Additional funding is requested for flight hours for a dedicated security aircraft to permit DSS the flexible deployment of security personnel to conduct SRAs, and to provide rapid security support and response, including complementing UNHAS capacity for staff relocations and medical evacuations.

The joint UNDP/UNDSS and WFP/UNHAS proposal (14-RR-UDP-001 / 14-RR-WFP-002) aims to provide dedicated security support for humanitarian operations in South Sudan from January to June 2014. UNDSS will deploy two field security coordination officers and hire one national database operator and administrative assistant to bolster DSS services in South Sudan.
