Introduction The World Bank’s portfolio for South Sudan contains a number of International Development Association’s (IDA) investment projects aimed at improving local governance and service delivery. Although the World Bank (WB) has put in place measures to mitigate political security and fiduciary risks, there remains a gap in managing operational risk in terms of monitoring and evaluation of its investment projects in South Sudan following the resumption of armed conflict in 2013. Due to its strong operational capacity and presence in South Sudan, WB contracted the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in June 2018 to implement Third Party Monitoring (TPM) activities of its Rapid Results Health Project (RRHP) currently being implemented in former Upper Nile State and Jonglei State, and the Local Government and Service Delivery Project (LOGOSEED).

  • 1 Baseline Report Emergency Response in the Greater Upper Nile
    Baseline Report Emergency Response in the Greater Upper Nile Region in South Sudan: 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 Fangak 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.
