Returns and Reintegration Manager

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

BACKGROUND: Over 20 years of brutal civil conflict have left Sudan devastated. A protracted, complex conflict rooted in disputes over religion, ethnicity, resources, governance and self-determination has resulted in widespread destruction of community infrastructure, mass displacement, and gross abuse of human rights. As a result, Sudan is one of the poorest countries in the world, with a GNP per capita of less that $300 and life expectancy of 56 years. With the signing of the Comprehensive Agreement on 9 January 2005, emergency interventions are slowly making way to post-conflict development activities, although the environment remains fragile with testing operational challenges. Given the relative peace, voluntary and organized returns are occurring; but, reintegration and recovery are proving difficult for communities, local authorities and international actors to manage.

Starting in October 2010 the Government of Southern Sudan started to encourage, and facilitate, the large scale return of Southern Sudanese from parts of north Sudan. Given the poor state of service delivery already existing in South Sudan, these returns have placed an increased burden on an already fragile primary healthcare system. IRC, in partnership with Management Sciences for Health (MSH), is proposing to improve the capacity of the Ministry of Health to delivery primary health services in the two highest counties of return in Unity and Northern Bahr el Ghazal States. This program will focus on the physical improvement of targeted health facilities in areas of high return and the corresponding training to health officials and health delivery staff to improve overall management and quality of care.

This is a consortium project with MSH in which IRC is the lead agency providing overall management and direction and directly overseeing the physical rehabilitation aspects of the program. MSH will implement the training elements of the proposed project under the guidance of IRC.

The Returns and Reintegration Program Manager will report to the Health Coordinator and ensure the successful implementation of the program.
