Outraged by the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.
Handicap International is changing his name and becomes « Humanity & Inclusion ». HI, Humanity & Inclusion is an independent and impartial aid and development organisation with no religious or political affiliations operating in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

Present in more than 55 countries, HI is composed of 2 operational directions:
- The Direction of Humanitarian Action
- The Direction of Development Action
JOB CONTEXT :
After a referendum following 50 years of conflict with the North, South Sudan became officially independent in July 2011. From then, the country has engaged in a long period of construction, expected to last for the next 50 years. This period has been violently stopped since December 2013 with an internal political and ethnic conflict creating massive displacement of populations inside and outside the country. And lastly in July 2016, a new outbreak of violence broke out and caused a wave of displacements. The country is now facing, added to violent clashes and wars, a major economic crisis driving it to a close collapse. The authorities are struggling to insure basic funding of these services with major corruption and bad governance. The country is highly dependent on external supplies of goods and services as well as the intervention and support of the humanitarian sector.
The context in South Sudan is characterized by a continuum between emergency and development with regular chronic crisis, periods of stability and period of massive emergency. HI present since 2006 has shifted in 2009 from the emergency department to the development one but remains active in both operational interventions.
At July 2018, the program includes:
- An emergency component with
Protection program in Juba PoC and Urban Juba camps, psychosocial support and targeted assistance to persons with specific needs
An emergency flying team all over the country
A new Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) and inclusion project in Yei, Juba, Torit, and Yambio that will be launched in August 2018
- A long-term component with a Victim Assistance project based in Juba and Yei county including rehabilitation and livelihood activities
YOUR MISSION:
The aim of the program is:
- To provide life-saving support to the men, women, and children of South Sudan and enable them to cope with the onset of new shocks.
- To ensure the proper collection, monitoring, and use of data for better program implementation.
These two components work side-by-side to ensure that quality programming reaches those that need it the most.
The project seeks to improve the resilience of the most vulnerable individuals, families and communities through access to community based Mental Health and Psychosocial Support interventions and inclusive humanitarian assistance in South Sudan. It will do this by addressing two urgent needs in South Sudan: the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) needs of local communities, including Gender Based Violence (GBV) survivors and the needs of humanitarian stakeholders to become more disability inclusive in the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of their humanitarian strategies and programs.
Under the responsibility of the Project Manager and in close cooperation with the rest of the HI team and related technical advisors, the Deputy Project Manager will have overall responsibility for delivering the MHPSS component of the project. His main responsibilities will be:
- Effective, timely, and quality implementation of the project using a result-based approach
- Effective supervision and management of the teams
- Technical quality of the project and the capitalization of experiences
- Timely Reporting
- Representation
YOUR PROFILE :

- You demonstrate proven Monitoring Evaluation & Learning skills and team and project management skills
- Excellent communication skills in English

CHARACTERISTICS OF THE POSITION:

Internal flights connect Juba with major cities and key sites across the country for development and humanitarian activities. The rainy season severely limits movement from May/June to September/October, including internal flights, and severely hampers most road connections.

Each staff has his/her own self-contained room with Air Conditioner and bathroom. The living conditions are basic but acceptable (generator, water tanks, Internet, small gym, TV).
