WASH Coordinator - Juba

Solidarités International is a French humanitarian organization which provides aid and assistance to victims of war or natural disaster. For over 30 years the association has focused on meeting three vital needs - water, food and shelter - by carrying out emergency programmes followed by longer-term reconstruction projects. Whilst fully respecting the assisted populations’ customs and culture, Solidarités International’s programmes are implemented through the joint expertise of around 180 expatriates and 1500 local managerial staff and employees. Solidarités International is currently present in Africa (Central African Republic, South Sudan, Kenya, Somalia, Liberia, Mali, Mauritania, Chad, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Republic of Côte d’Ivoire), in Asia (Afghanistan, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Pakistan) and in Haiti.

CONTEXT OF INTERVENTION

The Republic of South Sudan became an independent nation on 9 July 2011 seeing the popular will of its citizens fulfilled as per the Referendum vote in January 2011 – dictated by the Comprehensive Peace Agreement which ended over 20 years of civil war in 2005. With the government and citizens now looking forward to the development of the nation, South Sudan is still plagued by a number of conflict and natural disaster related emergencies creating significant humanitarian disasters in the severely underdeveloped rural areas.

The emergence of multiple rebel militia groups in the lead up to independence and the acute armed conflict in Southern Kordofan between northern and southern troops created widespread population displacements in the northern states of South Sudan.

Solidarités International (SI) implements rural and semi-urban water and sanitation activities in three states: Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity. SI target counties prone to receiving IDPs and/or returnees and are prone to natural disaster (namely flooding). Upper Nile and Jonglei programmes are operated out of Malakal, the Upper Nile State capital. Intermittent emergency response programmes are also implemented in and around Malakal Town, on receiving influxes of returnees/IDPs. Unity State programmes are administrated from an office in Bentiu, the Unity State capital with plans a remote base in Leer, southern Unity State.
