GOAL’s food security and livelihoods programming has expanded moving beyond seeds and tools provision to the use of Village Savings and Loans (VSL) schemes, this will be developed further to support Farmer Associations and more specific inputs along the value chain based on thorough market assessments thereby not only increasing productivity but also linking farmers with markets.

South Sudan: South Sudan – A Health Program Manager in Gogrial

$

Organization: Première Urgence - Aide Médicale Internationale
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 30 Apr 2016

Première Urgence Internationale(PUI) is a non-governmental, non-profit, non-political and non-religious international aid organization. Our teams are committed to supporting civilians’ victims of marginalization and exclusion, or hit by natural disasters, wars and economic collapses, by answering their fundamental needs. Our aim is to provide emergency relief to uprooted people in order to help them recover their dignity and regain self-sufficiency. The association leads in average 140 projects by year in the following sectors of intervention: food security, health, nutrition, construction and rehabilitation of infrastructures, water, sanitation, hygiene and economic recovery. PUI is providing assistance to around 4 million people in 22 countries – in Africa, Asia, Middle East, Caucasus and Europe.

Humanitarian situation and needs

In the Republic of South Sudan (SSD), more than 2 years of armed conflict have shattered the lives of millions of people. 2014 and 2015 have been years of continued instability due to unresolved border issues (between Sudan and South Sudan) and more importantly due to the civil war between SPLM/A forces loyal to President S. Kiir and SPLA-IO loyal to the rebel leader R. Machar, former vice-president. As of beginning of 2015; at least six out of 10 states are affected by armed violence, 1.66 million people have been displaced within the country, more than 640.000 refugees have fled out of the country, 3.9 million people are severely food insecure. Among IDPs, about 180.000 people have found refuge in UNMIS PoCs. All this needs to be considered in a very young country within which virtually the entire population has experienced forced displacement at least 1 time and hence where resilience is massively jeopardized.

Northern Bahr el Ghazal (NBeG) and Warrap states (where PUI is respectively operating since Feb. 2015 and planning to start operating in spring 2016) have been and still are largely neglected by humanitarian assistance because of their peripheral situation with regards to the armed conflict. However, a deterioration of the humanitarian context is to be noted and new displacements are still an option for the coming months.

Our action in the field

PUI has been operating in SSD since February 2015 and intends to extend the coverage of its current intervention. Addressing urgent needs of the most vulnerable in the targeted areas is planned through the following strategic objectives:

– Improvement of the access to health care services

– Reduction of the risks associated with food insecurity and undernutrition

Other strategic objectives will be considered in 2016 and will be used to define complementary pulti-sector needs assessemnts in the area where PUI is already operational but might also cover new counties/states depending on the evolution of the political/security situation. The sectors PUI would like to investigate are the following: Shelter & NFIs, Water Sanitation & Hygiene, Rehabilitation & Construction and Economic Recovery.

In 2015 PUI has implemented the following projects in the county of Aweil North (NBeG State):

– Access to Primary Health Care services:

A Primary Health Care Centre has been fully operational in Malual Centre Payam and associated to outreach and community based activities in an area where host community is massively vulnerable and where movements are stil recorded. The targeted area is virtually free from other type of humanitarian intervention. This project is funded by ECHO DG, will be extended in time in 2016 and shall be scaled-up in 2016 by the operating of a second PHCC in West Gogrial county (Warrap State).

– Food Security and Nutrition:

Food distributions have targeted about 600 IDP households in Aweil North County as well as the families of patients discharged after having been treated for Acute Sever Undernutrition in the PHCC. This project has been supported by CIAA in 2015 and has also allowed distributing daily food parcels to patients and care-takers at the PHCC level. This project is supposed to be extended in 2016.

The financial volume of operation in 2016 should be superior to the volume of 2015 thanks to the scaling up of operations in Warrap county.

As part of our activities in South Sudan, we are looking for a Health Program Manager.

The Health Technical Manager supervises the implementation of health programs deployed by PUI in Gogrial West County, Warrap State.

  • Programs: He/She ensures proper implementation and monitoring of health program(s) falling under his/her responsibility, while observing PUI’s health policy.
  • Human Resources: He/She supervises the Medical Team (PUI salaried employees and, as the case may be, daily paid workers).
  • Logistics and Administration: He/She ensures compliance of activities falling under his/her responsibility with logistical and administrative procedures.
  • Representation: He/She represents the association before partners, authorities and local actors involved in the implementation of medical programs.
  • Safety: He/She contributes to efforts aimed at ensuring compliance with safety rules at the site, and transmits all information relating to safety concerns to his/her immediate supervisor.
  • Strategy: He/She contributes to the development of new interventions on the basis of identified needs.

South Sudan: Training Project Manager

Organization: Médecins Sans Frontières
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 29 Apr 2016

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is an international humanitarian aid organisation that provides

assistance in more than 60 countries to populations in distress, to victims of natural or

manmade disasters and to victims of armed conflicts, without discrimination of religion, creed or

political affiliation. To reinforce the capacity building of the national employees of South Sudan

mission, the Operational Department is recruiting a:

Training Project Manager (m/f)

South Sudan, officially the Republic of South Sudan, gained its independence from Sudan in

2011.

Education in South Sudan is modelled after the educational system of the Republic of Sudan.

Primary education consists of eight years, followed by three years of secondary education. After

that the education can be pursued at the university or the technical school;

Illiteracy rates are high in the country. In 2011, it is estimated that more than 80% of the South

Sudanese population cannot read or write.

Post-secondary education

After graduation from secondary school, one can pursue further education in either a university

or a vocational (technical school). There is a shortage of both, however like in most Sub-Saharan

countries too much emphasis is placed on acquiring a university education and not enough on

obtaining practical skills in a technical institution.

MSF in South Sudan

MSF has been providing medical assistance in South Sudan since 1983. Today, all MSF sections

are present in eight out of ten states in South Sudan addressing emergencies, widespread

vulnerability and the lack of access to free, quality health care. MSF OCB is running 4 projects in

South Sudan.

After years in South Sudan and multiple training efforts towards the development of a coherent

capacity building strategy, today international staff continue to spend a lot of time and energy on

basic hands-on activities and not just on supervision and management.

Despite the high motivation of the majority of our national staff to grow, staff trainings

organized up to today did not prove to be efficient. Often, even basic tasks cannot be performed

without close guidance; it’s particularly problematic for paramedical profiles. As a consequence,

in some of our projects (Doro, Gogrial) we have very large expatriate teams in order to perform

the work which is normally done by national staff and in the locations where the expatriate team

is limited for security reasons (Pibor), the quality of care provided does not reach the expected

standards.

The dramatically poor level of education in rural areas (sometimes we the struggle to find

people able to read and write) forces us to hire staff from Juba and relocate them to the field. In a

context like Pibor where the ethnical origin is an issue, this solution is even more complex.

Amongst almost 700 national staff we employ only 10 clinical officers, 5 nurses and 2 midwifes.

We do not manage to recruit any medical doctor.

Although it is clear that training cannot replace the general lack of education, the mission needs

to explore ways and find strategies to ensure optimal utilization of the national staff capacities.

Following this situation, the idea was born to create an MSF Training Centre.

Specific objective of this project is to increase the level of competencies of national staff (all

profiles) and expected results are:

  • Technical gap between real competencies of national staff and competencies needed to

perform the work at a level defined by MSF is reduced;

  • National staff in South Sudan mission is capable to perform tasks described in the Job

Profiles;

  • National staff in South Sudan mission occupies supervision and management positions;

  • Retention of national staff is increased;

OVERALL OBJECTIVE OF THE POSITION:

To make a project proposal for the creation of MSF Training Centre in South Sudan.

MAIN TASKS:

  1. Technical gap analysis and training needs assessment for the following profiles:

Paramedical

Logistics

HR / administration

Finance

Organization: South Sudan NGO Forum
Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 15 Apr 2016

**Terms of Reference

Mapping NGO Humanitarian Access in South Sudan

Database Development and Piloting **

The NGO Forum is an independent coordinating body comprised of approximately 242 national and 142

international NGOs. The Forum facilitates the work of its members to address the humanitarian and

development needs in South Sudan through policy development, advocacy and representation,

coordination, information management and security analysis.

The South Sudan NGO Forum is expanding its ability to map and analyze the operational environment

for NGOs delivering development and humanitarian programs in South Sudan. The Forum seeks a

consultant to help develop an independent access database designed to assist NGOs efforts to assess and

analyze the evolving operational landscape, and ultimately to secure and sustain humanitarian access.**1. Purpose and Background**

The purpose of this temporary consultancy is to develop an independent NGO database on humanitarian

access and regulatory issues, which may impede the delivery of assistance, in South Sudan. The aim is to

develop and pilot the database, systematize data collection, reporting tools and analytical products for

NGOs experience with humanitarian access across South Sudan.

NGOs face a unique experience in South Sudan. In 2015, NGOs were responsible for the delivery of

more than 80% of the $1.3 billion in humanitarian response delivered throughout South Sudan. With a

static presence in almost every county in South Sudan, NGOs experience and navigate the environment

differently than other humanitarian and development practitioners. However, there is limited data to

describe the unique environment NGOs operate in or to effectively quantify the financial and

administrative costs of access impediments and their corresponding impact on program quality and

effectiveness.**2. Scope of Work**

The aim of the consultancy will be to produce a humanitarian access database designed to capture the

forms, agents, dates, locations and other parameters associated with access impediments and regulatory

constraints (e.g. “bureaucratic impediments”) in South Sudan. The consultant will develop, adapt and

modify the database structure, format and/or user interface as required, incorporating ideas and

modifications from the NGO Forum, NGO leadership and other key stakeholders. Accompanying tools

will require development and finalization to ensure the effective implementation and roll-out of the

platform, including a document database, a database design description and coding handbook, data

safety and security protocols, users guide and operational manuals and other documents as need

determines.

Final outputs will include:

• Database platform – the platform should be piloted and tested by populating the platform with

existing incident data where available.

• A database codebook, including design description and constraint type definitions, coding

methodology, and users’ guide.

• Suite of analytical product templates (e.g. weekly, monthly, quarterly and annual reports),

incident maps, and other relevant reporting templates, including for example graphs and charts

demonstrating patterns, trends, numbers etc.

• Data safety and security protocols

• Training and capacity building tools, along with final training session for key staff.**3. Location and Travel**

The consultant will work from Juba and therefore must be available to travel to South Sudan. Some

elements of the project may be initiated and/or finalized outside of Juba.**4. Qualifications and Experience**

The applicant must have experience should have a strong NGO background and direct experience related

to database development and humanitarian access. Ideally the successful candidate will have experience

in South Sudan or a similar context. Candidates with the following skills and experience will be

considered:

• Quantitative analysis skills and/or experience developing databases to map trends; preference

given to candidates with humanitarian access or conflict trends analysis and database

development.

• Minimum 3-5 years work in database design and administration, database management, and data

analysis. Specific experience can include information management or monitoring and evaluation

related to humanitarian access, security, human rights or protection.

• Proven ability to develop rigorous, efficient and innovative data analysis methodologies and data

management systems.

• Significant experience in explaining and producing products to illuminate complex data findings

simply and accessibly, including thoughtful use of graphics and visualizations.

• Advanced knowledge of Excel, SPSS and/or STATA.

• Experience in writing user-friendly database design documentation and operating manuals.

• Proven training skills, with ability to build data analysis capacity of specialists and policy

generalists alike.

• Familiarity with humanitarian issues, systems and actors and understanding of a broad range of

issues affecting NGO operations in complex conflict environments.

• Strong understanding of humanitarian access in situations of armed conflict and parameters

affecting access.

• Willingness to travel to South Sudan.

• Creative and innovative in developing new ways of accessing and interpreting data; able to

identify data needs and create and seize opportunities to put ideas into practice.

• Investigative by nature and persistent in obtaining new information and data. Able to question

the validity of information and offer ideas and solutions.

• Excellent interpersonal and networking skills, able to build strong and lasting relationships with

stakeholders, clients and colleagues.

• Able to work both independently and collaboratively within and across teams.

• Fluency in written and spoken English.**5. Duration of Contract**

working with the South Sudan NGO Forum team.
