The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

BACKGROUND:

On December 16, 2013, heavy military exchanges occurred between rival SPLA factions in Juba (Central Equatoria State). The fighting and violence quickly spread to other states in South Sudan, trapping thousands of civilians in Unity, Lakes, Upper Nile, and Jonglei States in UN bases or makeshift IDP settlements. Despite the signing of a cessation of hostilities agreement, f ighting has continued between Government and opposition forces, resulting in mass displacement. OCHA estimates that 1.3 million South Sudanese have been displaced due to insecurity, of whom 950,000 are internally displaced. It is estimated that around 87,000 IDPs are being sheltered in UN bases around the country.

The humanitarian response to the refugee crisis has been strong in the provision of basic services (Health, Nutrition, WASH etc.), and despite on-going challeges, the overall health and nutritional status of the refugee population has stabilised.

CANADEM is seeking individuals with previous international experience who are available for an immediate deployment to South Sudan with WFP for a 6 month contract ASAP.

Position Title: State level FSL cluster coordinator

Position Level: P3

Duration: 6 months

Location: South Sudan

Background and Justification:

On 15 December 2013 fighting broke out in South Sudan's capital Juba and rapidly spread to Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile States, resulting in extensive displacement. Although peace talks between the parties of the conflict are ongoing, the rapid increase in displacement over a very short period and the lack of clarity on the outcome of the talks has led the humanitarian community to anticipate a further increase in displacement in early 2014. Furthermore, aside from the direct impact of the violence, the displacement will most likely disrupt livelihoods and institutional structures and increase risks to public health, creating a longer-term need for delivery of frontline services to affected populations.

With conflict ongoing in some areas, land and fluvial access is significantly impeded due to insecurity leaving humanitarians with limited options to deliver lifesaving cargo to the displaced populations scattered across the country. The IDPs countrywide are 708,900 and there are 222,000 displaced into neighboring countries (as per the OCHA Situation Report as of 13 March 2014). Humanitarians are concerned that the actual number of displaced is significantly higher than estimated and registered figures, as access continues to be constrained due to insecurity.

The crisis has also had a direct impact on the 228,000 refugees from neighboring Sudan who are seek refuge in South Sudan, the majority of whom live in states affected by high levels of violence. Many international aid workers were temporarily relocated from Unity and Upper Nife States, further deteriorating the humanitarian situation within the already established refugee settlements. Should the violence continue, many positive gains achieved since 2012 could be lost and the country couid experience a return to emergency situation for refugee populations.

According to this analysis, it is estimated that 3.7 million people are now at immediate risk of food insecurity, including 1.1 million people in the IPC emergency phase, 2.1 million in the acute IPC phase, and some 500,000 displaced people estimated to be at similarly high risk. Overall, up to 7 million people are at some risk of food insecurity. This compares to the pre-crisis estimate of 1 million people in acute and none in emergency phase classifications. Of those at immediate risk, some 2.5 million people are in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states, (according to the South Sudan Crisis Response Plan, Jan-June 2014, prepared by the Humanitarian Country Team). Increasing access to food for people affected by displacement and food insecure households across the country is vital to combating malnutrition, disease and destitution. The current crisis has increased insecurity along commercial supply corridors, caused private sector actors to leave the country, and increased market fragmentation, food and fuel price inflation, risks of cattle raiding, limitations on mobility for migration related to livelihoods, and displacement. In addition, the crisis has directly affected the institutional capacity of food and livelihoods members and state institutions, as office, warehouses, vehicles and accommodation have been looted. The livestock disease control system has also been partially destroyed.

The overall goal of the South Sudan FSLC is to be the primary source of information on the on-going humanitarian response to address food insecurity and facilitate the development of a strategic vision. At the field level, critical information is exchanged including constraints around operations and understanding of potential response gaps. The that end, sub-nationals or state level FSLC are established to allow food security actors to meet regularly and in a structured manner discuss the membership's operations to date, highlight operational challenges, develop contingency response plans to anticipated localised shocks, act as a locus for response planning in an sudden onset emergency, and seek to identify possible members that couid scale or revise the locations of their operations to address forecasted response gaps.

Responsibilities:

The purpose of the State Level Food Security Clusters is to provide a field level forum for the discussion, coordination and advocating the information/training needs of FSLC members’ activities at a local operations level, develop local level contingency plans around 'likely' localised emergencies and act as the locus for emergency response planning during sudden onset emergencies. The State Level FSL cluster coordinator will carry out the following duties:

• Be the national cluster cO-coordinator's main channel for disseminating and collecting information in the geographical area - particularly minutes of meetings, emergency alerts, contingency matrices and the FSLC Cluster Activity Map.

• Lead coordination meetings at either the district or regional level.

• Act as a mechanism for updating and encouraging FSLC members in needs assessments and other related activities within the geographical area.

• Act as the primary conduit for dissemination of strategic decisions undertaken by the SAG to food security agencies within the identified region

• Act as the focal point, for ensuring, with the FSLC Secretariat that the members monthly report and plans match with activities in the field

• Liaise with OCHA and other local level coordination mechanisms where available.

• Implement information sharing protocols between state and national-level.

• Any other tasks that may be required (within reason) to achieve the objective of this assignment

Sudan was the theatre of a violent civil war between the South (Christian) and the North (Muslim) which lasted for about 50 years, and completely destroyed the South’s infrastructures. In 2005, a Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) was signed by both sides. The result was the creation of a federal government for the whole Sudan, which divided the country in 2 different authorities, one overseeing the north and the other one the south. In 2011, a referendum took place to decide on the independence of Southern Sudan who voted massively for the Independence. Relations are still tense between the two sides, with frequent disputes over borders and oil revenues.

In December 2013, a political power struggle broke out between President Kiir and his ex-deputy Riek Machar, accused of attempting a coup d’etat. Although both men have supporters from across South Sudan's ethnic divides, subsequent fighting has been communal, with rebels targeting members of Mr Kiir's Dinka ethnic group and government soldiers attacking Nuers (Machar ethnic group). More than 800,000 people have been displaced inside South Sudan and more than 250,000 people have fled to neighbouring countries, especially Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda, as a result of the conflict.

Awerial is an informal IDP site located around 15 km from Bor, a town heavily hit by the violence, across the Nile. Around 85,000 IDPs are estimated to have sought refuge in the area. Only limited registration has so far taken place. In the absence of a permanent camp, IDPs are scattered throughout a vast area and IDPs, chiefly heads of households, have recently started to move to Bor during the day to assess the damage in their properties.

Prior to the current emergency, Handicap International was implementing projects on victim assistance (Yei, Southern Central Equatoria) and on DPOs strengthening and mainstreaming amongst governmental actors (Juba, Central Equatoria and Bor, Jonglei State).

To respond to the current crisis, Handicap International is providing an immediate humanitarian response to the most vulnerable people located in Juba a vulnerability and disability focal point (provision of core relief items (wound, protection kits), mobility devices/aid, emergency physiotherapy and psychosocial support to IDPs in the camps and health facilities. In parallel, a range of technical support, information and promotion of inclusive services is provided among emergency actors.

A similar structure of activities is being established in Awerial, in close coordination with health service providers and protection actors. This structure will now be strengthened with new activities, including psychosocial support for persons with disability, their families and caregivers, and vulnerable persons in disabling situations and psychomotor stimulation for children with development delays.

Background:

Capacity building at human resource, organizational and institutional levels remains an urgent priority in South Sudan. It is central to restoring core institutions - both in terms of physical infrastructure and technical ability - and providing basic services to citizens. The Government of the Republic of South Sudan (RSS) has, together with its international partners, developed a Medium Capacity Development Strategy (MTCDS) as an Action Plan for Rapid Capacity Building. The MTCDS is derived directly from the objectives of the South Sudan Development Plan (SSDP) 2011 – 2016, and aims to provide a strategic framework for organizing capacity development efforts in support of these objectives, as well as the peace-building and state-building objectives of the RSS in the post-independence period

UNDP South Sudan seeks to contribute to this capacity building process by targeting the right functional and technical capacities at national, state and county levels, in order to increase the prospect of stability in South Sudan. Improving the capacity of government is both urgent and important, given the enormous development challenges facing the new state.

To meet the urgent capacity building gap, an initiative for capacity enhancement has been developed where member states of the IGAD community have committed to support the RSS both with human resources and financial assistance. The initiative supports the RSS to second and place 200 civil servants from IGAD Member States. These men and women will be deployed in strategic functions within national ministries, commissions and state-level local government. They will serve as rapid capacity enhancement support and be “twinned” with South Sudanese civil servants to ensure the direct transfer of skills and on-the-job training.

This project rapidly recruits and places highly qualified Civil Servants, designated as Civil Service Support Officers (CSSOs), to work within the RSS. All 200 are assigned to government structures and operate as civil servants with a contract signed with the RSS. The beneficiaries are principally key RSS and State ministries and agencies responsible for strategic areas essential for finance; local government; health, education and vocational training, aviation, access to justice and rule-of-law; infrastructure, trade and industry, among others.

In this regard, capacity development is be addressed in three ways:

1. Support capacity placement in government agencies through deployment of civil servants.
2. Strengthen South-South linkages between public sector agencies and think tanks in IGAD countries.
3. Strengthen Government capacity to recruit and sustain required technical assistance. IGAD Civil Servants are contracted by RSS and deployed in strategic functions within national ministries, commissions and state-level local government as a form of technical assistance to strengthen institutional capacity to deliver services. These Civil Servants are identified and recruited by the RSS with the support of UNDP; and are embedded in positions that serve to provide the impetus for enhanced service delivery.
