Provision of mobile CCCM services to affected, underserved and hard to reach locations in South Sudan According to UN OCHA, 1.83 million individuals are displaced across South Sudan (OCHA, June 2019). Considering this, DRC proposes to implement a six-month emergency response CCCM mobile project that aims to increase hard to reach displaced populations access to coordination of services, protection related information and training using a mobile Camp Management Approach. This project will support 41,200 internally displaced persons (IDPs), including 6,180 men, 10,300 women, 12,360 boys and 12,360 girls. This project will be implemented across 12 sites   in the SA2 priority 26 counties and any other newly prioritized locations across South Sudan (12 sites will be targeted for assessment of which 6 will benefit from the response) . The exact locations will be determined on the basis of emerging urgent humanitarian need and the relevant cluster priorities. The project has two objectives as outlined in the mobile response strategy developed by the CCCM cluster, working across all four activity areas of the 2019 SSHF2 CCCM allocation strategy.

1) CCCM MOBILE RESPONSE: At the onset of the displacement, DRC will deploy its mobile response team to informal and camp like settlements including hard to reach and remote locations with inadequate or non-existent site level coordination and service monitoring mechanisms. Through this primary objective, DRC will lead emergency site coordination and site management activities including establishing the displaced population and site profiles, identifying new sites, conducting rapid needs assessments, undertaking inter-sector coordination and service mapping. To ensure a sustainable approach, DRC will focus on building local governance capacity to enable communities to identify needs and better engage with humanitarian service provision. This will be achieved through set-up or capacity building of existing governance structures and mentoring in basic site management activities. Finally, DRC will conduct a basic training on Communication with Communities (CwC) and establish focal points who will be providing essential information on humanitarian services and issues to the local community. The focal points will also lead in community engagement and maintain dialogue with humanitarians. This work stream will primarily target 12 sites in the 26 counties with the most severe needs based on OCHA’s severity scale and the SSHF allocation strategy. DRC will also consider any new location recommended by the cluster. 

2) CCCM SUSTAINABLE SITE RESPONSE: DRC will provide CCCM capacity building support and community camp/site leadership in existing or newly identified camp like settings, and build up the capacity of the national actors for transitioning the CCCM into community ownership. As part of the sustainable response, DRC will provide trainings prioritized on need and based on cluster capacity building plans and standardized cluster-developed capacity assessments. The trainings will cover all aspects of operational CCCM including: needs assessments, camp management, information management, communication with communities, accountability and feedback mechanisms, community projects, advocacy briefs for multi-sectorial responses, governance and representation, construction of coordination centres and closure/transition planning. Through this approach, DRC will be able to provide capacity building to the multiple informal and camp like settlements simultaneously reducing the cost of CCCM interventions and increasing the ability for national NGOs and local authorities to lead the management and coordination of sites. This work stream will target existing actors who are responding on the ground and plans will be discussed on regularly with the cluster and operational partners.

The work streams are designed to meet the six core outcomes of the CCCM Cluster Mobile Response Strategy and lessons learned from SSHF 2019 SA1 will be integrated into the project.
