Children with disability or affected by HIV/AIDS Child-headed households Street children Out of focus: Children in conflict with the law Which contexts SCI will continue to work in a mix of urban and rural settings with an increasing tendency towards the former where the most deprived populations are congregating in largest numbers. SCI will also continue to work directly and through its partners in areas with highest risks of humanitarian crises. Which geographies in my country Maintain: Direct implementation: Jonglei – Akobo, Waat, Bor Upper Nile - Maban Eastern Equatoria – Nimule, Torit, Kapoeta North Lakes – Rumbek, Awerial Northern Bahr el Ghazal – Malualkon Indirectly through partners: Western Equatoria Central Equatoria Western Bahr el Ghazal Exit: Jonglei – – Wulu Western Bahr el Ghazal – Wau Enter: Enter: Central Equatoria – Juba Monitor: Jonglei – Bentui, Malakal Upper Nile – Nasir, Renk Western Equatoria Which geographies internationally – IP Members only Maintain: Exit: Enter: Thematic and Sub-thematic Results: Becoming more focused thematically on achieving our breakthroughs Child Poverty Sub-thematic results Sub-Themes Global Sub-Thematic Results 2030 Country Contribution to Results by 2018 1.1 sensitive social protection Both female and male care-givers have sufficient income at all times to meet the essential needs of their children for survival, learning and protection 20% of vulnerable families has sufficient resources (food, cash, NFI, etc. per global standards) at all to meet the immediate and essential needs of their children for survival, learning and protection Thematic
Exit or scale down strategies (Only for programmatic work that you will exit or scale down over the next strategy period) Since Save the Children mainly support the government PHC and secondary facilities, these will be handed over to the government authorities where there is capacity or hand over to other interested IPs. Thematic capability needs (includes gender and resilience) Need for building Save the Children’s internal capacity in Health Systems Strengthening, enable teams to build the capacity of the local health authorities (CHDs, SMOHs) in the supported geographical areas and to build/strengthen the health system resilience/capacity to withstand shocks (including health emergencies and outbreak of communicable diseases) and respond to them. Strengthen the staff capacity on PICT and CICT to enhance timely access to HIV care especially for HIV affected/infected children. Strengthen Resource mobilization; internal capacity; Strong MEAL and evidence; Data and information management; Review the existing SCI structure and look at best ways of integration Non-thematic Strategy 2016 – 2018 Global priorities Country strategic objectives Capabilities needed Strengthen operations capability in toughest contexts (Operations Platform Strengthening) By the end of 2018 the South Sudan Country Office will meet all essential standards - delivering quality programming with zero deficits for the children of South Sudan. The Management improvement plan must be resourced, implemented, monitored and regularly reviewed by SMT Positions on the People Non-Award Funding (NAF) recruited and deployed Internal Audit Capacity expanded both in people and resource allocation. Maximize use of knowledge By the end of 2018, South Sudan will have established a knowledge management system to pool, index and utilize learning accessible to all stakeholders. All staff will be equipped and encouraged to contribute in capturing of institutional learning. 100% of programme staff will use the available knowledge to gauge programming impact, guide strategic decision making, and replicate programmatic best practices to achieve positive results for children Information Management and Archiving: Utilizing global (one-net etc.) and Regional (Prime) solutions to ensure consistent flow of useful programmatic information. (Developing and updating in-country tools to feed into the global and regional knowledge hubs) SCI South Sudan needs to contribute its share to the regional investment in rolling-out PRIME. Knowledge sharing and utilization: Streamlined processes for enabling timely sharing of Knowledge (Country Office page on one – net, ICT, HR resources, IPTTs, Complaint Feedback Databases, Learning Databases etc.). Protocols developed to inform evidence based decision making regarding project design and implementation planning.
