South Sudan Briefing
We are pleased to host a briefing on the situation in South Sudan. The briefing will be provided by Lisa Monaghan, Protection and Advocacy Advisor for the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) and the Protection Cluster Co-Lead for South Sudan, who has been working in South Sudan for the last year. Against the background of recent political developments – including the signing of a peace agreement – Lisa will: • give an overview of the current humanitarian context from the field perspective; • provide an update on the displacement figures and dynamics; • discuss the protection challenges in the country, including the issues in protection of civilians in a country where the UN mission has a mixed political and PoC mandate; and • talk about some of the obstacles experienced by humanitarian actors, and the challenges in providing assistance going forward.
