Sector 1: Nutrition Overview of Activities: The Nutrition sector emphasizes Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) through screening, referral, treatment and follow-up for malnourished children under five, pregnant and lactating women as well as tracking defaulters to programs by organizing home to home visits by CNVs. A community education component (MIYCN) focuses on behavior change for mothers and care takers on appropriate care giving practices for young children. For the capacity building, many training sessions were organized as well as on to the job trainings. World Relief supported nutrition services in Unity and Jonglei states in South Sudan. • In Koch county unity state, 4 Outpatient therapeutic programs (OTP) and Targeted supplementary Feeding program (TSFP) and 1 stabilization center (SC) in Koch PHCC were operational as of the end of the award period. At other times during the grant, up to 10 OTP/TSFP sites, but some were closed due to inability to access the sites or because the population had evacuated the area. • In Fangak County, Jonglei state World Relief operates 6 OTP/TSFP services during these period • In Bentiu (Rubkona County (PoC). World Relief operates 1OTP/TSFP in sector 2 and 1 OTP in sector 5 of POC. Unexpected challenges: • Throughout June 2017 – May 2018, Insecurity continued to be experienced in Koch resulting to only 4 nutrition sites operational, 4 suspended and 2 remained closed due to no population in the area. • Inadequate logistical support in terms of cars to transport nutrition supplies from the UNICEF and WFP warehouse to the nutrition center. • Delay of nutrition supplies from WFP warehouses to the nutrition centers resulting to no distribution for TSFP in all nutrition sites. • Delay in delivery of OTP supplies by UNICEF. Links to other programs or partners: • Integration of the nutrition activities with FSL e.g. Care takers of discharged children from TSFP been absorbed to FSL programme • FSL members are included in the Mother Support Groups • Integration of Nutrition to WASH ,WASH sector to dig pit latrine in nutrition centers • Integration of nutrition and GBV by conducting GBV awareness in nutrition centers • WRSS participates in various nutrition coordination meetings with SMOH, UNICEF, and WFP including Cluster meetings at the national and state levels and with other nutrition partners on weekly and monthly basis. WRSS also participates in various technical working groups with the nutrition cluster.

A KAP survey is being conducted under the new award which will be used to inform future programming. • Indicators 1.2.1 and 1.3.2: In Koch County Unity State, 4 Outpatient therapeutic programs (OTP) and Targeted supplementary Feeding program (TSFP) and 1 stabilization center (SC) in Koch PHCC were operational as of the end of the award period. At other times during the grant, up to 10 OTP/TSFP sites, but some were closed due to inability to access the sites or because the population had evacuated the area. • Indicators 1.2.2 and 1.3.3: The number of cases admitted for treatment to MAM were lower than the projected target, while the number of cases admitted for SAM were higher than the target, which is indicative of the increasing food insecurity in the region. 2. Sector 2: Health Overview of Activities: The Health sector supported a primary healthcare in Sector two of the Bentiu PoC. The PHCC offers basic integrated primary health care services including reproductive and child health, disease surveillance and prevention package. Health activities include; antenatal care, deliveries, postnatal care; curative consultations for common conditions (Malaria, diarrhea, and acute respiratory infections (ARI)); routine EPI immunizations (with gift- in-kind from UNICEF); Key maternal and child health messages were disseminated by Home Health Promoters in the community as well at the health facilities. HHPs have been active in referrals from the community to the facilities thus the increase in maternal and child health service utilization. Additionally, WRSS procured essential medicines and supplies for sector 2 health facility and some formal and on to the job trainings were organized under OFDA grant. Unexpected challenges: • Shortage of essential drugs particularly Malaria RDT testing kits. This is addressed through collaboration with partners in Bentiu POC. Request to core pipe line partners (UNICEF & WHO) to supply us drugs/RDT testing kits with subsequent stock replenishment from WR Juba main store to avoid stock outs. - 4 - Final Report 1st June 2017 – 31st May 2018 Links to other programs or partners: • Health, Nutrition and ECD (Education) sectors managed to work in collaborative managers including referral of children in the OTP/TSFP with medical conditions for treatment, integrated health education messages, tracing both EPI and nutrition defaulters and their referrals to the respective health and nutrition sections. • Coordinated with health cluster Juba and Bentiu as well as SMOH, UNICEF, UNFPA, WHO, IRC, IOM and MSF to enhanced coordinated efforts during the implement phase of this project.
