Logistics coordinator (F/M)
Description du poste
For more than 40 years, Médecins du Monde (MdM), a campaigning medical organisation committed to international solidarity, has been caring for the most vulnerable populations here and abroad. It has continued to bear witness to obstacles that exist in accessing healthcare and has secured sustainable improvements in health-for-all policies.
Those working for this independent organisation do not solely dispense care and treatment but condemn violations of human dignity and rights and fight to improve matters for populations living in precarious situations.
MdM France currently works in 30 countries across all continents to facilitate access to healthcare through 6 political battles:
- Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights
- Migration, Exile, Human Rights and Health
- Harm Reduction
- Environment and Health
- Humanitarian Space
- Healthcare systems and rights
MdM in Sudan
The conflict in Sudan has caused one of the world’s most serious displacement crises, with approximately 14 million people having fled since April 2023. Of these, 7.3 million are internally displaced and more than 4.2 million have sought refuge abroad, mainly in Egypt, South Sudan, and Chad.
The capture of El-Fasher by the RSF in October 2025 led to a new wave of mass displacement, exacerbating camp overcrowding and food insecurity.
Historic:
- MdM presence in Jebel Marra until 2011. Registration resubmitted and validated in March 2021
- Feasibility study on Sudan conducted in 2022 (security, donor analysis, stakeholder mapping, SSP/MHPSS/GBV intervention options)
Mid-December 2025, MdM decided to launch an exploratory mission in West Darfur and allocated core funds to provide medicines, recruit an explo team composed of a general coordinator, medical coordinator and a logistics coordinator, and start activities in Darfur.
