Life Skills Consultant

Humanitarian
Closing date: 03 Dec 2010
Location: Sudan (the) – Juba
Summary
Purpose: To review the HIV-AIDS in school Life Skills Programme in Southern Sudan and provide guidance on making it more responsive to emerging challenges
Expected fee: At the P-4 level
Location: Juba, Southern Sudan
Duration: Two months
Start Date: January 2011
Reporting to: Chief, Education
Background
Information on HIV epidemic in Southern Sudan is generally limited and none conclusive, making it difficult to provide a uniform and representative picture of prevalence. While prevalance in the whole country is perceived to be low (estimated at 1.4 % , 2008 UNAIDS), geographically-focused surveys indicate that this is an area of major concern. Sentinel surveillance results have shown prevalence ranging from zero % to 11.1%, such as the study in Akobo, Cueibet, Leer, Maridi, Boma, Pacholla, and Tambura. Surveys conducted elsewhere also demonstrate evidence of huge regional differences in prevalence.
The consequences of four decades of war, ongoing conflicts and the emerging incidence of HIV/AIDS (3% prevalence rate ) as well as other health related concerns create a risky environment for children and youth. Many children and youth have missed on the right to an education, and currently only 26% of children in school have enrolled at the right age, hence a high proportion of over age children. Less than 10% of girls’ complete primary education, and teenage pregnancy is estimated at 20%. Children still face exposure to displacement, recruitment, abduction, exposure landmines and gender based violence occasioned by ethnic conflicts.
