BACKGROUND
If you are a committed, creative professional and are passionate about making a lasting difference for children, the world’s leading children’s rights organization would like to hear from you.
For 70 years, UNICEF has been working on the ground in 190 countries and territories to promote children’s survival, protection and development. The world’s largest provider of vaccines for developing countries, UNICEF supports child health and nutrition, good water and sanitation, quality basic education for all boys and girls, and the protection of children from violence, exploitation, and AIDS. UNICEF is funded entirely by the voluntary contributions of individuals, businesses, foundations and governments.
UNICEF South Sudan Country Office (SSCO) will be undertaking a complex health project to support the health system within two former states of South Sudan over a 2-year period.  There are many logistical complexities in undertaking this project that requires a dedicated team of logistics professionals to manage the supply chain aspects of the project. The project entails the delivery of cost-effective, high impact essential health services to the general population living in the former states of Upper Nile and Jonglei; both states have experienced the most longstanding conflict in the country. The main strategy is to support an agile mix of static primary health care services that is complimented by regular outreach (especially during the dry season) and community-based health care to increase and expand equitable coverage and access, especially for mobile or hard to reach populations with intermittent periods of stability and weather-constrained access. The target population is approximately 1.8 million people, including 85,000 pregnant women; 82,000 children under one; and 382,000 children under five. The package of services and scope of activities to be supported includes: child health; maternal and neonatal health; basic and comprehensive emergency obstetric and newborn care; sexual and gender-based violence services; as well as emergency preparedness and response. Underpinning these will be the procurement and distribution of essential medicines and supplies.
