Background

Since achieving independence in July 2011, much of South Sudan’s short history as a nation has been characterized by political instability and violent conflict. Since civil war broke out in December 2013, South Sudan has spiraled into a deeper state of emergency. The protracted conflict continues to cause significant forced displacement (both internally and in refugee movements to neighbouring countries), while curtailing the delivery of social services, agricultural production and destroying basic infrastructure. According to UNHCR, almost two million South Sudanese have sought refuge in neighbouring countries since December 2013, representing one of the largest refugee crises in the world. The conflict has had significant consequences for South Sudanese civilians, with women and youth particularly affected. The volatile situation is accompanied by an increase in rights abuses, with gender based violence and child recruitment by armed groups both widespread phenomena.

Efforts to achieve a political resolution to the conflict are currently channeled through the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) led peace process, called the High-Level Revitalization Forum (HLRF). This is the key platform bringing together warring parties to seek agreement on a long-term solution to ending the violence. Though representatives from civil society, women, youth, academia and faith-based leaders have participated in the HLRF talks, there has been little broad-based engagement of South Sudanese, outreach or awareness-raising about the process. There has also been no significant or sustained effort to assess perspectives and priorities of South Sudanese citizens—including women, youth, and refugees who bear some of the worst impacts of the conflict—and to ensure their perspectives inform the HLRF process as well as other peace-building and reconciliation initiatives.

Oxfam seeks to contribute to a more inclusive peace process by supporting regular surveys to assess perceptions among South Sudanese within and outside of the country related to social cohesion and peace. The outcomes of the perception surveys will increase understanding of and attention to the priorities and views of South Sudanese themselves. Such an assessment will complement the participation of civil society representatives in the peace process and contribute to other initiatives. The assessments could also inform the governance and humanitarian programming of Oxfam and other organizations.

Scope of Work

The selected partner will design and administer perception surveys covering issues such as governance, social cohesion and peace among South Sudanese in select locations in South Sudan and in Uganda. The assignment will take place over the course of 6 months. It is considered a pilot, with the intention that the survey will be undertaken on an annual basis over a four-year period.

The perception survey should address issues pertaining to governance and human security; civic behavior; inter and intra group relations; exposure to violence and psychological functioning; knowledge of peace process; and/or displacement. Where relevant, the survey could build on or be informed by previous perception surveys undertaken in South Sudan. The survey could include a combination of questions asked across all respondent groups, in addition to specific questions adapted to certain target groups. For example, issues related to refugee/host community relations and prospects for return could be integrated into the survey for refugees and host communities.

The partner selected will develop a detailed survey instrument and methodology, in consultation with relevant Oxfam staff. The survey methodology should recognize the challenges in undertaking quantitative surveys in dynamic, conflict-affected environments. To the extent possible, the survey should seek to achieve 50 percent gender parity in terms of respondents.

Locations

The pilot survey should be conducted in two or three locations in South Sudan and in two or three locations in Uganda. In South Sudan, the possible locations include: Juba, Nyal, and Ganyiel, where Oxfam is currently implementing a range of development, peacebuilding, and humanitarian activities. In Uganda, possible locations for research include: Palabek settlement (Lamwo district), Bidibidi settlement (Yumbe district), Imvepi and Rhino settlements (Arua district), where Oxfam implements humanitarian activities. Applicants can propose different locations besides those listed above, with reasonable justifications.

Where possible, the survey locations should be maintained in each annual round, to allow for comparison of data across time. Given the dynamic nature of the conflict, however, locations for the survey may need to change.

Key Tasks and Deliverables

• Design an appropriate research methodology and survey instrument;
• Develop tailored questionnaires for each survey location to assess relevant indicators agreed together with the Oxfam, and to reflect the different contexts;
• Conduct the perception survey in selected locations in South Sudan and Uganda;
• Draft a report describing key findings, their relevance to peace-building and humanitarian efforts, challenges experienced during the survey, and lessons learned to inform subsequent iterations;
• Draft public communications material (short report/ briefing note that can be published).Validation workshop and presentations of survey findings in all research locations, to key stakeholders and advocacy targets

Since the December 2013 crisis, the Republic of South Sudan continued to face a worsening spiral of humanitarian, development, economic and security crises of unprecedented proportions. Several drivers of conflict, some new and others heightened by the conflict, have emerged around poorly managed decentralization, corruption, marginalization, ethnic rivalries and exclusionary politics, and unaddressed local grievances that have fed localized militias and insurgencies in the country. In July 2017, IGAD initiated the process of convening a High-Level Revitalization Forum (HLRF) to put ARCSS on track and reinforce its implementation within firm and credible timeframes. Subsequent to several inclusive preliminary consultations, the parties to the conflict signed the “Agreement on Cessation of Hostilities, Protection of Civilians, and Humanitarian Access” in Addis Ababa on December 21, 2017. The third phase of the High-Level Revitalization Forum is ongoing with strong support from faith based and civil society organizations including women led organizations.

Conflict and various economic and natural shocks have increased the vulnerability of communities, particularly women and girls as a result of their gendered roles and traditional norms that limit their voice, mobility and access to information and resources. As a result, women headed households are overrepresented among the poor and women and girls have been targets of gender based violence (GBV), especially sexual violence, as a weapon of war. The latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) data has highlighted that 5.3 million people (48% of the population) are estimated to be facing Crisis and Emergency (IPC Phases 3 and 4) acute food insecurity, out of which 1 million people are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) acute food insecurity.

As part of the peace deal (2015), the government initiated the preparation of the national development strategy (NDS) which seeks to provide strategic direction and key priorities across economy, basic services and governance cluster for the period July 2018 to June 2021. The NDS that prioritizes consolidating peace and stabilizing the economy is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2018 and aims to ensure that all South Sudanese feel safe, enjoy stable prices and access basic services.

Gender Equality and Women Empowerment (GEWE) is one of the core objectives of UNDP and is implemented throughout the organization in a two-pronged approach; mainstreaming gender in all core practices, and dedicated interventions that empower women and promote gender equality. UNDPs work on gender is guided by the Beijing Platform for Action (BPFA), Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW), the UNSCR 1325 and related conventions addressing Women, Peace, and Security and the Agenda 2030. Those frameworks are reflected in the UNDPs Gender Strategy and its newly developed 7-point plan addressing Gender and Recovery in a post conflict and post disaster environment. In South Sudan, through the Interim Cooperation Framework 2016-2018 and in collaboration with UN Gender Task team, UNDP’s gender initiatives are anchored in the Country Programme Document 2016-2018. The current commitments are; 1) preventing and addressing Gender Based Violence, 2) advancing gender justice by increasing access to justice for women, reform of security and justice systems, and transitional justice, 3) Promoting women and women’s organizations as leaders and decisions makers – including in the peace process, 4) Promoting women economic empowerment through livelihood programmes and innovative interventions, including through access and control of resources; 5) Ensuring that gender equality is at the core of disaster risk reduction and recovery, and 6) Addressing gender vulnerabilities to HIV and in particular support initiatives to promote the rights of women and girls living with HIV in South Sudan. UNDP contributes to the UN Joint Programme on SGBV.
