Saferworld Better Aid Learning Adviser Jobs in Uganda
Background:The Conflict Sensitivity Resource Facility (CSRF), funded by the British, Swiss, Dutch, and Canadian donor missions, supports the integration of conflict sensitive principles and practices into donor strategies and donor funded
programming in South Sudan.
Conflict sensitivity is a programming approach that emphasises strong contextual analysis and programmatic flexibility to minimise aid’s negative consequences and maximise its
positive impacts.
Conflict sensitivity is particularly important in volatile, conflict-affected contexts where
inadequate understanding of conflict and political dynamics can lead to donors and implementing partners inadvertently exacerbating the conflict.

Work closely with a range of donors, aid organisations, humanitarian clusters, academics, and other stakeholders in South Sudan to better understand how to improve learning, apply learning, and build institutional memory within the aid sector;
Provide advice, guidance, and mentorship to CSRF partners (formally and informally) on
organisational learning and adaptation;
Collaborate with the CSRF’s Capacity Building team during institutional assessments of donors and aid organisations to build understanding of current challenges and opportunities for learning and adaptation;

Lead on the CSRF’s internal learning and evaluation processes and relevant reporting;
