Summary of the role

DFID South Sudan are looking for a dynamic and enthusiastic South Sudanese Policy Officer to join the Humanitarian and Livelihoods Team. The post holder should have experience and knowledge in the fields of food security, livelihoods, resilience and/or economic security programming. But equally importantly should be intellectual curiosity, flexibility and a keenness to learn.

This job offers an exciting opportunity to make a significant contribution to delivering better impact and results from the humanitarian and resilience effort in South Sudan. The successful candidate will play a key role in informing key policy objectives and in designing and implementing DFID South Sudan’s multi-year humanitarian and resilience programming.

The context:

The humanitarian outlook in South Sudan is incredibly challenging. 5.3 million people are severely food insecure, and 1 million people are on the edge of famine. Four years of conflict has lead to significant displacement with 4 million people forced from their homes due to violence (1.9 million internally). The conflict has been divesting for people’s livelihoods and has severely eroded people’s normal copying capacity to deal with shocks and stresses. Ultimately only peace will resolve the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, but until that happens it will be important to support the resilience of people and communities as far as possible.

Under the Humanitarian and Resilience in South Sudan (HARISS) programme, the UK through a range of partners has been supporting a range of essential life-saving services (food assistance, health, nutrition and WASH) as well as livelihood opportunities. These include diversified food production systems, stimulating market recovery through cash interventions, enabling vulnerable people to access markets, as well as working with communities through cash for work schemes to strengthen infrastructure that supports livelihoods and climate change adaptation.

DFID South Sudan’s 2016 to 2020 business plan sets out plans to build peace and stability, to reduce extreme poverty and to increase resilience. Our programmes help meet immediate life-saving needs and build South Sudanese people’s resilience to crises through strengthening their livelihoods.

Background

Since the December 2013 crisis, the Republic of South Sudan continued to face a worsening spiral of humanitarian, development, economic and security crises of unprecedented proportions. The country is riveted in a mutually-reinforcing conflict dynamic that involves several actors beyond the two key principal players of the August 2015 peace accord. In the aftermath of the peace deal, relatively peaceful regions turned into a stage for contesting the new disposition of power in the country which exposes an internal strain in the peace accord. Several drivers of conflict, some new and others heightened by the conflict, have emerged around poorly managed decentralization, corruption, marginalization, ethnic rivalries and exclusionary politics, and unaddressed local grievances that have fed localized militias and insurgencies in the country

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) data has highlighted that 5.3 million people (48% of the population) are estimated to be facing Crisis and Emergency (IPC Phases 3 and 4) acute food insecurity, out of which 1 million people are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity. Worsening food insecurity is primarily driven by protracted conflict and displacements, which have contributed to insufficient crop production (only 61% of the 2018 national cereal needs are met by the harvest), disruptions to livelihoods and persistent macroeconomic deterioration. Livelihoods have been further eroded by climatic shocks, such as prolonged dry spells and flooding, and pest infestations (e.g. Fall Armyworm). Estimates by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) suggested that because of the conflict, nearly 2 million people have been internally displaced and over 2 million people have sought refuge in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo with women and children being worst hit.

Overall, the economic growth in South Sudan continues to be severely afflicted by the civil war and consequent displacements, insecurity and weakening of state institutions across the country. The African Development Bank (AfDB) Country Outlook for South Sudan has estimated that GDP has fallen by 13.1 % in 2016. Ongoing conflict further hampers efforts to consolidate the economy. The AfDB outlook states that the ‘economic prospects are negative and dependent on a significant recovery in oil prices, implementation of the slew of economic and fiscal measures announced in September 2016’. Budget deficit is estimated at 36% for the 2017/18 financial year.

In July 2017, IGAD initiated the process of convening a High-Level Revitalization Forum (HLRF) to put ARCSS on track and reinforce its implementation within firm and credible timeframes. Subsequent to several inclusive preliminary consultations, the parties to the conflict signed the “Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians, and Humanitarian Access” in Addis Ababa on December 21, 2017. The second phase of the High-Level Revitalization Forum is ongoing and the various parties are expected to examine the 2015 peace deal to include other new groups who rebelled against the Government after the collapse of the August 2015 deal in the first week of July 2016.

The Transitional Government of National Unity has continued to prioritize reconciliation efforts through the National Dialogue, which is scheduled to be concluded by April 2018. Initial consultations at the subnational level have commenced in the largely Government-controlled areas. Further, the Sub-Committee on Refugees and International outreach conducted consultation in Uganda and Kenya with South Sudanese refugees and the diaspora. The Sub-Committee is expected to conduct consultation in Sudan, Ethiopia, DRC and Egypt. Furthermore, national consultations regarding the content of the legislation that will establish Commission on Truth Reconciliation and Healing (CTRH), commenced in December 2017 as provided by the peace agreement. The Council of Ministers also endorsed the draft statute and memorandum of understanding of the Hybrid Court for South Sudan (HCSS) in December 2017. The statute gives clarity to the role of the HCSS, its structure, composition and jurisdiction.

The South Sudan Development Plan (SSDP) originally launched after independence in 2011 for a period of two years was extended until mid-2016 as the momentum for development weakened, first by the fiscal crisis in 2012 and then by the conflict from 2013 onwards. The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) adapted to changing context by refreshing and extending its own United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), which expired in 2016. With the conclusion of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in August 2015, there is now a new roadmap for progress and new opportunities to strengthen efforts towards peace and development. The Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict (August 2015) provides for the Transitional Government of National Unity to establish a new national development framework during the transitional period until 2018. However, this did not materialize due to the collapse of the peace agreement in July 2016. Until this new national development framework is in place, and in order for the UNCT to better align the policy and programmatic work to the current context, the Country Team has decided to launch an Interim Cooperation Framework (ICF) as its overarching Strategic Plan covering the period 2016 -2018. UNDP also developed its Country Programme Document (CPD 2016-2018) aligned with the ICF. Currently, UNCT is developing the new UN Country Cooperation Framework (UNCF 2019-2021) to replace the ICF .UNDP is also developing its CPD (2019-2021) aligned with the UNCF and builds on the achievements of the previous CPD (2016-2018) on Recovery, Resilience and Reaching the Most Vulnerable.

As part of the peace deal (2015), the government has initiated the preparation of the national development strategy (NDS) which seeks to provide strategic direction and key priorities across economy, basic services and governance cluster for the period July 2018 to June 2021. The NDS is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2018.

South Sudan recognizes the need to raise productivity in non-oil export sectors in order to diversify as well as make growth more inclusive. Employment generation and improved livelihoods are not only important for poverty reduction, but is central to maintaining peace and security. The challenge for South Sudan is to shape the growth process to promote to the fullest extent possible the creation of productive, remunerative and decent employment for both men and women, particularly among the youth. A major driver of job creation will be private sector development.

The UNDP programme supports the Government’s efforts to create an enabling environment for rapid private sector development in key growth sectors such as agriculture and effectively use its natural resources to accelerate inclusive growth. UNDP thus focuses on three key programme areas: (i) Creating an enabling environment for inclusive growth through policy development, enhancing financial literacy in rural areas and effectively linking communities to microfinance services and marketing channels; (ii) Supporting trade capacity development through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Least Developed Countries to include strengthening institutional capacity for trade policy formulation and implementation within development priorities; and (iii) Strengthening pro-poor development policy through evidence-based planning and budgeting

The programme is a deliberate attempt to nurture growth in the non-oil sector of the economy using the ‘inclusive markets’ approach, creating an enabling environment for inclusive growth through the promotion of small and medium enterprises, supporting effective planning, use and reporting on public and donor resources, and expanding access to health services through the management of four Global Fund grants.

Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Country Director (Programme), the Team Leader of the Human Development & Inclusive Growth Unit (HDIGU) acts as a Programme Manager for all aspects of UNDP South Sudan’s programme in the area of poverty reduction, inclusive growth and sustainable development recovery and resilience and HIV and AIDS, , overseeing a major portfolio of project initiatives, which are largely Directly Implemented (DIM) by UNDP, and a Programme Unit with a large number of project personnel across all former ten states of South Sudan. The main roles of the Team Leader are to manage the HDIG Unit, including leading the programme team in strategic planning and identification of new programme areas, to oversee and provide quality assurance and compliance to project implementation, promote partnership, and manage the Unit itself.

The Team Leader works in close collaboration with Chief Programme Advisors, Technical Advisor and other programme Units (Democratic Governance and Stabilization Unit), the Strategic Advisory Unit, and the Operations team in the UNDP South Sudan Office to ensure effective and efficient programme delivery within the overall strategy and approach of UNDP in South Sudan

Search South Sudan

For decades, civil war raged in Sudan that culminated to the signing of Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) between the South and North in January 2005. The CPA paved way for a referendum that led to South Sudan gaining independence from Sudan in July 9th 2011. After just two years South Sudan again plunged in to another civil unrest in mid-December 2013 following disagreement between the political elites. Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (ARCSS) was quickly signed between the Sudan people’s Liberation Movement/Army (SPLAM/A) factions in 15th August 2015 to put an end to the conflict, raising some hope for peace. However, the hope quickly sidelined, as the two antagonistic SPLA forces clashed in Juba mid-July 2016. The ongoing uncertainty and instability underscores the fragile justice system that has thus far failed to provide effective legal remedies to the most vulnerable segments of South Sudan’s population, particularly women and youth in marginalized rural communities across the country. Compounding the supply-side challenges to the establishment of a vibrant and healthy justice system is the lack of capacity amongst rule of law actors to effectively carry out their duties in a manner that respects human rights and the needs of citizens. Additionally, the absence of information, trust, transparency and confidence in the justice sector has limited the ability of the citizenry to demand effective legal remedies. The low capacity in civil society has hindered their ability to fill the critical gaps in the current justice system, placing the responsibility in the hands of limited interventions by international actors.

About the project

To address the aforementioned issues, the Access Partnership Consortium (APC), consisting of Search for Common Ground (Search), in partnership with the International Development Law Organization (IDLO) and the Initiative for Peace Communication Association (IPCA), is completing the implementation of a project funded by the US Department of State’s Bureau of International Narcotics and Law (INL). The overall goal isto improve access to justice services that provide legal remedies to rural and marginalized citizens in five South Sudanese counties.

This overall goal was supported by a three-pronged approach that sought to: (1) increase demand for effective justice services, (2) improve supply of quality legal remedies for the most marginalized populations, and (3) produce community-rooted research leading to policy reform to ensure nationwide impact.

The project’s theory of change is:

If marginalized citizens have increased access to an improved justice sector and interconnected media and civil society support this access, then the foundation will be laid for a more functional and equitable justice sector and improved peaceful coexistence at the community level.

To progress towards the proposed change, the project team implemented the following activities:

1. To increase demand for effective justice services:

2. Radio programming, including live radio talk-shows and a radio drama

3. Community dialogue forums

4. Participatory theatre shows

5. A comic book

6. A multimedia public information campaign

7. A justice newsletter

8. To improve supply of quality legal remedies for the most marginalized populations:

9. Legal aid clinics and the provision of pro bono services

10. Trainings for paralegals

11. Scholarships for paralegals

12. CSO capacity-building and technical trainings

13. Rule of law actors’ coordination forums

14. Distribution of legal resources

15. To produce community-rooted research leading to policy reform to ensure nationwide impact:

16. A baseline and legal needs assessment

2. General context of the project

Torit falls in Eastern Equatoria (EEQ), one of the volatile and conflict prone regions in South Sudan. The situation in South Sudan continues to be very fragile. There is limited infrastructural development in Torit area mainly due to the crisis. Torit-Juba and Torit-Kapoeta roads are the main supply routes but not maintained. The road from Torit to Magwi and Nimule that connects Juba plays a significant role in trade and commerce for the country and Eastern Equatoria in particular. The collapse of the Government of National Unity in July 2016 precipitated triggers for conflict, insecurity, economic crisis and food insecurity across the country, with the currency in free fall and inflation skyrocketing. In February 2017, the Government of Salva Kiir and United Nations declared famine in parts of the country with nearly 5 million or 40% of the population at risk. Besides civil conflict and drought, other key internal displacement hazards include flooding and health epidemics especially cholera.

South Sudan is a country which has been affected by complex emergencies, both natural and conflict-related, for decades. INTERSOS has been present in South Sudan since2006 with a country office in Juba and field bases in six States of the country, namely Jonglei, Upper Nile, Unity, Eastern Equatoria, Western Equatoria and Central Equatoria. INTERSOS focuses on implementing emergency response and relief programs in different sectors: Protection, Education, NFI/Shelter and WASH with a special focus on serving the conflict-affected population, which were forced to displace from their homes by the conflict but also the hosting communities, which often are equally vulnerable.

3. General purpose of the position

This position will be based in Torit and the responsible person will serve as Cluster Focal Point taking the lead of cluster coordination among other INGOs, and also coordinates Cluster meetings: organise, chair and act as secretariat for state level cluster meetings; share agenda and minutes of cluster meetings at state and national level.
