RE-ADVERTISEMENT

OI COUNTRY DIRECTOR - SOUTH SUDAN

Contract type: Fixed Term – 2 years (renewable) International Posting

Location:Juba (Non-family Posting)

Oxfam is a global movement of people working together to end the injustice of poverty.

That means we tackle the inequality that keeps people poor. Together we save, protect and rebuild lives. When disaster strikes, we help people build better lives for themselves, and for others. We take on issues like land rights, climate change and discrimination against women. And we won’t stop until every person on the planet can enjoy life free from poverty.

We are an international confederation of 19 organizations (affiliates) working togetherwith partners and local communities in the areas of humanitarian, development and campaigning, in more than 90 countries.

Background

Following decades of fighting, South Sudan formally became an independent state in July 2011. There was high expectation for stability and growth and many believed they would not see another conflict in the country they fought so hard and long for. Unfortunately, violence erupted in Juba in December 2013 and quickly transformed into a national, political and ethnic crisis. South Sudan remains in a serious humanitarian crisis due to the cumulative effects of years of conflict and violence against civilians, which has destroyed people’s livelihoods and forced 4.2 million people to flee their homes – nearly 2 million inside and 2.2 million outside the country. The number of people who require humanitarian or protection assistance in 2019 remains as high as 7 million. Oxfam is responding to immediate lifesaving needs while addressing the root causes of poverty and inequality, linking with complementary development and campaigns approaches in order to build the resilience of vulnerable communities, and of women and girls in particular, against continued cycles of violence, displacement, and isolation for communities.

Our work focuses on four pillars:

• Saving lives, now and in the future: Women and girls, people with special needs, and other vulnerable individuals and communities are more resilient to shocks, and when they do strike, have equitable access to adequate levels of safe, timely, and effective humanitarian assistance that addresses their particular needs and priorities, allowing them to survive in dignity.
• Resilient Livelihoods: Poor and vulnerable households and communities, and female headed households, male youths, and landless/displaced persons in particular, are able to meet their basic needs and improve their quality of life in a sustainable manner that is resilient to shocks, stress, and uncertainty.
• Advancing Gender Justice: Poor and vulnerable women and girls experience an improved quality of life, living in security and dignity, as a result of being empowered economically and socially to be transformative leaders and change agents within their households, communities, and nation
• Governance and active citizenship: Poor and marginalised citizens of South Sudan, and their representatives in Civil Society, are better able to claim and access their rights from traditional, local and national authorities, institutions and systems that operate according to principles of good governance.

The Role

The Country Director provides strategic leadership and management of this large and high profile program, including all development and humanitarian programming to maximise our influence and impact.

The position is accountable to the Oxfam Regional Director for Horn, Eastern and Central Africa (HECA) for the delivery, effective management (which includes budgets and planning), monitoring and evaluation, and learning from the program.

What we are looking for:

We are looking for a dynamic, charismatic and credible leader with the following:

• Master’s degree in relevant field
• Significant senior leadership and management experience in the development and delivery of high quality program, influencing and humanitarian strategy, with and through partners or directly, in one or more challenging, fragile and complex locations / contexts
• Proven track record of applying new technologies to programming or make use of existing technologies to innovatively influence program design and delivery
• Proven track record in influencing and negotiation at grassroots, national, regional as well as international levels
• Experience in leading and motivating multi-disciplinary teams, operating in geographically remote and multiple locations
• Proven records of successional investment in start-up programming to ultimately achieve impact at scale
• Committed to a rights-based approach including an active commitment to putting women’s rights at heart of all we do
• Experience of managing complex change processes and relationships involving a wide range of both internal and external multi-cultural stakeholders across a variety of disciplines and geographical areas
• A high degree of self-awareness and an understanding of how to drive and support excellent team performance and individual development in line Oxfam’s values and policies
• Proven track record of success in representing an organisation with partners; government agencies, private sector organisations, media and donors at senior level; national and globally
• Knowledge and understanding how institutions such as IGAD, AU, EAC etc. work and how these impact on Oxfam’s work in South Sudan
• NGO Sector experience in the country or region, is an asset
• Fluent in English

We Offer:

At Oxfam, we believe that every aspect of our work can lead to a positive outcome. If you have the same opinion, together with the ability to meet the challenges involved, this role offers scope for immense personal fulfilment – as well as outstanding opportunities to develop your career.

Save the Children is the world's leading independent organisation for children. We work in 120 countries. We save children's lives; we fight for their rights; we help them fulfil their potential.

We work together, with our partners, to inspire breakthroughs in the way the world treats children and to achieve immediate and lasting change in their lives.

We have over two million supporters worldwide and raised 1.9 billion dollars last year to reach more children than ever before, through programmes in health, nutrition, education, protection and child rights, also in times of humanitarian crises.

Following a major transition, our international programmes are now delivered through a merged operation with 15,000 staff, managed through seven regional hubs and reporting to a relatively small, central office. We are changing to become more efficient, more aligned, a better partner, a stronger advocate, a magnet for world-class people and relevant for the 21st century.

SCOPE OF ROLE:
Reports to: Country Director with indirect reporting lines to the Regional HR Director

South Sudan is one of 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 partly addressed as its new government struggles to both mature and reach out to its people.

More than 6.1 million people – one-half of the population – are in need of humanitarian assistance in South Sudan as a result of continued violence, the impact of a poor harvest and economic downturn. Humanitarian needs exist in all parts of the country, with a recent deterioration of the food security situation and the outbreak of diseases such as cholera and measles. Despite constraints and dangers, humanitarian workers have managed to provide assistance and alleviate the suffering of over 2.8 million South Sudanese to date in 2016. Save the Children has been active in South Sudan for over 20 years.

ORGANIZATIONAL CONTEXT

On 19 September 2016, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the New York Declaration on Refugees and Migrants, calling for greater burden sharing by the international community to support the world's largest refugee hosting states. The New York Declaration called on UNHCR to develop and initiate the application of the Comprehensive Refugee Response Framework (CRRF) in close coordination with relevant states and in collaboration with relevant UN agencies, applying a multi-stakeholder approach. The objectives of implementing the CRRF are to: (i) ease pressure on host countries, (ii) enhance refugee self-reliance, (iii) expand access to third-country solutions and (iv) support conditions in countries of origin for return in safety and dignity.

UNHCR, together with partners and with the lead of host country governments, is applying the CRRF in a number of roll-out countries in 2017. The aim is to measure initial progress and extract lessons learnt to inform preparations for the Global Compact for Refugees in the 1st half of 2018. The CRRF will, to the extent possible, build on and complement existing strategies, coordination and funding mechanisms, incorporating both humanitarian and development actors. In some countries, a joint CRRF Secretariat led by the government will be setup to coordinate the roll-out of the CRRF, including a mapping exercise and gap analysis among the first steps. The various steps in preparation for the CRRF roll-out at country-level will further inform the priority areas of engagement and indicators for initial progress (first benchmark: end-2017).

The New York Declaration and the CRRF stress the need to engage development actors in a sustainable response for refugees and host communities. The CRRF promotes inclusion of refugees in the delivery of national services, such as education and health, as well as national development plans and programmes, supporting these priorities were possible. The CRRF aims to bring on board partners into the refugee response, including those who have been less involved in refugee response, by mobilising their respective areas of expertise and interest to contribute to a broad-based response. The CRRF also incorporates emergency preparedness and response, as applicable at country-level.

The roll-out of the CRRF requires intensive efforts throughout pilot countries, including consultations with a broad range of internal and external interlocutors at national, regional and district levels ¿ in particular the various government offices which need to be involved as part of the CRRF roll-out.

The Comprehensive Refugee Response (CRR) Officer will be critical in supporting the development and implementation of a comprehensive response at national, regional and district levels. The incumbent will have extensive contacts with both internal and external counterparts and partners. Within UNHCR, the Officer will establish close working relations with the relevant staff working in the community services, protection, program and field sectors. Key external partners will include the CRRF secretariat, national, regional and district authorities, the UN and international organizations, UNHCR implementing and operational partners, International and Local NGOs, development agencies and other actors engaged in humanitarian and development initiatives in the relevant districts. The incumbent will be the key interlocutor with National and District Government Authorities and will have to identify and actively partner with other actors and structures potentially able to contribute to the strategies and solutions for refugees.

The incumbent normally works under the supervision of the Snr CRR Officer or Coordinator or the UNHCR (Regional) Representative or a senior Officer as delegated by the (Regional) Representative.

Background/Rationale for the Assignment

Renk County is located in Upper Nile State, and is situated on the border with Sudan with an estimated population of 62,663, including 5,926 IDPs, according to Medair estimates1. However, population figures are fluid and difficult to determine due to its transitory nature linked to conflict and food insecurity. Renk has experienced multiple bouts of conflict and displacement since the December 2013 conflict. Despite general stability in the area, the security situation remains fragile and there have been ongoing population movements. The population movement includes also the new wave of returnees from different areas (Sudan, Malakal PoC, Bentiu PoC, etc), which intensified after the signature of the peace agreement in August 2018. It is more appropriate to recognize the conflict-affected nature of the whole Renk population, rather than to distinguish between host communities and IDPs, as many host communities have also experienced displacement.
There have been emergency levels of malnutrition in Renk County since 2015. The May 2019 SMART Survey showed high levels of malnutrition, with a global acute malnutrition (GAM) level of 32.1% among the host population and 24.4% among IDPs, the highest among the SMART surveys conducted in 2019 in South Sudan2. The most recent exhaustive mass MUAC screening (September 2018) and continuous surveillance through systematic screening done by Medair highlighted the need for more decentralized coverage of nutrition services, as the coverage rate ranges between 40% and 60% for both cases of severe and moderate acute malnutrition.
Renk’s County Health Department (CHD) and Rural Water Department remain under capacity, without the presence of a consistent secondary level healthcare service provider, and unable to address the WASH needs of the host community or IDPs.
World Vision is the nominated Health Strengthening System partner for the World Bank Project in Renk and runs 10 PHCC/PHCU health facilities in the County, while Medair’s primary health care clinics in Abayok and Wunthou serve the populations of these IDP locations and the surrounding area. An Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) network is currently shifting towards the Boma Heath Initiative (BHI) platform and targets vulnerable populations across the county who lack adequate access to healthcare which provides flexibility within the changeable context of the limited health provision in this area.

Purpose / Tasks and expected results

The implementation of a root causal analysis of acute malnutrition in Renk County is informed by the persistent level of acute malnutrition recorded through yearly SMART surveys in the period 2015-2019, despite the presence of a robust nutrition intervention and the relatively low value, IPC2 (outside the lean season) – IPC3 (in lean season), consistently assigned to Renk County by the IPC classification for acute food insecurity throughout the above mentioned period.
While the classic framework for acute malnutrition sets out the multi-causal nature of under-nutrition and represents a useful guide for building hypotheses around causes of malnutrition and food insecurity for different contexts/livelihood, it does not guide the prescription of context-specific interventions.
Despite the many SMART surveys and FSNMS exercises conducted on malnutrition and food insecurity in Renk County, the specific determinants of persistent under nutrition in the County have been only partially investigated.
Previous research covered mostly key health, nutrition and WASH sectoral indicators in both the Host and the Camp population and was not disaggregated by livelihoods – a very important level of stratification that provides more meaningful inference of causal factors.
The causal analysis will aim at establishing the role and adequacy of ongoing interventions, including the importance of nonfood interventions.
Finally, the integrated analysis will provide a more holistic approach to addressing food and nutrition insecurity and vulnerability, highlighting the need for multi-pronged initiatives and informing prioritization decisions on appropriate responses and preventive measures.

Tasks
Under supervision of Medair’s Nutrition Advisor, in close collaboration with the Nutrition Project Manager of Medair Renk project, the Consultant will accomplish the following tasks in the following phases:
Phase 1. Study inception:

• Partner consultation to include bilateral meetings with key operational stakeholders and technical experts from (MoH, UNICEF, WFP, World Vision, NIWG, NAWG, Nutrition Cluster, FSL Cluster, Health Cluster, WASH Cluster).
• Review multi-sectoral secondary data.
• Conduct review and discussions with different staff involved in programming.
• Develop a comprehensive root causal analysis protocol.
• Preparation of the necessary data collection tools.

Phase 2. Community level data collection and management:

• Collection of data at the community level including a qualitative enquiry depending on the availability of existing secondary data in order to:
  o Understand how communities in Renk perceive under-nutrition
  o Explore respondent perceptions of the causes and consequences of poor food security, health, and care in relation to under-nutrition
  o Understand the practices of caregivers of positive deviant children;
  o Identify seasonal and historical trends in under-nutrition and risk factors and
  o Understand how the communities in Renk prioritises these factors
• Collection and consolidation of qualitative and quantitative data while ensuring compliance with the data quality standards; validity, reliability, precision, integrity, completeness and confidentiality as applicable.
• Data analysis in conformity to the data analysis plan.

Phase 3. Reporting and validation

• Once data collection is complete, the NCA Analyst will synthesize the data to produce a range of outputs, and will use this evidence to rate risk factors based on their relative contribution to under-nutrition and to qualitatively describe the dynamic interrelationships among risk factors and under-nutrition outcomes. The Analyst’s rating triangulates all sources of evidence gathered during the study. During a final workshop, the Analyst will present these results and will lead a sequential, participatory process to build consensus around the plausible causes of under-nutrition. and conduct meeting with operational stakeholders/partners to share the preliminary report;
• Compile the NCA outputs in the form of a report with the following layout outline in line with Link NCA Methodology:
  o Executive summary;
  o Background;
  o Justification;
  o Methods and approaches;
  o Results;
  o Conclusions;
  o Recommendations: in particular, specific and detailed, evidence-based and multi-sectoral recommendations geared towards improving the current humanitarian programming in Renk County
• Plan and conduct a briefing meeting with key stakeholders including donors, MoH, NIWG representatives to share the preliminary report;

Phase 4. Finalization

• Finalize the study report as per internal and external actionable recommendations

Expected results

• The main objective of the study is to assess the factors associated with persistent high levels of under-nutrition in former Renk County to provide information needed to strengthen the holistic approach to address the situation.

Key questions
The study will aim to answer the following questions.

1. What is the prevalence and severity of under-nutrition and food insecurity?
2. What are the underlying factors that result in the persistence of these rates and what are the risk factors among known vulnerable groups?
3. Does the prevalence and severity of under-nutrition and food insecurity vary geographically or by characteristics such as livelihood or other socio-demographic factors?
4. How have the different groups perceived the risks and vulnerabilities and managed/coped with them?
5. How have GAM and food insecurity levels changed over time? Is such change related to historical trends, seasonality, cyclical trends or recent shocks?
6. What are the linkages between morbidity and acute malnutrition/food insecurity?
7. What are the linkages between food insecurity and acute malnutrition specific to the study area?
8. Why are different food security indicators telling different stories about the food security situation?
9. What role does humanitarian response play in the food security and nutrition situation?
10. What are the knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) in relation to WASH-sanitation, childcare, health seeking and feeding practices that influence acute malnutrition in the study area.
11. Are mothers and child caregivers inclined to seek treatment for health problems? How strongly embedded are concepts of preventative practices with regard to diarrhea and other health, hygiene and sanitation practices? Is it possible for women to follow better practices given their limited access to resources, time constraints and insecurity?
12. What role do primary healthcare services and access play in food security and nutrition?
13. What role does the socio-political (border with Sudan) and cultural environment play in food and nutrition security?
14. Based on the causal analysis findings, what recommendations can be made for improving food and nutrition security programming for response and preventive measures?
15. Based on the causal analysis findings, what preventative measures need to be addressed to achieve better child nutrition?
16. What contribution has the changing economic situation and inflation made to the level of acute malnutrition?
