In Aweil, fighting between the South Sudan United Front (SSUF) and the SSPDF lead to the suspension of access outside of Aweil town into other parts of the state, hampering programme activities. Similar clashes also took place outside of Raja, leading to the restriction of humanitarian missions outside of the town. In Maiwut county, clashes between the SPLA-IO and members of the Ciewaw community forced the displacement of 33,000 people, the suspension of programmes and the evacuation of staff. The conflict between the SSPDF and NAS in Central Equatorias also continues to limit access to an estimated 10,000 displaced and other vulnerable people in Otogo, Mugwo, Wudabi and Lujulo payams. Heavy rains and poor road infrastructure have caused large parts of Upper Nile and Jonglei to become inaccessible by road. Despite opportunities to move by air and river, this only provides a solution for some locations. As a result, various programme activities have to be scaled down or suspended. For example, the provision of supplies, training and oversight is not possible at six of 17 schools UNICEF supports in Baidit and Jalle payams despite their proximity to Bor town. UNICEF and partners also faced several issues of operational interference. In Fangak, a health partners assets and compound were seized by SPLA-IO authorities and forced to leave the location. In a separate event, the authorities also forced the temporarily closure of a partners’ nutrition activities after demanding higher incentives for health workers and to handover a portion of their supplies to the authorities. However, upon further consultative meetings with the authorities, and nutrition and health partners, nutrition service has resumed in the area. Continuation of improved access conditions since early 2019 will largely depend on developments leading up to the formation of a Revitalized Transitional Government of National Unity (R-TGoNU) in November. If a sufficient security force can be trained to provide security in Juba and Riek Machar returns, it is possible that favourable access conditions will prevail in the medium term. Paradoxically, positive indicators of restored peace in the country may spur returns, giving rise to disputation over land rights and access to resources and services, with the resulting insecurity limiting access. UNICEF and partners will also continue to face a range of bureaucratic impediments and operational interference from both government and opposition authorities. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis conducted in August 2019, 6.35 million people (54 per cent of the population) are classified in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity, among whom an estimated 1.7 million are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity and 10,000 people are in Catastrophe (IPC phase 5). Compared to the same period in 2018, there is a five per cent reduction in the proportion of people facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity. In the period of September to December 2019, seasonal harvests become available with an estimated 4.54 million people (39 per cent of the population) likely to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity. Projection of January to April 2020, the food security situation will deteriorate and an estimated 5.5 million people (47 per cent of the total population) are likely face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity. The drivers of the child malnutrition are mainly sub-optimal child care and feeding practices driven by food insecurity, high morbidity, poor water and sanitation. Only 13 per cent of children aged 6-23 months received minimum dietary diversity, 23 per cent of them received minimum meal frequency, whereas only 7 per cent of them received minimum acceptable diet. Two out every five children aged 6-59 months reported fever two weeks prior to the survey, which is usually associated with malaria. Furthermore, 25 per cent and 22 per cent of the children reported diarrhoea and respiratory infection during the same period. Access to sanitation in the county is also very poor with only 21 per cent of the households across South Sudan reportedly with access to latrines. Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination UNICEF is co-leading three Clusters and one Area of Responsibility (AoR) out of a total of 10 clusters and three AoRs currently active in the country. UNICEF co-leads at national level both the Child Protection AoR and the Education Cluster with Save the Children, the Nutrition Cluster with Concern, Action Against Hunger (ACF) and the World Food Program (WFP) and the WASH Cluster with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). Memorandums of Understanding have been signed between UNICEF and each co-lead agency at country level to guide effective and efficient coordination and ensure clear roles and responsibilities of each party. UNICEF co-led clusters and AoR are all part of the Inter-Cluster Working Group (ICWG) led by OCHA at the national and sub-national levels. 2 UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT August 2019 UNICEF participates in the in-country interagency PSEA Task Force, which functions under the auspices of the Deputy SRSG/ Resident Coordinator (RC) / Humanitarian Coordinator (HC), and plays an active role to advocate for better protection of children against SEA. Humanitarian Strategy In 2019, in line with UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) and the inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), UNICEF continues to strengthen and expand its programmes. UNICEF provides life-saving humanitarian assistance through a timely and effective integrated package of nutrition, health, WASH, child protection and education services delivered through interconnected, complementary responses. To ensure that support has a wide reach, services are delivered through static operations, direct outreach and rapid response modalities. UNICEF’s operations are led by its 13 field offices to enable wide coverage and quality programming across the country. UNICEF’s leadership of the nutrition and WASH clusters and child protection area of responsibility and its co-leadership of the education cluster enable strategic planning, coordinated response, capacity building of partners and advocacy both at the national and state levels. Local partners make up approximately 51 per cent of UNICEF’s partnerships in South Sudan and UNICEF is investing in increasing the localization of aid in South Sudan through capacity building and targeted resource allocation. Following the signing of the R-ARCSS in September 2018, UNICEF is investing in building the capacities of central and sub-national state

  • UNMISS Press Statement
    United Nations Mission in South Sudan UNMISS Press Statement 09 December 2011 UNMISS SRSG HILDE JOHNSON URGES STEPS TO END CYCLE OF VIOLENCE IN JONGLEI STATE The killings this week in the villages in Jalle Payam, Bor South County, as well as in Twic East County, underline the importance of the Jonglei Peace Process and the urgent need to move forward. The attack on Jalle that took place Monday, 5 December, killed more than 40 villagers (mainly women, children, and the elderly) and wounded many others. Buildings and other dwellings were burned and large numbers of livestock were stolen. UNMISS condemns the attack and calls on the Government of the Republic of South Sudan (GRSS), traditional leaders and other authorities to strengthen efforts to put an immediate end to any further violence, and to identify and bring to justice the perpetrators of these crimes. There is particular concern over reports of mobilization of armed fighters in key communities in Jonglei State. Hilde F. Johnson, Special Representative of the Secretary General to South Sudan, called on the GRSS and traditional leaders to stop any such mobilization. “This cycle of violence has to stop," she said. "While respecting their need to protect themselves, the communities of Jonglei should be encouraged to refrain from mobilizing their fighters since this will only perpetuate the grisly cycle of mass violence and retaliation". The peace process must expand to include all communities in Jonglei State, she added. UNMISS continues to support the church-led, inclusive Jonglei Peace Process, in particular the preparations for the Luo Nuer-Murle peace conference, and the All Jonglei State Peace Conference in January between the six main communities in the state, including the Dinka.
