Championing South Sudanese Women’s Rights Organisation to lead in humanitarian coordination
We are proud to share our journey of empowerment and advocacy for women’s and children’s rights in South Sudan. With the invaluable support of CAFOD, we have been able to strengthen our initiatives in protection, education, health, livelihoods, and peacebuilding. Recently, we achieved a significant milestone by stepping into a co-chair role within the United Nations humanitarian coordination system focused on Gender-Based Violence. This pioneering position marks the first time a women-led local organization has taken on such a crucial role, traditionally held by UN or international NGOs. This opportunity has not only allowed us to expand our networks and access new funding but has also amplified our voices in the humanitarian sector. As our director, Anna Tazita Samuel, passionately states, “We need to take this space and change the narrative.” This role empowers us to advocate for the rights of women and children more effectively and inspires others to join us in this vital mission.

CASE STUDY: Women For Change (WFC)
Since 2016, Women for Change (WFC) is a women-led organization (WLO) that has been undertaking work in protection, education (formal and informal), reproductive health, food security and livelihoods, peace building, organizational capacity strengthening, and advocacy in Central Equatoria, Warrap and Western Bahr El Ghazel States, South Sudan. Prior to this project, WFC had never assumed leadership of a GBV working group. The opportunity to assume co-leadership of the GBV working group in Warrap State emerged through this project in February 2022. When WFC’s Executive Director came across the call for expressions of interest shared by the South Sudan NGO Forum’s information desk, they decided to apply. Out of the ten organizations that applied, WFC was the successful applicant. They joined the GBV Working Group as a second co-chair, providing leadership alongside the group’s chair (the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare) and co-chair (The Organization of Children in Harmony – TOCH), a male-led organization. A due diligence process was conducted by CAFOD and Trócaire in Partnership (CTP) South Sudan. Once the award was offered, the WFC team travelled to Warrap (Kuajok) to be officially introduced to the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare and other GBV actors. WFC also conducted the official opening of their coordination office in Warrap State
