Enhance child protection prevention and Respones Mechanism in Juba Urban In response to the continued growing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, CCoC is proposing the following interventions to expand lifesaving Child protection response services to vulnerable populations (boys, Girls, women, men) in Juba Central Equatorial State. This proposed child protection project will continue to strengthen the resilience of Children, caregivers and their families as Children affected by conflict need to be assisted to use and rely on adequate coping mechanisms, which include developing self-confidence and expression of emotions. CCoC’s own experience testifies to post-traumatic distress occurring in high numbers in war-affected children. 
An integrated approach to ensure broad community psychosocial support to both children and their caregivers is critical to ensure children are adequately cared for in all aspects and CCoC’s ongoing effort through child friendly spaces will continue but this project will ensure they are more deeply rooted and owned by the community.
The complexity of the operating environment requires multi-layered approaches that are tailored to each location including: FTR, CB PSS, school bases PSS and maintaining a functional interim care Centre for UASC and most vulnerable children in need of Protection and emergency response services in Juba Central Equatorial State. The proposed six-month child protection in emergency intervention is designed to:  Foster families and community’s access to life saving child protection services i.e.
 FTR, case management process, Psychosocial support (PSS) services through CFS including Non CFS psychosocial support (CBPSS). Integrate protection monitoring and mainstreaming into the Child Protection in emergency actions to improve the overall context analysis and integration of protection principles in the intervention that will be scaled up to respond to the identified needs. 
Enhance understanding and analysis among staff and communities and other actors on the child protection context and needs. CCoC will utilize and increase on the existing internal emergency response capacity to staff and be able to provide timely, effective and efficient Child protection (FTR), PSS and ICC services for UASCs during the project period within a six-month response in Central Equatorial State. This will offer an opportunity to provide much needed CPiE humanitarian services in Juba IDP urban settlements to areas with limited child protection services and in addition, strengthen Child Protection interventions in Gumbo, Mahad, Lologo IDP camps and the Host communities in Juba city communities. 

The child protection intervention has been specifically designed to be integrated within CCoC’s existing child protection program in Juba City, which are aimed at strengthening community-based protection mechanisms (CBPM) and facilitate access to information and appropriate services.  Through existing Community Protection Committees (CPC) and children/Adolescent groups to facilitate the identification of and response to child protection concerns, the development of community-based mitigation plans, prevention messaging (e.g. on child abuse, Exploitation, early marriages etc.) and child protection surveillance mechanisms. In addition, the CBCPMs will identify and refer vulnerable children in need of individual support. 
Confident children out of conflict will continue to Operate in the 4-community based safe healing and PSS spaces for children that facilitate their recovery, restore a sense of normalcy, and promote their cognitive, physical, social and emotional development and provide parenting support. Youth engagement to provide peer support, recreational activities and referral to other multisector support services as an entry point to develop future intervention with school dropouts.
