Duty station: Juba – South Sudan

Reporting to: NLRC Country Representative, South Sudan
Starting date: 15 May 2013
Context
South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) is relatively young National Society (NS). By the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in January 2005, only four branches existed in the South. In September 2006 the South Secretariat of the Sudanese Red Crescent Society was established as a counterpart of the Government and to represent the Red Crescent in Southern Sudan. The structures of the Sudan Red Crescent in South Sudan were transformed in to the South Sudan Red Cross on the 9th July 2011 following the independence of South Sudan.
One of the major challenges of operating within the South Sudan and without context and in particular with a new National Red Cross Society is naturally that the challenges are related to very limited organizational capacities and structures on which to build.
Establishment of the Disaster Management department took place during the second half of 2011, supported by the Danish Red Cross in collaboration with ICRC. There is a huge challenge in the development of the SSRC DM capacity, since the DM needs to develop in tandem and interact with the administrative, financial, Human resources and not the least Organizational Development functions of the SSRC in order to be well positioned.
Since 2004 the NLRC has been and continues supporting the South Sudan Red Cross in activities ranging from management of PHC units to HIV activities integrated with the PHCs.
The NLRC is supporting SSRC in their Disaster Management ambitions by implementing a 5 year programme, called Response Preparedness.
