Scope of work

How CINA evolved: In 2009, the youth and students from Jonglei state based in Khartoum Sudan started a CBO, by the name of NYASA just before South Sudan Referendum in 2010 with the aim to mobilize South Sudanese citizens for South Sudan’s Referendum and the subsequent voting for Independence. However, to objectively respond to the effects of conflicts and crises in South Sudan, the name was changed to Community in Need Aid (CINA) in 2013 with a new mandate to save lives, protect dignity and develop resilience of children and families, youth and women from effects of conflicts and disasters. CINA then grew rapidly as a national NGO in South Sudan and the organisations is vibrantly committed to attaining sustainable socio-economic development built on community ownership, peaceful coexistence in diversity, women and youth empowerment, improved quality of life, illiteracy reduction and self-reliance.

CINA envisions a society where children and families prosper beyond conflicts and disasters.
