This study is part of a research project commissioned by Tearfund, ActionAid, Cafod, Christian Aid and Oxfam GB to look at the current and future potential of partnerships with national non-governmental organisations in humanitarian response.

The report seeks to understand the strengths and challenges of working with national and local non-governmental organisations in South Sudan’s conflict-driven emergency in 2013, and reviews how the broader humanitarian system facilitates or prevents their involvement.
