Delivering Over 400,000 Cash Transfers to Girls in South Sudan

The first round of GESS 2020 Cash Transfers has been completed. Over 410,000 Cash Transfers have been delivered to girls in every corner of South Sudan.
GESS fast-tracked Cash Transfers in order to support girls and their families to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic and the increased economic need of girls’ households, despite school closures.
Cash Transfers are one of the most effective ways to support people during a crisis. In addition to replacing lost income from the health and economic impacts of COVID-19, they can lessen the financial burden of physical distancing and enable girls to purchase both health and sanitation supplies.
The Cash Transfers are also an incentive to stay focused and to engage in learning at home so that girls do not fall behind, enabling them to return to schools when they reopen.
