UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children. To save their lives. To defend their rights. To help them fulfill their potential.
Across 190 countries and territories, we work for every child, everywhere, every day, to build a better world for everyone.
And we never give up.
For every child, Health,
UNICEF works around the world, including in some of the hardest-to-reach places, to help children grow up healthy and happy. UNICEF supports primary health care, especially at the community level, to help achieve universal health coverage. UNICEF helps countries develop resilient health systems that can withstand crises, and provide frontline support in places affected by conflicts, natural disasters, migration, urbanization, and political and economic instability.
As the conflict in Sudan continues, children are bearing the biggest brunt. Millions have fled their homes and are displaced in the country and across the borders. Currently, 50 per cent of the total population – more than 24.7 million people, almost 14 million of whom are children, are in need of humanitarian assistance. Children have endured months of uncertainty, trauma and violence. The current situation in Sudan is a deepening children’s crisis, severely putting at risk the future of the country and heavily affecting the wider region.
UNICEF as a key partner to the Federal Ministry of Health has agreed to accept the temporary role of Principal Recipient (PR) for the Global Funds malaria grant. This grant will ensure that malaria prevention, testing and treatment services are available throughout the Sudan.
Purpose for the job:
Under the direct Supervision of the Chief Health and Nutrition, the function is required to support the overall coordination and management of Global Fund grants throughout the duration of the implementation of this PR-ship. The position will be responsible for developing partnerships with overall programme coordination and developing strong partnerships with FMOH and other government organizations. This includes corresponding with the GF Secretariat and the Local Fund Agent (LFA), developing detailed work plans and budgets, supervising programme implementation, ensuring that partners and activities are well coordinated, and facilitating regular management and coordination meetings. It also involves liaising with state health authorities. Given the current instability and evolving situation in Sudan, the function will be responsible for the formulation and development of strategies, methodologies and new approaches for ensuring and improving programme delivery.
