Project Background

The Agri-skills for Resilient, Inclusive and Sustainable Economies – Green Resilience and Employment Enhancement Network (ARISE-GREEN) is a 48-month, European Union-funded Agri-Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) initiative under the Skills for South Sudan’s Youth in the Agri-Value Chain Sector Action. The project is implemented by a Save the Children (SCI)-led consortium, Hope Africa South Sudan (HASS), and the Christian Agency for Peace and Development (CAPaD) as Co-Applicants. ARISE-GREEN aims to reform and strengthen inclusive, accredited, and climate-responsive Agri-TVET systems in South Sudan. Operating across 7 counties in Eastern Equatoria (Magwi, Torit, Kapoeta South), Central Equatoria (Juba, Terekeka), and Lakes State (Rumbek Central, Yirol East), the project targets 12 public TVET institutions, upgrading 3 into specialized Centres of Excellence. The project will directly support  vulnerable youth (including IDPs, returnees, refugees, women, persons with disabilities, and UNMISS-referred high-risk individuals) by shifting agricultural training from theoretical instruction to practical, market-led Competency-Based Training (CBT) anchored across green agri-value chain nodes. 

Role Purpose

Based at the state/county level (Torit, Magwi Kapoeta), the Agri-TVET Coordinator is responsible for the day-to-day field execution, technical oversight, and localized coordination of all ARISE-GREEN project activities within their assigned hub. This role ensures that TVET institutional capacity building, practical training delivery, private sector engagement, and youth support structures are implemented at the highest quality standard, in strict accordance with the project workplan and donor requirements. The incumbent serves as the primary field-level technical anchor, managing operational relationships with local TVET center administrations, county line authorities, and local private sector networks, ensuring that field insights and progress feed seamlessly into the central project framework.
