Pharmaceutical Management Consultant

Background
In November 2009, the three Save the Children offices in Southern Sudan; Sweden, USA, and UK, combined managerial systems to provide a Unified Presence in Southern Sudan. This structure was registered with the Government of Southern Sudan, the Ministry of Legal Affairs and the SSRRC as Save the Children in South Sudan (SC), and programs are managed by Save the Children Fund (SCUK). The integration is the International Save the Children Alliance’s global strategy to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of Save the Children programs thereby magnifying the impact on the lives of children, mothers and their caregivers.
