Rapid integrated protection interventions to emergency locations in South Sudan NP continues to strongly advocate for and conduct robust protection assessments to enable timely and appropriate emergency programming to the worst-affected populations. Building on information gathered from different sources triangulated to identify risks on the ground and scale of the protection needs, NP aims to rapidly mobilise quick interventions to deploy an IPMT to assess profiles of affected populations, highlighting protection risks and identifying the most critical needs. Throughout the project duration of 6 months, NP aims to carry out 6 mobile missions, 1) Preparatory phase, team will consult with the Protection Cluster (PC), confirm assessment locations, contact partners on ground if present and arrange all logistical aspects e.g. security and access negotiations. The preparatory phase may include coordination with WFP for response in critical locations to extend explicit protection mainstreaming surge capacity to these missions. 2) Rapid assessment deployment of 3-5 days based on scope and scale of the area and population covered. This will include Focus Group Discussions, Key Informant Interviews and Direct Observation amongst other methodologies to identify major protection risks, in general protection, SGBV and CP. Where applicable, NP will conduct rapid service mapping, safety audits, to identify gaps and either advocate for a scale-up in these services or advocate for more in-depth cluster-specific assessment informed by relevant protection concerns. Preliminary findings will be shared with PC to inform the first frontline response. 3) Immediately following the assessment short-term life-saving response of 1-2 weeks to respond to most pressing gaps identified with the objective of increasing the safety and security of civilians at imminent risk of violence, including GBV, exploitation and neglect. This may include safety planning, post-incident support, information dissemination on services and key GBV, CP topics as well as establishment or strengthening of GBV and CP referral pathways in line with the guidance from sub-clusters. This will be achieved through proactive and deterrent patrols, protective accompaniments, hotspot mapping, sharing information on services and referrals and raising awareness on fundamental protection concerns. Whenever possible NP will aim to strengthen community capacity for protection and response to violence with brief/high impact training sessions, workshops on rumour control, early warning early response, SGBV and CP awareness. 4) De-briefing in Juba to articulate an analysis of all the information gathered, produce and disseminate respective assessment and response reports to the PC and relevant partners. Preliminary findings will be shared with the PC within 48 hours of return of the IPMT, as an interim report, to support and inform frontline response across sectors. In the event of an immediate follow-up response the IPMT endeavours to share preliminary findings with the PC within 48 hours of finalizing assessment activities while still in the field. The IPMT is composed of a Team leader and 5 protection officers with expertise in GBV and CP, who count on lessons learnt from previous deployments under SSHF as well as other projects providing technical support and coordination on GBV and CP activities to other IPMT partners At Juba level there is GBV and CP support structure i.e. NP’s Protection Advisor and Women’s Protection Advisor will ensure activities are carried out in a way that satisfies NP and international technical standards and NP will engage with cluster and sub-cluster for further guidance and support. NP will commence proposed project on 20/09/2018 to avoid overlap between the project funded under the 1st allocation and provide continuity to the existing team that will be complemented with additional requirements related to integration of GBV and CP personnel and activity, as outlined in the proposal.
