South Sudan
In South Sudan, Putting Survivors at the Center activities are implemented by the Women for Women International as well as their local partner organization, ARDI (Agency for Research and Development Initiative). The activities taking place in South Sudan support WfWI’s special role as the co-lead of the local GBV cluster in Yei County. Findings from the formative research conducted during Phase I of the project also revealed a need for awareness raising on the referral pathways and, importantly, how to properly refer survivors without jeopardizing confidentiality, all of which was validated by the local technical advisory group to this project. This was an especially keen need among community leaders, who frequently field spontaneous disclosures of GBV. The activities taking place in South Sudan respond to these specific needs as well as some of the larger thematic findings from the formative research phase.
