Plan emergency teams are providing vital aid to thousands of people who have been forced to flee violence in South Sudan. More than 1 million children and adults have been displaced since fighting broke out between government and rebel troops in December 2013 and Plan recognizes that the geographical context and recent history have left the communities of South Sudan highly vulnerable to emergencies from political and inter-ethnic conflicts, influx of returnees, food insecurity, long dry spells and floods.

Plan has already supported thousands of affected families with food and nutrition, clean water, hygiene and sanitation – but much more needs to be done.

Plan has undertaken a needs assessment and developed a response plan in four states - Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatorial, Lakes and Jonglei focussing on conflict affected, returnees and marginalised and vulnerable groups in addressing their priority needs.

As a representative of Plan in South Sudan, you will create effective networks and partnerships with likeminded organisations for overall enhancement of Plan’s response and the profile of the organisation.

With demonstrable experience designing and leading large scale emergency responses, knowledge of the key programme areas and a sound understanding of integrated development issues and critical analysis of child poverty you will bring passion, determination, and fresh thinking to our work, with the aim of expanding both our reach and our impact, and making change work for millions of children.

I. ACTED

ACTED est une association de solidarité internationale française qui a pour vocation de soutenir les populations vulnérables de par le monde et de les accompagner dans la construction d’un futur meilleur en apportant une réponse adaptée à des besoins précis depuis 1993. ACTED vient en aide aux populations touchées par les crises grâce à une approche à la fois globale et locale, multidisciplinaire et adaptée à chaque contexte. Ses équipes (3300 personnes) interviennent dans 34 pays afin de faire face aux situations d’urgence, pour soutenir les projets de réhabilitations et accompagner les dynamiques de développement.

Pour ce faire nos équipes sur le terrain interviennent sur plus de 340 projets dans les secteurs suivants : aide humanitaire d’urgence, sécurité alimentaire, promotion de la santé, éducation et formation, développement économique, microfinance, soutien institutionnel et dialogue régional, promotion culturelle.

Forte de son expérience au plus près des besoins et des situations auprès des communautés vulnérables à travers le monde, ACTED contribue aujourd’hui à l’agenda international en faveur des Objectifs du Millénaire pour le Développement, avec des campagnes de plaidoyer en France et en Europe.

II. Profil pays

Capital Office : N’Djamena

National Staff : 166

International Staff : 10

Areas : 4 (Batha, Abéché, Goz Beida, Goré)

On-going programmes : 18

Budget : 4.1 M €

ACTED est présente au Tchad depuis 2004 avec des interventions ciblées en matière de distribution, de protection de l’environnement et d’amélioration des infrastructures communautaires.

En 2011, ACTED au Tchad a poursuivi son objectif de soutien à la transition de l’urgence vers le développement. Ainsi, si des programmes d’urgence ont du être mis en œuvre pour répondre aux besoins des populations affectées par la crise nutritionnelle au Sahel, mais aussi à ceux de réfugiés des pays voisins, ou encore à ceux des travailleurs migrants retournés de Libye, la transition vers le développement a pu se poursuivre sur nos quatre zones d’intervention au centre, au nord, à l’est et au sud du pays, avec la mise en place de stratégies de sortie de l’urgence axées sur une transition fluide avec les institutions nationales.

En 2013 et 2014, ACTED poursuit sa stratégie visant à s’éloigner de l’urgence et de la post-urgence afin de laisser place à une phase d’accompagnement d’un développement durable. En réponse à la crise alimentaire dans la bande sahélienne, ACTED renforce ses interventions d’urgence dans les régions du Lac et du Batha afin d’assurer que les populations les plus vulnérables puissent accéder à une alimentation convenable pendant la période de soudure.
