The Lutheran World Federation -Department for World Service - South Sudan Programme

Terms of Reference LWF Refugee Programme Needs Assessment in, Upper Nile and Unity States in South Sudan

Background to LWF Refugee Programme Needs Assessment Consultancy in South Sudan

The Lutheran World Federation/Department for World Service (LWF/DWS) South Sudan Programme was established in 2009 and strives to provide humanitarian assistance (emergency/relief, rehabilitation and development work) to refugees and other vulnerable communities to enable them meet their basic human rights and needs in line with its vision, mission statements, and core values. The LWF/DWS South Sudan Program is operational in three states of Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile States. In both Unity and upper Nile States, a refugee programme is implemented in both Upper Nile and Unity States respectively in the counties of Maban and Ajuong Thok targeting refugees. InMaban, LWF has been operational since September 2012 and is now about two years old while activities in Unity state commenced in 2014. The refugee Programme focuses on Education and Child Protection interventions.

Upper Nile State – Maban County

Maban County in Upper Nile State of South Sudan has had an influx of refugees from Blue Nile state as a result of continued aerial bombardment and ground attacks on the people of Blue Nile. As of the 22^nd September 2014, South Sudan’s Upper Nile state was hosting 128,452 registered refugees. These are refugees who fled fighting in mainly Blue Nile and South Kordofan states of the Sudan and have taken refuge in Maban County of Upper Nile since September 2012. The UN refugee agency (UNHCR) and a number of other humanitarian agencies provide assistance to the refugees who are settled in four camps namely Yusuf Batil (39,827), Doro (49,493), Gendrassa (17,626) and Kaya (21,506). LWF/DWS’s operation in Maban is currently being supported by 6 donors and operates in 3 of the 4 camps.

LWF intends to expand the coverage of the refugee programme in Upper Nile effective 2015 to the host community around the refugee camps. The host community in Maban also presents a case of many needy families whose traditional coping mechanisms have been interrupted and now need support to cope with the new developments around them including the deterioration of the security context. There is a high risk that if programs in the refugee camps are not replicated in the needy villages of the host community around the camps, this could spark endless conflicts between the two communities as already witnessed by pockets of incidences.

Unity State - Paryang County

The in Unity Statein South Sudancurrently hosts refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) in two camps of Yida and Ajuong Thok. Yida is a transit camp where only basic lifesaving and emergency support is provided. Refugees are later moved to Ajuong Thok from the transit camp. Ajuong Thok camp now hosts 13,610 refugees from South Kordofan. An estimated 50% of this population comprises of children. Fifteen percent (15%) of the children are five years old. New refugees arrivals to Ajuong Thok fluctuates ranging from as few as 852 refugees in mid-February 2014 to over 1000 in August and September 2014. Most of the new arrivals are children and minors. In 2015, LWF/DWS will be in its second year of operation in Ajuong Thok and will continue to provide education and child protection services to 20,000 refugees who either relocate from the Yida camp and new arrivals from South Kordofan new arrivals re-directed from Yida to Ajuong Thok. In 2015, LWF South Sudan has plans to increase in coverage of activities to IDPs residing in the vicinity of Ajuong Thok refugee camp

Purpose of the LWF Refugee Programme Assessment

LWF is currently planning for its 2015 programmes in Maban and Ajuong Thok Counties and requires planning data that is up to date as well as generation of new information to address existing data gaps. This information will not only support LWFs efforts of fundraising for the two program areas targeting refugees, host communities and IDPs in the vicinity of the refugee programmes, but will also benefit the organisation with recommendations from the assessment on how best strategies to include host communities and IDPS activities in the refugee programme interventions in Maban and Ajuong Thok will be designed. The assessment is also intended to ensure that the real needs of those affected are strategically addressed in the design of the projects, bench marks are established upon which monitoring of the programme progress, outputs and outcomes/impacts can be based upon and in establishing planning data base that LWF can periodically update to inform planning and design of projects in the future.

Focus and Scope

The Assessment will be implemented in Upper Nile – Maban County in the three camps of Yusuf Batil, Gendrassa and Kaya camps and among the IDPs and the host community around the camps where LWF has been in operation providing Education and Child Protection activities. In Ajuong Thok, the assessment will be undertaken in Ajuong Thok refugee camps in Pariang County and among the IDPs and host communities residing around the camps. The assessment will cover a number of activities to be carried out by the Consultant. These will include:

1. Review of LWF Project documents to gain a deeper understanding of the LWF’s Education and Child protection activities, in drawing lessons learnt and best practices from the current child education/protection projects. as well as other sources of information available on refugees, IDPs and the host community for use in the design of the intervention logic and future proposal development process in the two program areas as well as other sources of information available on the refugees, host community and internally displaced persons in these geographical areas.The literature review should guide in the identification of the existing data that may require updating, most recent planning data that is available and data gaps that call for an assessment in the refugee camps. Data collected and presented at literature review level MUST reflect gender and age concerns and provide estimates of affected population disaggregated by demographic cohorts of Infants & Young children (0-59 months); Children (5-17years); Adults (18-49 years); and the Elderly (≥ 50 years) with details and analysis of the situation of these categories of the population. In the analysis and presentation of the situation of the affected individuals, households, community and the country (South Sudan), the status of their resilience to withstand, adapt and to quickly recover from stresses and shocks should be succinctly analysed and presented.
2. On the basis of the literature review, develop a detailed implementation plan in consultation with the Juba programme department for review and approval.
3. Development of a participatory methodology of assessment to address data gaps in Maban and Ajuong Thok and data collection tools. LW/DWS intends to evolve and developinnovative aspects to be included in a second phase project proposal by exploring the IDP issue and the links to LWF/DWS child education/protection programme in Kakuma, Kenya. LWF/DWS anticipates therefore that a detailed assessment methodology that ensures active consultations with the team leader of the needs assessment and proposal development team in Kakuma is developed with provisions for coordination of the assessment findings and recommendations for logframe/intervention logic development and therefore integration of a clear link on the IDPs issue between the two programmes.The data collection tools developed should be sensitive to the capacity of LWF South Sudan technical teams who will support the consultant with the data collection exercise. Data generated from the assessment MUST provide details on the methods used, the respondents consulted (Men, Women, youth, children, the elderly, institutions etc.), the dates data was collected to include other relevant information on the assessment methods. In particular, and as already indicated above, the assessment MUST focus ongender and age concerns and provide estimates of affected population disaggregated by demographic cohorts of Infants & Young children (0-59 months); Children (5-17years); Adults (18-49 years); and the Elderly (≥ 50 years) with details and analysis of the situation of these categories of the population. In the analysis and presentation of the situation of the affected individuals, households, community and the country (South Sudan), the status of their resilience to withstand, adapt and to quickly recover from stresses and shocks should be succinctly analysed and presented.
4. Compilation of a succinct needs assessment report that encompasses item 1 and 2 above under Focus and Scope Section with in build recommendations to inform innovative development of future project designs and the proposed strategies on creation of links on IDPs aspects between the LWF/DWS Kenya and South Sudan Programmes among others.
5. Development of a one year master log – frame based on Education and child protection priorities identified in the needs assessment exercise for both Maban and Ajuong Thok refugee programme to include the desired links on IDPs aspects between the two country programmes in Kenya and South Sudan; and one that guides LWF in further development of future intervention logics and proposals to varied donors supporting the refugee programme.
