JOB CONTEXT

Sudan was the theatre of a violent civil war between the South (Christian, which is the main religion) and the North (Muslim) which completely destroyed the South’s infrastructures. In 2011, a referendum took place to decide on the independence of South Sudan. The vote was overwhelmingly in favour of independence. After 2 years of relative stability, a political clash raised on December 2013 and gave way to a current unstable period in the country and within the government. The country is now under an emergency phase and the political stability for the next months is still under question.

Handicap International (HI) has worked in South Sudan for 8 years and has progressively developed mid & long term actions in 3 sites (Juba, Bor and Yei). Three projects are currently implemented : • A civic inclusion project with DPOs in Juba and Bor, • A national Kap Survey on Mine risk education in collaboration with UNICEF and the post-related VA project. • The four-year Victim Assistance Project in Yei County, Central Equatoria funded by Dutch MOFA Holland started in September 2012.

JOB ENVIRONMENT

The Republic of South Sudan became independent on the 9th of July 2011, but there are still conflicts at the border and militia clashes. The situation is fine now, but still with regular security issues though.

Juba is the capital of South Sudan and is accessible by commercial flights and by road. Bor is accessible by commercial flights only. A road connects Juba and Bor but should only be used for transportation of goods. The rainy season goes from May/June to September/October, which might impact road access.

The office and the Guesthouse are separated in Juba, and both premises are in centre town. Within Juba’s accomodation, each staff has his own self-contained room with air conditioner and own bathroom. The Guesthouse provides internet access and you can enjoy the TV set in the dining room. Juba offers as well some facilities as bars, restaurants, gym, and swimming pools. In Bor, after December crisis, the compound was fully destroyed and the implementation of planned activities is still under question. In case of return, a new compound with basic conditions will be rebuilt. The current compound is located outside the main city but accessible by car. It hosts the office and the living accommodations which are separated by a fence. As there is no base in Torit, staff on field will be accommodated in affordable and secure Hotels. Because of the context and security, it deals with an unaccompanied position.

Country Background

Following the eruption of hostilities in most parts of South Sudan, on 15 December 2013, it was estimated that around 490,6001 people were displaced in seven states including Eastern Equatorial, Unity, Upper Nile, Central Equatorial, Jonglei, Warrap and Lakes. Although the most well-known IDP locations are those located in the UNMISS Bases, commonly known as the Protection of Civilians Center (POC), significant number of displaced persons reportedly settled in collective centers, spontaneous settlements and with host families. Given the need to coordinate the provision of protection, assistance and management of the POC and other displacement sites, the HCT activated the CCCM Cluster on 25 December 2013 with UNHCR and IOM taking co-leadership roles and serving as providers of last resort, as part of their global cluster mandate. In line with the Cluster Approach Structures in South Sudan, the NGO Forum is represented in each cluster as a co-lead to support the coordination and represent the interest of NGOs but does not have the provider of last resort commitment. Hence, ACTED is the designated NGO Co-Lead representative for the CCCM Cluster. In addition to the leadership structures, other structures including an Information Management Cell and an Inter-cluster Technical Site Planning Working Group are formed, while the establishment of a Strategic Advisory Group is underway.

AssignmentAs the focal point for the cluster, CCCM Co-coordinator is accountable for the CCCM response to the humanitarian crisis. The cluster co-coordinators must ensure the inclusion of key humanitarian partners within the sector, respecting their mandates and programme priorities. Together, the cluster members will identify the overall requirements in responding to displacement sites and augment their capacity to meet this threshold while bearing in mind that the establishment of formal camps is the option of last resort,following a comprehensive review in coordination with the Protection Cluster.

The NGO Health Forum for South Sudan has existed since 2005. It was set up to facilitate communication between Non-Governmental organizations working in the health sector, and to enable NGOs to decide on a consensus of opinion to feed into the Health Sector Working Group (HSWG). In subsequent years the NGO Health Forum became the main opportunity for information sharing and coordination of the health NGO actors. A staff person from one of the health NGOs served the role of NGO Health Coordination, attached to the Directorate of External Assistance and Coordination of the Ministry of Health.

In mid-2010 the sector system of coordination for humanitarian support transitioned into a cluster system with the establishment of the Health Cluster, headed by a Cluster Lead, supported by WHO, and a Cluster Co-Coordinator, seconded by an NGO. The responsibilities of Cluster Co-Coordinator were combined with those of the NGO Health Coordinator. In December 2011, with the independence of South Sudan and increasing transition from purely humanitarian to a mixed humanitarian and development approach in delivery of health services, it was decided to separate the two positions. In November 2012, the separation became official with the hiring of a Health Cluster Co-Coordinator, allowing the NGO Health Coordinator to operate in close collaboration but independently from the Health Cluster.

The main purpose of the NGO Health Coordinator is to assist with coordination and communication between health partners in South Sudan (MoH RSS, NGOs, UN agencies, WHO, etc.). With over 140 NGOs in health, coordination needs and representation at the many technical working groups remain intensive and require a full-time dedicated post. This position continues to be attached to the MoH through both the Directorate of International Health and Coordination and the Directorate of Policy, Planning, and Budgeting.

SCOPE OF WORK
