One month ago, HOT published a Field Coordinator position for the EUROSHA project. </span><br><span style="font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap"></span><br><span style="font-family:Arial;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre-wrap">As a reminder, EUROSHA is a European Union pilot project that wants to build up a European Open-Source Humanitarian Aid corps of volunteers to address humanitarian issues and specifically ensure inclusive humanitarian information-sharing in crisis preparedness. 26 volunteers from Europe and Africa will be deployed 6 months in 4 African countries (Chad,  Central African Republic, Burundi and Kenya) for 6 months, starting mid October. During these missions, HOT will support the volunteers in accomplishing the training, mapping and outreach activities planned for each country during the months of preparation, involving the EUROSHA local partner organization as well as local and international humanitarian organizations, local government institutions, and local tech or social communities.</span><br>
