CGF project complementing CN project in Gogrial through the provision of hand tools CTP is working with TOCH to implement Caritas Norway project in Gogrial East and West.  The project which is in its 3rd year is to support communities improve their food security status.  This small project is to complement the food security component by introducing community seedbanks and IGAs.  This is a 3rd of the 4 years Caritas Norway funded project.  The project is designed to target highly vulnerable households and individuals including poor female headed households, households with persons living with disability, those with low income, and the most food insecure with malnourished children in Gogrial East & West of Warrap State. Women and youths will be at the center of this project.  Targeting will be based on humanitarian principles of humanity and impartiality to save lives and alleviate suffering with aid being provided based on need, in proportion to identified needs. To achieve this, the CTP protection and safeguarding framework will be used which considers safety, meaningful access, dignity and inclusivity.  A participatory and consultative approach will be used to agree targeting criteria that ensures the most vulnerable individuals/households are identified and benefit from this support, building on the methodology used in previous CTP interventions. The project will target at least 10 percent of the beneficiaries based on the membership of person living with disabilities. After setting out the criteria, women groups containing 5 members each are established as targeting committees (3 from host, 2 from IDP HHs) in different locations. These committees will identify and present a list of potential beneficiaries who meet the criteria. Following this, mass verification and validation will be conducted. The final list will be presented and posted at community level for further verification as well as to give an opportunity for residents to raise any grievances which will be handled in accordance with locally established complaints handling mechanisms. The process promotes active participation, inclusiveness and ownership of the project by the community.

Life-saving distribution of emergency food items for the most vulnerable IDP and host community Yirol East State has received an additional 37,000 IDPs since October 2016, as reported by the RRC (Relief and Rehabilitation Commission) of Yirol East (January 2017). Adior reportedly has a host population of 15,000 and 11,000 IDPs, while Pagarau, with a population of 9,000 hosts 6,000 IDPs.
This displacement is significantly exacerbating the severe food insecurity. Unusual dry spells, late and inconsistent rains in 2016 have caused a shortage of food stocks. While stocks under normal circumstances sustain the population from harvest in August to May of the next year, followed by a hunger gap in June and July, this year stocks have already run out in January, hitting both IDP and host community to a life threatening level. Newly arrived IDPs were not able to grow any food and many households have been surviving on leaves in the absence of alternative food sources. With harvest still 5-6 months away and aid not reaching the targeted areas, the most vulnerable stand little chance to survive.
Improving Food, Nutrition & Livelihoods Security of women and men, including PLWHA   in Juba County This approval is raised for the financial year 2018/19 and to bridge the gap between now and when CTP Livelihoods Thematic Programme Framework is finalised and approved hopefully by March 2019.  The project was under the previous programme SSD-15-01 which started in April 2015 and ended in March 2018, with project cycles renewed every year.   
From April 2018, after the project ended the partner was given additional £30,000 to bridge the gap between the project end and when the budget for the financial year 2018/19 is out.  They implemented additional activities for two months (April 2018 to June 2018).  The planned project activities were successfully implemented, and reports have been submitted (all linked to the webpromise).  The partner also commission project evaluation in April 2018 and the evaluation report is linked to the webpromise as well.

This is a nine months project (July 2018 – March 2019) intended to Improving Food, Nutrition & Livelihoods Security of women, men, girls’ andboys including People Living with HIV & AIDs (PLWHA) in Nyuwa and Molobur Payams of Lado and Luri Counties, Jubek State, Republic of South Sudan. The project which will be implemented by Caritas Catholic Archdiocese of Juba can be continuously replicated every year, particularly during the dry period for as long as there are more vegetable framers in and around Juba that would want to make vegetable farming as a business, reflecting the programme nature of the project.  

Caritas Juba has been an implementing partner to CAFOD and now CTP since 2009.  This project is designed to bridge the gap between now and when CTP Livelihoods Thematic Programme Framework is finalised and approved in March 2019.  Since this is a period dry spelt in the region, the project will provide solar irrigation water pumps to progressing vegetable farmers, fishermen and trainings in vegetable production and fish preservation.  Vegetable farming as well as fishing is a lucrative business in and around Juba, and it is anticipated that beneficiaries to this project will increase their household incomes significantly within this period.
Community Based HIV&AIDS prevention, support and care initiatives project This is a one year project designed to consolidate the achievements of the concluded HIV pilot project that was being implemented in the diocese with CAFOD support through Sudan Bishops Regional Secretariat (SCBRS) in the last three years. The review of the previous national HIV programme in the south highlighted the importance of bridging the current gaps in order to strengthen and consolidate on the achievements with more involvement of the diocese.

The project aims at promoting service seeking behaviours in the effort to reduce HIV infections and it’s after effects among the communities of Tambura/Yambio diocese and WES in general and, to address issues of sustainability, efficiency and wider coverage of VCT and support group services.

The project targets the host community, returnees, IDPs and refugees from Congo currently in the region as a result of LRA attacks along the borders DRC and Western Equatoria State (Yambio). A total of at least 20,000 people within the wider community of which 50% will be women and youths and 5,000 PLHIV will be reached.
Improving Food Security through support of Sustainable Livelihoods in Central and Western Equatoria This project aims to improve the livelihood status of some of the most vulnerable people living in the targeted communities in Yei Diocese, South Sudan. The long term aim is to provide the beneficiaries (both returnees and those affected by drought) with the inputs and skills to increase their food security, and lift themselves out of poverty.
At the end of the 22 month project it is envisioned that the project will address the food security needs of the most vulnerable in the targeted communities.  1000 households will demonstrate a significant improvement in their food security. This will be measured by conducting a baseline survey within the first month of the project, using indicators that will then be monitored throughout the duration of the project.  There will also be an additional 200 households that will receive support in other livelihood approaches such as fishing. The project will also address some of the water, sanitation and hygiene needs of the 1000 households in the targeted communities. This will in turn contribute to an overall improvement of their health and wellbeing by the end of the project.

Following CDTY’s three year project from April 2010 to March 2012 and its one year project from April 2013 – March 2014, considerable achievements have been observed through an external evaluation and the diocese themselves. A number of lessons have been learnt, and despite the wide range of achievements made so far, there are still some significant challenges being faced. The design of this proposed project is therefore based on information collected during recent project monitoring visits conducted by CAFOD, Caritas Australia and CDTY. It will also continue to  addressed some of the gaps that were identified by the external evaluation report and the 2013 project
CAFOD Food Crisis Appeal for vulnerable households in Tonj North and South This project will target 1,000 vulnerable households recently affected by the flood crisis and as well, scale-up famine response in Tonj North and South. This project will be implemented in complementarity with other funding; CAFOD Appeal, CGF and Trócaire E10% grant. The project will target highly vulnerable households and individuals including women, older people, children, adolescents and young people, people living with disabilities (PLWD), internally displaced people, households from host community hosting large number of IDPs and facing similar level of vulnerability, and individuals with low economic status who experience a greater level of risk. Children, women, and girls who lost or are separated from primary caregivers due to conflict are at increased risk of neglect, abandonment, health risks, violence, and exploitation, and are more likely to suffer mental health and psychosocial distress, and malnutrition; as such, they will be targeted for intervention. The recently displaced persons as a result of the current flood crisis in Tonj will be key focus of this project. Targeting will be based on humanitarian principles of humanity and impartiality, to save lives and alleviate suffering with aid being provided based on need, in proportion to identified needs. In addition to community-based targeting mechanisms, the project will employ institutional targeting mechanisms and for this it will collaborate with nutrition and health actors to identify households with malnourished children. A participatory and consultative approach will be used to agree targeting criteria that ensures the most vulnerable individuals/households are identified and benefit from this support, building on the methodology used in previous CTP interventions. Clear vulnerability criteria will be set and during the process. The targeting criteria will also be informed by the various IRNA reports and OWG response review meetings reports of Greater Tonj.
Emergency Repose Project for Tonj North and South The CGF funded project will Provide timely, safe, dignified, and accountable humanitarian assistance. The area is affected by intercommunal conflicts causing displacements and as a result, hunger as communities are not stable to farm their land and produce their own food.  In addition, the displacement has caused trauma and stress among women, children and elderly which was initially related to property left back, lack of food and poor sleeping and living conditions. The population displaced are  deprived of their food, livestock, NFIs and their living conditions have deteriorated which counts to  more than 18,000 internal displaced persons (IDPs) are  temporarily hosted at Mayom biong Primary school, Church and some hosted by their relatives of Gogrial East County. The overall psychological wellbeing of IDPs and host communities is affected due to this calamities.
Improving Food, Nutrition & Livelihoods Security of women and men, including PLWHA in Morobo County Caritas Yei had initially designed a three year project but one year is already lost to issues about the change of project location.  This project is designed to be implemented in the new location (Morobo County) after a lengthy partnership meetings.   Farming in Morobo County is constraint by a number of technological, economic, social and pests and diseases problems throughout its stages from land clearance, land preparation, planting, weeding, harvesting, processing and marketing. First farmers are unable to open up bigger farms as they have limited technological options available. Hand tools are increasingly being used for land clearance, land preparation, weeding and construction of crop storage space. If improved technology such as tractor and ox-plough is available, it is expensive and not affordable by poor households. As a result farms and household storage facilities are small and community storage facilities are non-existent because quantity of farm products is small. Markets for crop products are inefficient and unattractive to food crop wholesalers; farmers are unable to access distant markets due to poor road infrastructure and inadequate transport services. The level of knowledge and skills for most individuals remain traditional. Most households do not follow  good agronomic practices such as early planting and weeding resulting into heavy pest and disease infestation and tense competition of weeds with crops. Thus yields are reduced. High prevalence of livestock diseases and inadequate veterinary services cause death of livestock reducing household livelihoods diversity options.

Ongoing food support for vulnerable IDPs sheltering in Don Bosco Compound, Juba-South Sudan Since December 2013 crisis, Don Bosco, St. Vincent de Paul Parish is sheltering thousands of internally displaced persons from different parts of Juba and outside Juba displaced during the December 2013 and July 2016 crises. Don Bosco compound is hosting an estimated 3000 households majority of whom are women and children. Many of the displaced in Juba crossed the Nile to seek shelter in the relative safety of the compound of the Salesians of Don Bosco in Gumbo, some 3 km from Juba Town.  
During an assessment visit by CTP to the site in October 2016 after the July crisis, IDPs described their living conditions as dire and many families were surviving on one meal per day and have no shelter materials (sleeping mat, blanket and mosquito net) and basic cooking equipment. CTP in partnership with the Salesians of Don Bosco between November and December 2016 provided three months emergency food support to 520 most vulnerable households and this is just a small fraction of the total population in need. Each family received 15 kg of maize flour, 15 kg beans, 2.5L of cooking oil and 1 sacket of 500 g of cooking salt to meet their food survival need. The humanitarian situation of the IDPs has not changed and has further been exacerbated  by the increased prices of basic commodities in the market as a result of devaluation of the South Sudanese Pounds against the US Dollars. Currently, many families are struggling and surviving on wild fruits and vegetables and are in dire need of humanitarian food assistance.  In view of the appalling situation, CTP in partnership with the Salesians of Don Bosco will provide another three (3) months emergency food support to the 1,000 most vulnerable households. Beneficiary targeting will be community-based and done through a Vulnerability and Inequality Analysis (VIA) process, to ensure that the most vulnerable people are targeted. The beneficiaries selection criteria will include elderly people, those with chronic sicknesses, female headed households, child headed households and unaccompanied children.
