What We're Reading 📚: Why is South Sudan so dangerous for local aid workers? More aid workers have been killed, wounded, or kidnapped in South Sudan over the past decade than in any other country. Between 2011 and 2023, 94% of the aid workers killed in South Sudan have been South Sudanese. "To keep national staff safer, international aid groups should take concrete steps to better understand the dynamics that place their workers at risk, including those dynamics that agencies are themselves responsible for. They must also reckon with the fact that, despite assuming a greater burden of risk, national aid workers are afforded fewer resources, protections, and rights than their international colleagues." 🔗 https://ow.ly/hWHt50ShZka In partnership with InterAction and over 50 other international and local NGOs, CDA developed the most robust data set and analysis to date related to risk management in humanitarian response and operations.
