Programme Manager Sudan (Kenya base)

The Opportunity
Plan International Sudan aims to respond effectively, rapidly, and at significant scale to the core humanitarian needs of children and their families affected by the conflict between the armed forces in Sudan. Specifically, Plan International Sudan aims to minimize disruption to formal and non-formal education systems and to restore formal education services; strengthen the proactive environment for children and their families including age and gender appropriate services during and after disasters; create opportunities for and build capacity of young people affected by the armed conflict to generate income and to improve their life skills; and to become recognized actor in both in linking related community based interventions to national coordination and interagency mechanisms where Plan International Sudan will gradually take on leadership functions.
The conflict left 25 million people in need of humanitarian assistance; 14 million of these are children. The conflict has resulted in an increased risk of civilians’ protection, especially for children, girls and women. It is crucial to acknowledge that children are subjected to various types of rights violations and violence, which fall under the six grave violations category as there have been allegations of over 3,150 severe child rights violations and 6.7 million estimated to be at risk of gender-based violence, including: killing, maiming of children and torture by direct or indirect actions; recruitment and use of children by the armed groups in the different conflict zones. According to some estimates over 70 % of all Health facilities across Sudan are no longer functional. Schools the countries have been occupied by IDPs. Plan International like other humanitarian actors is particularly concerned about the prolonged closure of the schools thereby denying more than 19 million children access to education, a basic right for children, 7 million of whom were already out of school even before the conflict started.
This position will support the coordination and implementation of the Sudan crisis multi-country Response Programme Strategy in close collaboration with the 7 concerned Plan International country offices (COs), the Regional Office in Middle East, East and Southern Africa (MEESA), and various National Organizations (NOs) within the Federation of Plan International.
