The Oxfam Confederation is made up of 17 Oxfam affiliates (including Oxfam GB) working across 92 countries. In 2009, all Oxfam affiliates decided to work more closely together as a global movement for change. Oxfam GB has been working in South Sudan since 1983. We aim to overcome poverty and inequality through the most effective, appropriate and enduring solutions. Oxfam’s institutional mandate is therefore threefold; development work, emergency humanitarian relief work & policy advocacy work. Oxfam South Sudan is currently implementing humanitarian response programs and Development Programmes in different parts of the country.

You will support MEAL processes and activities to integrate gender and protection, and to gather lessons relating to these areas. Additionally, you will be expected to actively participate in Oxfam’s internal Peer Protection Group and contribute to Oxfam’s global strategic thinking on protection.
