The project intends to deliver WASH emergency relief assistance to remote locations in which IDPs or host communities have been affected by conflict, or outbreaks of waterborne diseases such as cholera through the deployment of WASH EPnR mobile teams. IOM will continue supporting the WASH Cluster strategy to ensure immediate lifesaving aid in areas lacking a strong presence of WASH partners able to respond accordingly to the needs present.

Through this project, IOM aims to set up a multi-sectoral emergency response team composed of Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Shelter and Non Food Items (NFI), and Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) experts that can be immediately deployed to priority locations to address the most urgent needs of vulnerable populations affected by violence, cholera, flooding and/or food insecurity. At present, priority locations, as defined by the inter cluster working group, are: Upper Nile, Unity and Jonglei States.

As IDPs continue to seek safe refuge in the UNMISS PoCs, IOM will carry out site preparation activities in new Bentiu PoC. In line with the humanitarian communities overall strategy of providing lifesaving services to the vulnerable IDPs seeking protection in the Bentiu PoC, this project aims to improve living conditions in Bentiu PoC through carrying out site preparation works to develop a new PoC area in Bentiu. The project aims to develop the site to alleviate congestion and reduce the risk of severe health, sanitation and protection concerns. Activities of the project include: 1.1.

The project contributes to the WASH emergency response in South Sudan through the procurement, prepositioning and management of the WASH sector’s core emergency supply pipeline. The project will assist the WASH cluster in ensuring the provision of safe water supply and improved sanitation and promote good hygiene targeting the most vulnerable populations, specifically women and children, at risk of disease outbreak, and/or those facing nutritional crises.

As IDPs continue to seek safe refuge in the UNMISS PoCs, IOM will carry out site preparation activities in new Bentiu PoC.

This CERF project will cater to the latest lifesaving needs of the camp coordination and camp management response, in line with the aims and objectives of the CCCM Cluster. Expected outputs are: 1) IDPs living in Bentiu PoC have improved access to health, WASH, educational services and additional space due to camp management and site expansion activities, reducing the risk of severe health and sanitation problems, as well as violence and unrest; 2) Emergency life-saving interventions of the wider humanitarian community are supported, through the expansion of humanitarian hubs in Bentiu.

To project aims to improve the hygiene and sanitation conditions of the IDPs in the PoC in Bentiu through the provision of flood mitigation actions to evacuate stagnant water from the PoC.

IOM plans to upgrade existing services and infrastructure in order to provide more sustainable solutions such as solar powered water supply systems. Presently at Doro camp, the water consumed daily by over 48,000 refugees is pumped from aquifers through 18 motorized pumping stations, disinfected with chlorine, and distributed across the camp through 18 kilometres of piping networks. The water is regularly tested to ensure that it is safe to drink.

Providing lifesaving assistance in hard to reach areas has been identified by the humanitarian community as both a critical need and a major gap in the response to date. This project aims to address this though the establishment of a mobile rapid response team, deployable within a week of being tasked by the ICWG. The mobile team will consist of Shelter/NFI, WASH and health operations experts with the capacity to respond in two field locations simultaneously. The project is developed in line with the parameters outlined in the CHF reserve policy paper released on 30 May 2014.

This project will enable continued and expanded provision of Camp Coordination and Camp Management support to facilitate the rapid provision of life-saving services to IDPs living in camps and camp-like settlements as a result of the current crisis in South Sudan. Specifically the project will: • Provide rapid response funding mechanisms to CCCM NGO partners to ensure the continued delivery of life-saving CCCM support at the county level.
