The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement consists of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and 192 National Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, where the Swedish Red Cross (SRC) and Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) are two such National Societies. Together this is the world's largest humanitarian network, and its work is guided by its Seven Fundamental Principles. The Red Cross Red Crescent Movements purpose is to help without discrimination those who suffer and thus contribute to peace in the world. SRC has been working together with SRCS in Sudan since the early 1990’s. In 2021, SRC engaged in a partnership with the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA) for a 3-years development programme (2022-2024) called the Sustainable National Societies and Resilient Communities (SNSRC) Programme. Its long-term overall goal is to strengthen individual and community resilience through empowerment, participation and strong National Society branches capable of mobilizing communities and volunteers, enabling local action for sustainable change. The programme will have five different projects that will be implemented with five different National Societies across the world. Three National Societies started implementation in 2022: Palestine Red Crescent Society, Bangladesh Red Crescent Society, and Red Cross of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. In Sudan the project will start with the inception stage during the first half of 2023, followed by eighteen months of project implementation. The project will consist of two main components. One component will focus on community resilience. Resilience activities will be implemented in several communities based on the needs and priorities of the communities themselves. The other component will be focusing on capacity development of SRCS at national and local level in the areas of Protection Gender and Inclusion (PGI), Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA), Volunteer Management, Green Response, Monitoring, Evaluation, Accountability and Learning (MEAL), and fraud and anti-corruption. All project activities are to be carried out through established SRCS structures and will be based on the Fundamental principles, values and policies of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. Therefore, SRCS/SRC is looking for a Programme Support Coordinator to coordinate the Sustainable National Societies and Resilient Communities (SNSRC) project in Sudan and support the SRCS to implement the project, with close support from the SRC Country Representative. |
