Happening Now: Shaping the next four years of humanitarian action

We have commenced a three-day Strategic Plan Development Workshop today in Juba, bringing together South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) leadership, staff and representatives from across the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, including the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), International Committee of the Red Cross South Sudan (ICRC) and Partner National Societies, alongside government representatives.

This is an important opportunity to reflect on the changing context in South Sudan, review lessons from the 2022-2026 strategic period, and collectively shape the Society’s priorities and ambitions for 2027-2030.

Day one focuses on trends and context analysis, helping better understand emerging needs and challenges facing communities across the country. The following days will look at lessons learned and, importantly, what SSRC can do differently and better in the next four years.

The discussions are also focusing on strengthening resilient communities, including how the Society can better prepare for and respond to climate-related shocks and other emerging humanitarian needs.

Last week, from 4-6 August, we hosted a delegation from the Danish Red Cross in Africa and 香港紅十字會 Hong Kong Red Cross for a joint monitoring visit to Kajo Keji County, as part of the ongoing Emergency Response and Group Livelihoods Project.

The team visited community group initiatives in Limi and Kansuk, including crop farming, livestock and small business enterprises supported through a Group Cash Transfer (GCT) approach. Through cash grants, community groups have been able to start or expand locally identified livelihood activities, strengthening income opportunities and supporting greater self-reliance.

During the visit, the team met with community members to hear directly about their experiences, progress and challenges, and to see how the different initiatives are taking shape on the ground.

Implemented by South Sudan Red Cross with support from the Danish Red Cross in Africa and 香港紅十字會 Hong Kong Red Cross, the project brings together three complementary areas of support: emergency shelter, WASH interventions to improve access to safe water, and livelihoods support through Group Cash Transfers.

Together, these interventions are supporting communities in Kajo Keji, Yei and Torit to address immediate needs while strengthening their ability to recover and build more sustainable livelihoods.

Today, as South Sudan commemorated International Olympic Day under the theme “You Can Do This, Let’s Move,” we joined to provide safety services to the participants.

Our teams were on the ground to help keep participants safe, providing first aid and emergency response, with an ambulance on standby for referrals and serious evacuations. A 5-kilometre walking loop started at the Dr. John Garang Mausoleum, passing through Custom roundabout, Hai Thoura and Buluk, before returning to the Mausoleum. The route brought together participants in a shared effort to promote physical activity and healthier lifestyles, with our first aid and emergency response services available along the way.

We also brought health closer to the community through screening for hypertension and diabetes, while sharing simple information on non-communicable diseases ( ), including mental health, asthma, cancer and cardiovascular diseases.

From the walk to the main event at the Dr. John Garang Mausoleum, our responders were there to support people as they moved, celebrated and promoted healthier lives.

Rotriak Health Facility has received a boost in essential medical supplies, to help improve access to treatment for refugees, returnees and the host community following our recent donation of assorted medicines. The supplies, which include antibiotics, antimalarial drugs, oral rehydration salts (ORS), and other essential medicines, were donated through the Unity State Ministry of Health, with support from the Norwegian Red Cross (Røde Kors).

The handover ceremony was officiated by Hon. Jal Puok, State Minister of Health, in the presence of the Director General, Dr. Banen Nong, alongside representatives from the South Sudan Red Cross and other stakeholders.

This contribution will strengthen the availability of essential medicines at the health facility, enabling healthcare workers to provide treatment and improving access to healthcare services for vulnerable communities.

The donation reflects our continued commitment, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health to strengthening healthcare services and improving access to lifesaving medicines for communities in need.

📢 PUBLIC NOTICE: Beware of Fake Job Advertisements

The South Sudan Red Cross wishes to alert the public about fake job advertisements circulating on social media that request payment from applicants.

Please note that we DO NOT charge any fees during our recruitment process. Any request for payment in exchange for employment is a scam!

We urge the public to ignore such posts, avoid sharing personal information or sending money, and rely only on official communication channels.

Our official vacancies and announcements are only published through the South Sudan NGO Forum Website, and on public notice boards bearing the stamp of SSRC and that of the Ministry of Labor.

If you come across suspicious job advertisements claiming to represent the South Sudan Red Cross, please report them immediately.

A community engagement discussion hosted on Yambio FM, by our team in Yambio gave community members the opportunity to ask questions, seek clarification, and share their concerns about Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

Yambio is among the areas prioritized for preparedness due to its proximity to cross-border movement, therefore strengthening community awareness and promoting accurate health information remain essential in reducing the risk of disease transmission.

From understanding how the disease spreads to learning about prevention, treatment, and preparedness, the session demonstrated the value of two-way communication in building informed and resilient communities.

Through continuous engagement and community dialogue both on and off air, we are ensuring that reliable information reaches the people who need it most.

Meet Adol and Nyareech, two dedicated SSRC volunteers in Parieng who have been serving their community since 2016.

Whether responding to floods, supporting returnees and refugees, or sharing lifesaving disaster preparedness messages, they continue to stand alongside their community with compassion and commitment.

Adol and Nyareech use their free time as a learning opportunity, using simple flipcharts to help families understand how to prepare for emergencies and stay safe.

"When people are prepared, they can protect themselves and their families," says Adol.

This weekend, we celebrate volunteers like Adol and Nyareech, whose dedication reminds us that every conversation, every lesson, and every act of service can make a lasting difference.

Thanks to all our for helping build safer, stronger, and more resilient communities across South Sudan.

For years, many communities in Bor South County have struggled to access safe drinking water. Thanks to the recent upgrade of community water yards, more than 4,000 people will now have improved access to safe and clean water.

In Kolnyang and Anyidi Payams, we strengthened access to safe water as part of our ongoing initiatives to improve water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services for communities affected by flooding. Each upgraded water yard is equipped with a 20,000-litre storage tank and can produce up to 10,000 litres of clean water each day, helping communities access safe water even during periods of flooding.

These facilities were officially launched by the Hon. Commissioner of Bor County, Samuel Ateny Pech, together with representatives from the South Sudan Red Cross (SSRC) governing council, Hon. Jacob Achiek Piok, David Mitu, SSRC WASH manager, the Netherlands Red Cross country manager, Katia Leber, and Daniel Mutinda from the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC), both highlighting the importance of working together to build stronger and more resilient communities.

Through the Water at the Heart of Climate Action project, supported by the Netherlands Red Cross (Rode Kruis), the SSRC is working alongside communities and local authorities to expand access to safe water and support practical, community-led solutions to the challenges brought about by climate change, in Bor South and Kapoeta East Counties.
