Background:

Saferworld is an independent international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives.

We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity. We are a not-for-profit organisation operational in 12 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.

The Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility (CSRF) supports the integration of conflict sensitive principles and practices into donor strategies and donor-funded programming in South Sudan. Funded by the British, Swiss, Dutch, and Canadian donor missions, the programme is implemented by a consortium of NGOs led by Saferworld that includes swisspeace and the REACH Initiative.

Conflict sensitivity is a programming approach that emphasises strong contextual analysis and programmatic flexibility to minimise aid’s negative consequences and maximise its positive impacts. This approach is particularly important in volatile, conflict-affected contexts where inadequate understanding of conflict and political dynamics can lead to donors and implementing partners inadvertently exacerbating the conflict. The CSRF is implementing a five-year contract which runs from January 2019 to December 2023. The Analysis and Outreach Manager will play a critical role in developing the CSRF’s analytical products and its outreach activities, as well as supporting the development of research and the team’s internal analysis of the context. The successful applicant will play a key role in leading external discussions on analysis products and contribute to the CSRF’s efforts to influence aid programming around conflict sensitivity issues that leads to observable changes in how organisations work and how aid is being delivered. The post-holder will be employed by Saferworld.
