| Project Detail |
Although fighting across South Sudan has considerably decreased due to the recently signed peace agreement, humanitarian needs remain dire as a result of multiple factors (e.g. insecurity, destroyed livelihoods, market disruption). Largely, the security situation still remains fragile preventing people from engaging in meaningful production activities which has resulted into widespread food and nutrition insecurity. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) report released in November 2018 shows that, an estimated 6.1 million people are facing severe food insecurity with about 1.8 million people facing malnutrition and are in need of nutrition assistance. According to UNICEF, the estimated caseload of children with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) across the country has increased from 237’459 at the start of 2018 to 362’077 currently. Objectives Improve the nutritional condition of the most vulnerable, malnourished children, pregnant and lactating mothers and other special groups in Juba. Target groups 52,000 pregnant and lactating women 500 children 920 school kids and orphans 100 infants 350 families of disabled persons |
