JUBA, South Sudan, 13 September 2021 / PRN Africa / — HIGHLIGHTS
The South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) allocated US$49.5 million to 54 humanitarian organizations through the first standard allocation for 2021, targeting an estimated 1.7 million vulnerable people.
The allocation focused on three thematic areas: supporting people affected by food insecurity in IPC 4 and 5 areas (envelope 1), supporting people in six displacement sites (envelope 2) and supporting critical enablers, such as logistics, community engagement and data collection (envelope 3).
To address the cross-sectoral nature of humanitarian needs, the SSHF prioritized a multi-cluster approach, allocating $30.5 million or 62 per cent of the total allocated amount to integrated projects and $19 million or 38 per cent to single cluster projects.
The SSHF continued to promote the localization agenda by channeling 22 per cent of funds to national non-governmental organizations.
