UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT NOVEMBER 2019 Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Since the signing of the Revitalized Agreement on the Resolution of Conflict in South Sudan (R-ARCSS) in September 2018 the country has experienced more stability and improved access to previously hard-to-reach locations, yet the operating environment continues to hinder secure, consistent and principled humanitarian access to vulnerable women and children. Bureaucratic impediments and operational interference persist in many parts of the country and inter-communal violence and hostilities continue to inhibit humanitarian programming. Given the onset of the dry season, incidents of inter-communal violence associated with cattle raiding and hostilities between the government and NAS are likely to intensify. Fighting between the SSPDF and NAS continued in Central , and in . Inter-communal violence forced UNICEF staff to seek shelter during the fighting. Clashes in the PoC and outside of Pibor also led to the temporary suspension of humanitarian services affecting over 10,000 children in need.

Future access conditions will hinge on developments with the R-ARCSS. If a stable transitional government is formed and a unified armed force and the number and boundaries of states are resolved, the resulting positive security and political climate will improve the delivery of services to children. At the same time, this will also likely lead to increased returns, giving rise to disputes over land and resources, straining already limited service delivery and undermining security. However, there is still uncertainty regarding successful implementation of the peace agreement. Despite the recent extension of the pre-transitional period for 100 days, the unification of forces has stalled and the deadlock over how to resolve the boundaries issue persists. There are also reports of government efforts to recruit armed fighters outside of the unification process and fighters abandoning cantonment sites. If substantive progress is not made soon, there is a high likelihood of localized and limited scale hostilities – particularly in parts of , and the Equatorias – which could also provoke a wider confrontation. This would cause increased displacement and humanitarian needs while hindering access. This potentiality is exacerbated by non-signatory armed groups, who are likely to provoke further clashes and create incentives for discontent groups and/or commanders to defect to their ranks.

The humanitarian caseload due to multiple risks remains high. About two thirds of the country’s population remains in need of humanitarian assistance (51% females, 49% males) and this high caseload is likely to continue in 2020, illustrating the multi-faceted nature of the causes of the protracted humanitarian needs in the country. The widespread impact of flooding is still being felt among over 900,000 people, including 490,000 children who reside in most affected states - Greater Bahr el Ghazal, Upper Nile, Jonglei and Greater Equatoria. By the end of November, more than 100,000 flood victims accross South Sudan had received lifesaving assistance from UNICEF since the beginning of the crisis in the end of October 2019. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis conducted in August 2019, 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) increased significantly from 13.3 per cent in 2018 to 16.2 per cent in June/July 2019 which is above the 15 per cent emergency threshold. According to the IPC AMN projection analysis, seasonal improvement of acute malnutrition situation is expected during the harvest and post-harvest period due to availability of food stock at household levels, 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 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 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 SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT NOVEMBER 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 is continuing 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.

In 2019, the integrated rapid response mechanism (IRRM) continued to prioritize 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 November 2019, UNICEF and WFP completed two IRRM missions in Pieri and Yuai as part of the flood response programme in Uror county of reaching a total of 41,447 individuals and 9,560 children under five years. Between January and 30 November 2019, UNICEF completed a total of 30 IRRM missions with WFP/IOM using Biometric Registration (BMR) in hard to reach areas. The missions reached a total of 289,512 Individuals and 59,114 children under five. UNICEF is currently delivering services to children and women through the IRRM mechanism in two locations (Pathai and Partet) as part of the floods response in Uror county of Jonglei state.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Health: During the reporting period, UNICEF supported the National Government and State Ministry of Health authorities (SMOH) to provide life-saving emergency integrated primary health care services to populations in former Upper Nile, Jonglei and other states affected by the floods. UNICEF and partners provided curative consultations to 161,654 people (87,571 female;74,083 male) - including 57,083 children aged under five years. The majority of children and women seen during consultations were for the treatment of malaria (42 per cent), acute respiratory infections (16 per cent) and diarrhoea (10 percent). An additional 444,919 children aged 6 months-15 years were immunized against measles through a reactive vaccination campaign and IRRM missions. A total of 16,698 children and pregnant women were provided with long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets through UNICEF and partners to help prevent malaria. In addition, approximately 27,308 with long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets have been dispatched to counties in Jonglei and Upper Nile to support malaria prevention efforts for host and displaced populations affected by the floods and will be distributed in December.

UNICEF supported the provision of antenatal care services to 6,507 pregnant women and 1,692 deliveries took place with the assistance of skilled birth attendants. A total of 2,686 pregnant women were counselled and tested for HIV, among these, 99 women tested positive but only 23 were initiated on antiretroviral therapy (ART). Supply shortages due to issues in last mile delivery experienced by UNDP (Global fund principal recipient) are some of the causative factors for this high drop in the Prevention of Mother to Child Transmission (PMTCT) cascade of care. As of 30 November, a total of 3,043 suspected measles cases were reported, with 112 confirmed IgM positive leading to 33 deaths, resulting in a case fatality rate of 1 per cent in nineteen counties and five Protection of Civilian sites (PoCs). UNICEF continues to respond to ongoing outbreaks in Ikotos, and Budi counties and is strengthening preparedness and response programmes with other partners.

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT NOVEMBER 2019

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 November 2019, a total of 221,893 children affected by SAM were treated with high quality nutrition services, representing 85 per cent of the annual burden. The performance indicators of SAM treatment were above the acceptable minimum Sphere standards, with a cure rate of 91.6 per cent, a defaulter rate of 5.5 per cent and a death rate of 0.4 per cent. During the same period, infant and young child feeding counselling services reached 1,506,765 caregivers of children, out of the projected 1,539,744 pregnant and lactating women, representing 98% of the annual caseload.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH): The WASH programme continued to provide critical life-saving WASH interventions through the provision of access to safe water, basic sanitation and hygiene services to the vulnerable and affected host communities, people in POC sites and IDPs in collective sites. As a result, 5,493 individuals were provided with access to safe drinking water through water trucking, construction of new and rehabilitation of existing water facilities during the reporting month. UNICEF continued to provide support in the operation and maintenance of Water yards, Surface Water Treatment (SWAT) systems and Urban Water supply systems in key states namely, , and Jonglei.

During the reporting period, 5,657 vulnerable people were supported with access to basic sanitation facilities through the construction and rehabilitation of emergency communal latrines and household latrines mainly in Unity and Jonglei states. In relatively stable communities in and , community-led total sanitation (CLTS) is being implemented as the approach to improve the sanitation coverage of 127 villages. Since the beginning of the year, a total of 77 villages were declared as open defecation free since January. Follow up is being conducted for the previously triggered village in Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Eastern Equatoria to establish communities that have attained open defecation free (ODF) status. A total of 390,727 people were reached with key hygiene promotion messages, in addition 142,302 people benefitting from the distribution of core-pipeline supplies and WASH NFIs including jerrycans, buckets, soap and water treatment chemicals since January.

Education: The flooding remained a major factor impacting children’s education, in Upper Nile, Eastern Equatoria and Pibor states during the reporting month, with 490,000 children estimated affected across the country. The 2019 South Sudan Certificate of Primary Education examinations took place between 25-29 November 2019. UNICEF and partners, including government authorities, ensured that exams were delivered to 55,193 children (22,350 girls; 32,843 boys) across South Sudan including in In-Opposition (IO) controlled areas. In Upper Nile, 3,169 children (1,042 girls; 2,127 boys) completed the primary examination, including in Maiwut and Latjor states which are IO controlled areas. Prior to this exam sitting, children in the two states had not completed the South Sudan Certificate of Primary Examinations since 2012 making them prone to drop out of school or cross to Ethiopia, to pursue further education. UNICEF supported the Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MoGEI) in transporting examination papers from Kuajok airfield and ferry them to their destinations. A total of 6,027 children (1,595 girls; 4,432 boys) completed the exams in State. A total of 154 children (28 girls and 126 boys) completed primary examinations administered in Gumruk, Jebel Boma and Pochalla areas. A total of 18,129 children (7,574 girls; 10,555 boys) who took the primary education examination were directly affected by the floods. UNICEF provided tents that were used as a temporary space where children could complete the exams. In Pibor, UNICEF provided transportation for 154 children (28 girls; 126 boys) to complete their exams in . In Pibor, the most affected area, existing spaces in the schools have been rearranged and UNICEF supported the initiative by delivering 25 blackboards to the ministry for the establishment of open air classrooms.

Child Protection: During November, UNICEF and partners reached 18,865 children (8,020 girls; 10,845 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 890 unaccompanied and separated children (441 girls; 449 boys) have been registered for Family Tracing and Reunification services with 100 children (42 girls; 58 boys) registered in November alone. A total of 21 boys that were associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG) that were released in September in Aweil East were reunified and reintegrated into their community via community- based reintegration programming. Cumulatively a total of 131,283 individuals (40,460 girls, 46,093 boys; 26,198 women, 18,532 men) who are living in high-risk mine areas were reached with life-saving mine risk education messages in Jonglei, Unity, Greater Equatoria since the beginning of the year. The final verification of individual status of 205

CAAFAG children (55 girls; 150 boys) and 122 Other Vulnerable Children (36 girls; 86 boys) in Ngo Halema of Wau state is still ongoing and will be concluded by early January.

UNICEF has reached 21,323 people (4,938 girls, 4,154 boys, 7,305 women; 4,926 men) with gender-based violence (GBV) prevention (including awareness raising), response services, including individualized case management, PSS, skills building courses, access to women and girls friendly services and referrals for other specialized services. GBV risk mitigation measures have been implemented within Nutrition, Wash and Health interventions. In a least five field locations UNICEF partners supported awareness activities in line with the 16 Days of Activism against Gender- Based Violence campaign.

Communication for Development (C4D): UNICEF continued to support flood response programmes across the affected areas through Integrated Community Mobilization Networks (ICMN). This month, trained community mobilizers conducted a series of social mobilization and community engagement activities with a focus on disease prevention and control. A total of 22 community mobilizers were deployed in Renk during an Oral Cholera Vaccination (OCV) campaign to educate communities on the importance of the vaccine and other lifesaving hygiene practices during the period 18-22 November. The campaign was supported with mass and interpersonal communication interventions mainly focusing on megaphone announcements, house-to-house and village to village visits and church/mosque announcements. Awareness sessions in schools, marketplaces, waterpoints, health facilities and sensitization of community leaders reached over 87,000 people. In Warrap, 55 trained mobilizers reached 2,921 households with key messages focusing on acute watery diarrhoea/cholera prevention. In Greater Jonglei including Bor, Twic East, Duk, Pibor and other parts of , mobilizers reached a total of 17, 812 households /124,684 individuals (54,860 males and 69,824 females) with lifesaving key messages on positive health seeking behaviours. The mobilizers visited 18 cattle camps and 19 schools reaching 1,896 pupils, (1,043 males; 853 females) by raising awareness on the importance of routine immunization, antenatal care (ANC) visits for pregnant women, importance of Education and good hygiene practices for their families.

UNICEF in collaboration with Children Protection actors commemorated the anniversary of the Convention on the Rights of the Child across the country. Multiple events with the theme “Embrace and Respect the Rights of Children in South Sudan with a focus on protecting children against Child Marriages,” were supported by UNICEF. The communication for development team led social mobilization and community engagement activities that include radio messaging, launch events, engagement of schools, orientation of community stakeholders and display of information, education and communication materials, and street announcements. As an effort to improve routine immunization, UNICEF supported the training of 90 EPI vaccinators deployed by partners with interpersonal communication skills and community engagement approaches in Rubkona, Guit, Leer and Mayiandit. The training aimed at enhancing vaccinators’ skills including an effective two-way communication with mothers/caregivers.

Cash-Based Programming: During the year, UNICEF launched a South Sudan cash strategy and began a water voucher project in Wau. Since September, UNICEF and Oxfam, in collaboration with the Urban Water Corporation and WFP have been distributing water vouchers to vulnerable families in Wau. Thus far 8,728 people (2,182 households) have been provided with water through the voucher systems in five kiosks. Complementary water infrastructure work including elevated reservoir tanks is underway, to expand the number of operational kiosks.

UNICEF supported the Ministry of Gender, Child and Social Welfare (MoGCSW) in a national mapping and analysis of social protection programmes using the Inter Agency Social Protection Assessments (ISPA) Core Diagnostic Tool (CODI). Following this exercise, the National Social Protection Working Group (SPWG) supported by UNICEF, started the development of a national M&E framework. There is a plan to develop a roadmap for formalizing the inter-linkages among various management information systems (MIS) used by different programmes in 2020. Additionally, UNICEF as a member of the Joint Market Monitoring Initiative (JMMI) led by REACH and the Inter-Agency Cash Working Group, supported data collection in and in an effort to share timely market information and improve coordination among cash actors in the country.

Ebola Preparedness: UNICEF continued supporting the implementation of the national Ebola virus disease (EVD) preparedness plan by co-leading the risk communication, social mobilization and community engagement/psychosocial support (RCSMCE/PSS) pillar and the case management / infection prevention and control 5

UNICEF SOUTH SUDAN SITUATION REPORT NOVEMBER 2019

(IPC) pillar. Under the RCSM pillar, a total of 29,000 households (144,874 people) were reached with EVD prevention and control messages through house-to-house mobilization by trained community mobilizers across the EVD high risk areas. The mobilizers also carried out awareness interventions in 90 schools, reaching over 30,000 school pupils and teachers and engaged communities through awareness sessions at health facilities, markets, churches, mosques, waterpoints, screening points and playgrounds, reaching 7,638 people with EVD prevention messages.

In addition, as part of the strategy for building trust and partnership with communities, six community leader sensitization sessions were carried out with 332 participants from Juba, Yei, Morobo, Lainya and Kajo-Keji communities. In addition, 61 community/religious leaders, including two traditional healers were reached at Nimule River Site which is a point of entry. Through the broadcast of radio messages in 18 local stations across the EVD high risk areas, a total of 4,160 jingles and six talk-shows were aired educating communities on preventive measures including addressing misconceptions and rumours. As part of ongoing rumour tracking, management and community feedback, trained community mobilizers documented and addressed 25 rumours and misconceptions on EVD across the EVD high risk areas.

UNICEF continued working with partners and national stakeholders on the development of EVD-specific PSS training modules targeting child protection actors and community workers including social mobilizers, to be held in January. In addition, child protection focused IEC materials (such as prevention of family separation, counselling, identifying signs of distress etc) targeting children and communities at risk of EVD have been developed and are being printed.

Under the IPC/WASH pillar, UNICEF and partners continued to enhance the capacity of frontline workers by providing essential WASH and IPC services in existing isolation units in Juba, Yambio, Yei and Nimune and five holding units set up within frontline health facilities in high risk states. Simulations are being held on a bi-weekly basis to keep isolation staff more engaged and further improve their skills and competence to safely manage suspected EVD cases. Repair and rehabilitation of water supply and sanitation facilities was conducted in 13 health facilities. A total of 32 hand washing facilities were installed in health facilities and public places in high risk states. In addition, 17 health facilities received infection prevention and control supplies. To date, 148 health facilities out of a target of 230 have received support from UNICEF and its partners with essential WASH services.

Supply and Logistics During the reporting month, multi sectoral supplies valued at US$ 3.5 million 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 35 trucks weighing 40 metric tonnes and 20 metric tonnes were dispatched from the UNICEF warehouses to Bor, Rumbek, Aweil, Wau, Yei, Kuajok, Kajo-Keji, Yambio, Mundri and Central Equatoria using Logistics Cluster Humanitarian Road Convoys and by Air to Bentiu, Pigi, Duk, Lankien, Akobo, Longechuk, Uror, Ayod, Nyiror, Pochalla, Maiwut, Fashoda, Manyo, Fangak, Malakal, Maban, Mayendit, Nasir, Ulang, Melut, Renk, Nyal, Ganyiel, Mayom and Lafon using the commercial air charter and Logistics Cluster aircraft.

Media and External Communications The floods, affecting 490,000 children in South Sudan, have been a great focus for the communication section. A press release on the financial needs of UNICEF to respond to the crisis was issued on 5 November. A follow-up press release on the UNICEF response was issued later in the month. With support from the communication section, a flash appeal was launched. UNICEF also supported the Humanitarian Coordinator on his second mission to flood affected areas. Several media interviews on the floods were given during the reporting period, e.g. Voice of America and Devex and the global UNICEF site published a photo essay from the flood affected areas in South Sudan. UNICEF hosted the German National Committee for UNICEF, focusing on the nutrition situation. Journalist Florian Harm was part of the German delegation and his daily newsletter, which was also tweeted, made South Sudan a trending hashtag on twitter in Germany during this visit. World Children’s Day and 30 years of child rights were commemorated across South Sudan under a call to action to end child marriages. In Juba, hundreds of students were marching in the streets demanding their rights to be respected. A series of children making vows to end child marriages was launched in the Country Office social media channels. As part of putting children on the forefront, students took over the national radio stations (Radio Miraya and Eye Radio) for the day. In November, a press release on how pneumonia is affecting children in

South Sudan was issued, a donor recognition mission creating murals in the field commenced and UNICEF continued to co-chair the UN Communication Group and the UN communication group on EVD in South Sudan.

Security At the moment, South Sudan is in the 100-day extension period to form the new R-TGoNU transitional government. There is significant pressure on the parties to solve the outstanding issues around security and borders. The issue of borders is the most difficult, and there have been local demonstrations against moving back to the 10 states. Such a move would create very clear winners and losers, and it would be difficult for the parties to maintain their alliances under those circumstances – this makes finding compromises very difficult. It is difficult to predict how the recent US targeted sections will influence the situation. At the same time, there are serious difficulties around maintaining the cantonment of opposition forces, and the cantonment sites have been partially abandoned, with some human rights consequences. At the same time, local violence continues, including very violent cattle raiding in States, with over 50 people killed over a three-day period in early December. There has been a spike in violent crime within the capital with extortion, harassment, break-ins and road traffic accidents remaining as the main concerns for humanitarians. These types of criminality are witnessed throughout the country, directly impacting the humanitarian community. An armed attack against an NGO compound in Maban, has triggered consultations and a process to support improved security for NGOs.

Funding UNICEF wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all public and private donors for the contributions received to date. There remains an urgent need for additional donor support to close the funding gap, reach our targets and provide lifesaving interventions for the people of South Sudan. As of 30 November 2019, there is a funding gap of 52 per cent against UNICEF South Sudan's 2019 HAC requirements of US$ 179.2 million. Funding available under HAC 2019 include carry-forward funds of US$ 26.1 million from 2018 and US$ 71 million funds received since January 2019.
