MAF’s peace-promoting planes are helping the aviation organisation’s partners to visit some of the most war-torn regions in South Sudan.

According to the UN, the first five months of 2020 saw a 220% increase in incidents of intercommunal violence in South Sudan’s Jonglei State compared with the same period two years ago.

So, as part of its ongoing commitment to the country’s development, MAF transports teams from the Peacebuilding Opportunities Fund (POF) to some of South Sudan’s most violent areas.
