War Child program in South Sudan

The Republic of South Sudan recently became the world’s newest nation. Due to decades of conflict and mass displacement of communities during the war, access to basic services is severely limited and the country has some of the lowest rankings in human development indicators. War Child Holland has been working in South Sudan since 2006. The programme purpose is to ensure that children, youth, communities and government are able to promote awareness on child rights, protect children from abuse, exploitation and all forms of violation of their rights. The programme achieves this by ensuring a protective environment for children and promoting access to good quality basic education in the Central and Eastern Equatoria States. War Child Holland in South Sudan has its country office in the capital Juba and field offices in Juba and Torit.

The location

Juba is the Capital of the new Republic and is connected by flights to the neighbouring countries. It is a fast growing town of several thousand inhabitants with a booming construction industry and fast expanding informal settlements. Power supply is erratic. Supplies and consumer goods are generally available, though expensive. In spite of limited services, Juba has a wide range of restaurants and a growing number of recreational facilities of reasonably good standard. There is a relatively large International NGO community in Juba with a strong NGO forum that provides a platform for coordination.
