Integrated health, general protection and GBV early action intervention in Rubkona/Bentiu ltp style="" class=""gtSouth Sudan is among the top countries known for flood annually, with high fragility and low climate readiness, making it increasingly vulnerable to climate disasters with increasing water levels being reported in Rubkona and Bentiu towns thus, putting pressure on existing dikes. Currently, IRC is present in Northern Bahr Ghazal State (Aweil East County) and Unity State (Rubkona County) including Bentiu POC, sector 4. IRC is providing integrated primary health care and reproductive health via static health facilities, safe spaces, and mobile clinics as part of IRC's early action flood response and preparedness. This will involve integrating health and GBV interventions focusing on provision of integrated lifesaving services. Static services such as GBV prevention, response, and risk mitigation, will be carried out in sector 4 of Bentiu camp as we already have safe spaces at these locations. Furthermore, the GBV team will provide mobile services along with the health team outside the Bentiu IDP Camp to the displaced population that will include women, men, girls and boys in flood prone areas of Bentiu as an early action response to floods. Existing safe spaces will serve as an entry point for GBV survivors to access the response services while static health facilities and mobile clinics will provide clinical care for survivors of GBV. These services will run alongside integrated primary health care at static health facilities for the displaced population that will include IMNCI, EPI, ANC, PNC, safe deliveries and referrals for deliveries and invasive procedure from the mobile clinics to the supported static health facility. IRC will hire case workers and train them on basic GBV concepts and inter-agency case management guidelines focused on survivor centered approach.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspan class="TrackChangeTextInsertion TrackedChange TrackChangeHoverSelectColorPurple SCXW29193168 BCX0" style="user-select: text -webkit-user-drag: none -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent text-align: left"gtltspan class="TrackedChange SCXW29193168 BCX0"gtltspan data-contrast="auto" lang="EN-US" class="TextRun SCXW29193168 BCX0" style="line-height: 17.2667px"gtltspan class="NormalTextRun TrackChangeHoverSelectHighlightPurple SCXW29193168 BCX0"gtAlong with case management services, multiple recreational activities centered on women and girls will be conducted at the safe space for provision of MHPSS. Multisector referral pathways will be established/updated to provide case management services to GBV survivors. Cash for Protection will be provided to the vulnerable women and girls in the community for risk mitigation and GBV response.  IRC will conduct Awareness raising activities in the community including information sessions, distribution of IEC materials through engaging community elders to prevent GBV. The project will also contribute to economic empowerment of Women and girls through income generation and risk mitigation activities like production of Fuel-Efficient Stoves (FES). IRC through this project, will conduct trainings of stakeholders to mainstream GBV in other sectors. ltbrgtThe IRC will implement activities that reduce or eliminate protection risks that threaten survival and will promote impartial and equitable access to essential services for individuals and groups. To ensure that all have equitable access to essential services, the IRC will identify, mitigate and address protection risks that deprive target individuals of essential services by assessing and identifying target individuals’ vulnerabilities, threats and capacities within the Rapid Response Mobile Teams. For those who face risks that threaten survival, IRC will provide individual protection assistance to include emergency protection cash, quality referrals, targeted in-kind assistance, and information services accompaniment. Group Psychosocial support will be provided to address acute stress and support the communities with strengthening their existing coping mechanisms to manage stress.   Protection teams will also conduct community-level protection monitoring to identify, document and analyze key protection issues in the affected communities while identified community-level protection issues will be prioritized for response by the IRC Protection team in consultation and close coordination with the affected community, service providers and other relevant actors. ltbrgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgt
