SSD: UNOCHA Hum. Fund SSHF 2025


In 2025, it is estimated that two thirds of the South Sudanese population require some sort of humanitarian assistance. The South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) led by the UN Humanitarian Coordinator facilitates a coordinated, quick and agile humanitarian response to sudden-onset events. It also contributes to capacity strengthening of local aid responders. Through its contribution to the Fund, Switzerland helps to ensure that crisis-affected populations throughout the country receives principled and targeted assistance.

Contexte Six years after the signing of the revitalized peace agreement in South Sudan, 9.3 Mio people require some form of humanitarian assistance, out of whom 5.4 Mio (according to HNRP 2025) face critical humanitarian conditions. The humanitarian crisis has persisted due to a combination of sporadic armed clashes and intercommunal violence, food insecurity, public health challenges and climatic shocks. These factors have severely affected people’s livelihoods and hampered access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), education and health services. Since 2023, the economic crisis, the conflict in neighbouring Sudan and widespread flooding have deepened people’s needs. Protection concerns remain high, especially for women and girls.
Objectifs The mandate of the South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) is to allocate funding to save lives, alleviate suffering, and maintain human dignity based on humanitarian needs and on jointly identified priorities.
