Provision of emergency health services  to IDPs and vulnerable populations  affected by cholera outbreak in Tonj North, Warrap state, South Sudan World Vision South Sudan (WVSS) will contribute to the reduction of preventable mortality andmorbidity through the provision of life-saving primary healthcare services to 10,976 vulnerable population (especially women amp girls), men and boys affected by armed- conflict in Tonj North. 
The population of Tonj North was estimated at 219,526 (May, 2017) and the 2016 SMART survey showed GAM rates of 12.4%, indicating a critical nutrition situation. Referencing the May 2017 IPC report, the former Northern Bahr el Ghazal state is facing severe food insecurity caused by high food prices and diminished household purchasing power. All counties except Aweil Center are experiencing emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity through July 2017. The interaction of starvation and disease cannot be overemphasized as it often leads to significant loss of life
With the SSHF Standard Allocation 2, WVSS will provide essential package of emergency health services to 10,976 beneficiaries. WV is targeting beneficiaries from the entire county of Tonj North.  This project will specifically target the most vulnerable, especially women and children under 5 (U5). During implementation of the project, WVSS will ensure that there is integration of health and nutrition services in order to achieve positive impact on the health outcomes of the target population. Since Tonj North is at high risk of cholera and other diseases outbreak, WVSS will leverage resources from ongoing WASH interventions to ensure synergy and complementarity of health and WASH services for cholera preparedness and response targeting beneficiaries in Tonj North. Health workers and CHWS will be trained in disease surveillance, early identification and reporting and effective case management. 
Due to increased GAM and SAM rates in Tonj North, it is estimated 30% of SAM cases will require inpatient management for SAM with medical complications. This project will ensure that all SAM cases with medical complications are adequately managed and referred on time to the stabilization centers for timely and quality treatment. 
It is noteworthy that routine immunization coverage in Tonj North is low. For example, in May 2017, the routine immunization coverage was BCG (36%), OPV (32%), Penta 3 (29%) and Measles (60%), all below the recommended 80% coverage that effectively protects children against common childhood diseases like measles and TB, which contribute to childhood morbidity and mortality. WVSS will therefore invest in community based health and outreaches to provide emergency immunization targeting children under five in the communities.
Finally, WVSS has ongoing funding through Health Pooled Fund (HPF) that focuses on health system strengthening with an emphasis on maternal child health and nutrition which is currently being implemented in Tonj North. This project will work with the MoH staff and HPF supported health workers and community health volunteers to enhance their technical capacity in disease surveillance, outbreak prevention, control and management, and health education.
