About the role
As Programme Officer – Climate Adaptation and Resilience, you will enable communities at risk to live with dignity by empowering them to respond successfully to climate related disasters, risks, and opportunities, and enable them to build thriving resilient livelihoods. We see resilience both as a continual process (steps taken to achieve an end) and an outcome (an end result). We define resilience as a capacity-strengthening process to enhance the ability of individuals and communities to ‘anticipate, organise for and adapt to change”. You will be based in Juba but spend substantial time in the field for the this role. You will play a key role in strengthening the capacity of Christian Aid and partner staff to prepare for, mitigate against and respond to crises, and in ensuring best practice in our response and long term programmes.
You will be responsible for Christian Aid projects being implemented by partners in the field locations in the area as well as assisting in new programme development, fundraising, implementation and monitoring. You will provide effective and timely support to partner organizations, enabling them to respond to emergencies, and ensuring that this is in line with Christian Aid’s country programme strategy.
You will have an external facing role, helping Christian Aid to engage with donors, representing the organization at state coordination / cluster meetings, and working collaboratively with Christian Aid humanitarian, fundraising, and communications and media colleagues in the South Sudan office and the region.
