ABOUT THE MISSION IN SOUTH-SUDAN

The conflict between Northern and Southern Sudan is known as the longest war in Africa. Six and half years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi in January 2005, South Sudan became the youngest country in the World on July 9th 2011, after a referendum.

In 2013, new rounds of violence erupted. Following East African mediation efforts and the threat of United Nations sanctions for both sides, a peace agreement was signed in 2015. Following Machar’s return to Juba in 2016 and his appointement as vice president, a new breakout of violence happened in Juba in July 2016. Machar was replaced as vice-president and fled the country as the global conflict erupted again. In the coming months at least, the general security situation is likely to remain precarious and volatile in the whole country.

Up to 300,000 (even more) people are estimated to have been killed in the war. More than 4 million people have been displaced in a country of 12 million, with about 2 million internally displaced and about 2.1 million having fled to neighboring countries (Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, DRC…).

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non-governmental organization. We work to reduce violence and protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath. NP implements programming through the deployment of civilian protection teams to the field.

South Sudan’s civil war is nearing its second anniversary. The war has forced 2.27 million people to flee their homes and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives. The people of South Sudan are facing a humanitarian emergency and are in the midst of a conflict that is often described first and foremost as a protection crisis - hundreds of thousands of people have been separated from their families and lost their homes, livelihoods and access to basic services like food, medical care and education.

NP is continuing to scale up to meet the growing needs. In South Sudan, NP has a mobile protection response team and 10 field teams providing emergency protection programme for communities affected by violent conflict. Programming is founded on unarmed civilian protection and is thematically focused on protection in displacement, child protection, gender based violence protection and women’s empowerment and inter-communal violence reduction.

The ongoing conflict and displacement in South Sudan is resulting in civilians experiencing escalated risk and exposure to violence. Women and girls particularly are experiencing increased sexual and gender-based violence. NP’s GBV protection and prevention programming focuses on 2 key areas: 1) women’s participation in peace and security and 2) direct protection for the prevention of and protection from GBV. NP’s programming focuses predominantly on prevention and protection, driven by the belief that there should be significantly more investment in protecting anyone from experiencing sexual and gender based violence at any point in their lives. NP does not provide post-incident health care, rather works with existing service providers to connect survivors with those services.

We are looking for experienced Women’s Participation and Protection Officers, to fill a number of vacancies, who share an unshakeable commitment to prevention as the best possible form of protection. You will be someone who understands that women’s active participation in peace and security directly leads to safer women and in fact, safer communities. You are motivated by prevention and are ready to engage in creative, bold and persistent interventions that will enhance security and safety for at-risk women and girls in conflict affected areas. While you will bring your experience and ideals to the role, you also have experience of working with and through cultures that may not share your beliefs. You are ready to be respectful to differences and finding diplomatic, constructive ways to engage on these challenges. You are ready to jump into a context where there are few formal structures or service providers, and those that exist may not lean towards the prevention of GBV and the promotion of women’s participation.

You will be a person with a genuine commitment to working at the community level, someone who is skilled at building trusting relationships in what can be an extremely polarized context. You are someone who is not deterred by the complexity of conflict; you are able to analyze conflict dynamics; you are motivated and unendingly persistent in finding and implementing protection and prevention strategies. You will be responsible for working together with other international and national

colleagues to directly implement the project and to participate in reporting and documentation. You are comfortable living and working in a remote, physically demanding environment, living full-time in a shared compound environment while enjoying a simple diet.

You are someone who combines creativity, innovation and demonstrated knowledge of protection, conflict prevention and/or peacebuilding with a specialist focus on women’s participation and protection. You are experienced and skilled at converting protection, violence reduction and conflict analysis and theory into practical, locally appropriate solutions that effectively increases safety and security of civilians affected by violent conflict. You will need to have excellent interpersonal skills and flair for connecting and building trust with people from a wide variety of backgrounds. And finally you are someone who is solutions focused, strategic and is driven by a keen interest and personal commitment to civilian protection.

Find out about our history and values

Humanitarian situation and needs:

In the Republic of South Sudan (SSD), more than 4 years of armed conflict have shattered the lives of millions of people. As of December 2017, there are 1.9 million people Internally Displaced (IDPs) out. Among IDPs, about 200,000 people have found refuge in UNMIS PoCs. There are 2 million refugees in neighbouring countries.

More than three quarter (76 percent) of the households across the country are facing moderate to severe food insecurity, related to poor economy, high food prices and insecurity. Malnutrition rates are persistently high. Health service delivery is depending on NGOs and in areas with increased number of IDPs and insecurity it remains a challenge with increased risks to epidemic prone diseases.

Previous Northern Bahr el Ghazal (NBeG) (where PUI is operating since Feb. 2015) is largely neglected by humanitarian assistance because of their peripheral situation with regards to the armed conflict. However, malnutrition rates have been persistently high and available health care is limited.

Our actions in the field:

PUI has been implementing different activities in Northern Bhar El Ghazal State since its arrival in the country:

• PUI took over a Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC) that used to be run by MSF-Spain. Since the beginning of the activities PUI has served a high number of beneficiaries. In 2017 alone, PUI has provided around 125,000 consultations serving beneficiaries from the whole state. PUI is delivering a full PHC package that includes health as well as sexual and reproductive health, with a special attention on children under 15 and pregnant and lactating women. This project is supported by ECHO.
• Nutrition activities in 11 nutrition sites. PUI started with one Nutrition site in April 2015 in the PHCC and has now extended to 11 sites, the last 7 have been added in 2017. PUI is in the process of opening more nutrition sites. The nutrition activities include treatment of acute malnutrition for children from 6 to 59 months and Pregnant and lactating women through OTP, TSFP and Stabilization Centre activities.
• Community outreach activities that are intertwined in every aspect of the activities. Our network of Community Volunteers are actively involved in active malnutrition screening within the communities, referral of cases to the PHCC and PHCUs; they also deliver health and IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) education sessions.
• PUI aims at saving lives through an integrated approach. Therefore, in 2018 PUI also started to add an FSL program, integrating health, nutrition and FSL and targeting the most at risk populations according.
