Education

South Sudan’s education indicators remain among the worst in the world, despite increases in school enrolment over the past few years.

BACKGROUND OF THE FOUNDATION

Where AFEF originated?

South Sudan emerged from a long war through a referendum, which lead to independence in 2011. The country was then plunged into a civil unrest that ended six years after signing a revitalized peace agreement in September 2018, and subsequent formation of the Government of National Unity in February 2020. Since then conflict events decreased contributing significantly to recovery and peace-building in the country.

Progress with evidence of continuous fruitful activities and steady involvement of South Sudanese citizens ready for development, adaptation to change, and open for opportunities and awareness of risks is at the moment being witnessed. However, despite the expected growth, uncertainties to provide opportunities to some disadvantaged people who experienced most unspeakable poverty, turmoil, and violence during the war and civil unrest in South Sudan remained unrealized. This group include children denied education, die from treatable and preventable diseases, forced into child labor, and married off as soon as they reach puberty, and gender-based violence.

Survivors of these atrocities lack substantial support to recover from the physical and psychological trauma they endured mainly in the rural villages.

It is with this background that Action for Equality Foundation (AFEF) was formed. Driven by social impact, trying to work with people from deprived backgrounds to empower them through the arts and creativity of giving more people the opportunity to equity and equal life.

These hazards in South Sudan curtailed National priority to rally its people to initiate and accelerate development of key community development sectors. International Development partners continue efforts to provide life-saving support to communities across the country and significant needs remain across all sectors of interventions especially, protection against vulnerable groups, children and women.

AFEF Foundation Life Stories

Human rights violations

Sexual violence in South Sudan has been instrumental zed as a reward and entitlement for youth and men participating in conflict. It serves as a means of building ethnic solidarity to mete out retribution against perceived enemies; the objective being to inflict maximum disruption and the destruction of the fabric of communities, including through their constant displacement. This scourge has had the most profound impact on victims, their families and communities.

AFEF provides services in capacity building on GBV/SGBV, Protection awareness raising and campaigns and advocacy, Rehabilitation of CFS supporting vulnerable children and at risk children’s, out of school and vulnerable children, supporting women and men in realizing their potential deployment of both local and international volunteers to various community projects, capacity Building sessions to women, men, stakeholders, youth groups, and other partners

Civil war
Only a few years after independence from Sudan, a civil war broke out. South Sudan’s independence ends decades of conflict as well as socioeconomic and political marginalization at the hands of successive governments in Khartoum, which affected women in gender-specific ways. Independence thus opens up opportunities for women’s economic and social empowerment, ensuring that the new country’s political and economic structures and institutions reflect commitments to women’s participation and human rights. In turn, empowering women will enable South Sudan to strengthen its economic and political structures and institutions.
