Expertise
Evidence grounded in the sector and the wider system
A sector assessment cannot be separated from context. ERC's capability areas reflect the connected questions that shape humanitarian and development decisions in South Sudan.
Capability areas
Health and Nutrition
Health and nutrition needs, behaviours, service conditions, facility questions, and programme performance.
WASH
Water needs, sanitation and hygiene conditions, service access, water quality questions, and behaviour.
Education
Education needs, learning conditions, achievement questions, school safety, and protection.
Food Security and Livelihoods
Food security, vulnerability, livelihoods, resilience, and household economic conditions.
Protection and Peacebuilding
Protection risks, gender and inclusion, conflict sensitivity, social dynamics, and peacebuilding questions.
Shelter and NFI
Shelter vulnerability, non-food item needs, gaps, coverage, and post-distribution questions.
Climate and Environment
Climate vulnerability, adaptive capacity, environmental considerations, and resilience priorities.
Cash and Markets
Market conditions, prices, cash feasibility, minimum expenditure questions, and the systems that affect access.
Many decisions cross sector boundaries
A household's experience of health, food security, displacement, markets, climate, protection, and services is interconnected. ERC can design studies that preserve sector depth while examining the relationships that matter to the decision.
