Provision of immediate and lifesaving nutrition services to people affected by ongoing clashes and conflicts in hotspots and IDP across Sudan ltp class="" style=""gtltspan style="font-family:"gtThe
project aims at responding to ongoing emergency resulting from ongoing clashes
which started from April 15, 2023, which affected most areas including Khartoum
and Darfur states which resulted in thousands of displaced people in and out
the country and others are in hotspots areas not able to access essential services
including health and nutrition. The project will ensure to provide nutrition
services to affected persons in needs of nutrition services with more focus to
children under five, pregnant and lactating mothers. The project target
hotspots areas in Khartoum and Darfur states however some interventions may
target IDPs in Kassala, AlJazeera and Red Sea after consultations with
nutrition cluster coordination team. The targeted interventions include
provision of CMAM including OTP, TSFP, SC and referral system to children under
five and PLWs suffering from acute malnutrition. Considering increased factors
affecting nutrition during this period including lack of access to food, lack
of access to water, poor sanitation, lack of access to health services which
increased the vulnerability to malnutrition, the project will strengthen the
screening mainly with MUAC to detect cases of malnutrition and refer them to
treatment program.  This will be
accomplished through existing static nutrition sites and also mobile services
will be provided where there are issues of accessing the services. An emphasize
will be on infant and young child nutrition (IYCN), and the project will aim at
protecting, support and promoting IYCN practices through integrated approach
with other available sectors such as health, WASH, protection including
referrals to other services such as reproductive health, mental health and
psychosocial services. Since most areas are currently not accessible, the
approach will be to submit a concept note with detailed planned activities once
a consortium member is able to access a targeted area and respond
immediately.  For the project to be
successful and to respond to emerging needs without overlapping there will be
close coordination between consortium members, nutrition cluster and other
stakeholders. Also, we expect the coordination and collaboration with WHO,
UNICEF, WFP and F/SMOH for provision of essential supplies such as RUTF, RUSF,
SAM kits and other medicines as per CMAM protocols. For accountability to
affected population, consortium members will ensure that targeted people are
aware of services package available in the language mainly used by
beneficiaries. On other side through MEAL team, complaints and feedback
mechanism will be established through complain desk, hotline where possible and
other means and their feedback will be analyzed for improved services. Cross
cutting issues will be considered including attention to persons with
disability to ensure they can access services while the team will be oriented
on GBV/PSEA and referral mechanism to protection services.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtsince the project is 48 hours response project and targets, activities and locations will be confirmed at concept note stage, the detailed and revised locations, activities and targets will be provided at the project revision stage. ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgt
