Baseline Report Emergency Response in the Greater Region in : Agriculture and Food Security, Health, Nutrition, and WASH Program Support

Methods and Data Sources To supplement the baseline data gathered from existing health and nutrition sites, from compiling and analyzing clinical registers and reports submitted to the Ministry of Health and other stakeholders, an end- of-project KAP survey conducted in February, 2019 provided additional data for the health and nutrition sectors. Also, a baseline survey on targeted beneficiaries in Koch and for AFS and WASH in April, 2019 also measured prevailing conditions, provided data and is informing targets for the project.

Baseline data for AFS and WASH activities in Fangak and Koch Counties was collected using existing WRSS project staff conducting meetings with authorities, focus group discussions with community members, private home visits with a select number of randomly chosen beneficiaries and through stakeholders meeting with other partners working in these areas which helped in mapping out operational areas.

Locations and Timing Data is gathered from locations covered in the project in Bentiu PoC, Koch County, and Fangak County. Baseline data for health and nutrition activities is gathered from existing health facilities and/or nutrition sites as well as the reporting done in the former project period. Data for AFS and WASH activities has been collected in initial months of the project in areas where activities will be implemented. Data was collected from Boaw, Gany, Jaak, Kuachlual, Ngony, Norbor, and Pakur payams in Koch County and Kuemduok, Kuernyang, and Tiep payams in Fangak County.

Limitations and Mitigating Measures The biggest potential limitation for project monitoring is access to certain project areas in Fangak and Koch Counties. WRSS uses a boat to access remote locations in Fangak, but access remains fickle with rising and lowering water levels at different times of year. There are also challenges in working with the in-Opposition authorities in Fangak County who have demanded direct payment of taxes for things including staff salaries, landing fees, and fees for conducting trainings and workshops. With the support of the US Embassy and OFDA staff, some of the challenges have been overcome, most notably the readmission of relocatable staff required to provide adequate supervision and monitoring of all project activities, and WRSS continues to negotiate with all partners.

In Koch County, different areas are governed by government and In-Opposition (IO) authorities and territory changes hands from time-to-time. Certain areas are made inaccessible by authorities, especially the IO, when fighting occurs or when local populations vacate an area. WASH and activities proposed for Koch County do not depend on the establishment of static locations but are designed to be delivered in communities using the Koch town base as a hub.

Analysis Most of the findings from the baseline data are as expected from the ongoing health, nutrition, and WASH activities continued into the new cooperative agreement. Targets have been set based on this data. Under this project, health and nutrition activities implemented in Bentiu PoC and Fangak County are continued from the previous award (#720FDA18CA00013). The activities have remained largely the same with modest scale-up in some areas. AFS has been re-introduced in Fangak and Koch under this project with complementary funding from SSHF in Fangak and FAO in Koch. WASH activities continue in Fangak but have also been re-introduced in Koch.

After receiving further information and analysis from World Relief’s KAP survey conducted in February 2019, some targets have been increased or decreased, so that they are more realistic. Changes to individual targets are noted in the Findings table above. In analyzing the targets WRSS staff took into consideration the baseline and end-of-project data, inputs needed from other partners, climate and geographical limitations, and others.
