1. Background**

Swedish Red Cross and South Sudan Red Cross agreed to implement the project, Community Engagement and Accountability (CEA) which would strengthen the community resilience through the local Red Cross Branches. To build resilience and ownership of projects in communities, the capacities of the local Red Cross branches as well as their accountability towards communities needed to be improved.

The local branches of SSRC are often the first responders to local emergencies and, therefore, also ‘experts’ in terms of what is needed to build the resilience of their communities. The CEA project was started in 2017 and mainly focused on capacity building. The project end-date is 31 March 2020.

The original project had four project locations: Raja; Wau; Terekeka, and Torit. However, in 2019 three other branches were added: Juba, Bor, and Rumbek.

The project uses the RCRC Movement CEA minimum standards as well as the results of the BOCA (Branch Organizational Capacity Assessment) as tools. Gender and Diversity, as well as Safer Access, are also considered in the project.

Overall Goal: Increased participation of vulnerable people to actively affect and influence development through the integration of Community Engagement and Accountability, Gender and Diversity into SSRC projects, branches and ways of working

Outcome 1: Community members’ participation in program implementation is improved, ensuring their views are used for program decisions

Outcome 2: Strengthen SSRC capacity to measure and report on CEA
