South Sudan - Wash Program Manager (Opening Program) - Western Bahr EL Ghazal

About The Mission

Posted on: 31/07/2017 Desired start date**: august 2017** Duration of the mission**: 6 months** Location: Raja (Western Bahr El Ghazal)

SI has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, and has developed activities in emergency and post emergency contexts, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Its expertise in running emergency WaSH intervention is highly acknowledged by all WaSH actors and donors present in the country.

We currently operate an Emergency Preparedness and Response program throughout the entire country, as well as Wash activities in the PoC in Malakal, and emergency Wash assistance in informal settlements in Upper West Nile state.

The mission strategy is to continue along with our focus on WASH/EPR interventions and to develop stronger responses to food security and livelihood needs.

The mission:

The mission coordination is based in Juba (5 expatriates) as well as the EPR team (4 expatriates). The Malakal base (4 expatriates) is also supporting a sub-base in Aburoc (1 expatriate). The current Head of mission has stabilized the expatriate turnover on the mission with more experienced coordinators and the team benefits from a lasting positive dynamic.

The program:

SI is launching a new project in partnership with the INGO ALIMA and will cover the Wash activities impacting maltnutrition in the framework of this multisectorial project that targets IDPs and host communities of the area.

About the Job

The responsibilities:

The Program manager is responsible for the good implementation of the program. He is the line manager of the operational program teams and works in collaboration with ALIMA, along with the logistics and administrative department to ensure that the activities are delivered in a timely fashion and complying with our quality standards. His responsibilities include:

Ensure the timely implementation of activities and that SI's quality standards are met.

Propose adjustments or developments to maintain project relevance when necessary.

Coordinate activities with the program team and other departments of SI and INGOs in the area of intervention.

Supervise the Activity Managers and Team Leaders.

Participate in strategic planning.

Prepare timely and accurate reporting to SI for donors and internal data collection and monitoring

The main stakes:

This will be a program launching: there will be human resources

challenges to overcome to ensure a smooth start and a swift implementation of SI procedures.

This context is particularly unstable and requires a strong flexibility in order to adapt the program to emerging constraints.

This program is implemented with a partner and requires that the PM be able to work with an external partner.
