Introduction South Sudan Consolidated appeal 20132PrefACeFrom the Government of South SudanThe Consolidated Appeal for 2013 is the product of the combined work of the Government and the humanitarian community to addressthe priority needs of the people of South Sudan, and direct aid in the most timely and effective way possible.On behalf of the Government of South Sudan, I extend my gratitude to the humanitarian community – the national and internationalNGOs, the UN family and donors – who have worked together to complete this process. I also wish to thank the aid workers who worktirelessly to improve the lives people in South Sudan, in some of the most remote and challenging areas across the country's ten states.Many achievements have been made in a number of areas. Soon after independence, South Sudan was formally admitted into the UNGeneral Assembly and then joined the African Union. The new nation took immediate steps to establish its structures, including theformation of the National Legislative Assembly. With independence also came the responsibility to provide for our citizens. The Governmentlaunched the South Sudan Development Plan, followed by a series of more specific plans to ensure core functions of governmentexist and work. A key priority for the Government now is to facilitate the operating environment for humanitarian operations, and ensurea close link between emergency relief and development.While concrete strides have been made in many areas, the first sixteen months of statehood have not come without challenges. Decadesof conflict have deeply affected the development of our young state. A legacy of protracted civil war has meant that it will be some yearsbefore the Government has the capacity to provide sufficient basic services to meet the needs of the country’s people. South Sudanesereturning from Sudan require support in building new lives, communities affected by violence need emergency relief, and Sudanesecontinue to flee across the border in search of refuge in our country. High food prices are driving many households into destitution, andmillions of South Sudan's people will remain food insecure. The human consequences are our call to action.We will provide assistance to the most vulnerable communities based on the strong partnership between the Government of SouthSudan and the humanitarian community. We look forward to establishing new ways of working to enable people in South Sudan to gaincontrol over their own destiny and be at the forefront of the delivery of humanitarian assistance and socio-economic development.Our joint efforts will meet urgent needs and guide South Sudan towards peace and prosperity.His Excellency, Joseph Lual Achuil LualMinister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management
<strong>SOUTH</strong> <strong>SUDAN</strong> CONSOLIDATED APPEAL 2013INTRODUCTION3FOREWORDPledging commitment to the people of South SudanJuly 2013 will mark two years since the Independence of the Republic of South Sudan and the country’s admission to the United Nationsas the world’s newest state. While this period has been marked by notable achievements, the humanitarian situation remains fragile.Many challenges confront almost 4.6 million of the estimated 12 million people living in South Sudan.The shutdown of oil production in January 2012 resulted in austerity measures adding to hardship for many people. However, landmarkagreements between South Sudan and Sudan signed in September marked a positive turn. It is anticipated that the resumption of oilproduction will result in an improved economic environment for 2013, and the reopening of cross-border trade will improve the livelihoodsof the people of South Sudan. It is hoped that oil revenues can result in more provision of basic services of health, education andsocial welfare, building resilience and reducing reliance on humanitarian assistance.Aid agencies are providing lifesaving assistance to refugees leaving Sudan, and arriving in Unity and Upper Nile states. As of 31October 2012 more than 175,000 people had fled to South Sudan, and the Humanitarian Country Team envisages up to 150,000 newarrivals in the year ahead.Up to 4.6 million people will remain in need of food or livelihoods support in 2013. Contributing factors include the insufficient harvestin 2012, high commodity and fuel prices, continued refugee arrivals, violence-related displacement inside the country, and seasonalflooding.Inter-communal violence in Jonglei in December 2011 drove the humanitarian community to respond to the urgent needs of 170,000people. While displacement was lower in 2012 than in 2011, a very welcome trend, partners remain concerned at possible outbreaks ofviolence in Jonglei and other areas of the country.South Sudanese continue to return from Sudan, and aid agencies are on hand to help an expected 125,000 people in transit or reachingtheir homeland. New partnerships will need to be formed to ensure the successful reintegration of South Sudanese in the areas to whichthey choose to return.The Consolidated Appeal for 2013 reflects the humanitarian community’s collective commitment to reducing suffering, providing protection,and boosting the resilience of the most vulnerable people in South Sudan. 114 non-governmental organizations and UN agenciesworking in close coordination with the Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management, as well as with the Relief and RehabilitationCommission, have come together and require US$1.16 billion to attend to the most urgent needs.The underlying causes of suffering necessitate collective and sustained humanitarian preparedness and response throughout 2013.The Government and partners are working closely to maintain an enabling environment for humanitarian action: this is vital not onlybecause it saves lives and protects people; humanitarian action must also empower people and their communities, boost disaster riskreduction and contribute to future development.As humanitarians we pledge to remain engaged with South Sudan in its early years of statehood. We look forward to continuing thishistoric journey with the people and Government of South Sudan.Toby LanzerHumanitarian Coordinator
