Partnership and Programme Development Coordinator
Sudan (the) - Juba with regular travel to GOAL’s areas of operation in South Sudan
Overall Description of the Role:
The Partnership and Programme Development (PPD) Coordinator is a new position within GOAL South Sudan’s Programmes Team with overall responsibility for the development of GOAL’s work with partners in three underserved locations in South Sudan and in the capital city of Juba. The PPD Coordinator also takes a lead role in tracking the changing funding mechanisms present in South Sudan and advising GOAL SS on funding opportunities relevant to GOAL’s work. The role also focuses on looking at opportunities for programme development including possible new programmatic areas as well as building the capacity of current partners (local CBOs and the decentralised MoH at County level) and the initiation of new partnerships, as appropriate to the context in GOAL’s operational areas. The role will include partner mapping, assessment, development of funding proposals and support to partners on all stages of project cycle management.
General Description of the Programme:
Throughout the 1990s, GOAL implemented a series of emergency response interventions in South Sudan from a Nairobi base, alongside significant programming in the north of Sudan. In 1998, GOAL intervened in Twic County, Warrap State with a health and nutrition programme. In 2000, GOAL broadened its area of geographical coverage to include the heavily marginalised area of Kurmuk County, Southern Blue Nile. In July 2006, GOAL South Sudan took over the management of the PHC programming in the Sobat Corridor, Upper Nile. GOAL currently supports 31 health facilities across these locations (11 in Twic County, 14 in Kurmuk County and 6 in Sobat). In addition, GOAL supports WASH, LLH, adult education and nutrition programmes. In the last few years GOAL has begun more systematic support to the MoH decentralisation process at County level. GOAL now wishes to focus on developing its work with partners in recognition of the changing context in South Sudan. GOAL’s ultimate aim is to build the capacity of national staff and promoting self-reliance in the communities in which it works. GOAL’s donors in South Sudan currently include: Irish Aid, USAID, OFDA, DFID, UNCHF and ECHO.
