We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable people to help meet their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.

INFORMATION ON THE CONTEXT OF THE MISSION
A peace agreement signed on 12 September 2018 between President Salva Kiir and opposition leaders headed by Riek Machar has reduced the likelihood of renewed intense civil war combat. However, with other militia leaders such as Thomas Cirillo excluded from the peace deal, and several instances of armed groups breaking the permanent ceasefire agreement, low-level endemic conflict is likely to continue. In the event that a transitional government formed as scheduled in February 2020, each member of the government’s executive would have a security detail made up of their own fighters. The proximity of rival militias in the capital would increase the chances of a low-likelihood, high-impact scenario of renewed widespread civil war combat. If fighting broke out, it would likely begin in Juba and last for several days before spreading countrywide, particularly to the northern, oil-producing regions. Sudan’s reliance on South Sudanese oil exports and the likely international condemnation of any Sudanese attack against South Sudan greatly reduce the likelihood of interstate conflict between the two countries.
Despite reduced fighting during that period, the humanitarian case load remains high. Across South Sudan, about two thirds of the country’s population remain in need of humanitarian assistance or protection in 2020. This illustrates the multi-faceted nature of the causes of the protracted humanitarian needs in the country. The underlying factors include years of conflict, displacement and lack of investment in basic services, lost food production, destroyed livelihoods, sexual violence and children losing their education.
DESCRIPTION OF THE MISSION/PROJECT
HI has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, implementing humanitarian and development actions aimed at promoting the rights, safety and quality of life of vulnerable populations, particularly persons with disabilities, mental health problems and functional limitations across the country. HIs current portfolio adopts an integrated and multi-sectoral approach which includes interventions centred on MHPSS, Protection, Functional Rehabilitation and livelihoods with disability inclusion a cross-cutting theme across all programmes. In 2020, HI will continue to implement interventions in these areas, whilst transitioning to post-emergency and recovery programming.
At present the total mission portfolio is approximatively 5 million euros. The main donors of the mission are DFID, ECHO, UNHCR, SSHF, Luxembourg Ministry of Foreign Affairs, French Ministry of Foreign Affairs/CDC. The mission currently employs 15 international and 106 national staff, working from the coordination office in Juba, field offices in Yei, Torit, Yambio and a mobile response team covering multiple locations across the country. HI is intending to expand to former Unity State to address the humanitarian needs of the population in the coming year.
