PAH in South Sudan:
PAH
has been working in South Sudan since 2006 as one of the first NGOs
established in Jonglei State. We are a small team of committed
individuals aiming at delivering tangible and sustainable change in the
largest, most populous and most conflicted state of South Sudan. We are
needs- and community based, hence aside drilling and repairing
boreholes, developing accompanying O&M structures and innovative
approaches to sanitation and hygiene promotion, we have also been
developing our emergency response capacity. Our Emergency Response Team
(ERT) mainly reacts to WASH and NFI needs of populations affected by
conflicts and natural disasters, which have been on the increase for the
past two years. Thanks to the expertise gathered over the years, we
were also appointed to lead WASH Cluster in the state: we coordinate
WASH emergency response with partners and hence make sure all vulnerable
communities are served at the time of crisis.
