GENERAL POSITION SUMMARY:

PROGRAM/DEPARTMENT SUMMARY:

As Mercy Corps seeks to alleviate suffering, poverty and oppression around the world, the events currently sweeping across South Sudan are rare moments of opportunity. Mercy Corps is interested in strengthening its presence for early as well as longer term programming for South Sudan, including those who have been displaced.

Mercy Corps has been operational in South Sudan since 2005 and is currently engaged in series of development and resiliency programming in the north of the country. Yet since the outbreak of fighting on December 15, 2013, Mercy Corps is launching emergency programming throughout its current areas of operation including: Warrup State (Twic County), Unity State (Bentiu, Koch and Leer) and the Abyei Administrative Area. Unity State in particular is caught in the crossfire of the violence and, as such, there is a significant and growing level of humanitarian need.

Mercy Corps strategy in South Sudan is to ensure that Communities affected by war and natural disasters access lifesaving assistance coupled with pre-emptive livelihoods assistance and protective resilience building support.

Are you a proven leader of complex humanitarian programming in conflict affected contexts? Do you have experience in at least two of the following sectors; protection of displaced populations, emergency response, mine action, food security & livelihoods, and armed violence reduction.Then apply for this exciting opportunity to join a progressive organization in a top leadership role and to help shape the future of humanitarian programming in South Sudan and globally.

Background
The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) is an independent, non-governmental organization that is founded on the basis of humanitarian principles and a rights-based approach to secure the protection of refugees and internally displaced persons, and to promote long-term solutions to the problems of forced displacement. DRC and its specialist human security unit, the Danish Demining Group (DDG), have worked in South Sudan since 2005; initially concentrating on providing safe and supportive conditions for refugees returning from neighboring countries after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed.
Until 2010, DRC and DDG worked independently, but in recent years there has been a process of convergence and collaboration, partly intended to produce cost efficiencies but more importantly to harness the strengths of both DRC and DDG towards integrated programs which address the rights to security, protection, basic needs and development through a single agency approach. Since July 2012, DRC and DDG have a joint operation in South Sudan, implementing humanitarian assistance, recovery and rehabilitation programs in the sectors of emergencies, mine action, food security & livelihoods, community driven development and armed violence reduction.
In 2012, DRC DDG expanded it programming through the response in Upper Nile and Unity states to the influx of refugees into South Sudan. DRC DDG has then scaled up its activities further during the present crisis in South Sudan by taking a leading role in three UNMISS Protection Of Civilian (POC) sites in the same states.
Country Context
The Republic of South Sudan was born on 9 July 2011, becoming the world’s 193rd country and marking the conclusion of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) period that ended Sudan’s protracted civil war. South Sudan seceded with major issues unresolved, including border demarcation, wealth-sharing, and the fate of the disputed territory of Abyei. In 2012 and 2013, conflict in Sudan’s South Kordofan and Blue Nile States has forced almost 200,000 refugees to flee into South Sudan. Inside South Sudan, the government took important steps to accelerate the process of state-building. However, the effects of decades of civil war continued to impede the pace of development, and government capacity to deliver basic services remains limited.
In December 2013, South Sudan was thrown back into civil war when political disagreements turned into violence. Nine months into the crisis, some 1.4 million persons are displaced by violence inside South Sudan. The states of Upper Nile and Unity, where DRC has most activities, are among the worst affected. Around 100,000 persons are currently sheltering in Protection of Civilian (POC) sites within the compounds of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS).

Background

WaSH in schools (Water, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion in Schools) is a component of child-friendly school interventions that supports efforts of ensuring children go to schools that provide a sustainable safe, healthy and comfortable environment where children grow, learn and thrive. The WASH in schools programme aims to provide access to safe and child-friendly water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities along with hygiene education in order to improve health, enhance girls’ attendance, boost education achievement, and promotes gender equity as well it provides inclusiveness.

The Ministry of Education Science and Technology has developed the General Education Strategic Plan, 2012 to 2017 which is a reference document for stakeholders in the Education Sector with the aim of improving and increasing access to quality and equitable general education. According to EMIS (2013) only 40% of schools in South Sudan have access to water supply, while only 43% of the schools have toilets. Overall, most schools in South Sudan lack basic WASH facilities, including inadequate hygiene education programmes.

While the current WASH in schools interventions by the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and various stakeholders have helped to address some gaps through various projects, the main challenge has been the sustainability of these WASH facilities, especially with regard to operation and maintenance. It is also worth noting that organizations engaged in WASH in schools interventions in South Sudan introduce different types of sanitation and water facilities and some of the facilities do not meet basic standards such as availability of hand washing facilities, separate toilets for girls and boys, access for children with disabilities, suitability of the facilities for the end user needs, etc.

The Consultant will be working closely with GPEP UNICEF Team, WASH UNICEF Team, MoEST staff, MEDIWR staff and partners involved in WASH in schools programmes and other relevant stakeholders in South Sudan. It is expected that the WASH in Schools standards/guidelines will be comprehensive and this is to concur with MEDIWR WASH Strategic as well as Rural WASH Investment and Action Plan 2012 - 2015.

Justification

The development of the WASH in schools guidelines will contribute towards the goals of the General Education Strategic Plan, 2012 to 2017 as well as the MWRI RSS (MEDIWR) WASH Strategic Framework. UNICEF, in collaboration with the Ministry of Education Science and Technology, and the Ministry of Electricity Dams Water Resource and, Irrigation, as well as the Education sector Technical Working Group and the WASH in Schools actors, have agreed to develop a set of standards based on the local context as guidelines for the WASH in schools programme which will be used by all stakeholders in the sector. Specifically these proposed standards will contribute to the following strategic objectives:

· Increased access to general education and promoting equity in schools

· Improved primary school attendance, health and cognitive development

· Increased girls ‘attendance and participation in education as a result of improved personal menstrual hygiene practices and facilities in the school

· Inculcate positive hygiene behaviors that may last a life time

· Outreach to families and communities, through the participation of students in hygiene promotion

· Overall improved quality of learning environments in South Sudan.

· Improved operation and maintenance of School WASH facilities resulting to their sustainability.

· .

The proposed WASH in schools guidelines will enhance the enabling environment for improving the WASH in schools situation in South Sudan.

The proposed structure for the WASH in schools guidelines should be in the following sections:

Section1: Background, objectives, strategies and structure

Section 2: Child-friendly School principles, standards and criteria

Section 3: Hygiene promotion approaches, especially menstrual hygiene practices.

Section 4: Human resource development at school level (teachers’ training, etc.)

Section 5: Operation and maintenance of WASH facilities

Section 6: Monitoring of WASH in schools

Section 7: Technical guidelines

7.1: Norms for water and sanitation

7.2: Options for school latrines drawings, designs, and bill of quantities

7.3: Options for Water supply in schools, including drawings, designs and bill of quantities.

7.4: Options for Operation and Maintenance of WASH facilities.

7.5: Options for formation of Sanitation and Hygiene Clubs

Furthermore, these guidelines will consolidate and streamline the various existing WASH in Schools practices in South Sudan. The WASH in Schools standards are expected to systematically guide the various stakeholders in the delivery of Wash in Schools in South Sudan.
