Localization Specialist Jobs Description

Our 2022-24 Global Strategy strongly emphasizes shifting power to children, communities, and local actors as a vital enabler in achieving our Ambition 2030 for children. At Save the Children, we firmly believe that transferring power, including resources, capacity, and ownership, to national and local actors will lead to more timely, suitable, and effective outcomes for children. In line with the SCI global localization policy, Save the Children South Sudan developed a localization strategy for 2023-2024 that advances our localization commitment and ambitions. The focus of our strategic objectives is building equitable partnerships and empower Local/National Actors to access quality humanitarian and developmental funding. Providing comprehensive capacity sharing and institutional development support to local and national partners.
