Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, with which non-governmental organisations (NGO) and NGO forums in South Sudan his Department has links.
We recognise the critical role civil society organisations play in South Sudan, both in providing basic support to the population and in developing local level peace-building initiatives which are essential to addressing the longer term impact of the conflict. We work closely with many of these NGOs, sharing information and analysis, and providing support where appropriate.
