Improving access to life-saving WASH services and shelter, non-food items to flood affected populations in Jonglei State, through integrated multisector, mobile responses Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH) will assist with life-saving WASH services and provide emergency shelter materials and life-sustaining non-food items to the most vulnerable populations affected by the floods in: Akobo West, Ayod, Bor South, Pibor, Twic East, Nyirol and Pochall, in Jonglei state based on the needs and cluster’s prioritization. This will be done through mobile and static response modality lasting up to 6 months, which will contribute to the reduction of protection risks, rebuild livelihoods and reduce exposure to diseases attributed with poor access to water, sanitation and hygiene facilities and services, shelter conditions and lack of non-food items. 

PAH will conduct 6 mobile Shelter NFI interventions and 2 WASH static responses based on conducted in-depth, multisector needs analysis with the involvement of protection staff and the participation of the targeted populations through consultative community meetings, key informant interviews, focus group discussions with men, women, boys and girls, household level and individual interviews. 

The project aims to work closely on cooperation with static and mobile partners, supplementing activities to ongoing SSHF allocation 2 and integrating sectors of WASH, SNFI, Nutrition, Health, WASH, FSL, Protection and Education, to conduct holistic response. Where PAH’s Shelter and WASH interventions are located, PAH will implement jointly. PAH will target 15,000 beneficiaries with WASH activities (5,000 Akobo West, 10,000 Pochalla), and 90,000 for Shelter NFI support (15,000 Akobo, 5,000 Ayod, 9,000 Bor South, 30,000 Pibor, 15,000 Twic East, 16,000 Nyirol) focusing on most vulnerable households and individuals of protection risks. Both Shelter NFI and WASH teams will work closely with other mobile and static partners for Shelter NFI, WASH and FSL integration, providing key WASH kits, Shelter NFI kits, and FSL kits with hook, etc. Joint distributions will be planned for same beneficiaries.

For S/NFI PAH will deploy 3 teams with 3 staff per intervention (50% gender sensitive, including protection officer where feasible based on capacity) for a minimum of 2 weeks to conduct in-depth needs analysis in the community, risk analysis, safety audits, form feedback and complaint committees, conduct verification, registration and after final approval and release of core pipeline items, conduct distribution. Intervention is estimated to take at least 1-2 months in one location, considering the large target. State Focal Points (SFPs) and cluster coordinators will be involved in the planning, coordination and reporting of interventions. WASH component will be conducted with minimum 4 staff per location (2 WASH technicians, 2 Hygiene Officers) and supported by roving Protection Officer. Considering large coverage in both Akobo and Pochalla, and based on WASH Cluster’s strategy for Phase 1 and 2 of the response, teams will work in the area for up to 6 months. 

Joint Post-distribution monitoring (PDM) and post intervention monitoring (PIM) exercise will be conducted 1 month after the intervention (where possible, 3 PDM for SNFI and at least 1 PIM for WASH) by the MampE team, programme team, RRC leaders and the beneficiaries to measure the impact of the projects and to determine if the assistance reached the most vulnerable groups. Community committees will be formed for complaint/feedback mechanism and to insure community participation and empowerment at all phases of project cycle. Whereas continuous rapid monitoring will be conducted across the interventions. Feedback on the findings will be shared with SNFI and WASH Clusters which will feed into ICWG.
