In July 2026, the WHO South Sudan Country Office implemented activities to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment. The office worked to strengthen safeguarding and accountability in humanitarian and emergency response operations. A key achievement was the training of 36 personnel from the Ministry of Health and National Public Health Institute on safeguarding.

This training was part of a Master Training of Trainers session held in Juba, aiming to enhance mitigation measures and ensure ethical health service delivery. Further details on the WHO's efforts to prevent and respond to sexual exploitation, abuse, and harassment in South Sudan are available from the WHO South Sudan Country Office report.
