SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) is an international humanitarian aid organization that has been providing assistance to populations affected by armed conflict and natural disasters for over 40 years, responding to their basic needs for food, water, and shelter. Particularly committed to combating diseases linked to unsafe water, the leading cause of death worldwide, SI applies its expertise in the areas of access to drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion, as well as in the essential areas of food security and livelihoods. Present in more than 20 countries, teams made of expatriates, national employees, permanent staff at headquarters, and a few volunteers work with professionalism and commitment while respecting local cultures.

Under direct supervision and management of the DCD, the FSL Coordinator leads and coordinates the technical aspect of Solidarités International's FSL portfolio in South Sudan.

This includes direct implementation and support to projects implemented by partners.

The FSL Coordinator provides technical guidance to ensure that all FSL interventions are appropriate, evidence-based, inclusive, and sustainable, while also building the capacity of national teams and ensuring effective coordination with external actors, including government, UN agencies, and FSL Cluster members.

. Difficulty in sustainability and community ownership for proper handover and exit strategy.
. Extensive damage to water and sanitation infrastructure due to flood, conflict, poor construction practices, and lack of maintenance.
