Country Representative Sudan Cover Letter At NLRC
NLRC
SudanDuty station: Khartoum or Port Sudan
We are looking for an experienced country representative who can represent NLRC in further developing and maintaining the relationship with SRCS and all other (Movement) Stakeholders in Sudan
including IFRC and ICRC. We expect the Country Representative to take the lead in rolling out and further develop NLRCs’ Sudan strategy aligned to SRCS’s strategy and to take the lead in safeguarding the quality of the portfolio implementation and development. Besides
the Country Representative is overall responsible for the NLRC delegation in Sudan (or temporarily in Nairobi)
including security
financial and HR management of a team of 2-4 international staff and 3 national staff. All of the above has to be done in a complex and challenging context of Sudan
where a conflict broke out since April 2023 and where currently only limited access is possible. As a result the NLRC delegation is currently temporarily working remotely from Nairobi
Kenya
like other SRCS partners. As soon as the situation allows
our delegation is expected to be stationed in Sudan again. Background Sudan is one of the 12 bilateral partnership countries of the Netherlands Red Cross (NLRC) and since 1984 NLRC and the Sudan Red Crescent (SRCS) have been successfully cooperating on several humanitarian actions and initiatives in support of the most vulnerable in Sudan. To further strengthen and build on this existing partnership for the longer-term and with renewed perspectives
the NLRC is engaging the SRCS in a Programmatic Partnership. Via its strategic objective of Community Resilience
NLRC is offering three areas of Expertise: Water (Water management and Water
Sanitation and Hygiene); Data and Digitalization and Financial Sustainability. Since resilience means the ability of communities to recover from disasters
NLRC is also focusing on several phases of the disaster cycle
in particular Disaster Preparedness and Response through Early Warning and Anticipatory Action. NLRC strives to always include cross cutting elements in its projects
like Protection Gender and Inclusion (PGI)
Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA). Currently NLRC is supporting (conflict response and WASH) projects in Gedaref and a(Chronic Crisis) project in Kassala and further developing: Localization programme; a four-year EU project focusing on Food Security and Natural Resources Management and a partnership with ICRC on the 'Water at the Heart of Climate Action' project in 2023/2024. The Sudan Red Crescent is currently adjusting its working modalities to the volatile context of Sudan
by establishing 5 regional hubs to support all 18 branches in Sudan. Due to the conflict
the NLRC delegation is currently working remotely from Nairobi
Kenya
with sporadic travels to Port Sudan. With the rolling out of the Regional Hubs by SRCS throughout Sudan and with the establishment of a permanent SRCS HQ in Port Sudan
and under the condition of security clearance by ICRC and NLRC
we expect that the NLRC delegation can return and work from Sudan in the course of 2024.
