  1. Job Location: Nyala, South Darfur, Sudan, with frequent field visits

  2. Closing Date: 2011-08-28

  3. Project Description:
    Johanniter has been working in South Darfur since 2004, implementing health projects in close cooperation with the MoH with a focus on primary health care and rehabilitation and/or construction of PHC structures as well as control of disease outbreaks and health education. Johanniter´s country office is located in Nyala, from where all our activities in Sudan are coordinated. One support office works from Khartoum. A South Darfur sub-office is located in Ed Al Fursan. Johanniter is currently preparing the implementation of Nutrition, Health, and WASH programs with synergic effect. Thereby Johanniter will work closely with local authorities, HAC, SMoH WES, UN partners and most important Community Development Committees to ensure sustainability of projects and maintenance of services to population. The area (Ed Al Fursan, Katilya and Kubum localities) is arid and prone to drought, and during rainy season hardly accessible by road as well as prone to water borne disease outbreaks. It is transit route for nomadic population during 5 months of the year, often causing clashes due to control, access and usage of natural resources. There are mainly pastoral and agriculture based livelihoods, but the demography is changing, more and more people are moving to centers for daily work, and pastoralists are becoming less nomadic, some totally losing their traditional livelihood. WASH activities, in general, include water supply, water quality control, sanitation and public health/hygiene promotion with an aim to improve health as well as to support livelihoods. At first, activities will be limited to hand pumps rehabilitation, tanks and trough construction, integrated water resource management and capacity building, but there will be opportunity to develop the program further and wider from affiliated health care facilities. The WASH strategy will focus on water supply first, to fully cover needs in a small area and then move to cover other areas. Due to limited resources and limited presence of construction companies, all water supply should be designed to be sustainable, implemented in accord with WES strategic plans and with the participation of the community and local authorities. WASH programs will start, generally focusing on Community Health Committees first, and then branching out as to suit the needs of the communities in such things as latrines and sanitation structures in IDP/returnee setting and schools. When feasable, health facilities where Nutrition programs are active should be prioritized to cover WASH needs. Programming and targeting must be done in collaboration with food security and livelihood programs (carried on by other INGOS/NGOs), as they depend on water as well. Integration between programs and with the government should be prioritized.
