After 18 months of hostilities in South Sudan, the political and economic situation remains fragile and the humanitarian outlook is grim. The conflict has devastated the lives of millions of South Sudanese and displaced more than 2.2 million people. Almost 8 million people in South Sudan are food insecure. 4.6 million will face acute hunger in the second half of 2015.

Strengthen the humanitarian response in South Sudan by providing timely funding for projects addressing the most critical needs in the country.

The allocation and disbursement of joint donor resources aim at meeting the most critical needs and target therefore the most vulnerable persons.

Projects directly addressing life-threatening needs and aiming at saving lives and alleviating suffering have been implemented.
