Access to lifesaving  child protection services to IDP children and families  in Bor South (static response) and in priority locations of South Sudan through integrated protection mobile teams Bor South and its surrounding islands is among locations facing protracted humanitarian crisis in South Sudan. Recent needs assessments underscore the criticality for accelerating child protection response services and preparedness in the likelihood of inter-tribal conflicts and child abduction activities that will likely result in future large scale displacement at the periphery of Bor town, Jalle, Maar and surrounding islands of Kuei, Ziam-Ziam, Panlueth, Biol, and Panakok in North Bor as well as in Kolnyang (Malek) and Gemeiza islands in South Bor, respectively where these IDPs are concentrated currently (Integrated CPRA Report and Inter-Agency Fact Finding reports July 2017). This population displacement has exacerbated family stresses, disrupted normal patterns of living and crumbled social support systems exposing children to protection threats including widespread separation of families, risks of child recruitment and use by armed forces/groups, sexual violence, child marriages, harsh forms of child labour and exploitation against children. Children have been forced to flee all that is familiar to them and have experienced violence, fear and loss. Estimated IDP population in the surrounding islands of North Bor and South Bor are approximately 25,970 individuals, with 70% as children. 
The interventions proposed in this project will focus on enhancing access to lifesaving family tracing and reunification services in line with best interests of the child, including emergency alternative family-based interim care arrangements for children without parents and support them through direct material and referral services. The project will also ensure provision of child friendly recreational and informal learning opportunities for crisis affected children through community based pyschosocialpsychosocial support approaches, working with caregivers and integrating prevention and response messages on CP risks and services into WASH, Nutrition, and Health/cholera outreach and awareness activities. Unaccompanied children and other vulnerable children will also be protected from violence and violations through CP Help Desks in the community.

Humanitarian access remains limited due to insecurity in most parts of the country, especially in counties such as Uror, Nyirol, Duk, Akobo, Fashoda, Nasir, Guit, Magwi, Kajo-keji, Terekeka, Yei, Lainya, Tonj North and Tonj East which have witnessed recent populations displacements (SSHF SA2 Allocation Strategy June 2017). Given resource constraints and humanitarian access challenges in these areas and others, emergency mobile teams are essential to immediately reach populations and respond to the needs of those fleeing during transit and after displacement.
Integrated protection mobile teams (IPMT) will be deployed and coordinated by the Protection Cluster to provide services to newly displaced population in hard to reach locations. CINA staff will take part in these IPMTs to provide assistance and services to affected children. The IPMT mission interventions will include needs assessments/context analysis, frontline CP response where there are no partners, and surge capacity to support CP actors on ground overwhelmed by a given emergency or crisis. The dedicated IPMT CP services in the acute stage will include referral for emergency healthcare, nutrition and food distribution, identification, documentation and immediate tracing of unaccompanied minors, emergency alternative care for unaccompanied children, and provision of Psychological First Aid (PFA)/Psychosocial Support (PSS), risk mitigation, coordination and advocacy. These will be adapted to the context based on the availability of services and particular needs. Two teams of three staff will be deployed (usually in different locations) for 2 week missions over the course of this 6-month allocation.

CINA has institutional capacity and presence in Jonglei (with main office in Bor) since 2011 and is currently implementing CPiE program
