The person will also be in charge of assessing security situations and en suring engagement with local actors on the ground.

Issues and Specific Challenges:

A new position aimed at correcting the current effect of distance/remoteness of the team and lack of manager level for support. It aims at providing enhanced split of responsibilities between program & support. The EP&R team are most of the time on the field, with often communication challenges so the Head of Base - log admin manager will have to support the launching and deployment of the teams in the field for each deployment while then supporting as back office support to plan intervention in advance to limit the last minute emergencies. #

The holder of the position will be the focal point for Finance, Logistics, HR and security/liaison and will need to coordinate with all departments accordingly. The position will also coordinate with other consortium members, both international and national to streamline processes and share the required information when needed.

Priorities on the 2-3 first months:

Structure the support department

Review, Improvement and Implementation of processes and SoPs (in coordination with the Consortium members)
Implement proper communication channels internally and externally
Train new team member

Capacity development of existing staffs

Security Constraints:

In the field: conditions will vary based on location of deployment, but access to the field is a key condition for activities to happen. Locations are generally remote with curfew at dark hours.

Juba: There is an internal curfew at night for international staffs - different zones are set (7-9-10PM). Curfew can be reduced based on security updates (as has been the case recently)
