Strengthening CCCM Response in Sites and Camp-like Settings to Conflict Affected ,undeserved Populations  in hard to reach locations of Ayod,Fangak and Nyirol in Jonglei State. This project aims at strengthening and supporting site management and coordination, by expanding CCCM services to new and unreached populations through a roving response across the three target counties response approaches in various locations of Fangak (Manajang. Mareang, Paguir. New Fangak and old Fangak) , Nyirol (Lankien, Waat, Nyambor, Pulturuk and Pading) and Ayod ( Kuachdeng, Magok, Pajiek, Jiech and Pajiek) counties of Jonglei state. The project will target a total of 19, 000 IDPs (Fangak 7900, Nyirol 7100 and Ayod 4000) for all the selected Counties. HRSS will undertake a multi spectral rapid needs assessment in Ayod, Fangak and Nyirol. An overall lack of coordination and capacity to deploy effective assistance to IDPs located in remote areas has stressed the need for CCCM mobile response capacity. HRSS is targeting 19000 displacement-affected people in the areas across Fangak, Ayod and Nyirol in Jonglei State. The numbers of beneficiaries may fluctuate depending on populations’ movements in locations targeted. Areas of intervention include: collective sites, informal settlements, spontaneous sites, urban displacement sites and existing IDP sites. Communities will benefit from enhanced coordination, improved access to information, communal site maintenance works, and better quality of services through HRSSs service monitoring and advocacy. HRSS will also work with Persons with Specific Needs (PSNs) ensuring that the interventions are gender and disability-appropriate, adapting interventions and activities to meet individual and demographic needs.This will be achieved through setting up site level coordination meetings with community members from both displaced and host communities conducting site maintenance and service mapping activities to support minimum living standard protect and support people with specific needs in coordination with actors strengthening community structures by training community members on CCCM and humanitarian response and monitoring of access to services.

Establishment of Humanitarian Hubs in Jiech (Ayod County) and Pibor (Pibor County), Jonglei South Sudan is one of the most complex humanitarian operating environments. Humanitarian needs are dispersed across the country, often in areas very difficult to access due to geographical remoteness, lack of infrastructure, and insecurity. According to the last South Sudan Humanitarian Access Severity Overview released by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) in November 2019, difficult physical environment, including poor road conditions, was the most prevalent access challenge reported by partners.

Since July 2020, humanitarian needs in the country have dramatically increased due to unprecedent rainfalls leading to floods along the White Nile. OCHA reports over 866,0000 individuals are affected with 389,000 individuals having been displaced by the floods (OCHA: South Sudan: Flooding Snapshot as of 21-Oct-2020). The floods hit a population experiencing years of conflict, make them more vulnerable famine and hunger as well as water borne disease outbreaks. Key immediate needs include food, water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), shelter and non-food items (SNFI), and health and nutrition services. A time effective and sustained humanitarian response requires humanitarian operational bases from which the flood-affected populations can be reached.

In October 2020 OCHA cited conflict, access, COVID-19, funds and lack of facilities from which humanitarian organizations can operate as the major gaps and challenges to the flood response.  Lack of operational bases with safe and adequate office and accommodation spaces for humanitarian agencies’ staff is a serious impediment to the humanitarian response particularly in the proposed project locations.

An inter-agency assessment in September 2019, identified the need for expansion of static and temporary humanitarian hubs in order to reach hard-to-reach populations.  


The objective of this project is to enable a humanitarian response to the floods by establishing two humanitarian hubs in Jonglei State which has the highest number of flood-affected people in South Sudan.

IOM proposes to establish a humanitarian hub in Jiech (Ayod County) and a light base camp in Pibor (Pibor County), both in Jonglei. 

Each of the proposed humanitarian hubs will accommodate approximately 15 to 20 humanitarian staff. Humanitarian agencies working from these hubs will be enabled to reach approximately 57,529 individuals in Ayod County and 95,835 individuals in Pibor County with life-saving WASH, SNFI, and health and nutrition services (targeted figures based on IOM Displacement Tracking Matrix as of 02 November 2020).
Integrated Emergency Nutrition, Health, WaSH, Protection and FSL Response for Conflict-Affected Communities in Fangak County While the signing of the peace agreement in September 2018 has resulted in reduced violence between the parties to the national-level conflict, the humanitarian crisis in South Sudan has continued, with localized insecurity increasing in some areas. This holds true for Fangak County, where continued armed violence, climatic shocks and resource scarcity foment repeated displacement and severe humanitarian needs. Facing a GAM rate of 16.2% and an IPC Phase 4 level of food insecurity, Fangak County’s conflict- and disaster-affected communities scale up of integrated, comprehensive humanitarian programs are required to meet increasing needs. Therefore, with the support of SSHF, World Relief (WR) and its sub-implementing partner, Community Action Organisation (CAO), propose to restore and expand lifesaving nutrition, health, WaSH, livelihoods and protection services for the area’s most hard-to-reach and underserved communities. The partners will apply a gender-targeted and nutrition-sensitive approach to service delivery through the proposed nutrition and health facilities and distributions, prioritizing households with acutely malnourished children for holistic, multi-sector support. Major services and structures will include one Primary Health Care Center (PHCC), two Primary Health Care Units (PHCU), one Mobile Health Units (MHUs), 11 Outreach Therapeutic Program sites (OTPs) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program sites (TSFPs), two Child Friendly Spaces (CFS)’, a Women and Girls Friendly Spaces (WGFS’), all related Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) infrastructure, and distribution of livelihoods inputs. To promote a holistic service package, activities are embedded with food security, health, nutrition, WaSH and protection messages and measures to raise awareness on healthy practices (including health-seeking behavior) and enhancement of social healing and integration. Ultimately, the project will aim to immediately reduce morbidity and mortality among the most vulnerable children and caregivers, while promoting longer-term recovery and resilience measures into their communities.
Rehabilitate livelihoods and build the resilience of the most vulnerable Host community, IDPs as well as returnees targeting 7100 HH=42600 individuals of Maiwut county( Maiwut, Jekow and Pagak Payams) Upper Nile State. This project aims at reaching 7100 HHS of whom 2485 HHS are male headed (14910), 3195 HHS=(19170 people )are female headed, 1065 HHS( 6390 individuals) are boy child headed and 355 (2130 individuals) are girl child headed HHS.  Of these, host community - 994 m headed HHS (5964 individuals), 1278 female headed HHS (7668 individuals), 426 boy child headed house holds (2556 individuals)and 142 girl child headed HHS ( 852 individuals) IDPs - 447 male headed HHs (2682 individuals), 575 female headed HHS(3450 individuals) , 192 boy child headed HHS(1152 individuals) and 64 girl child headed HHS (384 individuals). Returnees - 994 m headed HHS( 5964 individuals), 1278 female headed HHS ( 7668 individuals), 426 boy child headed house holds ( 2556 individuals) and 142 girl child headed HHS ( 852 individuals)  Refugees - 50 M headed HHs (300 individuals), 64 W headed HHs (384 individuals), 21 B headed HHs (126 individuals) and 7 G headed HHs ( 42 individuals). Upper Nile state was one of the most affected states by the ongoing Conflict which lasted for five consecutive years. Maiwut of Upper Nile State is considered to be one of the most affected counties in Upper Nile. people in the Country that are highly food insecure.(IPC March 2020). The key driving factor contributing to dire Food insecurity situation is the result of multiple hazards which include continuous fighting. High food prices, depleted household assets and irregular rainfall -with floods were present across Upper Nile State and drove the decline in food security. Worsening terms of trade (sale of livestock and labor wages against the price of sorghum) continued to take a downward trend across the county. Markets are destroyed and only very limited informal trade is in place. Prices in the functioning markets are extremely high due to lack of goods and high transport cost and the current inflation. Most of the population has been displaced to hiding places like bushes and islands.  FSMNS  done in Sept 2017 shows huge consumption gap with some household reducing food consumption to as little a one meal per day consisting of only fish and water lilies. Massive displacement of people also resulted to movement of livestock to crisis free area. This movement and lack of animal health services has resulted in increase of spread of livestock disease and parasites. With the good rapport from the  local authority , experience and the field presences in the two locations AHC  is proposing a one year Emergency Response Project to address the worsening humanitarian and Food insecurity need through the provision of  fishing kits, vegetable kits, tools  and essential  crops seeds. They will target extremely vulnerable households in Maiwut County of Upper Nile state.
Supporting the establishment and operationalization of safe house in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal to provide services for GBV survivors The goal of the project is to ensure availability of safe house for survivors of GBV in Wau, Western Bahr el Ghazal as a critical component of GBV response service to provide immediate security, temporary refuge, and support to survivors who are escaping violent or abusive situation. The recent pandemic COVID-19 has increased the vulnerabilities of women and girl survivors of GBV manifold as the lockdown measures put the women and girl victims in the close proximity of the perpetrators, and the social support systems are even more difficult to reach out. The safe house will be used as a temporary protection accommodation for survivors of gender-based violence whose security and safety have been compromised, have been ostracized by the family, and/or are at risk of possible attack and repercussions from the alleged perpetrators. It will also contribute to provide services that facilitate trauma healing and rehabilitation, including essential life-skills. It will also help GBV survivors who would eventually have to leave the safe house and become reintegrated back into their family, community and society. Nile Hope will follow the guidelines for operating the safe House in South Sudan, the Survivor /victim shall be provided with temporary accommodation at the safe home for a minimum of 48 hours and a maximum of two weeks. However sometimes, there will a survivors or victim whose stay shall be extended due to complexity of the case, in such cases the Safe home Manager shall determine the duration stay depending on the case. Management shall do everything possible to refer or/ and resettle the victim/survivor as soon as possible to minimize on the duration of stay of the victim/survivor.
The project will seek to enhance GBV prevention and response assistance to The total target will be 300 (Women 180, Boys 30, Girls 90).vulnerable individuals, host communities, IDPs and returnees and refugees women, men, boys and girls in  Payams of Wau County.
Project will have mass awareness raising component in the community to addressing the gender inequality issues in the society, and raising the awareness about the role of men and community to address the gender based violence, community’s role in eliminating harmful traditional practices such as child marriage, forced marriage, bride price etcetera..

Nile Hope will provide activities harmonized with GBV SC SS HRP 2020 objectives in Wau county: reduce the suffering of w/m/g/b who have experienced various forms of GBV and reported to service delivery points in priority geographical locations and hard-to-reach areas through providing CM/individual and group PSS establishing static WGFSs and mobile PSS unites and providing women and girls with access to life skills trainings, recreational activities and dignity kits. Also, in view of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the project will integrate the COVID-19 guidelines in the operations of the safe house.
