TYPE OF CONTRACT: International Consultant (CST Level 1)
UNIT/DIVISION: Management
DUTY STATION (City, Country): Juba, South Sudan
DURATION: 11 months (renewable based on performance and funding)
BACKGROUND:
Country Context:
South Sudan, the world’s youngest nation, continues to struggle to overcome a multitude of challenges. Conflict, climate shocks, economic instability and the ongoing war in neighboring Sudan have created a perfect storm of suffering, leaving families unable to access enough food.
A total of 7.56 million people – over half the population – are estimated to be facing Crisis or worse levels of food insecurity during the April–July 2026 lean season, with hunger reaching near-record levels.
The situation is particularly dire for children, with over 2.1 million aged under 5 acutely malnourished. A total of 2.8 million children is out of school – more than half of them girls. Female literacy remains alarmingly low at just 29 percent, compared to 40 percent for men – among the lowest rates in the world.
Food assistance remains essential to averting a humanitarian catastrophe, but it must also serve as a bridge to long-term recovery. WFP is working with local civil society and empowering communities – especially women and girls – to build resilience, support peacebuilding and foster self-reliance in the face of relentless adversity.
