South Sudan's overall fragility worsened in 2023 due to various reasons, including ongoing intercommunal conflicts, frequent climate shocks such as flooding and drought, rising cost of living, and the crisis in Sudan. All these factors led to an increase in food insecurity, malnutrition, and displacement. Humanitarian organisations operating in the country also faced multiple challenges, such as a lack of funding, safety concerns for staff, and difficulties accessing areas with the greatest need.

Despite these challenges, World Vision in South Sudan worked with donors, partners, governments, and communities to reach the most vulnerable. We reached over 3.2 million people, including 1.3 million vulnerable children, through our multi-sectoral approach.

In 2022, South Sudan’s fragility continued to exacerbate as the country reeled from the increasing threats and impact of climate change and conflict, resulting to increased  hunger, displacements, and outbreaks of diseases. All these affect children and communities in many parts of the country.

World Vision South Sudan has remained steadfast on its commitment to deliver its promise — improve the lives of  3 million children by 2025 — as it pursued programs and projects focusing on emergency relief, recovery, and resilience.
