Environmental Scan / Working Conditions This is an unaccompanied position based in the field, in Kuajok. South Sudan suffers from lack of basic infrastructure and social services and more than half of the population lives in poverty. Legal frameworks and institutions to enforce the rule of law are largely undeveloped.
