Delivery of protection services to vulnerable populations in Jur River County. Sudan Evangelical Mission (SEM) will implement this project in Jur River County of Western Bahr El Ghazal State where frequent conflicts are experienced, most recently between pastoralist and farmers.  These continuous conflicts exacerbate vulnerabilities, reduce resilience to recover from shocks and create growing dependency on humanitarian assistance. As a result, the people in Jur River County are forced to resort to negative coping mechanisms that further expose them to additional protection concerns.
The prolonged conflict has had dire impacts on both the physical and psycho-social well-being of the population.
This project is geared to meet the prioritized needs in general protection through addressing standard output indicators (SOI) that aim at community awareness raising, strengthening of community based protection structures, provision of referral services, and provision of individual protection assistance.
By SEM implementing this project from 10th September 2019 to 9th March 2020, we aim at strengthening resilience of 7,700 most vulnerable IDP`S and host community who include persons with disabilities that  have been affected by conflict in the 2 payams of Jur River County (Kuarjena and Udici Payams) through:
	Carrying out community awareness raising sessions to sensitize community members to uphold respect for individual rights, to identify and provide protection and care for groups with specific needs,
	Supporting 4 existing groups of youths and groups of persons with disabilities to carry out community based protection activities,
	Provision of individual protection assistance to persons with disabilities,
	Provision of referral services.
Our approach for this project is based on the humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, and impartiality where we shall provide services without discrimination.
SEM intends to use local capacity and resources to address distress and shock amongst the local communities whom we shall directly involve in the project in order to strengthen their resilience through a comprehensive strategy that includes prevention, response and sustainability dimensions in full account.
Community awareness raising will foster social cohesion and smooth integration of the IDP`S in the community, while empowering community members on information on their rights and availability of services. This intervention shall facilitate to set up community systems that uphold respect for individual rights, to identify and provide protection and care for groups with specific needs.
Community based protection (CBP) will enable the community of Jur River County to take charge and be agents of their own protection, develop self protection strategies, recognize and respect their rights, utilize their capacity while putting the dignity of the entire community at the center.
We shall deliver Individual Protection Assistance (IPA) to the most vulnerable persons with disabilities among the host, displaced and other conflict affected persons in Jur River.  The IPA intervention shall provide wheelchairs, crutches and white canes to persons with disabilities to improve their mobility and prevent their exposure to further risks.
SEM shall provide referral services in order to direct clients to another service provider because he or she requires help that is beyond the expertise or scope of work of services that SEM shall deliver in this project. By doing so we shall link the clients to a variety of services, for example, nutrition, health, education, shelter, psychosocial activities, legal, material or ﬁnancial assistance.
By providing such avenues, the community becomes empowered to develop its own strategies of response and in identifying effective methods of addressing the root causes of problems faced in Kuarjena and Udici Payams as an avenue to build a protective environment in their community.
