March 2022 – An estimated 8.4 million people across South Sudan are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Approximately 1.6 million people are internally displaced within South Sudan and almost 2.2 million South Sudanese have sought protection in neighbouring countries. An estimated 7.2 million people are currently severely food insecure, with malnutrition rates over emergency thresholds. Water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) needs remain extremely high in South Sudan, impacting public health outcomes. With GAC’s support, Concern Worldwide is providing WASH and nutrition assistance for up to 129,000 displaced and conflict-affected people in Unity State. Project activities include: (1) delivering outpatient therapeutic programs, targeted supplementary feeding programs and infant and young child feeding services through mobile clinics in six project sites; (2) maintaining existing water points and water treatment facilities and constructing shallow wells and boreholes; and (3) constructing and maintaining latrines and providing hygiene items, including menstrual hygiene kits.
