3.8 Million 1.4 Million 469,000 South Sudan Crisis Situation Report No. 60 (as of 30 October 2014) This report was produced by OCHA South Sudan in collaboration with humanitarian partners. It covers the period from 23-30 October. The next report will be issued on or around 7 November 2014. Highlights ● Tensions remained high in Bentiu and Rubkona, Unity state, following three days of heavy fighting ,starting 27 October. ● Nearly 1.9 million people have been displaced since December 2013; 78 per cent (1.4 million) of whom are internally displaced. ● Results of the September IPC analysis indicate that some 1.5 million people will need critical food assistance through December. ● Partners continued with dry season planning. US$269 is required to kick-start operations before the next rainy season in May 2015. 3.8 million 3.5 million 1.4 million 469,000 People to be assisted by the end People reached with People internally displaced by People sheltering in neigh- of the year humanitarian assistance* violence boring countries * This includes people internally displaced, refugees from other countries sheltering in South Sudan and other vulnerable communities who have received assistance since January 2014. This does not imply that the needs of these people have been comprehensively met. Situation overview The security situation remained tense, especially in the northern states of Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile. Some civilians living in the Bentiu and Rubkona areas moved into the UNMISS PoC site on 27 October, following heavy fighting between 27 and 29 October. Four people, including a 60 year old woman were reportedly injured by stray bullets during the fighting; one boy succumbed to the injuries. Security in the PoC sites in Malakal, Upper Nile remains of concern with increased cases of inter-communal conflict reported. Two incidents, resulting in serious injury were reported on 25 and 27 October. UN security intervened and are monitoring the situation. Loss of lives and livelihoods resulting from cattle raids and inter-communal tensions continued in Lakes. On 27 October, a cattle raid in Western Equatoria, left four people and forty cattle dead; while a similar attack left four people dead, and unknown number of cattle injured in Gumuruk, Jonglei. Results of the September IPC analysis indicates that despite the current improvements in food security, the situation is worse compared to a typical year at harvest time. Some 1.5 million people will remain in Crisis and Emergency phases through December 2014, including one third of the population of Greater Upper Nile whose coping mechanisms have been stretched due by the protracted conflict, displacement and a harsh lean season in 2014. The overall nutrition situation remains dire with the prevalence of the global acute malnutrition (GAM) likely to remain above emergency thresholds (GAM >15 per cent).

Coordination Saves Lives South Sudan Crisis Situation Report No. 60 2 Humanitarian response In spite of the critical challenges, aid agencies have managed to reach 92 per cent (3.5 million people) of the 3.8 million people targeted, with some form of targeted assistance. More resources are however required to sustain the life-saving operations. Camp Coordination and Camp Management Response ● Response coverage: Partners have reached 64 per cent (445,603 people) of the 693,000 people targeted until December. Overall, an estimated 1.44 million people were identified as being in need. Partners continued to improve site management, planning and provision of coordinated assistance to the targeted population. ● Biometric registration was completed in Malakal and Melut, with some 18,391 people registered. ● Site development in the new extension site in Malakal is ongoing. ● Some 1,463 new arrivals were registered in Tomping this week. ● A total of 13,434 individuals were relocated in UN House (10,930 people) and Mingkiman (626 people) in October ● In Mingkaman, partners have completed 90 per cent of all planned roads, and drainage works are ongoing Eleven additional culvert lines were constructed, as part of the flood response in the area. Education Response ● Response coverage: Partners have reached 68 per cent (185,798) of the 275,000 people targeted for education assistance. Of those reached, 78,895 (42.3%) are girls and 106,903 are boys. ● Education supplies: Partners provided learning materials and recreational kits to New Rambuor primary school, Juba County, benefiting 256 chillren; 117 of whom are girls. ● Partners begun implementing in Nasir County, Upper Nile, for the first time since the emergency began. Needs, gaps and constraints ● Recurring challenges: Delay/failure to pay teachers’ salaries continued to limit education activities as teachers were still not showing up for duty. Education partners continue to advocate with relevant authorities for a solution. ● School occupation: Armed groups occupied three more schools last week bringing the number of schools under occupation to 91 (38 by armed groups, 48 by IDPs, 2 both IDPs and armed forces and 3 school status unknown). Children in the area unable to access education and remained exposed to abuse. ● Six schools were closed last week in Rumbek East, Lakes State, due to insecurity, leaving children without access to education in affected areas. Emergency Telecommunication Response ● Partners in ETC continued to support and provide telecommunication services to its partners. Fifty eight radios were programmed for eight UN agencies and NGOs. ● The cluster conducted a survey to review the continued need for services rendered in 2014. The survey results will inform ETC planning for 2015. ● Two technical volunteers were deployed to South Sudan last week. The team trained five staff, including three national staff on WIDER4. Together with the ETC coordinator, they visited Mingkaman to review the installation and extend the wireless coverage in the area by upgrading the equipment. Needs, gaps and constraints ● Funding gaps: Funding for ETC activities for 2014 remains critical and mobilization of funds continued. The cluster is 39 per cent funded and requires $2.8 million to meet its target for 2014. Lack of resources may impact on deployment and roll-out of the digital radios project. ● Recurring: Procurement of telecommunications equipment continues to be challenging due to lengthy import procedures United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Coordination Saves Lives South Sudan Crisis Situation Report No. 60 3 Food Security and Livelihoods Response ● Food distribution: Food distributions were completed without any hitches in Poktap, Chuil, Jikmir, Pieri and Ulang/Nyangore.

  • The Conflict in Upper Nile State (18 March 2014 Update)
    The Conflict in Upper Nile State (18 March 2014 update) Three months have elapsed since widespread conflict broke out in South Sudan, and Malakal, Upper Nile’s state capital, remains deserted and largely burned to the ground. The state is patchwork of zones of control, with the rebels holding the largely Nuer south (Longochuk, Maiwut, Nasir, and Ulang counties), and the government retaining the north (Renk), east (Maban and Melut), and the crucial areas around Upper Nile’s oil fields. The rest of the state is contested. The conflict in Upper Nile began as one between different factions within the SPLA but has now broadened to include the targeted ethnic killing of civilians by both sides. With the status of negotiations in Addis Ababa unclear, and the rebel’s 14 March decision to refuse a regional peacekeeping force, conflict in the state shows no sign of ending in the near future. With the first of the seasonal rains now beginning, humanitarian costs of ongoing conflict are likely to be substantial. Conflict began in Upper Nile on 24 December 2013, after a largely Nuer contingent of the Sudan People’s Liberation Army’s (SPLA) 7th division, under the command of General Gathoth Gatkuoth, declared their loyalty to former vice-president Riek Machar and clashed with government troops in Malakal. Fighting continued for three days. The central market was looted and shops set on fire. Clashes also occurred in Tunja (Panyikang county), Wanding (Nasir county), Ulang (Ulang county), and Kokpiet (Baliet county), as the SPLA’s 7th division fragmented, largely along ethnic lines, and clashed among themselves, and with armed civilians.

  • Ulang Town, Nyangora, Barmach, Ulang County, Upper Nile State
    IRNA Report: [Ulang Town, Nyangora, Barmach, Ulang County, Upper Nile State] [18-20 September 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. Highlights: • Displacement was primarily within Ulang county and IDPs and host community are well integrated • In Ulang town people are primarily returning IDPs while in Nyangora and Barmach they are a mix of IDPs and host community • Preliminary numbers are 8,440 returning IDPs in Ulang town, 4,000 IDPs and 8,000 host community in Nyangora, and 6,300 IDPs and 7,600 host community in Barmach • Proxy malnutrition at very high rates, SAM 16.6%, MAM 28.4%, and GAM 45% Food distribution and re-establishment of health and nutrition services also high priorities • • NGOs planning response include GOAL (health and nutrition), ADRA (education), Nile Hope (protection), NP (protection), Medair (WASH), and Food For the Hungry with WFP (FSL) • As Ulang is on the Malakal – Nasir road, it is vulnerable to attack in the dry season. Contingencies to move operations to Nyangora (across the river in sight of Ulang town) must therefore be in place, or response should focus on Nyangora to begin with. Situation overview From 18-20 September a joint assessment team visited Ulang town, Nyangora, and Barmach in Ulang County, Upper Nile State, to assess reports of humanitarian need resulting from conflict-related displacement that occurred in the first half of 2014. On 18 and 20 September the team assessed Ulang town and on 19 September the team split and assessed Nyangora and Barmach, across the Sobat river from Ulang town.

    The Project for Comprehensive Planning and Support for Urgent Development on Social Economic Infrastructure in Malakal Town in the Republic of South Sudan CHAPTER 12 EDUCATION In this chapter, following perspectives regarding the Education Sector are presented and analysed; 1) Institutional Framework, 2) Policies and Strategies, 3) Financial Resources, 4) the Operation and Maintenance System, 5) Facilities and Staffing, 6) Findings from Relevant Survey(s), 7) Programmes and Projects, and 8) Needs and Issues. And then in section, 9) development plans are formulated based on the present situation, needs and issues, and in 10) projects are proposed from technical point of view. 12.1 INSTITUTIONAL FRAMEWORK In ROSS, the majority of adults and children have not had the opportunity to attend school due to decades of civil war. During this period, the development of basic services has been non-existent and accessing the education infrastructure was difficult. As a strategy for recovering education, The Ministry of General Education and Instruction (MOGEI) has constructed a parallel system of formal and alternative education systems. The educational system in Republic of South Sudan (ROSS) consists of early childhood development, primary education, secondary education, alternative education technical schools and higher education. ROSS is following an 8-4-4 education system (8 years of basic education, four years of secondary education and four years of tertiary education). The State Ministry of Education (MoE), Upper Nile State (UNS) is responsible for the implementation of basic, secondary and technical education as well as sharing in the governance of the tertiary education. Basic education and alternative education systems use the same curriculum though they have different systems for administering the syllabus.
