SI is operating in South Sudan since 2006, and it developed activities in emergency and post emergency context, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas. Its expertise in running emergency WaSH intervention is highly acknowledged by all WaSH actors and donors.

SI’s South Sudan mission grew very quickly in 2012 and the trend continued in 2013 as a consequence of the emergency interventions launched in response to Sudanese refugees influxes into South Sudan in April and May 2012. 2013 has been an extremely challenging year due to the workload in the 3 bases working on refugees assistance programs, including the opening of a new base where SI was the first NGO settling there. The political and security events that occurred in Juba on Dec 15^th, 2013 and what can now be considered as a civil war that started have dramatically changed the situation and downsized the mission. A good summary of the situation is this article: http://www.rfi.fr/afrique/20140115-soudan-soudan-sud-mois-conflit-anarchie-kiir-machar-bechir

Preamble: The United Nations Volunteers (UNV) programme is the UN organization that promotes volunteerism to support peace and development worldwide. Volunteerism can transform the pace and nature of development, and it benefits both society at large and the individual volunteer.

In all assignments, UNV volunteers promote volunteerism through their action and conduct. Engaging in volunteer activity can effectively and positively enrich their understanding of local and social realities, as well as create a bridge between themselves and the people in their host community. This will make the time they spend as UNV volunteers even more rewarding and productive.
