Description
Title: Program Associate, Sudan Project
Reports to: Senior Associate and Country Coordinator
Contract Duration: 15 months
Location: Khartoum, Sudan
ICTJ works to help societies in transition address legacies of massive human rights violations and build civic trust in state institutions as protectors of human rights. In the aftermath of mass atrocity and repression, we assist institutions and civil society groups—the people who are driving and shaping change in their societies—in considering measures to provide truth, accountability, and redress for past abuses. We do this by providing technical expertise and knowledge of relevant comparative experiences in transitional justice from across the globe.
ICTJ’s Sudan project is sponsored by the EC and carried out in partnership with Sudanese Human Rights Monitor (Al Marsad) and in association with the Khatim Adlan Center for Enlightenment and Human Development (KACE) and the Ajaweed Organization for Peace and Reconciliation (AOPR) in El Fashir, Darfur. The project seeks to further civil society’s long-term efforts to promote justice and accountability in Sudan, leading to actionable strategies to deal with past abuses. In a context fraught with ongoing conflict and limited scope for political action, the project will engage primarily with civil society actors in Darfur, Blue Nile, South Kordofan, and Khartoum.
The Program Associate provides substantive and limited administrative support to the program of work (“Sudan project”), under the direction of the Country Coordinator; she/he is also responsive to the needs of grant and financial management, in coordination with Brussels, New York and the Project Finance and Administration Officer.
