Humanitarian situation and needs:

In the Republic of South Sudan (SSD), more than 4 years of armed conflict have shattered the lives of millions of people. As of December 2017, there are 1.9 million people Internally Displaced (IDPs) out. Among IDPs, about 200,000 people have found refuge in UNMIS PoCs. There are 2 million refugees in neighbouring countries.

Humanitarian consequences:

More than three quarter (76 percent) of the households across the country are facing moderate to severe food insecurity, related to poor economy, high food prices and insecurity. Malnutrition rates are persistently high. Health service delivery is depending on NGOs and in areas with increased number of IDPs and insecurity it remains a challenge with increased risks to epidemic prone diseases.

Previous Northern Bahr el Ghazal (NBeG) (where PUI is operating since Feb. 2015) is largely neglected by humanitarian assistance because of their peripheral situation with regards to the armed conflict. However, malnutrition rates have been persistently high and available health care is limited.

Our actions in the field:

PUI has been implementing different activities in Northern Bhar El Ghazal State since its arrival in the country:

• PUI took over a Primary Health Care Centre (PHCC) that used to be run by MSF-Spain. Since the beginning of the activities PUI has served a high number of beneficiaries. In 2017 alone, PUI has provided around 125,000 consultations serving beneficiaries from the whole state. PUI is delivering a full PHC package that includes health as well as sexual and reproductive health, with a special attention on children under 15 and pregnant and lactating women. This project is supported by ECHO.
• Nutrition activities in 11 nutrition sites. PUI started with one Nutrition site in April 2015 in the PHCC and has now extended to 11 sites, the last 7 have been added in 2017. PUI is in the process of opening more nutrition sites. The nutrition activities include treatment of acute malnutrition for children from 6 to 59 months and Pregnant and lactating women through OTP, TSFP and Stabilization Centre activities.
• Community outreach activities that are intertwined in every aspect of the activities. Our network of Community Volunteers are actively involved in active malnutrition screening within the communities, referral of cases to the PHCC and PHCUs; they also deliver health and IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding) education sessions.
• PUI aims at saving lives through an integrated approach. Therefore, in 2018 PUI also started to add an FSL program, integrating health, nutrition and FSL and targeting the most at risk populations according.

Location: Juba

ABOUT THE MISSION IN SOUTH-SUDAN

The conflict between Northern and Southern Sudan is known as the longest war in Africa. Six and half years after the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) in Nairobi in January 2005, South Sudan became the youngest country in the World on July 9th 2011, after a referendum.

In 2013, new rounds of violence erupted. Following East African mediation efforts and the threat of United Nations sanctions for both sides, a peace agreement was signed in 2015. Following Machar’s return to Juba in 2016 and his appointement as vice president, a new breakout of violence happened in Juba in July 2016. Machar was replaced as vice-president and fled the country as the global conflict erupted again. In the coming months at least, the general security situation is likely to remain precarious and volatile in the whole country.

Up to 300,000 (even more) people are estimated to have been killed in the war. More than 4 million people have been displaced in a country of 12 million, with about 2 million internally displaced and about 2.1 million having fled to neighboring countries (Kenya, Sudan, Uganda, DRC…). Almost 7.1 million people are food insecure in the country.

SI has been operating in South Sudan since 2006, and has developed activities in emergency and post emergency contexts, particularly in rural and semi-urban areas.

SI currently runs WASH and FSL interventions benefiting IDPs and host communities in Raja (Western Bahr El Gazal), as well as WASH activities in the PoC in Malakal, and provides emergency WASH assistance in informal settlements in Upper West Nile state.

SI is about to launch a cholera preparedeness&response programme in Juba.

The main axis of SI’s country strategy are as follows:

• Address the most urgent needs of conflict, epidemic (including cholera) and natural disaster affected population
• Contribute to strengthening the resilience capacities of agro and agro pastoral communities affected by conflict and climate events.
• Contribute to reducing the prevalence of water borne diseases and malnutrition through integrated WaSH in camp (formal/informal), WaSH in health and WaSH in nutrition approaches in rural and urban settings.
• Challenge common approaches to hygiene promotion and sanitation and pilot innovative methodologies and technologies, through research studies, and partnerships with academic institutions; study the impact of humanitarian interventions on cholera prevalence.

The coordination is based in Juba (5 expatriates). The Raja base which was opened in 2017 counts 3 expatriates, while the Malakal base, with 2 expatriates also supports activities along the Nile.

Background

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. The country is riveted in a mutually-reinforcing conflict dynamic that involves several actors beyond the two key principal players of the August 2015 peace accord. In the aftermath of the peace deal, relatively peaceful regions turned into a stage for contesting the new disposition of power in the country which exposes an internal strain in the peace accord. 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

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. Worsening food insecurity is primarily driven by protracted conflict and displacements, which have contributed to insufficient crop production (only 61% of the 2018 national cereal needs are met by the harvest), disruptions to livelihoods and persistent macroeconomic deterioration. Livelihoods have been further eroded by climatic shocks, such as prolonged dry spells and flooding, and pest infestations (e.g. Fall Armyworm). Estimates by the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) suggested that because of the conflict, nearly 2 million people have been internally displaced and over 2 million people have sought refuge in Uganda, Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Central African Republic and Democratic Republic of Congo with women and children being worst hit.

Overall, the economic growth in South Sudan continues to be severely afflicted by the civil war and consequent displacements, insecurity and weakening of state institutions across the country. The African Development Bank (AfDB) Country Outlook for South Sudan has estimated that GDP has fallen by 13.1 % in 2016. Ongoing conflict further hampers efforts to consolidate the economy. The AfDB outlook states that the ‘economic prospects are negative and dependent on a significant recovery in oil prices, implementation of the slew of economic and fiscal measures announced in September 2016’. Budget deficit is estimated at 36% for the 2017/18 financial year.

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 second phase of the High-Level Revitalization Forum is ongoing and the various parties are expected to examine the 2015 peace deal to include other new groups who rebelled against the Government after the collapse of the August 2015 deal in the first week of July 2016.

The Transitional Government of National Unity has continued to prioritize reconciliation efforts through the National Dialogue, which is scheduled to be concluded by April 2018. Initial consultations at the subnational level have commenced in the largely Government-controlled areas. Further, the Sub-Committee on Refugees and International outreach conducted consultation in Uganda and Kenya with South Sudanese refugees and the diaspora. The Sub-Committee is expected to conduct consultation in Sudan, Ethiopia, DRC and Egypt. Furthermore, national consultations regarding the content of the legislation that will establish Commission on Truth Reconciliation and Healing (CTRH), commenced in December 2017 as provided by the peace agreement. The Council of Ministers also endorsed the draft statute and memorandum of understanding of the Hybrid Court for South Sudan (HCSS) in December 2017. The statute gives clarity to the role of the HCSS, its structure, composition and jurisdiction.

The South Sudan Development Plan (SSDP) originally launched after independence in 2011 for a period of two years was extended until mid-2016 as the momentum for development weakened, first by the fiscal crisis in 2012 and then by the conflict from 2013 onwards. The United Nations Country Team (UNCT) adapted to changing context by refreshing and extending its own United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF), which expired in 2016. With the conclusion of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in August 2015, there is now a new roadmap for progress and new opportunities to strengthen efforts towards peace and development. The Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict (August 2015) provides for the Transitional Government of National Unity to establish a new national development framework during the transitional period until 2018. However, this did not materialize due to the collapse of the peace agreement in July 2016. Until this new national development framework is in place, and in order for the UNCT to better align the policy and programmatic work to the current context, the Country Team has decided to launch an Interim Cooperation Framework (ICF) as its overarching Strategic Plan covering the period 2016 -2018. UNDP also developed its Country Programme Document (CPD 2016-2018) aligned with the ICF. Currently, UNCT is developing the new UN Country Cooperation Framework (UNCF 2019-2021) to replace the ICF .UNDP is also developing its CPD (2019-2021) aligned with the UNCF and builds on the achievements of the previous CPD (2016-2018) on Recovery, Resilience and Reaching the Most Vulnerable.

As part of the peace deal (2015), the government has 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 is expected to be launched in the second quarter of 2018.

The UNDP programme supports the Government’s efforts to create an enabling environment for rapid private sector development in key growth sectors such as agriculture and effectively use its natural resources to accelerate inclusive growth. UNDP thus focuses on three key programme areas: (i) Creating an enabling environment for inclusive growth through policy development, enhancing financial literacy in rural areas and effectively linking communities to microfinance services and marketing channels; (ii) Supporting trade capacity development through the Enhanced Integrated Framework for Least Developed Countries to include strengthening institutional capacity for trade policy formulation and implementation within development priorities; and (iii) Strengthening pro-poor development policy through evidence-based planning and budgeting

The programme is a deliberate attempt to nurture growth in the non-oil sector of the economy using the ‘inclusive markets’ approach, creating an enabling environment for inclusive growth through the promotion of small and medium enterprises, supporting effective planning, use and reporting on public and donor resources, and expanding access to health services through the management of four Global Fund grants.

Under the direct supervision of the Deputy Country Director (Programme), the Chief, Programme Advisor of the Human Development & Inclusive Growth Unit acts as a Programme Manager for all aspects of UNDP South Sudan’s programme in the area of poverty reduction, MDGs and HIV and AIDS, overseeing a major portfolio of project initiatives, which are largely Directly Implemented (DIM) by UNDP, and a Programme Unit with a large number of project personnel across all ten states of South Sudan. The main roles of the Chief, Programme Advisor are to provide strategic management of the Human Development and Inclusive Growth programme, including leading the programme team in strategic planning and identification of new programme areas, to oversee and provide quality assurance to project implementation, and to manage the Unit itself.

The Chief Programme Advisor works in close collaboration with the other programme Units (Democratic Governance and Crisis Prevention and Recovery), and the Operations team in the UNDP South Sudan Office to ensure effective and efficient programme delivery within the overall strategy and approach of UNDP in South Sudan.
