In 2012, ACTED has undertaken an expansion of activities in South Sudan. A Juba level coordination office was opened in 2011, and in 2012 the capital office has expanded to provide additional support to our field offices that opened in Bentiu, Unity State, and Malakal, Upper Nile State. The rapidly changing situation in South Sudan over the past months has led ACTED to up-scale its emergency response capacities, while also continuing to provide basic services in the traditional areas of intervention.

Since January 2012, ACTED has been providing refugee and IDP assistance in Unity and Upper Nile states. In Maban County, this assistance has focused on the life-saving assistance to refugees from Blue Nile State, Sudan. ACTED as camp manager for Jamam refugee camp has strived to provide the basic needs for the population including shelter, waste management, livelihoods, and construction of community infrastructures.

Additionally, ACTED has responded to the new refugee influx in May with the provision of shelter and emergency latrines at transit sites while providing transportation assistance to refugees relocating to permanent settlements. In Unity state, ACTED has focused on the provision of livelihoods assistance to refugees in Nyeel and Pariang refugee camps.

ACTED also continues to build on its traditional areas of intervention, focusing on food security and livelihoods in Western Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap, and water, sanitation and hygiene in both states as well. Tonj North in Warrap was also a new area for ACTED where a Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) project is being implemented in the underserved area. All of these interventions continue to provide both basic and live-saving assistance to vulnerable populations throughout South Sudan.

ACTED provides continued support to vulnerable communities by ensuring the sustainability of post-crisis interventions and engaging long-term challenges facing our target populations, in order to break the poverty cycle, foster development and reduce vulnerability to disasters.

II. Country Profile

Capital Office : Juba

National Staff : 500

International Staff : 50

Areas : 4 (9 sub-areas)

On-going programmes : 12

Budget : 13.35M € (2013 – estimation 2014 – 20M€)

Following the eruption of hostilities in most parts of South Sudan, on 15 December 2013, it was estimated that around 490,6001 people were displaced in seven states including Eastern Equatorial, Unity, Upper Nile, Central Equatorial, Jonglei, Warrap and Lakes. Although the most well-known IDP locations are those located in the UNMISS Bases, commonly known as the Protection of Civilians Center (POC), significant number of displaced persons reportedly settled in collective centers, spontaneous settlements and with host families. Given the need to coordinate the provision of protection, assistance and management of the POC and other displacement sites, the HCT activated the CCCM Cluster on 25 December 2013 with UNHCR and IOM taking co-leadership roles and serving as providers of last resort, as part of their global cluster mandate. In line with the Cluster Approach Structures in South Sudan, the NGO Forum is represented in each cluster as a co-lead to support the coordination and represent the interest of NGOs but does not have the provider of last resort commitment. Hence, ACTED is the designated NGO Co-Lead representative for the CCCM Cluster. In addition to the leadership structures, other structures including an Information Management Cell and an Inter-cluster Technical Site Planning Working Group are formed, while the establishment of a Strategic Advisory Group is underway.

As the focal point for the cluster, CCCM is accountable for the CCCM response to the humanitarian crisis. The cluster co-coordinators must ensure the inclusion of key humanitarian partners within the sector, respecting their mandates and programme priorities. Together, the cluster members will identify the overall requirements in responding to displacement sites and augment their capacity to meet this threshold while bearing in mind that the establishment of formal camps is the option of last resort, following a comprehensive review in coordination with the Protection Cluster
