Protection and Shelter response for new IDPs in Kadugli Sudan continues to suffer a myriad of effects of conflict both as  result of external forces of conflict between Government of Sudan and South Sudan and internally with rebel groups and organized militia. The prolonged conflict has created a huge number of refugees fleeing South Sudan for safety and internally there are hundreds of thousand of internally displaced persons in the internal conflict zones of the Kordofan and Darfur States. 
This project is based on a response to the new IDPs in Kadugli South Kordofan in the areas of Murta, Kulba ad Telo around Kadugli town. The increasing number of IDPs in the area is causing a great strain on the already poor host community that lacks services given the remoteness of South Kordofan and the continued fighting that has slowed infrastructural development. This project will be in two responses protection and Emergency Shelter and NFI (ES/NFI)
The project aims to offer protection services to IDPs in the areas and offer them a chance to live in dignity. The activities in this project are for the initial response but will include aspect of strengthening community systems and community based structures not only to respond to but also support their members to cope with shocks and aftermaths of conflict. 
Activities will be in line with the international standard of Protection Protocols by UNHCR and other UN partners, that aim to provide psycho-social support, legal-aid services, and increase the opportunities for awareness raising with links to referral pathways and income generating opportunities for human security. The project will work with the Network of volunteers lawyers supporting the South Kordofan Project to support beneficiaries identified with legal problems. The identification will be by the Social workers who will receive basic paralegal coaching from the lawyers. This will enable them document and refer cases to the network of lawyers and to the SMOSW. 
The project will link the community based protection mechanisms with the state authorities and other humanitarian actors, particularly SMOSW field offices, service providers (health, education, and protection), civil organizations (CBOs, other NGOs and INGOs) and legal authorities (jurisdiction system, traditional law system, police). Cross-cutting issues such as: environment mainstreaming  gender empowerment (e.g. highlighting the protection of young women, single elderly women) and vulnerability measures (HIV/AIDS awareness through protection measures, considering people with disability, both physical and mental,) will be considered throughout the project.  
The project will ensure that a thorough vulnerability assessment is undertaken together with state organs and community leaders to select project beneficiaries particularly those benefiting in the ES/NFI section of the project. 
The main activities of the protection project are Construction of community services center in Murta shareable with Kulba and one in Tello and Development of community early warning systems as well as early response mechanism for disaster affected communities, as they can organize communities for assessments and responses. As well as implementing, Monitoring, evaluation and reporting, while the ES/NFI will be to  procure and distribute Improved Emergency Shelter materials to 1,000 HHs for newly displaced IDPs in Kadugli.
