Recently CARE received funding from the European Union-EU to implement a “SAFER” Sudan project, an integrated, multi-sectoral approach that combines strengthening sustainable livelihoods, economic empowerment, access to basic services, promoting adaptive capacity, protection and conflict mitigation in the current context. The main goal is to enhance socio-economic integration of children and young people and protection of the human rights of groups at risk in displacement affected communities in Sudan. In doing so, it will promote greater inclusion of women, youth, people with disabilities, and other marginalized groups in individual project activities, especially in the highly affected areas such as Darfur and Khartoum. The project is implemented in partnership with two INGO and several local partners with CARE International as a consortium leader.
CARE therefore seeks to recruit a protection officer who will be responsible for the implementation of the SAFER Sudan protection related activities as per guidelines and protocols specified in each intervention areas in close coordination with the project manager, engaging the national partners and provide timely quality reports about the achievement of project objectives and targets.
