The role of local actors in the humanitarian response in the South Sudan conflict

2016

Displaced by recent fighting in a nearby town, a refugee from Sudan clears land at a camp on the outskirts of Aweil town in South Sudan. In May 2017, Tearfund responded to the humanitarian need by providing blankets, jerry cans, buckets and soap to the internally displaced who arrived in Aweil. Photo: Will Swanson/Tearfund

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.
