South Sudan faced multiple intersecting crises in 2024, with chronic food insecurity, conflict spillover from Sudan, severe flooding, and economic collapse exacerbating humanitarian needs.
WFP assisted 4.5 million people with food and cash-based transfers, but severe funding gaps and operational challenges limited the scale of support. Crisis-affected populations, malnourished children, and schoolchildren remained priority groups.
WFP adapted its approach to maximize impact, integrating resilience-building with humanitarian efforts. This included livelihood support for smallholder farmers, infrastructure repairs, and a shift toward more sustainable assistance models amid dwindling resource constraints.
