"We Dare where others fear"
The launch of the fragility index- a tool designed to support humanitarian and development actors in moving beyond emergency response programming towards transitional and recovery programming, marks a critical shift in the journey towards development.
South Sudan ranks among the most fragile countries alongside Somalia in the world, according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).
The latest tool introduced by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in partnership with researchers from Duke University, will go a long way in complementing the efforts of the government and it’s partners to provide solutions to displacements and also to build on initiatives that offer communities longer-term solutions to withstand future shocks.
The focus on the immediate needs of many displaced people without basing on their status, will lead to realistic tangible benefits for the country.
The country is yearning for sustainable peace, security and development and it’s such tools like the fragility index that could help transform livelihoods of people, and also build resilience to cushion the suffering population from future shocks.
