Abstract
South Sudan has faced a civil war since 2013 involving two ethnic groups. This civil war resulted in the loss of 400,000 lives and forced a third of the country’s population to flee. The conflict has also disrupted education in South Sudan. This article aims to analyze the role of the international organization UNICEF as a norm entrepreneur in the field of education in South Sudan. This research uses a qualitative research method by conducting a literature study. The results found that UNICEF with the Back to Learning Initiative can change the views of the people of South Sudan about education, provide access to education to children who drop out of school, and improve the educational environment in South Sudan.
