In this blog, Paul Richards reflects on what aid agencies in South Sudan can learn from the Ebola response in West Africa.

The COVID-19 response in South Sudan is a clear example. Read more
South Sudan has, up to the time of writing, avoided the worst effects of the global coronavirus pandemic. However, as the disease spreads further through the African continent, South Sudan—and other countries in the Greater Horn of Africa region—need to carefully calibrate their response to prevent a dangerous escalation.
