Tdh :

Terre des hommes (Tdh) is the leading Swiss organisation for children’s aid. Since 1960, Tdh has helped build a better future for deprived children and their communities, making an impact with innovative and sustainable solutions. Active in more than 45 countries, Tdh works with local and international partners to develop and implement field projects which improve the daily lives of over 3 million children and their relatives, in the domains of health, protection and emergency relief. This engagement is financed by individual and institutional support, with administrative costs kept to a minimum.

Tdh has been working in South Sudan since 2013. In 2016, following the clashes that took place in the Equatoria Region, Yei River State (Former Central Equatoria State) was identified as zone of major humanitarian concern. At the beginning of 2017, Tdh launched a program in Yei town to improve overall child protection outcomes through an integrated approach, including WASH, FSL and education projects.

Tdh implements a full-scale child protection and psychosocial support project in Yei, aimed at supporting the most vulnerable children affected by the conflict, including unaccompanied and separated children, with case management, social services, direct and targeted support and capacity building of local child protection actors.

The security context in Yei remains concerning and attacks against the civilian population in the rural area happen regularly – leading to displacements of populations and access issues for humanitarian workers. With this context in mind, Tdh will implement Education in Emergency programming in areas within Yei River State with identified needs of support for access to education and with little to no access to humanitarian assistance. The project will deliver a two-fold approach to teacher training, providing regular in-service training and supportive supervision for teachers, in addition to partnering with the Yei Teaching Training College to deliver formal training in pedagogical skills to untrained but active teachers. Tdh will ensure mainstreaming of child protection through training on appropriate context related prevention and response mechanisms for child protection risks.

Background

In South Sudan, the cumulative effect of years of conflict, violence and destroyed livelihoods has led to a humanitarian emergency of high proportions. The recently revitalized peace process promises to offer new opportunities in the coming years for South Sudan’s women, men and children. The launch of the National Development Strategy 2018-2021 with the overall objective of consolidating peace and stabilizing the economy echoes the peace optimism.

However, under nutrition remains a major public health emergency in several parts of South Sudan. The nutrition situation in the country remains critical due to a combination of factors mainly, poor harvest, dry spells and past conflict. The findings of the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis for January-July 2019 predicts that food security is expected to worsen, with a projection that about 7.17 million people (63 percent of the total population) will face acute food insecurity or worse in the projection period of February to April 2019. This will be an increase of 11% from the 6.33 million people (57% of the population) from the same period in 2018. In projection period of May to July 2019, and in the total absence of humanitarian food assistance, an estimated 7.68 million people (67% of the population) will face Crisis acute food insecurity or worse, an increase of 8% from the 7.08 million people (63% of the population) from the same period in 2018. The Food Security and Nutrition Monitoring Survey (FSNMS) conducted in June 2018 reported that seven out of ten states, had very high prevalence of acute malnutrition among children under the age of five years (prevalence of global acute malnutrition (GAM) ≥ 15%, or severe acute malnutrition (SAM) > 2%). Nearly 860,000 children under the age of five years and 600,000 pregnant and lactating women are expected to be affected by acute malnutrition in 2019.

The Nutrition Cluster was established in 2010 in South Sudan and currently comprises 64 active partners from Government, UN agencies, Donors and national and international Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) supporting the implementation of nutrition responses on the ground. Detection and treatment of children and women affected by severe or moderate acute malnutrition takes place at 57 stabilization centres (SC), 899 outpatient treatment program (OTP) sites and 854 targeted supplementary feeding program (TSFP) sites, established across the country.

The Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) are generated annually by Clusters to serve both strategic and operational guidance for programming by partners. The HNO establishes the number of people in need and the targets while the HRP outlines the strategies and activities to be implemented, in order to reach the planned targets. The core activities of the Nutrition Cluster are treatment and prevention of SAM and MAM. The Nutrition HRP budget is estimated by activity-based costing (or unit-based costing).

Implementing partners (national and international NGOs) rely on own funds or grants allocated by donors either directly or through United Nations agencies for nutrition service delivery. The HRP funding is monitored through the web-based Financial Tracking System (FTS). **

Rationale for the assignment

Activity-based costing, or unit-based costing, depends on reliable estimates of unit costs for the planned activities. Activity-based costing for humanitarian appeals refers to a method of estimating overall resource needs for a humanitarian response plan (HRP), using average costs per sectoral activity, per person served, or per item delivered. In this approach the costs per sector are determined on a unit cost per person per type of activity; sectors identify humanitarian activities, with indicators and targets, and present these in the sector response plans.

A costed HRP is an excellent tool for advocacy and resource mobilization. In South Sudan, the HRP budget is often questioned, mainly due to lack of robust and consensual unit cost for SAM and MAM treatment. A case in point is 2016, when the cost of treating a child with SAM was estimated at US$ 207, which included 9% technical assistance, 20% cross sectoral and 8% cost recovery. However, the cost did not include many aspects such as contribution from CSO partners. Therefore, the SAM unit cost was revisited in 2018, in a more comprehensive way, with a new estimate of US$ 350 per SAM child treated. While the revised unit was closer to some published in the literature, still there was no consensus among partners and donors.

Furthermore, cost drivers, such as, infrastructure, human resources, equipment, supplies, logistics, security, and other related cost, remain unclear. The lack of clarity on unit cost of treating a child with acute malnutrition leads to incessant misunderstanding in budget allocations. The complex and uneven operating environment coupled with logistical constraints, and operation costs which differ from one region to another makes costing of intervention much more challenging in South Sudan.

In South Sudan, series of attempts to use the FTS to derive unit costs of treatment from the funded nutrition budgets have not been successful because of unreliable data. Furthermore, the FTS is not regularly updated, and where updates are provided, concerns are raised about possible double submission by donor and implementing partners, or inaccuracy in the case of integrated programs with a nutrition component, and multi-year programs.

It is therefore critical that standard basic unit costs are established to inform the development of country-level costed plan, program effectiveness and budgetary analysis for nutrition.

Purpose / Tasks and expected results

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to establish an average unit cost of delivering treatment for children with SAM and MAM in South Sudan. The cost estimation will include cost of supplies, logistics, programme and administrative components from UN agencies and NGOs.
