Jobs in Kampala, uganda, sudan

We are currently looking for a Country Representative to oversee our team in Sudan.

Clashes between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) erupted in Khartoum on 15 April 2023 and spread quickly across the country. Civilians are fleeing areas affected by fighting in increasing numbers, including to Chad, Egypt and South Sudan. Prices of food, fuel and other basic goods are reportedly skyrocketing, making critical goods unaffordable for many people. Humanitarian organizations are racing to respond to the most pressing needs wherever and whenever feasible.

In this fast-evolving context, IMPACT Initiatives is scaling up its operations in order to inform the emergency response. The first programmatic priorities are to support assessment and analysis coordination, conduct rapid assessments in Sudan and in neighboring countries, as well as critical cash and market research.

Under the management of IMPACT’s Executive Director in Geneva, the Country Representative is responsible for representing IMPACT and managing and developing IMPACT’s programs in Sudan. Within their Unit, the Country Representative leads the IMPACT team to achieve program excellence and ensure the highest level of impact and accountability, while ensuring compliance to IMPACT’s guidelines and standards. The Country Representative contributes to the development and implementation of IMPACT’s country strategy and promotes organizational vision and core values across the mission.
