The mid-year review of the appeal is an opportunity to review progress against our goals, and commitments made to people in need. This year’s mid-year review has been the most inclusive and accountable to date with Government, donors, UN and NGOs evaluating plans and strategies together to ensure that they best address needs on the ground. The resumption of oil production in April provides a significant opportunity to improve the lives of all our citizens but particularly the lives of the most vulnerable. There are however ongoing political issues on oil flow with Sudan. South Sudanese are a resilient people and we need to enable our citizens to lift themselves out of poverty and fully contribute to the building of our nation. As we have welcomed the 1.9 million South Sudanese from Sudan who have returned since 2007, we will embrace those who continue to arrive this year and beyond. We must ensure that people return in a safe, voluntary and dignified way. We will work to prioritize that those arriving are helped in building new lives wherever they settle. As the conflict in Sudan’s Blue Nile and South Kordofan nears its third year, our Sudanese neighbours continue to seek refuge in Unity and Upper Nile. South Sudan will offer them a safe haven until peace allows them to return home. We will continue to work with the Humanitarian Coordinator and all our humanitarian partners to create an environment in which aid agencies can access people in need. There is much to be done to improve the lives of our people in 2013 and we look to our partners to continue to support us in this endeavor. I am pleased to see the increased engagement of national counterparts by international NGOs and UN agencies in all aspects of their work. It is us South Sudanese who will move our country forward in the longer term as and when the need for humanitarian assistance reduces. The Government recognizes the tireless efforts of the humanitarian community in South Sudan to help our people. To South Sudanese relief workers who risk their lives in volatile areas and to international aid workers who leave their families to come to work in some of the most remote corners of our country, I tell you that the Government of South Sudan is grateful for your commitment and continues to stand beside you. To the donor community, I thank you for your continued support in addressing the needs of the people of South Sudan, and I assure you that we will continue to work to develop sustainable and innovative programmes to increase the resilience and capacity of all our people. His Excellency, Joseph Lual Achuil Lual Minister of Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management SOUTH SUDAN CAP 2013 | MID-YEAR REVIEW INTRODUCTION 3 FOREWORD Pledging commitment to the people of South Sudan As South Sudan approaches the second anniversary of its independence, the problems facing the world's youngest country often appear insurmountable. But how are things now compared to one or two years ago? To what extent has the engagement of the interna- tional community, for example its generous funding for the largest humanitarian operation in Africa, helped? This review brings to light a different and largely better picture of the situation than might have been expected. While the scale and depth of need is still immense and requires sustained engagement, most issues that have an impact on the humanitarian situation are moving in the right direction. While the situation is fragile, hostilities are killing and displacing fewer people, food insecurity has stabilized at least for the time-being, and the economy is weathering the shocks associated with the oil shutdown and resumption. Security has improved with fewer people uprooted from their homes due to violence so far this year compared to the same period in 2012 when some 193,000 people were displaced. We anticipate that aid agencies will assist up to 125,000 people displaced by fighting throughout 2013. Most of the displaced are in parts of Jonglei where the escalation in hostilities has been as persistent as the difficulties aid agencies have experienced working there. Our forecast for the number of refugees in South Sudan has decreased from 350,000 to 263,000. As the pace of new arrivals fleeing conflict in Sudan's Blue Nile and South Kordofan states slowed, the refugee operation has evolved to include both crisis response and care and maintenance. Aid organizations stabilized malnutrition and contained disease outbreaks and new camps are opening to take pressure off existing settlements.
