General Description of the Program

GOAL has been delivering both humanitarian and development programmes in South Sudan since 1985. Currently GOAL South Sudan’s operation is broadly divided into two:

• Humanitarian response largely concentrated in upper Nile State (Baliet, Ulang and Maiwut Counties) since the eruption of conflict in Dec 2013 but also in Agok of Abyei administrative Area where a relief is currently been linked with transition to development. Programming in Baliet is currently on hold and programme is currently serving the beneficiaries of Baliet IDPs displaced to Melut County.
• Transitional and early development programme in Twic County, Warrap State; In both categories, GOAL directly implements a multi-sectoral programme addressing the root causes of poverty and poor health.

GOAL supports health and nutrition services through 67 primary health care facilities and works to increase Ministry of Health (MoH) capacity to deliver services through technical, logistic and management support to the County Health Departments (CHDs) in five counties. GOAL’s WASH programme focuses on both hardware (borehole drilling with in-house team, institutional and market latrine construction) and software (community-based management structures such as Water User Committees and Community-Led Total Sanitation). GOAL’s food security and livelihoods programming has expanded moving beyond seeds and tools provision to the use of Village Savings and Loans (VSL) schemes, this will be developed further to support Farmer Associations and more specific inputs along the value chain based on thorough market assessments thereby not only increasing productivity but also linking farmers with markets. Additionally, GOAL also implements a livelihoods programme in Juba, Twic and Agok with a focus on women’s literacy using the REFLECT model. REFLECT has now been fully integrated within the food security and livelihood programme.

General Description of the Role

The Assistant Country Director Programmes (ACDP) is a member of the GOAL South Sudan Senior Management Team (SMT) with overall responsibility for the strategic development of GOAL’s programmes currently operational in five underserved Counties in South Sudan.

• Oversee the development of donor proposals - logframes, narratives and budgets - based on the Country Strategic Plan 2012-2016 and the field site planning.
• Lead the progressive decentralisation of programme management to field level, empowering the field programme managers to play a lead role in planning, budgeting and monitoring.
• Ensure GOAL is appropriately represented in external coordination mechanisms such as the NGO Health Forum, Clusters (Health, WASH, FSL, Nutrition) in addition to gender based violence and child protection sub-cluster, the sector-specific Technical Working Groups and the NGO Forum’s Policy Working Group and other ad-hoc coordination forums.
• Oversee the development of appropriate M&E and programme management tools and systems and ensure that analysis and recommendations are utilised for programme decision-making.
• Oversee the development of internal mechanisms for institutional learning and documentation.

Background

South Sudan achieved independence from the Republic of Sudan on July 9, 2011 after a referendum in January 2011. The 2005 Comprehensive Peace Agreement between the Khartoum based Administration and the Sudan’s People Liberation Movement (SPLM) bore its fruit and ended Africa's longest-running civil war. After independence, South Sudan embarked on nation building and post-conflict recovery including the establishment of governance systems and institutions, installation of basic infrastructure, establishment of social services including schools and health facilities where they were non-existent; and initiation of programmes to reform the security sector, particularly the South Sudan National Police Service (SSNPS); and revitalization of the economy.

The crisis that broke out in December 2013 reversed many the gains the country had made during the first few post-independence years, disrupted the development process and caused massive population displacement. Women and children were the hardest hit and represent the largest proportion of the displaced population in South Sudan. In late 2015, with support from IGAD, a Peace Agreement was signed by all warring parties. Amongst other provisions, the agreement calls for an immediate cessation of hostillities, formation of an interim government as well as Constitutional and Legal Reforms. Successful implementation of the Peace Agreement is key to the programming environment in South Sudan.

Organizational Context:

Grounded in the vision of equality enshrined in the Charter of the UN, UN Women works for the elimination of discrimination against women and girls; the empowerment of women; and the achievement of equality between women and men as partners and beneficiaries of development, human rights, humanitarian action and peace and security. Placing women's rights at the center of all its efforts, UN women lead and coordinate United Nations System efforts to ensure that commitments on gender equality and gender mainstreaming translate into action throughout the world. It provides strong and coherent leadership in support of Member States' priorities and efforts, building effective partnerships with civil society and other relevant actors.

The Programme is aligned to the UN Women Global Strategy, 2014-2017; The South Sudan Development Plan, 2014 – 2016 and the Interim Cooperation Framework 2016 – 2017 which replaces United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), 2014-2016.

Job Title: Health Coordinator

Country: Khartoum, Sudan (with periodic field travel)

Start Date: August 2016

Reporting to: Assistant Country Director Programmes (ACDP)

GOAL has had a long and successful history of humanitarian operations in North Sudan. Currently GOAL has established programmes across three locations: North Darfur, Kassala and South Kordofan. The main donors for the health programme include: USAID/OFDA, UN SHF, ECHO & Irish Aid.

The current programme focuses on four main sectors: an innovative adult education programme (GOAL Sudan implements approach called REFLECT for women’s literacy and empowerment), water, sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH), nutrition and primary health care, which is the largest programme sector. All interventions are carried out with local partners as appropriate and in the health sector GOAL has well established relations with the Ministry of Health.

Health Activities

GOAL’s health programming traditionally includes three strands of interventions that respond to the many health needs in remote and marginalized areas. GOAL programmes include primary health care, nutrition interventions and community behaviour change programming. Environment, gender and child protection themes cross-cut all programme sectors and activities.

Moving forward, a major focus of our health programming will be increasing GOAL’s commitment to our local partners (Ministry of Health and local NGOs and CBOs) utilising a systems approach. A second and closely related priority will be to define steps toward a long term exit strategy that maximizes ownership and sustainability among both our community and implementing partners. In each area the health programme responds to a unique set of opportunities and constraints that seldom remain constant. It is critical that health programming maintains a longer term vision but remains responsive to the changing context of each field site.

General description of the role

The Health Coordinator will be responsible for providing technical support, management and strategic direction to Area Coordinators and field-based health staff who oversee programme implementation. The health coordinator will assume overall responsibility for health-related reporting requirements and ensure that country wide health data (M&E system) is accurate and consistently recorded.

An experienced analyst, s/he will suggest practical strategies for responding to changes in the operating environment as well as maintaining a focus on longer term objectives, based on regular monitoring efforts and periodic visits to field sites. S/he will represent GOAL at health sector meetings and to other key stakeholders at the national level and on behalf of field based teams.

Key duties

• Provide technical support to field-based health staff with a focus on the following:
