Life Saving response through the prepositioning and provision of emergency  Shelter and NFIs support to flood affected Areas ltp style="margin-bottom: 8pt line-height: 107%" class="MsoNormal"gtOver a
decade, South Sudan continues to experience national and sub-national-level
conflicts that have destabilized the country, forcing over 8.9 million people
to flee their homes in search of protection and physical security. An estimated
2,229,657 people are internally displaced within South Sudan, additionally
there are 1.924,368 returnees. The situation caused by conflict has been
exacerbated by consecutive years of flooding since 2019, current economic
crisis, and Covid-19 impacts eroding the communities’ resilience, thus,
creating a dire need for emergency shelter and NFIs, which have been ranked as
the second highest priority after food. According to the 2022 Inter-Sectoral
Needs Analysis (ISNA) findings in 2023, the number of people in need of S-NFIs
increased from 2.43 million in 2022 to 2.93 million people in 2023. This
increase is partly attributable to the after-effects of the large-scale
displacements caused by conflict and floods in 2022. The situation is
particularly dire in Warrap, Jonglei, Western Equatoria and Unity States where
populations are subjected to repeated waves of violence and seasonal flooding
(IOM DTM).nbsplt/pgtltp style="mso-margin-top-alt:autoline-height:106%" class="MsoNormal"gt
Through this project, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) Core
Pipeline will implement a lta name="_Hlk133303871"gtLife Saving response to
expected floods in South Sudan through the prepositioning of essential
S-NFIsnbsp supplies at key logistic warehouse hubs in Juba, Bentiu, Bor,
Malakal, Rumbek and Wau, to supportnbspfrontline emergencynbsp Shelter and
NFIsnbsp fornbsppopulations displaced by floods.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/agtlt/pgtltp style="margin-bottom: 8pt line-height: 107%" class="MsoNormal"gtThe provision of Emergency Shelter and NFIs through the
IOM Core Pipeline support to Shelter and NFI Cluster partners is targeted to
reach a total of 30,000 households and 180,000 individuals.nbspIOM has a
dedicated Core Pipeline team that manages both S-NFI pipeline and
provides strong support to the Clusters in coordinating procurement,
transportation and warehousing of critical SNFInbsp supplies. Furthermore,
IOM Core Pipeline works with international and national S-NFI clusternbspnbsppartners in implementing provision of SNFI support to communities impacted by
displacement. Working with national partners is in line with the SSHF strategy
to enhance the national organizations’ capacity and participation in the planning
and implementation of humanitarian response interventions.nbspltbrgtltbrgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe request for 6 months project period is necessitated by the need to facilitate procurement processes for S-NFI supplies, which in most cases take more than 3 months as IOM Core Pipeline relies on global supply chains for most supplies. To facilitate response, once the proposal is approved IOM will release available supplies from its stocks and then replenish those stocks with new supplies to be bought under this project.lt/spangtlt/pgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtltbrgtlt/pgt
