Emergency WASH support to IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host communities in Ayod, Nyirol and Ulang Counties -  Jonglei and Upper Nile States A comprehensive WASH response is planned in the locations of Jonglei (Ayod, Nyirol) and Upper Nile (Ulang ) over a period of 6 months targeting vulnerable communities of IDPs, host communities and returnees in locations with chronic emergency WASH needs. This project aims to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting from waterborne diseases by increasing access to safe water, sanitation and better hygiene practices among the affected population in Ayod, Nyirol and Ulang. CMD will provide the aforementioned vulnerable communities with WASH services that will seek to improve access to safe and clean water, sanitation services and WASH NFIs. A coordinated response is planned with partners working in the areas targeted that will seek to create synergies with other thematic responses such as health, nutrition, education, protection and food security. The WASH component will comprise of both hardware and software activities ranging from hand pump rehabilitations/repairs, emergency water treatment, latrine/bathing shelter setups/rehabilitations, solid waste management, massive hygiene promotion and surveillance, provision of WASH NFIs and strengthening local coordination.

Basic hygiene and safe water chain messaging will be provided in parallel to the water and sanitation interventions through training of short-term hygiene promoters in each community. Promoters will be trained for a target ratio of 1:250 people and provided a non-monetary incentive (e.g. soap, seeds and tools) to disseminate hygiene promotion at the household level. The project will further carry out baseline surveys in collaboration with the WASH Cluster and REACH Initiative to provide crucial WASH data such as water point mapping in locations of Ayod, Nyirol and Ulang.
Emergency Nutrition Assistance for Longechuk The existing nutrition services in Longechuk are inadequate to meet the growing needs of IDPs and the extremely vulnerable host community population. According to RI's SMART survey carried out in June 2016, the prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) stood at 27.9% (23.8 - 32.2 95% CI) and 10.8% (8.1 - 14.3). 

Longechuk was classified as highly vulnerable (high critical with access constraints) by the 2016 Nutrition Cluster Response Plan and, more recently, the April 2016 integrated food security phase classification (IPC) forecasted ‘crisis’ levels of food insecurity in Longechuk from May to July 2016. Longechuk’s IPC for acute malnutrition was also classified as ‘critical’ and is likely to deteriorate.   With GAM prevalence above the emergency threshold, there are numerous underlying factors aggravating malnutrition, including poor food security, poor infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, and limited access to existing health and nutrition services due to insecurity/access constraints.

There is an urgent need to improve access to stabilization center (SC) services for children with SAM with complications and expand the reach and coverage of out-patient therapeutic programs (OTP) and targeted supplementary feeding programs (TSFP). In addition, IYCF activities require further support, especially because vulnerable young children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in the county have specific nutritional requirements that have proven challenging to meet in the context of crisis. 

The purpose of this project is to reach children under 5, PLW, older people and other vulnerable groups in remote villages of Longechuk and in areas which are not covered by ongoing nutrition programming. The project will focus on saving lives and reducing the existing burden of SAM and MAM in order to prevent malnutrition in children 6- 59 months and PLW. Targeted locations include Mathiang Jongjith Warweng and Geulkuk payams funding will also ensure routine programming at all existing OTPs, SCs, and TSFP sites continues without interruption. Finally, lead mothers will also benefit from capacity building activities as part of the IYCF component.
Provision of NFIs and shelter materials as a lifesaving response to the most in need IDPs and Host Communities in  in Central and  Eastern Equatoria states Along with the other basic human needs, one of the most immediate needs is getting access to emergency shelter and NFI requirement for vulnerable IDPs, in particular children, female headed households, pregnant and lactating women, elderly and people with special vulnerabilities. Plan International is the Emergency Shelter and NFI State Focal Point for Lakes State since March 2014. As a state focal point for ES amp NFI Plan is coordinating needs assessments, mobilization of resources, and awareness raising/sensitization of communities as well as the coordination of response to the immediate needs of the most affected vulnerable HHs. In Central Equatoria State, Plan is implementing multiple projects, such education, vocational training, livelihoods through sponsorship and food for asset in Central Equatoria. In Eastern Equatoria food for education, food for asset, general food distribution, child protection and vocational training of youth are the projects Plan International is implementing. The implementation of these projects in Central and Eastern Equatoria states means that Plan has both the presence and the infrastructure necessary to integrate emergency shelter and NFI response with livelihood, Food assistance, sponsorship and recovery interventions. 
The project will significantly contribute in addressing the shelter and NFI needs of 20,000 individuals (4,000 HHs) of the most vulnerable IDPs and affected residents. The NFI and Emergency Shelter project will be a key to support the most in need families and individuals in provision of reasonable shelter by using locally available materials such as poles and bamboos combined with plastic sheet and NFI kits.
Provision of lifesaving emergency health supplies to the most affected and vulnerable population in the Greater Equatoria region. The current clashes have devastated the equatorial regions and the health needs continue to increase. Outbreak response and Strategic distribution of life saving drugs is a top priority in the Health Cluster, in order to prevent common childhood diseases and common morbidity and mortality due to epidemics The key area of focus of the project will be in the areas of WES,CES and EES specifically targeting the  displaced population in the most affected counties and the surrounding areas. In addition emphasis will be put in the payams that are mapped as high risk for outbreaks and epidemics. This project will enhance the response capacity of WHO to the current L3 emergency with focus on epidemic response and provision of other frontline services like emergency primary health care, support to outbreak response, mobile clinics and will further support the health cluster to perform its role as provider of last resort. In addition the project will support the distribution of the lifesaving supplies and ensure strategic pre-positioning of the much needed drugs in key locations reporting the high needs of health and critical gaps.
Education in Emergencies’ intervention for IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host communities in Ulang County Upper Nile State. Recent assessments in locations within Ulang indicate that over over 50,000 people are affected by multiple crises within and around the county  close to half children and youths between the ages of 6 and 18. Provision of Education in Emergency packages for children multiply displaced has longer-term effects on community harmony and development. CMD targets 4,400 beneficiaries under this project of which 2,142 (51%) are girls. 200 parents and teachers (80 females) are targeted for training in life skills, referral pathways for protection, nutrition and health, content for primary education curriculum and mentoring and coaching for primary education.

CMD WASH projects in the locations will complement WASH in schools activities which will involve setting up latrines in schools, rehabilitation of WASH facilities. The project will seek to make learning spaces more protective by fencing of learning spaces, rehabilitation of roofing and doors and provision of scholastic materials including desks and benches locally made to ensure community participation. 

Breakage of the education cycle plays a major role in protection issues amongst boys and girls, necessitating interventions aimed at keeping children in school. 
Provision of incentives to teachers is key to sustaining education activities within the location targeted. CMD works with local communities and prioritizes activities, which focus on the needs of children displaced. Emphasis will be on meeting the psycho – social needs of girls and boys – victims of SGBV in Upper Nile, paving way for referral mechanisms and using learning spaces as platforms for other humanitarian interventions such as health and nutrition.
Emergency WASH preparedness and response for host, IDP and returnee communities directly and indirectly affected by conflict in   Maiwut; Upper Nile State and Agok in AAA. This programme seeks to increase access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion (HP) for host, internally displaced people (IDP) and returnee communities in  Maiwut County in Upper Nile State (UNS) and Agok in Abyei Administrative Area. These WASH interventions are key part of GOAL’s integrated multi-sectoral approach, which includes the provision of life saving health, nutrition and FSL services, all of which have been designed to meet the specific needs of targeted populations.
IDP populations in UNS are currently accessing water from unprotected sources. Given their transitional nature and the loss of assets as a result of displacement, GOAL plans to provide portable and lightweight water treatment technologies, such as life straws, to allow household water filtration. GOAL will also provide community life straw for water treatment to nutrition centres where there is no potable water supply. In addition, GOAL will rehabilitate existing boreholes with hand pumps and train water user committees (WUCs) and pump mechanics where possible. This will be complimented by the provision of WASH non-food items (NFIs) like buckets, Jerry Cans for collection and storage of safe water. The NFIs are secured from UNICEF CHF funds in UNS will mainly be to support costs related to transportation and distribution.
Improving access to sanitation facilities will focus on IDP locations, given their heightened vulnerability to disease outbreaks as a result of unsanitary conditions. To this end, GOAL plans to construct gender segregated latrines with hand washing facilities (HWFs) and bathing areas the location and design of both will be decided based on consultations with community leaders, women and children to ensure the addition of same does not pose protection risks to vulnerable people. 
Hygiene Promotion will be conducted with host, IDP and returnee communities. It will be delivered to men, women and children through participatory community hygiene promotion sessions and house to house visits to ensure all vulnerable groups with communities are reached.
Strengthening the capacity of primary health care facilities to deliver life saving emergency health services integrated with nutrition services in Fangak county of Jonglei State The objective of this project is to reverse the rising mortality rate and reduce morbidity caused by malaria, diarrhea and pneumonia of children lt5 years, epidemic prone vaccine preventable diseases, medically complicated cases of severe acute malnutrition, kala azar, unsafe child deliveries, including referrals for HIV/AIDS/TB patients and victims of sexual and gender based violence and trauma. Priority will be reaching the most vulnerable children lt5 years, but also focus on adolescent girls, PLW women of IDP, women headed households, and elderly and disabled persons.  The overall objective will be achieved by: (1) Improving access to, and scaling-up responsiveness to, essential emergency health care, emergency obstetric and new born care services including services for SGBV response, and treatment for children lt 5 suffering medical complications from SAM (2) Preventing, detecting and responding to epidemic prone disease outbreaks by enhancing immunization services and increasing capacity to detect and respond to disease outbreaks.

Four locations in Fangak where large IDP populations have settled will be prioritized - Phom, Nyadin, Keew, and Juiabor. These locations will receive assistance under both objectives noted above dude to large IDP populations. This project will provide COs, nurses, CHWs and EPI workers to address the rising rate of deaths in the current crisis. CHF funding will add to funding from RRHP and UNICEF to scale-up lifesaving services, serve unreached populations and fill critical humanitarian gaps. A high priority will be given to the situation of Phom since the New Fangak County Hospital was destroyed in 2014. In Phom, access to health services has only been available through short medical outreaches provided by CMA and medical evacuation services provided by MSF-H. This project will help fill this health service gap at Phom. From the base of strengthened PHCCs, CMA will employ a robust outreach approach to reach unserved IDP and host populations located in PHCU catchment areas.
Increase access to safe and adequate water supply, proper sanitation and improvement of hygiene behavior in Nasir County The proposed six months project will be implemented in Upper Nile State targeting 18,030 direct beneficiaries and 4600 indirect beneficiaries in Nasir County which is in crisis due to insecurity and yearly flooding, presently the communities are very poor culminating into problems of unsafe water, poor hygiene and sanitation. UNKEA intends to provide WASH inputs to IDPs and host community including disabled, women headed households and gender based violence (GBV) survivors in Nasir County Upper Nile State and implementing  technical guidance training to vulnerable communities. 

UNKEA will carry out the following activities mobilization and sensitization of community through dialogue in the project area to create awareness of what project activities to be implemented, time frame and importance of the project to the community, identification and registration of beneficiaries, The community where this project will be implemented will be identified through consulting with the local authorities and other stake holders on ground on the most vulnerable groups (IDPS, Women headed Household, child headed household, disabled, gender based violence (GBV) survivors and chronically sick) who will be prioritized in the selection.

At the end of the project, UNKEA would have achieved,

	5 boreholes rehabilitated,
	2500 emergency affected people with access to improved water sources,
	5000 emergency affected people enabled to practice safe water at the household level,
	30  water management committees members trained  on the management of WASH facilities,
	7500 emergency affected people reached thorough participatory Hygiene promotion,
	5000 women amp girls enabled to practice safe, dignified menstrual hygiene management,
	30 hand washing facilities constructed,
Provision of integrated lifesaving nutrition services to children and women of Fangak County in Jonglei state, South Sudan The implementation of “provision of integrated lifesaving nutrition services to children and women in Jonglei state, South Sudan” project in the highly vulnerable and food insecure Fangak county. The project  will deliver lifesaving therapeutic and supplementary feeding services for boys and girls under 5 years, and PLWs, which will be coupled with promotion of optimal infant feeding practices in Old fangak center, Toch, Wanghot, Nyantuat, Wenglel, and Chotbora. $ 1162,189.53 will contribute to reduce morbidity and mortality for 2,216 girls and boys under-fives and 869 PLW due to acute malnutrition in IDP and host communities of Fangak county during the first half 2016.
Emergency WASH Services for Conflict-Affected Displaced Populations in Unity State Through the provision of emergency WASH services, this project aims to reduce the risk of outbreak and transmission of waterborne diseases, including Hepatitis E and cholera, in underserved locations in Rubkona and Guit counties in Unity State. In addition to the construction and operation of improved sanitation facilities (latrines with handwashing stations) and safe water infrastructure, the project will improve personal and environmental hygiene practices through hygiene promotion.

Given the deterioration of WASH facilities as a result of the conflict, the populations of the proposed locations are at significant risk of contracting water borne diseases due to a lack of access to safe water, sanitation facilities and poor hygiene behaviours.  Furthermore, a population influx has been observed since December, with the population of Bentiu and Rubkona towns increasing from 13,600 as of the 9th December to 16,805 by 12th January, according to IOM registration data further population movement is anticipated outwards from the POC if the peace process continues successfully.  Accordingly, there is an urgent need, for a comprehensive WASH response in Rubkona and Guit counties. A WASH needs assessment led by Concern, in December 2015, in Bentiu and Rubkona towns found widespread open defecation due to the severe lack of latrines, poor knowledge of key hygiene practices, and a lack of sufficient WASH NFIs required to practice good hygiene. Similarly, a multi-sectoral needs assessment in Guit county in November identified a need for hygiene promotion and WASH NFI distribution to an estimated 6,000 people in Guit town. Therefore, this project aims to raise awareness of key hygiene practices whilst simultaneously providing the basic WASH items required to enable the take-up of these practices, to avoid outbreaks of faecal-oral diseases and will support a much-needed introduction of hygiene promotion activities, with a view to minimizing the risk of disease outbreaks and equipping residents with the knowledge to reduce the risk of transmission in the event of an outbreak.

The project considers gender and age-specific needs and preferences, particularly through the design and location of latrines to be constructed, and the range of hygiene promotion methods to be used.  Furthermore, the water supply activities aim to ensure that any household is no more than 500 meters from the nearest safe water source, which particularly seeks to address protection issues, through limiting the risk of gender-based violence against women and girls, who hold primary responsibility for fetching water in the target communities.
Emergency integrated nutrition interventions for the vulnerable populations of  Aweil East and South Counties in Northern Barh el Ghazal State South Sudan The main component of this proposed project is: 1) Treatment of children suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM). As much as possible the community approach will be used to organize regular MUAC screening, for timely case identification and referrals of malnourished boys and girls under 5, while also providing regular education sessions ( IYCF, Nutrition, Health, HIV-AIDS, Hygiene and  health care practices) for caregivers during each visit.
This emergency nutrition programming in NBeG will provide integrated nutrition interventions for acute malnutrition through the integrated management of acute malnutrition (IMAM) approach targeting boys and girls under the age of five and caregivers. The project aims to increase coverage and access to the management of both moderate and severe acute malnutrition (MAM/SAM).
U5 children, boys and girls with SAM or MAM from both host and IDPs/returnees’ communities located in the program catchment area in Aweil East and South will be admitted and treated. Treatment targets children under 5 years without discrimination between boys and girls. Variations of numbers between the two groups will be monitored and action taken if there are large gaps. 
To ensure quality of nutrition services, formal training on CMAM and ongoing regular field support visits will be done throughout the project cycle.
Community participation and mobilization will be vital to ensure early detection and improved coverage of the nutrition services in the targeted areas by the mobile and outreach teams. The proposed project will complement existing nutrition programming supported by DFID, UNICEF and WFP for in kind supplies.
Training sites will facilitate female safety and encourage participation.
Health education sessions carried out every day at all IRC sites, usually attract fewer men. To encourage male caregivers to attend, IRC will provide separate, tailored health/nutrition education to  male and female caregivers.
Immunization core pipeline supplies provision and management for timely emergency preparedness and response in Equatorias regions The planned interventions aim to mitigate impact of essential EPI supplies and equipment stock out through the core pipeline in Equatoria to ensure that boys, girls and women among vulnerable populations (IDPs, and the host population) have access to Humanitarian basic health services.
Timely and appropriate provision of NFIs and emergency shelter to vulnerable populations in South Sudan This project will contribute to reducing the impact of conflict and disasters on vulnerable boys, girls, women and men in South Sudan through timely and effective assessments, adequate responses and enhanced coordination among humanitarian actors with regards to NFI/Emergency Shelter needs. 

With this project Medair aims to maintain its mobile emergency response capacity to respond to emergency situations across the country with a mobile team, with a particular focus on the newly displaced and those facing a confluence of crises. Medair will also continue to act as NFI/ES State Focal Points for Upper Nile and Central Equatoria. It is envisaged that the project will be co-funded by ECHO.
