Addressing acute Water, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion needs of vulnerable and conflict affected population of Leer county and Payams of Mayendit north County, Southern Unity State Addressing acute Water, Hygiene and Sanitation needs of vulnerable and war disaster affected population of Leer, Mayendit, Koch and Panyinjial counties in Unity State is paramount due to the fact that the population using water points are more than the standard required because the water points are few. The overuse contributes to breakdown of the pumps and reduction in water availability. Due to the fact that the current water supply situation is below standards in quality and quantity of 500 people (women, men, boys and girls) per borehole approximately 1,350 people (women, men, boys and girls) served by one hand pump, resulting in a limited amount of boreholes and water supply schemes which also results in overuse, which contributes to breakdown of the pumps and reduction in safe water availability. This leads not only to low water consumption (under 10 L/person/day) but also increases the burden of women and girls caretakers who solely walk for long distances fetching water exposing them to some forms of GBV namely abduction of young girls and boys, forceful marriages, killing and rape of young girls. Due to the fact that houses and sketchy sanitation structures were destroyed within the communities by the recent conflict. The current hygiene and sanitation structures merely exist exposing the residents to open defecation posing an extreme public health problem especially water borne diseases e.g. diarrhoea and cholera which has now become endemic. The project aims to rehabilitate 20 non-functioning boreholes in several Payams of Leer and Mayendit Counties so that the population can access water at an average of 1000 people (women, men, boys and girls) per borehole which is still below the standard quality requirement but is far better than the current average usage of 1350 per borehole as reported by recent RRM missions and UNIDO WASH field reports. The recent fights  has forced the populations to move to the islands with completely no WASH infrastructure resulting to increased open defecation, use of unsafe swamp and river water.  A total of 16,000 people (women, men, boys and girls) will benefit through provision of access to water by rehabilitation and repair of 20 boreholes, development of 5 hands dug wells and improve sanitation through hygiene promotion. There is a need for maintenance of hygienic conditions and hygiene promotion through services of human waste management, improved family latrines, water facilities, and waste disposal, hygiene promotion campaigns to raise awareness on water-related health/hygiene issues, especially to raise awareness on safe water and cholera prevention.
Emergency integrated lifesaving nutrition response to conflict, most affected and vulnerable populations (children 6-59 months, pregnant  lactating women) in Nyal- Panyijar County in South Sudan. International Medical Corps UK, through SSHF funds, will continue to provide lifesaving nutrition services, to the most affected Internally displaced populations in Nyal, Panyijar County Unity state. International Medical Corps UK is proposing SSHF funding for six months period from April 01, 2017 to October 31, 2017. This is to ensure continuity of the nutrition program in the proposed areas that have a high burden of acute malnutrition and already declared to be on elevated risk of famine, according the latest released IPC in February, 2017.

International medical Corps UK received 3 months funds from OFDA, last year in order to provide outreach health and nutrition services in Nyal, responding to the displaced population mainly from Leer County due to the ongoing conflict, the current grant with OFDA ends on 31st March, 2017. International Medical Corps UK, nutrition interventions started in February 2017 and through nutrition outreach program, 69 children aged 6-59 months with Severe Acute Malnutrition, have been admitted and provided with treatment. Current areas of Operation, Nyal and Katieth Payam, the County Health department has requested International Medical Corps UK to scale up it nutrition services to other islands especially Ngop and Nyoat. Ngop has estimated population of 10,000 people and Nyoat population estimated at 5000.


Panyijar County nutrition situation, remain very critical according to the MUAC assessment report that was used during the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification analysis in February, 2017. Panyijar County had MUAC proxy GAM rate of 35.2% and SAM rate of 11.1%. International Medical Corps UK with support from UNICEF and the nutrition cluster is currently conducting a SMART survey that will better inform all stake holders on the current nutrition situation. IMC UK propose to continue providing treatment to SAM cases, start TSFP and IYCF plus micronutrient in this area.


Therapeutic nutrition interventions will include treatment for children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women with acute malnutrition. International Medical Corps UK will also implement preventive measures to alleviate suffering caused by acute malnutrition.
Re-establishing and Improving Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion Services Among Vulnerable Population Affected by Acute Malnutrition and Conflict in Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Western Equatoria. The intervention aims to re-establish and improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene promotion services for people affected by malnutrition in Aweil West in Northern Bahr el Ghazal and people affected by conflict in Mundri East and Mundri West in Western Equatoria. To reach the objective of the interventions IAS will with a strong community participation rehabilitate non-functional boreholes and mini water yards, provide new water points, establish and train water management committees including health and sanitation volunteers. The intervention will target IDPs, host communities, and under-served communities inline with CERF life-saving criteria.

Contribution to the 2018 Food Security and Livelihoods Pipeline to protect the livelihoods of severely food insecure populations in South Sudan South Sudan is facing an unprecedented, man-made food crisis in all three regions. It is anticipated that an earlier-than-normal start of the lean season will result in 5.1 million people being classified as severely food insecure (IPC Phases 3, 4 and above) from January to March 2018, with up to 20,000 facing Humanitarian Catastrophe. In the worst case scenario, given the severity of the food security and nutrition situation observed, continued conflict, humanitarian access constraints and macro-economic instability leading up to the 2018 lean season will likely result in Famine conditions if humanitarian efforts are not actioned at scale. In 2018, FAO must respond to the highest levels of food insecurity recorded in a complex environment where insecurity and access restrictions play a critical role in response. 
The proposed project aims to build FAO’s livelihood pipeline inventory with crop seeds and animal vaccines and drugs to protect the livelihoods of the most vulnerable population groups, and enhance livelihood-based productive sectors, while reducing vulnerability to shocks and stressors. This will be achieved through the procurement, warehousing and pre-positioning of crop seeds (cowpea, maize and sorghum) and hand tools for in 2018, to be distributed by SSHF frontline partners, as well as the procurement and delivery of animal vaccines and drugs to SSHF partners to vaccinate and treat livestock in areas where livestock is the main source of livelihood and food security.
Emergency WASH response in Koch and Panjiyar Mercy Corps proposes a 6 month project to continue and intensify current lifesaving water, sanitation and hygiene services for IDPs and host communities in Koch and Panyinjar, with scope for expanding to other high-need areas within these counties. This emergency response proposes to reach 74,000 individuals in Koch and Panyinjar Panyinjar with an expanded package of life-saving, emergency WASH interventions that will reflect the evolving needs in both counties. In Panyinjar, Mercy Corps already reached 38,500 individuals to date with an intensive hygiene promotion campaign to respond to the cholera outbreak and provision of safe water by rehabilitating hand pumps/boreholes. The intensified package will continue to have an emergency cholera outbreak response and will implement comprehensive hygiene behavior-change components, robust integration with health and nutrition interventions, and fully streamlined gender and protection needs as identified. In Koch Mercy Corps has an emergency team of 5 Wash experts deployed from Bentiu that are currently and temporarily meeting the WASH need in Koch town supporting at least 2,000 HHs with WASH NFIs and rehabilitating 8 boreholes. 
The main components of the project are:
 Provision of clean water supply to households and community structures with rigorous water quality testing above current practice that also include rehabilitation of broken/damaged boreholes. 
 Provision/rehabilitation of semi-permanent/permanent latrines in institutional infrastructures (hospitals, schools, nutritional centers) for existing IDPs and new arrivals with tailored designs for people with disabilities/older adults and children. 
 Expanded, comprehensive hygiene promotion with a focus on behavior change interventions and menstrual hygiene and NFI distributions.
 Health, nutrition and WASH integration to mitigate WASH-related illness and morbidity via referral tracking systems and integrated outbreak response planning.
Integrated lifesaving nutrition response to conflict, most affected and vulnerable populations (children 6-59 months, pregnant  lactating women) in Akobo County, South Sudan. International Medical Corps UK, through SSHF call for the proposal , is requesting funds in order to ensure continuation and scaling up  of  lifesaving nutrition services, to the most affected Internally displaced and the host populations  in Akobo County, former Jonglei State. International Medical Corps UK is proposing SSHF funding for six months period from September 01,, 2017 to March 31, 2018. SSHF funding will support in hiring more, human resource, program supplies and rehabilitation of nutrition sites to cater for increasing caseload due to influx of Internally Displaced population from Akobo West, currently IDP population is 9,671 mainly from Walgak, Kaikunyi and cattle keepers that migrated to this area, in search of pasture and also due to persistent inter clan fighting between Murle and Nuer communities.  The program admission trend since February, 2017 indicates increase of Acute Malnutrition burden, due to above mentioned factors.  

International Medical Corps UK, is running OTP and TSFP services in Akobo East, in 10 nutrition feeding sites 3 are integrated at the health facility while 7 are community nutrition outreach program. Management of SAM cases with Medical Complications in Akobo county Hospital, the only stabilization care unit in the County.

Akobo East County, nutrition situation, the recent SMART survey conducted by International Medical Corps in June, 2017, shown , Global Acute Malnutrition prevalence of 18.0% (14.5↔22.3 95% CI) and SAM prevalence of 4.3 % (2.7↔ 6.7 95% CI) based on Weight-for-Height and the presence of bilateral Oedema. According to WHO classification the nutrition situation remain critical above 15%.

IPC, June 2017 report on addition described Former Greater Jonglei State, where food security is rapidly deteriorating, predominantly in the counties of Ayod, Canal/Pigi, Duk, Nyirol and Uror, which are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity, with Ayod having an estimated 20,000 people experiencing Humanitarian Catastrophe (IPC Phase 5) at least through July 2017. The conflict-related displacement of over 200,000 people from northern, central, and eastern former Jonglei has severely disrupted livelihoods and access to social services, thus severely undermining food security in the State. The situation has been further exacerbated by last year’s poor harvests as well as the economic crisis that has eroded households’ purchasing power.
 

Therapeutic nutrition interventions will include treatment for children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women with acute malnutrition. International Medical Corps UK will also implement preventive measures to alleviate suffering caused by acute malnutrition.
Child Protection - Scaling up Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) and Integrated Psychosocial Support Services in highly displaced and famine-affected communities By 31 January 2018, 300 children (150 boys and 150 girls) who are in urgent need of family tracing and reunification services and 5.000 children affected by displacement will benefit directly from this emergency project in priority locations in Jonglei, Upper Nile, Central,  Eastern Equitoria  and Unity States

Through RRM missions, the following services will be provided directly by UNICEF CP staff and community capacitated volunteers: 
1. Identification, registration and family tracing and reunification (FTR) services and temporary care placements for separated, unaccompanied and missing girls and boys
2. Community psychosocial support (PSS), including case management services to boys and girls with protection needs (UASC, CAAFAG, child survivors of GBV through referral system and direct support) 
3. Provide through awareness Prevention messages on violence against children to  affected populations
4. Monitoring and reporting  on general child protection situation and on specific Monitoring of child grave rights violation through the  Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (MRM). where appropriate
5. Coordination with other relevant partners to inform broader service delivery, including through regular engagement with cluster mechanisms and the Child Protection Information Management System (CPIMS). 
6. UNICEF RRM staff will work with existing caregivers and newly identified caregivers to build parenting skills and collaborate with community volunteers to ensure protection of vulnerable children including unaccompanied and separated children. 

UNICEF will also procure, transport and pre-position emergency lifesaving  supplies to support targeted children during all RRMs, nd will deploy Child Protection staff in the displacement and protection affected  locations to ensure frontline service delivery.. UNICEF will continue to oversee and arrange air transport for reunifications and, throughout the project, will support children and their families to link with other services and sectors, drawing on both UNICEF’s other programme sections and its broader network of partners through the various clusters. In addition to the direct implementation through this programme, UNICEF will continue to provide information and technical support to other child protection partners and the broader Protection Cluster to ensure continuity of service delivery and promote the sharing of good practices and lessons learned. UNICEF aims to build community capacity around identification of vulnerable children, psychosocial support and monitoring and referral to services. Prevention messages linked to family separation, recruitment and mines will be an integral part of information provided to children and the community at large
Integrated emergency WASH and Nutrition response in Aweil North county in North Bahr El Ghazal This program will build the capacity of communities in responding to emergency WASH gaps brought by influx in displaced and host populations while integrating the intervention with critical nutrition and cholera response.
Aweil North county is faced with adverse WASH needs while food insecurity is worsening in the area currently at IPC4 leading to high malnutrition at above 20% GAM. Cholera has been identified especially in high settlement areas.
In light of this and in accordance to SSHF HRP guideline, HACT is proposing to respond in an integrated manner  that combines WASH and nutrition. While the former is the main area of response, HACT will also carry out nutrition response activities especially screening, messaging and referral to nutrition partners.
Cholera cases that are identified will be referred to health partners in the area. Significantly high numbers of displaced persons mean that these protection cases will be addressed in partnership with protection areas.
Provision of Emergency Nutrition Project in Gogrial West, Warrap state, South Sudan The project will contribute to the HRP 2017 objective of saving lives and alleviate the suffering of those most in need of assistance and protection, protect the rights and uphold the dignity of the most vulnerable, and Support at-risk communities to sustain their capacity to cope with significant threats. WVSS seeks SSHF to deliver of quality lifesaving nutrition interventions which will focus on the management of SAM and MAM in girls and boys 6-59 months, PLW and elderly in the POC’s to increase access to integrated programmes preventing under-nutrition for the most vulnerable and at risk, including through IYCF for  PLW prioritized on the basis of planned scale up capacity BSFP for  under-fives based on assessment of those most at risk in conflict and high burden States to ensure enhanced needs analysis of nutrition situation and robust monitoring and coordination of emergency nutrition responses to Increase access to integrated nutrition, health and WASH  responses in counties with critical levels of acute malnutrition.

Emergency response survey, clearance and risk education for famine affected populations in southern Unity The aim of the proposed project is to increase the ability of Leer’s famine and conflict affected population to move freely, safely and in dignity, including when attempting to access humanitarian assistance.

DDG will deploy mobile survey, clearance and risk education capacities that will be roving across Leer County (specific areas of intervention to be determined through survey) to enhance safety and freedom of movement across Leer County, prioritising tasks which will support the overall famine response in the area. Capacity on the ground will consist of one combined roving Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), Non-Technical Survey (NTS) and Risk Education (RE) team. These respective activities are further elaborated below:

	NTS – to target and prioritise clearance according to humanitarian need, survey will be conducted using a mixture of key informant interviews and household questionnaires held with the local population and authorities. NTS will determine the likely locations and density of ERW contamination  in target locations, whilst assessing the impact of these hazards on famine affected populations in any given location
	EOD – once NTS has determined the nature of the threat, technical capacities within the team will be deployed to remove and destroy identified hazards
	RE – the team will contain a small capacity to deliver risk messaging raising awareness about how to recognise dangerous items, as well as associated safe practices that should be followed, and high risk behaviour that should be avoided in relation to ERW. 

These activities will be conducted primarily to benefit 8,000 famine and conflict affected people in Leer County, with a special emphasis on vulnerable individuals attempting to access humanitarian services being delivered under the Southern Unity famine response. To this end, key stakeholder s with whom DDG will coordinate / provide support include identified partners that have committed to delivering static or mobile interventions in Leer, namely the 14 non-mine action partners that have been identified in the latest Southern Unity Response Matrix (circulated on 29 March 2017 by UNOCHA). Combined with survey activities described above, information on planned activities gathered from these partners will be used to target EOD and RE according to the greatest humanitarian needs.
