World Vision South Sudan FY2023 Annual Report

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.

Our interventions focused on food assistance, food security and livelihoods, health and nutrition, water, sanitation and hygiene, education, protection, peacebuilding, gender equality, and social inclusion. This approach enabled children, families, and communities to meet their immediate needs and build their resilience to adapt and thrive.
