OPERATIONAL CONTEXT / CONTEXTO OPERACIONAL
UNHCR in Ecuador aims at the delivery of protection, assistance and solutions to a variety of persons of concern to UNHCR such as asylum-seekers, refugees, and stateless persons, in partnership and close collaboration with national authorities as well as non-governmental organizations and local communities. Related activities often need to be implemented within short timeframes and at times with relatively little resources in a demanding operational environment. The operation is coordinated at the national level by the national branch office in Quito. In addition, UNHCR has field offices in Quito (Solanda), Esmeraldas, Guayaquil, Huaquillas, Ibarra, Tulcán, Lago Agrio and Cuenca.
Ecuador is a destination and transit country for persons in need of international protection. Over the past two decades Ecuador has been hosting more than 68,000 recognized refugees (mainly Colombians) and has become a main destination and transit country for Venezuelan refugees and migrants. Ecuador receives the second largest number of Venezuelans after Colombia. Over 2.2 million have arrived in Ecuador since 2016.
Since 2019, Venezuelans have been arriving in Ecuador at an average of 1,950 people per day, almost all through the border crossings with Colombia. While 80% of Venezuelans arriving in Ecuador are in transit to third countries, official estimates are that more than 385,000 are residing in Ecuador.
The enclosed Vacancy Announcement, for a temporary position of Driver - G2, was issued in order to hire a Driver for Manta, to assist and help the staff in carrying out duties on a timely and effective manner, increasing UNHCR’s scope of action and visibility.
