Wash assistance to IDPs and host communities in Wau Shilluk, South Sudan The situation in South Sudan remains volatile despite the signature of the Peace Agreement between the government and the opposition last year. The humanitarian needs in South Sudan are still high in several sectors, one of the priority sectors being Water, Sanitation and Hygiene. Since January 2014, SOLIDARITES INTERNATIONAL (SI) has been responding to emergency WaSH needs amongst IDP’s in a number of different locations. With this proposal, SI plans to continue to provide basic WaSH services in the informal settlement of IDP’s in Wau Shilluk, Upper Nile State. Emergency needs in this area remain high: the only sources of clean drinking water for the IDP’s residing in this cholera-prone area are the water treatment systems installed and maintained by SI. SI thus intends to continue ensuring access to safe drinking water and environmental health to the displaced population. The intervention approach will be adapted to the security and access-related constraints as well as concerns related to exit strategy. 

The intervention is going to include the following components:
WATER PROVISION: Maintaining the existing water supply infrastructure (Surface Water Treatment, or SWAT, Systems) installed by SI in Wau Shilluk will be a key element for continuing the provision of safe water in Wau Shilluk. To ensure sustainability and allow program exit in the future, pilot solutions will be implemented, such as a hydrological survey and construction of trial wells. 
A pilot distribution of water filters to the households having difficulties in accessing water had been implemented on the previous project and its success allows SI to organize a 2nd round of distribution on this new project in order to provide an alternative of WATER ACCESS for those sectors where the supply through SWATs is not technically feasible.

HYGIENE PROMOTION / NFI: The high population density in Wau Shilluk IDP site, as well as the fact that the area is cholera-prone, means that the use of appropriate hygiene practices is essential. Hygiene promotion sessions adapted to the living environment of the IDP’s will be conducted in order to reduce risks of water-borne diseases. Moreover, regular distributions of soap will be conducted to make sure that the community has the capacity to implement good hygiene practices. Finally, a strong collaboration with the schools in Wau Shilluk will allow SI to target the most critical population, HP activities will be implemented systematically as part of the educational plan development in all the schools.

ENVIRONNEMENTAL HEALTH: Solid waste management activities (garbage collection and safe disposal) will be conducted through the implementation of community-led environmental cleaning campaigns to ensure vector control and prevent the spread of diseases. 
Each component of the project will be developed in a participatory approach in order to provide to the people of technical tools and promote the community autonomy in management and response to needs.
Improving the nutritional status of children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) from communities directly or indirectly affected by the conflict through the treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Melut, Maiwut and Ulang Counties; Upper Nile State. Under the proposed intervention, GOAL will provide curative responses to severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) through the provision of outpatient therapeutic programmes (OTPs) and targeted supplementary feeding programmes (TSFPs) for children 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). The intervention will be targeted at maiwut, Melut and Ulang Counties, Upper Nile State. GOAL will also in close consultation with the cluster and CHF support return to Baliet if and when the IDPs GOAL has been serving since 2014 in Melut return to Baliet.
GOAL will conduct mass outreach and mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) screening campaigns within communities, IDP camps, and the Melut PoC targeting children aged 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) with aim of increasing new case finding and facility referrals. GOAL includes infant and young child feeding (IYCF) promotional sessions conducted with female and male caretakers of children 6-59 months as well as PLW to ensure positive preventative behaviours accompany therapeutic care. Furthermore, GOAL proposes a mass IYCF education campaign targeted at women of child-bearing age in all area of operation.
GOAL’s nutrition programme also focuses on capacity building for both female and male staff through on-the-job training, as well as through participation in formal trainings and courses on IYCF and on Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM), which promotes the identification and treatment of SAM and MAM in line with the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) Ministry of Health (MoH) guidelines and SPHERE standards.
Sustaining Life-saving Primary Health Care Services and Provision of Rapid Response and Psychosocial Support for Vulnerable IDPs, Returnees and Affected Host Communities in Upper Nile, Unity, and Jonglei States The proposed project intends to contribute to the reduction of avoidable mortality and morbidity through the provision of life-saving primary health care (PHC) services to vulnerable internally displaced populations and conflict-affected host communities through a flexible, reactive and harmonized approach. The project will be implemented in Upper Nile State (Malakal POC and Renk County) as well as in hard to reach areas accessed by the Rapid Response Team (RRT).  The RRT works with existing health facilities and partners on the ground, where they exist. This is done by providing capacity building of staff and facilities, leaving behind supplies of medicines and equipment.  The use of a combination of semi-static and mobile clinics allows IOM to respond rapidly to the precise contextual needs within a given emergency situation. 

Evidence shows that population displacement exacerbates poor health outcomes due to lack of access to preventive, curative and referral services, destruction of public health infrastructure, and disruption of continuity of care. Furthermore, health risks such as malnutrition among children under five, limited access to adequate supplies of clean and safe water, exposure to gender based violence, preference of women to give birth at home and lack of awareness on key health education messages have also contributed to make individuals, especially women and boys and girls under five, in targeted sites more vulnerable to life-threatening health risks.

Moreover, IOM’s role implementing both emergency WASH and Health activities is a significant comparative advantage for integrating health and hygiene promotion activities. Yet, successful endeavors to prevent waterborne diseases (including cholera, Hepatitis E, malaria, etc.) will require strong leadership and coordination efforts. Beyond the acute emergency needs, IOM intends to integrate capacity building for both health workers and community members on prevention of HIV and Tuberculosis (TB) as well as sensitization on community based approaches for mental health and psychosocial support.
Responding to Food Security and Livelihood Emergencies for Vulnerable IDPS and Host Communities in Akobo County of Jonglei  State This project is aimed at preventing food shortage between now and the next planting season in 2016 in the target County of Akobo  , by providing vegetable seeds which will improve food production and provision of fishing kits which will contribute to better nutrition and improvement in household income and also better their livelihoods ,this will take place between January and March and also preposition of the crop seeds by March in time for the planting season this will contribute to food production and reduce the reliance on food aid .The agriculture inputs and fishing kits will be given to 12000 beneficiaries (2000 households) vulnerable Host Communities and IDPs, 7200 women and 4800 men, the children (boys and girls)will indirectly benefit from their parents. Special focus will be given to people with disability to make sure they are not left out the modality to be used will be one kit per HH. Capacity building training will be conducted for 5 days on good farming practices to selected recipient beneficiaries at the Payam level as TOTs to the rest of the Community for sustainability purposes targeting 300 people (180 women and 120 men). The selection of the trainees will done in collaboration with the County Agriculture Department and other stakeholders in an inclusive selection meeting to identity the right TOTs that will meet the criteria that will be agreed upon ,ensuring decisions are collective and representative . The overall project objective is Improved food security and livelihoods at HH level for 12,000 vulnerable IDPs and Host community in the target location of Akobo. Nile Hope has conducted the necessary assessments, also involving other agencies). We also worked closely with the County authority, RRC, local leaders, IDPs and host community representatives in mapping the emergency needs. This is corroborated by reports from our field coordinators and staff. The needs were captured through various tools (questionnaires, case studies) and methodologies including interrogative observation, interviews and discussion meetings with key community leaders and local actors, focus group discussions with IDPs and host community members. A post distribution monitoring will be conducted to obtain feedback from the beneficiaries for example regarding, timeline, quality and quantity of the kits provided. This also helps Nile Hope and its partners to learn and also improve future programming. The outcome of the post monitoring distribution (PDM) will reflect in the interim and final report.
Enhancing the resilience of children and adolescents in Yambio and Mayom Counties through provision of life-saving Education in Emergency activities With the proposed project, INTERSOS will build on education gains made under 2016 CHF 1st standard allocation to continue ensuring access to quality education in a safe and protective environment for conflict-affected girls and boys in Yambio (WES) and Mayom (US) counties. In order to achieve this, INTERSOS will continue to establish learning spaces across the target locations, in places where IDPs have settled or places with high numbers of returnees. Teaching and learning materials will be provided to schools and teachers will be trained on classroom management, pedagogy, lesson planning and child protection. Lifesaving messaging will be integrated throughout and teachers will be supported to introduce these themes into their classrooms. INTERSOS will support 80 EiE facilitators (volunteer teachers) with a monthly incentive and will also work closely with PTAs to encourage community fundraising initiatives that cover the costs associated with school running in the absence of longer term support, while ensuring children are equally able to attend school. Throughout the project, INTERSOS will ensure messaging on lifesaving skills, encouraging EiE facilitators to integrate them into their teaching. Finally, INTERSOS will make use of UNICEF’s recently released materials on life-skills and peace-building with 60 out-of-school adolescents, taking them through the curriculum over eight weeks, supporting them to further develop their resilience. The eight weeks of training will culminate in an INTERSOS-supported, youth-led community initiative aimed at promoting education for all and enhancing community-based, positive coping mechanisms.
Procurement and distribution of dignity kits The goal of this project is to ensure the safety and dignity of the most vulnerable populations in conflict affected areas of South Sudan. The project will  contribute to restore dignity of women and girls affected by conflict with the procurement and distribution of dignity kits in Western Equatoria (Mundri East and West and Yambio),) and Central Equatori (Yei, Lainya and Juba). Dignity kits will be distributed through GBV partners to be used as a entry point to sensitize community of GBV risks and disseminate message about services available to encourage service uptake.
Provision of emergency lifesaving and gender sensitive high impact health services for hard to reach, underserved and conflict affected IDPs and vulnerable communities in Leer County of Unity state and Fangak County of Jonglei state. The project is intended to provide a high impact life saving emergency health care to IDPs and the Host community in selected localities of both counties reaching to a total of 56,190 beneficiaries who are among the most vulnerable communities of selected two counties Fangak and Leer counties, This project will basically focus in two localities of Puom and Leer Kok island. Provision of Maternal and Child Health care, Reproductive Health Care and Safe motherhood services will be the other prong of service delivery in addition provision of basic MHPSS services will also be part of the package to the conflict affected, traumatized, rape survivors and others multitude causes that builds up with the prolonged and repeated insecure situation in the counties.
Procurement of education supplies to Improve access to quality education opportunities for 15,500 children, adolescents and adults (teachers) in Eastern Equatoria. The core pipeline of education supplies is an essential component of education in emergencies preparedness and response that positively contributes to ensure girls, boys, and young people affected by emergencies have access to quality education.  It significantly enhances the teaching and learning process.  

UNICEF will procure and preposition 380 student kits, 304 teacher kits, 63 ECD kits, 30,400 ruled exercise books, 15,200 squared exercise books, 15,200 school bags, and 1267 Dignity kits in Torit. The distribution of the education supplies will be conducted by UNICEF and the State Ministry of Education.  This mechanism has proved efficient in other states without a large number of partners. 

The project will ensure timely delivery and distribution of the education supplies to the end-users.  UNICEF and the State Ministry of Education will conduct regular end-user monitoring of the supplies and provide technical guidance whenever necessary.
provision of Emergency WaSH Assistance for Conflict affected IDPs, Returnees and Host Communities in Manyo and Panyikang, Upper Nile State South Sudan Development Agency is one of a few national NGOs offering humanitarian services to conflict affected population in the hard-to-reach areas in Upper Nile State. Upper Nile is the second most affected State with estimated 795,000 caseloads. According to South Sudan Development Agency is one of a few national NGOs offering humanitarian services to conflict affected population in the hard-to-reach areas in Upper Nile State. Upper Nile is the second most affected State with estimated 795,000 caseloads. According to HNO 2016, SSUDA targeted areas remains largely inaccessible but with high WASH needs outside of PoC due to the sporadic violence. Access to safe drinking water and sanitation services has been seriously affected in Manyo because fighting along Western bank of River Nile that has displaced thousands of women, men and children seeking safety in Adhidwoi and Magenist payams in Manyo County. Field reports from SSUDA staff and joint assessments indicate that the IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Manyo draw raw water from River Nile and use it for drinking without treatment. Open defecation is very common along the river banks as there are no latrines, women and girls are more affected psychologically by lack of latrines and menstrual management challenges as it touches on their dignity.

SSUDA’s proposed activities seek to address existing emergency needs to assist affected people in Manyo access sustained clean and safe drinking water improve Sanitation in the conflict affected areas through  Hygiene Promotion sensitization to increase knowledge on good practices to prevent water borne diseases. SSUDA will use participatory and gender sensitive approaches in working with the community to increase community ownership, full participation of men and women as well as sustainability. SSUDA has physical presence in the two target counties adding value to the project. SSUDA will adopt ender-sensitive approach that recognizes needs, responsibilities, and vulnerabilities of affected women, girls, boys and men. SSUDA complies with the IASC Guidelines for Gender-based Violence Emergency Interventions. SSUDA is a member of Protection Cluster and integrates SOP for Prevention and Response to SGBV.
Distribution of Life-saving Non-Food Items and Emergency Shelter materials to most vulnerable people in Jonglei and other affcted states, based on assessed needs, through mobile Emergency Response Teams, coordinating with S/NFI Cluster. INTERSOS will respond to the gender and age specific needs by distributing life-saving NFIs and shelter items to 30000 people, assessed and verified as part of the population most in need in Jonglei State and other states Central Equatoria, with possible intervention also covering other conflict – affected States (mainly ‘hard-to-reach’ areas, under coordination with the Cluster and its partner)

INTERSOS will carefully take into consideration differential needs, concerns and priorities of women
and girls, men and boys of different ages and disparities such as disabilities in its response, implementing Protection principles into the activities.

One Emergency Response Team, composed by 2 expatriates PMs and 3 mobile ERT members (2 based in Juba and 1 based in Bor), will be in charge for responding to the emerging needs. The team will be deployed according to the needs and will conduct assessments, verifications, registrations and distributions and post-distribution monitoring, which targets life-saving needs of:
1) newly displaced IDPs within Jonglei State and Central Equatoriaother states,
2) newly displaced IDPs from different states to Jonglei State and Central Equatoriaother states,
3) communities in Jonglei State and Central Equatoria other states  who are locked into deep field locations due to insecurity, and who are cut off from markets and livelihoods,
4) host communities in Jonglei State and Central Equatoriaother states, as a way of conflict mitigation measure, in particular to those who have used their already limited resources to provide for the displaced.
5) Returnees to Jonglei State and Central Equatoriaother states

Geographical focus will be primarily, but not only, on conflict affected counties inside Jonglei state (particularly in Fangak, Canal/Pigi, Nyirol, Uror, Ayod, Akobo and Bor South counties) and Central Equatoria (particularly in Juba and Terekeka counties). Additionally, in case of urgent needs and gap agreed with the Shelter - NFI cluster, the ERTs could also intervene in other States, such as Western Equatoria.

INTERSOS will continue its role as SFP Jonglei in supporting response of other actors by coordinating
activities of Shelter - NFI actors in Jonglei state, so that there will be neither gap nor overlap of the response (including monthly coordination meeting in Bor and Monthly Stock and Distribution report)
also managing logistic arrangement which will be done by 1  warehouse assistant based in Bor, as it happened in 2015.
Emergency child protection and child centered resilience building in Wau Emergency child protection and child centered resilience building in Wau project, at a cost of $ 80,001.76 will scale up integrated, quality and emergency family reunification for missing, separated and unaccompanied children (100 registered,followed up and reunified 60 boys and 40 girls), psycho-social will relieve distress and restore normalcy of 2,400 children (1,200 boys and 1,200 girls) through the local psycho-social support and the existing structures like schools, churches and open play grounds, strengthening of social structures through rapid training's and orientation and promotion of child rights and SGBV by means of community awareness and discussions to increase the well being of the affected boys, girls, youths and their families in Wau.
Continued access to education in emergency to the affected Communities of Fangak Continued access to education in emergency affected counties of Jonglei state and Central project, will deliver lifesaving education services to newly and earlier displaced IDPs and distressed children who have sought Continued access to education in emergency affected county of Jonglei state project, will deliver lifesaving education services to distressed children of the IDPs who have been displaced due to the recent floods and recurrent emergency in Old Fangak, Marean, Paguir and Toch. 

The CHF grant will support the provision of psycho-social support services and life skills education for 9,778 school age boys and girls, ECD activities for 2500 pre-school aged boys and girls in selected population pockets of, Toch, old Fangak, Marean, Paguir in Fangak County. Key messages on hygiene and health delivered to children will contribute to the reduction in water born diseases among children, psychosocial
Provision of integrated emergency nutrition services to vulnerable communities in Renk County This project aims to reduce morbidity and mortality due to severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in displaced populations and acutely vulnerable host communities by expanding the availability, utilisation and quality of essential preventative and curative nutrition services for boys and girls under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Medair will respond in Renk County where there is a worsening nutritional emergency and GAM rates amongst the host are exceeding 30%. 

In Renk County Medair will strengthen and expand provision of the full integrated CMAM programme including infant and young child feeding (IYCF) promotion, active case finding and defaulter tracking in three static locations and up to ten mobile locations. This includes a Stabilisation Centre (SC) for the management of children with SAM who have complications. Medair has been working in Renk County since 2011 and continues to fill a critical gap as the only nutrition service provider however, given the recently worsening GAM levels and low coverage, the programme needs to ramp up further. The recent SMART survey conducted by Medair in May-June 2016 has highlighted a critical situation with a camp GAM rate by WHZ of 27.6% and a host GAM rate by WHZ of 34.8% despite ongoing nutrition programming.  The nutrition project in Renk is part of  Medair’s wider multisectoral responses, which includes health and WASH services addressing some of the underlying contributors to malnutrition. 

Given the impact of social and care environment on nutrition, special attention will continue to be given to behaviour change. It includes the continued implementation of the Care Group Model with the focus on behaviours including IYCF, health and hygiene. Medair will continue to use periodic household KPC and SMART surveys to evaluate performance and progress on IYCF and health and hygiene behaviours as well as GAM, morbidity and mortality.
