As of early 2026, more than 1,300,000 people have entered South Sudan, the vast majority entering through the Joda/ Wunthow border point in Renk County, Upper Nile State (northern part of South Sudan).- In 2025 internal tensions increased at government level and have led to wide spread conflicts within the country. Elections at the end of 2026 may not happen as planned.As a result, 10 million are in need of humanitarian assistance as of 2026.SI sectors of intervention:- The portfolio includes both WASH & FSL activities. SI's expertise in running emergency WaSH intervention is highly acknowledged by all WaSH actors and donors. SI has also been one of the first responders of the cholera response. New fundings will allow increasing significantly the FSL component on the missionAreas of operation:SI is present:- In Upper Nile, SI has an office in Renk and a sub-office in Malakal. The field office in Renk has been set-up to support the ongoing response to the Sudan Crisis and to ensure constant monitoring and rapid access to affected communities. SI's long term presence in Upper Nile enables the organization to ensure proper coordination with other key players on the ground in order to provide a high-quality response and avoid duplication of efforts. The response has focused on cholera while maintaining life saving WASH services for returnees and refugees in the two main transit centres of the country.- SI has recently opened a base in Ulang (State of Upper Nile but under another base/Field Coordinator)- In addition, SI has a rapid emergency team (ERRM) based in Juba, who is being deployed following Rapid Needs Assessment in flood, epidemic or conflict induced displacement in the country.
