HI has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, implementing emergency and development actions aimed at improving protection, quality of life, and the promotion of rights of vulnerable individuals, including people with disabilities; persons with mental health issues; survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV); Elderly Persons in need (EPN), and Orphans and Unaccompanied Minors. HI’s current operations are centered in POC and IDP sites outside Juba city; as well as the host communities of Yei and Yambio in Central Equatoria and Torit in Eastern Equatoria, with the Country Office based in the capitol of South Sudan, Juba. Following requests from humanitarian partners through the Protection and Health clusters in mid-2014, HI launched its Flying Team mechanism, a mobile response that operated in South Sudan through integrated programming until 2020 and focused on providing inclusive humanitarian actions. Overall, about 50,000 direct beneficiaries (people with disabilities and other most vulnerable) are being targeted through functional rehabilitation, Individual protection assistance, MHPSS and Livelihood projects, with a strong emphasis on mainstreaming disability inclusion and enhancing inclusiveness in humanitarian action. HI current programs are funded by FCDO, MOFA Luxembourg, GFFO and SSHF –South Sudan Humanitarian Fund- among other donors. HI South Sudan was increasingly solicited to support external actors (UN agencies, INGOs, OPDs) on IHA to strengthen disability inclusive programming and services through technical support and capacity development
