OCHA Field activities, South Sudan

South Sudan remains one of the most severe protection crises in the world with high levels of GBV and reports of significant gross human rights violations across the country. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) South Sudan works with a host of partners, including national and local authorities, non-governmental and international organizations, and UN humanitarian agencies, focal points for thematic areas (clusters) and local communities, to assess who is in need and what they require, and to determine the most appropriate way of meeting those needs. OCHA monitors the response and provides support on issues that hamper relief delivery, such as humanitarian access or funding shortfalls. OCHA supports the Humanitarian Coordinator in South Sudan (HC), to ensure that he is able to effectively coordinate humanitarian action at the strategic level and engage in high-level advocacy to ensure that relief reaches people in need, on time. OCHA also manages the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund in support of the HC.
