PREFACE

I am delighted to announce a new ambitious strategic direction for humanitarian action in South Sudan. The Government is working closely with the humanitarian community to position humanitarian work in South Sudan within the larger framework of the New Deal Compact, based on the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States. This approach is a significant improvement on how humanitarian response is designed, by strengthening links to more durable solutions spearheaded by the State and its institutions. The approach will respond to short-term needs, while simultaneously addressing longer term challenges by increasing community resilience and boosting national capacity to provide basic services, all within the parameters of humanitarian action.

The first pillar of the strategy focuses on responding to immediate life-saving needs. Humanitarian partners will continue to provide assistance, while strengthening links with key ministries to improve the reach, quality and effectiveness of the aid provided. Strength-ening people's resilience is the second pillar of the approach. Building the capacity of communities to deal with emergencies, and linking coping mechanisms to medium and long term development will ultimately reduce the need for international emergency assistance. The third strategic pillar will focus on efforts by partners to strengthen national systems to deliver basic services at the national and state level. With this three-pronged approach, we also aim to protect the environment, promote gender equality and protect vulnerable communities from harm.

The Government will make concrete commitments towards this strategy at all levels. The 2013/14 budget will expand from SSP 6.7 billion to SSP 9.8 billion. The SSP 3.1 billion increase will primarily be spent on improving social services, infrastructure, agriculture and liveli-hoods. The budget for health is expected to grow by 100 per cent in 2014, spending on education will increase by 35 per cent and public investment will rise by over 300 per cent. This is all part of the Government's central commitment to empowering women in South Sudan.

No single country in the world received more humanitarian funding than South Sudan in 2013. As of the end of October the Consoli-dated Appeal was 70 per cent funded, with US$755 million raised to address acute needs. The Government is very appreciative of our partners in the humanitarian community - the NGOs, the UN family and donor countries - for their continued engagement with South Sudan over the past year.

We appeal to our partners to commit to this new strategy and continue our partnership which has gone from strength to strength. We have an opportunity to move beyond the traditional ways in which humanitarian assistance has been provided, towards forging new partnerships which will lead to a more resilient and empowered South Sudan. At the end of 2016, I hope we will all be able to look back in pride at our work over the coming years, which will leave the people of this young nation better placed to manage our country’s challenges.

FOREWORD

Though still fragile, the situation in South Sudan has the potential to improve in 2014 and beyond. Violence, while still high, is causing fewer deaths and displacing fewer people in more areas of the country than in previous years. The surge of refugees and returnees crossing into South Sudan has begun to subside. Food security is improving. For the first time since 2011, needs are no longer increasing.

In 2013, I travelled to many counties in all the states of South Sudan. I listened to communities hit by crisis, Government partners and aid workers in the deep field. These conversations confirmed what we already know: that much of the humanitarian needs stem from a chronic lack of development. Violence ruins the lives and livelihoods of people who already exist on the edge. Villages which depend on subsistence farming become extremely vulnerable to floods. Returnees come home to destitute communities who struggle to support them.

As humanitarians, we have a responsibility to ensure that our programmes not only save lives today, but also create the conditions for a brighter tomorrow. By increasing our focus on building resilience, improving prevention and preparedness to crises, and contributing to strengthening national systems to deliver basic services, we can make a lasting difference and ultimately reduce reliance on emergency aid. Addressing these issues is central to humanitarian action in South Sudan and requires a change in strategy.

The 2014-16 CAP links humanitarian action to the wider framework of South Sudan’s New Deal Compact, as one component of the effort to move the country from fragility to resilience. The appeal takes an innovative, three-tiered approach to aid and has the following goals: 1) responding to immediate humanitarian needs; 2) enhancing people’s preparedness and resilience; and 3) strengthening national capacity to deliver basic services.

As in previous years, the core of our work responds to immediate threats to people’s lives, including violence, displacement, disease outbreaks and natural disasters. Our commitment to the core of humanitarian action remains steadfast. However, to ensure that our work has a more lasting impact, partners in each sector have worked hard to ensure that their strategies for the coming three years will help build stronger local and national systems to address needs, while alleviating immediate suffering. In this vein, the new CAP takes a three-year view at a strategic level while maintaining an annual planning cycle. This will enable us to closely monitor progress on our three-year strategy and goals.

While the situation has stabilized - with the stark exception of parts of Jonglei State - it is imperative that South Sudan not fall back into crisis. The resilience agenda will support this aim. We hope that donors will stand by South Sudan and show the same commitment to this new strategy as they have done to previous appeals. An estimated $1.1 billion is required to address acute needs in 2014. This amounts to just $355 per person targeted by projects in this appeal, a sound investment in the world's youngest country.

Working ever more closely together with state institutions, we will collectively work to address the immediate needs of the most vulnerable of South Sudan while strengthening the ability of both communities and institutions to forge a better future.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

response to high needs in 2013The humanitarian situation in South Sudan saw improvements on several fronts in 2013, with overall needs reducing for the first time since 2011. The arrival of Sudanese refugees slowed, and returns of South Sudanese from Sudan continued to decrease as they have every year since 2009. Food security improved for many South Sudanese, although the number of people deemed severely food insecure remained worryingly high.

Overall, up to 4.4 million people, or about one third of the popula-tion, needed assistance in 2013. Between January and October an estimated 1.8 million of the targeted 3 million people received assistance. Starting in March, aid organizations increased their efforts to respond to a large-scale displacement of people due to insecurity in Pibor County, Jonglei State. Though challenging, reaching communities struck by violence was made possible thanks to a negotiated access strategy, including high-level advo-cacy with all stakeholders. By mid-July, aid organizations could launch a response in several locations in areas of state and non-state presence. State institutions took several measures of their own to improve humanitarian access in Jonglei.

Some 199,000 people were affected by floods, with over 117,000 reached with emergency relief as of October, with responses ongoing. As in 2012, pre-positioning life-saving supplies in Juba and deep field hubs was successful, with 85 per cent of supplies pre-positioned.

relations with sudan improveRelations between South Sudan and neighbouring Sudan, though fractious in the first half of the year, saw improvements later in the year with commitments to resolve issues including continued oil production. However, austerity measures remained in place throughout the year, and will continue to be felt in 2014. Several Comprehensive Peace Agreement issues also lay unresolved, with the status of the contested Abyei area a potential pressure point for instability in the year ahead. Against this backdrop, humanitarian partners remain providers of first resort, particularly in the areas of emergency education, food assistance, health, nutrition, water and sanitation.

a new focus on resilienceWhile needs are expected to remain high in some areas such as food security in 2014-2016, there are opportunities for innova-tive and more targeted approaches to strengthen livelihoods, and the resilience of families and communities. In the years ahead, the humanitarian community will expand the focus of its work to ensure that emergency aid helps break cycles of need caused by food insecurity, violence, flooding and disease outbreaks.

With this in mind, aid organizations have developed a three-year strategy for providing life-saving relief while also improving preparedness, mitigating against future shocks, strengthening national capacity and laying the groundwork for development. The three pillars of the 2014-2016 humanitarian strategy are:

y Responding to immediate humanitarian need;

y Enhancing preparedness and building resilience of house-holds and communities to shocks; and

y Building capacity and strengthening systems of institutions to deliver basic services.

$1.1 billion dollars needed to achieve goalsTo save lives and strengthen resilience across South Sudan, aid organizations require $1.1 billion in 2014, for 306 projects imple-mented by 128 partners and coordinated by 12 clusters. Together, the projects target 3.1 million people with assistance. This require-ment reflects a rigorous approach by all clusters in reviewing what resources are needed to reach shared goals, and partners’ capacity to implement. Encouragingly, there has been an increase in the number of national NGOs joining the CAP.

Donors have continued to stand by South Sudan. As of 31 October, $755 million had been mobilized towards CAP projects in 2013, covering 70 per cent of identified needs. It is hoped that donors will continue this generous support to South Sudan in 2014 and beyond.

Key planning figures 2014

Crisis-driven displacement caused by inter-communal violence and hostilities between state and non-state armed actors shatters lives and livelihoods. Displacement stretches coping mechanisms, pushing families further into vulnerability

food insecurity remains high - some 830,000 people are expected to be severely food insecure in 2014

refugees and returnees continue to arrive, although at a slower pace, needing sustainable support and services

seasonal floods strike already vulnerable communities, displacing people temporarily and disrupting livelihoods

access restrictions for aid agencies make it challenging and costly to reach communities in need in remote areas, especially during the rainy season. Violence against aid workers is likely to hinder the delivery of humanitarian relief

drivers and underlying factors of needPoverty underpins many of the humanitarian challenges facing South Sudan. It is one of the poorest countries in the world,1 with half the population living below the national poverty line of 73 South Sudanese pounds (about $17) per month.2 The country has one of the highest maternal mortality rates globally (2,054 per 100,000 live births), threatening the lives of more than 2.2 million women.3 Infant and under-five mortality rates are also high - 75 and 105 per 1,000 live births respectively. Only 44 per cent of children are enrolled in primary school, and only 1.6 per cent attends secondary school.

These and other chronically low human development indi-cators make many communities extremely vulnerable, and undermine their ability to withstand shocks and rebuild their lives in the aftermath of disaster. Increasing people's resil-ience and supporting state institutions to provide services is pivotal to prevent suffering and make people less reliant on international emergency relief.

PRIORITY NEEDS

Crisis-driven displacementViolence continues to de-stabilize parts of the country and disrupt the lives of tens of thousands of people. In the coming year, civilians will continue to bear the brunt of inter-communal fighting and cattle-raiding, as well as state versus non-state armed actor violence in Jonglei. An estimated 125,000 people may be internally displaced by violence in 2014.4 While this is predicted to be lower than the number of people displaced annually between 2010 and 2012, violence will continue to wreck lives, with its impact felt strongest in areas where people have been displaced several times, and where livelihoods and coping mechanisms have been shattered. Internal insecurity is likely to concentrate largely in Jonglei State and the tri-state area (between Lakes, Unity and Warrap).

As the status of the contested Abyei area is likely to remain unre-solved in 2014, some 105,000 people from the disputed region are anticipated to continue to require humanitarian assistance, whether they are inside Abyei or remain displaced outside the area.5 Relief will be provided commensurate with assessed needs, with longer term development and reconstruction unlikely until the status of the area is resolved.

acute food insecurity A complex web of shocks and vulnerabilities threaten access to, and availability, use and stability of food for people in South Sudan. An estimated 3.2 to 4.6 million people could be at risk of food insecurity over the next three years. Notwithstanding positive outcomes of ongoing programmes in support of national strategies for reducing food insecurity, needs will remain high. The impact on malnutrition is of particular concern, with malnu-trition rates persistently above emergency threshold levels of 15 per cent in several states, including Jonglei, Unity and Warrap.6 Another worry is new emerging food crop pests and diseases.

In 2014, an estimated 4.4 million people will face food insecurity. Some 830,000 people - around 7 per cent of the population - are likely to be severely food insecure. Although a slight increase on the 4.1 million figure of 2013 due to population growth, these figures signal that the overall situation is stabilizing. Nevertheless, needs remain unacceptably high. Partners will target up to 2.3 million people for food and livelihoods support. For emergency support, they will target severely food insecure people, vulnerable groups and moderately food insecure people who are unable to engage in livelihood activities. Livelihood programmes will be geared towards helping communities either produce, market or purchase their own food.

refugees and returneesSouth Sudan is projected to host an estimated 270,000 refugees by the end of 2014 (up to 293,000 by end of 2015 and 317,000 by the end of 2016). The majority are Sudanese refugees, with some 24,000 refugees from Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Eritrea and Ethiopia. The number of new refugee arrivals from Sudan is projected to stabilize in 2014, enabling aid organizations to focus response efforts on longer term support, including providing sustainable housing and education programmes and livelihoods support. Partners will also ensure the protection of refugees by setting up new camps in more suitable locations, and working to ensure that the civilian nature of the camps is protected. Health programmes will continue to focus on monitoring and controlling communicable diseases including hepatitis E, measles and polio.

South Sudanese continue to return home from Sudan, although in lower numbers. Since 2007, about 1.9 million South Sudanese have returned home. It is estimated that some 250,000-300,000 South Sudanese remain in Sudan, although it is unknown how many still wish to or will return to South Sudan.7

Partners are planning for the arrival of about 50,000 returnees in 2014,8 and are prioritizing the return in late 2013 until early 2014 of about 19,000 South Sudanese currently living in open areas in Khartoum State. Talks between South Sudan and Sudan in September on the Four Freedoms Agreement - which would allow South Sudanese living in Sudan to regularize their stay - signaled a possible ratification of the framework signed in September 2012. This could pave the way for a further reduction in people returning, as citizens move freely between the two countries. However, an additional nine border crossings between South Sudan and Sudan are expected to be opened during the first half of 2014. This may lead to the opening of more corridors for returnees which could potentially result in bottlenecks similar to that in Renk, as returnees are usually unable to independently arrive at the places where they intend to settle.

Aid agencies will focus on supporting the dignified movement of returnees to their areas of origin or to where they wish to settle, and on the initial reintegration of new arrivals. Assistance will include food, shelter, life-saving services for a start-up period and liveli-hood support. The ability of state authorities to allocate land for new arrivals, ensure access to basic services and take on longer term reintegration needs will be key to successful integration.

humanitarian access restrictionsSouth Sudan’s physical environment and lack of infrastructure will continue to pose significant challenges for humanitarian activi-ties in 2014. With only 300 kilometres of paved road in a territory

roughly the size of France, reaching communities by land is often a daunting process.9 During the wet season around 60 per cent of the country is cut off for road travel, and aid agencies depend on expensive air assets. Mines and unexploded ordnance are also a constraint. There are still 637 known hazard areas, with re-mining activities in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile causing loss of life and hindering access.

Violence against humanitarian workers, assets and premises - especially theft and looting - is likely to remain a major chal-lenge in 2014. Economically motivated attacks on aid convoys will threaten humanitarian activities, particularly during the dry season when roads are accessible. Active hostilities, especially in Jonglei State and border areas, may create periods of acute access constraints, including the suspension of humanitarian activities and withdrawal of aid workers. There is currently no evidence that harassment and intimidation of aid workers, including by authorities and state security forces, will not continue in 2014. This may include regular incidents of arrest and detention, arbitrary or illegal taxation, and interference into human resource and admin-istrative policies.

relations with sudanTensions with Sudan continue to impact the humanitarian situa-tion. Despite the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in 2005, unresolved CPA issues such as security arrange-ments along the border between the two countries mean that many people continue to be uprooted from their homes and fear returning. Unless CPA issues are resolved around the negotiating table, it is likely that many displaced communities will not return home in 2014.

The halt in oil production in 2012, which ended in April 2013, forced the Government to implement severe austerity budget cuts, reducing monthly spending by more than 50 per cent prior to the stoppage. Ordinary citizens were pushed deeper into vulnerability. Austerity measures will continue to be in place throughout the 2013-2014 fiscal year. With oil production resumed, albeit at lower rates than before the shutdown, stable relations with Sudan will be vital for economic stability in 2014 and beyond.

national capacity The capacity of state institutions to provide basic emergency services is challenged, as the country slowly rebuilds after decades of conflict. State institutions were only created in July 2011, with the secession of South Sudan from neighbouring Sudan. Aid orga-nizations provide the vast majority of relief in emergencies. Some increases in social spending are budgeted for in 2014, including in the areas of health and education. However, aid agencies will continue to provide the bulk of relief, as national institutions

slowly grow. To strengthen national systems for service delivery, aid agencies will continue to step up capacity-building of state institutions at Juba and state level to supprt the delivery of basic services. This will include support in areas of coordination and disaster preparedness, mitigation and management, in collabora-tion with relevant line ministries and in relation to the introduction of regulatory frameworks and the ratification of key agreements.

seasonal floodingEvery year, South Sudan is struck by seasonal floods. Heavy rains in June to October cause rivers to overflow, destroying houses, crops and belongings, and temporarily displacing people from their homes. Even without rains, heavy rains in neighbouring Ethi-opia affect South Sudan. In the first nine months of 2013, nearly 200,000 people were affected by floods and needed assistance. Though the impact was lower than during the same period in 2012, when 260,000 people were affected, floods continue to have a severe impact on already vulnerable communities. A lack of preparedness and mitigation measures compounds the situa-tion, which is unlikely to change in 2014.

assessment planningHumanitarian partners have identified gaps in information which impede the ability of aid agencies to respond to emergencies. The Initial Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) - the first step in the humanitarian community’s response to an emergency - brings together emergency specialists from clusters and national coun-terparts. Based on identified needs (including protection and gender specific factors), partners develop a response plan, mobilize resources, deliver assistance and monitor the impact of their response.

The humanitarian community will expand the current Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) tool in 2014 to provide analysis of a range of indicators to help prioritize humanitarian needs. Classifying the severity and causes of multiple indicators will strengthen consensus among stakeholders to priority needs, improving analysis and delivery of assistance.

To further contribute to stabilizing food security, the IPC will be followed by capacity-building programmes to help national institutions undertake a comprehensive agriculture census, which will also contribute to the understanding of vulnerability.

Vulnerability mapping allows aid organizations to identify the geographical areas across the country where humanitarian needs are greatest. Initial vulnerability mapping of humanitarian needs in South Sudan was completed in September 2013 reaching down to county level. The following categories were used to determine the counties where needs are most acute: refugees; returnees; people displaced; violent incidents; flood-affected people; humanitarian access; food security; and population density. This will enable partners to target aid programmes and resources more effectively to areas of highest need through identifying under-served areas. The preliminary mapping exercise identified several border areas and much of Jonglei State as affected by high needs. A high concentration of access incidents in Central Equatoria makes the state appear disproportionately vulner-able. Vulnerability mapping will be refined in 2014 to support the humanitarian community’s analysis of priorities.

Government capacity to provide basic services is low, as the country slowly rebuilds itself after decades of civil war. Government institutions were only created in July 2011, with the secession of South Sudan from Sudan. Following a cabinet reshuffle in July 2013, the Ministry of Humanitar-ian Affairs and Disaster Management was absorbed into the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare. The new Ministry is prioritizing disaster management with the creation of a Disaster Management Policy Working Group. While strategic responsibility lies within the Ministry, operational functions sit with the Government’s Relief and Rehabilitation Commission, which has a presence in all ten states.

Due to capacity gaps in the State's ability to deliver frontline services, aid organizations provide the vast majority of relief in emergencies. increases in social spending are budgeted for in 2014, including in the areas of health and education.

National NGOs number in the hundreds, with nearly 100 registered with the National NGO Forum as of February 2013. They often work in some of the most far flung and hard-to-reach areas of the country. The South Sudan Red Cross Society is an auxiliary to the Government and is boosting its volunteer base in all states.

The international aid community in South Sudan is strong, with 20 UN agencies and more than 150 INGOs, repre-senting decades of experience of working in the country. It brings together donor countries and aid organizations through a number of coordination mechanisms at national and state level.

response capacity


MOST-LIKELY SCENARIO IN 2014

The most-likely scenario forms the basis for clusters to develop their strategies, plans and cost requirements for 2014.

z the humanitarian situation stabilizes, with overall food secu-rity improving slightly and displacement reducing. However, needs remain high in several areas including severe food inse-curity and violence-related displacement in Jonglei. Humani-tarian partners face access constraints at both national and state level, and poor physical infrastructure, though negotiated access allows for access to areas of state and non-state pres-ence. Seasonal flooding occurs at moderate levels.

z status quo in relations with sudan, although oil keps flowing as dialogue continues on the September 2012 Addis agree-ments. The war in Blue Nile and South Kordofan enters a protracted stage, with moderate levels of displacement south-ward. Insecurity in Sudan’s Darfur region continues, resulting in low levels of cross border movements. The status of Abyei remains unresolved with many people reliant on assistance. The Four Freedoms Agreement is ratified. The pace of returns to South Sudan continues to slow.

z tensions inside south sudan cause violence and displace-ment. SPLA discipline remains weak, and non-state armed actor activity and inter-communal fighting destabilize insecure areas, albeit less than previous years in most areas apart from Jonglei State. Challenges regarding disarmament, rule of law and governance gaps play a role in fueling insecurity. Political tensions rise in the run up to 2015 national elections, with possible instability in hotspot areas. The LRA remains dormant.

z state capacity to deliver basic services remains low, while a stagnated economic climate exacerbates socio-economic strains. Though oil production continues, security priorities dominate government spending, leaving little space for basic services provision and addressing social needs. High inflation, partial border closures with Sudan, insufficient agricultural production and limited animal husbandry, limited private invest-ment and heavy reliance on oil revenues, combine with unmet expectations to breed social discontent. State institutions work to strengthen basic policy and legal frameworks.

TRIGGERS

The conditions below have triggered the most likely humanitarian planning scenario for 2014.

z Some of the September 2012 Addis agreements are ratified, including the Four Freedoms.

z State versus non-state armed actor violence continues.

z Reintegration of non-state armed actors continues with mixed results.

z Dialogue on resolving inter-communal tensions continues with mixed results.

z Disarmament campaigns continue with intermittent success.

zWar continues in Blue Nile and South Kordofan.

z Status of Abyei remains contested.

z Partial reopening of some trade borders between South Sudan and Sudan.

z Moderate improvements in food security and factors influencing crop and livestock production.

z No significant easing of austerity measures imposed mid-2012.

PLANNING SCENARIOSConditions identified for the most-likely and worst-case humanitarian scenarios


WORST-CASE SCENARIO IN 2014

The worst-case scenario forms the basis of the South Sudan contingency plan.

z Conflict breaks out between South Sudan and Sudan after the September 2012 Addis agreements are rescinded. People flee southward. Oil production shuts down. Internal tensions in Sudan flare and 300,000 South Sudanese return en masse.

z Significant internal displacement is caused by a sharp increase in hostilities between state and non-state armed actors, and inter-communal clashes. Interference in aid work, state versus non-state armed actor clashes and lack of access to areas, lead to a drawdown of humanitarian assistance.

z Regional instability causes spillover in refugees. Conflict in Sudan’s Blue Nile, Darfur and South Kordofan states, and instability in CAR and DRC, sees 380,000 refugees hosted in South Sudan.

z The current level of national cohesion becomes strained in the run-up to the 2015 elections.

TRIGGERS

The contingency plan to respond to a worst-case scenario is implemented if several of the conditions below are triggered, and affect significant numbers of people.

Year after year, violence, poverty and seasonal hazards drive needs in South Sudan. Already vulnerable communities are struck by cyclical crises, which can often be foreseen to a significant extent. The suffering generated could be reduced by stronger community resilience to shocks, and higher state capacity to manage disasters and provide basic services.

Recognizing that urgent needs are intertwined with deep-rooted development and stability challenges, the aid community will take a longer term view of humanitarian action for this consolidated appeal. By extending the humanitarian strategy over three years from 2014 to 2016, partners will deliver an emergency response that will address immediate needs, while laying foundations for people to climb out of acute hardship and supporting national institutions to deliver basic services. A multi-year approach will also make it easier for aid agencies to set benchmarks for year-on-year progress, measure results and adjust strategies as needed, ultimately leading to increased accountability to affected people.

The overall goal is to improve the focus of humanitarian assistance whereby core life-saving assistance and resources target the most vulnerable, while contributing to creating condi-tions where fewer people require emergency relief. By the end of 2016, partners aim to have reached a stage where they are able to focus on the most vulnerable groups - for example newly displaced people, refugees and the severely food insecure - with the longer-term needs of more resilient communities addressed

▼

▼Resilience refers to people’s ability to endure stresses and shocks and adapt to new strategies, in ways that preserve the integrity of individuals, households and communities (while not deepening their vulnerability). People are resil-ient when they are able to meet their basic needs in a sustainable way and without reliance on external assis-tance. This implies that they have; a) the capacity to carry out basic functions and structures during stresses and shocks, b) access to a range of skills and resources that allow them to adapt to changing circumstances, and c) the ability to anticipate, prevent, prepare for and respond to stresses and shocks without compromising their long-term prospects.

Within the framework of humanitarian action, building resilience can involve a wide range of activities within the categories of emergency preparedness and risk reduction, livelihood support and social protection. By providing more sustainable support with longer term benefits, supporting resilience activities when assist-ing crisis-affected communities is a way to increase the impact and cost effectiveness of aid. Building resilience will include an overall understanding of existing coping strategies, vulnerabilities and capacity within specific sectors, seasonal hardships, the role governance plays and their priorities of the community.

the road to resilience

through development programmes. There will be a measurable shift away from the use of humanitarian assistance to address chronic needs driven by poverty as state institutions and develop-ment partners are better able to provide basic services.

In 2012, humanitarian assistance represented an estimated 56 per cent of all international aid to South Sudan. The longer vision set out in this consolidated appeal positions humanitarian action as one component in a wider project to help South Sudan move from fragility to resilience. In the context of the New Deal Compact, based on the New Deal for Engagement in Fragile States, the country and its international partners are addressing a range of challenges covering security, politics, justice, economic foundations and basic services.10 Devising relief programmes which, where possible, increase people’s ability to be self-reliant and strengthen access to basic services, makes humanitarian action an important part of this process. Humanitarian action will address three of the New Deal goals; economic foundations revenue and services, and justice.

HUMANITARIAN STRATEGY 2014-2016A longer vision for humanitarian relief, as strategy extends to three years


health: Emergency preparedness and response capacity-building of emergency health systems, community sensitization on disease prevention, and integrated community case manage-ment will contribute to the overall health of the targeted communi-ties thus improving resilience; and

refugees: Transition from emergency response to care and maintenance through the piloting of self-reliance activities. These include income-generation, further establishment of maintenance committees for services, and shelter activities planned within an environmental protection framework to reduce negative environ-mental impact of the refugee presence. The aim is also to reduce potential conflict triggers with refugee impacted communities.

Strengthening national systems for delivering basic services and enabling the state to be the primary provider of services will reduce the need for humanitarian aid over time. This includes working closely with line ministries, national non-governmental organizations, civil society and local communities, in devising and implementing relief programmes and early warning systems, and ensuring that humanitarian organizations impart as much knowledge and capacity to national organizations as possible. An increased focus on national capacity will also improve account-ability to affected communities, by improving the understanding of needs at the local level, and strengthening mechanisms for communication between communities and local and national authorities. To meet this objective, the clusters have paid specific attention in their response plans to coordination with state institutions, national non-governmental organizations and development initiatives to expand basic services across the country. Some examples of building capacity and strengthening of systems in the South Sudan context are (see clusters’ specific response plans for detailed strategies):

education: National actors (teachers, education officials, volun-teers) will be trained in education in emergencies continuity planning, child centered disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness, using guidance and materials developed by Global Education Cluster;

food and livelihoods: Collaboration with the state institutions on vulnerability analysis, food security monitoring, and agriculture census geared towards enhancing national capacity to conduct food security analysis, early warning, disaster risk reduction and response planning;

refugees: Technical support to the Commission for Refugee Affairs and local government, specifically in relation to the Refugee Act implementation and human rights, as well as capacity building to enable the Commission to take a greater leadership role in refugee service provision.

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND INDICATORS

To maximize the positive impact of programmes and to contribute to securing the lives and rebuilding of the livelihoods of up to 4.4 million people in need, the strategy for humanitarian action in 2014-2016 is based around three pillars:

1. provide a coordinated response to immediate humanitarian needs

This focuses on saving lives and alleviating acute suffering by reaching people in need on time, in a way that maximizes the impact of resources and avoids duplication. The objective encompasses a wide range of activities, from emergency healthcare and food assistance, to the distribution of water and sanitation supplies, emergency shelter, provision of emergency education, and protection of civilians impacted by violence. It includes the response to needs created by displacement whether by violence, flooding or other causes, and includes assistance to refugees living in South Sudan and support to new returnees from Sudan. Key strategies used will be: pre-positioning supplies in state capitals and deep field hubs during the dry season; consistent use of collectively agreed assessment and response mechanisms providing multi-sectoral responses (which take into account gender, environment and HIV/AIDS issues); strengthening of the humanitarian coordination architecture down to state level; ensuring access to affected people, and the safety of aid workers.

Strengthening preparedness and building people’s resilience aims to lessen suffering by building communities’ ability to cope with shocks. It also aims to prevent short-term crises impacting progress towards better living conditions. Humanitarian activities in this area include disaster preparedness and risk reduction, an intensified focus on livelihoods and food self-sufficiency, and conflict prevention to reduce protection risks to vulnerable people. Some examples of resilience building strategies (see clusters’ specific response plans for detailed strategies) in the South Sudan context are:

education: Training education staff on life skills and psychoso-cial support using materials contextualized to South Sudan;

food security: Increasing food availability for at risk communi-ties through protection and diversification of livelihood systems, strategies and assets to increase household and communities’ ability to cope with shocks;

2. enhance people’s preparedness and build resilience to shocks

3. Build capacity and strengthen national institutions to deliver basic services


genderNatural disasters and armed conflict do not affect women, men, girls and boys evenly; they

are deeply discriminatory. In South Sudan women and girls’ disadvantages are driven largely by customary practices that perpetuate inequality, translating into human rights violations social exclusion and limited opportunity. South Sudanese women face a myriad of hardships and obstacles in their daily lives, including high levels of poverty, low levels of literacy, pronounced gender gaps in education and traditional prac-tices, and the highest maternal mortality rate in the world - estimated at 2,054 deaths per 100,000 live births.11 These disparities are more widely pronounced in areas struck by violence and disaster, where women and girls are at greater risk for gender-based violence, and in areas where communi-ties do not have access to basic services. On the other hand boys are at a heightened risk for recruitment by armed actors, a loss of access to education, and injury and death in times of violence between armed groups or communities.

A focus on gender equality in humanitarian action can help address these disparities by:

1. enhancing the response to immediate and special needs by integrating gender into assessments through collection, analysis and reporting on sex and age disaggregated data;

2. strengthening resilience by recognizing the traditional coping mechanisms and different needs, capacities and contributions of women, girls, boys and men, beginning at the household level; and

3. promoting a gender mainstreaming strategy that builds capacity and strengthening of institutions by ensuring that women’s and men’s experiences feed into the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of policies and programmes.

hiV and aidsThe HIV epidemic in South Sudan is steadily increasing while access to services is still far

below acceptable standards. The adult HIV prevalence rate is estimated at 2.7 per cent12 and the number of people living with HIV is estimated at 152,000, including 20,000 children under 14. Access to treatment and prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV is below 10 per cent, while HIV prevention services are lacking in most parts of the country, especially emergency-affected areas.13

In emergencies, there is heightened risk of exposure to HIV infection, especially during displacement and disruption of social networks. The vulnerability of people living with HIV and affected households may also increase due to increased disease, food insecurity and lack of access to basic social and health information and services.

This context, combined with the current level of response, poses an increasing risk of HIV infection among people in South Sudan. HIV integration in emergency preparedness and response addresses the added vulnerabilities of emer-gency affected populations, while building resilience to shocks among HIV-affected households. Capacity building of communities, state institutions and humanitarian partners to identify and address HIV vulnerabilities is a priority and will continue in all affected states. The response to HIV in emer-gencies will progress in the coming three years from basic information, education and prevention of transmission, to provision of services including confidential HIV counseling and testing, elimination of mother-to-child transmission, and access to care and treatment. A national strategy on HIV in humanitarian response provides the platform for this work, under the framework of the National Strategic Plan for HIV and AIDS 2013-2017.

environmental impactEnvironmental degradation is one of the drivers

of conflict in parts of South Sudan, where competition over natural resources is high. In addition, humanitarian activi-ties are undertaken in the context of a vulnerable natural resource base, including forests. Vulnerable communities, including refugees, rely heavily on wood for their energy needs, causing large-scale degradation and loss in biodi-versity. Failure to address the degradation and depletion of these resources weakens aid delivery and community resilience, and hinders early recovery.

To support partners in understanding environmental vulner-abilities and potential negative impacts of humanitarian action, a voluntary Environment Marker providing guidance on identifying potential negative impacts and what steps are necessary to be undertaken to mitigate the negative impacts has been developed for use in South Sudan. Partners will be supported in understanding the environmental context, assessing projects for environmental impacts, mitigating negative environmental impacts and enhancing projects where possible, with emphasis on sustainable responses.

Cluster coordinators and co-coordinators defended their 2014-2016 strategies to an advisory panel comprising the Humani-tarian Coordinator, representatives from the Ministry of Gender, Child, Social Welfare, Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Manage-ment, the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission, two donors, two NGO Forum representatives, two UN agency country repre-sentatives and OCHA. The panel paid particular attention to the coherence of clusters’ strategies with the three overarching stra-tegic objectives; changes in key planning parameters, such as reductions in the number of returnees and refugees anticipated, and food security stabilizing; and demonstrated analysis and prioritization of needs underpinning the strategy. Cluster strate-gies were adjusted and approved based on the panel’s feedback, and guided the development of project proposals by partners.

All projects underwent a peer review based on standardized criteria identified and agreed by the Inter-Sector Working Group and OCHA. The relevance of projects for inclusion in the CAP was examined on the basis of: contributions to the overall country strategy; cluster-specific strategic objectives; population and geographic area targeted, with priority given to projects imple-mented in under-served areas; feasibility of the budget and project implementation timeline; the partner’s involvement in the cluster mechanism; and inclusion of cross-cutting issues. In particular, priority was given to projects that clearly identify and respond to the distinct needs of women, girls, boys and men, and which will enable monitoring of equitable participation and fair distribution of aid resources. In addition to these shared criteria, each cluster determined its own cluster-specific project criteria.

Following the prioritiziation process immediate high (pipelines) and high priority projects account for 44 per cent of all projects in 2014, with medium and low priority projects accounting for 31 per cent and 25 per cent respectively.

MONITORING AND REPORTING

A multi-year Strategic Response Plan requires strong monitoring systems to gather information and review progress against multi-year objectives. In 2014-2016, programme cycle manage-ment will be strengthened, improving the ability of the clusters and the HCT to measure the achievements of the humanitarian response. The 2014-2016 Plan will better measure the contribu-tion of humanitarian partners to building resilience of vulnerable communities and the capacity of national actors.

improving quality of monitoring and reporting Monitoring takes place through the partners and clusters at national and state levels, with OCHA providing overall monitoring of PCM for humanitarian action at the strategic level. The ISWG will play a key role in reviewing results achieved on a regular basis to support decision making processes of the HCT and to take corrective action when required.

Six-monthly reviews of the Strategic Response Plan, including cluster defenses of changes in needs or strategy, will be the cornerstone of the monitoring system, allowing for in-depth review of the results achieved against objectives. The mid-year reviews look specifically at resource mobilization and the capacity of partners to implement activities. Clusters are evaluated on their progress against strategic goals, people reached, specific cluster objectives, the status of their respective pipelines, and the level of funding mobilized, as seen in the annex on cluster achievements in 2013 in this report.

Targets for 2015 and 2016, where not already available, will also be set at these reviews. No estimate has been done for internally displaced people in 2015 and 2016, due to the unpredictability of the situation.

Building upon progress made in 2013, a number of improve-ments relating to the expansion of data collection and tracking mechanisms are planned by several clusters. This will include initiatives to strengthen monitoring capacity at the local level, aligning cluster systems with national monitoring mechanisms, or adding a qualitative dimension to the tracking of outcomes by increasing post-distribution monitoring.

Further inter-cluster collaboration and mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues will contribute to the monitoring of the effectiveness of the humanitarian response.

In 2013, the South Sudan Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) supported the clusters’ monitoring and reporting (M&R) func-tion by providing eight M&R specialists to key clusters. Their contribution is widely recognized to strengthening monitoring and reporting systems through CHF-funded projects, and better understanding the efficiency of aid delivery. In 2014, this support will be progressively expanded to cover the full humanitarian planning process.

strengthening national capacitiesThe humanitarian community aims to build the capacity of local actors in 2014-2016, placing emphasis on training national minis-tries and counterparts. Efforts will increase to build national moni-toring and surveillance systems and to continue aligning clusters’ own data gathering and management systems with national ones.

strengthening coordination systemsClusters’ monitoring and reporting systems are decentralized, through state cluster focal points and national counterparts. Several clusters have designed specific activities to strengthen the capacity of local partners to conduct needs assessments, improve data collection and report on responses.

improve links with development Monitoring the humanitarian context and implementing humani-tarian activities will inform the strategic direction of the response in the coming three years, recognizing the need to build resilience and capacities of local actors. OCHA and clusters will increase their efforts to collaborate and better align with development frameworks and national priorities, to better assess the contribu-tion and complementarity of humanitarian action with wider devel-opment goals and strategies.

To ensure that programmes which provide emergency shel-ter and essential household items are appropriate to the needs at hand, the Shelter and NFI Cluster expanded post-distribution monitoring in 2012 and 2013. A direct result was a change in the items included in the standard NFI kit for South Sudan. In interviews with families in emergency areas, it became clear that the “kanga” - a simple piece of cloth used as clothing, baby swaddling, or sanitary use was a particularly useful item for people struggling to cope without their personal belongings. Since 2013, the kanga has been part of the standard kit, delivered to hundreds of thousands of people struck by crisis. Working closely with communities and protection partners, the cluster has also begun to include items such as solar powered lamps where appropriate to mitigate the risk of women and girls falling victim to violence.

Post-distribution monitoring is also helping the cluster develop strategies for providing more targeted and appro-priate shelter solutions to different groups. Returnees who have arrived at their final destinations, in particular, need more durable solutions than the basic emergency shelter kits currently provided by the cluster.

To secure the quality of post-distribution monitoring, one of the cluster’s priorities in 2014 is to train national NGOs and state institutions at local level how to gather information from assisted communities after the response. Eleven train-ings are planned for the year.

needs analysis The humanitarian operation in South Sudan is one of the largest in the world, with multiple crises affecting vulnerable communi-ties in all ten states. To ensure that humanitarian action is able to effectively help people in need, robust and inclusive coordina-tion mechanisms are needed at national and state level to ensure emergency preparedness and response, information analysis and dissemination, monitoring and advocacy on access, resource mobilization and pooled funding disbursement, and other support to over 300 aid organizations providing emergency assistance.

In 2014, some 4.4 million people are identified as needing assis-tance, of whom partners in the CAP are targeting 3.1 million people. A challenging security environment for aid workers impacts the ability of aid workers to reach the most vulnerable, particularly in states affected by violence such as Jonglei. Humanitarian actors in South Sudan often face constraints on their ability to operate freely and access communities in need. Between January and September 2013, 218 access incidents were recorded, compared to 141 in the same period in 2012. Furthermore, state capacity to provide basic services and respond to emergencies is challenged, and capacity building support to key national counterparts such as the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission is a priority.

Humanitarian action needs to be supported by predictable and timely funding at a level which allows partners to respond. The Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF) for South Sudan remains the key mechanism for providing flexible, rapid in-country pooled funding. The fund disbursed $118 million in 2012 and around $90 million in 2013. Though the number of national NGOs receiving CHF funds rose from 13 in 2012 to 19 in 2013, there is still a clear need to build capacity in the areas of fiscal and project planning, to increase national NGOs' effectiveness and ability to access pooled funding.

The key needs identified above are expected to remain throughout 2014-2016. Changes in the situation may warrant corresponding changes in the coordination architecture supporting the response. For example, clusters may be activated or deactivated, and the role of state institutions and development partners in coor-dination and service provision is expected to increase if fiscal stability allows line ministries to take over work currently done by aid organizations.

Contributions to strategic objectives The overarching aim of the cluster is to mobilize and coordinate appropriate, principled and timely humanitarian assistance in response to assessed needs in collaboration with all stakeholders. In doing so, it will contribute to all three strategic objectives in the Strategic Response Plan. Its specific objectives are to:

1. Strengthen coordination to support delivery of humanitarian

aid;

2. Support contingency planning, preparedness and response;

and

3. Facilitate safe, secure and timely access to people in need.

To achieve these objectives, the priority activities for the cluster

are to:

y Ensure robust and strategic coordination through the humani-

tarian architecture of the HCT, ISWG and clusters. Coordina-

tion with, and capacity building for, national counterparts will

be strengthened to ensure alignment with national emergency

response planning mechanisms and to increase the ability of

national institutions to respond to emergencies. The national

and international NGO fora are key constituents of the coordi-nation architecture and support to national NGOs is essential as a way to ensure longer term continuity of action. The pres-ence of coordination hubs at state and deep-field level will be regularly reviewed to ensure appropriate support to partners.

y Provide reliable information and analysis on trends relating to humanitarian assistance, including dissemination of lessons learned, to allow the humanitarian community to monitor and report on key indicators. The cluster will strengthen tracking of internal displacement in 2014-2016.

y Strengthen emergency preparedness and response by providing analysis and reporting on the humanitarian situation. This includes lessons learned from the rainy season response in 2012 and 2013. The CCS Cluster will facilitate national and state-specific contingency planning, inter-agency rapid needs assessments (IRNA), needs analysis and response. The need to mainstream gender, environment, HIV/AIDS in emergencies and to build conflict sensitive approaches into humanitarian action will be advocated for by the cluster. Technical support will be provided to national NGOs and key state institutions to build their capacity and involvement in the humanitarian response, and training on the IRNA tool will target all humanitarian part-ners. Support to RRC and relevant line ministries in the devel-opment of a national disaster risk reduction and preparedness strategy, including flood mitigation will be provided.

y Coordinate humanitarian financing. The CHF will ensure that pooled funding is directed towards priority needs in a timely manner and that coordination is strengthened by supporting projects which contribute to agreed objectives and strate-

gies. The cluster will help mobilize resources for the CAP, including more equitable funding support across the various clusters. It will also advocate timely contributions to the CAP and the CHF to support pre-positioning supplies in line with seasonal requirements.

y Facilitate access for humanitarian partners. Building on prog-ress achieved in 2013, when the cluster helped aid agencies reach tens of thousands of violence-affected people in Jonglei, the cluster will continue to negotiate humanitarian access with state institutions and non-state armed actors. A strong evidence base will underpin advocacy with relevant national authorities - particularly important in light of the number of incidents relating to interference in humanitarian action. OCHA and the NGO Forum monitor access constraints, whether regarding regula-tory frameworks or direct harassment, and other impediments to humanitarian action. The UN Department of Safety and Security will continue to contribute to an enabling operating environment.

links with other organizations and institutionsIn its role in supporting the overall humanitarian architecture, the Coordination and Common Services Cluster is linked to all clus-ters, and its key activities contribute to an enabling environment for partners. Strengthening the links with national counterparts, in particular the Ministry of Gender, Child, Social Welfare, Humani-tarian Affairs and Disaster Management, and the RRC, is a top priority in 2014-2016. In particular, ensuring greater dialogue and inclusion of relevant state institutions in planning processes is key.

needs analysis South Sudan ranks at the bottom of global education indicators. Only 44 per cent of children are enrolled in primary school and only 1.6 per cent attend secondary school. One consequence of the weak education system is that only 27 per cent of adults in South Sudan can read and write.15 Teacher capacity is also excep-tionally low; only 2.7 per cent of South Sudan’s 28,000 primary school teachers have a tertiary qualification.16 On average, South Sudanese schools have a ratio of 198 pupils for every teacher, and the situation is significantly worse in emergency-prone areas.17 Though increasing, state resources allocated to educa-tion are insufficient to meet the needs for infrastructure, salaries and administration in schools throughout the country.

Conflict, natural disasters and displacement compound South Sudan’s education challenges, causing disruptions in schooling, damaging school infrastructure, and exposing children and youth to serious protection risks. Some 255,000 school-aged children were affected by emergencies in 2013.

Girls and boys face different barriers to accessing education and flourishing in temporary learning spaces. Whereas early marriage is the greatest barrier to girls’ education, cattle herding forms the main obstacle for boys to completing their education.

Internally displaced children are particularly vulnerable to protection risks, including recruitment by armed groups, sexual exploitation and abuse, and physical violence. The disruption to community and family structures caused by displacement compounds these risks. These children are also more likely to have experienced a recent traumatic event. Close collaboration with protection actors, and the provision of life-saving messages, psychosocial support and life skills are particularly important for this group, as are catch-up classes to prevent children from dropping out of education.

Many returnees arrive to find school conducted in a different language and curriculum - and to a lower standard - to that which they left behind in Sudan. Stranded returnees are a particu-

larly vulnerable group, who require similar support to internally displaced communities. Host communities, on the other hand, are more likely to have educational structures and resources in place. However, these can be strained by the arrival of displaced people and returnees. They are also vulnerable to natural disasters, cattle

raiding and armed hostilities. In host communities, the priority is to alleviate the strain on educational infrastructure during an influx of emergency-affected people, provide peace education, and strengthen resilience, disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness.

people targeted The cluster estimates that up to 310,000 boys and girls (including pre-school children), women and men in emergency-affected areas will need emergency education services in 2014. This number is estimated to drop slightly in 2015 to 305,000, if the situation continues to stabilize. Of those in need, the cluster will target up to 217,000 people in 2014 and up to 214,000 in 2015.

geographic coverage The cluster has applied a vulnerability index to estimate which counties are likely to require emergency assistance. The map below shows the vulnerability status of each county, and part-ners will prioritize counties with a vulnerability ranking of high or extreme in 2014-2016. Less highly ranked counties may also be prioritized where pressing needs emerge.

Contributions to strategic objectives The cluster aims to protect and nurture the physical, cognitive and psychosocial wellbeing and resilience of children and youth by providing access to safe, inclusive, protective and quality educa-tion, including life skills, psychosocial support and recreation in areas affected by or highly vulnerable to emergencies. The cluster

response plan will contribute to all three strategic objectives of the Strategic Response Plan. Working with children, including of pre-school age, youth and communities in areas affected by or highly vulnerable to emergencies, the cluster’s specific objectives are to:

1. Establish or rehabilitate inclusive, safe and protective learning spaces for children and youth affected by or highly vulnerable to emergencies, in partnership with communities and local authorities. Cluster partners (including State Ministries and County Departments of Education) will establish emergency learning spaces. Project planning, implementation and moni-toring will actively involve communities to promote conflict-sensitive approaches, sustainability and accountability to affected people.

2. Provide children and youth with basic supplies necessary for safe, inclusive, protective and quality education, including life skills, psychosocial support and recreation. Emergency teaching and learning materials will be pre-positioned with partners (including State Ministries and County Departments of Education) in areas affected by or highly vulnerable to emergencies. The following emergency teaching and learning materials will be provided: School in a Box; recreation kits; early childhood development kits; blackboards; and psychosocial support and life-skills materials.

3. Provide children, youth and communities with psychosocial support, life skills and life-saving messages. Education actors (e.g. teachers, PTA and SMC members, volunteers, educa-tion officials) will be trained on life skills and psychosocial support using a set of materials contextualized to South Sudan, purpose-developed for the Education Cluster. Partners will conduct awareness-raising activities on key issues concerning education in emergencies and life skills/life-saving messages including WASH, child protection, girls’ education, education of children with disabilities, gender-based violence, early marriage, HIV and the environment.

4. Build capacity of local actors - men and women - and systems to engage in education continuity planning, child-centered disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness. Training will be targeted largely at education actors representing local communities and institutions. In collaboration with the Child Protection Sub-Cluster, the Education Cluster will continue to monitor for, and advocate with, national counterparts against occupation of schools by armed actors.

education in south sudan



To address these objectives, key activities will include:

y Providing frontline services by setting up and rehabilitating emergency learning spaces, providing emergency education supplies and training education personnel on life skills and psychosocial support;

y Improving child-centered disaster risk reduction and emer-gency preparedness, in particular at the school level, by ensuring that education actors are able to identify and manage risks in the school environment;

y Advocating the vacation of occupied schools by armed forces/groups, internally displaced people, returnees and refugees; and

y Managing information, monitoring and reporting to ensure that the impact of emergencies on education and response activi-ties are adequately recorded.

While the response in 2014 will focus on providing emergency education services and supplies, including capacity building for education personnel, the strategy will over the 2014-2016 period increasingly focus on enhancing preparedness and building resilience of individuals, communities and institutions. Education needs will be framed within International Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE) Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies and Early Recovery and addressed in line with the Government's General Education Strategic Plan 2013–2017.

The cluster anticipates that over the course of 2014-2016 acute emergency needs will stabilize (with the exception of Jonglei State), allowing the cluster to begin incorporating activities that build resilience. This will include: a shift from providing temporary learning spaces to repairing schools and constructing semi-permanent classes where school buildings have been destroyed or are overcrowded; support to teacher training; peace educa-tion; provision of early childhood development and alternative education; youth and adult education; and vocational training.

The prioritization of needs by the Education Cluster over the three year period is summarized in the table, with 1 the highest priority.

links with other organizations and institutionsThe Education Cluster response plan is aligned with the 2013-2017 strategic plan of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, ensuring links with national priorities and activities. The cluster strategy will also be harmonized with the Education Donor Working Group and Education Sector Working Group under the National Education Forum,18 to prioritize and integrate educa-tion in emergencies and early recovery into the strategic plans of these groups. Coordination and collaboration with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission and State Ministries of Education will be strengthened to advocate the inclusion of education in their disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness planning.

Education partners will work closely with NGOs and UN agencies to enhance the quality of school rehabilitation and construction of semi-permanent classrooms, so that the concepts of child-friendly schools and “building back better” are adopted and resilience in education enhanced. Water, sanitation and hygiene services in schools will be coordinated with the WASH Cluster. Partners will also work closely with the Child Protection Sub-Cluster to ensure that child-friendly spaces and emergency learning spaces complement each other, and to monitor and advocate the vaca-tion of schools occupied by armed actors. Coordination with the Mine Action Sub-Cluster will focus on including emergency-affected learners in mine risk education activities.

needs analysis The public telecommunications infrastructure in South Sudan remains weak and it is unlikely that there will be any significant improvement in the public infrastructure in 2014-2016. The country continues to be one of the most expensive nations in Africa for internet use: the average retail price of internet bandwidth via satellite is currently around $8,000 per megabit per second, while the same use in Nairobi, Kenya costs less than $100. Although the Government plans to cut this cost by reducing reliance on satellite bandwidth and instead connecting to the submarine cable system with fibre-optic, there is no indication as to when this will start. Establishing the link to Juba alone is likely to take at least two years.

The National Telecommunications Bill enacted in 2012 has yet to be implemented and the humanitarian community is often faced with arbitrarily high fees for using telecommunication equipment. Thousands of aid workers providing assistance in the field often lack telecommunications tools to coordinate their activities and ensure the safety of their personnel. They often work without basic security telecommunications infrastructure, such as mobile phone networks.

The present capacity of the cluster is insufficient to meet the overall needs for emergency response. There are often more than three emergencies in the country that require assistance, and kits are required to be in place for more than six months, making it difficult to serve other crises. For this reason, the cluster’s target is to obtain four additional rapid deployment kits. By the end of 2014, it aims to have all kits powered by a solar or hybrid solution to ensure rapid response.

The number of women in ICT humanitarian roles in South Sudan is extremely low, as reflected in working groups and in specialized trainings (less than 3 per cent in 2013).

The cluster has identified the following priority needs to be addressed in 2014-2016:

1. Data connectivity

2. Power solutions for emergency response

3. Security telecommunications and migration to digital technology

4. Training for ICT professionals and national counterparts

Emergency telecommunications needs are expected to remain stable in 2014-2015. If a fiber optics link reaches Juba and some state capitals in 2016, it would greatly improve the ICT infrastruc-ture and reduce the need for emergency solutions. Connectivity in deep field locations, however, is not expected to improve over the next three years.

supported organizations As a service-provider, the Emergency Telecommunications Cluster will actively engage with all humanitarian partners providing assistance to vulnerable communities in priority states. In 2014, the cluster aims to support 162 UN agencies and NGOs. That number is expected to increase in 2015-2016 based on a likely growth in the number of national NGOs needing support.

geographic coverage Over the next three years, the cluster will establish basic ICT infrastructure in the ten state capitals and in four deep field hubs, targeting areas that have been prioritized due to ongoing or emerging crises.

Contributions to strategic objectives To help the humanitarian community minimize risks and imple-ment an effective emergency response, the overall objective for the cluster will be to provide security telecommunications and data connectivity to humanitarian partners, by providing radio communications independent from public infrastructure in the eleven common operational areas, which are the ten state capi-

tals and Abyei. The cluster will also be prepared to respond to emergencies by establishing telecommunications infrastructure and services for a limited period of time in seven sites, with contingency stocks in these sites at all times for responding to two emergencies.

The cluster contributes to Strategic Objectives 1 and 3 in the Strategic response Plan. Its specific objectives are to:

1. Maintain and upgrade frontline services to humanitarian part-ners responding to emergencies by providing radio communi-cations independent from public infrastructure, with coverage in the 11 common operational areas

2. Prepare to respond to breaking emergencies by establishing telecommunications infrastructure and services in new sites as needed

3. Provide standardized ICT platforms, training and procedures to avoid duplication and ensure cost-effective services

4. Maintain reliable data and voice connectivity to humanitarian organizations in key operational hubs for enhanced coordina-tion and implementation of emergency response

To address these priorities, the cluster will increase its capacity to implement data connectivity and basic security telecommunica-tions in seven emergencies locations. The increase in capacity is needed as limiting responses to 3-6 months is unrealistic in the South Sudan context. Extra kits are also required to address the targeted 80 per cent of all emergencies. The cluster plans to power all quick deployment data kits with solar or hybrid power systems.

The eleven common operation areas will be provided with 24/7 security telecommunication coverage, and the cluster will migrate to digital technology in five key states capitals to further enhance security telecommunications. In addition, it will create five remote radio rooms, linked to the digital radio rooms, permitting a 24/7 monitoring in deep field locations.

To avoid duplication and ensure cost-effective services, ICT platforms will be standardized, with the cluster providing training and procedures. Reliable data connectivity to aid organizations will be expanded to three additional locations.

The cluster’s focus and coverage will remain the same over the next three years, in line with the needs and priorities of the humanitarian community. Targets will be maintained year on year, unless there are significant changes in the context. In 2015, the cluster will migrate the remaining six common operational areas to digital technology. Once that is done, it is envisaged that no more emergency kits will be required.

links with other organizations and institutions The cluster aligns with the national strategy for telecommunica-tions services. The engagement with the Ministry of Telecommu-nications and Postal Services includes capacity building training, for which 10 per cent of seats are reserved for Ministry staff. As a service-based cluster, ETC will continue to actively engage with all cluster partners to be able to provide guidance and services to ensure aid organizations can mount a coordinated and efficient response to emergencies.

needs analysis Despite the country’s agricultural potential, an estimated 4.4 million23 people in South Sudan will be at risk of food insecurity in 2014. Across the country, less than 10 per cent of arable land is currently being cultivated, and the productivity of the land is low compared to other countries in the region.

Food access, availability and use are threatened by several shocks. Food access is threatened by weak purchasing power, a poorly developed private sector, and agriculture and food commodity markets affected by periodic closures of the border between South Sudan and Sudan. Food availability, in particular, is threatened by low production and productivity, crop pests and emerging crop diseases, livestock disease outbreaks, loss of harvests and limited capacity to process commodities and add value to production. Compounding the lack of food is violence-related displacement. Recurring violence in some parts of South Sudan leads to displacement which disrupts household mobility, economic strategies and livelihood activities, and erodes the ability of households and communities to anticipate, withstand, adapt to and recover from stresses and shocks.

Although food security showed signs of improving in 2013 - with severe food insecurity dropping from 14 per cent in June 2012 to 8 per cent in June 2013, and moderate food insecurity drop-ping from 36 per cent in June 2012 to 34 per cent in June 201324

- the situation remains unstable, and households which depend on buying food to sustain themselves will remain vulnerable to hunger and seasonal swings in their nutritional status.

people affected and targeted The cluster estimates that about 4.4 million people are at risk of food insecurity in 2014. Of these, the cluster will target 2.3 million people with food and livelihoods assistance. This includes people internally displaced due to violence, returnees, refugees, flood-impacted people and other food insecure communities.

Food assistance activities will aim to save the lives of groups at high risk of food insecurity, including refugees, socially vulnerable

and food-insecure residents and displaced persons. It will also aim to stabilize the food security and nutrition status of returnees, people living with HIV, and tuberculosis patients. This will ensure adequate household food consumption during emergencies and capacity to respond to shocks among i) communities facing severe food insecurity based on their inability to engage in liveli-hood activities due to extremely high social vulnerability and ii) moderately food insecure households at risk of severe food inse-curity. As part of emergency and shocks responses, provision of livelihood resources is geared towards supporting those affected by shocks to allow them to re-enter production and protect their assets, e.g. livestock.

Given the slight improvement in the food security situation in 2013 compared to 2012, efforts will be made to enhance resilience by ensuring a combination of responses to targeted households. The implementation of resilience-enhancing activities will be tailored

to geographic location, livelihoods systems, institutional context and implementing partners’ capacity. Food assistance and liveli-hoods programmes will be provided to help create community livelihood assets to enhance access and availability of food and essential social services. Asset creation supported by food, cash and/or voucher transfers will focus on: i) developing or restoring the productive capacity of arable land; ii) natural resource management and climate change adaptation; iii) rehabilitation and construction of community assets; and iv) enhancing human capacity and skills.

These programmes will specifically be geared towards viable but vulnerable food insecure households,25 including:

y Those at risk of poor food consumption and use;

y Those at risk of losing production and productive assets;

y Households with poor access to food sources; and

y Communities which have minimal resilience and are prone to repeated shocks.

Food security and livelihoods responses will take into consid-eration the levels of vulnerability, gender dimensions of vulner-ability, and the nature and seasonality of the shocks.

geographic coverageThe cluster uses the FAO/WFP Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission reports, the Annual Needs and Livelihoods Assessment exercises, and the Integrated Phase Classification analysis to determine priority areas requiring food and livelihoods assistance.

Contributions to strategic objectives The FSL Cluster’s overarching priorities for 2014-2016 will be to enhance access to food and livelihoods resources, to respond to shocks, protect and diversify livelihoods and strengthen coordi-nation by enhancing the capacity for partners and national institu-tions in early warning, preparedness, assessment, situation anal-ysis, response planning and monitoring. The overall objective for 2014-2016 will be to attain food secure households and commu-nities resilient to shocks. The cluster response plan contributes to all three strategic objectives in the Strategic Response Plan.

The cluster’s specific objectives are to:

1. Enhance access to food and livelihoods resources among people impacted by shocks. The cluster strategy will focus on ensuring that efficient responses are set up to ensure food needs are covered and livelihood resources are made avail-able to respond to humanitarian needs and shocks. Food assis-tance will aim to save the lives of groups at high risk, including refugees, socially vulnerable and food-insecure residents and displaced people, and stabilizing the food security and nutri-tion status of returnees and people with HIV or tuberculosis. This will ensure adequate household food consumption during emergencies. Emergency provision of livelihood resources is geared towards supporting those affected by shocks to re-enter production and protect their assets (e.g. livestock).

2. Increase food availability for at-risk groups by protecting and diversifying livelihood systems, strategies and assets. Given the different nature of threats that could affect people at risk

of food insecurity, the cluster will work to protect and diversify livelihoods to enhance people’s ability to withstand shocks or adopt new strategies in the face of crises. In line with the aim of enhancing the resilience of communities and households, food assistance and livelihoods support will be provided to help create community livelihood assets which enhance access and availability to food and essential social services.

3. Strengthen coordination, preparedness and response services, monitoring and the capacity to identify risks. The cluster will support national actors and systems by building capacity for coordination and information management, including providing support to national systems for analyzing vulnerability to food insecurity, providing early warning, ensuring preparedness and monitoring food security across the country.

Priority actions in 2014 include:

y Providing food assistance and emergency livelihood resources, conditional and unconditional cash transfers to food insecure households, and emergency animal treatments and vaccina-tions, including strategic restocking;

y Providing production inputs, promoting skills development, supporting markets/value chain, creating and protecting community assets, providing veterinary services and restocking with the aim of increasing resilience;

y Creating and protecting livelihood assets to enhance access and availability of food and essential social services;

y Building capacity among partners and state institutions for technical support, coordination and information management, and disaster risk reduction;

y Maintaining a monitoring system capable of tracking imple-mentation of activities, with data disaggregated by gender, location and type of response for gap analysis; and

y Collecting and analyzing gender-disaggregated information on agriculture, livestock and fisheries, markets and food consump-tion to understand vulnerability and support response planning

The response strategies of food security and livelihoods partners in 2014-2016 will seek to engender food secure households with resilient livelihoods in several different ways. These include:

y Enhancing food access through food assistance and distribu-tion of livelihood resources;

y Linking private sector resources and actors to humanitarian action; and

y Improving partners’ and state institutions' needs analysis skills.

The Integrated Phase Classification analysis will be the basis of a multi-sector risk analysis and monitoring tool, which will guide responses throughout the year. Quarterly situation analysis and projections will be done to monitor risks and vulnerability to food insecurity, analyze the response, and make appropriate adjust-ments to response strategies.

links with other organizations and institutions Inter-cluster coordination is a key factor for the implementation of the cluster strategy for 2014-2016. Collaboration with the Educa-tion, Health, Nutrition, Protection and WASH clusters will be strengthened to find innovative ways of tackling food insecurity.

The FSL Cluster collaborates with several state entities to coordi-nate and implement food security responses. The work with the Relief and Rehabilitation Commission focuses on needs assess-ments of the food security situation in places where displace-ment, violence or natural disasters have occurred.

Collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Tourism Animal Resources, Fisheries, Cooperatives and Rural Develop-ment relates to planning and implementing livestock interven-tions to control and manage disease, including procurement and provision of vaccines, planning the vaccination calendar, building capacity and strengthening infrastructure for provision of basic livestock services, and maintaining a surveillance system for live-stock diseases. The cluster also collaborates with the Ministry on issues relating to availing quality seeds for emergency response, generating seed standards, pest and disease control, putting in place agricultural information systems, promoting climate smart agriculture, and building national capacity. There is also collaboration on needs assessments. The cluster works with key ministries on vulnerability analysis and food security monitoring, through the Food Security Technical Secretariat. This collabora-tion is geared towards enhancing national capacity to conduct food security analysis. There are plans to forge links with the newly formed Food Security Council on technical and information sharing aspects.

At the state level, key ministries have spearheaded monthly food security fora, where issues related to food security and liveli-hoods in the states are addressed. These fora are important for effective coordination at the state level.

needs analysis Low health care coverage, particularly of essential primary health services, is a major concern in South Sudan. Only 44 per cent of the population is able to access a health facility within a 5 kilometre radius,26 with significant disparity between urban and rural areas and between different geographical areas. Of 1,147 functional healthcare facilities, it is estimated that 800 primary healthcare units and centres and 14 hospitals are supported by humani-tarian partners.27 There are 22 health facilities with capacity to perform major surgery, including the 14 hospitals supported by humanitarian organizations.28

The low baseline of healthcare is compounded by violence and displacement in some areas and poor road networks throughout the country that prevent people from accessing already limited health services. Displaced populations are at a higher risk of contracting communicable diseases due to poor sanitation, shortage of water, crowdedness and poor immunity.

Infant and under-five mortality rates are high - 75 and 105 per 1,000 live births respectively.29 Children under 5 years of age are prone to die of common but preventable diseases, such as malaria, acute respiratory infections and diarrhoeal diseases. There are also significant gaps in immunization, with on average only 13.8 per cent of children under one year having received DPT3.30

Outbreaks of communicable diseases also remain a challenge throughout the country, although systems to control and respond to outbreaks have been significantly strengthened at all levels in recent years. Since January, outbreaks of measles, menin-gitis, anthrax, and hepatitis were officially declared, with 12 new outbreaks and two existing outbreaks recorded. Forty-one coun-ties have been affected by communicable disease outbreaks between January and October 2013. In 2012 and 2011, 34 and 30 counties respectively were affected by outbreaks over the same period. Humanitarian partners have assisted in responding to specific disease outbreaks as well as supporting routine Expanded Programme for Immunization as the Ministry of Health's capacity is still too limited to reach all targeted children.

The lack of reproductive health services, combined with the prevalence of early pregnancies and a weak referral system, puts pregnant mothers at great risk. Only 0.5 per cent of health facili-ties in the country offer comprehensive emergency obstetrical and neonatal care. Only 14.7 per cent of all births are attended by a skilled birth attendant.31

More generally, referral systems are weak in most parts of the country due to the poor road network, insufficient ambulance services, lack of means of communication, insufficient human

resources and poorly functioning facilities. Sub-standard phar-maceuticals and drug supply chain management also have a negative impact on the delivery of health services to communi-ties, with frequent stock-ruptures.

The prevalence of HIV among adults (15-49 years) is 2.7 per cent, with wide geographic variations.32 The epidemic is highest in Juba and in Western Equatoria State, along the border with DRC and Uganda. It is lowest in the north-western parts of the country. The response is still very low across all key service areas, especially in emergency-affected areas.

Gender issues, in particular violence against women, continue to adversely affect vulnerable communities and are a major public health problem. Young women are particularly disadvantaged, with a reported increase in cases of sexual and gender-based violence and early pregnancies. Cases of violence targeting

women and girls are often poorly documented, with weak referral pathways to vital services for victims.

Although primary healthcare services are increasingly decentral-ized and managed at state level, humanitarian partners have an important role in supporting and facilitating improved access to services. Until the process is finalized and primary and secondary health care needs are sufficiently met, health service delivery through humanitarian organizations is vital, particularly in areas of greatest needs.

people affected and targeted The cluster estimates 3.9 million people will need emergency health services in 2014. Of these, up to 2 million people in priority states and counties will be targeted by cluster partners. It is estimated that there will be about 1.5 consultations per person per year for the whole population and twice that for children under five years of age.

geographic coveragePrioritized geographical areas include those prone to outbreaks and locations likely to be affected by violence, floods and displace-ment. Central, Eastern and Western Equatoria states - that have continued to witness disease outbreaks in some counties - will be targeted by the cluster with capacity-building interventions to be able to manage outbreaks.

Contributions to strategic objectives The overarching objective of the Health Cluster in 2014-2016 is to contribute to a reduction of morbidity and mortality among vulnerable communities in South Sudan. The cluster response plan contributes to all three strategic objectives of the Strategic Response Plan. Its specific objectives are to:

1. Provide emergency primary health care services for vulnerable people with limited or no access to health services;

2. Strengthen emergency preparedness and capacity to respond to urgent health needs, including surgical interventions; and

3. Respond to health-related emergencies, including controlling the spread of communicable diseases.

Cluster partners will focus on expanding and improving the current health coverage, with a particular focus on reaching under-served areas and vulnerable communities. The work to strengthen primary healthcare, control communicable diseases, provide emergency obstetrical care, strengthen referral systems, and build overall capacity in the health system, will subsequently dovetail into early recovery and development programmes to expand basic services delivery. As the Ministry of Health builds its capacity over the years, more responsibility for some service areas will fall to state institutions.

Priority actions include:

y Providing basic equipment, drugs and other medical supplies;

y Providing essential reagents, rapid test kits and diagnostic tools to health facilities;

y Strengthening risk reduction, emergency preparedness, response capacity and early detection of outbreaks by improving reporting chains and enhancing integrated disease surveillance systems and the early warning and response network (EWARN);

y Strengthening prevention mechanisms by expanding immuni-zations via fixed and mobile health clinics targeting returnees, displaced people, and other vulnerable groups;

y Maintaining surge capacity to respond to acute emergencies and managing traumas;

y Providing reproductive health services through Minimum Initial Service Package (MISP), Emergency Obstetrical Care (EmOC), adolescent health services and procurement and pre-posi-tioning of reproductive health commodities;

y Improving the prevention and treatment of HIV and sexually transmitted infections and the clinical management of sexual and gender-based violence;

y Strengthening the referral system by building capacity to iden-tify and refer emergency cases promptly at all levels and by providing logistical support;

y Building capacity in state health departments and local health structures, including a complete mapping of existing services, including both health workers and facilities; and

y Strengthening education on and participation in health-related issues including disaster management and communicable disease control, and disease prevention in complex emergencies.

These priority activities will likely remain the same throughout 2014-2016. With the rollout of other funding mechanisms supporting health facilities and human resource capacities during this period, there may be some improvement in the management of health infor-mation systems and drug supply chains by 2016. Needs may also change depending on the success of the county-based approach for primary healthcare and the ability of state institutions to take on basic health service delivery. As a measure to build communities’ resilience in relation to health, partners may take on more capacity building activities for communities that aim to strengthen the ability to address most common causes of morbidity.

Over the next three years, some areas may benefit from support from the Ministry of Health’s efforts to strengthen national health systems, as articulated in the 2012-2015 Health Sector Develop-ment Plan. Such support would likely include human resource development, infrastructure, drug supply chain management, the Health Management Information System and HIV programming.

links with other organizations and institutionsThe cluster will work closely with the Nutrition Cluster to ensure prompt medical management of severely malnourished people and adequate vaccination at nutrition facilities. Partners will encourage routine health screenings and referral of malnourished people. The cluster will also collaborate with the WASH Cluster to improve coverage of water, sanitation and hygiene services to crisis-affected or under-served communities, to prevent the spread of disease. Gender-based violence (GBV) issues will be addressed in partnership and consultation with the GBV Sub-Cluster, devising appropriate referral pathways for GBV survivors. Collaboration with education partners will focus on vaccination and de-worming of school-age children, and awareness-raising around HIV and other health issues.

The Health Cluster will work in line with the Ministry of Health’s guidelines and protocols and help revise those guidelines where required. The cluster will ensure that its members link their work to the county-based approach to primary health care delivery funded by development partners. Finding synergies with devel-opment programmes will help channel resources to areas where they are most needed. Areas where cluster partners can comple-ment the county-based approach will include health facilities not covered by the NGOs selected by development donors as “lead agencies” at the county level and humanitarian needs that cannot be adequately covered by these NGOs. Non-CAP organi-zations like ICRC and MSF will continue to provide the core surge capacity in times of need.

needs analysis South Sudan is one of the most challenging and costly operating environments in the world. Large quantities of humanitarian aid must be moved over vast distances, in areas with extremely limited infrastructure and low supply of commercial transport assets.

The road network is one of the least developed in the world with only 90,200 kilometres of roads, of which only 300 km are sealed tarmac roads. The rest of the national, interstate and urban network consists of badly or unmaintained dirt roads. As a result, around 60 per cent of the country is cut off for road travel during the rainy season. River travel is also hampered by a lack of transport assets, made worse by competition with commercial actors for the limited number of barges available. The already challenging environment is worsened by insecurity. Even when roads are passable in the dry season, violence often limits partners’ ability to reach communities in need.

The Government has identified road construction and upgrading as a key priority and is expected to improve infrastructure throughout 2014-2016. However, in light of the austerity measures in place in 2012 and 2013, development of infrastructure is expected to be slow.

With regards warehousing, the supply of adequate commercial options is limited or non-existent in wide parts of the country. Ensuring that large amounts of valuable humanitarian supplies are safe and available when needed during an emergency is difficult due to significant security concerns.

The coming three years will see some changes in needs. Due to the increase in commercial availability of transporters along main routes, there will likely no longer be a need to provide augmented free-to-user logistics capacity from Juba to state capitals. However, the Logistics Cluster will continue to support humanitarian partners with transport alternatives and solutions to logistics bottlenecks. As South Sudan transitions into a more stable humanitarian environment, free-to-user services for main transport routes will be phased out and replaced with an

enhanced service portfolio, available to the humanitarian commu-nity on a cost-recovery basis. The cluster will also ensure a stand-by capacity to provide free-to-user services in the event of an emergency response. The Logistics Cluster is currently conducting an assessment of common transport in South Sudan which will inform the service provision model moving forward.

Transport of humanitarian cargo and personnel and storage of supplies will continue to be a challenge for the humanitarian community in 2014-2016. The Logistics Cluster will monitor the situation and provide guidance, coordination and services to address some of the infrastructural bottlenecks which impede the humanitarian response.

overview of transport corridors and cluster capabilities

supported organizations As a service-based sector, the Logistics Cluster will provide timely, cost-effective and efficient transport for humanitarian cargo and personnel and other services for humanitarian part-ners. In 2014, the cluster aims to support 250 UN agencies and NGOs. The number of organizations supported is based on the support provided to humanitarian partners in 2013, including UNHAS passenger services.

geographic coverage Priority geographic areas will be determined by the humanitarian community. However, some areas with ongoing humanitarian operations, including Abyei, Jonglei, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile and Warrap states, are likely to remain key response areas for humanitarian aid during 2014-2016. As the refugee operation in Unity and Upper Nile State stabilizes, the cluster’s involvement will decrease significantly in the remainder of 2013 and discontinue in 2014.

Contributions to strategic objectives The cluster’s overarching objective is to provide efficient, cost-effective and timely logistics services to support the delivery of humanitarian assistance. The cluster’s response plan contributes to Strategic Objectives 1 and 3. Key objectives are to:

1. Provide cost-effective transport alternatives for cargo and passengers to humanitarian actors;

2. Provide complimentary logistics services during emergency responses;

3. Provide logistics coordination, support and advisory services to the humanitarian community; and

4. Increase the predictability of access to common humanitarian hubs/areas of operation.

logistics cluster protects staff in needEmergency evacuations in 2012 - 2013


The Logistics Cluster plans to achieve these objectives by: i) offering a range of logistics services to the humanitarian commu-nity on a cost-recovery basis, with the particular aim of improving the pre-positioning of the core pipelines, and ii) at the onset of emergencies, augment logistics capacity as required and offer free-to-user logistics services to enable the humanitarian commu-nity to reach people in need.

In 2014-2016, the Logistics Cluster will continue to provide logistics support to partners through coordination, information management and advisory services. Starting in 2014, logistics services will be provided on a cost-recovery basis, to reflect the change in context from emergency to largely regular humani-tarian programming, which allows for strategic supply chain plan-ning. In emergency situations where clear logistics needs are identified to allow the humanitarian community to mount a rapid response, the cluster will offer logistics services free of charge to users during an initial period. The cluster will work closely with the ISWG, OCHA, Humanitarian Coordinator and donors to ensure appropriateness of activation of free-to-user services, which will require direct donor input.

The Logistics Cluster will continue to ensure and expand physical access to areas of humanitarian operations for aid workers and relief cargo. This will be done by providing regular and safe air passenger services, where no other viable alternatives are available. The cluster will also focus on providing mapping and assessments of infrastructure needs, seeking feedback from the humanitarian community to ensure the continuity of frontline services. The cluster will maintain a standby capacity for quick deployment of teams for spot repairs and other infrastructure works, including airstrips and helipad facilities.

In planning its work, the cluster works actively with infrastruc-ture partners and state institutions to coordinate infrastructure project planning to ensure access and avoid duplication. Regular information products and logistics updates on customs and tax exemptions, road closures and other advisories will be shared with partners.

The cluster’s top strategic priority in 2014 is to restructure the Common Transport System and transition into a cost recovery system - focusing primarily on road and river transport - and to help the humanitarian community efficiently pre-position core pipeline supplies.

In 2015, the service provision will be expanded to include a common warehouse system to streamline prepositioning and sharing of overhead costs in deep field locations. The system should include the establishment of more sustainable options for storage, which could be handed over to state institutions or development partners for long-term solutions to pre-positioning.

By 2016, the new system for service provision should be established and operating on full cost recovery. It should then be separated from the Logistics Cluster as a stand-alone service provider, to allow for continuity after a possible de-activation of the cluster.

links with other organizations and institutions As a service-based sector, the Logistics Cluster will continue to actively engage with all clusters to ensure that humanitarian partners can mount a coordinated and efficient response. This includes supporting clusters in developing a coherent plan for pre-positioning core pipeline items during the dry season to reduce transport costs during the rainy season. The cluster will also consult with relevant development partners and line minis-tries responsible for roads and infrastructure on behalf of the humanitarian community to eliminate any potential overlap in planning and activities.

On behalf of the humanitarian community, the cluster will continue to liaise with relevant state institutions on issues such as tax exemptions and customs clearing. The cluster will also coordi-nate directly with national counterparts at national, state and county levels to increase their awareness of the supply chain and procurement needs of the humanitarian community.

MINE ACTION

needs analysisDecades of war in South Sudan has left a debilitating legacy of landmines and other remnants of war, threatening the security of civilians and aid workers. A Landmine Impact Survey carried out from 2006 to 2009 indicated that landmine and explosive remnants of war (ERW) contamination was present to varying degrees in all ten states in the country, with the greatest degree of contamination in Central, Eastern and Western Equatoria states. According to the Information Management System for Mine Action, 637 known hazards currently exist that require mitigating action, including minefields, hazardous areas and suspected hazardous areas.

Although much has been accomplished by the Mine Action Sub-Cluster in reducing the known threat and impact of land-mines and ERW, surveys continue to reveal large numbers of previously unknown hazardous areas. The continued use of munitions by armed actors operating in Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states has led to new contamination, and loss of lives has imposed an additional threat and access restrictions on humanitarian activities.

In the first nine months of 2013, 34 accidents including 13 fatali-ties were recorded, but due to under-reporting, the true acci-dent figures are expected to be much higher. Almost half of the reported fatalities occurred in Central Equatoria, with Unity and Western Bahr El Ghazal also recording high levels of accidents. In recent years the overall trend shows recorded accidents figures are falling. However, there is still a need to protect those at risk of death or injury caused by ERW, and to provide support to survivors who have sustained grave injuries and who are in need of rehabilitation, psycho-social assistance and socio-economic reinsertion programmes.

Humanitarian organizations frequently operate in areas contami-nated by ERW. There is a continued need for Mine Action to support the wider humanitarian community to provide a safe envi-ronment free from the risk of ERW.

The capacity of national authorities, including the national police and military to coordinate and clear ERW remains low. Often found in remote locations, or hidden and sometimes buried, it is almost inevitable that dangerous items of ERW will be discovered in South Sudan for many decades to come. It is essential that the authorities have the required capacity to manage ERW after international mine action actors have ceased operating. The Mine Action Sub-Cluster is working to address the need to develop the capacity of the national authorities to manage, oversee, clear and survey landmine/ERW contaminated land.

Poor storage and management of serviceable weapons and ammunition belonging to the uniformed services causes a high risk to communities through the risk of explosion of ammunition storage areas, as occurred in Juba in 2005 and 2006 and the proliferation and illegal use of poorly managed weapons. There is a need to build safe armouries and storage areas, and train the uniformed services in weaponry and ammunition storage management.

In the long-term, the number of hazards will decrease as teams continue clearance activities. However, short-term spikes in the number of hazards located are possible, as teams find new potentially dangerous areas as they perform clearance in areas previously not accessed and as communities report newly-found contamination.

This prediction of a long-term reduction of need is predicated on the expectation that, should there be renewed fighting, it would not lead to the laying of mines. Should new mine laying occur, needs may rise significantly in the conflict areas.

The needs for mine risk education (MRE) will reduce as levels of ERW decrease, and mine risk is incorporated within national school curriculum. Further national capacity building, both in clearance and coordination, will help South Sudanese authorities take on more of the responsibilities currently covered by mine action partners. It is likely that this progress will be slow and may not achieve significant results within the next 3 years.

people targeted The risks of mines, ERWs and other weapons differ between groups, based on their distinct roles and responsibilities. Women, girls, boys and men have different mobility patterns and different levels of exposure to risk, decision-making, and access to services, resources and employment. Initiatives to ensure equal participation of all groups include using gender-balanced teams for impact assessments and community liaison, organizing sepa-rate focus groups for male and female participants, and ensuring that women are included in land hand-over procedures.

In 2014-2016 the cluster estimates that some 3.1 million people across the country will be at risk of mines and other weapons and in need of services from the cluster.

geographic coverage The highest level of contamination is in Central Equatoria (with 333 open hazards), followed by Jonglei (107 hazards), Eastern Equatoria (105 hazards) and Western Equatoria (49 hazards).33 While these are the priority areas for mine action, there remains contamination in areas where other humanitarian actors are operating, such as in Upper Nile and Unity. Mine Action partners will continue to provide safe access for other clusters working in these geographical areas.

Contributions to strategic objectives The overarching objective of the cluster is to reduce the threat and impact of landmines, ERW, weapons and ammunition. The cluster contributes to all three strategic objectives of the Strategic Response Plan. The cluster’s specific objectives are to:

1. Facilitate free and safe movement for civilians and humanitarian actors through clearance of landmines and ERWs;

2. Reduce the risk of injury from landmines and ERW, and facilitate the reintegration of landmine survivors and people with disabili-ties through mine risk education and survivor assistance;

3. Strengthen the management and operational capacities of national mine action counterparts to deal with emergency aspects of landmine and ERW contamination;

5. Support national institutions to build systems and mechanisms to manage and deliver effective mine action programmes to manage and store weapons and munitions correctly.


y Opening any closed roads, clearing hazardous areas and ensuring the continued release of land. Mobile explosive ordnance disposal teams will be deployed whenever neces-sary to support humanitarian organizations;

y Deploying demining and mine risk education teams in all states, particularly in areas where there has been recent use of landmines, other explosive remnants of war and reports of mine accident casualties. Mine risk education programmes will include community liaison techniques and teachers trainings. Programmes will focus on displaced people and returnees;

y Focusing survivor assistance activities on community aware-ness, provision of basic rehabilitation services, psychosocial support, income-generating activities and referral systems. The sub-cluster will prioritize states where survivor assistance needs are of highest concern, including Central Equatoria, Jonglei and Unity;

y Continuing to provide technical assistance to state institutions to adopt national legislations, engage in international treaties and ensure implementation of relevant treaties; and

y Provide technical support to national counterparts in improving the storage and management of weapons and munitions.

links with other organizations and institutionsMine action partners work closely with a number of state institu-tions. The National Mine Action Authority is the cluster's principal partner, as the South Sudanese authority responsible for the coordination, oversight and regulation of mine action activi-ties. Partners also work with the Ministry of Child, Gender, Social Welfare, Humanitarian Affairs and Disaster Management on victim assistance and people with disabilities affected by sexplosive remnants of war.

The Ministry of Education is engaged in mine risk education and the Bureau for Community Safety and Small Arms Control works on managing and coordinating physical security and stockpile management. Mine Action partners also work with the South Sudan National Police Service and the national army to build capacity to undertake de-mining and explosive ordnance disposal, and to build national systems, capacity to store and manage weapons safely.

Mine Action partners work closely with the wider humanitarian community to ensure access for aid organizations to ERW-contam-inated land and roads and to the communities under threat.

needs analysisThe refugee situation in South Sudan stabilized in 2013. Between January and October 2013, only about 26,400 new refugees from Sudan’s Blue Nile and South Kordofan states were registered in Unity and Upper Nile states. The slowing pace of new arrivals has allowed the refugee response to begin the transition from emer-gency mode to care and maintenance, with the aim of building the resilience of the refugee population and reducing the environ-mental impact of settlements.

Humanitarian actors engaged in the refugee response made great gains in 2012 and 2013 in establishing and improving access to basic services. Provision of safe drinking water was sustained at about 20 litres per person per day in most of refugee locations starting from the last trimester of 2012, with some seasonal variations observed during 2013 rainy season. Access to water has been substantially improved. In September 2012 one water point was serving on average 250 people - the current ratio is one water point to 110 people.

Sanitation conditions have also improved. Family-shared latrines have substituted emergency communal ones (85 per cent of households have access to a family-shared latrine) ensuring at

the same time the respect of the standard of 20 people per latrine in every refugee site. Despite the hepatitis E outbreak, the crude mortality rate (CMR) and under-5 mortality rate (U5 MR) have been maintained near the normal rate observed in settled popu-lations (less than 0.5 death/10,000/day for CMR and less than 1 death/10,000/day for U5 MR).

At the end of 2012, Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) rates were just below critical thresholds (<15 per cent and <5 per cent respectively). They improved further in 2013, decreasing below UNHCR's thresholds for stable situations (<10 per cent GAM and <2 per cent SAM). Sector trends indicate that the situation is stabilizing, with some fluctua-tions due to camp-specific factors. Nevertheless, services in the areas of water, sanitation and hygiene, health, and nutrition, still need to be maintained and transferred to durable systems, while livelihood, camp management, education and shelter services require further improvement.

The HIV prevalence among refugees is unknown, as no general testing has been available. However, several TB patients have been identified as HIV positive. Capacity-building of health workers, HIV education, prevention of mother-to-child trans-mission and referral for HIV care and treatment are ongoing to address the gap in services among refugees and returnees.

On the protection front, biometric features in refugee registration has been rolled out in all refugee locations. Protection actors have focused on monitoring and advocacy, in particular on maintaining the civilian and humanitarian character of refugee sites.

Two new refugee camps have been opened. In Upper Nile, the Kaya camp now provides safer conditions to some 18,000 refugees previously living in the flood-prone site of Jamam. In Unity, the new Ajuong Thok camp has been established to provide a relatively safe alternative to the Yida settlement for current and new refugees, and to enhance access to education and liveli-hoods services. Significant protection concerns remain, however, for refugees living in Yida and other sites, in particular the pres-ence of armed elements. Another concern is the growing tension between refugee and refugee-impacted host communities over access to services and shared resources.

To ensure a sustainable refugee response, stronger state capacity is needed to deliver basic services for refugees. The Government recently passed the Refugee Act, and multi-sector partners will

focus on strengthening the ability of institutions at the national, state and county levels - in particular the Commission for Refugee Affairs and local governments - to implement the basic policies and legal frameworks now in place.

The number of returnees arriving in South Sudan from Sudan has also gone down in 2013, with just over 84,000 people making the journey between January and October. Multi-sector partners anticipate that the pace of returns will continue to slow in the coming years. However, should a framework agreement between South Sudan and Sudan be signed and implemented, the number of returnees and the number of border points through which they enter into South Sudan could increase.

A priority is to clear and prevent bottlenecks for returnees. In Renk in Upper Nile State, some 11,000 people need either onward transport assistance or help to settle in new areas, including advocacy for land allocation. If the borders between South Sudan and Sudan re-open in 2014, there is potential for bottlenecks in border states such as Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Unity, which may lead to the creation of transit sites and the need for multi-sectoral assistance. In the absence of an activated Camp Coor-dination and Camp Management Cluster, multi-sector partners will ensure coordination with other clusters in order to provide adequate services.

In 2013, over 84,000 returnees arrived at their final destinations within South Sudan. Of these, 6,000 benefited from transport assistance provided by the cluster. As returns continue, it is

important that the capacity of the state to address the needs of returnees and host communities increases, to ensure that return movements are dignified and orderly, and to enable returnees to reintegrate well into new communities.

The tracking and monitoring network implemented by IOM in partnership with RRC covers all ten states. This network must be maintained so that aid programmes are informed by accu-rate data on the returnee population and movement trends. In 2013, as the humanitarian situation deteriorated in Jonglei and people affected by violence in Abyei continued to move, the need to improve existing displacement tracking mechanisms became evident. In 2014, multi-sector partners aim to build and enhance displacement tracking with a specific focus on these two areas.

people affected and targetedThe sector estimates that in 2014, 564,800 refugees, returnees and internally displaced people will need assistance. This will include around 270,000 refugees living in South Sudan and 125,000 people displaced by violence. Because of the difficulties in projecting figures for internal displacement in 2015 and 2016 and Abyei-affected in 2016, these have not been included and will be reviewed at mid-year in 2014 and 2015.

Based on trends in return movements in 2013, the sector estimates that the number of new returnees to South Sudan will reduce gradually from 50,000 in 2014, to 40,000 in 2015 and 32,000 in 2016.

geographic coverageThe tracking and monitoring of displaced people and returnees will be implemented in all ten states, with particular focus on states bordering Sudan. If borders re-open in 2014, these areas have the highest risk of developing bottlenecks as returnees arrive without means to independently travel to where they intend to settle. Abyei affected communities remains mobile and infor-mation on movement patterns is essential to ensuring an efficient and targeted response. The refugee response will continue in Unity and Upper Nile, and in Central and Western Equatoria states.

Contributions to strategic objectives The overarching objectives for multi-sector partners are to enhance national capacities and ensure access to protection and sustainable basic services for refugees; and to contribute to the effective delivery of humanitarian response to vulnerable mobile populations including returnees, internally displaced and Abyei-affected people. The latter will be achieved by providing base-line information on population movements and onward transport assistance to stranded returnees.

The sector response plan contributes to all three objectives in the Strategic Response Plan. The cluster’s specific objectives are to:

1. Maintain and upgrade the provision of basic services for refugees;

2. Ensure that refugees and host communities have access to livelihoods and other self-sustaining activities contributing to resilience;

3. Further develop the capacity of state and non-state actors to uphold human rights;

4. Monitor and ensure that return movements back into South Sudan and into Abyei are voluntary and safe; and

5. Provide in-transit and onward transport assistance to stranded and vulnerable people in South Sudan.

Priority actions in 2014 include:

refugee response

y Maintaining and upgrading basic services while identifying and piloting self-reliance activities, such as kitchen gardens and seed distributions. These will also contribute to an improve-ment in refugees’ nutrition;

y Paying special attention to protection concerns, especially those associated with the non-civilian nature of camps, including forced recruitment, militarization of camps, and SGBV and child protection threats;

y Addressing conflicts between refugee and refugee-impacted communities, with engagement from state institutions and development actors to improve services and dialogue between communities;

y Ensuring a steady supply of basic services and pre-positioning of live-saving items for refugees. As the response enters into a care and maintenance phase, opportunities to increase cost-effectiveness and efficiency through joint planning and coordi-nation will grow; and

y Continuing the ongoing capacity-building of the CRA and local governments with a focus on national ownership and on gradu-ally transferring the leadership of the response to state actors with active engagement in decision-making of key national bodies, developing regulations pertaining to implementation of the Refugee Act, and helping create a favorable environment where refugees can exercise their rights under the provision of the national refugee legislation.

returnee and displacement tracking

y Disseminating information collected by a tracking and moni-toring network and providing onward transport assistance to stranded returnees. This includes establishing transit sites and reception areas where en route assistance can be provided as needed;

y Advocating to development/stabilization partners and national counterparts to incorporate and address the specific needs of returnees in order to allow for a sustainable reintegration into host communities; and

y Tracking and monitoring returnees and other mobile popula-tions. Recent developments in Jonglei and in the Abyei area indicate a high need to track and monitor movements of people affected by violence or other crises. Political developments, such as a possible Abyei referendum have significant impli-cations on the movement patterns and needs of the affected population.


the response in 2015-2016With the protracted war in Sudan’s South Kordofan and Blue Nile states likely to continue, it is too early to either predict large scale returns of refugees or discuss local integration options. Instead, refugees living in South Sudan are likely to enter a protracted displacement scenario. By 2015, protection should be mainstreamed in all basic service delivery and needs analysis, with continued monitoring and reporting on instances of armed elements in refugee sites. By 2016, the aim is for state institutions to take increased leadership over the refugee response, to make it more sustainable.

The focus for the response in 2015 and 2016 will require the rollout and implementation of sustainable and integrated approaches and community-based management across all sectors in all refugee settings. Sustained access to quality educa-tion for refugee children; support to over-age learners; investment in skills and knowledge of refugees and refugee communities; access to livelihoods, including to land for cultivation, sustain-able and durable shelter; and maintaining the access to basic services represent the key areas of work for humanitarian actors.

The number of returnees will probably continue to decrease over the planning period. By the end of 2016, the massive return movement which started in 2007 will likely have ended. The tracking and monitoring network will continue to provide informa-tion to partners, but will reduce in size and narrow its focus to key geographical areas where bottlenecks or large number of returnees may occur. Efforts will continue to clear the bottleneck in Renk while reducing the risk of new bottlenecks. The number of returnees needing onward transport assistance will likely reduce. In 2016, partners expect that there will be no more stranded returnees in South Sudan.

links with other organizations and institutions State actors are at the centre of the refugee strategy to support protection of civilians and a sustainable humanitarian response to people in protected displacement. The establishment of the Commission for Refugee Affairs in 2013 has furthered coordina-tion with other state entities. To address the non-civilian nature of the camps, partners will increase the engagement with state actors, such as the national police and armed forces. Tracking and monitoring activities are conducted in close collaboration with the Government and development actors.

needs analysisVarious forms of under-nutrition have been prevalent among vulnerable groups in South Sudan for many years, including young children and pregnant and lactating women. Several factors contribute to this situation, including seasonal changes in food security and disease burden. Acute malnutrition peaks every year during the pre-harvest lean period (April to June). Overall food insecurity also contributes to poor food consumption and low diet diversity. Poor infant feeding practices contribute significantly to low nutrition - only a little over 45 per cent of children who are younger than six months are exclusively breastfed in South Sudan.39

The nutrition situation is also impacted by recurring bouts of violence in parts of the country, which cause displacement and destroy livelihoods. In other areas, arrivals of refugees and returnees put pressure on communities’ available food leading to inadequate food intake that directly impacts negatively on the nutrition status. Finally, under-nutrition is driven by the high level of disease in the general population and poor water, sanitation and hygiene practices.

While food security improved in some parts of the country in 2013, the results of the majority of pre-harvest nutrition surveys conducted in selected counties between March and June 2013 showed that malnutrition remained high, with global acute malnu-trition surpassing the World Health Organization’s emergency threshold of 15 per cent and severe acute malnutrition ranging from 3 to 7 per cent, often above South Sudan’s Nutrition Cluster emergency threshold of 4 per cent.40 Compared to the previous two years, the situation has remained relatively stable.

Women have greater nutrition needs than men, as their vulnera-bility is heightened during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The role of women in raising children makes them a strategic target for nutrition education on appropriate infant and young child feeding, to prevent malnutrition in children.

Children under 5 years are the most at-risk group for malnutrition. Children are also susceptible to micronutrient deficiency due to poor feeding practices and require micronutrient supplementa-tion. Girls and boys generally have similar needs, although - unlike in most other countries - regular anthropometric surveys in South Sudan have shown higher malnutrition rates among boys than among girls. The causes for this pattern are being investigated.

Cluster snapshot


There is a close link between malnutrition and preventable infectious diseases. These two are the most common causes of morbidity and mortality for children under 5 years,41 and the incidence of one makes a child more vulnerable to the other. People living with HIV and patients with TB are at higher risk of malnutrition. Linking nutrition to HIV and TB treatment is critical for adherence to and effectiveness of treatment. The retrospec-tive morbidity component included in all nutrition surveys has consistently indicated high disease prevalence in most counties targeted by nutrition interventions, in particular malaria, ARI, diarrhea, measles and malnutrition. The Nutrition Cluster will work closely with health partners to address the main illnesses identified within groups vulnerable to malnutrition.

Major donors have excluded nutrition in funding for a basic package of primary healthcare for South Sudan. For instance, the multi-donor Health Pooled Fund does not include most nutrition activities in its funding mechanism, which poses a challenge to integration of nutrition into primary healthcare.

people targeted and affectedIn 2014, the cluster estimates that around 3.2 million people will need nutrition assistance. This is up significantly from 2013, due to the expanded reach of nutrition partners and a better under-standing of the nutrition situation. As nutrition partners gather information in more parts of the country, it is likely that the number of people needing assistance will increase to 3.5 million people in 2015. It is then expected to drop in 2016, due to the expanded coverage of nutrition activities in 2014 and 2015.

Of the people in need, the cluster will target 1.2 million people in 2014. The target is expected to increase in 2015 in line with overall needs, and reduce in 2016 as nutrition interventions scale down.

geographic coverageMalnutrition in South Sudan shows a clear geographical trend, and the cluster will prioritize high risk states, including Jonglei, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile, Warrap and Western Bahr el Ghazal.

Contributions to strategic objectives The overarching objective of the cluster is to contribute to the reduction of malnutrition and related outcome among vulnerable groups by increasing their access to preventive and curative

nutrition interventions. The cluster response plan contributes to all three objectives of the Strategic Response Plan. Specific objec-tives are to:

1. Manage acute malnutrition through integrated and community-based approaches;

2. Prevent acute malnutrition in children, pregnant and lactating women and other vulnerable groups; and

3. Support state and community capacity in emergency prepared-ness and timely response to nutrition crises.

The focus of the nutrition cluster for 2014 will remain treatment of acute malnutrition activities, as in 2013, but also to increase resilience by expanding the scope and scale of preventive inter-ventions. For instance, optimal infant and young child feeding in emergency and chronically vulnerable situations will be promoted. At the same time, micronutrient supplementation among children and pregnant and lactating mothers as well as blanket supple-mentary feeding in specific regions with high vulnerability to malnutrition during lean seasons will be done alongside treat-ment of acute malnutrition, to prevent moderately malnourished children from becoming severely malnourished.


y Treating acute malnutrition in children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and other vulnerable groups with an aim to expand geographical coverage. This will also include manage-ment of essential nutrition supplies like therapeutic food and anthropometric equipment that will support response activities;

y Preventing acute malnutrition in these same groups and supplying vitamin for children;

y Providing supplementary foods to children aged 6-36 months during lean seasons in locations with high food insecurity, under the blanket supplementary food programmes (BSFP);

y Protecting and promoting optimal infant and young child feeding in emergencies;

y Coordinating with other clusters to address underlying causes of malnutrition, in particular poor health and lacking water and sanitation practices. This activity will be expanded in 2014 and carried forward through to 2016; and

y Investing in building capacity of state, communities and other national partners to conduct rapid assessments and nutrition surveys in high-risk counties. Project monitoring and supervision and capacity building will also be expanded in the three years.

links with other organizations and institutionsNutrition programmes will use official South Sudan guidelines for the management of acute malnutrition. Furthermore, cluster partners will support national efforts to monitor nutrition projects through the cluster’s reporting tools and information manage-ment system, which also includes non-CAP partners working in South Sudan. The 2013 pre-harvest nutrition surveys in Eastern Equatoria were conducted by Ministry of Health staff. This support will be expanded throughout the country in 2014 and carried on until 2016 to improve retention of transferred skills, knowledge and practice.

To improve links between health and nutrition, a deliberate effort will be made to have treatment of malnutrition programmes for moderate and severe malnutrition provided in health facilities run by the Ministry of Health. County health departments will be targeted in capacity development to ensure sustainability. During health consultations at facilities, routine screening and referral for malnutrition for children under 5 years will be promoted. The cluster will also contribute to better dietary intake among targeted groups by including health education on appropriate food consumption for young children during screening, admission and follow-up visits within nutrition programmes. BSFP will specifically target individuals in areas of high food insecurity as defined by the food security cluster. In nutrition surveys, the cluster will stan-dardize WASH and food security indicators to capture standard data which can be shared with both clusters. Partners will also collaborate with the WASH and food security clusters to develop a standard nutrition causal analysis tool to improve the under-standing of specific causes of malnutrition.

needs analysis Civilians in South Sudan are exposed to a range of threats to their safety and human rights. Violence between state and non-state armed actors, and between communities, continues to pose an immediate threat, which often results in displacement and can prevent people from returning to their homes. Violence is further fuelled by the proliferation of small weapons among civilians and human right abuses committed during disarmament campaigns.

Overall, security improved somewhat in 2013, with the number of people killed in violent incidents halved compared to the same period in 2012, notably due to fewer cross-border attacks. Between January and October 2013, 273 violent incidents resulted in 669 deaths and the displacement of 188,526 people. In the same period in 2012, 237 violent incidents were recorded, with 1,328 associated deaths and 170,700 people displaced.42 However, in parts of the country, insecurity worsened significantly. For example, in Jonglei State’s Pibor County – one of the least developed parts of the country and historically a flashpoint for inter-communal violence – tension and clashes between state and non-state armed actors displaced and re-displaced tens of thousands of people during the year. In Jonglei, Lakes, Warrap and other states, cattle-raiding has also developed into retalia-tory spirals of inter-communal violence. Women and children face risks of abduction and sexual violence during cattle raiding. The ongoing uncertainty on the status of Abyei creates tensions which may result in a significant escalation in violence, resulting in further displacement from Abyei and preventing those displaced in 2011 and 2012 from returning home.

In order to address cycles of violence and anticipate displace-ment, conflict prevention and early warning activities are as important as protection response to displacement. Community-based approaches strengthen the resilience of local communities.

The lack of durable solutions for resuming a normal life continues to be an obstacle for displaced people and returnees from Sudan. While returns are decreasing, returnees continue to face

challenges at every stage of their journey, including security en route, transportation options, services at final destination, insecure land tenure, and the cost of civil documentation. Reintegration is particularly challenging in a context already marked by high levels of displacement caused by violence and cyclical flooding. Lack of legal protection for many returnees, high rates of poverty and lack of services prevent durable solu-tions, undermine resilience, and make many returnees vulnerable to further displacement. The Protection Cluster is concerned about the potential for land grab, particularly as South Sudan strengthens infrastructural development.

Weaknesses in the formal legal system hamper efforts to strengthen protection. In addition to the lack of legal instruments, limited infra-structure and qualified legal staff continue to make it difficult to ensure a standard approach to protection in South Sudan. South Sudan requires an integrated approach towards ratification of legislation, and implementing this at the community level.

The vulnerability of women, girls, boys and men to sexual violence is likely to continue in areas of violence and high military presence. GBV actors have noted a pattern of increased domestic violence, sexual exploitation and abuse when conflict and displacement occur. Furthermore, a lack of awareness of their rights and fear of retribution mean GBV survivors lack the confidence to report abuses. Worryingly, the provision of services to survivors of GBV is inconsistent across the ten states. Legal assistance remains a significant gap and an absence of healthcare providers at the state and county levels undermines the response to survivors. Linkages to HIV services for vulnerable groups and

GBV survivors are also weak. To mitigate and prevent GBV, human rights discourse and referral mechanisms must be integrated into education programmes, and capacity-building intensified for state institutions and civil society organizations.

Children continue to face significant protection risks. In areas affected by violence and displacement, such as Jonglei’s Pibor County, many children have been separated from their families or gone missing. Children are also at risk of recruitment into armed groups, sexual exploitation and other violence. Limited socio-economic opportunities for adults create risks for returnee and displaced children to be forced into child labour or into becoming street children. Child-headed households are also common in returnee communities. South Sudan needs a reintegration strategy for children affected by violence and displacement, with links to education services. In areas where humanitarian agencies are able to engage in early recovery activities, there is a strong need to implement community-based approaches to child protection.

people affected and targetedThe overall absence of a framework for protection - e.g. laws, policies, institutions, community structures and early warning systems - in South Sudan affects the entire population, but people affected by violence and displacement and returnees are particularly vulnerable. Women tend to be acutely affected by GBV and the broader culture of violence against women caused by an inequitably distribution of resources, exclusion of women from decision-making processes, harmful traditional practices and early marriage. Young men considered to be of fighting age are at risk of recruitment into state and non-state armed groups.

In 2014-2016, the cluster estimates that about 2.2 million people each year will be in need of and targeted with protection assistance. This includes South Sudanese who have returned from Sudan since 2007 and need durable solutions at their final destinations.

geographic coverageIn the coming three years, the Protection Cluster will maintain its current focus on the Abyei area, Jonglei, Lakes, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity and Warrap state as areas of high returns and/or high levels of violence. The cluster will also refocus on Central Equatoria State, given the particular challenges for returnees there and increased patterns of displacement into Central Equatoria from other states and displacement within Juba related to urbanization.

Contributions to strategic objectives The cluster’s overarching objective is to strengthen protection of civilians in emergencies while contributing to conditions condu-cive to durable solutions. The cluster’s response plan contributes to all three objectives of the Strategic Response Plan. The clus-ter’s specific objectives are to:

1. Enhance protection and well-being of children and adolescents through increased engagement of communities in prevention and response;

2. Improve provision of timely, safe and quality child and gender-sensitive prevention and response to GBV in emergencies;

3. Increase access to durable solutions for IDPs and returnees through improved awareness of housing, land and property (HLP) issues among humanitarian actors; and

4. Identify and implement constructive ways forward to address emergencies and obstacles to durable solutions, including addressing civil documentation issues, ensuring staff resources for emergencies and increasing analysis and knowledge.


y Providing assistance to children and youth affected by emer-gencies, including unaccompanied, separated and abducted children and children associated with armed forces and groups. This includes provision of psychosocial support, family tracing and reunification, alternative care services, and reintegration assistance. Partners will increase their focus on building resil-ience and national capacity on child protection in emergencies, to prevent and mitigate protection threats to children.

y Increasing the availability of quality services to GBV survivors at the county, boma and payam levels, especially by building the capacity of local actors and establishing GBV survivor friendly spaces. Livelihoods and HIV interventions will be included in GBV programmes where appropriate. GBV partners will also continue to raise awareness of GBV as a human rights violation, improve the availability of data on GBV, and advocate better policies and legal frameworks to address GBV.

y Promoting land rights and addressing obstacles to secure land tenure. In 2014, the Housing, Land and Property Sub-Cluster will continue to advocate for a protective land act and strengthen land analysis and response in humanitarian programmes.

y Strengthening information on obstacles to durable solutions, including issues such as civil documentation and vulnerability to displacement and advocating on protection of civilian issues. In 2014, the cluster will seek to improve information sharing and data gathering.

y Improving protection mainstreaming within humanitarian action in South Sudan, including providing trainings and tool kits to humanitarian actors and other stakeholders.

links with other organizations and institutions The Protection Cluster intends to assume a leading role in main-streaming protection in the humanitarian response. The findings and recommendations of assessments and reports on protection issues and violations will be the ground for discussions with donors and other policy makers. Operational links with other clusters will be enhanced, to provide a multifaceted response with appropriate services to people in need. Cooperation with the Human Rights Division of the United Nations Mission in South Sudan, particularly in the fields of children’s and women’s rights, as well as protection of civilians, will continue and be strengthened.

To contribute effectively towards conditions conducive for durable solutions - including resilience in the face of cyclical crises - the cluster will increase work to build institutional capacity, e.g. by training state-employed social workers, health care staff, police officers and judges. To this end, coordination with key ministries will be strengthened. The Protection Cluster will also aim to support and build capacity of community and civil society orga-nizations for preventing and responding to protection concerns, including child protection and GBV issues.

needs analysisSouth Sudan continues to be a context where families have precious few resources, even before the impact of violence or disaster further disrupts livelihoods, markets and the ability of families to secure shelter and household items for themselves. Only 50 per cent of households own a blanket or mosquito net.43

Inter-communal violence and clashes between state and non-state armed actors in parts of the country, in particular Jonglei State’s Pibor County, destroyed the homes and livelihoods of tens of thousands of people in 2013. Annual flooding has affected large parts of the country. In 2014-2016, needs are expected to remain highest in the Abyei area and Jonglei State.

While isolated return movements of South Sudanese can be expected in 2014, organized returns are likely to come to a close by the end of 2016. Spontaneous returns are also likely to decrease significantly over the coming three years. Sustainable shelter solutions for returnees at final destinations will become increasingly important, particularly for people who have been in South Sudan for several years but do not have secure land tenure or adequate access to services.

The need for NFI and emergency shelter in response to annual floods should reduce in 2014-2016, provided that adequate disaster risk reduction strategies are adopted by state institutions and their partners and succeed. Knowledge of “normal” cyclical flooding patterns should increase, making it possible to imple-ment appropriate longer-term responses and enhance prepared-ness, including through stronger urban planning and infrastruc-ture, and improved shelter.

So far, shelter and NFI responses have largely taken place in rural settings. In 2014-2016, urbanization may generate new forms of localized violence as land disputes play out in highly populated areas. The cluster may be increasingly challenged to provide innovative responses to needs in urban contexts.

The following needs have been identified by the cluster. Though these core needs are expected to remain in place throughout 2014-2016, priorities may shift as outlined in the section below.

y Frontline NFI and emergency shelter response for those who have been displaced by large-scale inter-communal or other violence.

y Sustainable shelter solutions for IDPs returning to locations where shelter has been severely impacted by violence.

y Emergency shelter solutions for rapid movements of returnees from Sudan.

y Sustainable shelter solutions, including land resolutions, for returnees at final destination.

y Disaster risk reduction strategies in flood-prone areas, with targeted, appropriate NFI and emergency shelter support where local coping strategies break.

people affected and targeted The cluster estimates that about 500,000 people will need shelter and non-food items in 2014. Of these, 405,000 people will be targeted in 2014. This includes people displaced by violence and floods, returnees and host communities. The target is expected to drop to 197,000 and 179,000 people in 2015 and 2016 respectively.

People displaced fleeing homes due to violence are highly mobile, and therefore need only basic shelter solutions and a small set of durable NFI when they are on the move. Needs are heightened in communities facing repeated displacements throughout the year, particularly where the looting and burning of tukuls is a feature of violence. Where displaced people use schools for shelter, there is need for basic shelter support, so schools can be vacated and children can continue to access education.

Based on these observations, the cluster expects that 95 per cent of people newly displaced by violence will need NFI support.

Cluster snapshot


Among this group, the predominant need will be for basic NFI in the initial phase of displacement. The cluster expects that displaced people who remain in extended displacement for reasons of insecurity, or who return after a period of displace-ment, will also require emergency or transitional shelter support. Finally, NFI support will be provided to people affected by floods where local coping mechanisms break.

The driving need for returnees is adequate shelter solutions, which differ at the various stages of their journey and according to their final destination. Where returnees become stranded for extended periods of time, emergency shelter solutions are needed. At final destination, many returnees are unable to integrate in their communities, arriving in urban or peri-urban areas and facing challenges with access to land and basic services. For these groups, sustainable shelter solutions which take into account the local context and community dynamics are desperately needed. Disaster risk reduction needs to be main-streamed into shelter and NFI interventions, and various forms of cash transfer programming (CTP) considered to maximize indi-rect benefits and build the resilience of communities.

The cluster estimates that most of the anticipated new returnees in 2013 will need emergency shelter and NFI support and that a share of all returnees who have arrived since 2007 require more sustainable support. For displaced people and returnees, responding to the needs of host communities is essential to avoid creating tension.

Contributions to strategic objectivesThe cluster’s overarching objective is to ensure that displaced people, returnees and host communities have inclusive access to appropriate shelter solutions, including essential NFI. The cluster response plan contributes to all three objectives in the Strategic Response Plan. Its specific objectives are to:

1. Ensure rapid provision of emergency shelter and basic NFI in acute emergencies, including supply, pre-positioning, and distribution of items;

2. Deliver sustainable, locally adapted shelter solutions to target groups, including vulnerable returnees and returning displaced people;

3. Ensure disaster risk reduction strategies are mainstreamed into shelter and NFI interventions, and pilot cash transfer program-ming for shelter and NFI to build the resilience of South Suda-nese communities; and

4. Enhance technical capacity through provision of support and training to RRC and partners.

To achieve these goals, the cluster will under take several priority activities.

The cluster will ensure sufficient supply, transport and pre- positioning of a standard package of emergency shelter and NFI in strategic locations. The decentralized pre-positioning strategy

employed in 2013 will be replicated in the coming dry season, with adequate storage facilities to ensure rapid response to acute emergencies.

The cluster will continue to improve response times in acute emergencies, and the quality of assessment and targeting, in partnership with RRC. The cluster will also ensure sufficient surge capacity for large-scale or complex emergencies. Response will be inclusive of communities in need, and alert to gender dynamics, by ensuring that women and girls are meaningfully included throughout the response period. In particular, this will include continuing to count households on the basis of wives/mothers, rather than husbands/fathers. The cluster will attempt to address the needs of large families with additional support and will also seek to mitigate protection risks by including items such as lanterns, whistles and torches. The cluster will provide training to partners including RRC, on assessment methods, verification, targeting and distribution. As in 2013, post-distribution monitoring will measure the quality of interventions.

The cluster will adjust its shelter support to provide better shelter solutions to different groups. The basic emergency shelter provi-sion that the cluster has engaged in so far is insufficient to address the needs of certain groups, for example returnees at final desti-nation and those displaced from Abyei. Starting in 2014, the cluster will provide shelter solutions that offer a greater degree of safety and protection appropriate to these groups. For returnees who have returned to rural areas, and who may have land but lack the skills to build typical rural dwellings, targeted shelter solutions based on local materials and skills will be provided.

To improve the sustainability of its activities, the cluster will develop links to livelihoods. In South Sudan, cash transfer program-ming, including cash, vouchers and cash for work, has been piloted but not yet embraced. These programmes face several constraints, including agency capacity, access for monitoring, security, protection risks, access to markets, and market capacity. However, because key shelter materials in use throughout South Sudan are harvested locally, local markets are usually available in the correct seasons, and the entrepreneurship of local merchants should be supported.

To mitigate needs caused by flooding and build communities’ resilience, the cluster will mainstream disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness measures into shelter and NFI program-ming, with the aim of reducing reliance on humanitarian aid. The cluster will deliver shelter solutions that incorporate disaster risk reduction for the wet season, from site planning and risk mapping to design elements such as vent direction, increased elevation of tukuls, or re-locatable structures.

The cluster will develop further shelter/NFI technical capacity and apply locally appropriate technical standards. Building on the guidelines for post-distribution monitoring developed in 2012, the cluster will collaboratively develop a minimum standard guide for each stage of the response cycle in acute emergency. The guide will include key definitions such as what constitutes an emergency warranting cluster intervention in the flooding season.

Another priority is to continue to improve and strengthen informa-tion management, and expand emergency coverage and explore locally appropriate and innovative shelter and NFI solutions, by increasing the engagement with national NGOs.

In partic-ular, the cluster will seek to work more closely with the Land Coordination Forum, to advance sustainable shelter solutions for returnees, and to support and align with South Sudan's own NFI emergency response.

On cash transfer programming and links to livelihoods and envi-ronmental mitigation measures, links will be sought with partners in the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster. The cluster will also develop appropriate linkages with relevant stakeholders, such as the Ministry of Housing, Works and Planning and UNHABITAT, to promote the inclusion of disaster risk reduction and emergency preparedness in mid- to long-term urban development policies and planning. Development partners working in shelter and rele-vant fields will be included in the cluster’s Shelter Working Group.

In 2014, the cluster will continue to identitfy capacity for piloting links with local livelihoods as an alternative to in-kind provision of materials, where this can be more cost effective and supportive of local economies, linking with technical networks such as the Cash Learning Partnership.

needs analysis The lack of safe drinking water, inadequate excretal disposal and poor hygiene practices leave a large portion of South Sudan’s population at persistent risk of preventable waterborne diseases. The 2010 Sudan Household Health Survey indicates that the current coverage rate of safe water for drinking is 49.3 per cent, with coverage rates of adequate sanitation at a mere 12.7 per cent. 64.1 per cent of the population has no access to sanitation facilities, and only 10.5 per cent treat water in order to ensure that it is safe to drink and to minimize waterborne diseases.54

The consequences of poor water, sanitation and hygiene are stark: according to the Sudan Household Health Survey, 43 per cent of children had diarrhea in the last two weeks before the survey.55 High diarrhea rates leave children vulnerable to malnu-trition and opportunistic infections like pneumonia. Communities situated along river banks, or near chronically flooded areas, rely on unsafe surface water for domestic purposes as a standard practice. Water-related diseases compound the problem of minimal safe water and sanitation access. Overall, 98 per cent of global guinea worm cases are in South Sudan.56 Kala azar also continues to spike, with 12,000 cases reported since September 2009. The need for water and sanitation facilities is noted as a critical component of the response to the disease.57

The number of displaced people will continue to be significant in 2014. Displaced people, returnees and refugees will increase the pressure on already insufficient water and sanitation services. The demand and impact on WASH services will be high, as will the potential for water-related disease, including cholera, watery and/or bloody diarrhea, and other illnesses which can contribute to malnutrition.

In 2014 and into 2015, emergency WASH needs are expected to remain high, along with WASH needs which emerge due to chronic emergencies in a system with no resilience to shocks. Over time, emergency WASH needs may decrease slightly, due to increased capacity and community resilience, and stabiliza-tion in the overall situation. WASH needs in chronically vulnerable

communities may also reduce slightly. Between 2014 and 2016, it is critical that practical measures are taken to increase resilience within communities through sustainable approaches to WASH programming and building capacity of households and commu-nities. Though inadequate WASH services contribute significantly to disease and mortality, due to poverty and low education levels, communities do not properly operate and maintain their water and sanitation services.

Cluster snapshot


people affected and targeted WASH needs are greatest among displaced populations who are often settled in locations without clean water sources, sanitation facilities, and with few or no materials to practice proper hygiene. Host communities are often acutely vulnerable as well, with little or no ability to absorb excess demand on WASH services. Women and girls are affected by WASH needs more than men and boys, as women and girls are the primary water collectors and caretakers in the home.

The cluster estimates that 4.4 million people will need water, sani-tation and hygiene services in 2014. Of these, up to 2.9 million people will be targeted for assistance, with the number reducing in 2015 and 2016, as WASH interventions build resilience among affected communities.

geographic coverageKey areas of acute emergency will continue to be in parts of Jonglei, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Upper Nile and Warrap states. Needs in these areas will remain at around 2013 levels in 2014 and 2015. Chronic emergencies, such as flooding and cattle raiding, will also continue to affect similar areas in these states.

In 2014, the needs addressed by humanitarians will be similar to 2013 but needs will likely decrease moving into 2015 and 2016. In 2014, needs linked to returns may arise in Central Equatoria, Lakes, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Unity, Warrap and Western Bahr el Ghazal. Beyond 2014, returnee needs are expected to decrease.

Contributions to strategic objectives The cluster’s overarching objective is to increase access to safe water and improved sanitation and hygiene practices among emergency-affected and chronically vulnerable communities. The cluster’s response plan contributes to all three objectives in the Strategic Response Plan. Key priorities are to:

1. Increase timely and equitable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services to emergency-affected populations;

2. Strengthen chronically vulnerable communities to withstand emergency WASH crises through direct provision of WASH services;

3. Strengthen resilience among chronically vulnerable communi-ties, and build capacity within WASH line ministries and national NGOs/CBOs.

Priority actions will include:

y Providing front-line emergency WASH services;

y Increasing the implementation of sustainable practices related to water, sanitation, and hygiene, including dissemination of sustainable sanitation methods specific to South Sudan; incorporating micro-finance training into WASH training for communities; and working with the cluster lead agency, donors, state institutions, and private sector to establish a strategy for reducing subsidies for borehole spare parts;

y Developing DRR methods that are relevant to the South Sudan context, such as flood mapping; water point and sanitation designs that are resistant to flood contamination; and promoting preventive maintenance on water points; and

y Strengthening information management and management of WASH pipelines.

In 2015, the cluster will focus on implementing partnerships between international NGOs and community-based organiza-tions. Moving into 2016, the cluster will focus on implementing activities that build resilience and local capacity and are sustain-able, in line with strategies developed and lessons learned over the previous two years. The cluster will prioritize programming that addresses core sustainability issues in the WASH sector.

The WASH Strategic Advisory Group will continue to offer guid-ance to the WASH Cluster, with particular focus on longer-term issues such as capacity development of partners (including national NGOs) and technical guidance notes. To ensure effec-tive emergency response, the WASH Cluster will draw on two evaluations of the WASH Cluster core pipeline in early 2014 to guide changes and revisions to how the pipeline is managed and used. The state focal points system will continue to be developed to further de-centralize emergency response, and provide better capacity building opportunities to key ministries at the state level.

Over 2014-2016, the WASH Cluster will focus on building resil-ience of households and communities, and building capacity of national NGOs, CBOs and line ministries. At community level, community-led approaches for WASH service provision will be encouraged to increase resilience - i.e. further promo-tion of CLTS, development of community-based incentives for key community WASH personnel, and developing micro-finance

training for communities as part of WASH operation and main-tenance training. Developing and implementing context-specific disaster risk reduction methods - such as latrine and water point design resistant to flood contamination - will also be vital to protect communities from predictable shocks. The WASH Cluster will encourage the secondment of expert WASH staff to line ministries at state level, as a way to increase capacity. The cluster also seeks to increase capacity of national NGOs and CBOs, as a way to increase capacity for basic service delivery in a sustainable way. INGOs will be encouraged to partner with CBOs and NNGOs. Monitoring and reporting feedback will be given to national NGOs and CBOs, offering guidance and direction for capacity develop-ment. Training workshops will continue to be tailored to the needs of national partners.

links with other organizations and institutionsThe WASH Cluster works closely with the Ministry of Electricity, Dams, Irrigation, and Water Resources, and indirectly with the health and education ministries at national level. Continued devel-

opment of counterparts in the national line ministry is important to the cluster. At the state level, the WASH Cluster works mainly with the State Ministry of Physical Infrastructure or Directorates of Rural Water Supply and Sanitation located in other state minis-tries. The partnership with key ministries extends to county and payam levels, where applicable.

The WASH Cluster works closely with other agencies, such as recovery and development agencies, which may not formally engage with the cluster, but have work contributing to the CAP objectives - in particular objectives 2 and 3. Overall, the WASH Cluster seeks to ensure that state institutions are supported in implementing their strategic framework for the WASH sector through direct partnership and the partnership of cluster part-ners. The WASH Cluster also liaises with other humanitarian agen-cies which have mandates that do not allow formal engagement with the WASH Cluster, but which contribute in significant ways to humanitarian response.

96 2013 in Review South Sudan ConSolidated appeal 2014-2016

several crises stabilizeThe humanitarian situation in South Sudan saw improvements on several fronts in 2013, with overall needs reducing for the first time since 2011. The arrival of Sudanese refugees slowed down, and fewer returnees arrived from Sudan than in previous years. On the food security front, the situation improved slightly for many South Sudanese, although the number of people deemed severely food insecure remained at a worryingly high level. With stabilization in these areas, aid organizations increased efforts to respond to a large-scale displacement of people due to insecurity in Pibor County, Jonglei State. Relations between South Sudan and neigh-bouring Sudan, though fractious in the first half of the year with austerity measures maintained due to unpredictability around oil production, saw improvements later in the year with commitments to resolving issues including continued oil flow. Several Compre-hensive Peace Agreement issues lay unresolved as the country headed into 2014, with the status of the contested Abyei area a potential pressure point for instability in the year ahead.

hostilities centred in JongleiInsecurity remained a key driver of humanitarian needs in 2013, although the situation improved compared with 2012. 273 violence-related incidents occurred during the year, causing 669

deaths and newly displacing 188,500 people.58 The number of people killed in violence reduced by 79 per cent, compared with the same period in 2012, while the number of people displaced by violence increased by 11 per cent. This was largely attribut-able to a reduction in cross-border hostilities with Sudan and fewer incidents of inter-communal violence.

Insecurity in Jonglei State accounted for 65 per cent of all displace-ment countrywide.59 An offensive by the South Sudan armed forces against a non-state armed group aligned with David Yau Yau sparked widespread displacement in Pibor County in March 2013. State security forces were accused of causing civilians to flee their homes. Attacks have also occurred on humanitarian operations by armed actors. All six major population centres emptied (though there has been movement of people in and out of Pibor and Gumuruk in order to receive assistance). An estimated 100,000 people were affected by the crisis. Another 16,700 people fled the country to Ethiopia, Kenya and Uganda.60 Large-scale inter-communal clashes in July compounded an already dire situation, characterized by attacks and counter-attacks on a seasonal basis, with the latest cycles of violence dating back to 2011.

2013 IN REVIEWChanges in context in the past twelve months


South Sudan ConSolidated appeal 2014-2016 2013 in Review 97

Humanitarian access negotiations with state institutions and non-state armed actors in mid-July successfully opened up space to mount a large-scale response operation in multiple locations. As of October, aid agencies had reached five affected areas in Pibor County, assisting over 75,000 people with food, emergency education, emergency shelter, medicine and clean water.

food insecurity Food insecurity improved slightly in 2013, largely because of a good harvest at the end of 2012, a subsequent increase in local production, and a slight drop in prices. However, improving the situation continued to be a priority as 4.1 million people remained in need of support,61 amid concerns of new plant and animal diseases and pests emerging. Of particular concern were one million acutely food insecure people.62 This number has stayed roughly the same since 2008, indicating a largely unchanged situ-ation for the most vulnerable. Aid organizations provided food and livelihoods assistance to about 1.8 million people in 2013, 82 per cent of the overall number of people targeted.63

Food insecurity was driven by a number of factors. The country faced a cereal deficit of nearly 371,000 metric tonnes, meaning many families relied on imported food supplies. However, periodic border closures between South Sudan and Sudan since Indepen-dence meant that limited imported foodstuffs reached markets and food prices remained high, especially in states bordering Sudan. Food insecurity was also worsened by livestock diseases

and morbidity, and displacement caused by violence which disrupted production in some areas. The most food insecure areas of the country were the counties bordering Sudan, and those hosting vulnerable groups such as refugees and returnees.

Malnutrition rates have also continued to be high. Pre-harvest surveys carried out between January and June found global acute malnutrition rates of 5.4 per cent to 35.6 per cent, with 85 per cent of counties assessed beyond the emergency threshold of 15 per cent.

fewer arrivals from sudanBy the end of October, 226,000 refugees were hosted in South Sudan,64 largely from Sudan but also from the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Ethiopia. People continued to flee conflict in Sudan’s Blue Nile and South Kordofan states for a second year. No significant progress was made to enable people in the conflict zone to access humani-tarian assistance within Sudan, and aid was provided largely

from within South Sudan. By the end of October, Unity and Upper Nile states hosted 197,000 Sudanese refugees. However, arrivals slowed down, with only 23,000 new registrations in 2013, compared to 200,000 in the same period in 2012.65 This allowed aid agencies to shift from emergency response to a longer-term focus on improving living conditions and strengthening protection of refugees.

Returns of South Sudanese from Sudan occurred in similarly low movements, with 84,000 new arrivals in 2013.66 This was the lowest number of people to arrive since 2007, when movement tracking began. Some 11,000 returnees remained in transit in Upper Nile’s Renk, many of whom had been stranded for up to two years, citing a lack of money as the main reason for not being able to continue to their final destinations.

tension in abyeiThe humanitarian situation in the contested Abyei area showed little change. An estimated 45,000 of 105,000 people affected by an attack on Abyei in 2011 remain displaced outside of the Abyei area. However, almost all 105,000 people are reliant on humanitarian assistance, due to the absence of an Abyei Administration and longer term development.67 In May 2013, the killing of a senior traditional leader in Abyei sparked tensions in the area and highlighted the volatility of the situation. A locally organized referendum held in October has not been recognized by either state, and the final status of the area remains unresolved.

seasonal flooding199,000 people were affected by seasonal floods as of the end of October. Over 117,000 people have been assisted, with responses ongoing. Jonglei, Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap have been the hardest hit states. The impact of this year’s flooding to date is less than in 2012, when 260,000 people were affected during the same period.68 Communities have been impacted in the short-term by destruction of homes, loss of assets, temporary displacement and destroyed crops. Although access to affected communities has been constrained by damaged roads, humani-tarians and state institutions have joined to provide a concerted response, prioritizing the hardest hit areas. While one positive consequence of the floods is an extended growing season for farmers, the lack of access limited opportunities for livelihoods partners to support people to take advantage of agricultural opportunities as the floods recede.

humanitarian access challengesHumanitarian access continued to be hampered in 2013 by violence against aid workers or assets, active hostilities, bureaucratic impediments and logistical challenges. The number of access incidents increased by 33 per cent over the year as compared to 2012, with 141 incidents recorded in 2012 and 218 recorded in 2013.69

With more than 60 per cent of the country's roads impassable during the rainy season, humanitarian activities continued to rely heavily on air assets, including helicopters, to reach remote rural areas where people have been affected by hostilities or flooding. In addition to economically motivated attacks against humanitarian workers and assets - including theft and looting of aid supplies - activities were also hampered by active hostilities, especially in Pibor County where a large number of civilians were unable to access services and assistance for fear of violence. Negotiated access with state and non-state actors and increased air assets enabled humanitarians to reach more than 75,000 people affected by violence in Pibor County by October.

South Sudan ConSolidated appeal 2014-2016 2013 in Review 99

The highest number of access constraints was reported in Jonglei, Upper Nile and Unity states, all of which host significant numbers of humanitarian actors and activities. About half of all reported access constraints were attributed to state actors, and about half to non-state or unknown actors. Though bureaucratic impediments remained a challenge, they improved in 2013 with regard to customs and tax exemption processes.

political tensionsSouth Sudan and Sudan continued to have sporadic diplomatic rows. Nevertheless, oil production - which was shut down in January 2012 - resumed in April on the heels of improved rela-tions. However, austerity budgets stayed in place, fuelled by uncertainty over possible future stoppages. With 92 per cent of South Sudan’s revenue raised by oil, any future interruption to production would have serious consequences for the population.

Political turbulence within Government characterized the first half of the year. An unexpected cabinet reshuffle in July reduced the number of ministries from 28 to 21, and removed several Ministers, Deputy Ministers and the Vice President from power. The transition to the new government proceeded calmly and in line with constitutional provisions.

majority of people targeted reachedIn 2013, up to 4.5 million people relied on humanitarian assis-tance. In response, more than 1.8 million people had received food and livelihoods assistance as of September 2013, representing 82 per cent of the 2.2 million people targeted for the year. Partners vaccinated around 869,000 animals - 87 per cent of the target.

improved access in JongleiInsecurity in Jonglei State was a key focus of humanitarian concern from February onwards. As of mid-July, access improved through negotiated access with state and non-state armed actors and the support of helicopter assets, which allowed for a response to more than 159,000 violence-affected people throughout the country. Flooding affected large parts of the country, with more than 199,000 accessed and assessed to be in need of assistance as of end of October, of whom 117,000 had been assisted.

pre-positioning progressAs in 2012, partners made strong progress on pre-positioning supplies, with on average 85 per cent of supplies needed for the year in place in Juba or state capitals by the end of September. With most of the road network in the state already closed by mid-May due to insecurity and rains, helicopter air assets were instrumental in moving emergency aid to hard-to-reach areas in Jonglei State.

frontline services coverageClusters maintained frontline services in many hotspot areas in spite of insecurity and access constraints. Emergency education material was provided to over 99,000 school-age children (56 per cent of target).

refugee crisis stabilizedHumanitarian partners also provided aid to the about 197,000 Sudanese refugees who sought refuge in Unity and Upper Nile states, with the operation moving from crisis to a more stable phase. Malnutrition and disease outbreaks in refugee settlements were kept under control and health indicators were maintained above emergency thresholds in all refugee sites. Water, sanita-tion and hygiene improved and stayed above emergency thresh-olds in most settlements. Two new refugee camps were opened with the capacity to host 40,000 people, to take pressure off existing sites.

84,000 new returnees supportedAid agencies assisted about 84,000 South Sudanese who returned from Sudan since the start of the year with transport, food, medical assistance and household items. About 6,000 returnees were supported with transport assistance to reach final destinations. About 11,000 returnees stranded in Upper Nile’s Renk received in-transit assistance.

safety and health improvementsOver 1,550 kilometres of road and over 1,050 hazardous areas were cleared of landmines. Over 443 suspected disease outbreaks were constrained; 81 per cent of which were responded to within 72 hours. Nearly 1.8 million children under five years were treated for malnutrition. Access to clean water was provided to some 1.3 million vulnerable people, and more than 51,000 vulnerable fami-lies were supported with emergency household items.

Seven strategic objectives guided humanitarian action in South Sudan during the year. As of September, clusters had made excellent progress with a good chance of significant further progress by the end of the year end should more funding become available, and access to areas affected by violence and flood be ensured.

PROGRESS TOWARDS 2013 STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES


STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 1 1prepare for and respond to emergencies on time

indicator target achieved 30 sep lessons learned Challenges

1 Road access maintained to key areas defined by

the Logistics Cluster

Access to critical roads 80% of the year

90% The timely funding for core pipelines was essential in enabling pre-positioning to take place.

The need for predictable funding for helicopter air assets to access Jonglei and flood-affected communities.

As of mid-July, access to communities impacted by violence in Pibor County increased following negotiated access to areas of state and non-state presence and the provision of helicopter air assets.

In some areas such as Jonglei, insecurity delayed or affected the level of pre-positioning of core pipeline supplies, with looting by armed actors further exacerbating the situation.

Lack of funding resulted in a decreased UNHAS fleet which is expected to impact the ability of partners to respond to emergencies. Lack of funding grounded the UNDSS plane used for security assessments, and security and medical evacuations of NGOs.

2 Key airstrips open for fix-wing aircraft

Access to critical airstrips 80% of the year

80%

3 Percentage of pre-positioned core

pipelines complete

90% 85% overall (at Juba and state level) with pre-positioning in hubs varying from 50% to 95%. As of September all pipelines were on track apart from education, nutrition and reproductive health

4 Number of Government staff receiving

emergency response training

350 225 (205 male/ 20 female)

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 2 2maintain frontline services in hotspot areas


1 Number of medical consultations

2,854,700 1,250,000 (M: 51%; F: 49%)45% of consultations <5yrs

Strategies used by education partners resulted in 39 per cent of children attending temporary learning spaces being girls, a marked improvement compared to regular education (range from 31per cent to 42 per cent in targeted states).

Insecurity and lack of or delayed funding were key constraints experienced by clusters. Access to communities in Pibor County was severely reduced with health facilities and humanitarian assets looted and destroyed by armed actors and staff relocated.

Inadequate funding for WASH affected progress in relation to ‘recovery’ objectives, with significant gaps in geographic areas less prone to acute emergencies but which have chronic needs.

Lack of progress on prerequisites such as land allocation, demarcation and tenure impacted on sustainable shelter solutions.

Difficulty securing funding for activities that fall outside of life-saving criteria.

50,900 households assisted with NFI kits

7,917 households received emergency shelter kits and 2,918 shelters constructed (39%)


STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 3 3assist and protect refugees and host communities


1 Number of refugees assisted

263,000 222,200 refugees An integrated multi-sector approach addressed health, nutrition and WASH needs in refugee camps keeping malnutrition rates and under-5 mortality rate below the emergency threshold.

Concerted outreach and dissemination to all interlocutors is needed to support refugees in relocating

Relocation of refugees from Yida to Ajoung Thok was slower than expected as refugees initially resisted the move.

More funding will be required to shift the refugee response from emergency to a more sustainable approach as the situation stabilizes.

Limited window to mobilize resources and assets for construction before the rainy season requires predictable and timely funding.

2 Percentage of refugees with access to protection

and lifesaving assistance

100% 100%

3 Under 5 mortality rate Less than 2 per 10,000 people per day (emergency threshold)

Between 0.77-0.2/10000 (Lower than emergency threshold)

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 4 4protect people affected by crisis


1 Number of policies, practices and

procedures modified in accordance with protection principle

6 2 (GBV Form 8 and Land Policy)

Successful integration of protection into joint assessments contributed to a more comprehensive picture of protection needs and informed programming

Insecurity in Eastern Equatoria, Jonglei and Upper Nile states negatively affected the activities of the Mine Action Sub-Cluster

Access challenges in particular in Jonglei due to ongoing violence as well as increasing incidents of harassment of humanitarian actors also affected ability of protection actors to assess communities and respond to their needs

2 Number of people benefiting from

promotion and assistance to access civil status documentation

200,000 106,500 (53% of target)

3 Number of m2 of land released for social

economic activities following assessment and or clearance by mine action partners

5.4 million m2

5.7 million m2

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 5 5support returns in a voluntary, safe and sustainable manner


1 Number of returnees and Abyei affected

people assisted

70,000 returnees

120,000 Abyei-affected people

84,000 returnees registered at final destinations. 6,000 returnees assisted to arrive at final destination

23,000 individuals newly registered in the Abyei area. 120,000 Abyei affected assisted with some form of aid

Strategic approach of cluster engagement with the Government resulted in lifting of three-month moratorium on barge/river movements in Upper Nile State easing returnee movements.

Costs related to moving stranded returnees in Renk as a result of their large amounts of luggage hindered progress.

Barriers remained to sustainable reintegration of returnees in their final destinations with only minimal progress on land allocation to returnees.

2 Number of Government staff trained

500 0 (training to take place in November)


STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 6 6increase resilience of households suffering from recurrent shocks


1 Number of people receiving food and

non-food assistance

2.2 million people supported with food security response

1,824,200 (83%) Cluster achievements results are due to robust field presence in all states, and a network of partners including state ministries, national and international NGOs.

Current low funding levels for agricultural programmes undermines the effectiveness of the overall response to food insecurity in South Sudan.

Insecurity limited physical access to targeted areas and resulted in temporary suspension of some activities due to protection concerns.

2 Percentage decrease in the level of food

insecurity among households

20% reduction in food insecurity

Food insecurity by June 2013 reduced 42% (SFI) and 6% (MFI) compared to June 2012. It also reduced by 27% (SFI) and 10% (MFI) compared with February 2013

3 Number of people supported with food

assistance, cash transfers, fishing kits and seeds and tools

1 million people supported by food production activities

540,000 people (54%)

STRATEGIC OBJECTIVE 7 7improve the operating environment


1 Number of access related incidents

110 218 Consistent and varied advocacy in relation to access including a wider high-level advocacy by the HC and other partners (including robust engagement by the Education Cluster in relation to occupation of schools by armed forces).

Importance of tracking on a real-time basis the timeliness and impact of the inter-agency assessment and response mechanism enabling partners to address access constraints and review the effectiveness of responses.

The operating environment for NGOs and UN alike continued to be difficult, hindering actors in their ability to provide life-saving aid.The rise in access constraints was attributed at least in part to increased political interference into humanitarian activities.

DONOR FUNDING 2013Funding for the South Sudan CAP 2013

In 2013 114 aid organizations sought $1.16 billion to meet human-itarian needs as the continuing refugee crisis and high food insecurity called for large-scale action.

As in 2012, humanitarian funding was slow to come in. At the end of the first quarter, funding spiked from 11 to 35 per cent due to a large food assistance contribution.

At the CAP mid-year review, the decrease in the number of food insecure people from 4.5 million to 4.1 million people, coupled with fewer refugee arrivals, reduced financial requirements to $1.05 billion. However, the outbreak of violence in Jonglei State, prompting significant internal displacement resulted in the appeal being revised upwards by $20 million.

As of 1 November, the CAP was 71 per cent funded. Six out of twelve clusters were over 75 per cent funded while three clusters - emergency telecommunications, multi-sector and protection - were less than 50 per cent funded.

Analysis of funding by priority level shows that immediate high and high priority projects attracted significant funding. Of the 10 high immediate priority projects (core humanitarian pipe-lines) seven were over 50 per cent funded. The pipelines for nutrition, reproductive health and vaccinations were least funded.

Although high priority projects attracted a large amount of resources in absolute terms, they received lower levels of funding percentage-wise. The relative funding levels of the clusters also showed important gaps in funding for high priority projects. For example, child protection activities and psycho-social support to people affected by emergencies were in general severely underfunded, creating major gaps in the emergency response, with long-running consequences for community resilience and recovery from crisis.

The high level of funding for medium and low priority projects has several explanations. Donors invested in some programmes addressing longer-term goals such as increasing resilience

and addressing chronic vulnerabilities in states which were not considered humanitarian hot-spots. Also the relatively low requirements for low and medium priority projects meant that large contributions to individual projects significantly increased the overall funding coverage.

Clusters in some cases struggled to attract funds for activities that went beyond emergency response to build resilience and national capacity. For example, while the pipeline for food aid was 80 per cent funded, the pipeline for seeds and tools was only 65 per cent covered.

International NGOs received most of the funds, with 95 per cent of their requirements covered, followed by UN agencies (65 per cent funded) and national NGOs (48 per cent funded).

Contribution of pooled fundingPooled funding, channeled through the Common Humanitarian Fund and the Central Emergency Response Fund, continued to be a major source of resources for humanitarian agencies in South Sudan, representing 14 per cent of all the funding secured. $96.2 million was channeled through the CHF and $11.5 million through the CERF.

Pooled funding was a particularly useful tool for allocating resources to underfunded clusters. For example, CHF and CERF funds represented 82 per cent of the money secured for emer-gency telecommunications, and half of the resources mobilized for the Emergency Shelter and NFI Cluster. In most cases, CHF funding complemented resources from bilateral donors.

funding outside the CapThe CAP continued to be the preferred framework for donors to provide funding for humanitarian programmes. As of 1 November, $113 million had been provided to projects not listed in the appeal, which equalled around 15 per cent of resources mobi-lized through the CAP.

actual number of people displaced by violence due to access constraints5. Aid agencies estimate violence in May 2011 displaced up to 105,000

people from the Abyei area, based on pre-crisis population figures. In planning for 2014, aid agencies use a slightly higher figure of 120,000 people, which includes a proportion of the host community in surrounding areas where the Abyei displaced are located.

Shelter and non-food items 43. Sudan Household Health Survey (2010)44. Emergency shelter kit agreed by the cluster in 2012 includes: bamboo

poles, plastic sheet, rope. Tents are also stockpiled for use in appropriate circumstances.

45. Standard NFI kit for South Sudan agreed by the cluster in 2012 includes the following range of items: blankets, sleeping mats, plastic sheet, kitchen set, soap, bucket, jerry can, kanga, mosquito net.

46. A greater variety of shelter options will provide a greater degree of protection and safety than the current standard emergency shelter kit. It will include more robust materials than the emergency shelter kit, such as wooden poles, grass or CGI sheets for roofing, depending on context, and could include improvements to design, or protection and longevity of materials. Emergency to sustainable shelter projects shall include strong technical support to beneficiaries.

47. Based on CAP 2014 planning figures, additionally taking into account returnees in-country who require sustainable shelter support, flood displaced, and the need for multiple phases of response for some internally displaced.

48. Approximately 6% of total delivery. 49. 95% of new returnees (21,600 M, 23,400 F), assuming a large proportion

will be involved in rapid, large-scale movement and incorporating longer term shelter support for this population. A further 97,000 individuals have been included (46,500 M, 50,500 F), accounting for 5% of the total returnee population currently in South Sudan, estimated to be in need of sustainable shelter solutions. The cluster will target the total 95% of new returnees in need, and a quarter of those in need of sustainable shelter given capacity constraints (11,400 M, 12,600 F).

50. 95% of newly conflict displaced (57,000 M, 61,750 F; Abyei, 54,720 M, 59,280 F). A further 40% added to account for multiple phases of response for newly displaced, and for flood displacement (45,240 M, 49,010 F). The cluster will target the total 95% of newly displaced in need, and 50% of the additional caseloads given the predominance of need for sustainable shelter and DRR and capacity constraints in these areas.

70. This is a significant underestimate – target includes refugees, however achievement figures for refugees were not available.

71. Original target of 2,220 has been revised down to 1,825.72. As of July, 201373. In addition to transporting passengers, UNHAS also moved 135 mt of

light cargo on regular flights. 74. Please note that this figure does not include daily coordination meetings

held in Bor and facilitated by OCHA which have been conducted since the Jonglei air operation commenced in June.

75. In total, UNOPS works took 210 days to complete the seven achieved taskings from February to August 2013.

76. Training was delayed as the Tracking and Monitoring team was focussed on establishing a tracking mechanism in Jonglei between July and August. Training will take place in November 2013 with preparations underway.

77. The change in figure compared to mid-year review is due to biometric refugee registration resulting in a reduction in numbers from refugees.
