When floods, drought, or conflict strike, ACEA responds rapidly with life-saving humanitarian aid. We provide immediate emergency relief, including food assistance, temporary shelter, essential non-food items, and trauma support to internally displaced people, refugees, returnees, and host communities across South Sudan.

True recovery goes beyond survival. We bridge the gap between urgent crisis response and long-term resilience by empowering local communities. Through early warning systems, anticipatory action, and community-led disaster risk management, we help families protect their livelihoods and rebuild their lives with dignity.

How We Work

Rather than treating communities as passive beneficiaries, we invest in their potential as active change-makers. We break down systemic barriers and foster sustainable growth through a holistic approach:

  • Vocational & Skills Development: Providing practical training to create pathways toward sustainable livelihoods.
  • Economic Independence & Market Access: Supporting entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and opening access to markets.
  • Leadership Strengthening: Building civic engagement, confidence, and leadership skills so women and youth can shape their own futures.
  • Engaging Men & Boys: Partnering with men and boys as allies in gender transformation to build mutual respect and shared responsibility.
  • Holistic & Legal Advocacy: Addressing root causes by improving access to education, challenging harmful cultural practices, and advocating for legal protections.
  •  

Building Inclusive Peace

True peace is not just the absence of conflict, it is built when marginalized voices are given the platform and tools to lead

Investing in Our Future

When you empower a woman, you build a resilient family; when you equip a young person, you secure the future of an entire nation.

Why It Matters

Disproportionate poverty, unemployment, and harmful cultural practices don’t just affect individuals, they stall progress for entire communities. When women and youth are restricted from participating fully in social, economic, and political life, long-term stability and development remain out of reach.

By addressing these underlying barriers directly, we do more than provide relief – we shift power balances, strengthen legal and social protections, and foster self-reliance. Transforming women and youth into community leaders builds the foundation for lasting peace, economic resilience, and shared prosperity across South Sudan.
