Scale up  of Emergency Nutrition Interventions to IDPs ,Host Community , Flood affected and Disabled Vulnerable populations of Mayendit,  and Panyijar Counties In Unity state ,South Sudan . UNIDO has continuously operated 12 OTP centers and 8 TSFP centers with coverage in all 12 Payam in Mayendit County since its operation in Unity in 2011. Sporadic political conflict , cattle raiding and flooding witnessed in these areas continue to uproot and displace households, preventing many from planting as it’s their main source of Food and forcing them to sell off assets and livestock for food in order to survive post conflict. Recently renewed fighting in Mayendit South ( 26th February 2017 )  and  worsened the situation by destroying available Health systems already put in place by UNIDO through donor funding to tackle acute malnutrition in Under 5s. Worst hit  payams of Bhor which hosts the PHCC and Pabuong  forced the community and NGO staff to evacuate and seek shelter in the neighboring swamps and juba  .UNIDO being the Health and Nutrition lead agency in Mayendit County Under HPF 2 together with other Humanitarian actors seek to ensure continued Nutrition support to the affected population taking keen measures in promoting equitable access and participation of Men, Women, Girls and Boys in needs assessments ,project design and in implementation of activities Under SSHF . 
 
In light of the recent declaration of localized famine in Leer and Mayendit on 20 February 2017, as well as the high risk of famine in Koch, UNIDO seeks to ensure continuum of care to beneficiaries who are now  in competition for scarce resources . This is why UNIDO seeks to continue supporting beneficiaries in the greater Mayendit county and Panyijar so they don’t feel discriminated and marginalized at this time of need .This proposed 2017 SSHF SA1 project will continue to address, respond and scale up nutrition needs in line with NC strategy by targeting Under 5 Both boys and Girls amp PLWs IDPs and host communities in Mayendit and Panyijar counties  The project is designed to provide both preventive and curative services with inclusion of a SMART survey which will enable the cluster and other stakeholders to better understand the nutrition situation in Mayendit .
Treatment of severe acute malnutrition ( SAM ) will be provided by UNIDO in the already existing Health facilities to prevent children under 5 from malnutrition related death. Treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) will also be done with the aim of improving the health of children under 5 Boys amp Girls , thereby reducing the prevalence of severe acute malnutrition. Awareness campaigns on topics including MIYCN , HIV awareness and hygiene promotion will be provided to beneficiaries in Mayendit/panyijar as well . UNIDO has presence in the aforementioned locations supporting Education, Health ,Child Protection and FSL sectors and as such we will strengthen coordination with respective  CHDs to ensure that Mayendit /panyijar county beneficiaries receive the needed multi sectorial services in turn promoting inter cluster collaborations and synergy .
