Welcome to NPA Southern Sudan
 |
Since 1986, NPA has been the international organisation most consistently working in Southern Sudan. NPA has mainly worked within four areas: food security, health care, development of local communities, and various training programmes for the local population.
Peace negotiations between the SPLA and the government of Sudan started to bear fruits in the summer of 2002, with the signing of the Machakos protocol in July 2002. There has been a de facto cease-fire in the South since the end of 2002. The Comprehensive Peace Agreement was signed in January 2005
The NPA programme in Southern Sudan has these main components:
- Food Security & Rural Livelihoods
- Humanitarian Mine Action
- Health & Medical Training
- Development Programme
