Budget : 2.9 M €

In 2012, ACTED has undertaken an expansion of activities in South Sudan. A Juba level coordination office was opened in 2011, and in 2012 the capital office has expanded to provide additional support to our field offices that opened in Bentiu, Unity State, and Malakal, Upper Nile State. The rapidly changing situation in South Sudan over the past months has led ACTED to up-scale its emergency response capacities, while also continuing to provide basic services in the traditional areas of intervention.

Since January 2012, ACTED has been providing refugee and IDP assistance in Unity and Upper Nile states. In Maban County, this assistance has focused on the life-saving assistance to refugees from Blue Nile State, Sudan. ACTED as camp manager for Jamam refugee camp has strived to provide the basic needs for the population including shelter, waste management, livelihoods, and construction of community infrastructures.

Additionally, ACTED has responded to the new refugee influx in May with the provision of shelter and emergency latrines at transit sites while providing transportation assistance to refugees relocating to permanent settlements. In Unity state, ACTED has focused on the provision of livelihoods assistance to refugees in Nyeel and Pariang refugee camps.

ACTED also continues to build on its traditional areas of intervention, focusing on food security and livelihoods in Western Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap, and water, sanitation and hygiene in both states as well. Tonj North in Warrap was also a new area for ACTED where a Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) project is being implemented in the underserved area. All of these interventions continue to provide both basic and live-saving assistance to vulnerable populations throughout South Sudan.

Context

REACH is a joint global initiative by ACTED, IMPACT Initiatives and UNOSAT with the aim to provide better tools for humanitarian and aid actors for the planning, design and follow-up of humanitarian interventions, particularly with regards to those crisis which induce displacement and/or serious damage to homes, infrastructures and livelihoods. REACH’s activities are facilitated by a dedicated team of assessment, database and mapping experts and conducted in close coordination with other humanitarian agencies and often on behalf of aid coordination structures. Overall, REACH promotes three parallel and complementary services: (i) collection; (ii) processing; and (iii) dissemination of data.

REACH has been active in South Sudan since February 2012, working primarily in refugee camps in Upper Nile and Unity states. To date there are more than 170,000 refugees spread over seven camps in Upper Nile and Unity states. REACH assessment teams have been producing maps and creating comprehensive databases in an effort to inform more effective operational set-up and management of the camps.

In 2013, REACH assessments started to expand its focus on the socio-cultural organization and dynamic of the camps, as well as natural resource depletion and energy use among the population. The reports produced as a result of these assessments have been used in targeting interventions and overall camp management. The program will extend partner services as well as beyond the refugee context to include mapping of natural resources, impact evaluation, conflict mapping, etc.

Through upcoming funding from CHF (Common Humanitarian Fund), ACTED is looking for a technical expertise to support the team in implementing Project in support to the Non Food Items / Emergency Shelter (NFI / ES) cluster for vulnerable flood-affected and internally displaced individuals in Western Bahr El Ghazal and Warrap States in South Sudan.
