(NRC) has been operational in Sudan since 2004 and South Sudan,
providing assistance to IDPs, returnees, refugees and host communities
in areas of significant return. NRC currently operates an integrated

Education, Shelter, Food Security and Information, Counselling and Legal
Assistance (ICLA). The NRC South Sudan programme is implemented in
