The Coalition for Humanity (CH) has launched a transformative Four-Year Strategic Plan (2025–2029), aiming to build resilience, expand access to essential services, and empower South Sudan’s most vulnerable populations.
With an investment of USD 8.83 million, the strategy focuses on five key pillars, water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Health and Nutrition, Food Security, Education and Gender-Based Violence (GBV)
Speaking during the launch in Juba, CH Executive Director Richard Teny described the plan as a shift from traditional emergency relief to long-term development and sustainability.
“This Strategic Plan demonstrates our shift from short-term relief to long-term resilience. By mobilizing diverse resources and partners, we expect to reach more communities, reduce dependency, and create lasting impact,” said Teny.
The plan will be funded through donor contributions, public–private partnerships, diaspora engagement, and crowdfunding platforms.
The initiative has received strong support from both national and international partners. Ester Ikere Eluzai, Undersecretary at the Ministry of Gender and Social Welfare, praised CH’s approach and pledged government collaboration.
“We highly acknowledge this partnership with CH and commit to working together in the long run,” she said.
Jimmy Shilaho, CH’s Head of Programs, emphasized that the strategy will prioritize refugees and vulnerable communities, with a plan to expand from the current seven out of thirteen regions across South Sudan.
“Our target is to achieve 15% annual growth, supported by direct donor funding, consortium programming with international NGOs, and innovative public–private partnerships,” Shilaho noted.
A key component of the plan is CH’s partnership with the University of Juba, which will provide research and innovation support to guide evidence-based programming.
The event also featured remarks from David, Head of UN OCHA in South Sudan, who commended CH for aligning its strategy with national development plans and global humanitarian frameworks.
The strategic framework is launched under the theme: “From Relief to Resilience: Local Voices, Lasting Impact.”
The theme reflects CH’s commitment to locally led, sustainable humanitarian action that moves beyond immediate aid to long-term transformation
