The Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) was established by a resolution of the Council of Ministers in 1956, in line with international legislation requiring the creation of national societies in independent states, as stipulated by the Four Geneva Conventions of 1949.

The national society delivers a wide range of humanitarian services through its network of volunteers across all Sudanese states, operating strictly in accordance with the seven Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. These principles, particularly independence, neutrality, and impartiality ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches those in need without discrimination and free from any political, religious, ethnic, or sectarian agendas.

SRCS also implements numerous joint activities in collaboration with various ministries and relevant stakeholders and operates through 18 branches, ensuring coverage across the entire country.

The Planning, Monitoring, Evaluation, and Reporting (PMER)/Information Management (IM) Officer will be responsible for the overall management and coordination of SRCS interventions nationwide. This includes overseeing branch-level activities, monitoring implementation, and supporting evaluation processes to promote learning and strengthen accountability, in close collaboration with the Head of PMER.
