II. Organizational context

South Sudan population is amongst the youngest in the world with estimation of 72% being under 30 years and is expected to grow as result of high fertility rate 6.7. South Sudan has the worst Maternal Mortality rate 2,054/100,000;Teenage pregnancy rate is 300/100,000; 16% of girl children are married before they are 15 years of age, and another 37% are married before the age of 18.

The UNFPA South Sudan office has been supporting youth programming in South Sudan with collaboration of the national ministry of culture youth and sports and Ministry of Health. The intervention used includes Youth Peer Education and provision of youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health services and HIV prevention among others.

In the current humanitarian emergencies in South Sudan, family and social structures are disrupted; adolescents are separated from their families or communities, while formal and informal educational programmes are discontinued, and community and social networks have broken down. The loss of livelihood, security and the protection provided by family and community places adolescent at risk of poverty, violence and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) and their consequences.

South Sudan is one of the most challenging and exciting working environments that Save the Children currently works in. The newest country in the world, its legacy of thirty years of war has yet to be even partly addressed as its new government struggles to both mature and reach out to its people. Education rates remain extremely low with less than 10% of the population finishing primary school; and only 200 girls completing secondary school in 2011 (out of a total population of greater than 8 Million people). Infrastructure across the country remains virtually none-existent; with 80% of the country – including State capitals – only accessible for half of the year (the rainy season) by small aircraft. Even in the capital – Juba – there are no functioning public utilities, few tarmac roads and limited health services. Aid agencies rely on generators, water trucking and satellite internet to meet their basic needs. The agencies still provide some 75% of the basic services of the South Sudanese population. Parts of the country are still racked by insecurity – tribal militias, rebel militia groups and direct conflict with the North of Sudan all take their regular toll on the civilian population.

Save the Children has been active in South Sudan for over 20 years. In 2010 the three active field agencies – Save the Children Sweden, US and UK came together under a unified presence with Save the Children UK as the managing member. We reach and help the meet the rights of hundreds of thousands of children every year.

This is a challenging role in a complex environment. It requires a dedicated, experienced and highly motivated individual who can manage the difficulties of living and working in such an environment and still be fundamental in helping to drive forward our programmes and our ambitions. Equally, South Sudan today is a rewarding place to be – a new country that still needs much of its plans for the future to be laid out and put in place. Joining Save the Children here now is thus an immensely exciting opportunity to help shape the future of a country as we, one of the largest agencies in the country, help formulate the future direction of this country – helping to put its children first
