Early action intervention to the expected floods through Health, Nutrition and Gender Based Violence interventions in Malakal, Upper Nile State ltpgtlt/pgtltp class="" style=""gtInternational Medical Corps UK is requesting
funding to provide integrated lifesaving health, gender-based violence (GBV),
MHPSS and nutrition services to respond to the flood affected communities and
prepare for the anticipated flooding in Malakal.ltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="" style=""gtltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtThe nutrition response will aim to reach 4,812 direct
beneficiaries (1889 boys, 1962 girls and 961 pregnant and lactating women - PLW)
among the population anticipated to be displaced. The proposed nutrition
response will focus on the treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition among
children aged 0-59 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW), including
active and passive screening for early detection and treatment of severe acute
malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) at static and mobile
sites. The project will support and promote optimal breastfeeding and
complementary feeding practices through Maternal-Infant Young Child Nutrition
(MIYCN) activities focusing on the first 1,000 days of a child's life. IMC
will rehabilitate two static outreach sites and establish one integrated mobile
nutrition services delivery point in Malakal. These will enable IMC to expand
its response capacity to reach more under five children and PLW who will be
affected by the flood, including returnees who have been impacted by the Sudan
crisis. lt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:9.95ptmargin-right:0cmmargin-bottom:

integrated health response will support an estimated lta name="_Int_9STFumJe"gt21,119
peoplelt/agt over a six-month period (6,209 men, 6,463 women, 4,308 girls
and 4,139 boys). This represents 30% of the target population in the SSHF
allocation strategy and was determined with consideration for other healthcare
services funded by the UNICEF/World Bank and BHA. The activities involve the
deployment of mobile medical teams (MMT) to provide essential life-saving care
and referral support services to flood-displaced populations, support health
facilities by prepositioning medicines and medical commodities in anticipation
of the isolation of health facilities by flood. The MMTs will be integrated
with nutrition teams and provide integrated services at the same locations to
ensure complementarity. The location for implementation will be determined by
the evolution of the floods within Malakal. Essential health services will
focus on delivering maternal and child healthcare and elements of MISP (Minimum
Initial Service Package) in emergencies service packages, communicable and
non-communicable diseases treatment, treatment for injuries and basic first
aid, active and passive disease surveillance, and response, maintain the supply
of rapid diagnostic tests, and increase the range of services available to
beneficiaries by expanding the Mental Health and Psychosocial Support
(MHPSS), and GBV response services (Clinical Management of Rape).lt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:9.95pt"gtltspan lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial background-position: initial background-size: initial background-repeat: initial background-attachment: initial background-origin: initial background-clip: initial"gtIlt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US" style="background-image: initial background-position: initial background-size: initial background-repeat: initial background-attachment: initial background-origin: initial background-clip: initial"gtMC will provide GBV services to
the conflict-affected, internally displaced people (IDPs) in Malakal town and
Malakal Protection of Civilians (PoC). This project will directly benefit
16,458 (6,762 Women, 3106 Men, 3,505 Girls, 3,085 Boys) within the
project period. GBV response activities will focus on provision of survivor
centered case management for GBV survivors as well as provision of emergency
cash for GBV survivors to facilitate case management process. Group
psychosocial support activities will be conducted within the Women and Girls
Safe Spaces (WGSSs) to enhance recovery. IMC will integrate GBV prevention
and risk mitigation activities such provision of fuel efficient stove and
provide capacity building training to front line workers and community leaders.
