Since 2021, WFP South Sudan has led a consortium of partners to implement a community violence reduction programme in Jonglei State and the Greater Pibor Administrative Area (GPAA). After a successful conclusion of the first phase (January 2021 – December 2022), the programme has now been approved for a second phase (April 2023 – March 2025).
To that end, WFP, in collaboration with Peace Canal, Nonviolent Peaceforce, Save the Children, VSF-Germany, IOM, UNHCR, and UNMISS have joined hands as a consortium under the name of Partnership for Peace [Door | Ganon | Mal]. The programme, which is based on lessons learned from the first phase, was launched in April 2023, and aims to strengthen the foundation for peaceful, stable, and resilient communities in the border areas between Jonglei State and the GPAA. WFP and partners have established an Area Reference Group (ARG) to identify, promote, and facilitate effective, coordinated, and strategically sequenced interventions by sharing information, coordinating technical and financial assistance, and creating vertical and horizontal linkages with government institutions and non-state actors.
WFP as the lead agency for the project as well as for the ARG, the Consultant will establish a project management team comprised of a Project Coordinator, an information management officer (IMO) and a monitoring, evaluation, analysis, and learning (MEAL) officer. The IMO and MEAL officers will report directly to the Project Coordinator, with technical reporting lines to relevant units, including Programme and MEAL, and will work collaboratively with all members of the consortium, and will support the effective management of the ARG.
