UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs

Ongoing clashes between the South Sudanese People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) and the National Salvation Front (NAS – a non-signatory to R-ARCSS) continue to impede UNICEF and partners programme activities in southern Central . This month, intense fighting occurred along the Yei- road and in Lainya county. In Lainya, these clashes resulted in the suspension of UNICEF supported nutrition outreach activities in Bereka targeting 1,000 children and prevented an additional programme visit to the area. In Yei county, a supervisor for the UNICEF supported PHCC in Lasu was killed, leading to the temporary closure of the facility. The fighting also prevented a planned monitoring visit of UNICEF WASH activities in the area.

In the short to medium term, access conditions will largely depend on further implementation of R-ARCSS. If a stable transitional government can be formed in November and the issues of a unified armed force and the number and boundaries of states are resolved, the resulting positive security and political climate will further improve the delivery of services to children. However, this will also give rise to larger IDP and refugee returns and potentially disputes over land and resources, straining service delivery and undermining security. Bureaucratic and operational constraints will also likely continue due a weak economy, the infrequent payment of government salaries and the lack of financial transparency.

Yet uncertainty remains regarding the peace process. The unification of forces has stalled due to the lack of services and resources for the cantonment and training of forces, and there is disagreement over both when and how to resolve the boundaries issue. Even if a transitional government is formed, the failure to conclude these other key provisions increases the likelihood of renewed localized hostilities – particularly in parts of Upper , and in the Equatorias. This, in turn, would cause increased displacement and humanitarian needs while also hindering access. This potentiality is exacerbated by the presence of non-signatory groups – now aligned under the South Sudan Opposition Movement – who are likely to provoke further clashes and/or create incentives for discontent minority groups and commanders to defect to their ranks.

Floods are a chronic and acute problem in South Sudan exacerbating needs in areas where populations are affected by multiple concurrent shocks. Seasonal flooding during rainy season in South Sudan is a fact of life for many communities, and “normal” flooding is dealt with through coping mechanisms. Since July, South Sudan has experienced unusually heavy rainfall and subsequent flooding. The seasonal forecast of the National Meteorological Department predicted above normal rainfall from the third quarter of 2019. Elevated rains beginning in the third quarter brought increased malaria cases, incidents of drowning, disruption of basic services and infrastructure damage. Seasonal flooding experienced since June 2019 is much more significant than normal due to the effects of climate change, a stronger than usual positive phase of the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) has emerged with a greater- than-average rise of sea-surface temperatures in the western part of the Indian Ocean, off the east African coast, resulting in greater evaporation and increased precipitation inland throughout eastern Africa. The IOD’s current positive phase it as its strongest since 2006.

According to the August 2019 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis conducted, an estimated 4.54 million people (39 per cent of the population) are likely to face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity in September – December 2019. The prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) has increased significantly from 13.3 per cent in 2018 to 16.2 per cent in 2019 which is above the 15 per cent emergency threshold. According to the IPC acute malnutrition (AMN) projection analysis, seasonal improvement of the nutritional situation is expected during the harvest and post-harvest period due to availability of food stock at household, reduced morbidities of childhood illness as well as marginal improvement in infant and young child feeding practices. However, due to high prevalence of acute malnutrition experienced at the peak lean season, improvement will be marginal. A total of 1.3 million children are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition in 2020 including close to 292,000 children with SAM.

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 2

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 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.

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 authorities.

In 2019, the integrated rapid response mechanism (IRRM) is prioritizing hard-to-reach communities with urgent, life- saving interventions. WFP, FAO and UNICEF are deploying IRRMs to areas of the country that fit the criteria of extraordinary humanitarian needs in otherwise inaccessible locations. A partnership with WFP on biometric registration, under a Letter of Understanding signed between the two agencies in October 2018, is strengthening data collection, management, follow up, displacement tracking and harmonized reporting. In September 2019, UNICEF and WFP IRRM team successfully completed three IRRM missions in county of in Pagil, Nyanapol and Buot reaching a total of 19,980 individuals and 6,013 children under five years.

Between January – 30 Sep 2019, UNICEF completed a total of 25 IRRM missions with WFP using Biometric Registration (BMR) in hard to reach areas reaching a total of 227,449 Individuals and 44,591 children under five, sixteen missions were completed in Jonglei state in the areas of Chuil, New Fangak, Old Fangak, Kurwai, Keew, Kuernyang, Juaibor, Wai, Katdalok, Mogok, Kandak, Jiech, Normanyang, Pagil, Nyanapol and Buot. Eight missions were completed in state in the areas of Tonga, Wathjak, Ying, Raing, Nyangore, Ulang, Mathiang, Udier and one mission was completed in Dor, Mingkaman County of state.

UNICEF is currently delivering multi-sectoral services through the IRRM mechanism in the areas of Kaikuny and later moved to Buong of Akobo west County of Jonglei state and the team is expected to be on ground until mid-November 2019.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Health: UNICEF and partners have provided curative consultations to 121,275 people (61,875 females; 59,400 males) - including 42,324 children aged under five years. This lifesaving treatment was provided through health facilities, community outreach and IRRMs. Most consultations concerned malaria (38 per cent), followed by acute respiratory infections (12 per cent) and diarrhoea (5 per cent). An additional 4,884 children aged 6 months -15 years (2,491 females; 2,393 males) were immunized against measles through health facilities, outreach activities, reactive vaccination and IRRMs. In tandem, 5,492 families were provided with two long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets to help prevent malaria, especially among children and pregnant women. UNICEF also supported the provision of antenatal care services to 5,025 pregnant women and 1,615 deliveries took place with the assistance of skilled birth

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 attendants. Additionally, 1789 pregnant women were counselled and tested for HIV. Among these, 135 women tested positive and nine were initiated on antiretroviral therapy (ART).

A total of 3,386 suspected measles cases were reported, 159 confirmed IgM positive leading to 22 deaths, resulting in a case fatality rate of 0.6 per cent in eighteen counties and five Protection of Civilian sites (PoCs). Active measles transmission is ongoing in Yambio, South and Jur River, and plans for reactive vaccination campaigns have been finalized to implement reactive vaccination.

Nutrition: UNICEF in partnership with 40 Civil Society Organizations (CSO) is providing key nutrition interventions for children and women in South Sudan. From January to September 2019, more than 186,379 children affected by SAM were treated with high quality services. These services are in accordance with national CMAM guidelines, including the presence of trained staff, avoiding stock out of nutrition supplies and conducting monitoring/supportive supervision and integration minimum package of health and WASH intervention., representing 84 per cent of the annual SAM target. The performance indicators of SAM treatment were above the acceptable minimum Sphere standards, with a cure rate of 91.2 per cent, a defaulter rate of 5.7 per cent and a death rate of 0.4 per cent. During the same period, infant and young child feeding counselling services reached more than 1,209,148 caregivers of children, representing 123 per cent of the annual target.

Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH): A total of 463,439 individuals have so far been provided with access to safe drinking water (53 per cent sustained) through water trucking, construction of new and rehabilitation of the non- functional water facilities. UNICEF has also continued to provide support in operation and maintenance of water yards, Surface Water Treatment (SWAT) systems and Urban Water systems.

A total of 189,124 vulnerable individuals have been supported with access to basic sanitation facilities through the construction and rehabilitation of emergency communal latrines and household latrines. In relatively stable communities in and , community-led total sanitation (CLTS) is being implemented as the approach to improve sanitation. Follow-up is being conducted in Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Eastern Equatoria to establish communities as Open Defecation Free (ODF). It has also been reported that a total of 319,347 targeted population have been reached with key hygiene promotion messages and a total of 323,538 individuals have benefited from the distribution of core-pipeline supplies and WASH NFIs including jerrycans, buckets, soap and water treatment chemicals.

Education: UNICEF and partners continued providing education services to the most vulnerable and affected children in the 10 former . Cumulatively 611,617 children (258,147 girls) have been reached with education support from January to September 2019.

UNICEF supported the government in organising International Day of Girl Child under the theme "Educate a Girl to Change a Nation" in Malakal, Rumbek and Yambio in the last week of September to create demand for girls’ education in the country. Key officials, CSO representatives, Community, parents, teachers and more than 7,500 school children attended this campaign across the country. As part of community sensitization, activities on key education issues were organized. The activities involved PTAs/SMC members, community leaders and local administrative in Rumbek Centre, Rumbek East, Wulu, East and Yirol West.

UNICEF distributed education supplies to all accessible schools in Ulang in Upper Nile, Jonglei, and Yambio. In Northern Bahr al Ghazal education supplies (including school in a box, children’s kits, school in a box teacher’s kits, dignity kits, blockboards, school bags) were distributed to primary schools. In total, 1,871 items were distributed to 55,608 beneficiaries.

In Maban, UNICEF reopened Liang Primary School for children that was closed by the security, which has allowed 305 children (121 girls) to return to schools. Children can now access the school, however, the security situation in the area could potentially impact safe attendance. Eight additional temporary learning spaces and gender segregated latrines were established in three schools in Northern Bahr al Ghazal, and one school in Pibor. During the reporting period, in total, 13,099 children (5,724 girls) were enrolled in South Sudan.

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019

UNICEF has also provided trainings for 241 teachers (193 male, 48 female) during the reporting period in: Fangak (20), Ibba (16), Panyijar (45), Mudri East (28), Pibor (60) and Bor South (72). Teacher’s trainings include: ECD, life-skills curriculum and subject specific pedagogy. In addition, a total of 411 Parent Teacher’s Associations (PTA) were trained on their roles and responsibilities in Verthet, Gumuruk and Pibor.1

Child Protection: UNICEF and partners reached 28,282 children (12,920 girls; 15,362 boys) with psychosocial support (PSS) activities in child-friendly spaces, schools and other community-based interventions in 10 former states. Since the beginning of the year, cumulatively 755 unaccompanied and separated children (361 girls; 394 boys) have been registered for Family Tracing and Reunification services with 52 children (21 girls; 31 boys) registered in September alone. An additional, 12 children (7 girls; 5 boys) have been reunified with their primary caregiver during the reporting period.

On 26 September, a Facilitator’s Manual for Psychosocial Support (PSS) in Child Friendly Spaces, Schools and Communities and trainer’s guides was launched in , the manual and guide are practical and high-quality PSS tools that will improve the quality of PSS offered to children and caregivers across the country. Both resources were specifically developed for the South Sudan context and the manual is illustrated and available in English, Arabic and seven local languages. On the same day, a Practical Guide for the Socio-Economic Reintegration of Girls Formerly Associated with Armed Forces and Groups was also launched. The guide provides guidance to CP actors who are involved in release and reintegration activities. It was is made up of strategies and activities to improve reintegration assistance to girls in South Sudan. It is based on research conducted by Child Soldiers International and UNICEF in 2018 involving interviewing CAAFAG girls to better understand their needs. The launch was attended by Government representatives, donors and NGOs.

On 17 September, 21 (all boys) children associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG) were released in Aweil East. The release took place under the leadership of Country Task Force for Monitoring and Reporting (CTFMR), the National DDR Commission, and the SSPDF. The children had been captured by the SSPDF from opposition groups with the youngest being only 13 years old. Some had not seen their families for over three years. Two of the children, wounded by gunshots, were provided with medical care.

Cumulatively a total of 209,964 individuals (47,748 girls; 56,314 boys; 69,443 women; 36,459 men) living in high-risk mine areas were reached with life-saving mine risk education messages in Jonglei, Unity, Upper Nile, Greater Equatoria states since the beginning of the year.

UNICEF has reached 3,719 people (891 girls; 397 boys; 1,938 women; 493 men) with GBV prevention (including awareness raising), response services: individualized case management, PSS, skills building courses, access to women and girls friendly services, risk mitigation information and referrals for other specialized services. UNICEF has also trained 25 staff (12 women; 13 men) of implementing partners for two weeks as trainers for GBV prevention and response (Social norms, self-awareness, sexual violence, child marriage, risk mitigation and facilitation skills) in preparation for scale up of the Communities Care model of GBV prevention through social norms transformation.

Communication for Development (C4D): In the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI), UNICEF supported Maternal and Neonatal Tetanus Elimination (MNTE) campaigns through social mobilization and community engagement activities that include radio messaging, house-to-house mobilization, orientation of community influencers and display of information, education and communication materials, and street announcements. Over 1,000 trained community mobilizers were deployed to support the campaign in mobilizing and engaging communities especially women of child bearing age on the importance of Td vaccine. The campaigns were successfully implemented in Aweil, Terekeka, Twic, Gogrial East and Tonj East. Also, as part of the preparedness for the implementation of Phase One Measles Follow-up Campaign in November 2019, UNICEF participated in the micro-planning, development and data collection training for county, Payam and Boma level EPI teams.

Through Integrated Community Mobilization Network (ICMN) in September 2019, trained community mobilizers continued with the efforts to engage households in key positive behavioural practices and life-saving messages

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019 covering health, WASH, nutrition, education and child protection interventions. Through follow-up household visits by mobilizers this month, a total of 109,128 households (886,109 individuals) were reached with integrated key life-saving messages that include immunization, hygiene promotion, importance of education, ANC and infants and young child feeding practices, importance of birth notification and registration in Jonglei, , Lakes, and Eastern Equatoria. Meanwhile in Malakal, 80 community mobilizers received refresher training on integrated community mobilization and the importance of ICMN work.

Cash-Based Programming: In 2019, UNICEF launched a South Sudan cash strategy, increased their internal capacity on cash-based programming and began a Water Voucher project in Wau. UNICEF and Oxfam, in collaboration with the Urban Water Corporation and WFP, will provide emergency water vouchers to 24,000 of the most vulnerable families in Wau. UNICEF has developed two cash and voucher pilots to be rolled out within the IRRM missions as well developing pilots for Child Protection and the Yambio field office.

UNICEF conducted a mapping and analysis of social protection in South Sudan using Inter Agency Social Protection Assessments (ISPA) Core Diagnostic Tool (CODI) modified to fit context. This was endorsed by the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare as well as key actors working with Social Protection trough cash-based programming.

Additionally, UNICEF has become a member of the technical working group on the Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) led by REACH and the Inter-Agency Cash Working Group. The JMMI will support organisations with timely market information and improve coordination among cash actors in the country with UNICEF contributing with timely price monitoring. In September, UNICEF supported with data collection in Yambio and Malakal.

Ebola Preparedness: In line with the national Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) Preparedness Plan, UNICEF together with its partners continued implementing risk communication, social mobilization and community engagement interventions with the aim to enhance knowledge and trust and scale up the community engagement in Ebola high-risk areas. This month, 98 trained community mobilizers reached 17,010 households (76,365 individuals) through house-to-house mobilization with preventive messages in the residential areas of Juba. The mobilizers carried out sensitization sessions reaching over 35,000 people with EVD preventive messages in churches, mosques, market places and health facilities. Also, through mass awareness efforts targeting children, a total of 123 schools with over 30,000 school children and teachers were reached. Jointly with C4D Implementing partners in , Nimule, Yei, Morobo, Lainya, Maridi, Yambio, Tombura and Nzara, a total of 372 community mobilizers implemented mix communication and community engagement strategies that include house-to-house mobilization, school sensitization and health education that have been conducted through health facilities, markets, churches and waterpoint sessions. In total, 65,564 individuals and 132 community influencers were reached with EVD prevention and control messages.

UNICEF and partners continued to enhance IPC WASH measures in health facilities in high-risk locations and provided technical and coordination support at national and state levels. UNICEF led the IPC WASH technical working group (TWG) in the revision of the Operational Plan for August-December 2019). An estimated US$ 4 million is required to improve IPC WASH in prioritized health facilities, public places and isolation units. The IPC WASH TWG revised SOPs for EVD care facilities (holding areas and isolation units) and frontline health facilities. As part of scale up, UNICEF partners (SSDO in Yei, NSDO in Nimule and Oxfam in Jubek) are conducting IPC WASH assessments in additional health facilities and public places like schools, markets and churches) to inform prioritization, quantify gaps and needs. UNICEF and its partners continue to improve and sustain WASH and IPC services in the four existing isolation units, seven holding units and 120 frontline health care facilities. Water supply, hand washing facilities, waste management facilities and training and mentorship on IPC WASH ongoing.

A training for the entire nutrition section on storytelling and gathering of human interest stories was conducted in the reporting period, and UNICEF trained journalists in Torit on Ebola reporting as part of a UN Communication Group initiative. The Country Office produced several stories documenting UNICEF’s work in South Sudan, including one on religious leaders raising awareness on Ebola and teacher incentives. The external communication section also supported a large donor visit to Yambio.

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT SEPTEMBER 2019

Supply and Logistics During the reporting month, multi sectoral supplies valued at USD 1,641,125 were dispatched directly to implementing partners country-wide and through warehouse to warehouse transfers. The dispatches comprised of Nutrition, WASH, Health and Education supplies delivered to various locations across South Sudan.

A total of twenty-three, 40 metric-tonne trucks were dispatched from the UNICEF warehouses to Bor, Rumbek, , Aweil, Torit and Kaoeta using Logistics Cluster Humanitarian Road Convoys and by Air to Nyanapol, Pagil, Bout and Normanyang using the Logistics Cluster Aircrafts.

Media and External Communications The external communication section supported the release of the food security update for South Sudan, together with WFP and FAO. The three UN Agencies estimates that 1.3 million children will be suffering from acute malnutrition next year. Two new handbooks, designed to help children recover from stress, anxiety and trauma, were launched in Juba. These handbooks will be important tools to assist some of the most vulnerable children in South Sudan. As part of the launch, the Country Office issued a press release and organised a press briefing. UNICEF South Sudan contributed to shedding light on 29 million children born into conflict and provided a quote from a field worker to the global press release. As part of the commemoration of the Convention of the Rights of the Child in November, UNICEF South Sudan sent a letter to the President of South Sudan asking for the country’s recommitment to children’s rights.

The Country Office briefing notes on all programmatic areas were updated and published on the COs website. Additionally, the web page was updated with two budget briefing notes (the national and the education budget) and two evaluation reports (on education and children associated with armed forces and armed groups). The external communication section also assisted two national committees for UNICEF with gathering materials for their fundraising campaigns.

Security UNICEF and its partners are facing an increasing volume of bureaucratic impediments and operational interference, largely due to efforts by local opposition and government authorities to generate financial resources. This month, three nutrition and health facilities were closed in Jongeli in protest against the harmonized incentive scale recently released by the Ministry of Health - which has resulted in the reduction of incentives for some health and nutrition workers. A further nutrition site was also temporarily closed after local youths protested that UNICEF’s partner did not recruit a staff member of their choice. In Fangak, the local authorities evicted UNICEF’s partner from their compound and requested they begin renting a different compound of the authorities choosing.

There continues to be frequent incidents of intimidation of UNICEF and partner staff and the theft of assets. In Lankien this month, UNICEF partner staff where physically harassed by local youths who complained about the level of incentives for health workers and the recruitment of staff who are not from the area. The youths subsequently forcefully closed the health and nutrition site until the intervention of local authorities led to it reopening. In Jongeli, another nutrition site was broken into and several cartons of special nutritious food were stolen.
