The 2022 Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) for the South Sudan situation outlines the multi-agency response strategy and financial requirements of 102 partners, including humanitarian and development actors as well as civil society, supporting host governments to meet the critical needs of over 2.33 million South Sudanese refugees living across the five main asylum countries. In addition, the plan aims at assisting over 1.3 million impacted members of host communities.
The interagency response plan, developed in accordance with the Refugee Coordination Model (RCM), takes a comprehensive and solutions-oriented approach. RRRP partners will reinforce the response to meet the lifesaving needs of South Sudanese refugees whilst strengthening national protection and resilience mechanisms in asylum countries. Given the need to move beyond emergency assistance to overcome the socio-economic impact of the pandemic, strengthen the resilience and self-reliance for South Sudanese refugees and support host communities to enhance peaceful coexistence, the 2022 RRRP envisages stronger engagement with development and peacebuilding partners. The IGAD Support Platform provides a strategic mechanism for mobilizing political, financial, material and technical support for the implementation of the policy commitments made.
