In South Sudan 8.3 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, 24% women, 54% Children, 22% men and 15% are persons with disabilities (Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) 2021 Report). 2.7 million people are in need of SNFI and Child protection services countrywide (Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) 2021 Report). Women and girls are still facing GBV (Gender-Based Violence) and PSS (Psycho-Social Support) distress, and everyone is impacted by Covid-19 across the country [Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) 2021 report]. Inter-agency Rapid Needs Assessments (IRNA) 2021 Reports indicate massive displacement of people as a result of unpreceded flooding.

Unprecedented continuous flooding impacted children and their caregivers` physical well-being, living standard, and coping mechanisms are expected to further deteriorate in 2021.  Household (HH) populations have increased to between 4-6 people, creating congestion and overcrowding, exacerbating the spread of COVID-19 among the population. Most affected HH(Households) lack basic household kits. IDP’s were confirmed to be sharing limited HH items with the host thus sheltered in already built tukuls, on average 5-8 people per tukul. SNFI and Child Protection target 21,005 individuals. the overall project target is 27,505 individuals SNFI beneficiaries will be targeted through the distribution of in-kind assistance to 21,005 individuals - 12,603 individuals newly displaced persons (IDPs), 5,251 person returnees, and 3,151 persons host communities (HC).
