Human Rights and Peace-Building Project The three-year Human rights and peace-building project to be implemented by HARD in Jur River County, South Sudan aims to create a stable peaceful environment where human rights for all are guaranteed. The project will empower women, youth and local leaders with knowledge of relevant laws that protect human rights especially rights of women and girls. In addition, the project will also promote local level building through increased knowledge in peace-building and facilitate establishment of community-level peace building structures. 
The target geographical area is characterised for rampant abuse of rights of women, girls and other vulnerable persons in the society. Assessments carried out in the County further indicate that there are widespread violent conflicts occasioned by; weak intuitions for conflict resolutions, lack of capacity in peace-building and ignorance. The project therefore intends to use community-based approaches to address the underlying factors impacting on human rights and conflicts. The target group are women leaders, youth leaders and local leaders who are influential and are opinion leaders within their communities. Most of these issues are rooted in culture that marginalises women and girls. The project will positively impact on women, girls and other vulnerable persons in the community like persons living with disability.
There are a number of legal instruments both international and national that will be used to educate, train and sensitise local leaders on human rights and conflict resolution. The Transitional Constitution of South Sudan provides for respect of human rights of all citizens while, legislation such a; children’s Act 2008 outlaws practices such as child marriages.
HARD being a national NGO that has been working in the area for many years have developed adequate expertise and rapport with the local communities that will be critical for the success of the project. HARD will benefit from technical support and guidance from CAFOD/Trocaire to successfully implement the project. There will be frequent visits to the project by CAFOD/Trocaire staff to provide technical support and advice to HARD staff.
Yirol East:Strengthening Self-sufficiency for 4800 people, Empowering women to improve social status This project will be implemented by both TOCH and CDOR and will cover selected payams of Yirol East County in former Lakes State. TOCH have been operational in Yirol East since 2015, and their role in the project is to strengthen the protection and GBV response.  
The project will take a nexus approach, combining both humanitarian, development and peace approaches to address food insecurity, strengthened by improved coping mechanisms for women and girls, and safe water access. In Yirol people have traditionally produced the bulk of their own food; this project will enable communities, directly affected by conflict and displacement, to do this again. The project will equip communities with climate sensitive agroecological skills, tools and technology for long term food security beyond humanitarian food aid. An agroecological approach will help build on traditional knowledge including context specific practices that regenerate the environment, improve biodiversity, increase resilience to shocks and manage pests at low or zero cost to farmers, combined with tools and seeds to increase productivity and production of diverse foods. 
A survivor-centered and women’s empowerment focused approach will support women to secure their safety and wellbeing, to enable them to recover, and provide for their families and become food secure. To tackle poor access to safe water and poor hygiene and sanitation practices in the community, the project will provide safe water through borehole repair, establishing and training of water user committees including of training pump mechanics and distribution of sanitation items along with hygiene messaging. These activities will complement food production activities by improving health, absorption of nutrients, and productivity.  Peacebuilding committees will work to promote peaceful resolution of conflicts, peaceful coexistence and negotiate access to communal resources, in turn helping to better ensure food security measures are well received and sustainable. WUC’s will work to resolve water point access issues or conflict. Activities will also bring together diverse groups of IDP’s and hosts to work together, share knowledge and experiences during the project.
Emergency Relief and Recovery for IDPs, Returnees and Vulnerable Communities in Yei South Sudan The armed conflict has caused influx of people from the rural areas and from other counties into Yei River County and other county headquarters in the Catholic Diocese of Yei. The increased number of people has generated increased demand for food and other basic services as water, medicines and shelter. In the three counties in Western Equatoria State, conflict between native farmers and encroaching cattle keepers exploded, which – displaced 367 households, and destroyed property and farms. Furthermore, deterioration of security situation in Mundri Town, Lui, Wonduruba in Lainya County and in Kajo-Keji County resulted in additional displacement of over 10,500 people. IDPs are unable to return to their home villages without any form of support such as shelter materials to rebuild their houses or tools for cultivation. Needs identified for affected communities are: shelter and non-food items for 3000 households and seeds and tools for 3000 households.

Reports coming from Yei diocese recently indicated that number of households are retuning back to their home of origin Wonduruba, with some number of IDPs remaining in the diocese from nearby Counties of Mundri and Maridi.
Caritas South Sudan Capacity Strengthening Initiative Caritas South Sudan is the official organisation of the Catholic Bishop's Conference in Sudan.

CGF project complementing Secure Catholique project in Gogrial This project is an internal funding from Secours Catholique to support famers’ livelihoods through collective organization, improving resilience and food security of vulnerable households targeted, the project will focus on forming and strengthening existing self-help and informal farmer groups, into farmer associations (FAs). FAs will be capacitated to function as democratic structures acting to empower members through collective organizing and engagement with markets. FA’s are an entry point for integrated support delivered by the project. Support for FAs will strengthen food security, resilient livelihoods and coping capacities of members (particularly focusing on women-80% of FA members) increasing access to micro-finance, psychosocial support and GBV service provision. Addressing drivers and communities resilience to conflict and environmental shocks is crucial to supporting an enabling environment for FAs, as well as the broader community. FA members will participate in activities lead by peace and DRR committees supported by the project.  To improve farm productivity and production, seed sovereignty, reduce post-harvest loss and increase their household’s food security FA members participate in tool and seed fairs, receiving locally adapted varieties of seed and training on applying principles and practices in agroecology. Food security is the essential foundation  for building resilience and improving agri-based livelihoods.
Passionist support for East Africa Food Crisis complementing CAF project by HARDin Tonj North County The Passionist Community located in Coventry made available £50,000 towards the Food Crisis in South Sudan. In accordance with the St. Joseph’s Province Mission Statement, the aim of a Passionist grants is:
1.         To reach out to the poor and excluded, and to those living  on the margins of society

Support for Resilience capacity building for CTP South Sudan team and partners There is a growing shift and focus from donors in South Sudan to integrated, multiyear programming, focused on building resilience. Resilience building, is a complex process that involves a variety of stakeholders and overlaps with different sectors in both humanitarian and development contexts. As Resilience encompasses different sectors, it is important for agency and partner staff to understand how resilience fits into both current and future programming. Therefore, the need exists to build capacity of key personnel in South Sudan to be able to develop and implement impactful and transformative resilience programmes.
The South Sudan programme is currently in the process of developing a new Country Strategy Paper which will inform the next 5 years of programming in country. The country office is at the beginning stages of developing the CSP. In line with practices from other countries the intension is for the strategy paper to further define previously identified programmatically strands. Namely, resilience livelihood and woman’s empowerment both of which will compliment our humanitarian initiatives.
Support for church-led peacebuilding in South Sudan pilot The project will be implemented through a partnership between CA and CTP, with CA as lead agency, working with SSCC to strengthen APP implementation at local level.

The national secretariat facilitates the implementation of its APP. Through its national structure, regional offices, and community-level Inter-Church Committees (ICCs), and the hundreds of local churches within its membership, the SSSC reaches millions of South Sudanese. Membership of the ICCs comprise local representatives of SSCC member churches. CA and CTP will work closely with the SSCC and its member churches to support ICCs through accompaniment, building capacity, and enabling them to connect with and inform the national strategy for the APP. As part of this, CA and CTP will also work with the national secretariat to further strengthen overall implementation of the APP at the national level.

The SSCC Core Group  is a loose forum of ACT Alliance and CARITAS network members and other faith-based organisations whose role is to accompany the SSCC as it strengthens its organisational capacity and implements the APP. CA and CTP will prioritise effective coordination with implementing Core Group partners to maximise ability to deliver positive results.

This pilot project will focus on support for two local ICCs and their associated Regional Office to assess and build their capacity to implement the pillars of the APP. This five month pilot phase of the project will build the foundation for a two-year programme of support for the APP, including: best practice in capacity assessment and support for ICCs in developing training modules around pillar methodologies; learning from how the four pillars interact and inform each other when implemented at local level to inform national strategic approaches; demonstrating how voices and experiences from the local level should feed back into national implementation and analysis – especially advocacy.
Self-reliance and Sustainability of peace in conflict affected areas of Aguok South, North and Aguok South Sudan has been at war since the fiftieth of last century, this prolonged war denied the South Sudanese communities and families a chance to live together as clan or communities and enjoy peace, and hence the high rampant cases of violence still exist.
90% of the current South Sudanese were born in war and have never experienced peace and love, their minds are stocked with war memories and many of them are traumatized. The Gogrial west county community in Warrap has never experienced peace which makes them suffer from peace deficiency and they are not able to demonstrate peace to their neighboring communities, this has contributed to an increase of community clashes especially in the areas inhabited by Apuk and Aguok tribes. 

The project is aimed to conduct activities to reduce inter-clan violence by creating awareness on the importance of women empowerment and peaceful coexistence among the communities, and creating a friendly village forum where people discuss issues related to violence which causes insecurity in the area. By the end of the project the village forum will be empowered to establish the village help desk where by violence cases will be reported and handled. The project activities will also provide the traumatized community with healing process through village public debates and drama where the community will freely discuss their differences and solutions and establish a peaceful society where people live in harmony and perfect peace.

The partner will focus to rebuild the scattered communities through peace and reconciliation processes. There are already established strong rapport with government officials and other stake-holders who are around the region of Bhar el Ghazal. The project team will have regular meetings and communication with government functionaries and the targeted beneficiaries.
NFIs for Poktap IDPs and host communities Since 2011, under the USAID Food for Peace (FFP) and South Sudan Mission funded Jonglei Food Security Program (JFSP), CRS and Save the Children US have been supporting livelihoods development in households and communities in eight counties of Jonglei. The program aims to facilitate participants move along a continuum from highly vulnerable, to vulnerable but viable, and eventually to entrepreneurial and thriving. Since the outbreak of massive, violent conflict in December 2013, food security in the conflict-affected areas of Greater Upper Nile (GUN) – the states of Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile – has declined rapidly. Over 1 million South Sudanese have been displaced, including 301,900 in Jonglei state . The resulting core problem is that due to on-going violence, over 300,000 people in Jonglei state suffer from food insecurity and are at risk of famine. 
The intervention will target 2,200 vulnerable households living in Poktap Boma, Duk County, which include the elderly, female headed and child headed households, returnees and host communities. CRS (JFSP) has already structures in place working with local chief and RRC and therefore, the project team through the help of local authorities (chiefs) will carefully identify families who need assistance by validating their information through home visits and cross checking with other NGOs.

This proposed project aims to improve capacity of local leaders and committees on access to improve shelters. The committees and local leaders will encourage IDPs and returnees to construct/build shelters using available local materials.
Emergency WASH support to IDPs, Returnees and Vulnerable Host Communities in Renk County, South Suda Recent Needs Assessment conducted by CTP in Upper Nile State has found that predominantly open defecation is practices due to no access to latrines and few households that have access to latrines are not engaging in hand-washing after latrine use. The consequences of poor sanitation and hygiene leave children vulnerable to malnutrition and opportunistic infections like pneumonia. Communities situated along river banks, or near chronically flooded areas as Renk, rely on unsafe surface water for domestic purposes therefore exposing the community to dangers of diarrhoea and other water borne related diseases. Beyond infrastructural deficiencies, traditional beliefs, cultural practices and lack of information are seen as the highest contributing factors to poor hygiene behaviours in Renk. The main outcome of the project will be emergency latrine construction and hygiene promotion to Households affected by current armed conflict. The impact of the project will be that 700 households in the two Payams of Renk County that is, Renk and Geiger Payams of Upper Nile and 3 target schools (2000 girls and boys) will have access to sanitation facilities and be aware of hygiene and sanitation practices. The project will be implemented from during the dry season from Feb to April 2016. The project will work with school children, returnees, IDPs and host communities.
Provision of integrated multi-sector support to people affected by food insecurity in Greater Tonj Protracted crises exposed the people of Greater Tonj to recurrent inter-communal violence, displacement-induced food insecurity and loss of livelihood assets eroding peoples coping capacity, ability to recover and withstand future shocks. Humanitarian assistance is urgently required to alleviate extreme suffering, save lives and reduce morbidity. 
The proposed activities are designed to achieve the strategic objectives of the HRP 2021: 1) reduce morbidity and mortality, protection threats and incidents for the most vulnerable populations in severity levels 4 and 5. 2) ensure safe, equitable and dignified access to critical cross sectoral basic services to enable populations meet their basic needs in locations of severity level 4 and 5; 3) Enable vulnerable people to recover from crisis, seek solutions to displacement in respect of their rights, and build resilience to shocks and stresses.
The proposed project will target 42,897 of the most vulnerable IDPs (50%) and host households (50%). 42,897 households, (19,461 HHs in Tonj North; 8,833 HHs in Tonj South; and 14,693 in Tonj East) in IPC 4 and 5 individuals identified by the FSL cluster, across 21 payams will receive integrated multi-sector support in FSL. Protection activities will reach 8,125 beneficiaries in Tonj North and Tonj East including 6,000 receiving Psycho-social support accessing WGFSs and 4,000 receiving dignity kits.
The project will be implemented by CAFOD and Trocaire in Partnership (CTP) with it’s local partner TOCH.
Centre For Human, Pastoral and Spiritual Formation - Peace Building and Trauma Healing South Sudan has suffered years of civil wars and the recent eruption of conflicts that has degenerated into tribal fights continue to put the young nation in a precarious situation. The church sees itself as the only stabilizing factor over the past decades through peaceful engagement and dialogue with the leaders, a role that they would continue to especially at this of the year where nation is greatly polarized into tribal factions likely to prolong the fighting. The church considers a sound spiritual, human and pastoral formation a top priority and thus proposes: A Center for human, pastoral and spiritual formation; peace building and trauma healing.

At the moment, there's not existing facility throughout South Sudan that caters for larger of group for retreat or seminar/workshop participants, providing conference rooms and overnight accommodation and lodging. Several dioceses have PALICA - Pastoral Liturgical Catechetals) centers that can offer conference rooms for day sessions and only are suited for in-house diocesan participants. Up to now, seminars/workshops on the national level involving a good number of participants from out of towns and other dioceses have made use of low costs hotels particularly in Juba while on numerous occasions, the number of participants to these gatherings have had to be limited due to inadequate space.
Improving Food, Nutrition & Livelihoods Security of women, men, girls and boys in Juba County 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.  
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.
