The European Union (EU) Delegation to South Sudan is one of the over 140 diplomatic missions representing the EU across the globe. The Delegation aims at strengthening EU-South Sudan relations by progressing peace, stability and development in South Sudan, in line with the values at the core of the Union’s foreign policy.  

The EU Delegation works with South Sudanese civil society and government counterparts, as well as EU member states and international and regional partners, in supporting the implementation of the Revitalised Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS).  

Progress on the implementation of the agreement will determine whether a more peaceful and stable South Sudan will emerge, with which the EU can build a long-term partnership for development cooperation and trade. At the same time, the EU works to address the challenges of the protracted humanitarian crisis and of chronic underdevelopment. This will continue to need a combination of humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable population, support for the delivery of basic services such as education and health, promotion of more self-reliant livelihoods besides transparent and democratic governance in the country. 

The EU Delegation to the Republic of South Sudan has about 40 staff, working in the following sections:

• The Office of the Ambassador.
• Political, Press & Information.
• Administration.
• Finance & Contracts.
• Cooperation.
• ECHO Humanitarian Aid Office.
