Emergency health intervention to crisis affected populations in Fangak County ltpgtltspangtPersistent flooding and precarious conflicts have convoluted to negative impacts
on the general food security, health, and well-being of the people in Fangak
County, Jonglei State. Floods have displaced populations, devastated farms and
livestock, and reduced access to humanitarian services, including health.
Floods have destroyed health, water, hygiene, and sanitation facilities
and thereby limiting access to health. Conflicts that have persisted as cattle
raids, revenge killings, and conflict over resources have resulted in
population displacement and reduced access to farms for food production as well
as other humanitarian services. The recent conflict in Sudan dissipated an
influx of returnees to South Sudan, some of whom have made their way to Fangak
thereby compromising an already weak health system in the county. The results
have been poor health outcomes across the county.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtltspangtThe
aim of this intervention is to provide lifesaving essential health care services and instill resilience in access to health for vulnerable populations
within Fangak County. This will increase access to essential healthcare
services, reduce excess morbidity and mortality, enhance resilience, and
promote humanitarian-development linkages. Services will be offered
through two static health facilities at Toch in Marieng Payam and Chotbora in
Old Fangak. This Project will also support mobile health services in
hard-to-reach areas or in places where the population has settled due to flood
or conflict-related displacement. lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtltspangtThe project will target 67,144 beneficiaries
(Female:34,915 Male: 32,229). Services to be provided include outpatient
consultations through both static facilities and outreach services, Antenatal
care, safe delivery and neonatal care, disease lt/spangtsurveillanceltspangt, wound care, health education at the facility and community level,
screening for malnutrition, and lt/spangtimmunization services. The project will also
recruit and train health workers and volunteers from the community to ensure
access to services even during periods of displacement. lt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtIn implementation, the project will ensure quality programming by ensuring
equity and inclusion, especially for marginalized sections of the population.
Given that various sociocultural norms and practices limit women’s access to
reproductive, maternal, and child health services, special attention will
be accorded to community sensitization against search through home health
promoters. with a high risk of exposing women and girls to gender-based
violence through their participation in project activities, the project has
in-built accountability mechanisms including policy on the prevention of sexual
exploitation and abuse. WRSS has also established a complaints and feedback
mechanism that will be used to collect feedback and complaints and adapt
project implementation to meet community needs. lt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtThis project will be implemented in close collaboration with partners from
other sectors including WASH, Nutrition, and protection to ensure integrated
and comprehensive access to quality health services. Through participation in
national, sub-national, and county coordination mechanisms, the project will
avoid duplication of services and ensure maximum impact to beneficiaries. lt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtThe project will work very closely with County Health Department and locally
recruited staff to build their capacity so that they can take over service
provision and continue to offer services even beyond the project period.lt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtVarious reports will be generated and shared including weekly IDSR through
the DHIS 2/EWARS system, and monthly and quarterly project report through which
progress on project implementation will be monitored, documented, and
shared. The Project will be implemented in Fangak County, Jonglei State South
Sudan for a period of 12 months starting July 2023. lt/pgtltpgt
