Enhancing Food security, llivelihoods recovery and nutrition status for children, returning refugees This project will strengthen the capacity for food self-sufficiency for 1,500 (655) households (80% women headed households) as primary beneficiaries and 7,500 (3276) individuals (as secondary beneficiaries) returnee refugees, IDPs and vulnerable members of host community households in Owach and Nyiluak payams of Malakal County. It will help affected communities to re-integrate and re-establish their own food production capacity that was eroded due to years of conflict and displacement. This is premised on the fact that own food production is the main source of livelihood for most South Sudanese and have practised farming for generations. Agriculture is an important and strategic opportunity for livelihoods and food security for IDPs, refugees and host communities. Humanitarian assistance has never been enough to cover all food security needs. Food shortages contribute to increased malnutrition among an already-particularly vulnerable children. Lack of access to food, coupled with a lingering and unpredictable economy that includes a devalued currency and chronic high inflation puts goods, services, and food beyond the reach of most IDPs, refugees and host communities. Food self sufficiency provides a stable foundation for households to engage in other pursuits such as economic opportunities. The project will focus on supporting farmers to improve farming practices as a strategy for increasing availability of staple foods such as sorghum, maize, sesame, cow peas. Kitchen gardens will be encouraged at household level for the production of nutritious vegetables as part of efforts to combat malnutrition.
Multisectoral Emergency Response & Resilience Building of IDP and Host Communities in Warrap State This programme funded by ICSP will be implemented with consortium of local partners TOCH and HARD who brings in unique technical expertise. HARD will implement the FSL and WASH component of this programme and TOCH will implement the peacebuilding and protection component of the programme. This multi-year funding will set up sustainable support structures and to offer stable, safe, and continuous protection support and services, promoting a holistic recovery and coping capacity of the communities. The situation analysis done in September 2022 showed that the problems, causal factors and humanitarian crisis in Warrap State is  complex requiring multi-pronged responses to achieve meaningful impact. Traditional norms and culture leading to gender inequality and acceptance of GBV, child and forced marriages has worsened the plight of women. Such a complex interplay of factors requires an integrated multi-sectoral approach that will focus on providing a number of interlinked and complementary services to different communities and target groups. Durable sustainable livelihood opportunities will be implemented where sufficient peace and stability exists. This will be undergirded by peacebuilding activities mainstreamed in all activities in a triple nexus approach. Noting the humanitarian crisis urgent appropriate lifesaving relief support will be offered to vulnerable households. TOCH in the first year, focus will be on addressing the urgent psychosocial support needs of affected persons especially women and adolescent girls who experienced abuse and GBV. WGFS and groups will be established for structured sessions. The project will provide case management by trained case workers and coordinated safety audits to identify potential protection risks.  The second to the fifth year will focus on the strengthening specialized gender and age sensitive GBV services through skilling up local service providers.

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 facilitaties 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.
CAFOD Support to Sudan HIV & AIDS Programme This is a 3 year project aimed at facilitating capacity building initiatives of key persons responsible for the delivery of the programme at national and state levels, including facilitation of some of CAFOD’s PO learning visits to inform country support with partners as well as facilitation for in-country support visits to partners. The capacity building initiatives will directly address the organizational and operational capacity needs of the partners both at national and state levels and equip them with the necessary HIV&AIDS planning and management skills to effectively implement and support the various HIV&AIDS responses at national and state levels with improved coordination with other key stakeholders. 

CAFOD will commit to implement the project activities on behalf of Sudanaid (SCBC) in order to provide capacity building support to national partners.
Operational budget for ICD681 to track CAFOD’s operational costs This project will contribute towards enabling the communities in the targeted areas of Mollo (Lozhu payam), Larugura (Kediba payam) and Lakamadi (Lakamadi payam) within the Catholic Diocese of Yei to live together in a safe and clean environment with dignity.  This will be achieved through the promotion and support of good hygiene and sanitation practices in the communities. Communities will be supported to construct 100 low cost household latrines which will directly benefit 100 Households (700 individuals) and taught how to practice good sanitation and hygiene that will lead to a reduction in open defecation and a reduction in incidences of hygiene/water borne related diseases. The use of media in disseminating good hygiene practices will highly be adopted with frequent radio talk shows on good hygiene practices as well as short radio spot messages on hygiene. This project will build on the 2012/2013 water, sanitation and hygiene project activities as well as the 2013 community sanitation project that CAFOD and the diocese of Yei implemented with funding from Caritas Australia and CAFOD. 

Beneficiary selection criteria will be developed and part of the criteria will include willingness for participation of selected households to dig the pits and provide manual labour to support in the construction of the latrines, rather than engaging external private construction companies. Besides supporting the community to construct low cost pit latrines, communities will also be trained by the community hygiene promoters on the use of the latrines and on hygiene and sanitation related good practices including use of hand washing facilities at the latrine points. 

The targeting of beneficiaries will be done is such a way that the most vulnerable and marginalised members of the communities will be given priority. A poverty and vulnerability ranking system that takes into consideration the economic status, disability status, socio status such as women headed, child headed households and households with chronically ill and elderly members will be used through community based group discussions. Households will be ranked based on this criterion with the most vulnerable being selected to be beneficiaries.  This will be done in collaboration with local government authorities such as the Department of Rural Water and Sanitation which participated during assessments, data analysis, design of activities, and supervision of the construction work to the latrines.  This project is therefore created for Operational budget for CAFOD,s staff to track CAFOD’s operational costs.

Kosti Pastoral Region - Community Development Office (CDO) relocation to Renk This is a 1-year project aimed at facilitating the relocation and establishment of the Kosti Pastoral Region’s Community Development Office (CDO) from Kosti in Sudan to Renk in South Sudan. With the current CDO office located in Kosti in Sudan coordination and supervision of programme activities as well as engagement with CAFOD the only Caritas partner actively working in Northern Upper Nile in the parishes of Renk and Maban has not been possible due to the political tensions between the two countries that led to the closure of border between Sudan and South Sudan. The present situation has incapacitated the CDO Office to effectively plan, implement and manage projects/programmes. The proposed transfer of the said parishes to Malakal diocese located in South Sudan has also been hampered by the on-going political tensions as well as the lack of adequate clergy and skilled lay manpower. This has led to CAFOD becoming semi operational in order to reach out and provide services to the needy refugees and host communities consisting mainly of returnees.
