Through the proposed 1 PHCU and 2 Mobile Team activities, IHO intends to increase access to lifesaving healthcare services for acute displacements and the conflict affected host communities, disease outbreak prevention, malnutrition treatment and health Protection response. The service shall be provided in consultation with the community members and ensure constant feedback to improve service delivery. 
The project will address the specific needs and concerns of different gender and age groups through age, gender and diversity mainstreaming. The project will ensure interventions address specific needs of vulnerable groups especially women and girls and build local capacity of project beneficiaries by designing gender sensitive health interventions. Following the IASC Gender in Emergencies Handbook, Impact Health Organization (IHO) streamlines gender principles in all services. The proposed intervention will address the immediate needs of internally displaced and host populations while supporting efforts to build local capacity and strengthen systems to respond better in a protracted emergency situation.  The intervention will specifically target vulnerable populations such men, women, boys and girls including elders, children under five years, disabled etc. To address the health needs of vulnerable communities, the community will be consulted through key informants, focus discussion and community consultation meeting.
Increasing access and strengthening capacities of PHC to provide emergency lifesaving health care services in Juba, Malakal and Wau locations through the provision of (2 mobile unit, 3 PHCU, 1 PHCC (Integrated and/or Outbreak response) International Medical Corps (IMC) is a US-registered independent affiliate organization of International Medical Corps UK (IMC UK), with which IMC UK shares the same name and charitable objectives and mission. IMC UK and IMC work together to deliver assistance programs in an accountable and effective manner in pursuit of their commonly-held charitable objectives. IMC UK will engage IMC to implement its programmes in the field, with IMC UK oversight, according to the terms and conditions of any agreement that results from this proposal and the terms of the parties’ administrative service agreement. IMC maintains a branch office in Croatia, IMC Split that provides administrative and operational support to IMC UK and to the programmes on the ground, including but not limited to financial management, procurement management/international procurements, and logistics.

Over 20 years of operations in South Sudan, IMC has accrued a wide range of knowledge and understanding of the local context. Operations in all of South Sudan’s former 10 states over that 20-year period have allowed the organization to generate key operational environment awareness. In addition to vital health service delivery, IMC plays a vital role in building the local capacity of health care workers. 

Under this project, IMC will continue to ensure that Integrated Health Care services, including primary health care, comprehensive reproductive health service, mental health services, and secondary health care are strengthened and available to vulnerable populations, referral system is reinforced and rape survivors have access to CMR and psychological first aid and that epidemic-prone diseases are detected on time and responded to immediately in Juba PoC, Wau PoC, Malakal  PoC and their catchment areas while in Nyal IMC will provide mobile clinic services.

Beside the health program, IMC currently operates a GBV prevention and response program in Akobo, Nyal, Malakal, Abrouc and Wau, funded by DFID, which will complement the proposed intervention specifically addressing CMR. IMC also provides nutrition services in Nyal, Juba PoC, Malakal PoC, Akobo and Maban refugee camps.

Following the IASC Gender in Emergencies guideline, IMC streamlines gender principles in all services. Gender equality and equity issues are being addressed in ongoing project activities.

Enhance the provision of critical child protection services in emergency to 10,000 conflict affected children (boys and girls), men and women in Payinjiar, Leer and Mayendit counties by 20th of September 2018 In response to the growing humanitarian crisis in Southern Unity, UNIDO is proposing these interventions to expand lifesaving child protection, protection services to vulnerable populations in Southern Unity. The complexity of the operating environment requires multifaceted approaches that are tailored to each location including: 1 static child protection emergency response services in Southern Unity, UNIDO will expand child protection and protection emergency response through team based in Southern Unity center counties providing services in three locations in Southern Unity state selected based on needs assessments. The proposed six months’ emergency intervention is designed to: increase boys, girls and women access to lifesaving comprehensive case management, family tracing and reunification (FTR) and psycho-social support (PSS) services and child protection to reduce risks of protection. Integrate child protection monitoring and mainstreaming into the protection intervention to improve the overall context analysis and integration of child protection principles in the intervention that will be scaled up to respond the identified needs. Enhance understanding and analysis among humanitarian actors on the child protection context and needs. UNIDO will utilize existing internal emergency response capacity to staff these team to provide timely, effective and efficient child protection and protection response during the project period with a six-month deployment to Southern Unity. This will offer an opportunity to provide much needed humanitarian services in Southern Unity to areas without protection services.  This child protection intervention in Leer, Mayendit and Payinjiar counties and the protection emergency intervention has been especially designed to be integrated within UNIDO’s existing child protection program in Leer, Payinjiar and Mayendit, counties, which aimed at strengthening community- based child protection networks (CBCPN) and facilitating access to information and appropriate services. Through existing community protection committee (CPC), provide a platform to establish community- based child protection networks (CBCPN) to facilitate the identification of and response to child protection concerns, the development of community-based mitigation plan, prevention messaging (on FTR, forced recruitment and early marriage) and child protection surveillance mechanism. In addition, the CBCPN will identify and refer vulnerable children in need of individual support. Operate three safe healing and learning spaces for children that facilitate their recovery, restore a sense of normalcy, and promote their cognitive, physical, social and emotional development and provide parenting support. Youth engagement to provide peer support, recreational activities and referral to the FSL programming as an entry point to develop future intervention with Children Association with Armed Forced/Groups.
Integrated emergency WASH services for vulnerable conflict and disease prone-affected communities in Tonj East County (Warrap) This proposed project will address short- to-midterm WASH concerns of conflict and disease outbreak affected populations by providing integrated WASH services to vulnerable populations. This will improve water supply, sanitation and hygiene behavior for the vulnerable IDPs and host families and reduce waterborne diseases. The project therefore intends to contribute to the reduction of avoidable mortality and morbidity through the provision of lifesaving integrated WASH services to vulnerable populations, especially women, girls, men and boys affected by armed- conflict and the host communities through a flexible, responsive and synergistic approach. This project will be targeting 20,000 individuals (Men: 4,630, Women: 5,120, Boys: 4,870 and Girls: 5,380) in Tonj East. 

Prior to project implementation, CCOSS will conduct, focus group discussions(FGD) with women, men, boys and girls at targeted community settlements will be conducted to get feedback on design, implementation, and monitoring of sanitation facilities, ensuring safety and mitigation of Protection / GBV risks, especially for females. These FGDs will also be utilized to trigger community action towards ending open defecation. A total of 10 two stance block latrines (20 latrines) will be constructed at key health facilities, market places, and crowded settlement areas. CCOSS will also rehabilitate non-functioning boreholes

The project will carry out four clean- up campaigns to improve environmental sanitation at schools, health facilities, market centers and settlement areas since these are key areas where people gather and transmission of infectious diseases such as cholera is at a heightened risk. CCOSS shall conduct cholera awareness and prevention campaigns each month of implementation to improve hygiene practices and health-seeking behavior for WASH-related infectious diseases. The awareness shall also provide knowledge on appropriate behaviors to prevent and mitigate WASH related diseases and encourage good hygiene practices.

CCOSS will train 40 community hygiene promoters (60% of them women) and 10 hygiene leaders on hygiene awareness and promotion.   These hygiene promoters will be identified and recruited through participatory approach with the community members playing a central role. CCOSS will also assess the target population and identify at least 1500 most vulnerable households (Men: 1870, Women: 2564, Boys: 2220, girl: 2346 and total 9000 individuals) for distribution of WASH non-food items (NFIs) such as jerry cans, buckets, PUR tabs and soap. A needs assessment will be conducted at the beginning of the project implementation phase.
Provision of life-saving dry season vegetable kits and fishing kits, integrated with cash-for-work/WASH from other programs, for the most vulnerable 8500 households in Koch County to support their restoration of livelihoods for improving food security. Cordaid will distribute vegetable kits and fishing kits to 8500 most vulnerable households: mostly IDPs or severely affected by the crisis, including female-headed households and those with SAM/MAM under 5 children or PLW, pregnant and lactating women, in Koch county. Distribution will be supported with training on using vegetable and fishing kits to ensure sustainable restoration of livelihoods.

During the dry season when farming possibilities are limited in the targeted communities, Cordaid plans to integrate this assistance with cash for work to improve irrigation infrastructure (e.g. constructing and improving water ponds and canals that contribute to irrigation during dry season) to enhance the impact of vegetable growing food insecure households.

This intervention matches well with the current FSL strategy of dry season response in high risk counties – for improvement of their food security in the next season.
Emergency WASH interventions to the vulnerable population groups affected by conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition and WASH related diseases The 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan for South Sudan projects an increase in the number of people in need as a result of the escalation of the conflict. Nearly 1.9 million people have been internally displaced, 85% of whom are women and children. Crisis and emergency (IPC Phase 4)  outcomes and associated risk of increased mortality have persisted in the Country due to displacement that has negatively affected household food security and livelihoods. Levels of hunger and malnutrition have reached unprecedented levels, with over 5 million people severely food insecure and over 1 million children acutely malnourished. Several surveys and IRNA assessments  including Greater Mayom WASH assessment conducted by Concern World Wide indicated deterioration in WASH, food security and livelihoods, nutrition, and protection indicators, prompting SPEDP’s strategy to scale up its operations in  Mayom County leveraging several donors, partners and the broader cluster efforts.
 
Against this background, SPEDP proposes a 6 months project to provide WASH interventions in Mayom County targeting both IDPs (65%) and the host population (35%) –a total of 18,000 beneficiary individuals. The summary of the activities will include: - Baseline surveys, rehabilitation of 12boreholes, water quality testing and monitoring, refresher training of 12 water user committees  comprising of 7 members per borehole  and 24 community based pump mechanics, sanitation promotion campaigns ( clean up campaigns), training of 18 community hygiene promoters volunteers, hygiene promotion awareness sessions and distribution of WASH NFIs to malnourished children assessed by the nutrition cluster.
Provision of Lifesaving  Nutrition Interventions in South Sudan The purpose of this project is to support lifesaving nutrition interventions, mainly treatment of children with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) through integrated rapid response mechanism (IRRM) modality which is a proven delivery channel I to provide nutrition services in some of the most hard to reach areas. The project will be implemented in the 17 prioritized counties of Western Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Warrap, Uper Nile, Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria states . The total cost of the project is USD 1,083,152.98 to be implemented over a duration of 12 months
 
This project is designed to benefit a total of 109 ,000 beneficiaries ( 38,250 girls, 36,750  boys and 34,000 women) both from IDP  and host communities in the prioritized locations  through IRRM activities. About 75,000 children (38,350 girls and 36,750 boys) between the age of 6-59 months will be screened for SAM out of which 1,500 children (765 girls and 735 boys ) with SAM are expected to be treated. Over the project period,  34,000 pregnant, lactating mothers and caregivers of children 0-24 months are targeted to receive  individual counselling on maternal infant and young child feeding practices. A total of 170 health workers will be trained on community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM), while 255 health and nutrition workers will be trained on maternal Infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) training packages based on national protocols for South Sudan. This project will compliment procurement of key nutrition supplies (Amoxicillin  and  weighing scales) required by nutrition cluster partners for treatment of SAM which are currently in short supply in South Sudan. The project will also fund three  ad hoc SMART surveys.

UNICEF will ensure cluster priorities like accountability to affected populations, protection mainstreaming and linkages with other sectors mainly health, WASH, education and protection (GBV) is fully adhered to throughout the project implementation. The  eligible  beneficiaries  for nutrition intervention during  IRRM will be identified through  head count and registration for  general food ration by WFP and community mobilization activities carried out prior to and during the IRRM mission.
Provision of emergency health assistance to IDPs and host communities in conflict affected persons in Fashoda County Upper Nile State South Sudan Provision of emergency health assistance to IDPs and host communities in conflict affected persons in Fashoda County Upper Nile State South Sudan at a costs of 100,000 USD will deliver quality emergency curative, prevention health services to 6839 hosts and IDPs population (Men 684 Women 2735 Girls 1862 boys 1558)  including women of child bearing age, youth, elderly, and the disabled in IDP, returnees and host communities in Fashoda County Upper Nile State.  The proposed activities will focus on meeting the health cluster’s strategic plan and response objectives, respond to cholera, GBV and high GAM rate through provision of general consultations for morbidity, provision of basic RH services including antenatal care, skilled deliveries, postnatal care and family planning services, provision of immunization services for children under 5 years and women in the reproductive age group, Capacity building of staff recruited from the area of operation on surveillance. The project will also promote health education on key health topics at the clinic and in the community and Establishment a referral mechanism for severely sick patients. Through the proposed 3 Mobile Units and 1 PHCU activities, IHO intends to increase access to lifesaving healthcare services for acute displacements, returnees and the conflict affected host communities, on disease outbreak prevention, malnutrition treatment and health Protection response. The service shall be provided in consultation with the community members and ensure constant feedback to improve service delivery.
The project will address the specific needs and concerns of different gender and age groups through age, gender and diversity mainstreaming. The project will ensure interventions address specific needs of vulnerable groups especially women and girls and build local capacity of project beneficiaries by designing gender sensitive health interventions. Following the IASC Gender in Emergencies Handbook, Impact Health Organization (IHO) streamlines gender principles in all services. The proposed intervention will address the immediate needs of internally displaced, returnees and host populations while supporting efforts to build local capacity and strengthen systems to respond better in a protracted emergency situation. The intervention will specifically target vulnerable populations such men, women, boys and girls including elders, children under five years, disabled etc. To address the health needs of vulnerable communities, the community will be consulted through key informants, focus discussion and community consultation meeting.
Quality Education in Emergency services provided to hunger stricken, malnourished and crisis affected girls and boys (Age 6-18) through School Feeding Program in Uror and Akobo Counties, South Sudan. The School Feeding Programme response will continue to focus in Uror County amp extend it up to Akobo County of Jonglei State. The project will targets a total of 6960 beneficiaries (4200 Boys, 2400 Girls, 240 Men, amp 120 Women), through the response that aims at, among other things, providing school children with food, restoring and providing safe and protective education among boys and girls as well as among adolescents during the phase of emergency and working closely with already existing projects in Akobo and Uror Counties of Nile Hope’s intra-sectors (especially Health, Nutrition, FSL, WASH, and Protection) and other partners. The general focus of the project is to contribute to improved scholastic performance, reduce short-term hunger and nutritional deficiencies, improve attendance and enrolment, improve concentration, prevent the spread of Cholera, and/or reduce gender or geographical disparities. The project equally hopes to contribute towards protection of children from risks and/or disruptions to their education, enhance their psychosocial development, improve hygiene and sanitation and alleviate strain on the family food supply. The school feeding (SF) programme focuses directly on children in the emergency situation, giving them access to resources they would not otherwise have access to and restoring continuity and a sense of normality in an unstable situation. Resuming or maintaining education services in an emergency setting provides a structured environment and at least basic numeracy and literacy training. Schooling, or any sort of structured educational activity, potentially provides psychosocial support and is particularly valuable to children in Akobo and Uror Counties whose lives have been disrupted or who are vulnerable because of the nature of the emergency that has affected them. The availability of structured educational activities in the midst of an emergency is a signal of normality and stability, not only for children themselves, but also for their families and communities in general. It can provide relief to adults struggling to maintain or rebuild livelihoods and, perhaps most important, it provides protection to and investment in the next generation and their skills and capacities to rebuild and cope as national dialogue and peace process continues. The project has developed an effective procurement system besides describing how it will use its existing MampE system to monitor, report and document evident lessons for the purposes of sharing with partners as a good practice. The project is also designed to ensure maximum impact is achieved through the proposed interventions.
