Saferworld is an independent international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis. We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity. We work in 12 countries across Asia, Africa and the Middle East.
Background: Saferworld is an independent international organisation working to prevent violent conflict and build safer lives. We work with people affected by conflict to improve their safety and sense of security, and conduct wider research and analysis. We use this evidence and learning to improve local, national and international policies and practices that can help build lasting peace. Our priority is people – we believe in a world where everyone can lead peaceful, fulfilling lives, free from fear and insecurity. We are a not-for-profit organisation operational in 12 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East.
Saferworld has been working in Africa since 1997, with a primary focus upon East Africa and the Horn region. We have well-established programmes in Kenya, Uganda, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan. In addition, Saferworld supports regional and international conflict prevention and security processes. Saferworld headquarters are in London, with offices currently in Nairobi, Kampala, Mogadishu, Hargeisa and Juba.
Our organisational integrity is derived from the values and principles that underpin and guide our work. Saferworld has been engaged with Sudan issues in different forms since 2011. In partnership we work with community groups to undertake research to address a range of issues to help community members feel safer.
Through partners, Saferworld implements projects in Khartoum, Darfur (North, Central and South), Eastern Sudan (Red Sea, Kassala and Gederif), South Kordofan, and Blue Nile States. The programmes support communities and civil society organisations by enhancing their capacity on gender and conflict sensitivity. We help provide space and opportunities for civil society to come together to engage in meaningful dialogues for peace and democracy. Our work also increases understanding within the regional and international policy community (such as with the African Union) of the complex challenges faced by Sudanese citizens to help ensure their projects and approaches to Sudan encourage peace rather than exacerbate conflict.
The Project Coordinator position will be based in Kassala. The Project Coordinator will contribute to the implementation of Saferworld’s Sudan’s Addressing Root Causes (ARC) of conflict programme. The programme aims at bridging the divides between groups (including refugees, displaced persons and host communities) through inclusive local-level action for peace and conflict transformation.- to address the political and socio-economic root causes of armed conflict and instability in Sudan.
Job purpose: The Project Coordinator will contribute to the implementation of Saferworld’s Sudan programme, conducting tasks such as actor mapping, support to research, capacity-building support to local partners, project development, engagement with partners as well as oversight of local grants and micro grants managed by local partners. |
