Envelope 2: Protection and Health Support to Displacement Affected Populations in Juba and Bentiu. The proposed project intervention intends to scale up the ongoing Gender Based Violence (GBV) and General Protection (GP) interventions in Juba IDP camps 1amp 3 supported by Irish Aid and UNHCR funding.

In response to the frequent and potential outbreaks, the project will also reinforce Early Warning, Alert and Response System (EWARS) reporting and training.
