In September-December 2024, protection monitors conducted 473 Key Informant Interviews (KIIs), 35 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), and 33 Observations covering 68 payams of South Sudan. Furthermore, with the support of the Protection Cluster state-level coordination structures, Protection Risk Assessments were conducted nationally in December 2024.
The five risks below continue to present the highest prevalence and will be analysed in depth in the upcoming Protection Analysis Update (PAU):
- Gender-Based Violence
- Theft, Extortion, Forced Eviction or Destruction of Personal Property
- Child, Early or Forced Marriage and Family Separations
- Discrimination and Stigmatization, Denial of Resources, Opportunities, Services and/or Humanitarian Access
- Attacks on Civilians and Other Unlawful Killings, and Attacks on Civilian Objects.
- While the above-mentioned protection risks continue to be the most prevalent over the last quarter of 2024, PROMO partners recorded a rising trend in the risks associated with:
- Lack of safety and security (from 36% of informants flagging the issue in September to 38% in November)
- Lack of access to humanitarian assistance (from 38% of informants flagging the issue in September to 47% in November)
