Increase Access to Emergency Lifesaving Nutrition Interventions to vulnerable under-five year children and PLWs in Yirol East County,  Eastern Lakes, South Sudan This project will support 3 OTPs, and 3 TSFPs in the three (3) newly established primary health care units/Mobile clinics run by LiveWell and they do not currently have nutritional services yet located in vital IDPs sites at Tinagau Payam, Geer IDPs in Nyang, and Pagarau IDPs in Yirol East County.
The Project will aim at increasing access to emergency lifesaving nutrition services to under-five years and PLWs living in IDPs and vulnerable communities in Yirol East. It will focus on prevent of malnutrition and treatment of uncomplicated SAM and MAM . The nutrition activities and indicators aligned to the lifesaving interventions per the Nutrition Cluster strategy and objectives for this allocation. The activities will be aligned and implemented as per nutrition cluster interventions package.
LiveWell will provide key interventions that are geared towards the a). Prevention of severe to moderate acute malnutrition at community level, b). Treatment of malnutrition per CMAM guidelines (MAM, SAM) and c). Appropriate referral for SAM with medical complications to Yirol Hospital where stabilization center is established. Overall the interventions are integrated with Health, WASH, Gender mainstreaming and other cross-cutting issues like HIV/TB etc. These essential interventions are aligned to nutrition cluster strategic objectives 1, 2, and 4 for this allocation.
The key activities in this project includes but limited to 
 Established 3 OTPs amp 3 TSFPs facilities to identify, and manage 491 SAM cases, and 685 MAM cases 
 Train over 9 CNVs on screening, defaulter tracing, and home visits.
 Conduct malaria RDT test amongst 1,175 SAM/MAM cases receiving treatment in OTP/TSFP,
 Conduct routine MUAC screening of 0-59 months, PLWs, and appropriate referral of SAM with medical complications cases.
 Continuous follow up of defaulter cases and home visits for non-respondent cases.

If this project is approved, we expect that by the end of this project, the common causes of severe to moderate acute malnutrition in under-five and PLWs which has placed Yirol East in IPC 4 (GAM 22.6%), would be reduced if kind Cluster gives LiveWell an opportunity to implement this proposed package.
LiveWell is implementing primary health care services with support from Common Humanitarian Funds since 2017, the organization has been the emergency responder in Nyang, Tinagau, Adior, Pagarau and Malek in Yirol East. We have established 1 PHCU, and 2 Mobile clinics. There has been lack of support for nutrition services by CUAMM in the same locations. The challenge has been that the facilities established were not in the CUAMM’s plan to provide nutrition services, yet it vital for lifesaving services coupled with IDPs presence in the area. Beside LiveWell is also implementing WASH, C4D in Yirol West. Our relationship with State’s stakeholders is tremendous based on our implementation and exits approaches. We have experienced nutrition team to implement this project efficiently and effectively to meet the deadline and also achieve the best results.
