In 2025, the International Organization for Migration supported governments, communities, and displaced populations in South Sudan to enhance their capacity to anticipate, withstand, and recover from disasters and climate-related hazards. This support included community-based preparedness initiatives, early warning systems, and risk-informed planning. Anticipatory action and mobility were also key components of these efforts.

The country faces significant disaster risks, as indicated by its INFORM risk class of 5 and a global rank of 1. Humanitarian funding remains well below requirements, potentially impacting the scale and sustainability of disaster risk reduction and other humanitarian interventions.

The population includes over half a million internally displaced persons and several thousand refugees, who are particularly vulnerable to disasters and climate-related hazards. Efforts in 2025 aimed to improve their resilience and recovery capabilities.

The specific outcomes and reach of the 2025 disaster risk reduction activities within South Sudan are not detailed. Information on current humanitarian needs and challenges in other sectors is also not covered.
