Emergency Provision of WASH Support Interventions Among Most Vulnerable and Conflict Affected people (Men, Women, Girls and Boys) in former Magwi County The country is recovering from the longest running cholera outbreak in history (2016-2017) where a total of 20,438 cholera cases were reported with 436 deaths (case fatality rate of 2.13 per cent). 2018 protection Trends report indicate protection needs of boys and girls is exacerbated by conflict with women and girls continue to be at risk of sexual and gender based violence, while boys continued to face recruitment into armed groups (2018 Protection Trends Report UNICEF South Sudan 2017 Situation Report). 
 
The situation of vulnerable populations in Magwi has been further compounded by deteriorating economic conditions, deteriorating incomes and high food and commodity prices, with high prevalence of adoption of disruptive and non-reversible coping mechanisms.  These has subsequently resulted in overall prevalence of GAM rates of 8.6 – 11.7 95% C.I.) and the severe acute malnutrition (SAM) prevalence (WHZlt-3 and/or oedema) 2.3 – 4.1 95% C.I. (Urban Food Security Assessments, 2017).

The project aims at dealing with the root causes of active transmission of WASH related diseases including cholera where it will aim to contribute to the decrease of the transmission rates in addition to working closely with the health partners in addition to prioritizing safe water availability and community and household levels coupled with intensive hygiene promotion. The project will in addition address protection especially among women and girls who face GBV/ Sexual violence, a key protection concern while they walk for long distances in search for water among others.  

The project will target 4,000 households (24,000 beneficiaries) comprised of 4000 men, 4000 women, 8000 girls and 8000 boys, these include elderly (gt 60 years and those with disabilities/ special needs) amongst the most vulnerable emergency affected IDPs and host communities directly affected by the conflict. All these beneficiaries - boys, girls, youth, disabled and elderly will be empowered to participate in various thematic areas of the proposed activities. For example women and youth (mainly girls) will be prioritized in hygiene promotion and cholera preparedness activities, while men in borehole rehabilitations.

Community Aid for Relief and Development (CARD) has just successfully completed a 2017 (reached over 18,000 beneficiaries) second round SSHF emergency  projects in the Greater Equatoria and plans to sustain and scale up interventions due to increasing needs. CARD has been operating in this region for the past four years with established office presence in the targeted county. CARD has competent staff, logistics and community goodwill, in addition to having good relations with the host communities, local leaders, RRC officials and state/county ministries of Water and Irrigation, Agriculture and Animal Resources etc. These strong networks coupled with established local networks will be engaged and mobilized to rapidly implement the proposed activities.
ENHANCE GBV PREVENTION AND RESPONSE SERVICES FOR CONFLICT AFFECTED WOMEN AND GIRLS THROUGH WOMEN AND GIRLS FRIENDLY SPACES IN LEER TPA The overall aim of this project is prevention and provides life-saving interventions in relation to GBV in the humanitarian context thereby expanding access to GBV response services to conflict-affected populations and improving the quality of GBV response services. This project will also strengthen prevention and mitigation of GBV in Leer TPA. All these are in conformity with the Sub Cluster and cluster strategic objectives.
Please note that Women and Girls Friendly Spaces are for all females – not just GBV survivors- although these are spaces where survivors would feel comfortable presenting themselves and accessing services and support since it presents a safer venue to seek support in a more discrete manner and to avoid stigma. For GBV survivors, Women and Girls Friendly spaces offer direct access for referral, counseling and other GBV specific prevention and response programs. Project activities will include but not limited to Refresher training to community based caseworkers and focal points Referral pathways to access multi-sectoral support. Also utilize existing referral pathway to link survivors for services and create awareness on the existing referral pathways in the project locations Case management including Group activities: training, counseling, discussions, information-sharing, and awareness-raising among others. The project documentation will utilize GBV Case intake forms that will be stored in lockable shelves to ensure confidentiality. All these documents will be clearly labeled highly confidential and will only be accessed by authorized officers and maintained less than 24 hours lock and key. In the WGFS the element of double counting or double registration will be monitored and eliminated. The project will target 3200 women and 1200 girls from Host Communities and IDPs who are IDPs currently in Leer TPA.

Provision of Shelter and NFIs as a lifesaving response to the most in need IDPs, Returnees and Host community in area of Yei, Torit and Magwi county. The project primary focus is to support vulnerable communities and ensure that the most vulnerable persons are the center of humanitarian response. Needs assessment will continuously be conducted with support from other partners to understanding the gaps and social issues affecting vulnerable communities and triangulating these gaps/issues into programmes addressing the humanitarian needs. The project will assist communities in desperate need of NFI and shelter materials to provide immediate lifesaving support and improve their lives to cope with recurrent shock and build resilience.  In order to have effective and efficient response to the needs, Plan will continue to with its current mobile response in Central Equatoria and Eastern Equatoria states to reach many people who are in need of NFI and emergency shelter. This will include need assessments, mapping of communities, coordination meetings, mobilization of resources and community awareness and responding to the immediate needs of the population through a well-coordinated cluster approach.

The project will significantly contribute to addressing the shelter and NFI needs of 8,118 individuals (1,353 HHs, 6 individuals per HH) of the most vulnerable IDPs and affected residents. The NFI and Emergency Shelter project will support the most in need families and individuals thereby providing reasonable shelter by using locally available materials such as poles and bamboos combined with plastic sheet and NFI kits. The project will consider a consultative and collective approach with humanitarian and local actors in the design of vulnerability criteria to the identification and selection of the project beneficiaries. Gender integration will be a key determinant in the identification of the project beneficiaries.
Enhanced Community based gender based violence(GBV) prevention and response services for women,girls,boys and men in Ezo County. The overall project aim is contributing to strengthening prevention, mitigation and response to GBV issues as well as strengthening quality of care for GBV survivors. The project will be implemented in 2 payams in Ezo county (Ezo center and Yangiri) targeting mainly women and girls, however boys and men will also benefit from the project activities.

Providing Life-Saving GBV Prevention, Response and Risk Mitigation through well-staffed and Equipped Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSS) offering quality case management and Psycho-social support and strengthening Community Protection Networks in Magwi and Koch Counties. This project seeks to implement GBV prevention, response and risk mitigation activities by providing quality case management and psychosocial support to GBV survivors in 4 renovated and well equipped Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSS) supported by qualified case and social workers in Magwi and Koch specifically in Jaak, Petpet in Koch County in Unity State, Magwi town and Motoyo in Pageri Administrative Area in Magwi County in Eastern Equatoria state. To mitigate against SGBV risk associated with travel to collect firewood, this project proposes to train women and girls to make Fuel Efficient Stoves (FES) from locally available materials in Koch and Magwi. At inception, this project will conduct a rapid needs assessment to inform context specific and appropriate activities and WGSS locations to provide quality case management and psychosocial support for women and girls. To aid GBV survivors, CARE will collaborate with other partners offering a variety of services to conduct a service mapping and establish an integrated and coordinated GBV referral pathway. The project will additionally mobilize, sensitize and raise community awareness on GBV, how, where and what services are available within. This project will support women and girls to gain leadership skills to represent and advocate for their rights at family and community level. Four caseworkers will be hired to provide case management and basic psychosocial services while two social workers will support community outreaches and mobilization activities. The 2 Social Workers will be responsible for all GBV prevention-outreach related activities focusing on awareness-raising activities to community members in close collaboration with local partners' staff while the 4 Case Workers will be based at the 4 Women and Girl's friendly spaces and will provide psycho social support, case management and referral of survivors of gender based violence through individual counseling, follow up and referral mechanisms to other available services. Two project officers will be hired fully under this to support regular caseworkers and social workers at regular activities while a project manager will provide technical guidance and oversee implementation of this project in Magwi and Koch. As a signatory to the grand bargain commitment, CARE will endeavor to work in collaboration with national / local partners, with targeted capacity building through training, mentorship to local partners in Magwi like HLSS, CDI, WASI, in Magwi and Nile Hope, UNIDO and CHADO in Koch among others especially on case management and management of child survivors and psycho social support as well as GBV risk mitigation and retrospectively, incorporate key lessons learnt from their work.

EBOLA VIRAL DISEASE (EVD) EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE IN YEI RIVER STATE SOUTH SUDAN This proposal is a six months’ emergency preparedness and response to Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) in ten health facilities in four counties (Yei, Morobo, Lainya and Kajokeji) in Yei River State. The State and counties are selected due to  proximity and with porous borders to the Democratic Republic of Congo where Ebola outbreak is currently reported. The  project will cover from January to  to June  2019. It  will be implemented in collaboration with all partners  including other Implementing Agencies operating in Yie, Rapid Response Teams in the State, the National and State Forces relevant Technical Working Groups (TWGs) established to coordinate and guide the national and state level EVD preparedness and response.   AAHI proposes a budget of $250,000 to  operationalize the Yei Isolation Unit (being constructed by WFP) establish  ten holding sites to isolate suspected EVD cases until referral to the IU in Yei hospital  risk communication (public awareness on EVD prevention and alert) and to conduct  healthcare facility and community based surveillance activities aligned to  the Boma Health Initiative. 

Background:  The Ebola Viral Disease (EVD) outbreak was declared on 1st August 2018 in Northern Kivu and Ituri provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and as of 19th December 2018, a total of 560 (512 confirmed and 48 probable) cases have been reported of whom 336 (288 confirmed and 48 probable) have succumbed to the disease (Case Fatality Rate of 60%). The northern Kivu region borders four other provinces in Congo as well as Uganda and Rwanda. This  makes it rated as very high risky for South Sudan in terms of importation of EVD into the bordering countries. In Yei River state, border points like Jale/Afoji, Kaya, Birigo, Liwolo are major crossing points to/from Uganda while  Angebi, Senema, Ukaba, and Bazi are crossing points to/from  DRC. Moreover,  Yei Airstrip is a point of entry and transit point for flights from both within South Sudan and neighboring countries. These porous borders have uncontrolled movement of people especially refugees, internally displaced persons, traders and business people that could lead to increased risk of EVD spread in the event of any case or contact with a patient. As such South Sudan is among Priority 1 countries along with Rwanda, Burundi and Uganda as per WHO risk assessments to be on alert and establish EVD preparedness response plan particularly areas along the borders with cross border movements arising mainly due to insecurity and displacement of people. The prioritization was done based on their capacity to manage EVD and Viral Haemorrhagic Fever (VHF) outbreaks, and their connections and proximity to the areas currently reporting EVD cases.
Providing emergency shelter and NFI to protracted and newly IDPs affected by conflict and food insecurity through resilience strengthening and positive coping mechanisms in Unity, South Sudan This action seeks to ensure that vulnerable displaced and conflict affected populations in Rubkona and Koch counties in former Unity state, through access to basic Shelter and NFI assistance. The project will target newly displaced households with NFIs in Koch county and bordering limits while vulnerable protracted IDPs will be supported with transitional shelter construction in Bentiu town. The project activities will target an estimated 7,500 vulnerable IDPs (3,600 male and 3,900 female). The focus will be on newly and protracted displaced households with a key attention to support positive coming mechanisms and resilience strengthening. Among those, Concern, with support from local communities and protection partners, will identify the most vulnerable to shelter and NFI needs. Protection and gender considerations will be key in this identification and priority will be given to vulnerable female headed households. The response will aim to improve access to locally appropriate transitional shelter solutions through a combination of life-saving strategy of emergency NFI distribution through mobile response and mixed cash-based interventions (CBI) with owner-driven transitional shelter programming. 

The mobile response team will be providing emergency NFIs to acute vulnerability situation of newly displaced people in conflict-affected Koch county. With support from the shelter/NFI pipeline of the cluster, Concern team will deploy rapidly to provide life-sustaining NFI kits to population on the move in the area. The intervention will meet the most urgent needs of the population.

The developed shelter approach will aim to utilise local materials as much as possible i.e. grass for thatch roof, wooden poles as structure and lattice walls plastered with mud, to ensure sustainability and locally-driven solutions. The approach will be discussed and defined during community consultations. Through this participatory process the ultimate shelter design will be readily acceptable to the beneficiaries and easily adopted according to cultural norms. Concern field assessments and surveys have confirmed the local traders are able to respond to a controlled increase of demand for locally sources shelter materials.
Provision of emergency lifesaving ES/NFIs to most vulnerable IDPs, returnees and host communities affected by vicious cycle of conflict and protection threats in Upper Nile State. SSUDA is one of the S/NFI cluster partners actively providing emergency humanitarian services across Upper Nile.  Upper Nile is one of the most conflict affected regions since the war began in 2013 with multiple displacement experienced in almost all the counties with enormous S/NFI needs reported. Through this proposal SSUDA is seeking to support 7,000 most vulnerable people including children, men and women among the IDPs, returnees and host communities in Fashoda, Maiwut, Longochuk, in Upper Nile State. The counties are experiencing unprecedented displacement of people as a result of continued armed fighting and those returning back to their original homes from displacement areas in many parts of South Sudan. SSUDA will engage in participatory rapid (gender and age segregated) needs assessment and gender gaps analysis to determine level of vulnerability and identify the number and specific needs of men, women, children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities. A cash feasibility assessment will also be conducted in Longochuk and Maiwut to investigate whether a cash based intervention can be implemented in the two locations. The project plans to achieve Cluster objectives 1, 2, 3 and 4. By achieving the four key cluster objectives SSUDA, will as well address Strategic Objective 1, 2 and 3 of the Humanitarian Response Plan.  SSUDA will put more emphasis on local participation of beneficiaries as well as local authorities so that the whole cycle of this project intervention takes into account those affected by the project and their feedback. This ensures accountability to local beneficiaries and all the affected people.
