Pakistan is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and natural and man-made hazards, including flooding, droughts, heat waves, earthquakes, and pollution, which disproportionately affect the most vulnerable in society and exacerbate existing developmental challenges.

IOM is leading the multi-year Climate Resilience and Humanitarian Response (Central and Southern Pakistan) component of FCDO’s Building Resilience and Addressing Vulnerability to Emergencies (BRAVE) in Pakistan Programme, with FAO, UNICEF, ACTED, CARE, and Islamic Relief as consortium partners.

The consortium will deliver integrated community resilience-building activities and institutional and systems strengthening across southern Pakistan (Sindh, Balochistan, and Punjab) and will respond to humanitarian needs across all of Pakistan. The consortium will be overseen by a Secretariat, led by IOM.

Under the overall supervision of the Senior Programme Coordinator for HRRD and direct supervision of the CRHR Consortium Coordinator in IOM Pakistan, the Climate Resilience Field Coordinator will be responsible for deliverables outlined in the following sections in support of the Humanitarian, Resilience and Recovery Department (HRRD):
