Enhancing emergency Shelter and Non-food items response to populations affected by conflict in Duk, Pigi/Canal, Twich East counties in Jonglei State and  Koch, Panyijar counties of  Unity State, South Sudan. This project aims at providing emergency shelter and non-food items to people established to be in dire need in prioritized SA2 2019 counties of Duk (2,000 beneficiaries) Pigi/Canal (1,500 beneficiaries) and Twic East 500 (beneficiaries) in Jonglei State of South Sudan. Besides, it will provide Shelter/NFI support to 3,500 beneficiaries in Unity State, serving 2,000 beneficiaries in Koch County and 1,500 beneficiaries in Panyijar.  Recent humanitarian reports indicate that Duk County has 5,000 people in need and Pigi County with 4,500 people in need – all of them facing various forms of humanitarian need. The project targets 7,500 people (M= 2,636 F= 4,864).  Out of this, 4,496 estimated to be IDPs, while 2,019 considered returnees. Host communities are estimated at 639 and the remaining 346 considered ‘others’, people with no community link.
The intervention is part of a continuing humanitarian emergency response to conflict-affected populations across South Sudan. It builds on existing best practices in emergencies, while supporting resilience. Key stages of the project includes assessment verification storage transportation distribution monitoring and reporting. The project gives special priority to vulnerable people e.g. .the elderly, disabled, pregnant and lactating mothers, child-headed or female-headed households.
The effort addresses needs in hard to reach areas, while robustly responding to returnees from Ethiopia and in-country PoCs. It responds to both the physical and psychosocial protection needs of affected populations. Distribution of emergency shelter items addresses the immediate shelter needs of new arrivals in the target locations. Based on need, the project team will supply additional reinforcement shelter kits. The action will seek to protect environments for the crisis-affected vulnerable groups, namely girls, boys, youth, the elderly and disabled. An established, inclusive protection team will engage communities and form effective community-based PSS networks. The networks will create conducive environments for local solutions, e.g. timely identification of risks, dangers and impediments initiating practical mitigation measures of risks initiating advocacy drives and promoting peaceful co-existence within heterogeneous returnee groups. This checks further displacements and possible family separations.
Assessments, verifications and deliveries will be continuous, based on needs of affected populations. The project will tailor response to the specific needs established by the assessment and verification on the ground. ADA teams will give priority to most-conflict affected  Bomas or Payams. Protecting safety, security and the dignity of beneficiaries will guide all response efforts. The project will produce and display messages in local language showing proper use of mosquito nets, fire extinguishers and the cooking set.
A community engagement dialogue with local community leaders and the affected communities will be held to deliberate on active participation of diverse sections of the affected population. This will include training on maters of land use, access to common community services, mechanisms for PSS  and equity in representativeness of the various vulnerable groups in the project implementation and monitoring. These activities will address core crosscutting project concerns on AAP, HLP and GBV.
To enhance integration with CCCM activities, ADA will seek advice from SFP to understand CCCMs’ integration approaches in Upper Nile and Jonglei States.  Likewise, integration with FSL, WASH and Health will require localized consultation with respective sector (FSL,WASH, Health etc. ) to ensure  that technical advice for better Shelter/NFI integrational approaches are used to maximize interventional impact on individuals and communities targeted
