Integrated, safe and dignified access to FSL, GBV protection and Peace building programming for IDP. The current scale and coverage of the humanitarian response in Upper Nile remains inadequate to meet humanitarian needs with 47.8 percent of its total population in emergency humanitarian catastrophe.  Insecurity, with inter-communal violence has caused displacements, death and suffering of people with adverse impacts on women, children, elderly persons and people with disabilities. The insecurity also interrupted livelihood activities particularly agriculture production, fishing and domestic livestock productions.  Upper Nile State was much affected by the conflict which displaced 147, 450 individuals from Malakal town in 2014. The people have been camping at POCs located at the outskirt of Malakal town and some were displaced to various locations and even to foreign Counties. People in the POCs have completely been depending on relief foods from the WFP. FAO and other organizations have been implementing FSL, protection and peace building interventions in Malakal and its nearby Counties/Payams. However, the gap has been widened by the influx of returnees who were displaced by the conflict.  They are currently reoccupying Malakal town and its surrounding villages after having lost all their livelihoods. The IDPs in POCs sites receive insufficient relief food which does not at all cover their diverse dietary needs and no sustainable food security impacts benefited from it. 
Living conditions of IDPs, returnees and host community populations are exposed to risks, deepened by the inaccessibility or lack of farm inputs, poor agronomic and post-harvest handling practices and in agricultural extension services, inadequate protection services and mistrust among communities in Malakal County. In addition, there remain significant protection concerns in Malakal due to inter-communal conflict inflicting fears to return to abandoned residents in Malakal town. Proximity of military cantonments and existence of landmines in most parts of the town are also protection concerns. Protection risks including intercommunal violence, recruitment, psychosocial distress, and exploitation are factored in this intervention. Community awareness and sensitization in peaceful approaches are needed when integrating the communities and when organizing them for implementation of the project.
Strengthening food self-sufficiency for 3200 people and empowering women to improve social status in This project will be implemented by both TOCH and CDOR and will cover selected payams of Yirol East county in former Lakes State. TOCH have been operational in Yirol East since 2015. CDoR has been operating for more than 15 years in Yirol East. The project will take a nexus approach, combining both humanitarian, development and peace approaches to address food insecurity, strengthened by improved coping mechanisms for women and girls, and safe water access. This project will enable communities, directly affected by conflict and displacement, to do this again. The project will equip communities with climate sensitive agroecological skills, tools and technology for long term food security beyond humanitarian food aid. An agroecological approach will help build on traditional knowledge; context specific practices that regenerate the environment, improve biodiversity, increase resilience to shocks and manage pests at low or zero cost to farmers, combined with tools and seeds to increase productivity and production of diverse foods. 
A survivor-centered women’s empowerment focused approach will support women to secure their safety and wellbeing, to enable them to recover, and provide for their families and become food secure. To tackle poor access to safe water and poor hygiene and sanitation practices in the community the project will provide safe water through borehole repair, establishing water user committees and training pump mechanics and distribution of sanitation items along with hygiene messaging. These activities will complement food production activities by improving health, absorption of nutrients, and productivity.  Peacebuilding committees will work to promote peaceful resolution of conflicts, peaceful coexistence and negotiate access to communal resources, in turn helping to better ensure food security measures are well received and sustainable. WUC’s will work to resolve water point access issues or conflict.
Support to purchase Project vehicle for CTP funded projects. CTP is working with TOCH to implement Caritas Norway and ISCP projects in Gogrial East and West.

The project will continue to meet protection needs through Gender Based Violence (GBV) case management, strengthening referral pathways and psychosocial support groups.
Resilient and Flourishing Communities in Dethwok & Lul Payam of Fashoda County Lul and Dethwok payams of Fashoda County in Upper Nile State were heavily affected by the violence of the last months of 2022. The population in Lul payam fled the area amidst killings, torturing and rape. Severe gender-based violence violations were committed. Dethwok payam was not directly reached by the violence but the inhabitants fled when fighting came close. After a military intervention by the Central Government in December 2022, fighting stopped in Fashoda County. At the beginning of 2023 the local population gradually started to go back to their home areas in Dethwok and Lul payams. However, the returnees face several challenges. 
Dethwok Payam of Fashoda has 10 Bomas  (Ashak, Coshang, Alel, Dethwok, Othurshok, Pabiew, Borbak, Malo, Abenyai, and Atar) with an estimate population of 800 HHs (estimated 4,800 individuals) after recent displacement. According to the community leaders and local authorities in Dethwok Payam, most of the community was displaced to Kodok town and some to Melut County. Currently, the community is voluntarily returning to Dethwok Payam. The area is surrounded by floodwater, with Dethwok St. Ambrose catholic church is on Island where there are no sanitation facilities or protected water sources for people to use.

The Estimate Population of Lul payam is 24,360 individuals (4,060HH). Some of these people got displaced to Malakal and Kodok during the recent clashes in November and December 2022. However, many of them have started to return to their villages and they are in dire need of support to rebuild their lives and livelihoods,
Phase VIII Multi sectoral emergency response for IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Yirol East This will project build on CTP's Multi-sectoral Response programme supported by Irish Aid and others since 2017/18. The overall goal is to save lives, reduce suffering, maintain and protect human dignity. Ongoing programme surveys, HRP 2021, Yirol WASH Project Review Jun 2021, HPP Light Internal Review Nov 21 and HPP External Evaluation 2021 and the 2017 HPP and 2018 HPP Reviews show that humanitarian needs continue to be widespread and multi sectoral response is required to save lives. The project takes a nexus approach, combining humanitarian, development and peace approaches to address food insecurity, strengthened by improved coping mechanisms for women and girls, and safe water access. This project will equip communities with climate sensitive agroecological skills, tools and technology for long term food security beyond humanitarian food aid. An agroecological approach builds on traditional knowledge including context specific practices that regenerate the environment, improve biodiversity, increase resilience to shocks and manage pests at low or zero cost to farmers, combined with tools and seeds to increase productivity and production of diverse foods. A survivor-centred and women’s empowerment focused approach will support women to secure their safety and wellbeing, enabling them to recover, provide for their families and become food secure. In line with the Inter-Agency GBViE Minimum Standards (2019), the project provides specialised GBV case management, women’s and girls’ safe spaces, PSS, referral systems, dignity kits and socio-economic supports through access to livelihoods and VSLA to women and girls in Yirol East. To tackle poor access to safe water and poor hygiene and sanitation practices in the community, the project will provide safe water through borehole repair, establishing WUCs and training pump mechanics and distribution of sanitation items along with hygiene messaging.
Appeal for Humanitarian Assisstance The food security situation in South Sudan continues to deteriorate since the outbreak of fighting in December 2013.  The humanitarian crisis have spiralled with more than three million people fleeing the conflict and seeking refuge in neighbouring countries and others as Internally Displaced Persons.
According to the recent September integrated food security phase classification (IPC) findings in the Republic of South Sudan analysis, an anticipated earlier than normal start of the lean season will result in an estimated 5.2 million people will face worse acute food insecurity between January and March 2019. However, there is greatest concern in counties where harvests are likely to be poor and possible returns from within and outside of the country may cause further pressure on already scarce resources. As a result, extreme levels of acute food insecurity are expected to persist in many areas. This calls for immediate and unhindered provision of humanitarian assistance (South Sudan IPC, 2018).
Caritas South Sudan will coordinate with its stakeholders such CIMO in country, government authorities represented by the Relief and rehabilitation commission, beneficiaries in the proposed sectors: food security and livelihoods, non-food items (NFI), peace and reconciliation. The Confederation will be regularly updated on the implementation progress the Baobab and Caritas Africa website.
 The newly signed revitalized peace agreement by the political antagonizing parties in South Sudan will result in to massive return of people from both outside and within the country to their areas of origin. However, the proposed three-year appeal plans to serve 123,727 individuals for a total budget of 5,631,523 Euros in lifesaving and community resilience.
Improving Food, Nutrition & Livelihoods Security of women and men, including PLWHA in Maban County “This is a CTP (CAFOD and Trocaire in Partnership) project”.  The project will support IDPs and also host communities who are located near the IDP sites by distributing seeds and tools to enable them to meet their short term food requirements during the rainfall season. This is expected to ensure that the affected targeted group is able to improve their food security situation, by consuming the harvests and also sale if there are surplus. The short term project,4 month project will enable CDO Staff with support from CTP to procure, distribute, provide basic training and monitor the project outputs. CTP will provide PCM accompaniment support to CDO to ensure that the minimum project implementation standards are met. CTP will also the project inputs from Juba and also support in the delivery of the inputs to Maban.
Emergency Support to the Catholic Priests, Sacred Heart Sisters and the Bishop of Malakal Diocese This project is aimed at extending humanitarian assistance to the Catholic priests, Sacread Heart Sisters and the Apostolic Administrator of the diocese of Malakal who have deserted the diocese due to the recent political crisis that had hit the country.
Support for Caritas South Sudan Emergency Appeal EA 01-2018 Political instability and sustained violence have been pervasive in South Sudan for its six years of independence. The resumption of widespread fighting leaves civilians at risk of further mass crimes, particularly during the dry season when troops are more mobile. According to the UN Office for Humanitarian Coordination (UN OCHA), political conflict, compounded by economic woes and drought, has caused massive displacement, violence and dire food shortages. 4.8 million People are in need of aid, and by March 2018, 5.1 million people are estimated to continue facing hunger. 

 South Sudan in 2017 experienced famine which the UN Humanitarian Coordinator for South Sudan called it a "man-made" situation. According to the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), more than 194,000 people have fled to Uganda since the start of 2017.  At least 50,000 people were killed and more than 1.5 million people have fled South Sudan since December 2013. An additional 2.1 million people remain internally displaced.

The fiscal deficit, inflation and parallel market premium have all gone up, this macroeconomic collapse has severely affected the livelihood of many South Sudanese, Urban poverty jumped from 49% in 2015 to 70% in 2016 with wages losing their purchasing power, white colour workers and other employees have been driven to poverty in after not paid for months. Deficits associated with the war and with security spending have been financed by printing money.

 The monetization   of the fiscal deficit by the Bank of South Sudan explains the country’s high inflation. The rate of inflation peaked at 550% in September 2016. The pace of printing of money has slowed in recent months, so inflation decelerated to 102% during September 2016–September 2017 (Consumer Price index for South Sudan published by the National Bureau of Statistics in November 2017). 

Notwithstanding the recent down tend, galloping inflation continues to put many households in both urban and rural areas in a stressful situation because they are unable to afford even the minimum food basket.
