About SIHA Network
The Strategic Initiative for Women in the Horn of Africa (SIHA Network) is a regional feminist civil society network working across the Greater Horn of Africa to advance women’s rights, gender equality, and social justice. SIHA works with grassroots organizations, activists, communities, and partners to promote women’s leadership, protection, economic empowerment, and meaningful participation in public life. Operating in complex humanitarian and development contexts, SIHA combines advocacy, movement building, research, protection, and programme implementation to address systemic inequalities affecting women and girls.

The Country Coordinator will serve as SIHA’s senior representative in Sudan and provide overall leadership for programme implementation, strategic engagement, advocacy, resource management, and team leadership. The role requires a strong understanding of Sudan’s evolving political, humanitarian, and gender landscape, alongside demonstrated experience managing complex programmes in fragile and conflict-affected environments. The successful candidate will work closely with country and regional teams to strengthen programme quality, expand partnerships, support fundraising efforts, and ensure SIHA remains a leading voice for women’s rights and gender justice in Sudan.
