Distribution of Life-Saving NFIs and Emergency Shelter materials for population most in need of assistance and protection in South Sudan. INTERSOS will provide lifesaving shelter and NFIs in response to the gender and age specific needs of internally displaced and conflict affected population assessed and verified as most in need in Jonglei State (including Bor PoC), Eastern Equatoria state, and other states affected by conflict (specially those started from July 2016), through 2 mobile response teams. 

The proposed project will complement to ongoing SSHF SA1 Emergency Shelter and NFIs project which ends on 30th November 2017. INTERSOS will carefully consider to target deep field locations with recent displacements and are in needs of life saving ES and NFIs which were not targeted in the ongoing projects supported under SSHF SA1.

INTERSOS will also consider the specific needs, concerns and priorities of women and girls, men and boys of different ages and disparities such as disabilities in its response, incorporating protection principles during implementation.

At the moment Jonglei state needs more emergency shelter and NFIs assistance and SSHF SA2 funding is crucial to revitalize ES and NFIs response in location uncovered by ongoing project as well to ensure continuation of response after November 2017.

Two (2) Emergency Response Teams (Team A and Team B), composed of 1 expatriate and 1 national ERT Team Leaders, and 6 mobile ERT members, will respond to those emerging needs by conducting assessments, verifications, registrations, distributions and facilitate post distribution monitoring activities. The same expatriate and national team leader will also cover the role of State Focal Point for the Shelter-NFI Cluster, in Jonglei and Eastern Equatoria states. Project team will also comprise of one Field Engineer to provide technical guidance for shelter construction.


Further, based on cash vouchers distribution, a specific pilot unconditional but restricted cash program for 200 selected most vulnerable households (100 in Bor town and 100 in Torit town) will be implemented led by on ground Cash Voucher Officer with experience in implementing such programs supported by ERT Team leaders based in Bor and Torit. Cash Voucher officer and ERT Team leaders based at target locations will carry on need assessment, assess beneficiaries’ preferences, market survey to assess NFIs availability in the markets, reliability and supply chain. INTERSOS, in consultation with other actors, will develop SOPs in order to out in place guidance and operational conditions. 

CBI will enable most vulnerable groups such as unaccompanied elders, persons with disabilities, pregnant and lactating women, and child headed families to receive NFIs support as per their needs identified through need assessment.

In order to carry smooth implementation and guidance, INTERSOS will consult with IOM, FSL cluster and other partners with experience in managing similar projects in the past. INTERSOS Project Manager will independently monitor the activities and share the outcomes with the team and cluster partners.


Further, due to special needs for Bor PoC in which people do not yet feel secure enough to move out and therefore remain under humanitarian condition, 1 ERT team leader (based in Bor) and Field Engineer will respond to the Shelter needs for affected population and support construction of communal shelters for new arrivals.
