Description

The scope and objectives of the program to be funded under the Award resulting from the RFA are to: • Maintain a twenty-four months (two years) Rapid Response Fund (RRF) Program with stand-by capacity, whereby international and local organizations will be supported through sub-awards to provide short-term, effective, and quick-impact interventions to meet acute emergency humanitarian needs as they emerge over the duration of the Award; and • Build and strengthen the humanitarian response capacity of national South Sudanese non-governmental organizations (NGOs) through technical assistance on programmatic, administrative, and financial aspects of sub-award implementation.
