JUBA, Aug. 29 (Xinhua) — The World Food Programme (WFP) and the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) have received US$65 million to support efforts to build the resilience of vulnerable communities in South Sudan, the two organizations said in a joint statement released in the South Sudanese capital Juba on Thursday.
The statement said that under the second phase of the joint resilience project in South Sudan, funding will be directed to assist almost one million people in urban and peri-urban areas of Juba, Torit, Yambio and Aweil.
UNICEF Representative in South Sudan Noala Skinner said the support would have a profound impact on the country, where an estimated 9.3 million people (about 70 percent of the population) are in need of humanitarian assistance.
“This will enable UNICEF to scale up critical interventions from treating acute malnutrition and providing access to clean water to providing essential health and education services and protecting children,” said Skinner.
WFP Acting Country Director for South Sudan Adam Effendi said the support was not just aid, but an investment in long-term resilience, food security and people's dignity. –0–
