Multi-sectoral assistance for newly accessible areas of East Jebel Marra, South Darfur state South Darfur is suffering from a protracted humanitarian crisis stemming from conflict exasperated by multiple shocks especially flooding and disease outbreaks. The Jebel Marra massif has been especially hard hit by the Darfur crisis and much of the region has been outside of the control of the Government of Sudan (GoS) for many years. Conflict and displacement have affected the Darfur region since 2004. Military operations in 2014 and 2015 made the Sudan Liberation Army – Abdel Wahid (SLA/AW) retreat into the Jebel Marra mountains thus reducing their area of control considerably. The signing of the Juba Peace agreement in 2020, has considerably improved humanitarian access to several areas under rebel control including East Jebel Marra locality, but with few actors already active in the area. Today, more than 80% of Jebel Marra remain under GoS control, while the remaining 20%, mostly further interior in the mountains and with high population density is controlled by SLA/AW.  

The overall security in the wider Jebel Marra remains unpredictable, with intercommunal violence reported in June 2020 and January 2021, resulting in large displacement. The main drivers of displacement in Jebel Marra remain armed conflict between GoS and SLA/AW or between factions of the SLA/AW and in some instances, inter-tribal fighting, triggered by competition over scarce resources, mainly water and pasture and mining.  The remaining populations in the areas of armed conflict are reported to have moved to the mountains and move back and forth between the mountains and the main towns whenever calm is restored. Many fled to IDP camps south of Jebel Marra and around Nyala. 

Mercy Corps (MC) and NNGO partner, Rural Development Organisation (RDO), plan to implement a multi sectoral response in the WASH, Nutrition and Protection. The activities will take place in East Jebel Marra locality especially the settlements of Suni, Jawa, Deribat, Leiba, Tabaldiya Mara.
2021 Multi Sector Needs Assessment Nation Wide to inform the HNO and HRP Processes in Sudan Before 2020, there had been no nationwide Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) conducted in Sudan. Primary data collection has historically been challenging, limited in scope and often focused in areas with high humanitarian presence. In 2020, coinciding with the changes in Sudan’s political landscape and met with wide support, the Sudan Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) led by the United Nation’s Office for Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA), agreed to undertake an MSNA to assess country-wide humanitarian needs. The MNSA was supported by REACH Initiative on the technical development, and partners – including International Organization for Migration (IOM) – contributed to the implementation of the nationwide assessment. The resulting MSNA fed into the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and informed response planning under the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP).

To correspond with the annual publication of the HRP, to assess humanitarian needs and limit information gaps and the underrepresentation of vulnerable populations, Sudan’s MSNA needs to be updated regularly, to reflect changing needs, and ensure humanitarian intervention remains evidence-based. As agreed by the HCT, and upon the recommendation of the National Assessment Task Team (NATT), OCHA will lead the implementation of the 2021 MSNA, working closely with IOM and other partners. The 2021 MSNA will  inform the 2022 HNO and HRP. This assessment will be critical for improving the coordination and collaboration between humanitarian partners to ensure more effective and targeted humanitarian response planning.

Data will be collected countrywide, adopting different interview modalities based on access and feasibility. Data collection will be conducted in person where possible and in strict adherence to COVID-19 mitigation measures across the five Darfur states, South and West Kordofan, Khartoum, Kassala, Gedaref and Blue Nile (where IOM has an operational presence). Across the remaining states, and when faced with access constraints, data collection will be conducted via telephone to ensure robust data collection in all localities across Sudan. Target population groups will be expanded from the initial MSNA to include non-displaced populations and, IDPs, in consideration of the assessment areas differentiated under the HNO.

Under OCHA and the NATT”s leadership, the key outputs for the 2021 MSNA as been agreed in collaboration with, the Inter Sector Coordination Group (ISCG) and these are:  follows:
1. Joint revision of the MSNA survey/data collection tool to reflect lessons learned and additional indicators required, including design, testing, and piloting of the data collection tool. 
2. Coordination of data collection, including logistics and access plans, hiring of enumerators, and allocating needed resources, as well as training enumerators involved in data collection. 
3. Implementation of data collection processes nationwide. 
4. Verification and data cleaning to compile a final dataset ready to be shared with the wider humanitarian community
Reserve for emergency response to conflict and new displacement in Jebel Moon in West Darfur According to inter-agency assessment report on 2 December, there are about 5,000-10,000 IDPs, because of the conflict in Jebel Moon. These conflict-affected persons require immediate life-saving humanitarian assistance in their locations of displacement. The conflict and displacement prompted family separation that exposes women and girls to multiple forms of violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect. This report set the Reserve for Emergency allocation methodology into action, mobilizing a multi-prong response including WASH, Shelter/NFI, Child Protection, and Gender-based Violence. WR Sudan plans to implement the GBV component, and here presents a plan for a short-term immediate (up to 3 months) response focusing on aiding GBV survivors and other vulnerable women through the provision of dignity kits. The project will target 4,000 vulnerable women and girls of reproductive age in the Jebel Moon area, prioritizing survivors of GBV, and provide them with dignity kit support for 3 months. This intervention, as part of a multi-sectoral intervention, directly supports SRP 2021 objective 1 to provide timely aid to conflict-affected people, as well as contributing to the mainstreaming of protection into the humanitarian sector.
Geneina Emergency Conflict Response According to WFP verification report on 24th January, there are about 107,000 IDPs, including 67,380 IDPs in 71 gathering sites in the town and an estimated 40,000 IDP in As Salaam and Um Shijeira villages outside Al Geneina 250 households in Masterei, 1150 households in Mulli and estimated 1000 households in Kreneik town and Sisi School. (source: HAC).  They require immediate life-saving Protection, health, nutrition and WASH services in their locations of displacement.  The conflict and displacement prompted family separation that exposes children to multiple forms of violence, abuse, exploitation, and neglect.

WR have mobilized a short-term immediate (up to 3 months) ERRM response within health, nutrition, WASH, and NFIs sectors for the response to the newly displaced IDPs in Geneina across gathering points.  The partners seek to extend this response for a longer time period (6 months) and extend service provision beyond the currently targeted 9 gathering points.  To this end WR has reached over 30,000 IDPs in 15 gathering points with ERRM funding, by providing primary health and nutrition care services through 9 mobile clinics, provision of clean water supply through water trucking and NFIs to most vulnerable among the IDPs,  WR is committed to responding to the needs across populations on both sides of the conflict, in order to ensure conflict-sensitive programming.  

To that effect, WR in this project plans to intervene in 18 gathering points (GP) with a population of over 39,216 IDPs with approximately (22,598 Female, 17,014 Male).  The targeted gathering points includes, AL sultan court, Agriculture Research Center, Religious affairs and Zakat, Development planning Office, Zahraa School, Forests Office, the locality office, Ministry of Education Office, Social Affairs Office, Dar Masalit High School, Local government Office, Urban Planning + and Infrastructure Main Office, Al-Moudamed House, Imam Al-Kadhim School, West of Burhani Square, Zakat Sub office, Academy, and Secondary girls School. These GPs will receive multi sectoral support through this project for the period of 6 months until the IDPs voluntarily are resettled. Access to essential lifesaving NFIs, water, hygiene, sanitation, health and Nutrition services will be provided in an integrated manner in all the targeted 18 gathering points. 

Under health 9 mobile clinics and 2 fixed health facilities will be supported to provide primary health care intergrated with Nutrition services. Under WASH, clean water supply will be provided through water trucking, installation of tanks, and provision of jericans to IDPs vulnerable households. Communal latrines will be constructed at gathering points installed with hand washing facilities with soap for hand washing. Hygiene promotion and environmental activities will be conducted on regular basis to maintain clean living environmental in the gathering points. Under NFIs, communal shelters will be constructed where the IDPs have no shelters and essential kitchen sets and hygiene kits provided to most vulnerable among the IDPs.
Prepositioning and distribution of WASH and Health humanitarian supplies The “Prepositioning and Distribution of WASH and Health Humanitarian Supplies” project will allow UNICEF to support the Government of Sudan and sector partners to reduce the impact of conflicts, floods and to minimize the fatality of water-borne and vector-borne diseases and other public health emergencies through timely prepositioning of WASH and health supplies. Release of prepositioned items under this grant to sector partners will only take place in the event of a new or deteriorating emergency in consultation with the relevant sector coordinator. Partners will be selected based on the partners active presence at the ground, humanitarian intervention needs, comparative advantages and coordinated interventions. SHF partners will be considered as a priority for releasing the prepositioned supplies, allowing for complementarity with RfE and ERRM SHF interventions. Once agreed, partner will pick the agreed upon supplies from UNICEF Khartoum or states warehouse in two working days. Sector coordinator will immediately inform SHF on the details of the released stock. Interventions should take place within the first two months of an emergency. The items under this grant cannot be used for ongoing protracted humanitarian interventions. Sector coordinator will inform, post response, SHF of the total amount of stock released for given emergency, so to assess SHF’s contribution to the overall response.

For WASH, 300,000 conflict, epidemics and flood affected population will benefit from   UNICEF procured, prepositioned and distributed WASH live saving supplies as follows:
	WASH Hygiene kit (17,000)
	Water purification (NaDCC) 33mg tabs/BOX-10000 (2000)
	Water purification (NaDCC) 1.67g tabs/PAC-200 (11,000)
	Water floc. amp disinfectant/BOX-240 (4,000)
	Pool tester, PH amp Chlorine (500)
	Bacteriological H2 Skit (2000)
	Distribution Unit (Booster pump and hoses) (5)
	Bladder with its repair kit 10000 Lit (90)
	Plastic sheeting for Latrines (10,000)
	Squatting plate for Latrines (5,000)
	Soap, cartons of 180 pieces (1,800)

For health, 82 Integrated Management of Childhood Illness kits and 100 primary health care kits will be provided to serve a total of 750,000 children under 5 years of age and 1,000,000 other individuals of all ages. UNICEF will provide the kits to partners who are working in health, who have valid agreements with UNICEF and who operate in affected areas.
Integrated Multi-sectoral Health and Food Security Response in Blue Nile State. Health: 
The health response will be implemented to decrease morbidity and mortality levels in the regions by rehabilitating 3 health facilities in degraded conditions and increasing access to health care for 5 villages not in reach of health facilities. The rehabilitations will support existing health systems so that the able-bodied men and women who act as the breadwinners for their household as well as the more vulnerable such as children, elderly, those experiencing chronic illnesses or disabilities, and pregnant and lactating women, will be able to access treatment in adequate safe spaces. Given the high incidence of home births (90%) with traditional birth attendants (TBAs), clean delivery kits will be prepositioned at the health facilities, to support neonatal and maternal health services. Two TBAs per health facility will be trained (total of 48) on the use of the kits as well as on best practices for safe deliveries. 

In addition to supporting health facilities, P1 will focus on building local capacity in 5 community health volunteers (CHVs), training them to reach villages with essential medicines and medical supplies for those villages that are located more than 5km’s from the health facility and with more than 40 HHs. In many cases, the households in these villages are female-headed, elderly-headed, internally displaced, or of refugee status with children under five years old. The CHVs will be trained to prioritize child health (specifically children under 5) by identifying and treating malaria, pneumonia and acute watery diarrhea (AWD). P1 will educate the CHVs on signs and symptoms as well as prevention of these morbidities for them to incorporate in prevention messaging, 

Food Security and Livelihoods:
Addressing the health status of the population in this way supports outcomes from the activities in the third sector of this response: food security and livelihoods. P1 will distribute seed (staple crop and vegetable seeds) and tools (malodas and watering cans) to 1,000 farmers in A2 only for their use in planting the amount of seed required to supply a portion of their HH’s annual food requirements. Of the proposed activities in this program, FSL distributions will target the isolated enclaves, areas that may only be reachable through third-party coordination. Given accessibility constraints, P1 will work through community program management committees (CPMC), empowering them to fill this gap (a total target of 100 farmers equipped as trainers of trainers). The CPMCs will be led through a series of modules on how to conduct distributions, as well as on agronomic techniques and post-harvest handling practices, so that they, in turn, will be able to pass the knowledge on to an estimated 100 farmers each throughout the course of the year.
NFIs Reserve for Emergency response to newly accessible areas in Jebel Marra (JM) and to IDPs- Central Darfur State The aim of this proposal is to fill the gap in the current humanitarian response to newly accessible areas in Jebel Marra (JM) and to IDPs. The areas labelled as newly accessible have not been accessed since 2009. Due to the access constraints and active conflict, the mode of humanitarian response in the targeted areas was not systematic and suffered from interruption. 
Since May 2021, the active conflict in JM and around Sortony and protection concerns inside Sortony forced 23,400 people to displace from their place of residency. In 2020, 5,000 HHs have been displaced also to Toga in Central JM locality. In addition, 362 HHs have been displaced from Sortony to Sabanga. Finally, 613 HHs have been displaced from Darbat in SD to Manabo in January 2020. It is worth to mention, part of affected people faced short term displacement in Borgo (NJM Locality). Approximately 10,500 people returned back to their place of residency in 2020 in Borgo. In June 2021 also 2,800 people returned in NJM locality to their villages to catch the agriculture season although they lost all assets due to the inter-communal conflict. More recently (November 2021), an escalation of violence between SLA-Mubarak and SLA-AW forced around 500 households to flee in North Jebel Marra.
Provision of Emergency Shelters assistance to  families affected by  conflict in Jebel moon locality of West Darfur state. This ERRM  project is to address immediate Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ES/NFIs) needs of families affected by conflict between Misseriya Jebel and Arab tribes that broke out on 17 November and continued through to 20 November in  Jebel Moon locality of west darfur state. The assistance will target a total of  1720 households that will receive  improved emergency  shelters (ES). SORR will distribute the shelter kits to the most in need households in families, train beneficiaries on hazard mitigation and transition to recovery and develope environmental awareness materials and disseminate to the communities, conduct PSEA training to SORR staffs amp beneficiaries.
Emergency Shelter items which include (Large poles, Medium poles, Shargani, Locally Produced Rope (Jamica) and burnt engine oil) will be procured locally within West Darfur State for quick response to the needs of the affected families. SORR will distribute the shelter kits to the most in need households in families, train beneficiaries on environmental friendly techniques of shelter construction, PSEA training and conduct protection training to reduce the risk of GBV and Child abuse related to shelter. During all these trainings, COVID 19 awareness topics will be included.
This rapid response is aimed at reducing the suffering of conflict affected victims, restoring dignity and hope. The project will be implemented by SORR, in partnership with line ministries, community-based committees, local authorities, community leaders and the beneficiaries themselves. SORR is a registered national NGO with a strong presence in West Darfur State for over 15 years. SORR has rich experience in implementing ESNFI interventions and is an active member of the ES/NFI sector at both state and federal levels.
Provision of integrated Health, Nutrition, WASH and Protection for vulnerable communities in SK SCI, in coordination with local authorities, will provide life-saving support including health, nutrition, WASH and child protection services in Dellami, Rashad, Abu Jubeiha, and Dilling. SCI will seek to strengthen the quality of primary healthcare services, through the provision of life-saving medicines, health information/reporting tools, basic medical equipment, and furniture to primary healthcare facilities (approximately 5) in the targeted locations, as well as training and regular monitoring and support visits for health workers, and supporting vaccination campaigns, and support to referrals for secondary healthcare.  SCI will support the provision of essential nutrition services for malnourished children, support Outpatient Therapeutic Programme, and will train nutrition workers and volunteers, support mass nutrition screening, and support improved infant and young child feeding practices through awareness-raising sessions and establishment of Mother-to-Mother Support Groups.  SCI will rehabilitate or improve WASH facilities at Health Facilities and conduct WASH awareness-raising.  Save the Children will provide psychosocial support through activities and services from Multipurpose Community Safe Spaces, with a focus on children, adolescents and youth.   Children’s regular and consistent engagement in group activities can positively impact their well-being, enhance their resilience and reduce their stress. Group activities provide opportunities for children to come together in a predictable and stimulating environment to be safe, to learn, to express themselves, to make connections and to feel supported.  Furthermore, Save the Children will strengthen and capacitate community-based protection networks to raise awareness of risks and mitigation measures in their communities.  
Furthermore, Save the Children will support Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Agency (SRRA), other local authorities and community-based organisations to fulfil their functions, through training as well as sustained guidance on appropriate coordination and governance mechanisms achieved through secondment to SRRA.
Protection support to vulnerable refugee populations in Khartoum The proposed intervention aims to meet the immediate protection and GBV  needs of vulnerable refugee populations in Khartoum state (Khartoum and Jebal Aulya). Khartoum hosts a large population of refugees who lack sufficient support to meet their immediate needs and mitigate protection risks. These populations are dispersed around marginalized areas of the state and reside in a diversity of substandard conditions. The proposed intervention aims to build upon DRC’s existing work in Khartoum supporting refugee, migrant and vulnerable host community populations and further extend comprehensive protection and GBV assistance to those in the greatest need. DRC is targeting areas which have high concentrations of refugee populations that have diverse multi-sector needs which are currently contributing to the creation or exacerbation of protection vulnerabilities and risks.  
The proposed intervention includes protection and GBV activities that actively respond to the immediate protection needs of vulnerable refugees in Khartoum and include, GBV case management, creation of new CBPNs, individual protection assistance to acute protection needs (cash or in-kind), social cohesion activities in areas hosting a high concentration of refugee populations, strengthening and extending referral pathways, etc. 

All proposed activities will be coordinated with other actors in order to provide an integrated multisector response to meet all needs whenever possible.
Reserve for emergency to respond to the relocation of IDPs from gathering sites to Krindig camps in West Darfur The project seeks to enable people displaced by conflicts in Krinding camp access safe water and improve their hygiene and sanitation. The project will construct 20 latrines in schools, rehabilitate 20 latrines in schools, distribute hygiene items in 10 schools and also distribute hygiene kits to 494 households, provide500 cartons of soap to households and schools and provide 20 hand washing facilities to improve hand hygiene in schools.  The project will also create awareness in the targeted community on hygiene and sanitation and distribute IEC materials and conduct outreaches in the IDP camps and in schools. To guarantee access to clean and safe water, the project will drill 10 hand pumps and rehabilitate another 20 hand pumps. The project will also support water tracking in Krindig IDP for those in locations without water sources.
