KEY DEVELOPMENTS
-
Non-governmental organizations (NGOs) continue to report bureaucratic impediments, such as extra fees related to staff work permits and communications equipment, which restrict access to populations in need across South Sudan. Despite significant humanitarian access constraints, relief agencies—including USAID partners—continue to provide life-saving emergency assistance to populations in need throughout the country.

In March, USAID/OFDA partner the International Organization for Migration (IOM) deployed two health rapid response teams to conduct vaccination campaigns against cholera and measles, reaching more than 144,000 people. In addition, the UN World Food Program (WFP)—with USAID/FFP support—has delivered emergency food assistance to approximately 2.4 million unique beneficiaries in South Sudan since the beginning of 2018.
