This project will be implemented in Nyirol County of the former Jonglei State in South Sudan. In response to South Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SSHF) first round allocation of 2019 and considering phasing out of the current SSHF funding project which is ongoing in Nyirol County, SCI is proposing to continue the current nutrition service in order to save lives and reduce the impact of malnutrition on the undeserved and affected people in Nyirol County of Jonglei State through attaining the most vulnerable groups of the population (under five children amp Pregnant and Lactating women (PLWs). 
Due to unstable security situation of the area, food insecurity, limited safe water supply and poor hygienic practice among the population of Nyirol County, nutrition situation has not been shown a significant improvement and remain unacceptable. Given the current security threats, people’s common movement for cattle grazing, food insecurity, poor Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) service and high rate of malnutrition, the continuation and scaling up of services to address Sever Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and  Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) through the Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) is paramount. 
. 
This proposed response will be implemented through strengthening the existing static and outreach nutrition sites through deploying/strengthening mobile team to scale up the nutrition response coverage through Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). Rapid assessment and continuous surveillance of the nutrition situation will be done to ensure that the intended population has timely appropriate care and treatment services based on need and evidence.
