The participating States include Central Equatoria, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile and Jonglei. The assessment will be conducted by the Uganda Women’s Network (UWONET). The project is funded jointly by the Government of the Republic of South Sudan and the Multi-Donor Trust Fund (MDTF) administered by the World Bank under the Rapid Emergency Project.
