Dimensions: Dimension of the role:
South Sudan is the most challenging and exciting working environments that Save the Children currently works in, the newest country in the world. Its legacy of thirty years of war has yet to be even party addressed as its new government struggle to both mature and reach out to its peoples.
Education rates remain extremely low with the less than 10% of the population finishing primary school; and only 200 girls completing secondary school in 2011 (out of total population of greater than 8 million peoples).
Infrastructure across the country remains virtually non-existent; with 80%of the country-including State capitals-only accessible for half of the year (the rainy season) by small aircraft.
Even in the capital-Juba-there are no functioning public utilities, few tarmac read and limited health services. Aid agencies rely on generators; water trucking and satellite internet to meet their basic needs. The agencies still provide some 75% of the basic services of the South Sudanese population. Parts of the country are still racked by insecurity-tribal militia, rebel militia groups and direct conflicts with the North of Sudan all take their regular toll on civilian population.
Save the Children has been active in South Sudan for over 20 years. In 2010 the three active field agencies-Save the Children Sweden, US and UK come together under unified presence with the Save the Children Uk as the managing member. We reach and help the meet the rights of hundreds of thousands of children every year.
There is currently total of 28 active grants that Save the Children is implementing across thirteen field offices. This numbers is likely to increase over the year to approximately 35 active grants. The expected yearly expenditure of this grants is expected to reach over US$30 Million during the course of 2012.The grants vary from short term emergency response grants from CHF, UN agencies, ECHO….etc through to multi-year funding for longer term development programmes.
This is a challenging role in a complex environment. It requires as dedicated, experienced and highly motivated individual who can manage the difficulties of living and working in such environment and still be fundamental in helping to drive forward our programmes and our ambition.
Equally South Sudan today is an rewording place to be-a new country that still needs much of its plans for the future to be laid out and put in place. Joining Save the Children now is an immensely exciting opportunity to help shape the future of the country as we, one of the largest agencies in the country help to formulate the future direction of this country-helping to put its is children first
