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.

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.

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).

    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.
