Job Description

The revitalized peace process offers new opportunities for South Sudan to realize transformational change and move beyond the cycles of conflict and violence that have propagated widespread aid dependency. Providing immediate and flexible financing to maximize the potential of the current political environment, the South Sudan Multi-Partner Trust Fund for Reconciliation, Stabilization, and Resilience in South Sudan (RSRTF) has been established to enable integrated programs that together lessen the destructive drivers of conflict and develop more peaceful and self-reliant communities.

The Fund pioneers an innovative whole-of-system, area-based programming approach to support comprehensive and tailored approaches to overcome fragility, political instability, and societal disintegration and re-establish transitional and midterm peace and stabilization in its focused areas.

In realizing such efforts, the Fund builds stronger foundations by implementing and consolidating the R-ARCS at the grassroots level and fostering stable political and security environments to pursue increased resilience-focused programming and seize enhanced recovery and development opportunities for the targeted communities.
