AET as part of the Street Child group believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic, and structural issues that underpin todays s education crisis. We collaborate with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale-up of programmes to create maximum impact for most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. Since 2008, we have helped over 500,000 children to go to school and learn and we have supported over 33,000 caregivers to set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children.
Street Child’s presence in South Sudan began in 2021 as a result of a merger with the organization Africa Educational Trust (AET). AET has been present in South Sudan for over 25 years and is well respected for their highly innovative education programmes and their technical expertise. We are therefore looking to utilise Street Child’s expertise in EIE, child protection and MHPSS in order to strengthen the current programmes in South Sudan and expand our geographical and thematic presence.
The primary objective of this role is to provide comprehensive support function to the Programmes team at AET. This role will have a specific focus on supporting the implementation and adaptive delivery of ‘Elevating Local Leadership in Emergencies’ (Localization Project) which is funded by USAID.
