Unit of the Johannesburg section of MSF (known as the OSU) is connected closely to MSF operations in Southern Africa and supports field operations by undertaking advocacy, analysis and network building in key areas of expertise. A major new priority for the Advocacy Unit is to build capacity in understanding the role of climate change and climate-related events in Southern Africa and the direct impact of these on health outcomes and the environment in the region.

**Main purpose of this role**

This role will be responsible for building up institutional understanding of the impact of the climate crisis on health outcomes and MSF operations in Southern Africa (and beyond). It will gather, collate, synthesise and analyse data and information to create a comprehensive climate crisis mapping of the Southern Africa region. This would include examination of climate related stresses and shocks in the region, as well as identifying vulnerabilities and dependencies in line with these, and assessing risks and resilience. It will use this to develop a concrete position, planning, preparation and adaptation for MSF operations and advocacy in this thematic.

**Reports to: Head of Operational Support Unit**

- Building information, expertise and capacity for the OSU in the thematic of the climate crisis.
- Drawing clear linkages for understanding, operations and advocacy between the climate crisis and climate events and health outcomes.

- Liaising with relevant stakeholders inside and outside MSF on climate crisis impacts.
- Leading on the building and development of a climate strategy and way forward for OSU and MSF Southern Africa in determining positioning on the intersection between climate change and health impacts.
- Working closely with field operations to integrate preparation, planning and response to climate-related events into project strategies.
- Work closely with field operations to use available data and models to assess underlying vulnerabilities in health systems.
- Working closely with OSU team and other relevant stakeholders to determine advocacy strategy with regards to the climate crisis and health outcomes.
- Work closely with relevant water and sanitation referents to assess MSF’s own environmental impact and reduce this where possible.
- Building active networks with civil society, governments and other organisations working on climate-related issues.
- Building networks and collaborating across the MSF movement with other sections, operational centres and offices who are undertaking climate-related research and work.
- Liaising closely with various stakeholders within MSF, including the MSF Climate Smart project, the Climate, Environment and Health (CEH) working group, and the MSF Humanitarian Action on Climate and Environment (HACE) unit, particularly in capacity building and project implementation, on environmentally sustainable solutions for MSF.
- Undertaking representation role when necessary at relevant forums.
- Organising training and information sessions to share findings and capacity-build MSF and external stakeholders.
- Working closely with Head of OSU and OSU Community Engagement Coordinator to ensure strategy coherence and interlinked work wherever possible.
- Playing an active role as a member of the OSU team and MSF Southern Africa Johannesburg Section office.
