IRC is seeking a governance and rights coordinator for an anticipated USAID funded project designed to promote peace and reconciliation at the community level in South Sudan. The project will incorporate a people-to-people approach and empower people to advance peace, stability, and dialogue through local solutions, civic participation, and increased access to information. The project will enable local actors to build cross-line interdependence and intra-community cohesion to promote peace processes, reconciliation, and peaceful co-existence. Activities will mitigate conflicts from escalating by providing targeted support to peace actors, community-level leaders/groups and influencers, and constituent-responsive authorities who are engaged in peace-building, conflict mitigation, and reconciliation. This job is contingent on the IRC being awarded funding and is anticipated to begin in Summer 2020.
