South Sudan Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) Contribution 2014

Project completed
The various humanitarian interventions in South Sudan require an excellent donor coordination and justifiable prioritization procedure. The Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) South Sudan, established in 2012, does not only provide timely and substantial financial provisions for humanitarian projects, it also brings together several important stakeholders involved in the humanitarian response in South Sudan. Contributing to the CHF means to strengthen this mechanism and enable financial support to the most critical interventions, but it also ensures the inclusion of SDC in decision making processes and facilitates a coordinated and strengthened advocacy within the international community.

The project in brief

Background	On 15th of December 2013, armed clashes quickly evolved along tribal lines and caused an ongoing humanitarian crisis.
