Increased Safety and Security of Civilians in the Equatoria States, South Sudan In response to the growing humanitarian crisis in South Sudan, Nonviolent Peaceforce (NP) is proposing the following intervention focusing on increasing the safety and security of civilians in the Equatoria States of South Sudan through direct protection, violence prevention and promotion of community resilience. Due to the complexity of the operating environment, a flexible approach that is suitable to the context in each location is required. NP will implement mobile emergency protection programming in locations with the most critical protection needs. The team will focus primarily on the Equatorias,including Yei, Mundri and Torit. However, given the current security challenges in these regions, programming will remain flexible, and the team will be able deployed to other locations in South Sudan where there are protection needs. The proposed six-month project will be designed to best respond to the immediate security needs of civilians, while supporting the resilience, adaptive capacity and recovery of communities from conflict and insecurity. Activities will both prevent violence from occurring while strengthening civilian and survivor’s access to services and humanitarian aid. Key direct protection activities, including proactive presence and patrolling, will strategically reduce violence and mitigate conflict. The intervention will integrate protection monitoring and mainstreaming into humanitarian interventions to enhance understanding and analysis among humanitarian actors specifically on protection context and needs. The project will directly target 3,000 beneficiaries and 15,000 indirectly in selected communities. All components of the project will utilize Unarmed Civilian Protection (UCP), an innovative, evidence-based methodology with a demonstrated track record of reducing violence against civilians all over the world, including South Sudan. UCP combines a variety of strategies to create the political and social space needed for people to transform their own conflicts and advocate for their security.

Emergency Telecommunications Cluster Activities and Services in Support of the Humanitarian Community in South Sudan (Project 2) Activated in 2011, the ETC has built up over four years of operational presence in South Sudan providing vital emergency telecommunications services to the humanitarian community. This includes radio communications, Internet connectivity, renewable power, technical support, and capacity building. The ETC has been key in the overall coordination of emergency telecommunications services which, in addition to the lack of technical expertise at the field level, continues to be a challenge.
Responding to these needs, the ETC 2016 strategy focuses on supporting the humanitarian community through coordination, partnership building and service brokerage. Although the ETC will hand-over the management of its internet services to identified on-site lead organizations, it will continue to provide leadership and support to all common ICT projects as well as exploring new required activities and services. The ETC will also maintain its key function of provider of last resort, strategically prepositioning equipment for fast deployment as required. 
Humanitarian leader and focal-point in telecommunications, the ETC will continue strengthening its partnership with the Ministry of Telecommunications, the private sector and local relief actors. Responding both in government and opposition areas, also raising awareness and sensitizing the relief organization for South Sudan in emergency telecommunications infrastructures and services. Where possible, the ETC will collaborate with other Clusters, as Education and Health, as well as other working group, as the Communication with Communities Working Group (CwCWG), to jointly explore how innovative services and technical solutions may provide relief to the affected population of South Sudan.
In order for this transition to be achieved successfully, the ETC will conduct in-depth assessments and invest in decentralized capacity building activities, reaching-out to humanitarians responding in deep field locations and in strategic humanitarian hubs.
