Strengthening and mainstreaming Community Communications and Engagement (CCE) in South Sudan humanitarian response In the South Sudan humanitarian response, agencies and organizations have their own systems for measuring and implementing community engagement. However, a country-wide strategy at the cluster level has not yet been developed. Despite recent developments with the peace process, it is estimated that over 7 million will be in need of humanitarian assistance (over half the population) in 2019. After five years of sustained conflict, there is a continued need to put affected populations at the center of the humanitarian response. It is through both a desire of organizations and the ICWG, HCT to mainstream community communications and engagement across the humanitarian response in South Sudan.

This project sets the foundation to ensure that there is an active and engaged Community Communications and Engagement (CCE) working group, working with multi-sector partners to develop more strategic and coordinated CCE approaches. Through this project, the Community Communications and Engagement (CCE) working group will be strengthen to consistently advise the ICWG and HCT on CCE and CCE will be embedded in each national level clusters. The project will provide partners with the technical support, and practical experience to deliver this effectively, ensuring a quality, needs-based and accountable response to the affected population, with a focus on ensuring the needs of marginalized groups are met. 

The main goal for this project is to mainstream and implement CCE best practice for the entire cluster system in South Sudan through information sharing and the promotion of standardized community communication and engagement activities. The objectives are based on the need to mainstream CCE, CwC and AAP as developed in the previous 2018 HRP and the current 2019 HRP. These objectives have been further developed by the CCE-WG. The needs outlined in the most recent HRPs highlight the need and desire amongst participating parties for deeper cooperation between implementing partners and clusters to share best practice and pool experience in both a nationwide and local context, especially considering the rise in the use of protests as a form of engagement by host and IDP populations. By drawing on a shared CCE expertise to ease and more effectively implement activities and forewarn and forestall issues it will be possible to increase the ability of humanitarian organizations to respond to the actual needs of the population and it will change their attitude towards humanitarian agencies. CCE will also support a humanitarian response based on respect for the dignity of communities affected by civil conflict in South Sudan.
Lifesaving Treatment and Prevention of Acute Malnutrition for Children Under 5 and Pregnant and Lactating Women in NBeG and Warrap States Action Against Hunger proposes a 6-month lifesaving, gender-sensitive nutrition project, from 1st March 2019 to 30th August 2019, for the first standard allocation of SSHF funding. The present proposal is in line with HRP 2019 for nutrition needs in the high burden counties of Aweil East, Gogrial West and Gogrial East. The overall objective of this project is to reduce mortality and morbidity among children under 5 (U5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) through nutrition specific intervention. In line with CMAM protocol, the project’s two main components are:

1. Life-saving component through detection and treatment of children under 5 (boys and girls) with severe and moderate acute malnutrition and malnourished PLW from both host and IDP/returnees’ communities in the catchment area of targeted nutrition sites. This includes nutrition services at nutrition sites providing Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) for SAM children without complications as well as Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) for MAM children and malnourished PLW and two Stabilisation Centres (SC) to admit and treat SAM children U5 with medical complications. At community level, Community Volunteers (CVs) will conduct active case finding to strengthen early detection and referral of malnourished children U5 and PLW. Project interventions directly target children under 5 without discrimination between boys and girls, and vulnerable PLW. Variations of numbers between the two sex groups will be monitored to ensure immediate actions are taken when large gaps are noticed.

2. Prevention of malnutrition in children under 5 and pregnant and lactating mothers through promotion of MIYCN, health, WASH and proper care practices through sensitization sessions at nutrition site level, as well as community sensitization and mobilization through Mother to Mother Support Groups (MtMSG). Within these groups, the organization will pilot the Mother MUAC approach to empower caretakers to screen and refer malnourished children in their own communities. Prevention activities will take into account the different needs for women, men, boys and girls from initial needs assessment design, taking into account a gender balance in the assessment interview and ensuring that questions cover all perspectives. In 2019, Male Group Discussions will inform men caregivers on crucial nutrition and health topics, as well as safely challenge gender inequalities at the heart of causes of malnutrition and severe food insecurity.

Project design involves/considers representation of both men and women community members and leaders. Integration of the nutrition program with nutrition-sensitive WaSH and FSL activities brings greater synergy and cohesion to sustainably tackle the underlying causes of malnutrition.
Enhancing Food Security and Livelihoods of Vulnerable Agropastoralists Communities in Aweil East County, former Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, South Sudan The current lean season is likely to see deterioration in food security in Aweil East as households deplete their food stocks and are unable to purchase sufficient food at extremely high prices (FEWSNET Food Security Outlook, 2018-2020 IPC June 2019 Update).

Many vulnerable host and displaced families, especially women, widowed women, child headed households, the elderly, boys and girls and children solely depend on fishing among other coping strategies like vegetable farming along rivers and flood plains in Aweil East. Fishing resources  and vegetable production are projected to deliver immediate/short term benefits and still play a very key role in securing household food and nutrition security in 2019 especially among children (boys and girls) under 5 years and pregnant women.

VSF Suisse proposes an emergency response in line with 2019 HRP and FSL Cluster strategy that will prioritize the immediate and short term lifesaving activities via prepositioning of emergency fishing and vegetable livelihood kits from FAO Core pipeline targeting populations in IPC 4, who are also at risk of malnutrition. This is also in line with the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan and FSL cluster second strategic objective of emergency life-saving livelihood protection support from FAO and NGO partners, with additional funding from SSHF, to scale up further the provision of emergency livelihood kits- vegetable and fishing kits for vulnerable households.

Targeted direct beneficiaries are made up of 6,666 households comprised of 7500 men, 7500 women, 12498 boys and 12498 girls in Aweil East - Yargot and Mangok Payams.

VSF Suisse 24 years of experience, presence on the ground and proven capacity will deliver high quality programming by leveraging on strong grass root networks, local knowledge, understanding of seasonal and location specific contexts. The action will build on current VSF Suisse SSHF funded action that has so far reached over 30,000 vulnerable beneficiaries with emergency livelihood kits in Aweil East, and sustain momentum of activities targeting recently displaced and vulnerable populations due to floods, fire tragedy and high food insecurity.

The project will be aimed at ensuring cost efficiency through complementing FAO, European Union and The Brooke projects and further complemented by pre-positioning of fishing and vegetable kits through FAO pipeline and seasonality in order to promote preparedness, household resilience and self-reliance through protection of livelihood opportunities.

The project will ensure a multi-sectoral approach through inter-cluster synergies, quality programming, cost efficiency in addition to mainstreaming cross-cutting programmatic approaches that include application of Accountability to Affected Populations principles, protection including Gender Based Violence/ Sexual exploitation mitigation measures, Do No Harm, conflict context analysis, gender equity, HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention, environmental conservation and sustainability.
Strengthening CCCM Mobile Response in Displaced Sites and Camp-like Settings in Southern Counties of Unity State The project will ensure the provision of timely, well-coordinated and integrated humanitarian intervention to 10,000 IDPs (1000 men, 5,000 women, 1000 boys and 3,000 girls) to improve their well-being, their resilience and participation in decision-making processes. It will respond to emergency needs by empowering community and strengthening the capacities of local actors to have access to both essentials camp management service. If funded, the project will contribute significantly to service delivery in hard-to-reach locations of Panyijiar (Ganyliel, Kol, Mayom, Nyal, Pachak, Pachar, Pachinjok, Tharnhom and Tiap)  coordinating multi-sectorial assistance through organizing site level coordination meetings with community members from both displaced and host communities conducting site maintenance and service mapping activities to support minimum living standard and protection of people with special needs in coordination with actors and strengthening community structure by training community members on CCCM and humanitarian response.
Protection response in flood affected communities in South Sudan Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is requesting funding to address emergency protection concerns resulting from widespread flooding that has affected more than 908,000 people across South Sudan, of least 420,000 are in immediate need of humanitarian assistance (first paragraph, page 1, SSHF Allocation Strategy Paper- 2nd reserve allocation, Nov 2019). 

NP proposes to deploy a Mobile Protection Response Team (MPRT) to conduct at least five response missions over the period of three months. The proposed project period will enable NP to respond to urgent needs within the allocated funding ceiling. Should additional funds be secured then additional activities within an extend period may be implemented. Missions will focus on responding to the immediate protection needs of South Sudanese communities worst affected by late-2019 flooding. While a mobile response is proposed, this is only with the mind to deploy additional scale up existing NP flood response activities in key flood-affected areas. For example, additional resources will be deployed to expand the current NP flood response (including in Jonglei and Upper Nile) operating jointly with existing NP static teams, multi-cluster partners and from NP static sites in, for example, Lankien and Ulang. Where necessary and appropriate NP may also expand flood response activities to Northern Bahr el Ghazal, deploying additional resources from NP’s static bases in Wau and Aweil to flood-affected areas. 

To support this process, NP will operationalize the following planning processes: 
 1) Preparations, in consultation with OCHA and the Protection Cluster (PC), confirming response locations, contacting partners on ground and arranging logistical and security aspects. 
2) Following NP’s deployment to the area, NP will undertake response activities (which are expected to take between two and ten days response) to address the most pressing needs identified to increase the safety and security of at risk civilians. These activities may range from strategic patrolling, protective presence, referral, community capacity building/awareness raising on sexual and gender-based violence and child protection, as well as protection mainstreaming to partner organizations and technical protection support during registration and distributions. 
3) NP will then provide a de-briefing in Juba to share analysis, produce and disseminate response reports to the PC and relevant stakeholders. Should there be urgent need, the team may share early findings with the PC from the field or immediately upon return to Juba to support and inform inter-sector, frontline response. A full protection mission report will then be submitted to the cluster within one week
Increase access of essential primary health care services to 7,704 unreached population of vulnerable IPDs, Returnees and host community during SSHF first  allocation of 2019 in Canal/Pigi, Jonglei state and 2,889 in Twic County Warrap state South Sudan. Project Summary :	The 6 months project plans to reach 1589 men, 2,648 women, 2,860 boys and 3,496 girls (10,593) with emergency health services in Canal/Pigi county and Twic County Providing OPD consultation to vulnerable persons seeking health care services, Antenatal/Postnatal care services to pregnant and lactating mothers and conducting normal deliveries, screening of children for malnutrition with MUAC, WASH in health facilities, Immunization services for children 6 months to 15 years, and women of childbearing ages among the target population and SGBV and referral of complicated cases for secondary health services such as in Old Fangak Hospital (SSMR/MSF) or Juaibor PHCC+ (HFO), and Korwai PHCC Health cluster emergency packages of mobile teams and PHCU selected will be fully implemented through essential primary health Services in 1 mobile Teams, and 1 PHCU in Canal/Pigi (Ataar One and Korfulus) in Diel there is PHCU funded by World Bank Funding under (IMC). Therefore, the 1 mobile Unit will be in Atar 1 and the other will in Korfulus because these areas are extremely far from other health facilities under World Bank. HFO will work alongside CHDs stakeholders and IMC the developmental partner in the area to encourage sustainability/Resilience mechanism to strengthen the existing County health system through training of health workers and CHD surveillance and M amp E officers in order to improve surveillance system through weekly and monthly reporting (EWARS and Integrated Disease Surveillance Response-IDSR and HMIS). There will be coordination mechanism with existing partners such as developmental partners for health, WASH, Protection, FSL in order to enhance synergy of humanitarian emergency response in the areas HealthCare Foundation Organization will be working throughout the project Implementation. We will plan with local stakeholders and developmental health partners for good strategic exit should the impact of humanitarian crisis improve at level that can be managed by developmental health projects after 6 months. However, HFO will evaluate together with HRP/UNOCHA partners the situation after 6 months and we will plan accordingly. CHDs and beneficiaries will be involved with our M amp E through every step of implementation of the project. in last two months there proper transition of the health facilities to long term partners to continue the services without interruption and the local authority and CHD will be in the loop of every step during Implementation.
