Project evaluation and presentation of findings from the evaluation to the stakeholders Discussions and consultations were on going to extend the project by 3 more months after March 31st 2018.  However, the partner (CDO) had suggested that, “they cannot really follow closely the running of the projects in Maban. they have no personnel whom they can really trust. Hence, they are of the idea of stopping everything after the 3-month extension. To continue will only mean more confusions. If CAFOD and other partners can take up the lead, or Malakal Diocese can pick it up in the future, maybe we can think of allowing it continue but in a different structure”.  Not only that but also there were calls by Bishop Daniel for evaluation of previous projects to be conducted.
It was on this basis that, CTP has recommended that:
1.	Project evaluation of the previous projects be conducted as proposed by Bishop Daniel
2.	A stakeholder meeting to be held after the evaluation where the findings from the evaluation will be presented and the way forward for CDO discussed.
3.	CTP allocated the total budget of £20,000 to facilitate the evaluation and the stakeholder meeting.
4.	There will be no funding for project activities during this period

This approval is therefore generated for the approval of £20,000 from IDHJUB for the evaluation of CDO projects and holding of stakeholders meeting
Operation project for CTP Emergency and Resilience Programme (IDHEMG) This project is designed and raised to support the implementation of CTP Emergency and Resilience programme in South Sudan.  CTP is implementing projects through partners in South Sudan and these projects/partners will require regular monitoring ad support from CTP staff in Juba.

Enhancing Food security, livelihoods recovery and nutrition status for children, returning refugees, This project seeks to ameliorate the suffering of displaced persons and returnees with a focus on women and children who constitute the bulk of the displaced persons and at-risk host families. The project will provide lifesaving assistance to 1,500 (655) households who have children suffering from malnutrition and preventable communicable diseases due to poor access to safe water, hygiene, and sanitation practices.  It will strengthen the capacity for food self-sufficiency for 1,500 households (80% women headed households) as primary beneficiaries and 7,500 (3,276) individuals, as secondary beneficiaries in Owach and Nyiluak payams of Panyikang County in the former Upper Nile State. Amongst the indirect beneficiaries of food and vegetables production will be under 5-year-old children who suffer the most from high levels of malnutrition in the area. The project will reduce dependency on handouts by providing training and resources for agriculture, access to clean water, hygiene promotion and specific support for women and girls to overcome gender-based barriers and improve coping strategies. In addition, peace is indispensable to successful project implementation and hence the project will mainstream peacebuilding and promote peaceful co-existence amongst the different ethnic communities in the project area.
This intervention will cover Owach and Nyiluak payams of Panyikang County in the former Upper Nile State. The project will work with both host and IDPs and refugee populations. Hosts have received IDPs well; community leaders have shared communal cultivation land with IDPs. The settlements where IDPs mix with the host population require a balanced approach in providing or maintaining the existing services to encourage peaceful co-existence between IDPs and the hosts who are equally underserved. Host communities will constitute about 25% of the beneficiaries. 

Besides providing lifesaving support the project will enable communities to transition to recovery through a) reducing dependency on humanitarian relief support; b) increasing self-reliance and resilient food production systems; and c) promoting gender equality amongst the communities and d) peaceful co-existence.  To address these, the project will pursue the following objectives:
Phase IV Multi-Sector Response for the IDPs and Vulnerable Host communities in Yirol East The rainfall over most of the cropping areas started late with inadequate amounts in many places up to the end of May 2017. This caused late planting of crops and may result in harvesting delays. At the national level, the further deterioration of macroeconomic conditions has forced prices (of food and non-food items) to climb above levels observed last year. Over half of the South Sudanese population needs humanitarian assistance. Conflict has driven massive displacement and is expected to continue to limit household access to natural sources of food, including fish and wild foods. The daily wage rate for casual labour currently purchases under 3 kilograms of cereal in most areas of the country and, as a result, households face extreme difficulty purchasing sufficient food to meet their basic food needs.In terms of peace, governance and access to land, most parts of Lakes state were affected, mildly, by inter-clan clashes especially in the cattle camps by fighting youth. Throughout the country, there were some incidences of looting of relief food from trucks and warehouses with nearly 670 metric tonnes of food lost in July (15 incidences) compared to 7 and 5 June and May respectively.In Rumbek, which neighbours Yirol, 77 metric tonnes of food items in 3 trucks were looted on July 3 in Mayom village.
Provision of food security and livelihoods support for IDP and host community in Nassir County The main driver of displacement of civilian populations to and within Nasir County was the continued conflict in South Sudan, which broke out in December 2013, and quickly spread to the Greater Upper Nile region and elsewhere in the country.
Nasir County was one of the stronghold of SPLA/IO during the conflict and was the scene of confrontation between the rival forces with people being displaced. The takeover of Nasir town by the SPLA, reportedly led to the complete desertion of the town and surrounding payams by all civilians that were staying there. The general pattern of displacement in Nasir County had been wide dispersement of people into rural areas, and mixing of the IDPs with host communities, with a reported 20,000 people having crossed the border into Ethiopia. 
Already a stressed and food insecure part of South Sudan, the conflict and resulting displacement within Nasir County had disrupted the seasonal planting and harvest, as well as traditional trade routes, leading to further increase in food insecurity and vulnerability both among IDPs and the host community. The entire Sobat Basin is furthermore very flood-prone during the rainy season, which is beginning, compounding vulnerabilities.

With changes in the conflict dynamics people are beginning to return to Nasir town.  Humanitarian assistance may furthermore be required within Nasir town itself, due to the severe disruption of livelihoods that the conflict had already caused, and also taking into consideration the potential damage done to the town during the capture.

Food Security and Livelihoods needs in the area according to assessment conducted by Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) identified the following:  General Food Distribution for IDPs and targeted distributions for the host community; Distribution of fishing equipment to further diversify dietary intake and promote self-reliance; Livestock experts should also plan a visit to follow-up and investigate on a sudden increase in diseases 

CADA (Community Agribusiness Development Agency), a national NGO which was operating in Nasir throughout the conflict is planning to intervene and provide support to IDPs and Host community to enable them rebuild their lives and re-integrate/integrate to the community.  CADA, through this project will provide agriculture inputs (seeds, tools) and trainings as well as fishing gears.
