Provision of shelter and Non-Food Items to households affected by conflict in South Sudan World Vision proposes an Emergency Shelter and Non Food Items (ES/NFI) intervention with the primary objective of protecting and saving lives of the returnees and conflict displaced individuals in need of support in order to cope with living in open, often, risking their lives due to lack of proper shelter and basic non-food items . The response will be done within the prioritized locations and any other locations that might experience new displacements. The organization seeks to achieve this through the utilization of its frontline mobile team and the experienced static staff in its various operational areas. The project is proposed to run from 1st September 2018 to Match 2019 (7 Months). WVSS will utilize the ES/NFI from the core-pipeline managed by IOM on behalf of the ES/NFI Cluster.

20,227 IDPs and returnees (approximately 5000 households), comprising of 5,866 women, 5,663 men 8,698 children affected by the conflict will be targeted. 80 percent (16,182) of these will be the conflict displaced people, while the remaining 20 percent (4,045) will be the returnees. The returnees are anticipated mainly in the Greater Equatoria and Upper Nile region. Priority States will be Upper Nile (Maiwut and Longochuk), Jonglei (Uror and Nyirol) and Western Equatoria (Yambio, Tambura, Nagero and Nzara). 

WVSS will continue to be part of the responses that are multi-cluster and multi- agency. This will ensure that the needs of the affected populations are served in a more holistic and shortest possible response time. In some locations multi sectorial Survival Kits will be distributed through the Rapid Response Mechanism. World Vision will continue to participate in the Inter Agency Rapid Needs Assessments (IRNA) to determine the lifesaving needs of the affected populations. For the responses that do not require the multi cluster and multi-agency response, WVSS will use its experienced staff to conduct the ES-NFI specific assessments to facilitate the identification of affected IDPs, returnees and other vulnerable groups (women, children, elderly, and people living with disability). 

In selected locations, WVSS will conduct Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) to determine among other issues, the level of satisfaction and usage of ES/NFIs distributed. The PDMs will be complemented by the Onsite Distribution Monitoring (OSDM) exercise that World Vision deploys at various stages of the response cycle. Throughout f the project implementation (assessment, verification, registration, distribution and PDMs) World Vision will ensure that accountability to the affected populations is visible at all levels. The affected populations will be involved in the project from the time of needs identification to the point of the PDMs. All relevant project information will be shared with the affected populations. This will ensure that quality humanitarian assistance is given to the targeted affected populations. World Vision, through its internal capacity in protection and gender based violence, will seek to main stream the protection and GBV through this project.

In the past, World Vision has worked with some National NGOs, (South Sudan Development Agency and Africa Development Agency) and will continue to use its experience to work with other national NGOs especially the ones that are new to the cluster systems and are part of the HRP. World Vision will also continue working with other International NGOs all for the purpose of having greater impact in delivering assistance to the neediest populations.
