January to June 2023
- The influx of vulnerable people due to the Sudan Crisis led to overburdening the already fragile nutrition service delivery system in South Sudan. With the influx, it is estimated that the number of children and women requiring nutrition support may increase by 30%, overstretching the limited nutrition resources, including supplies and human resources
- Humanitarian resources are reducing against the backdrop of high nutrition needs due to increasing aggravating factors including floods, conflicts, and influx from Sudan. Currently, the NC is underfunded at 41% of the 2023 needs
- Some nutrition sites remained inaccessible due to subnational conflicts and floods, reducing access to live-saving nutrition interventions for vulnerable children and women. In addition, some areas experiencing subnational conflicts reported looting of nutrition supplies from nutrition sites
- In the last six months, at least eight of the ten states in the country have experienced a measles outbreak, overburdening the already weak health system

Nutrition cluster made deliberate efforts in 2022 to ensure that the same target households or individuals in priority counties receive interventions and services from multiple clusters including Health, WASH, FSL, Protection and Education clusters. This was done through joint prioritization of counties with multiple deprivations, and the implementation of a comprehensive package of services aimed at addressing multiple interconnected drivers of malnutrition, reduce vulnerabilities, prevent malnutrition, and build resilience among the vulnerable people. Based on this joint effort with the different clusters, improvement was recorded in Nutrition and WASH situation in seven of the 17 priority counties. Both Nutrition and WASH clusters will be documenting this positive trend in 2023. | |
