Area-Based Response: Lifesaving Humanitarian Response to Crisis Affected People in Al Kamleen Locality in Al Gazira State ltpgtltbrgtDue to the expansion of the conflict in Al Gezira state since December 2023 that has impacted access to the project location, the IRC has prioritized reprogramming the proposed intervention intended to provide integrated life-saving health, nutrition, and WASH services free of charge to recently internally displaced persons and vulnerable host communities in Al Gezira state to Gedaref state that has been receiving IDPs from Al Gezira and Khartoum states. Integrated health, nutrition, and WASH services will be delivered through a mobile clinic approach to ensure flexibility in reaching displaced individuals in Gedaref state, initially targeting IDPs in Al Rahad locality. This action will specifically target women, girls, boys, men, and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). The IRC will closely integrate protection services during this modification of the action to deliver holistic services to affected communities. The IRC will transition support to an already established mobile clinic with thenbspcapacity to deliver basic service packages of quality primary health care services, including management of communicable and non-communicable diseases, support reproductive, maternal, and child health services, including strengthening of an expanded program for immunization, mental health, and psychosocial support, as well as emergency referral services. Nutrition services will be closely integrated into the mobile clinic activities and will include screening for malnutrition at the service delivery points and, in the community, deliver treatment for severe and moderately acute malnutrition, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) counseling to pregnant and lactating women (PLW). The IRC will deliver services directly by deploying trained staff and supporting existing MoH efforts to deliver services through mobile clinic approaches. In addition, the IRC will engage one local partner, CAFA Development Organization, to deliver integrated mobile clinic services in a separate location under the supervision of IRC officers. The IRC has strong capacity to deliver integrated health, nutrition, WASH, and protection services in Sudan with current support, including strengthening the MoH capacity to deliver integrated health services in Gedaref, Khartoum, and Blue Nile states. Prior to the December 2023 conflict in Al Gezira state, the IRC had already successfully supported the implementation of integrated health, nutrition, and WASH services in Alkamleen PHC, which provided lifesaving services to IDPs and vulnerable host communities. Currently, the IRC is already supported delivery of integrated services through mobile clinic approaches in Gedaref under ECHO and SV-funded actions for the IDPs. Since 2019, the IRC has supported the delivery of integrated health, nutrition, protection, livelihoods, and WASH services, providing a one-stop center to deliver life-saving interventions to beneficiaries in a safe and dignified access way. The IRC health, nutrition, and WASH Technical Unit at the headquarters in NY, with regional representation in Nairobi, provide technical oversight and guidance for adapting quality health and nutrition standards, training, and technical supervision, including frequent field presence to support country teams. Furthermore, the IRC Country Program’s Health  Nutrition, WASH, and MEAL departments will support and monitor the implementation throughout the emergency response. IRC, in coordination with the SHF, cluster coordinators and sector leads, HAC, line ministries, and humanitarian partners, will ensure the delivery of the proposed emergency project throughout the implementation duration with regard to the protection of the affected population, cost-effectiveness and quality of services ltbrgtlt/pgt
