SI intervention in South Sudan
Solidarités International (SI) currently implements 2 kinds of programs in South Sudan:
- Emergency Preparedness & Response + WaSH intervention in Malakal PoC (ECHO – 01/05/2016 – 31/03/2017): SI is one of the NGOs contracted by ECHO to be part of the EPR system in order to provide a quick response to crisis. This includes the conduction of rapid assessments and the implementation of emergency WaSH short interventions throughout the whole country. The ongoing ECHO project also covers the WaSH activities conducted in the PoC of Malakal.
- Emergency WaSH interventions in informal settlements such as Wau Shilluk. The WaSH intervention in Wau Shilluk, spontaneous IDP camp located across the river from Malakal, is currently conducted under CHF funding (March – August 2016). The intervention focuses on the provision of clean water, hygiene promotion and environmental sanitation.
The 2016 strategy is to continue along the same angles with the main focus on the WaSH / EP&R interventions and a potential development of Food Security and Livelihood projects. The strategy is oriented towards the following 2 axes:
- Ensure access to emergency WaSH and shelter services for vulnerable and acutely vulnerable populations.
- Provide the conflict-affected populations of South Sudan with durable and sustainable WASH infrastructures and improved access to food security.
