Re-Building Justice and Peace Desk at SCBC Level Justice and peace commission was set up in 1999 by Sudan Bishops’ plenary mandating Justice and Peace department to handle national Justice and peace issues and to coordinate with Justice and peace departments at the diocesan levels in awareness creation on Justice and peace issues as well as civic education through Training of Trainers (TOT) and giving legal advice.
In the South Sudan Bishops conference held on the 3rd February 2014, the National Justice and Peace department has been declared an independent body from Caritas South Sudan to be under the South Sudan Bishops Secretariat.

In principle all dioceses in South Sudan have Justice and peace department with range of different activities from one diocese to another. Currently out of the seven dioceses only Rumbek diocese have not yet Justice and Peace department operational but Wau, Tombura-Yambio, Malakal, Juba, Torit and Yei are operational.

The proposed three year funding basically is to meet the cost of Salaries, programme activities and Logistic of the Coordinator and the two staff to help rebuild this important work at this crucial moment South Sudan is undergoing.

Multi-Sector Emergency Response for IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Yirol East County of Lak This is the CTP Operational Budget for support of the Partner Project with Caritas Diocese of Rumbek in Yirol East (SSD107).

The situation in South Sudan remains one of the world's biggest humanitarian crises since the escalation of differences between SPLA and SPLA-IO. While there is no active conflict In Lakes State, some counties of the state such as Yirol East County that border Unity and Jonglei States are affected by insecurity and have received a number of IDP influxes. This conflict which has since transitioned into an inter-ethnic conflict, has resulted in the internal displacement of an estimated 11,627 people (2,269 households) living in 4 payam areas of Yirol East County; Malek, Adior, Pagarau and Lekakudu. The population of Yirol East is estimated at 67,402; with about 90% of them leaving in rural areas (NPA livelihoods baseline survey, Oct 2014).   The effect and impact of this conflict on the displaced persons in their areas of origin was mostly in form of threat to and loss of lives, deprivation of social protection and rights, psycho-social trauma due to fear and torture (through various forms of abuses), the loss, destruction their livelihood assets (importantly livestock) and disruption of their livelihoods e.g. pastoralism, fishing and crop farming systems. CTP’s recent assessment revealed that 90% of the IDP and host communities access water from unprotected water sources. Insufficient hand pumps coupled with lack of ownership and/or poor management of existing water points has resulted in poor access to safe water supply. The assessment also shows that the average per capita water use is very low with households spending up to 4 hours travelling to and queuing at the nearest water point, posing protection concerns especially for women such as random attacks, sexual violence and abduction of children.  Latrine coverage and hygiene knowledge are extremely low as evidenced by unsafe disposal of human excreta and poor hand washing practice at critical times. 
A total of 800 households (80% IDPs and 20% extremely vulnerable hosts) will be targeted for this particular project. 800 households (extremely vulnerable) will be targeted for monthly cash-for-food transfers using a food vouchering system) over a period of 6 months. 800 HH will be targeted for provision of WASH NFIs (jerry cans, buckets, and laundry and toilet soaps) and Cooking NFIs (sauce pans, cups, plates/bowls, spoons etc.).  500 HH will be targeted for communal latrines (10 HH per latrine block, 2 stances disaggregated to male and female), and 800 HH will be provided with clean and safe water supply.
Value Chain Analysis and Participatory Market System Development of Groundnuts Production in Gogrial The project will complement the ongoing projects being implemented by the Local Partner TOCH by meeting the funding gaps identified during the annual project review meeting and additional needs identified during project implementation.  Through this funding request, CTP proposes to engage a consultant who will conduct a thorough value chain analysis of groundnuts. This will also include market chain analysis of groundnut production in Gogiral East. The findings and recommendations of the analysis shall provide guidance to CTP to engage a Facilitator who will training our Local Partner (ToT ) on participatory market systems development in ground nut production. Cascade trainings shall be provided to Farmer Groups and Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA). The training will also include mentoring the groups in understanding the key market actors in the ground nuts value chain.
SCC People to People Peace Forums This is a 2-year project that Sudan Council Of Churches will embark on to promote conflict transformation and reconciliation in Southern Sudan and in the transitional regions of Southern Kodofan (Abyei & Nuba mountains), and southern Blue Nile as well as in Nothern Sudan by engaging the conflict-affected regions and communities in dialogue.  The council through the proposed peace project will convene peace-building and reconciliation forum initiatives at the state, political leadership, church leadership and grassroots levels to engage different parties in the process of dialogue aimed at reconciling the different groups to forge necessary peace and co-existence during and in the post referendum era. This process has already been kick started by convening of Kajiko II forum that comprised of senior church leadership & represnetatives and senior GoSS and State leadership as well as officials across the region. This is set to be followed by 12 regional conferences of which 20 Community Peace Committees are expected to be formed to promote and sustain peaceful relationships within and between the ethnic groups and provide them with an opportunity to reconcile and to develop agreements that will empower them to live together in peace. Inter faith forums will constitute part of these forums. CAFOD is committed to supporting the process by contributing towards these initiatives.
Enhancing Press Freedom and Expression in South Sudan To this date, the country is being run on a transitional constitution with insufficient laws and legislations to govern different sectors and operations. This is at the backdrop of challenges of relationships with the Sudan, border issues, security concerns as a result of proliferation of small arms, human rights violations and impunity, poor social infrastructure, high illiteracy rates, diseases and malnutrition and the absence of the rule of law among others. 

Exacerbated by its historical and geographical isolation, the period of heightened tensions between South Sudan and Sudan, and internal episodic violence, the legacy of economic underdevelopment and institutional deficits have greatly contributed to the fragility of the country. Just as many South Sudanese were settling to embarked on development, the events leading up to December 2013 conflict saw a new wave of ethnically motivated violence and mass killing across the country especially in the states former Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity, grossly dissipating the already weak service delivery and human rights in the country.
A midst all these crisis, the press freedom and expression is adversely infringed by various state actors within the country. Both citizens and the practicing journalists have come to the realization of a narrowing space for press freedom and expression. These project targets, senior government officials and middle class citizens to get engaged to understand that press freedom and expression are fundamental rights. The project beneficiaries are journalists and the general public that are stakeholders in governance and democratic transformation of South Sudan
Emergency WASH Assistance to Conflict Affected IDPs and Refugees in South Sudan This 12 month proposed water, sanitation and hygiene project is part of a larger emergency response programme whereby
CAFOD and its local partner Catholic Diocese of Tombura-Yambio (CDTY) deliver much needed food, non-food items, basic
shelter, water and sanitation, education and emergency health services for households affected by the continuing LRA crisis
in Western Equatoria State. The programme also provides support to strengthen the systems of the CDTY to ensure more
sustainable organisational capacity for effective programmes delivery in future. The proposed intervention will build on the
existing emergency programme run by CAFOD and CDTY which was supported through the Caritas Internationalis Appeal
EA30 2009 and received ECHO funding (ECHO/SDN/BUD/2009/01061) for the watsan component. The wider emergency
response programme has already received funding support from the Caritas Network, Spanish Government, UNCIEF and
WFP.
Capacity strengthening for CTP and Partner staff. CTP is a partnership organization working with different national organizations in Lakes, Warrap, Central and Upper Nile states in South Sudan implementing multisectoral humanitarian and development programmes. CTP plans to conduct trainings for its partners and staff on disability inclusion into programmes based on the Washington group definitions and guidelines.  SADI refresher trainings has also been planned for our partners as part of inclusion and protection mainstreaming based on different humanitarian standards in all CTP interventions.
Trócaire E10% (& CAFOD)Emergency Food, WASH, PSS and GBV support for vulnerable households in Tonj. The project will target highly vulnerable households and individuals including women, older people, children, adolescents and young people, PLWD. IDP, households from host community hosting large number of IDPs and facing similar level of vulnerability, and individuals with low economic status who experience a greater level of risk. Children, women, and girls who lost or are separated from primary caregivers due to conflict are at increased risk of neglect, abandonment, health risks, violence, and exploitation, and are more likely to suffer mental health and psychosocial distress, and malnutrition; as such, they will be targeted for intervention. At least 10% of the targeted beneficiaries will be people living with disabilities. Targeting will be based on humanitarian principles of humanity and impartiality, to save lives and alleviate suffering with aid being provided based on need, in proportion to identified needs. 
A participatory and consultative approach will be used to agree targeting criteria that ensures the most vulnerable individuals/households are identified and benefit from this support, building on the methodology used in previous CTP interventions. Clear vulnerability criteria will be set and during the process. This project will target individuals/households highly exposed to life-threatening health, protection, and malnutrition risks since they are the one most affected by Acute Watery Diarrhoea, Acute Respiratory Infections, malnutrition, Gender Based Violence, and general protection issues. Cognisant of these facts, the households with malnourished children admitted to nutrition centres or supported through outreach therapeutic treatment will be supported through standard hygiene NFI kits and home takeaway food. This will also be supplemented with promotion of improved hygiene and sanitation measures.
Support for South Sudan Catholic Bishops-Secretariat The support that will be given by CTP for the secretariat will be used in the running of the day to day activities of the Bishops as this is the coordination office, provide services to caritas family in south Sudan, facilitate in organizing Bishops meetings which takes place twice a year. Facilitate the movement of the secretary General to other dioceses for support visits and meetings both in the dioceses and other meeting that proves to be very important for the benefit of the people of south Sudan.
Operational support for Multi sectoral emergency response in Gogrial and Yirol East. This project is to support the operational costs for Caritas Norway funded projects SSD233 (Gogrial) and SSD232 (Yirol).  The projects in question will adopt an integrated multisectoral approach that will focus on providing appropriate lifesaving relief support. This will include initiatives that help communities in transitioning to self-reliance and build resilience to reduce future vulnerability in Gogrial and Yirol East States. Focus will be on targeted humanitarian assistance, enhancing gender equality, improving protection needs of women, girls, boys and persons living with disability, psychosocial support, GBV case management, peace building, improving  participation of women in peace building dialogues and decision-making processes, WASH and building the resilience of communities to crises.
Ongoing conflict has given rise to many challenges in South Sudan, not least food insecurity and displacement. Women and girls are affected in particular, with protection issues and sexual and gender-based violence faced by many women, who are disproportionately affected by conflict. This is true in Gogrial and Yirol East, the proposed project locations of this intervention. A multi-pronged approach is required to address the challenges. Women, men, girls and boys require lifesaving interventions to meet their food, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene needs and to build resilience to reduce future vulnerability.
Phase VI Multi-Sector Response for IDPs and Vulnerable Host Communities in Yirol East, Lakes State The ongoing conflict has given rise to many challenges in South Sudan, not least food insecurity and displacement. Women and girls are affected in particular, with protection issues and sexual and gender-based violence faced by many women, who are disproportionately affected by conflict. This is true in Yirol East, the proposed project location of this intervention. A multi-pronged approach is required to address the challenges. Women, men, girls and boys require lifesaving interventions to meet their food, protection, water, sanitation and hygiene needs and to build resilience to reduce future vulnerability. CTP, in line with our commitment to localisation, with its local partners who are respected by local people, authorities, and those on all sides of the conflict, are well placed to intervene and respond to the immediate needs of such communities. Host and IDP households will be targeted based on needs and identified by local committees made up of host and IDP women who are best placed to identify those in need. Households selected will be verified through public validation meetings and community agreement. Based on assessments, households will be provided with food and non-food items, trained in agriculture and empowered to increase economic capacity, communities will be equipped with psychosocial support skills and empowered with access to safe water sources. Those implementing the project will be trained on key principles such as Core Humanitarian Standards on quality and accountability, and a do no harm approach. Women and girls will be empowered to engage in decision making and the project will work with communities to improve their protective environment. The programme will work within the principles of humanity, impartiality, independence and neutrality in order to save lives, alleviate suffering and protect human dignity in South Sudan. This SCIAF funding will contribute towards the provision of vegetable and standard seeds for farming households and provision of emergency food rations which is an extension to the Phase V response to the still critical food security situation in Yirol East. Primary focus will be given to pre-existing groups, such as the Women’s Groups, as they are already part of community structures and are most active – working through such groups allows cooperation and the sharing of resources, and is a move towards greater community resilience. CTP will implement this project through Caritas Diocese of Rumbek.
Operational project for Caritas Norway funded projects SSD274 and SSD275 respectively This project is raised to support the delivery of CN projects for 2022/2023 financial year.  Caritas Norway is supporting a 4 year projects in Gogrial and Yirol East, currently in it 3rd year.  The projects are designed to target highly vulnerable households and individuals including poor female headed households, households with persons living with disability, those with low income, and the most food insecure with malnourished children in Gogrial East & West of Warrap State. Women and youths will be at the center of this project.  Targeting will be based on humanitarian principles of humanity and impartiality to save lives and alleviate suffering with aid being provided based on need, in proportion to identified needs. To achieve this, the CTP protection and safeguarding framework will be used which considers safety, meaningful access, dignity and inclusivity.  A participatory and consultative approach will be used to agree targeting criteria that ensures the most vulnerable individuals/households are identified and benefit from this support, building on the methodology used in previous CTP interventions. The project will target at least 10 percent of the beneficiaries based on the membership of person living with disabilities. After setting out the criteria, women groups containing 5 members each are established as targeting committees (3 from host, 2 from IDP HHs) in different locations. These committees will identify and present a list of potential beneficiaries who meet the criteria. Following this, mass verification and validation will be conducted. The final list will be presented and posted at community level for further verification as well as to give an opportunity for residents to raise any grievances which will be handled in accordance with locally established complaints handling mechanisms. The process promotes active participation, inclusiveness and ownership of the project by the community.
Dinka Agar Internal Cattle Migration Process. In November 2020, the Dinka Agar five sections sat and discussed how to regulate cattle movement to toc (grazing lands). Cattle movement and claim of toc ownership has been the root causes of many intra-communal conflicts across the Dinka Agar.
The gelweng leaders and traditional leaders have identified the unregulated cattle movement as the primary trigger of intra-communal conflict between the Dinka Agar sections. In November 2020, the internal cattle migration conference concluded with resolutions that would regulate the cattle movement, including an agreement to perform a ritual that marked the migration to toc. However, the monitoring committee could not be formed due to the lack of state government, leading to the agreement violation. The progress of the 2020 migration season needs to be consolidated in the 2021 season, building on the lessons of the first cycle.
The proposed approach will be through:
- Engaging those directly responsible for initiating violence: the risks of engagement with armed actors need to be overcome.
- Working through traditional structures, practices and leadership: prioritising and valuing traditional conflict management mechanisms at the community level.
- Keeping the external politics at the appropriate distance: maintaining an authorising environment through engagement with elites and government, keeping them updated, and maintaining ownership at the community level.
- Working with trusted local partners: taking time to understand and triangulate the dynamics of the local actors, then working closely alongside those who can facilitate entry points.
- Capturing experiences and learning: ensuring that challenges are not dismissed, but documented, discussed and any adaptations and lessons moving forward are made explicit and then operationalised.
Operational support for Covid19 response in Juba, South Sudan This project is raised to support the response to COVID19 in Juba, South Sudan. South Sudan’s first confirmed case of COVID-19 was on 5 April 2020, by 24 July 2020 cases had surged to 2,258 with 45 deaths. Cases are reported from 16 out of 78 counties, with Juba, being most affected. Insufficient testing limits the ability to accurately assess the scope of the pandemic . COVID-19 infections are expected to increase significantly and more significantly impact urban poor and IDP camp residents due to factors including high density living conditions (preventing social distancing and making isolation difficult), levels of risk awareness and adoption of prevention and control practices are low, access to WaSH and health care facilities are low and prevalence of existing health conditions (including malaria, diarrhoea), food insecurity and malnutrition is high, particularly at this time of year. The elderly, people with disabilities and women carers (higher exposure risk) are particularly vulnerable, with women more likely to be health workers, community mobilisers or IDPs. CAFOD will implement the project with its local implementing partner Titi Foundation. The project will be implemented in Juba city and strive to deliver safe, accessible, and dignified COVID-19 risk communications, protection services, and food security, as well as foster and enable good hygiene, and sanitation practices for the most vulnerable. The overall programme design and implementation will be guided and underpinned by accountability, protection mainstreaming, inclusive and conflict sensitive approaches. This response plan is designed in line with the revised Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) of South Sudan, developed taking COVID-19 risk into account.
