SUDAN Humanitarian Situation Report

December 2018 -Year End

UNICEF marks World Children’s Day on the 20th of November with an open day, inviting children ages14-17 including those with disabilities to “Take Over!” and give suggestions on how to tackle the problems they face.

Highlights

From the 19th of December there have been civil protests which have also affected children. UNICEF is closely monitoring and regularly com-municating with Government authorities at Federal and State levels to raise our concerns and advocate for the protection of children.

UNICEF and its partners negotiated access for 1300 children from non-government-controlled areas in Jebel Marra to ensure they could sit for their Grade 8 exams in government-controlled territory, permitting chil-dren to continue their higher education.

Following the contained outbreak in Kassala, late 2018, the Red Sea State recorded increased incidences of Chikungunya. 835 health work-ers were trained to promote key behaviour changes in 70,187 house-holds and a mass media campaign targeted 207,000 individuals. UNICEF appreciates private sector partners ZAIN and MTN for their assistance in sharing SMS messages with affected communities.

In 2018, a total of 1,635,400 children under-five received health and nu-trition interventions including measles vaccinations, treatment for common childhood illnesses and Severe Acute Malnutrition and UNICEF’s Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) programme for moth-ers and caregivers.

Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs: In 2018, Sudan continued to face protracted, complex and overlapping humanitarian challenges, driven by internal and external con-flicts and large-scale displacements, climatic and socioeconomic conditions that led to natural disasters, epidemics, food insecurity and malnutrition. An economic crisis has triggered a rise in the cost of living and eroded household purchasing power (annual infla-tion reached almost 70 percent by November). The situation was aggravated by shortages of fuel, bread, medicines and cash, im-pacting vulnerable children and families, including 5.5 million people in need of humanitarian assistance, and slowing humanitarian and development operations by all partners. Faced with this situation, Sudan witnessed multiple civil demonstrations that in some instances have necessitated deferment of UNICEF activities in the field. Heavy rains and consequent flash floods also shaped the 2018 humanitarian situation and affected more than 195,000 people, dam-aging households and livelihoods in 15 out of Sudan’s 18 States. In August 2018, an outbreak of Chikungunya virus fever has been reported from Kassala state (Eastern Sudan). As of the 31st of December, a total of 26,892 suspected cases of Chikungunya fever were reported from 10 States with the bulk of cases reported from Kassala, and Red Sea States. Females represent 56 percent of the total reported cases while children under-5 years of age contributed to 5 percent of the total cases. The Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) outbreak which first hit Sudan in 2016 and spread across Sudan’s 18 States in 2017 was somewhat contained in 2018. A total number of 134 cases of AWD were reported (53.9 percent of cases were female), all of whom were admitted and treated, with one reported death in Central Darfur. A measles outbreak was also reported, with Kassala, Gedaref and Northern States being the most affected. The nutrition situation amongst vulnerable groups in Sudan remained critical, with a high number of reported cases of acute malnutrition among South Sudanese refugees in White Nile, and a high number of cases among populations of newly accessible areas in Jebel Marra and Blue Nile. Except for small pockets in Jebel Marra, the security situation in Darfur remained relatively stable in 2018. Some areas, Jebel Marra, the Nuba mountains in South Kordofan, and certain localities in Blue Nile remained mostly inaccessible despite some improvements to access. The number of registered refugees from South Sudan in Darfur currently stands at 150,326 as of December 20186. The inter-agency assessments conducted in areas such as Mistariha, Otash and Hissahissa camps, Rokero, Thur, East Jebel Marra, and Golo uncovered massive humanitarian needs in health, nutrition, education, shelter, WASH, food and protection areas. The insuffi-cient availability of funding for humanitarian actors, a need for timely issuance of visa and travel permits for humanitarian actors and the rapid processing of technical agreements were some of the concerns related to UNICEF’s ability to respond to humanitarian needs. The status quo of sporadic fighting during 2018 also meant that the numbers of displaced populations continue to create vulnerabilities, with the majority being children and women.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination:

In 2018, Sudan’s deteriorating economic conditions have coupled with the ongoing conflict in Darfur and Kordofan regions. This has significantly hindered the delivery and quality of basic services such as health, WASH, education and other social services to an in-creasingly vulnerable population. These challenges forced mid-year revisions of UNICEF led sectors’ (WASH, Nutrition, Education and Child Protection) Humanitarian Response Plan with the cost of needs raised by at least 15 percent over the original Humanitarian Response Plan. The UNICEF led sectors supported delivery of humanitarian assistance into newly accessible areas in Jebel Mara, South Kordofan and Blue Nile through strengthened sub-national coordination structures, government and local partners’ capacity building and pre-positioning of essential supplies ready for immediate delivery to populations in need. UNICEF also assisted UNHCR in responding to

the needs of refugees outside camps which represent an estimated 78 percent of total refugee populations.10 These are served through activities such as, outpatient programmes, infant and young child feeding counselling sessions (IYCFs), community based child protection networks and WASH programmes. UNICEF-Sudan led the initiative to bridge the divide between humanitarian action and development programmes, co-hosting the Global Nutrition Cluster annual meeting in Amman on the 21st of October 2018 (co-hosted by Sudan and Yemen’s nutrition sectors). UNICEF led sectors made efforts to harmonize existing coordination structures by bringing relevant stakeholders and actors together to align sector wide objectives, outcomes, and plans and achieve them at national and sub-national levels. This enables long-term sustainable development while encompassing the short-term needs of humanitarian responses. The sectors envisage a common coordination mechanism which will bring actors from both humanitarian and development settings which is referred to as the “New Way of Working”. A key activity in this progression was the unified sectoral approach to the Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) which includes the identification of common priority locations with high multi-sectoral inputs and integrated risk profiles. The Education and WASH sectors took the next step in harmonizing sector partners’ monitoring and reporting mecha-nisms with the Partner Reporting Portal (PRP). This global online platform will streamline the UNICEF and Sector Partners’ results reporting process and will be rolled out following a pilot trial in North Darfur in early 2019.

Humanitarian Strategy: Through UNICEF led sectors, the 2018 UNICEF Sudan humanitarian response strategy targeted 2.48 million people for assistance, including 1.13 million children11. UNICEF adopted an integrated approach to programme delivery by prioritising assistance based on vulnerability at the household level. UNICEF continues to prioritize life-saving humanitarian assistance while strengthening pro-grammes for advancing sustainable results in a cost-effective manner. In 2018, this was achieved through focussed preparedness and response plans, partner capacity development, timely technical approvals and the deployment of Rapid Response Teams to ensure fast paced assistance to vulnerable children and communities. UNICEF’s humanitarian interventions are in line with upholding International Humanitarian Law, the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), and humanitarian principles including our Core Commitments for Children. UNICEF continues to advocate for the rights of the most vulnerable children in the conflict-affected areas of Blue Nile and the Nuba Mountains, as well as some parts of Jebel Marra in Darfur, though noting that the security situation signif-icantly improved in Darfur over the last two years.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Child Protection:

In 2018, UNICEF and partners reached 194,551 Children (100,003 Boys,

94,548 girls) through Psychosocial Support Services (PSS), Child Friendly

Spaces (CFSs), mobile teams and home visits. This total exceeded the tar-

get by 66,551 children (152%). This is mainly due to improved funding avail-

ability in 2018 which has directly correlated to increased support services

provided. Much of this funding is dedicated to addressing the protection

needs of South Sudanese out-of-camp refugee children and children on the

move which resulted in 113,753 (58,359 boys, 55,364 girls) receiving support

services.

During 2018, 7,323 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC), (4853

boys, 2470 girls) have been identified and benefited from case manage-

ment and Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR). These were placed in al-

ternative family care with regular monitoring from social workers from

UNICEF’s partners (State Council of Child Welfare (SCCW) and the Ministry

of Social Welfare (MoSW) and NGOs. This represents 133 percent achievement of the 2018 planned targets; an achievement made

possible by an unexpected increase of funding.

At the end of 2017, an interagency assessment led by UNHCR found that 78 percent of South Sudanese refugees resided out of

camps, increasing the number of children that fell under UNICEF’s child protection responsibility.12 To help address this in 2018,

UNICEF forged new CSO partnerships and strengthened community-based child protection, in West & South Kordorfan, White Nile

and South Darfur. This has enabled UNICEF to extend services to a broader population and the better networks have improved the

identification of UASCs within local communities.

The current protests over the economic crisis have caused concerns to be raised over the management of civil unrest and the mis-treatment of adolescents detained after participating in peaceful demonstrations. UNICEF is closely monitoring the situation with the authorities and CSOs concerned to ensure that all parties respect the rights of children and that relevant justice mechanisms are followed.

Education: During the year, 82,810 emergency affected children (52% girls) have been provided with access to safe learning spaces, despite an

overall funding gap of 44 percent. This represents an 83.5 percent achievement of UNICEF’s Education humanitarian response plan

in terms of the provision of access to education for children. In addition, UNICEF managed to reach 226,712 emergency affected

children (52% girls) with essential learning and recreational supplies, which represents 91 percent of UNICEF’s humanitarian plan

targets in terms of supplies distribution. Of the above, total 9,445 refugees’ children now have access to education opportun ities,

and 10,555 refugee children have received essential education

supplies.

The Education Sector Strategic Plan has been approved by the

education partners group which includes the provision of education

services to vulnerable groups including refugees and IDPs.

Overall the significant gap in funding for Education in Emergencies

(EiE) interventions, the economic situation, transportation

difficulties and limited access to conflict affected areas (e.g. Jebel

Marra) have affected the ability of UNICEF and partners to deliver

on planned targets. Although there has been an increase in funding

for EiE during the final two quarters of the year, the results will be

reported in 2019 as it has been received late in the year, resulting in

2018 refugee achievements falling short of targets.

A key achievement for 2018 was the support UNICEF and partners

provided to conflict-affected children in hard to reach areas. One

example was when UNICEF and its partners negotiated access to

1300 children from non-government controlled areas in

Jebel Marra to receive educational support and sit for their Grade 8

exams in government controlled territory, thus permitting children to

continue to higher education. UNICEF support also included school

supplies, transportation, and access to safe water and sanitation facilities.

In December, UNICEF continued to focus on School Improvement Plans (SIP) and managed to reach 450 school clubs in 30 different

schools with SIP training in Central Darfur State. The rehabilitation of seven permanent classrooms has benefited 560 children that

now have access to quality education. UNICEF also managed to distribute supplies reaching 26,000 IDPs children in Golo and Tuhur

Schools in Central Darfur state.

Child Survival and Development (CSD) Programme Component Health and Nutrition (H&N):

During 2018, a total of 1,635,400 children under-five (including IDPs and refugees) received health and nutrition interventions

through UNICEF support. This includes 462,919 children who received their first measles vaccinations (90% of the annual

immunization target), 956,925 children that were treated for common childhood diseases through the Integrated Management of

Childhood Illness (IMCI) services (100% of the planned target) and 215,556 children received Severe Acute Malnutrition treatment

(86% of our targets13). UNICEF’s Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) messages reached 818,823 mothers and caregivers (145% of

the target for 2018) through health facilities and the 3,000 UNICEF-supported mother support groups across Sudan.

The high achievement of both the IYCF counselling and IMCI targets is due to the success of the community-based platforms.

Mother support groups were expanded during the year to provide counselling at the community level and more community health

workers were trained and equipped to provide treatment for Diarrhoea and malaria at the household level.

Results for Immunization and Treatment of Acute malnutrition do not include December results due to the partner’s reporting

mechanisms but will be included in January reporting. This should bring the year’s results close to meeting 100 percent of the

Humanitarian Action for Children target.

UNICEF led multiple initiatives to deliver humanitarian assistance to communities previously isolated by conflict in the Jebel Marra

area of Darfur. UNICEF established 30 new OTP (Outpatient Therapeutic Programme) centres and 60 mother support groups.

UNICEF welcomed our regional office surge support and deployment of Irish Aid, who spent four months in Jebel Marra facilitating

capacity building, partnership coordination, monitoring and transportation of supplies. In Jebel Marra, UNICEF also provided

support to communities that have not received humanitarian assistance for over five years. All services, Nutrition, immunization,

IMCI and WASH were delivered as an integrated package.

Following a UNHCR conducted Nutrition Survey14 that reported high levels of malnutrition amongst South Sudanese Refugees in

White Nile, South and West Kordofan states, UNICEF launched a large-scale surge response dubbed the ‘Find and Treat Campaign’.

This mobilized the Ministry of Health, NGO partners and communities, and built their capacity to screen 22,057 children under-five

for malnutrition (of which 656 were identified with severe acute malnutrition and 2,500 as moderately malnourished). These were

admitted for treatment through OTPs run by UNICEF and Supplementary Feeding Programmes run by the World Food Programme.

These were delivered in an integrated manner alongside health measures resulting in an additional 3,068 children receiving measles

immunizations, 514 children receiving treatment for diarrhoea and 984 pregnant mothers enrolled in antenatal care.

Notwithstanding this progress, critical challenges were faced during the year, including the fuel and cash shortages, leading to

delays in sub-national immunization and Vitamin A supplementation campaigns, delayed transportation of supplies as well as

monitoring and supportive supervision activities.

UNICEF and partners also responded to several disease outbreaks, including Chikungunya, Dengue and Acute Watery Diarrhoea

(AWD), mobilizing resources accordingly as part of an integrated response.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): This year, funding only reached 27 percent of the 2018 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) estimated requirements, hampering

the reach of UNICEF’s WASH programme. Increases in inflation, customs levies and transport prices raised the cost of private water

delivery, water and sanitation facilities, rehabilitation and construction, operation and maintenance, spare parts, chemicals and fuel

procurement, and transportation of supplies such as chlorine from Khartoum to the States. This put significant pressure on

vulnerable communities and stretched the WASH programme’s resources to respond to their needs.

However, in 2018, in partnership with the Water Environmental Sanitation (WES) project (under the Ministry of Water Resources,

Irrigation and Electricity) and the private sector, UNICEF provided access to basic water supply for 161,789 vulnerable residents, IDPs

and South Sudanese Refugees including approximately 82,512 children. The emergencies planned for in 2018 did not materialize,

resulting in a shift in focus towards long term solutions to protracted crises. This involved the rehabilitation and maintenance of

existing water systems rather than new construction and community operation programmes. With consideration also given to the

funding situation, this shift in modality resulted in achieving 56 percent of the planned 2018 humanitarian water supply target. In

addition, 1,026,780 people (Male: 510,663, Female: 516,077, including 523,658 children) have been reached for improved access to

water through the operation, maintenance and water chlorination services for their existing water sources, water transportation,

and household water storage.

In partnership with the Ministry of Health and NGOs, UNICEF constructed household and communal latrines for 37,043 people (Male:

15,941, Female: 21,102, including 18,892 children) which achieved 14 percent of the 2018 target. This target was also affected by the

combination of lower than expected humanitarian WASH funding and the non-occurrence of expected emergencies and resulting

shift in modality. UNICEF utilised the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach to mobilise communities to construct their

own long-term latrines and to promote sanitation in conflict affected and returnee communities.

Communication for Development (C4D):

In the last months of 2018, the C4D Section focused on the Chikungunya outbreak. By December, the Red Sea State was the priority

with 835 health workers trained to promote key behaviour change in 70,187 households and a mass media campaign utilising

pamphlets, megaphones and radio broadcasts to target 207,000 individuals. Discussions with the Local, State and Federal Ministries

have advocated for a more engaged response to the Chikungunya outbreak in the Red Sea State and resulted in greater urgency

from mobilized officials and improved access to resources. With outbreaks in Kassala and West Darfur subsiding, activities have

shifted to post-emergency and long-term prevention measures including a causation and mitigation study and community

discussions involving 697 community members.

A post-emergency proposal for Kassala was discussed at different levels, including with community volunteers and other partners,

to ensure that the successful containment of Chikungunya could be replicated in other states. While C4D has been integrated into

sectoral programmes and partnerships, further definition of the multi-sectoral approach can better leverage UNICEF’s intervention

in changing attitudes, behaviour, and social practices. Increased communication between sectors can minimise duplication of

outreach structures and provide clear messages to participants and community groups.

Throughout 2018, UNICEF C4D programmes also contributed to AWD prevention, mosquito borne disease (such as dengue and

chikungunya) prevention, latrine use and health and hygiene. Key mechanisms have been health-volunteers, community

discussions, cinema, radio broadcasts, posters and pamphlets.

Communication and Advocacy:

In 2018, UNICEF’s Communication and Advocacy team has continued advancing the Convention on the Rights of Children (CRC) to

reduce the occurrence of female genital mutilation and child marriage, secure refugee and IDP children’s rights and promote hygiene

and sanitation practices across Sudan. Over one hundred tweets and Facebook posts, two press releases, medium posts, capacity

building with youth groups and events were part of UNICEF’s efforts to promote child rights throughout Sudan and effect policy

change.

In August, the visit of UNICEF Middle East and North Africa Regional

Director, Geert Cappelaere, received widespread national and regional

media coverage, including an in-depth interview on Sky News Arabia

where he advocated the children’s right to education after spending time

in a refugee camp. On World Toilet Day (19th of November) UNICEF

launched the Open Defecation Free (ODF) Roadmap alongside the Ministry

of Health to help achieve Sustainable Development Goal 6 (Basic

Sanitation) by 2022. On World Children’s Day (20th of November) over 60

children took over the UNICEF Sudan office to learn about UNICEF

programs and the CRC, then were given the opportunity to suggest

solutions and ideas to further support vulnerable children in Sudan.

On the 18th of December, UNICEF sponsored the Children’s Filmmaking

Initiative Festival to show twelve short films about the rights of the children

produced by 20 children from Kassala, North Darfur, River Nile state and

Khartoum.

Funding:

UNICEF’s revised 2018 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) appeal for Sudan amounted to US$115.14 million with a 44 per cent

funding gap at end of the year. The $51.86 million received and the $13.14 million carried over from 2017 still left a gap of US$50

million which had a significant impact on UNICEF’s ability to provide life-saving response to 2.6 million emergency-affected children.

Without adequate and timely funding, UNICEF was not able to respond to the ongoing disease outbreaks, the nutrition crisis or to

reach the most vulnerable children in need of education, health, child protection and WASH services. UNICEF Sudan would like to

express its continued, humble and sincere appreciation to all donors that support the humanitarian appeal in Sudan. In 2018 the

emergency response was supported by the EU, the United States, Canada, Germany, Japan, Sweden, the United Kingdom, the

Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF), the Sudan Humanitarian Fund SHF, as well as UNICEF resources, pooled from public and

private donors around the world.

Annex A15

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMME RESULTS (January - December 2018)

15 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. 16 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. 17 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. 18 The majority of expected funds for refugees against these targets was received in mid-2018, implementation of these activities will be reflected in early 2019 19 When targets were set for 2018, there was an over-estimation of the number of SSR to be reached in the localities earmarked for UNICEF, most SSR are being served through host community activities without statistical disaggregation
