Emergency Resiliency-building, WASH Intervention in South Kordofan The main goal of this project is to provide Life-saving WASH services for the under-served, vulnerable populations of the newly accessible areas of conflict affected localities of Dallami and Habila, South Kordofan totaling 68,400 beneficiaries. The emergency relief will be the foundation for  more resilient water, community-based safe water systems in the targeted villages.
Rational for the project: According to a number of 2017 joint agency assessment. surveys, including the Inter Agency Assessment Mission 24-27 July published by Coordinated Assessments, Internally displaced Persons are moving to Dalami Town, Kadber, Kukaya and Algardoud villages in government controlled parts of Dallami Locality in South Kordofan from other areas of the locality under the control of SPLM-N in search of food and access to basic services. So far IDPs (951 households) have been verified by humanitarian partners in the 4 locations out of this, 2,024 people (834 hh) were displaced this year. (provide information on trends of displacement) Authorities estimated that between 10-20 families are crossing over to any of the three villages and Dallami Town daily. The IDPs are moving from many villages in Dallami and Heiban localities. About 80% of the displaced are women and children. (Most of the displaced populations are women, the total number of the assessed IDPs is 1,651 households 8,088 in the 4 locations. Out of these, 520 HHs or 2,141 individuals of IDPs arrived during 2017 and there are some additional newly arrived not yet registered. There are also 1,511 HH 8,082 individuals of returnees reported in 2017 according to IOM. The team was informed that 10 to 20 individuals arrive daily. The total population in Dallami in areas under GoS is 12,455 individuals).  This situation is sadly similar in the nearby locality of Habila and where IAS has also been implementing WASH services for decades.
The greatest needs are for rehabilitations and upgrades of existing water points, water maintenance training, along with sanitation and hygiene training and promotion for communities and schools, as well finding as new safe water sources.
IAS has its own drilling rig, Solar-Power MWY construction team, skilled technicians, geologists, water maintenance instructors, and CDOs will expertise in CLTS/CATS and Water Committee level one and two training.
Among our objectives is to pass on our expertise to the targeted beneficiaries, prevent Acute Watery Diarrhea, ensure women are involved in the design and maintenance of new water systems, ensure women and girls are part of WMCs and 50% of sanitation and hygiene classes, women and children are protected, and environmental concerns are central to the project life cycle.
Phase 1: Inception and design, campaign and recruit water maintenance committees and duty-bearers from among the beneficiaries, advocate and instruct intervention strategy including gender and environmental issues, geo-hydro-logical surveys.
2: Planning, Beneficiary-Community meetings including 50% women attending, EIA ,GIA and PIA surveys for each water point. (GIA - Gender Impact Survey)
3. Execute project activities: 2 CATS for host communities, 10 new latrines for IDPs, 3 Solar-Powered MWYs, 5 new boreholes w/ HPs, 46 rehabs, 4 school hand-washing units, 54 level 1amp2 ( Water system equipment operation amp maintenance training, water quality monitoring, AWD prevention,Sanitation amp Hygiene promotions and cross-cutting issues) training classes. Each successful WMC will receive cash for purchasing water point repair tool kits.
4. Monitoring amp Evaluation (Beneficiary involvement)
5. Close-out resiliency amp sustainability activities such as beneficiary-community planning meetings for financing of water point maintenance such as usage fees for those who can afford and ongoing sanitation amp hygiene promotion and activities by enthusiastic  volunteers. IAS.
