07/05/2025SOUTH SUDAN – GRANTS MANAGER (M/F) – JUBA
SOLIDARITÉS INTERNATIONAL (SI) has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, conducting activities in emergency and post emergency context, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas, including refugees/returnees and IDP camp settings.
ABOUT THE MISSION
Food insecurity is one of the highest in the world due to recurring shocks (consecutive years of widespread flooding, conflict-based displacement), and an ongoing protracted macro-economic crisis.
The country also faces cholera outbreaks on a yearly basis, has very limited sanitation coverage and safe water access remain a challenge for most of the population.
On top of these chronic situations, South Sudan has been highly impacted by the war that started in Sudan in April 2023. By end of 2024, more than 1,000,000 people had entered South Sudan, the vast majority entering through the Joda/ Wunthow border point in Renk County, Upper Nile State (northern part of South Sudan).
More recently, resurgence of internal tensions have led to heightened conflict and analysts are worried that the peace conditions offered by the Peace Agreement may not hold.
As a result, 9,3 million are in need of humanitarian assistance as of 2025.
SI sectors of intervention:
The portfolio includes both WASH & FSL activities. SI’s expertise in running emergency WaSH intervention is highly acknowledged by all WaSH actors and donors and has been one of the first responders of the cholera response.
Areas of operation:
SI is present:
In Upper Nile, SI has an office in Malakal and a sub-office in Renk. The field office in Renk has been set-up to support the ongoing response to the Sudan Crisis and to ensure constant monitoring and rapid access to affected communities. SI’s long term presence in Upper Nile enables the organization to ensure proper coordination with other key players on the ground in order to provide a high-quality response and avoid duplication of efforts. The response has focused on cholera since November 2024 while maintaining life saving WASH services for returnees and refugees in the two main transit centres of the country.
SI has recently closed its operations in Unity but is looking at starting interventions in Northern Bahr-El-Ghazal (Aweil): base opening planned for spring 2025.
In addition, SI has a rapid emergency team based in Juba, who is being deployed following Rapid Needs Assessment in flood, epidemic or conflict induced displacement in the country.
Size of operations:
In 2025, the mission’s estimated budget is around USD 5+ million, and there are 70+ employees. This is the result of a scale-down following US funding cut in 2025 that are finally relaunched.

A SALARIED POSITION:
According to experience, starting from EUR 2310 gross per month (2100 base salary + 10% annual leave allowance paid monthly) and a monthly Per Diem of USD 700.
SI also covers accommodation costs and travel expenses between the expatriate’s country of origin and the place of assignment.
Breaks: During the assignment, a system of alternation between work and time off is implemented at the rate of 7 working days every three months (with a USD 850 break allowance, allocated by Sl). To these breaks periods, SI grants one (1) additional rest day per month worked.
Insurance package: Expatriates benefit from an insurance package which refunds all healthcare expenses (including medical and surgical expenses, dental care and ophthalmological expenses, repatriation) and a welfare system including war risks. Essential vaccination and antimalarial treatment costs are refunded.
