Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>South Sudan qualified for special funds for hosting refugees in the country, this is according to the World Bank Group report.<\/p>\n

<\/a>South Sudan is home to 330,000 refugees, 123,000 are Sudanese refugees in Jamjang Ruweng Administrative Areas.<\/p>\n

According to UNHCR, 95 percent are Sudanese, while others come from the Central African Republic, Democratic Republic of Congo, and Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

South Sudan has also hosted asylum-seekers from Eritrea and Burundi.<\/p>\n

In December 2021, South Sudan became eligible to access resources from the International Development Association (IDA) to host refugees in its territory.<\/p>\n

Countries playing host to refugees get a special financing window for supporting refugee populations.<\/p>\n

This year, the World Bank, for the first time, will support programs specifically focusing on refugees and host communities in South Sudan.<\/p>\n

The World Bank\u2019s Board of Directors has approved $70m in special financing known as WHR as part of the Enhancing Community Resilience and Local Governance Project-II and COVID-19 Emergency Response and Health Systems Preparedness Project.<\/p>\n

The Fund is critical to promoting access to basic health care, COVID-19 vaccines, clean water, and education for refugees and their host communities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile WHR support will not be a panacea, it will help the GoSS build on and consolidate the crucial gains of humanitarian aid and transition to a more durable, development-oriented approach to improving the socio-economic conditions of refugees and host communities,\u201d Firas Raad, South Sudan\u2019s World Bank Country Manager said.<\/p>\n

UNHCR South Sudan\u2019s Representative, Arafat Jamal was quoted saying \u201cSouth Sudanese through their empathy and experience are very good toward refugees\u201d.<\/p>\n

South Sudan has signed on to the relevant regional and international refugee conventions and protocols, including the Global Compact on Refugees.<\/p>\n

In 2012, South Sudan enacted a Refugee Act and established a Commission for Refugee Affairs to manage issues related to refugees.<\/p>\n
