Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Since the start of 2018, the deteriorating economic situation in Sudan continues to impact on the population especially

the most vulnerable, including 2.6 million children in need of humanitarian assistance. This will cause higher rates of

malnutrition, hinder access to health services and reduce opportunities to receive education. Considering this, UNICEF

has partnered with UNDP, WFP and the African Development Bank to undertake an analysis of the impact of the eco-

nomic crisis on the Sudanese population, with a view to generating evidence to inform policy advice, interventions and

resource mobilization efforts. The analysis will provide an empirical investigation into the channels of transmission of

the economic crisis, households’ coping mechanisms, and welfare impacts of the crisis on the population especially the

vulnerable groups.

The humanitarian situation in the newly-accessible areas in east and north Jebel Marra region in South and Central Darfur

remains complex. Since 15 April some 212 households (1,060 persons) have newly arrived from Suwannee and Feina

villages in East Jebel Marra locality. To identify the humanitarian needs, UNICEF participated in an inter-agency assess-

ment mission to Otash IDP camp in Nyala on 24 April. Water, Food, non-food items and health were the most urgent

needs reported by the new arrivals. In Central Darfur (North, Center and West Jebel Marra), an interagency assessment

mission was deployed to North Jebel Marra locality, Rokero town, to serve the newly displaced population, assess hu-

manitarian needs and to inform the upcoming response plan. UNICEF participated in the mission covering WASH, Nutri-

tion, Education and Child Protections sectors.

For the first time since 2011, a high-profile field visit by the UNICEF Representative and the Ambassadors of the Nether-

lands, Norway and Sweden was organized to the Kurmuk locality in Blue Nile state to experience first-hand the needs in

these newly accessible areas. It was found that the basic social services and infrastructure are very limited. UNICEF first

accessed the area in December 2016.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination

In April, the three UNICEF-led sectors Education, Nutrition and WASH and Child Protection sub sector, have taken part

in the joint and scalable prioritization assignment, under the leadership of OCHA, to signify the changes of the economic

situation on the sector priorities and funding levels. The exercise was conducted based on severity of multi-sectoral needs

(Child Protection, Education, Nutrition, WASH, Health and Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) and eventually identified

44 out of 79 most affected localities, where partners should provide urgent prioritized assistance for a budget of 57.2

million for a period of six months.

The WASH sector initiated the review of its governance and strategic documents by updating the terms of references

and responsibilities of different coordination groups as well as drafting of priorities and work plan. This exercise, which

will be completed in the next three month, aims at enlarging the scope of the WASH sector to embrace the approaches

as advocated through the Grand Bargain, New Way of Working and the development of collective outcomes (the cen-

tralization, Cash based initiative, Multi-sectoral approaches)

Sudan is piloting a comprehensive initiative aimed at strengthening Coordination Support to Child and Adolescent Sur-

vivors of Sexual Abuse in Emergency settings (CSI). UNICEF provided technical experts, and has taken the coordination

role of bringing and linking partners together through the organization of a workshop in Khartoum for the CSI activity.

The CSI is jointly led by the Child Protection Area of Responsibility (AoR) and the Gender-Based Violence (GBV) AoR,

with funding from OFDA and the Norwegian Ministry of Internal Affairs, to support three technical partners deploy staff

to Sudan as part of the in-person technical support. In April, Sudan hosted the global coordinators of the Child and Ado-

lescent Survivors Initiative for a weeklong visit which consisted of a coordination training for Child Protection and GBV

sub-sector members and consultative meetings with key government service providers including the National Council

for Child Welfare (NCCW), Ministry of Social Welfare (MoSW), Department for Combating Violence Against Women

(CVAW) and the Family Child Protection Unit (FCPU). Engagements aim to establish capacity gaps/needs, coordination

challenges and develop a workplan for the implementation of this initiative. North Darfur state has been selected by the

CP and GBV coordination groups as well as the government, as the main pilot state which will be supported till the end

of July 2019.

Humanitarian Strategy The UNICEF Sudan humanitarian strategy is targeting 2.48 million people for assistance including 1.13 million children9.

UNICEF has adopted an integrated approach to programme delivery and has prioritised assistance based on vulnerabil-

ity criteria, rather than the status of people (internally displaced person, refugee, returnees and host communities).

UNICEF continues to accord humanitarian assistance top priority while strengthening programmes for advancing dura-

ble results in a cost-effective manner. UNICEF’s humanitarian interventions are in line with upholding International Hu-

manitarian Law, especially the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and humanitarian principles including humanity,

neutrality, impartiality and operational independence, with continued advocacy to reach vulnerable children in the con-

flict affected areas of Blue Nile and Nuba Mountains. This also includes some parts of Jebel Marra in Darfur, which has

witnessed significant improvement over the last two years.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Child Protection

UNICEF provides specialized quality child protection services to refugees, internally displaced children and host com-

munities in addition to psychosocial support services (PSS) through mobile teams, child friendly spaces, and direct home

visits. In April, UNICEF supported 112,190 children (57,804 boys and 54,386 girls). The caseload includes an additional

6,084 children (3,202 boys, 2,882 girls) who started receiving psychosocial support this month including 5,005 (2,603

boys, 2,402 girls) South Sudanese refugee children. Additionally, a total number of 125 unaccompanied and separated

children (UASC) (37 girls and 88 boys) received UNICEF services where four UASC (all boys) were unified with their fam-

ilies and 116 children were placed in family- based alternative care. Out of the 125 UASC, 34 (33 boys and one girl) are

South Sudanese children.

In April, four children captured in fighting with armed opposition groups in Awadi Hawar by Government armed forces

in May 2017 were released from custody and placed in alternative family care a s result of UNICEF advocacy with the

authorities. Family tracing is ongoing to reunify the children with their families.

The Government of Sudan completed two important steps towards the final implementation of the Action Plan for the

Protection of Children from Violations in Armed Conflict and strengthening the protection system for children. UNIICEF

initially contributed to the complaint mechanism which is part of the Action Plan. The State Ministers of Defense, Secu-

rity and Social Development, Interior, and Foreign Affairs, and the DDR Commission signed Standard Operating Proce-

dure (SOP) on the release and handover of any children associated with armed groups and captured during conflict,

9 UNICEF revised Humanitarian Action for Children 2018.

UNICEF SUDAN HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT April 2018

which sets clear procedures, referrals and processes with defined timeframes and responsibilities. UNICEF contributed

significantly to the production of the SOP through identification of gaps and support the National Council for Child Wel-

fare (NCCW) and the Technical Committee on Action Plan to hire a consultant to work with NCCW and the Technical

Committee to review the experience of Sudan and identify the gaps that make the children stay for long time in custody

under different security forces. Based on the consultant’s work and experiences from other countries (shared by UNICEF),

UNICEF and NCCW drafted the SOPs which were shared with the Technical Committee for review and finally endorsed

by the High-Level Committee on Action Plan. The implementation of the SOP will ensure that the process is completed

within a strict timeframe. The Government also endorsed a manual on complaint mechanisms in government judicial

and security institutions for the public to report on child recruitment by armed forces/groups, which will be rolled out in

communities to raise awareness and to strengthen accountability.

Education

In Central Darfur state, the poor road conditions accompanied by severe lack of fuel represented a challenge to reach the

most vulnerable school-aged children with education in emergency interventions through the provision of learning

spaces and distribution of learning supplies. Nevertheless, UNICEF and partners provided access to quality education for

360 children (180 girls, 180 boys) through the construction of four classrooms, two in Wara school in Rokero locality, and

two others in Guldo girls’ school. Moreover, during April, construction works of four gender sensitive latrines have com-

pleted in Alzahra, and Al-Um schools in Rokero and Golo localities respectively providing access to WASH facilities for

800 (50 per cent girls) school aged-children.

Additionally, UNICEF and partners’ supported 3,265 children from Jebel Marra area and 1,300 children living in non-gov-

ernment controlled areas in South Darfur with transportation, essential school supplies and access to safe water and

sanitation facilities to facilitate the students to sit for the national Grade 8 exams for the 2017-2018 academic year in

March. Both states have achieved good passing rates with South Darfur’s rate standing at 84% and Central Darfur at

60.9% (64.9% boys, 56.9% girls).

Child Survival and Development (CSD) Programme Component

Health and Nutrition

During the reporting month, UNICEF continued to provide integrated health and nutrition services. Some 20,664 chil-

dren suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) have been treated across Sudan, 38,814 children vaccinated

against measles,184 have been reached with integrated management of childhood illnesses, and 109,372 pregnant and

lactating mothers received counselling on recommended Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices. In addition, a

sub-national campaign in Dimso locality, South Darfur reached 2,393 children under-five (comprising returnees, IDPs and

refugees) with different Expanded Programme on Immunization antigens and Vitamin A supplements.

In East Jebel Marra in South Darfur, UNICEF facilitated the resumption of health and nutrition services in Feina following

the displacement of many households and vandalization of the only clinic providing health and nutrition services because

of the recent rise in violence. Other newly accessible areas in East Jebel Marra were supported with life-saving health and

nutrition services including Saboun Elfagur and Gubo and Kara Villages. In these villages, a total of 380 children suffering

from SAM were admitted for treatment through UNICEF-supported Outpatient Therapeutic Feeding Programme (OTP)

and received measles immunization and treatment for common childhood illnesses. Furthermore, UNICEF supported in-

stallation of two solar fridges in Dirbat and Belle Elsiref to strengthen the cold-chain system, expanding vaccination ac-

cess to 10,000 children. Due to the conflict in Jebel Marra, some of these villages such as Feina had not been reached

with any kind of services for over ten years.

In Central Darfur, through UNICEF support to the State Ministry of Health (SMOH), Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) trans-

mission has been controlled with no case reported for more than one month. Also, UNICEF supported the State Ministry

of Health (SMOH) and partners to provide outpatient consultations and medical treatment to 317 vulnerable individuals,

including 184 children under the age of five (U5) in Jebel Marra, Central Darfur. UNICEF also maintained its support to

UNICEF SUDAN HUMANITARIAN SITUATION REPORT April 2018

5

the operationalisation of 22 mobile OTPs in Central, West and North Jebel Marra and ensured treatment for 597 children

suffering from SAM.

On the response to South Sudanese refugees (SSR), UNICEF led the development of a multi-sector response plan in the

White Nile to address the needs and gaps identified from the Out of Camp Assessment conducted last December. The

plan will facilitate provision of Health, Nutrition, WASH, Child Protection, Education services to benefit both the refugees

and host population in the state. For the already ongoing response, UNICEF supported the delivery of the first dose of

measles vaccination to 745 SSR children under the age of one (U1) in East Darfur, South and West Khordofan, while 373

children U5 were provided with access to the standard case management for the common childhood illnesses in East

Darfur. Additionally, 89,120 SSR children were screened for malnutrition in the White Nile, East Darfur, South and West

Khordofan states. Amongst these, 1,050 children identified with SAM were admitted for treatment.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

In April, UNICEF continued to support the response to Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) cases. More than 69,500 people

in AWD affected and at risk areas in Jebel Marra (Nertiti) in Central Darfur, benefited from the disinfection of the water

distribution system and wells fitted with hand pumps, by the State Water Corporation (SWC) and State Ministry of Health

with the support of UNICEF. In addition, UNICEF prepositioned WASH supplies in Rokero town to ensure safe water

supply to 1,335 recently displaced families. Up to the end of the month only 8 % of budget required for the emergency

WASH response was funded, this low funding coupled with Inflation and fuel shortage will adversely impact families who

cannot afford increased water prices by private vendors. UNICEF were supporting the operation and maintenance cost

and chlorination of motorized water supply system in the IDP’s camp in five Darfur States to ensure the sustained safe

water supply to 1.6 million people. UNICEF is working with State Water Corporation (SWC) for the allocation of resource

to cover the operational cost of the water supply cost from the revenue collection and rehabilitation of non-functional

water supply cost while assessing the impact of fuel shortage for the prioritization the existing fuel stock.

UNICEF also provided access to new basic water for 13,500 conflict-affected and vulnerable people, including about

7,425 children, in Central Darfur, Blue Nile and West Kordofan States, through the construction of two water yards, one

mini water yard and five boreholes fitted with hand pumps. In addition, 1,878 people, including 1,033 children, gained

access to basic sanitation in East Darfur, through the construction of 313 emergency households latrines. Extensive hy-

giene promotion has reached an estimated 3,629 people (1,689 IDPs and other vulnerable emergency affected popula-

tions and 1,940 SSRs) including about 1,996 children, through hygiene promotion sessions, household visits and envi-

ronmental cleaning campaigns in nine states, which have resulted in the sustainment of personal hygiene and living

environment.

Communication for Development (C4D)

In collaboration with Health Promotion Directorate of the State Ministry of Health in the Red Sea State, a three- day

training workshop to enhance the capacity of 40 community volunteers from five targeted localities (Sinkat – Haya –

Tokar – Halaib and Port -Sudan) was conducted to promote key messages on positive practices for AWD prevention as

well essential hygienic family practices.

Also, 270 bed net posters were distributed in strategic areas in Port Sudan and Sinkat localities to support the Dengue

Fever outreach activities benefitting 15,525 individuals.

Communication and Advocacy

The Communications and Advocacy section provided a comprehensive coverage of the Country Office humanitarian

related activities, including the signing of the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) by the Government of Sudan on the

release and handover of children associated with armed groups. A key commitment of the 2018 Action Plan for Child

Protection by the Government of Sudan and UNICEF (https://goo.gl/51o76d , https://goo.gl/FD7z1f).

The section also provided coverage to the high profile field visit by the Ambassadors of Sweden, Netherlands and Nor-

way to the newly accessible Kurmuk locality in Blue Nile state: (https://goo.gl/iLUUq7, https://goo.gl/ETXQAS,

https://goo.gl/o9bbDm, https://goo.gl/NM3LbS, https://goo.gl/8uYaVz). The visited locality was inaccessible since 2011.

A launch event was also organized to highlight the kick-off of the Japan supported project: “Integrated Response to

Conflict Affected Children (Internally Displaced, Refugee and Host Community) in Sudan’s Darfur (North, Central,

South) and South Kordofan states”. (https://goo.gl/DohfHU,). A comprehensive media package was shared with media

and the news highlighted in local media outlets.

Funding

UNICEF’s 2018 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) appeal for Sudan has been revised to reflect the increasing needs

as per the Humanitarian Response Plan and currently amounts to US$115.1 million with a 79 per cent funding gap (in-

cluding funds carried from the previous year) as of end of April. The budget is crucial to enable the life-saving response

to 2.6 million emergency-affected children. Without adequate and timely funding, UNICEF will be unable to respond to

the continuous nutrition crisis or to reach the most vulnerable children with critical health and WASH services. Basic

supplies for primary education are also urgently needed. The biggest funding gaps are currently for specific supplies

(nutrition and health response), new displacements in Jebel Marra, the South Sudanese out-of-camp refugee response,

and preparedness for the rainy season and likely disease outbreaks. According to the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan

(HRP) for Sudan, an estimated 5.5 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance, including 2.6 million children.

UNICEF Sudan would like to express its continued, sincere appreciation to all donors that support the humanitarian

response in Sudan. In April, UNICEF received much needed flexible humanitarian contributions from the governments

of Canada and Sweden as well as from the EU for its nutrition response. In addition, Qatar, through the UN Darfur Fund,

continued supporting the health, education, and water, sanitation and hygiene responses in Darfur. The Sudan Human-

itarian Fund also provided funding for nutrition supplies (Ready to Use Therapeutic Food). Currently, the 2018 UNICEF

HAC appeal has a concerning funding gap of over US$91 million (79%).

Annex A10 SUMMARY OF PROGRAMME RESULTS (January-April 2018)

10 The table was modified to clarify the situation whereas UNICEF responds for refugee and non-refugee but the refugee response is not included in the stats of the sector so it appeared that the UNICEF response was higher than the section. 11 The sector results are lower than the UNICEF results due to the exclusion of the refugee caseload. The number of supported refugees are included in the refugee multi-sector response target and not in the Child Protection sub-sector target. 12 Results reported for the Education Sector indicators are one month prior to the UNICEF sitrep date due to partners’ reporting mechanism. The sector results are lower than the UNICEF results due to the exclusion of the refugee caseload. 13 Schools were closed in April so no new access of children to schools 14 Same as previous comment 15 First time reporting on this indicator 16Results reported for the Nutrition sector indicators are one month prior to the UNICEF sitrep date due to partner reporting mechanisms. Sector response in both indicators is the UNICEF response minus the refugee figures.

17WASH results are reported against the provision of new water facilitates (water trucking is not reflected) and new latrines. Operation and maintenance of existing water facilities and the rehabilitation of existing latrines are not reflected. Also, the sector targets became the same for each sector indicator, because the sector decided to take an approach to deliver a comprehensive package which encompasses improved access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene services. 18 The indicator only includes population reached by the support of newly improved water sources. The funding allocation was enough for the new access to improved drinking water, while a funding gap remains for the implementation of some activities such as rehabilitation of source and WASH in schools.
