South Sudan (Republic of): Grants Manager
Organization: Pact
Country: South Sudan (Republic of)
Closing date: 31 Jul 2013
Africa NGO Jobs Vacancies The Grants Manager is responsible for day-to-day management and administration of Pact South Sudan’s sub-grants program funded by USG as well as European and international donors such as OFDA; US State Department; the Governments of Sweden, Norway and Denmark; and other donors. S/he will work closely with Agreement Management (AM) in Pact HQ, Finance Manager, Program Managers and Officers, and implementing partners. S/he will supervise the Grants team. The range of tasks will cover pre-award to close-out as outlined below. In carrying out the role, the Grants Manager will be thorough and meticulous, as well as flexible and pragmatic.
BackgroundSouth Sudan attained its independence on July 9, 2011 marking a culmination to a six-year peace (Comprehensive Peace Agreement) and decades of brutal conflicts with Sudan (1955-1972 and 1983-2005). Since 2005 South Sudan has made important strides in establishing a functioning system of government, establishing a firm foundation for the respect for human rights, tackling political instability and conflict, and expanding development to rural localities. In addition to this, in March 2013 Sudan and South Sudan signed the Matrix Cooperation Agreement and began the implementation of key post-secession arrangements bringing to a tentative close over a year of political and economic stalemate between long-time foes.
Africa NGO Jobs Vacancies Nonetheless massive political, governance, economic and social challenges continue to rack South Sudan. It currently stands as one of the poorest countries in the world, featuring in the bottom 5% of global poverty indices. Internal violence and conflict continues to devastate lives, livelihoods and dignity of communities as a result of persistent acute intra and inter communal fighting that is deeply rooted in notions of marginalization, inequality and lack of security. As a result of the war that re-ignited in South Kordofan and Blue Nile in 2011 between SPLM-N and Khartoum, Unity and Upper Nile States in South Sudan are hosts to over 170,000 refugees with expectations that this will rise in the last half of this year.
Pact’s Work in South SudanPact has been working in Sudan since the late 1990’s supporting peace-building, governance, capacity development, and water and sanitation activities across South Sudan and up until recently, in the former ‘Three Areas’ of Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile and Abyei. The South Sudan Country Program currently implements the following programs: access to justice, peacebuilding (with a focus on conflict mitigation), water and sanitation provision, civic engagement and civil society strengthening, and community driven development. Pact is presently working in eight states out of the ten of South Sudan and has a dedicated focus on working in conflict affected areas of the country.

Country: South Sudan (Republic of)
Closing date: 31 Jul 2013
Africa NGO Jobs Vacancies The Grants Manager is responsible for day-to-day management and administration of Pact South Sudan’s sub-grants program funded by USG as well as European and international donors such as OFDA; US State Department; the Governments of Sweden, Norway and Denmark; and other donors. S/he will work closely with Agreement Management (AM) in Pact HQ, Finance Manager, Program Managers and Officers, and implementing partners. S/he will supervise the Grants team. The range of tasks will cover pre-award to close-out as outlined below. In carrying out the role, the Grants Manager will be thorough and meticulous, as well as flexible and pragmatic.
BackgroundSouth Sudan attained its independence on July 9, 2011 marking a culmination to a six-year peace (Comprehensive Peace Agreement) and decades of brutal conflicts with Sudan (1955-1972 and 1983-2005). Since 2005 South Sudan has made important strides in establishing a functioning system of government, establishing a firm foundation for the respect for human rights, tackling political instability and conflict, and expanding development to rural localities. In addition to this, in March 2013 Sudan and South Sudan signed the Matrix Cooperation Agreement and began the implementation of key post-secession arrangements bringing to a tentative close over a year of political and economic stalemate between long-time foes.
Africa NGO Jobs Vacancies Nonetheless massive political, governance, economic and social challenges continue to rack South Sudan. It currently stands as one of the poorest countries in the world, featuring in the bottom 5% of global poverty indices. Internal violence and conflict continues to devastate lives, livelihoods and dignity of communities as a result of persistent acute intra and inter communal fighting that is deeply rooted in notions of marginalization, inequality and lack of security. As a result of the war that re-ignited in South Kordofan and Blue Nile in 2011 between SPLM-N and Khartoum, Unity and Upper Nile States in South Sudan are hosts to over 170,000 refugees with expectations that this will rise in the last half of this year.
Pact’s Work in South SudanPact has been working in Sudan since the late 1990’s supporting peace-building, governance, capacity development, and water and sanitation activities across South Sudan and up until recently, in the former ‘Three Areas’ of Southern Kordofan, Blue Nile and Abyei.
