Programme and Supply Chain Coordinator Jobs in Red Sea State, Sudan at UN Volunteers Arab States
Title: Programme and Supply Chain Coordinator
Company: UN Volunteers Arab States
Location: Red Sea State, Sudan
National UNV Assignment – El Fula, Sudan
Context
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) operates in over 170 countries, supporting efforts to eradicate poverty, reduce inequalities, and strengthen resilience. In Sudan, UNDP serves as a key development integrator, advancing Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through programmes focused on governance, peacebuilding, socio‑economic recovery, climate resilience, and access to energy and essential services. Within the current crisis, UNDP also acts as the interim Principal Recipient (PR) for Global Fund HIV, TB, and COVID‑19 Response Mechanism (C19RM) grants, while supporting malaria interventions. Since April 2023, conflict has severely disrupted health systems, particularly in Kordofan, creating access constraints, displacement, and service delivery gaps. To strengthen field oversight and ensure continuity of critical health services, UNDP is expanding its presence by deploying a Programme and Supply Chain Coordinator based in Al‑Fulah, providing regional coordination across Kordofan states.
