Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State] IRNA Report: [Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State] [7-8 January 2015] This IRNA Report is a product of Inter-Agency Assessment mission conducted and information compiled based on the inputs provided by partners on the ground including; government authorities, affected communities/IDPs and agencies. Situation overview Estimated 35,000 people (10,000 IDPs and 25,000 vulnerable host population in Nyanapol (unverified) in need of support. The IDP burden has further exerted strain on the current coping capacities of the community. The situation of the population across all sectors (except some NFI/ES) is equally negative for both host and IDP populations. Locations are cut-off from previous supply routes and services due to conflict and flooding. Access to Nyanapol is currently only either by helicopter or footing. The most pressing priority need is food security – with communities resorting to complex coping strategies. There are reports of livestock deaths. The WASH situation is challenged currently and perceived to become more serious in the dry season. There is only one barely functional school in Nyanapol. There is no access to medical services within the boma, with the nearest facility being over 8hrs walk. Populations feel generally safe in these locations. There is a military presence in the location. There are reports of mainly missing and separated children. Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment http://southsudan.humanitarianresponse.info/ IRNA Report: [Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State], [7-8 Jan 2015] | 2 Site overview Location map Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment http://southsudan.humanitarianresponse.info/ IRNA Report: [Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State], [7-8 Jan 2015] | 3 Drivers and underlying factors The conflict that started on 15 December 2013 remains the main cause of vulnerability for the affected populations. This has meant that populations in these very remote locations have been cut-off from traditional sources of supplies and services. This has further been exacerbated by flooding that affected the few crops planted over the last two years. The negative impact cuts across both the IDP population and host population indiscriminately. The next cropping season begins around the middle of the year. It should not be expected that the food security situation will improve until the next cropping season is over. Meanwhile the situation is likely to get worse until then. Harvest in that season will also depend on the timely availability of seeds and tools to the communities, both host and IDPs. The majority of the IDPs interviewed expressed that they did not intend to relocate to any other location. Scope of the crisis and humanitarian profile The vulnerability affects almost the whole population in the boma, and even stretches beyond into the payam and county. The affected population in Nyanapol Boma is estimated at 35,000 individuals (being an estimated 10,000 IDPs and 25,000 host population) – pending registration and verification. The IDP population is largely women and children (hardly any male IDPs nor the elderly). This population is scattered across the villages of the boma. Most IDPs have been offered temporary accommodation by the host population. Current population figures1 County/Payam/Boma Location Host Displaced Source Notes population population Ayod County, Wau Payam, Nyanapol 25,000 10,000 Acting Unregistered Nyanapol Boma Commissioner and unverified Status of the population in the affected area The general security situation is reportedly safe. No attacks have been reported in the area since. However, there is a military presence in the area with a defined command structure. No reports of abuse have been reported about the military colleagues. There is residual shooting once in a while, reported to be from hunting. Many of the IDPs are female headed households. Various reasons are given for the husbands / fathers not being present (death, conscripted in to the military, etc). There are no livelihood activities in the area. No markets exist in the location. There is no access to basic social services. Due to crop failure over the last two cropping seasons, there is no own cereal production. IDPs became an extra burden. As such they depend on feeding on lalop fruit and leaves as a coping mechanism; which unfortunately causes them to have diarrhea. Cattle are reportedly dying due to an unknown disease. Access to fish is limited due to lack of fishing gears. A few people had some cereals that had been shared with them by IDPs from other locations. This community has never been assisted. While the IDPs are especially affected on other issues like emergency shelter and NFIs, the general situation is that all are equally vulnerable – particularly on food security. Suffice to say that this was the first time that the community was seeing a sizable humanitarian team in the location. Key response priorities Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) 1 Based on best available figures for initial planning purposes, valid until independent registration is completed. Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment http://southsudan.humanitarianresponse.info/ IRNA Report: [Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State], [7-8 Jan 2015] | 4 While there is a clear need for services, particularly food, to maintain the peaceful status quo pattern of relations between the IDP and host communities, there is no need for formal CCCM presence in Nyanapol area. Any actor responding in the area should consider communicating with the CCCM cluster to inform about population movements and tracking. There is need for official registration of the IDPs, to know the exact population. Education Education provision needs to be one of the priorities; to stop children from becoming child soldiers. Establishment of learning spaces for easy access to school; seeing the total number of children, is highly recommended. UNICEF need to re-check with partner (CMD) for books and stationery distribution. The supply and accountability of books and stationery is highly recommended, to all children (boys and girls). Proper utilization is suggested. It was observed that the community is highly motivated to send their children (boys and girls) to school, if proper learning spaces are made available. Establishment of learning spaces with basic facilities is recommended. Three CMD teachers interviewed are receiving a salary of 250 SSPs from CMD. It is suggested to make teachers accountable to PTA or community elders. Provision of WASH facilities and clean drinking water for children is recommended. Partners need proper monitoring. Food Security and Livelihoods Immediate blanket food assistance for both IDPs and host community in all three locations Urgent assessment and investigation of livestock disease and necessary follow-up Urgent livelihoods support, particularly including distribution of fishing gears. Seed and tools distribution for the coming planting season which begins in May/June Health Pipeline support for gaps in supplies of medicines for malaria, suspected pneumonia, AWD, Provision of delivery kits (potential target based on unverified estimates: n. of children 5000, host pop. and n. of children 2000 IDPs). Mobilizing human and financial resources (including capacity building) to restore community outreach service and accelerate implementation of the basic package of health services that entails the management of malaria, pneumonia and diarrhea by community-based health workers, including professional mid-wifery care. Ensure coverage for polio vaccination and measles. NFIs and Emergency Shelter Initial targeted registration and distribution of NFIs to the most vulnerable IDPs (450 HH) and host community (50 HH) in a central distribution location for villages in close proximity o Deployment of NFI team as soon as possible to carryout registration based on vulnerability selection criteria and issuing of tokens o Delivery of NFIs through the logistics cluster whilst the registration team is on the ground o Immediate distribution of NFIs Priority NFIs: blankets, mosquito nets, plastic sheets and kitchen sets. Jerry cans / buckets, soap recommended to be distributed in coordination with, or by the WASH Cluster. Sanitary kits recommended to be distributed in coordination with, or by the Protection Cluster. Fishing kits were highly requested but not part of the NFI cluster pipeline. They fall within FSL. Average family size is 10. Quantities of items should account for this subject to logistic constraints. i.e 4 blankets & 4 mosquito nets per HH etc. Continued assessment to determine additional caseload, if any. Nutrition Exhaustive nutrition screening for children (0-59 months) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) to determine the nutritional status of these vulnerable groups and ensure the active case finding continues as part of the community mobilization of the existing partners. Organize rapid response mechanism to treat malnourished children and hand over the quick response to the existing partner for sustainability. Inter-Agency Rapid Needs Assessment http://southsudan.humanitarianresponse.info/ IRNA Report: [Nyanapol Boma, Wau Payam, Ayod County, Jonglei State], [7-8 Jan 2015] | 5 Incorporate Blanket Supplementary Feeding (BSFP), Vitamin A supplementation as well as Infant and young child feeding (IYCF-E) for prevention of malnutrition. Existing Partners need to conduct continuous outreach activities at Boma level in order to increase the

  • IRNA Report: Jiech, Ayod County, Jonglei State 13/14 May 2014
    IRNA Report: Jiech, Ayod County, Jonglei State 13/14 May 2014 This IRNA Report is a product of Inter-Agency Assessment mission conducted and information compiled based on the inputs provided by partners on the ground including; government authorities, affected communities/IDPs and agencies. Situation overview Ayod County is located in the northwest part of Jonglei state and borders Fangak and Khorflus Counties to the north, Nyirol and Uror Counties to the east, Duk County to the south and Unity State to the west. It is comprised of five Payams, namely Ayod, Mogok, Pajiek, Pagil, Kuachdeng and Wau. Ayod County and its environs are inhabited by Gaawar Nuer. It had a population of 139,282 people as per South Sudan Household Census of 2008. Jiech now hosts the County Administration. The community and county headquarters is currently calm, after being compelled to flee to following a SPLA offensive resulting in the capture of Ayod. On May 10th, OCHA received reports that up to an estimated 25,283 IDP’s were seeking refuge in Jiech Payam, Ayod County .In response an IRNA mission was launched through OCHA taking the lead and convening an Inter cluster Working Group for actors in Ayod County. The area normally has high levels of food insecurity and following the withdrawal of health actors, has lacked health interventions which has worsened over the last few weeks with IDPs fleeing their homes with no basic commodities. IDP’s reported are 25,283, however far fewer civilians were seen and the population will need to be verified as soon as possible.

  • SOUTH SUDAN Food Security Monitoring: Phone Interviews in Greater Upper Nile
    mVAMSOUTH Bulletin SUDAN 1: March 2016 Bulletin 1: March 2016 SOUTH SUDAN Food Security Monitoring: phone interviews in Greater Upper Nile KEY MESSAGES Higher prices for food commodities and a reduced purchasing power were reported in Unity and Jonglei States; The highest proportion of internally displaced persons was registered in the counties of Twic East and Bor South (Jonglei), Maban and Malakal (Upper Nile) and Pariang, Guit and Abiemnhom (Unity); Respondents in Upper Nile have a more negative perception of their food security than those in Unity and Jongeli: food shortages, high prices and inadequate supplies are the main concerns among respondents. METHODOLOGY In February 2016, WFP SSCO conducted its first remote phone survey (mVAM) data collection in Greater Upper Nile. The survey primarily captured information on market functioning through key informant interviews with community leaders and/or opinion holders in payams with Greater Upper Nile. The data collection was conducted with the help of an in-house call center. Information on food availability and prices, labour wage rate, displacement and road access were was obtained from 26 counties in the Greater Upper Nile (eight each in Jonglei and Unity and 10 in Upper Nile) using a simplified market questionnaire. In order to reach out to as many key informants as possible, the phone interviews targeted all mobile providers both GSM and satellite phones (thurayas). It is notable important to note that some counties were completely not reached, primarily due to conflict and insecurity that has rendered phone coverage and general accessibility impossible. Furthermore, the respondents of to phone interviews are not representative of the community and can potentially bias findings.
