Country: South Sudan
Closing date: 05 Jan 2018
South Sudan is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, the Humanitarian Needs Overview for 2017 states that nearly 7.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection as a result of multiple and deepening crises; over 1.87 million South Sudanese are internally displaced and additional 1.3 million have sought refuge in neighbouring countries.
The fighting and insecurity since 2013, which culminated with the July 2016 crisis, has destroyed the livelihoods of millions of South Sudanese, disrupted markets and caused a deep economic crisis. As a consequence, the humanitarian needs in the country are higher than ever and food insecurity and malnutrition reached unprecedented levels.
Welthungerhilfe’s Country Program in South Sudan is focusing on the geographical areas of Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Unity States, and aims at improving food and nutrition security of vulnerable population, mainly smallholder farmers and internally displaced population. The aim is to support these target groups in re-building their livelihoods and strengthening resilience. Welthungerhilfe provides both emergency assistance such as food and NFIs, as well as transitional assistance such as promotion of agriculture development and WASH. Welthungerhilfe is one of the main partners of the World Food Program (WFP) in South Sudan, other major donors to the Country Programme are the EU, FAO, GIZ, BMZ, AA.
