JOB CONTEXT:

Sudan was the theatre of a violent civil war between the South (Christian) and the North (Muslim) which lasted for about 50 years and completely destroyed the South’s infrastructures. In 2005, the country was divided in 2 different authorities (one for the North and the other for the South).  In 2011, a referendum took place to decide on the independence of Southern Sudan who voted massively for the Independence.  Relations are still tense and disputes regarding birders and oil revenues are frequent.

After 2 years of relative stability (despite interclanics issues), a political clash raised on December 16, 2013 lead to a current instable period for the country and the government. More than 800,000 people have been displaced inside South Sudan and more than 250,000 people have fled to neighboring countries, especially Kenya, Sudan and Uganda, as a result of the conflict.

Internal displacement, repatriation and intertribal violence in South Sudan have left a negative impact on the population’s mental health. In this context, Handicap International started in 2014 a 48 months Mental Health project that aims to develop different models of interventions to improve the mental health of individuals and communities and to prevent any risk of stigma of people living with mental health problems (discrimination, stigmatization, social exclusion or imprisonment).
