AVSI South Sudan

Where are we going?g• Eastern Equatoria represents an exception considering the present generalsituation in South Sudan (widespread insecurity in the Northern States –problems with Sudan – and in other States – interethnic problems, Lou Nuer-Mourle conflict and heavy SAF bombing in Unity and Northern Bahr-el-Gazel)• This does not necessarily mean that AVSI has to change its area and sectorsof intervention (running after emergency funds)• Instead, it means that now, more than before, AVSI is reinforcing itspresence in Eastern Equatoria, as a major and consolidated actor inEducation and Health, which are our main sectors of intervention. Theprojects which we are implementing at the moment (especially BSF forHealth and Unicef for Education) go exactly in this direction.• AVSI has now to show and demonstrate its ability, capacity and expertise toguarantee continuity and stability in all our interventions (donors havealready recognized it. We are now co-leader with UNICEF in EES forEducation in Emergency Cluster )
