Multi-sectoral and Integrated Emergency Response for vulnerable communities in Dolami, Talodi and Abu Gubeiha Localities of South Kordofan State (Consortium ) This project aims to contribute to the reduction of morbidity associated with malnutrition and preventing livelihood depletion of vulnerable communities through responding to immediate livelihood, water, sanitation and hygiene, nutrition, and health needs of the target population in Dalami, Talodi and Abu Gubeiha Localities of South Kordofan State. According to the latest IPC analysis, the localities targeted by this project are affected by high levels of food and nutrition insecurity (PHASE 3 and 4). A combination of shocks and stresses have affected the targeted communities including conflict and protracted displacement, loss of productive assets, climate change, degradation of natural resources and lack of basic infrastructure and services. More recently those communities were also affected by the deterioration of the macroeconomic situation which negatively affected their purchasing power further exacerbating their food and nutrition insecurity. This project targets 102,00 individuals (46,920 IDPs, 32,640 returnees and 22,440 of the destitute host communities) from Abu Gubeiha, Talodi and Dalami Localities of South Kordofan State. The main objective of the project is to assist vulnerable conflict-affected populations in achieving their own food and nutrition security and improve their livelihoods and general wellbeing through integrating FSL, WASH, health and nutrition interventions. Under food security and livelihoods this project will provide animal health services to 300,000 animals belonging to 72,000 individuals including vaccination and voucher-based animal treatment services provided through trained and equipped CAHWs. 7,800 individual will benefit from agricultural support services including provision with seeds and tools packages. Women groups will be formed and supported with training and livelihood start-up kits including goats restocking, milk processing and cheese-making, flour mills, vegetable production using solar-powered pumps, handicrafts, local nurseries, etc. The program will also support rangeland rehabilitation through community participation and cash for work program. Other vulnerable HHs who cannot participate in the labor work will be reached with the unconditional cash transfer. Under WASH, the project will establish two mini water yards, dig six boreholes and rehabilitate 30 malfunctioning hand pumps, it will also provide sanitation and hygiene services to the communities such as the construction of latrines in schools and conduct of CATS and CHAST campaigns. Health interventions include support to health and nutrition facilities through provision with facilities, drugs and equipment and strengthening of the available capacities and systems. The capacities of Community Health Workers and Community Health Promotors will be built to assist in increasing the communities’ awareness and enhance service provision. As well as surveillance, early warning and rapid response systems will be strengthened. In nutrition, a Stabilization Center and several OTPs will be established, MUAC screening will be supported and the local capacities will be improved through training of volunteers in CMAM, establishment of mother support groups to promote IYCF, as well as the awareness of the target population will be increased through development and distribution of IEC/BCC materials particularly on IYCF.
