The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) adopted a two-year vision and strategy for humanitarian action that ensures vulnerable crises-affected people of South Sudan are supported and empowered through innovative, inclusive, and solution-oriented responses that enable them to live with dignity in a self-reliant manner, achieved through the following strategic objectives:
Strategic Objectives
1
Vulnerable crises-affected people have reduced morbidity and mortality through equitable, safe, and dignified access to life-saving assistance to meet their needs.
2
Vulnerable crises-affected people’s protection risks are mitigated as humanitarians uphold a commitment to the centrality of protection in humanitarian action informed by communities’ priorities.
3
Vulnerable people’s capacity to withstand the impact of shock is increased, and nexus opportunities are optimized.
Strategic Objective 1
Vulnerable crises-affected people have reduced morbidity and mortality through equitable, safe, and dignified access to lifesaving assistance to meet their needs.
Humanitarian partners are dedicated to ensuring timely, life-saving, multi-sectoral responses that enable the survival and reduction of morbidity among the most vulnerable populations. The collective response is to ensure that those affected by crises attain equitable access to high-quality, gender-responsive, and inclusive life-saving services.
Strategic Objective 2
Vulnerable crises-affected people’s protection risks are mitigated as humanitarians uphold a commitment to the centrality of protection in humanitarian action informed by communities’ priorities.
Humanitarian partners will aim to improve the living and protection conditions of highly vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and resident population through equitable and safe access to assistance and protection. Partners will provide specialized protection and multi-sectoral services that are sensitive to gender, age, and disability among vulnerable groups, including survivors of GBV, neglect, and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA). The response will ensure conflict and gender-sensitive access to safe housing, land, and property (HLP) for women, men, girls, and boys, including sufficient security of tenure to enhance access to essential HLP services and livelihoods such as access to dispute resolution mechanisms. The response will be delivered through a people-centered approach that ensures that crisis-affected people are consulted and engaged throughout the response. Their inputs are considered in decision-making to promote collective actions towards accountability to the affected population (AAP).
Strategic Objective 3
Vulnerable people’s capacity to withstand the impact of shock is increased, and nexus opportunities are optimized.
Humanitarian partners will collaborate to enhance the resilience of affected communities and strengthen their capacity to withstand shocks. The collaboration will involve working closely with development and local actors, including the Government, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), civil society organizations (CSOs), and faith-based groups. The approach aims to create synergies among humanitarian, peace, and development actors to address the underlying causes of vulnerability.
