Integrated Emergency Nutrition Response in Kapeta East  and Nyirol counties in former Eastern equatorial and  Jonglei  State, South Sudan. SCI is seeking to deliver a six months’ integrated emergency nutrition project as continuation of current response in two priority counties where the nutrition situation is critical and with IPC 4. The response will be implemented in Nyirol ( former Jongle state and ) and Kapoeta East( former EES).In response to first quartile allocation and considering phasing out of the current SSHF funding project which is ongoing in Nyirol and Kapoeta, SCI is proposing to continue the emergency response and scale up the nutrition service to address the underserved and affected people of the two counties through attaining the most vulnerable groups of the population (children under five ,PLW and disabled people ). The proposed response will be implemented through strengthening the existing static nutrition sites, scale up outreach sites, deploying mobile team to scalp the nutrition response coverage though rapid response mechanism. Rapid assessment and continues surveillance of the nutrition situation will be done to ensure the intended population have got timely appropriate care and treatment and need base services. 

The overall Objectives of the project is to contributes to reduction of morbidity and mortality of Under five children and PLW due to acute malnutrition in Nyirol and kapoeta east county through management of acute malnutrition, promotion of maternal, infant and young child nutrition (MIYCN) in emergency.

This project will focus and address the planned response through three main emergency nutrition program intervention strategies, 1.
