A willingness to relocate within North Darfur upon request is required.<br>Duration: 12 months<br>Closing Date: 10 Oct 2026</p><h4>Background</h4><p>GOAL has been operating in Sudan since 1984 and currently implements programs in the North Darfur and South Kordofan states. These programs focus on health, nutrition, food security and livelihoods (FSL), and water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Recently, GOAL successfully completed a health systems strengthening project called HealthPro in North Darfur, specifically in the localities of Kutum, Umbaro, and Serf Umra. The follow-on project, HealthPro-2, commenced in February 2024 and is being implemented in North Darfur, South Kordofan, and White Nile states. Funded by the European Union (EU), the project aims to improve the health conditions of vulnerable populations affected by extreme poverty, food insecurity, and malnutrition in the target states. HealthPro-2 is being implemented in collaboration with the State Ministry of Health (SMOH), the National Health Insurance Fund (NHIF), and the National Medical Supplies Fund (NMSF) across these states. The implementation encompasses various activities at the state, locality, health facility, and community levels. These activities will include a range of health systems strengthening (HSS) and social accountability (SA) activities along the six World Health Organization (WHO) health system building blocks to improve the availability and quality of health services in 16 primary healthcare (PHC) facilities, as well as the referral linkages between the PHCs and the rural hospitals. Additionally, several HSS and SA interventions are carried out at the State and Locality Health Department (LHD) levels, including the strengthening of the governance of the decentralized health system in the target states and localities. Despite the ongoing war in Sudan posing several challenges, GOAL remains committed to delivering humanitarian and development interventions to communities in North Darfur, South Kordofan, and White Nile State. Consequently, GOAL is currently seeking a senior, competent, and dedicated HSS and SA Coordinator to lead the implementation of a wide range of HSS and SA activities in North Darfur State.</p><p> </p><p>The HSS/SA Coordinator will lead the implementation of the HealthPro-2 project strategy and its components related to health system counterparts and stakeholders, as well as community engagement, health promotion, and accountability. The coordinator will work closely with the SMOH, LHDs, NHIF, and NMSF, as well as national NGOs, Community Health Committees (CHCs), and other health system stakeholders in North Darfur, all of which are central to the overall project strategy. GOAL will coordinate this action closely, including monitoring the implementation of various agreements signed by these stakeholders and promoting each stakeholder to fulfil their role within the sustainable health system. The HSS and SA Coordinator will also lead the project actions to build and strengthen the communication and accountability linkages between communities and health system actors. They will also oversee community-based health promotion and livelihood activities implemented by GOAL and national NGO partners. In addition, the coordinator will support the implementation of other humanitarian projects, working in close coordination with the HealthPro Project Coordinator and North Darfur Area Programme Coordinator (APC). Reporting to the HealthPro Project Coordinator, the HSS and SA Coordinator will be responsible for managing the two HSS/SA Managers in Kutum and Umbaro and the DHIS-2/Project Support Manager, as well as the Programme budget for HealthPro-2 and other assigned grants, ensuring adherence to donor and GOAL compliance requirements and policies.</p><h4>Duties and responsibilities</h4><p><strong>Technical & Programme Management </strong></p><p> </p><p><strong>A.
