2. General context of the project

The situation in South Sudan continues to be very fragile. The collapse of the Government of National Unity in July 2016 precipitated triggers for conflict, insecurity, economic crisis and food insecurity across the country, with the currency in free fall and inflation skyrocketing. In February 2017, the Government of Salva Kiir and United Nations declared famine in parts of the country with nearly 5 million or 40% of the population at risk. Besides civil conflict and drought, other key internal displacement hazards include flooding and health epidemics especially cholera.

South Sudan is a country which has been affected by complex emergencies, both natural and conflict-related, for decades. INTERSOS has been present in South Sudan since 2006 with a country office in Juba and field bases in six States of the country, namely Jonglei, Upper Nile, Unity, Eastern Equatoria, Western Equatoria and Central Equatoria. INTERSOS focuses on implementing emergency response and relief programs in different sectors: Protection, Education, NFI/Shelter and WASH with a special focus on serving the conflict-affected population, which were forced to displace from their homes by the conflict but also the hosting communities, which often are equally vulnerable. The role of the Human Resources Coordinator is fundamental in order to ensure that the management of the resources we have, both national and international, are clearly guided in their rights and duties and that every HR procedure is in place and adopted in a proper and professional manner.
