Every child deserves access to safe, nutritious food, yet millions across Africa face hunger and malnutrition due to conflict, climate shocks, and fragile food systems. Together, we must invest in resilient agriculture, empower communities, and ensure that nutrition is at the heart of food security strategies.

The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) update for South Sudan reveals a critical situation: over half of the country’s population is projected to experience crisis or worse levels of hunger (IPC Phase 3 and above) between April and July 2026. The report warns of a potential deterioration towards famine in areas affected by ongoing conflict and instability.

An uncomfortable truth: without placing children at the heart of resilience strategies, we are merely managing decline rather than building the future.

In humanitarian crises, food security is often treated as a standalone goal. But World Vision is helping shift that paradigm — proving that protecting children must be central to how we feed, recover, and rebuild. Together with the Child Protection Area of Responsibility, the Alliance for Child Protection in Humanitarian Action, Plan International, and the Food Security Cluster, World Vision is setting a new standard: one where child well-being is not an afterthought, but a core outcome of humanitarian response.
