Hofmann, Charg\u00e9e d&#8217;affaires a.i. and Head of Cooperation at the German Embassy in Juba, stated that the support reflects Germany&#8217;s commitment to assisting vulnerable communities and strengthening protection services in South Sudan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Germany is continuously supporting the people of South Sudan. We focus on the needs of the most vulnerable groups,&#8221; Hofmann said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Through this engagement with the organization Women for Justice and Equality, we want to show our support for the conflict-affected women and girls in Kajo-Keji County.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She emphasized that the funding would help ensure that beneficiaries receive appropriate mental health and psychosocial support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;By funding their project, we will ensure that the 500 conflict-affected women and girls receive adequate, confidential, and survivor-centered mental health and psychosocial support services,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The project will also strengthen protection services through confidential information management, case management, safe referrals, and community-based protection mechanisms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">According to project details, 100 of the most vulnerable beneficiaries will receive dignity assistance, while another 100 conflict-affected women will benefit from economic empowerment activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These activities will include kitchen gardening and vegetable production, business support tailored to individual needs, and Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs) to improve women&#8217;s economic resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The intervention will specifically target 500 conflict-affected women and girls in Tipere, with beneficiaries selected based on their vulnerability and protection needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hofmann reaffirmed Germany&#8217;s continued commitment to South Sudan, describing the country as Germany&#8217;s second-largest bilateral donor partner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kajo-Keji County has experienced insecurity and violence that have displaced thousands of civilians, particularly women and children, increasing the need for protection and essential support services.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Germany has committed funding to support 500 conflict-affected women and girls in Kajo-Keji County, Central Equatoria State, through mental health, psychosocial support, and protection services aimed at helping survivors recover from trauma and strengthen their resilience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1246,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tdlc_coverage_id":0,"_tdlc_timeline_at":"","_tdlc_timeline_label":"","_tdno_assigned_editor":1,"_tdno_approval_notes":"","_thedawn_video_url":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[10,49],"tags":[38],"class_list":["post-1245","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-humanitarian","category-news","tag-following"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
