HUMANITARIAN RESPONSE

The humanitarian response programme is fourfold:  Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH); shelter & nonfood items (S/NFI); protection and gender based violence and climate & environmental conservation sectors.  This program is supporting the Government of South Sudan by targeting the sector goals under the Ministry of humanitarian affairs and disaster management through delivery of appropriate emergency relief services and materials to the diverse vulnerable communities in the ten states of South Sudan in a timely and efficient manner. Over 1million people reached with humanitarian assistance since 2013 to date.

Right2Grow consortium partners are meeting in a two day workshop to discuss achievements, challenges and recommendations to improve on the program success. Consortium partners interact with governments officials to influence decision-making using data and lessons learned from R2G partners. The workshop is discussing underfunding in South Sudan and encouraging policymakers to increase funding for basic WASH and nutrition services. The Right2Grow Consortium partners commit to support the South Sudan government in developing nutrition programming.
