About the Organisation
The overall objective of Johanniter in South Sudan is to reduce people’s vulnerability, specifically through contributing to morbidity and mortality reduction by improving the population’s health and nutrition status.

At present, Johanniter runs four integrated projects in Western Bahr el Ghazal State (WBeG) and Eastern Equatoria State of South Sudan focusing on maternal and basic health, nutrition (CMAM), WASH, Food Security and Livelihoods, and GBV/Protection.
