WASH Cluster Co-coordinator South Sudan (open for national Internal NRC staff only)

• NRC works to protect the rights of displaced and vulnerable people during crisis and meet immediate humanitarian needs, prevent further displacement, and contribute to durable solutions. Through our mobile emergency response capacity, we provide lifesaving multisectoral assistance to crisis affected populations in hard-to-reach areas across South Sudan. In areas throughout the country where we have established operations, we ensure that displacement affected people are safe, can exercise their rights, access quality services and protection and secure durable solutions. To that end, we contribute to safe and stable environment needed to allow for return and reintegration or integration of displaced communities. We do this through advocacy, coordination, and collaboration, as well as integrated and multi-sectoral long-term interventions.
• In South Sudan, NRC established in 2004 and provides humanitarian assistance and supports durable solutions with integrated and multi-sectoral long-term interventions in six core competencies: Information Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA), Protection from Violence, Education, WASH and Shelter. In line with NRC global direction, our WASH and Shelter programmes are transitioning from mainly humanitarian response to support communities with more sustainable water systems and sanitation facilities in response to securing lasting solutions. Also, NRC has the ambition to grow its urban programming to facilitate durable solutions for the swelling urban population in South Sudan.
• The overall objective is to ensure the WASH Cluster is functionally achieving effective humanitarian coordination in the field of WASH response in South Sudan. The specific objective of the agreement is to ensure an active involvement of NGO WASH stakeholders in Cluster activities to ensure a coherent and effective response by WASH partners in a strategic manner to a humanitarian crisis.
