Context:
The Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster Coordinator ensures a multi-sectoral response to assist and protect displaced populations in communal settings (collective centres, camps, transit/reception centres, spontaneous and informal sites, etc.), where such are created or envisaged. However, as camps and communal settlements are temporary solutions established only as a last resort whilst all efforts are made to find more durable solutions, the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster Coordinator does not advocate for the creation of camps, but improves the management of any relevant communal setting. Additionally, displaced populations often settle outside of communal settings with host families or in rented premises in rural or urban areas and some aspects of the management and coordination of their access to protection and assistance might fall under the purview of the CCCM Cluster Coordinator.
Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission, and the direct supervision of the Head of Operations, the successful candidate will be responsible to lead the IOM co-leadership of the CCCM Cluster in South Sudan, in coordination with United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and Agency for Technical Cooperation and Development (ACTED).
