Emergency response to address the most urgent WASH and WASH/GBV of the flood-affected populations living in Uror and Nyirol in Jonglei State, South Sudan Solidarites International (SI) proposes to implement an emergency project to respond quickly to the WASH and WASH/GBV urgent needs in Uror and Nyirol, in Jonglei State. 
Indeed, these locations have been strongly affected by the recent floods which have damaged the infrastructures, buildings and crop fields (houses, markets, crop fields, water and sanitation systems, heath facilities, schools, etc..), preventing the populations to meet their basic needs (food, shelter/NFI, WASH, health). Due to the floods, many households had to flee, seeking refuge in informal sites.  

SI is currently implementing an EPR project and the team has been deployed in Pibor, Jonglei State, to conduct a rapid assessment and to implement the first phase response, in coordination with the actors in the field. 

Thus, in line with the EPR project, SI proposes to implement a first and second phase emergency WASH response, targeting 22 277 individuals, based on the followings: 

-	Provide immediate access to safe water
-	Improve the hygiene practices to prevent the water borne diseases 
-	Rehabilitate/repair the sanitation facilities damaged by the floods to prevent open defecation and contamination of the water 

First, SI will conduct an in-depth assessment on WASH and WASH/GBV aspects, to fully capture the needs, the context and the preferences of the populations. This assessment will allow SI to identify the most at risk population, especially of water born disease, in order to prioritize the households benefiting from the intervention. Based on the findings of the assessment, SI will design – with participation from the communities, the most appropriate response to meet the three main objectives mentioned above. 

Indeed, SI has a full set of activities to adapt the 5 month-emergency intervention to the needs and the context: 

-	Access to safe water: distribution of water treatment material (PUR, Aquatab, filter cloths, etc.), emergency water supply, rehabilitation and repair of boreholes)
-	Hygiene promotion: hygiene promotion campaigns (community and household levels), distribution of hygiene kits and MHM kits  
-	Rehabilitation and repair of damaged latrines 


SI will include protection (and particularly gender based protection) mainstreaming at all stage of the implementation of the project: assessment, decision making for the design of the intervention, water committees, CHPs, etc. Indeed, all these activities will be dealt with a strong gender-sensitivity approach, to prevent GBV issues around the WASH services and facilities, in the respect of the Do No Harm principle. Moreover, SI will particularly pay attention to the participation of the communities along the project implementation and design of the activities. 

Finally, SI will be fully involved in all the coordination mechanism, at national and sub-national level (EPR, WASH Cluster). It can be noted that to support the WASH Cluster, SI already dedicates one expatriate staff to the WASH Cluster Sub National Coordination for Central Equatoria. This position optimizes the coordination between the different EPampR and WASH partners, the complementary with the static partners, the field analysis of the gaps and the needs, the decision based on evidence, etc.
