UN Protection Officer Jobs in South Sudan

Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is a dynamic, international non-governmental organization.

We work to reduce violence and protect civilians in countries affected by violent conflict and its aftermath.

NP implements programming through the deployment of civilian protection teams to the field.

South Sudan’s civil war is nearing its second anniversary.

The war has forced 2.27 million people to flee their homes and resulted in the loss of thousands of lives.

The people of South Sudan are facing a humanitarian emergency and are in the midst of a conflict that is often described first and foremost as a protection crisis

Hundreds of thousands of people have been separated from their families and lost their homes, livelihoods and access to basic services like food, medical care and education.

NP is continuing to scale up to meet the growing needs. In South Sudan, NP has a mobile protection response team and 10 field teams providing emergency protection programme for communities affected by violent conflict.

Programming is founded on unarmed civilian protection and is thematically focused on protection in displacement, child protection, gender based violence protection and inter-communal violence reduction.
