JOB CONTEXT:

Since 2006, the context in South Sudan had evolved towards post-emergency and development, and the decision was made October 2008 to transfer the programme in South Sudan from the Emergency to the Development Department as of June 2009. Considering the instability of the country, the program decided in 2013 to not close the door to emergency and to reframe its capacities to be able to manage both

In December 2013, the country broke down in a violent internal war, still on going in 2015, driving the populations into a protracted crisis. The program developed both approaches, by answering to the new emergency and by readjusting/keeping its long term projects.

At August 2015, the program includes:

• An emergency component with

o A Disability and Vulnerability Focal Point approach in Juba Intern Displaced People’s camps, shifting to a psychological assistance – donor to consolidate to keep it

o An emergency flying team – funding by CHF (UN pool fund) and looking for funds for next year.

• A long term component with

o A Victim Assistance project based in Yei county up to 2016 funded by MAE Holland, including rehab, livelihood and advocacy components and having to develop next phase

o A Inclusion / DPOs project funded by EC – Europe Aid focusing on mainstreaming disability among development processes and support to DPOs.
