Multi-sectoral assistance for newly accessible areas in Jebel Marra, South Darfur state The project has been designed based on identified needs in the target areas and the proposed activities will address the immediate needs of the targeted  community in  South amp East Jebel Mara area timely and in an integrated manner focusing on reducing mortalities and morbidities associated with poor basic services. CARE will also build the targeted communities' capacity through various training, coaching, and awareness-raising activities throughout the project period to enhance their resilience to recurrent shocks and become self-reliant, along with improving their access to essential services. 
Through this project, CARE proposes integrated health, nutrition, WASH, protection and FSL services to provide a package of basic services to the targeted community in order to improve multiple basic needs of the community members. Under Health services, the project aims to enhance  the existing system and provide at least the minimum basis service package which includes, but not limited to curative outpatient consultation services for diagnosis and treatment of common illnesses, basic laboratory investigations, immunization, Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI), sexually transmitted infection (STI) management, antenatal care, clean and safe deliveries, postpartum care, mother and child health, gender-based violence (GBV) and emergency referrals for complicated cases to secondary health facilities. Under Nutrition services, the project will provide high-quality curative and preventative nutrition services to vulnerable and malnourished U5 children and pregnant and lactating women in East and South Jabal Mara based on the CMAM protocol. WASH interventions are the crucial basic service for communities in Jebel Marra.  Through WASH services, CARE will work with community especially women to improve the access to safe drinking water, hygiene and sanitation services.
