United States of America has reiterated its commitment to continue providing humanitarian assistance to South Sudan despite her displeasure with the country’s peace process.

South Sudan continues to face insecurity even after the rival parties have signed an agreement to end years of hostilities.

Two weeks ago, United States of America announced, she would not continue being a member of the revitalized Joint Monitoring and Evaluation Commission, R-JMEC, an institution formed to monitor the progress of the peace agreement signed in August 2018.

South Sudan's leaders have not fully availed themselves of the support of these monitoring mechanisms and have demonstrated a lack of political will necessary to implement critical reforms," State Department spokesman Ned Price said in a statement

However, USA said, she will continue to provide $1 billion in humanitarian and development aids to South Sudan by supporting the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, UNMISS.

USA is the leading aid donor in South Sudan, with billions of dollars spent on the path of peace and development.

The U.N. peacekeeping mission, one of the world's most expensive, was renewed for another year in March.

This year, 2022, more than two-thirds of the country's populations, 8.9 million people need humanitarian assistance, an increase of 600,000 since 2021. Ongoing conflict combined with severe flooding has led to large-scale displacement. There are more than 2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in South Sudan, and more than 2.3 million South Sudanese are refugees in neighboring countries.

WOCO with the support from War Child Holland is providing humanitarian assistance some significant numbers of children and women in Upper Nile, mainly in Fashoda, Malakal, Aburoc, Lul and Kodok.
