Since the crisis begun in South Sudan, 1,311 unaccompanied, separated and missing children (55% boys and 45% girls) have been identified and registered by UNICEF partners and other Child Protection Sub-cluster members (Source – CPIMIS operated by Save the Children International with support from UNICEF). 23% of these children are unaccompanied and deemed to be the most vulnerable; 45% are separated from their families but do have an adult caregiver while 32% are registered as missing. To date, only 11% of these children have been reunified with their families following successful tracing. Family tracing remains challenging due to lack of access to some of the displaced populations and the absence of implementing partners. Efforts are underway to increase the use of mobile phones to establish and maintain family links.
