South Sudan protracted disasters: localizing digital aid
South Sudan is highly exposed to emergency events, such as floods, droughts, disease outbreaks and famine, posing substantial risks to the population.
In 2024 the ERT arrived to South Sudan to support the RISE consortium of community-based organizations with digital tools to collect and share vital information, mobilize resources, and collaborate across the teams.
RISE is equipped with the digital tools to conduct comprehensive assessments, produce real-time reports, improve coordination among 8 organizations, while engaging donors in evidence-based programming.
