In Maban County, this assistance has focused on the life-saving assistance to refugees from Blue Nile State, Sudan.

In Unity state, ACTED has focused on the provision of livelihoods assistance to refugees in Nyeel and Pariang refugee camps.

ACTED also continues to build on its traditional areas of intervention, focusing on food security and livelihoods in Western Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap, and water, sanitation and hygiene in both states as well.

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.

We are looking for a highly qualified, self-motivated GBV researcher able to conduct an analysis of the root causes of and factors contributing to sexual assaults among refugee communities in Doro, Yusuf Batil, Kaya and Gendrassa camps in Maban County, Upper Nile State, South Sudan. The consultancy is for a period of four weeks, between 15 February, 2015 and 14 March, 2015.

Who are we?
The Danish Refugee Council fulfils its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict-affected populations – refugees, internally displaced people (IDPs) and host communities in conflict areas of the world.

The Danish Refugee Council has been in South Sudan since 2004, mainly working with refugees and internally displaced persons and, in 2012, DRC opened its operations in Upper Nile State (Maban County) to respond to the large influx of refugees coming from Blue Nile State in Sudan. DRC is the camp manager of Doro and Yusuf Batil camp where over 85,000 refugees are currently living and also carries out protection activities in four camps in Maban, a total population of approximately 130,000 refugees.
In 2012, assessments on general SGBV concerns for girls and women in Jammam, Doro and Batil Camps were conducted. These studies revealed that instances of sexual and gender-based violence (hereafter referred to as SGBV) take place in the refugee camps, especially in the home, when travelling outside the refugee communities, collecting firewood or water or when using latrines. SGBV incidents are generally remedied through customary mechanisms which are not necessarily in the best interests of the survivors.

About the job
The GBV researcher is responsible to conduct a study in order to identify sexual assault against refugee communities in Doro, Yusuf Batil, Kaya and Gendrassa camps in Maban County, South Sudan. The researcher will be hired for a period of 30 days which include travel, field research with refugee communities, key informants, relevant stakeholders and presentation of key findings to the protection/SGBV cluster. This period does not include the period of drafting the final report, which needs to be submitted latest one month after field research is completed. The study must be conducted in the field between 15 February, 2015 and 14 March, 2015.

The GBV researcher is expected to:

• Carry out an independent and objective in-depth detailed assessment to identify the root causes of and factors contributing to sexual assault among refugee communities in Maban County. The assessment should, additionally, be able to provide information on the challenges faced by survivors of sexual assault and practical recommendations to help prevent and respond to this kind of violence
• Conduct field research in less than 30 days and submit the final draft of the report latest one month after field research is completed
• Present key findings and recommendations to the inter-agency refugee protection working group in Maban before the end of the consultancy period
• The final report, in English language, should preferably be around 25-30 pages, excluding appendices. The report format and text should be presented in Microsoft word using New Roman 10, or Arial 11.
  While in the field, the GBV researcher reports to the SGBV Officer and the Protection Manager.

About you
To be successful in this role, you must have:

• A minimum of a Master’s Degree in Gender Studies or related field
• A minimum of five years of experience working on gender-related issues
• Proven experience in qualitative and quantitative research
• Excellent presentation skills
• Knowledge of Arabic language is an asset
• Excellent written and oral English.

We offer
A contract of 30 days, starting on 15 February 2015 and ending on 15 March 2015.
Salary and conditions will be in accordance with Danish Refugee Council’s Terms of Employment for Expatriates; please refer to www.drc.dk/Vacancies. This position will be placed at salary level A10.
