Who are we?

The Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and Danish Demining Group (DDG) is a humanitarian, non-governmental, non-profit organization founded in 1956 that works in more than 30 countries through-out the world, including South Sudan. DRC/DDG fulfills its mandate by providing direct assistance to conflict-affected populations, including refugees, internally displaced people and host communities. Under its mandate, the organization focuses on emergency humanitarian response, rehabilitation, post-conflict recovery and humanitarian mine-action.

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) in conjunction with Danish Demining Group (DDG) has been operating in South Sudan since 2005 initially concentrating on providing safe and supportive conditions for refugees returning from neighboring countries after the Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed.

In 2012 – 2013, DRC opened its operations in Upper Nile and Unity States to respond to the large influx of refugees coming from Blue Nile State and South Kordofan (Sudan). In addition to the refugee response and since 2014, DRC has been then actively engaged in responding to the humanitarian needs of IDPs affected by the internal conflict through the provision of integrated approaches.

With a total of 430 national staff, 50 expatriate staff and an annual budget of approximately USD 20 million, we are currently implementing multi-sectorial interventions through the provision of humanitarian services focused on CCCM, Protection, SGBV, FSL, Shelter and Infrastructure to both internally displaced persons and refugees across 5 field sites (Ajuong Thok, Bentiu, Maban, Malakal and Aburoc).

The Safety Manager will also facilitate training courses for interagency staff including; personal safety training, guard training, driver training, communications training, and incident management training.

Though Malakal as the duty station, the Safety Manager will be expected to conduct regular assessments in other locations in Upper Nile state, and elsewhere if required.

In addition to the core focus of supporting in the international community in Malakal, the Safety Manager also serves as the DRC safety focal point in Malakal.

5. Provide epidemiological expertise to support or directly implement cross-sectional surveys and community-based assessments in the field projects.
6. Provide epidemiological expertise to improve outbreak detection, investigation and response, through supporting the development and maintenance of surveillance systems (e.g. health facility based, community based, media and social media monitoring) and outbreak investigation, using relevant tools and technologies. This is performed through direct activities in the field, support of field-based epidemiologists or remote support.
7. Provide additional epidemiological capacity for emergencies in the field when required.
8. Provide expertise in a specific epidemiological topic which may include
9. Support the quality of epidemiological work within a portfolio of MSF’s missions, providing timely and robust advice to the Health Adviser, Medical Coordinator and other Specialist Advisors through the Medical Support Team system.
