Lifesaving Response to Returnees and Refugees from Sudan ltpgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtThe proposed action islt/spangtltspangt designed in close collaboration
with key stakeholders including UNICEF, and in consultation with the WASH
Sector Coordination and Technical Working Groups in Renk. It is intended to
contribute to the existing WASH gaps within the ongoing response to South Sudan
returnees and refugee influx focused in Renk TC  in Upper Nile
State.  The action aligns to the 2023 SSHF Reserve Allocation Strategy – 5
which seeks to facilitate the onward movement of people to the final areas of
destination for Sudanese refugees and South Sudanese returnees and support
scale-up of access to basic services including food, healthcare, protection,
shelter/NFIs, and WASH in the transit sites. The proposed interventions will
complement the $8 million allocated through the CERF Rapid Response window for
scaling up response activities in the UNHCR and IOM-led South Sudan - Emergency
Response for the Sudan Crisis. Oxfam will directly implement the RRM
interventions through the deployment of Emergency Rapid Response Teams (ERRT). lt/spangtltspangtSpecifically, the project will provide rapid emergency
WASH response to at least 10,000 refugees and returnees in Renk Transit Center
(TC). Oxfam will develop/install emergency WASH infrastructure and services to
meet critical WASH needs and work towards sustainable solutions by linking
humanitarian interventions to long-term development programs, to increase the
self-sufficiency of beneficiaries and to achieve complementarity with ongoing
long-term initiatives. This action will promote stronger collaboration and
build synergies with UNICEF and IOM (Core Pipeline), Health, Shelter/NFI,
Protection and WASH Partners to ensure the response is harmonized and
coordinated and risk of duplication of interventions is averted.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt

lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtOn Water Supply, lt/spangtltspangtOxfam will work closely with County
Local Authorities and Water Utility Company for Renk, and complement
intervention of UNICEF/World vision, and ADA/NRC and IOM (who are currently
rehabilitating Renk Town Water Supply System and doing water trucking
respectively), through WASH NFI distribution, training for water management
committees, Household FRC monitoring and promotion of safe water chain amongst
the returnees. An emergency water trucking and distribution system
will be established to provide immediate to the returnees. A minimum WASH NFI
package will be distributed based on assessment of gaps to avoid duplication.
The NFI kit will comprise and not limited to containers for water collection
and storage, Ibrik for anal cleaning, PUR Sachets, and soap for laundry and
personal hygiene. lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt

lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtTo prevent and curb rampant open
defecation in thelt/spangtltspangt transit center, the construction of 100 stances (25 blocks of 4)
dignified and inclusive climate-resilient emergency latrines complete with
handwashing facilities will be prioritized. The project will further install
100 bathing shelters in transit centres to help promote personal hygiene for
affected populations. Solid waste management coupled with hygiene promotion
messaging will be conducted to avoid WASH-related diseases including AWD,
Cholera, and Malaria. lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt

lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltspangtOxfam intends to respond, through close coordination
with other humanitarian partners in  Renk through mobilization of
rapid response team. The mobile team is composed of ERRT WASH manager, 02 WASH
Team Leader (PHE and PHP), Project Officers for both Public Health Promotion
and Engineering, Gender and Protection and the team is already active in the
affected locations. lt/spangtltspangtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangt

ltspangtThe team will be
complemented by other Oxfam teams in our current static lt/spangtltspangtlocations in Renk and Juba, and global/regional
public health team based on the emerging needs. The RRT Team will be deployed
for a period of up to 3 monthslt/spangt
