Protection Cluster Coordinator South Sudan

• The humanitarian situation in South Sudan in 2026 remains one of the most severe and complex crisis driven by conflict, economic collapse, climate shocks, disease outbreaks, mass displacement, and shrinking humanitarian funding. An estimated 10 million people will experience critical needs in 2026.
• The conflict in neighbouring Sudan continues to drive refugee inflows and returnee movements into South Sudan, placing additional pressure on already overstretched services and humanitarian systems. Over 1 million people have crossed into South Sudan since the Sudan conflict began.
• NRC works in South Sudan to protect the rights of displaced and vulnerable people during crisis and meet immediate humanitarian needs, prevent further displacement, and contribute to durable solutions. Access remains one of the most significant operational challenges due to active conflict, insecurity and bureaucratic impediments making it difficult for aid organizations to reach those in need. Our programme primarily includes Rapid response to emergencies, multipurpose cash assistance, legal protection, education, shelter, Water and hygiene promotion. Beyond this, NRC South Sudan has volunteered to co-lead Protection, WASH, Shelter, Land, and Site Coordination Clusters, including HLP and Durable Solutions Working Groups.
