Program / Department Summary
The Humanitarian Access Team (HAT) supports Mercy Corps programs throughout Libya in four key areas: programs, strategy, advocacy, and security. The HAT analytical unit monitors social media, communicates with partners, validates data through primary sources, and interfaces with relevant international organizations in order to gather and collate relevant conflict, access, and stakeholder information. The HAT focuses on conflict, both individual incidents and trends, both present and forecasted, and then links this with its respective impact on the local population. The HAT therefore looks not only at violence, but also at those underlying factors that trigger conflict and displacement such as governance and service provision, war economy dynamics, past displacement patterns, local, regional and international politics, social identity and intercommunal relationships, and Libyan modern history. The HAT also serves as a real-time information hub; vets potential partners; assesses programmatic, partner, and operational risk; identifies and maps stakeholders; and maintains a mapped database displaying program locations, the locations of commodities and their values, and disaggregates this data by donor and risk threshold.
The HAT Communications Officer will provide regular, ongoing, high-level and timely editing for all HAT products, including the monthly, situation, area assessments and thematic products. Oversee product design, and work with the HAT analytical team and technical team to best visually and editorially convey the content of HAT product.
