TGH background
“A player in sustainable, shared solidarity”.
Founded in 1994, TGH is a French association for international solidarity based in Lyon. It designs and implements emergency, rehabilitation and development programmes in the fields of water, hygiene and sanitation, food security and rural development, socio-education and psychosocial support. TGH is currently active in 10 countries in Africa, Europe and Asia.
Presentation of the mission
TGH has a long-standing presence in Sudan: first implementing a multi-sectoral program targeting displaced people and host communities in Geneina (West Darfur) in 2004, it soon extended its presence to Central Darfur (Bindizi and Um Dukhun in 2005 and 2006 respectively). Since then, TGH has maintained a continuous presence in both states, despite an increasingly complex context. TGH has also intervened for shorter periods in Khartoum (2004-2005), Gedaref State (2012) and South Kordofan (from 2020 to August 2022).
In Sudan, TGH has more than 50 national staff in the field, and is recruiting more, based in the NGO’s offices in Golo, Um Dukhun, Geneina, Port Sudan and Medani. It will have approximately 10 expats (based in Chad & Sudan depending on Sudan visa availability).
This extensive presence enables us to understand the context and continuously monitor the evolution of humanitarian needs and identify priorities for action. Mobile and coordination staff complete the team. They were based in Khartoum before the war and are now in Port Sudan and Chad.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in April 2023, TGH has developed multi-sectoral projects in consortium with other international NGOs to meet the needs of crisis-affected populations in Darfur, Khartoum and Jazeera states.
Due to the ongoing conflict in Sudan, the complex context and the scaling up of TGH activities in response to the humanitarian crisis, there is a need to strengthen the mission’s safety/security management planning and procedures and to invest in developing a safety/security culture within the mission’s staff (expat and nationals).
Job description
Under the supervision of the Country Director, the main responsibilities of the Head of Access and Safety are as follows:
The Head of Access and Safety is expected to visit all offices on a regular basis in order to develop better knowledge of the context in each of TGH’s areas of operation, review relevant processes and procedures, and work with managers to make improvements for the safety of staff.
The Head of Access and Safety will focus primarily on the Sudan context/s but will provide support for TGH staff in Chad working on cross-border activities for Sudan humanitarian activities.

Safety, working and living conditions
Working conditions in Geneina today present risks that are known and controlled by TGH and other international NGOs operating in Darfur. The incumbent will be accommodated by TGH (guesthouse with basic standards, cold water, and electricity). Telephone network and internet coverage are limited. Social life is limited for security reasons. The position involves travel to other locations within Sunday with similar living conditions.
The Head of Access and Safety will strictly follow TGH Security Plan depending on the place of assignment. TGH will monitor the security situation on a weekly basis and will take decisions on accommodation and working conditions consequently. As the context is unpredictable, TGH will take all the necessary precautions to ensure the safety and decent working and living conditions without putting the team at risk.
The person assigned should be adaptable and ready to move if the context evolve.
