Head of Delegation - Juba, South Sudan

Présentation de la Croix Rouge CONTEXTE DU POSTE

1/ FRC in Sudan: The French Red Cross (FRC) is present in Northern Sudan since September 2010. Since then, FRC has been carrying out an integrated health program in Blue Nile State, within the framework of a bilateral cooperation with the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS).

2/ A new political context: The Republic of Sudan, torn apart by two civil wars that lasted over 20 years each, is a deeply prone to humanitarian crisis country. Poverty and population displacements, food and water shortages are recurrent and all due to the successive disruptions of civil war and drought, as well as to the difficulty to provide public services.

The country is about to experience a new political organization, separating the North (mainly muslim) and the South (mainly Christian and animist). Indeed as a result of the Navaisha Agreement (also known as the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA)) signed by the two parties in 2005, an independence referendum was held from 9-15 January 2011 that is most likely tolead to the partition of the country. On July 9th 2011, Southern Sudan will officially become the 194th state in the world and the 54th state in Africa. A new national society is likely to be created.

3/ The projects: (subjected to funding) Identified water needs: The only water source in Malakal is the Nile River, joined by the Sobat River coming from the Ethiopians highlands, giving highly turbid waters. The Northern and South-Western areas of the Upper Nile State are known as saline areas and most of the drilling attempts were unsuccessful boreholes. The water treatment infrastructures and water filters installed in the past are still insufficient, as they do not allow to supply drinkable water to the entire population. The distance the far-away living population has to walk to fetch water is also a problem.

Another challenge relies in hygiene promotion, which has already been initiated by SRCS volunteers to improve women’s awareness to hygiene and water born diseases. Identified Sanitation needs: The sanitation situation in Malakal area is extremely poor. Very few people have access to sanitary means (only 7% at the state level according to the 2006 Sudan Household Health Survey). And numbers of taboos about the use of latrines undermine the health and hygiene local conditions. In addition, the need of solid construction material makes the price of a latrine expensive and unaffordable for most of the population. Most of the very few households’ latrines were built with the support of NGOs (ADRA, IRD), which have now closed their programs.

Identified organisational needs: The national society of Southern Sudan and its staff will need increased capacity building on project cycle management, reporting and needs assessment As well as logistics, administrative and finance management

The Malakal Project: Throughout its programs, FRC strives to provide the well-being and living conditions of vulnerable populations the project aims at improving the sanitary conditions and the hygiene habits of the population in Malakal, through the building and rehabilitation of 80 public latrines, the introduction of sedimentation and SODIS methods to increase water quality as well as awareness sessions on hygiene and basic health. The activities will be partly based on a reinforced network of volunteers from the national society, as capacity building to make the local branch a key actor in terms of emergency preparedness and response is an objective of the project.
