GOAL Programmes Coordinator Jobs in South Sudan

GOAL has been working in Sudan since 1985. Initially GOAL’s activities in southern Sudan took the form of short term emergency interventions, but 1998, with the opening of a permanent base in Twic County, Warrap State, saw a move to longer term interventions.


GOAL South Sudan currently operates programmes in Warrap State, Upper Nile State, and the Abyei Administrative Area.

GOAL South Sudan’s interventions have expanded in recent years to include a more integrated Primary Health Care approach, including, curative primary health care, based on the management of primary health clinics; preventative health care including HIV/AIDS messaging, malaria control and hygiene promotion; nutrition and food security, water and sanitation engineering and clinic construction/rehabilitation.
