humanitarian response plan 2015 | Midyear update

foreword
Stay, protect and deliver

At the outset of 2015, our pledge was to stand with civilians who were bearing the brunt of the
civil war: a conflict entering its second year and which came to a country ranking lower in terms
of human development than just about every other place on earth. Six months ago, we thought
that violence and suffering had peaked and that peace was on the horizon. We were wrong.
Political intransigence left peace ever more distant; war raged on and is leading to economic
collapse. The consequences for the 12 million people of South Sudan have been devastating
and outpaced aid agencies ability to keep up with the tide of human suffering.
As of mid-2015, almost 8 million people in South Sudan are food insecure. 4.6 million are
severely food insecure. 2.1 million people have had to flee from their homes. In half of the
country, one in three children are acutely malnourished and 250,000 children face starvation.
This is the situation which confronts the aid community, a group of non-governmental organisations and UN agencies committed to providing the best protection and assistance to people in
need, on time, based on the principles of humanity, impartiality and neutrality. We have been
tested in different ways, but in the overwhelming majority of cases we have managed to gain
access and provide life-saving aid to millions of people. We have managed to protect civilians
and to provide the basics to keep people alive and alleviate suffering. And increasingly, we are
working to ensure coherence between humanitarian action and development in key areas such
as agriculture, education, and health.
The political support that we have received from a broad coalition of countries, including those
that give resources, has been vital and heartening. Whilst the frustration and disillusionment at
the lack of progress in the peace talks rightly runs high, standing with our brothers and sisters
in South Sudan is the order of the day, both now and in the future.
This appeal the joint work of over one hundred aid agencies has been streamlined to take
account of peoples needs on the one hand and what the aid community can actually achieve in
a very tough environment, on the other. Our financial requirement now stands at US$1.63 billion
for 2015, of which donors already have generously put forward US$656 million. Resources are
urgently needed, including for air assets to facilitate rapid response missions, the delivery of
survival kits and to re-supply partners with a presence in deep field locations.
I cannot speak on behalf of the people of South Sudan, but I am certain they would thank you
for your support as do all of us in the aid community serving people in South Sudan.

Sincerely

Toby Lanzer
Humanitarian Coordinator

CHANGES IN CONTEXT AND NEEDS

Changes in context
and Needs
Economic downturn is compounding the consequences of conflict

Intensified violent conflict is destroying the viability of communities and generating new and
recurrent displacements of vulnerable populations.
Economic stress is generating inflation and shortages of critical goods and services.
Deepening austerity is further threatening publicly managed social services, including the
public health system.
Food insecurity, hunger and malnutrition are deepening and spreading geographically.
Aid agencies face both sharp increases in needs and significant constraints on humanitarian
action.

People across South Sudan are struggling to manage the consequences and implications of multiple crises: political, economic
and social. Even before the current crises, South Sudan was characterized by low human development indicators, nascent institutions, government austerity, fundamentally non-existent transport
infrastructure and a climate system that renders more than half of
the country physically inaccessible by road for six months of of the
year. In the face of appalling suffering, humanitarian efforts have
expanded and resulted in remarkable achievements. However, the
changing context is deepening existing vulnerabilities and generating new humanitarian requirements, some in areas where aid
agencies dont yet have operations.

Violent conflict
Between mid-December 2013 and end May 2015, more than 2
million people fled their homes as a result of violence, including
1.55 million people internally and 552,000 refugees in neighboring
states. In the absence of a viable peace agreement or respect for
the 23 January 2014 Cessation of Hostilities Agreement, conflict
has raged unchecked in many parts of Greater Upper Nile.
Fighting has affected a further 750,000 people, many of whom
had been displaced repeatedly by earlier violence. Their vulnerability is high, and, as the rainy season comes, people on the
move will be particularly vulnerable to seasonal flooding. The most

Counties with the most severe needs are characterized by a lack of basic services coupled
with high food insecurity and displaced population. Several areas close to front lines fall into
this category. Some areas where there are few
displaced people, are mapped less severely
affected in this analysis, though other needs
may be high. As the indicators are proxies for
consequences of conflict, some counties are
assessed as severe due to a lack of basic
services.

Introduction

humanitarian response plan 2015 | Midyear update

recent fighting has been characterized by widespread burning


of homes, demolition of schools, hospitals and health posts,
wholesale theft of tens of thousands of livestock, destruction
of water points and other assaults on infrastructure and assets
necessary for communal life. There has been no apparent effort
to distinguish military from civilian targets, with shelling of population centers and indiscriminate firing of weapons into settlements.
Non-combatants, including women and children, have been killed
and injured as a result. Sexual violence and other outrages upon
personal dignity are widespread. Despite signed commitments by
parties to the conflict to end the use of children in armed groups
by 2016, the pace and number of forced abductions and coercive
recruitment has increased in recent months. It is estimated that
13,000 children have been recruited to armed forces and groups.
Eighty-two schools are occupied, of these fifty-one are occupied
by displaced people and the rest by armed groups. Land mines
and explosive remnants of war are killing and injuring civilians,
threatening communities and limiting the mobility of civilians and
aid workers. Deadly instability has persisted in Lakes State, while
periodic eruptions of violence have threatened some other states.
Humanitarian agencies were forced to re-locate from southern
Unity in May. Humanitarian convoys and compounds have been
attacked and looted. In April, NGOs temporarily withdrew from
Pagak due to harassment and threats, though they later returned.
At the Protection of Civilians sites within the UNMISS base in
Melut, where civilians were seeking safety, four civilians were
killed and eight were seriously injured when two mortar bombs
landed within the compound on 20 May. Aid workers face risks to
their safety. In April, three aid workers went missing in Fashoda
area in Upper Nile state in April, and humanitarian response
remains suspended there.

Economic stress
Economic stress affects needs through rising food and commodity
prices, and, likely, reduced capacity for service delivery. Falling
domestic oil production, depressed global oil prices, poor
revenue controls and budgetary overspending has generated
inflation, a rapidly widening gap between the official exchange

rate and the black market rate, and disruptions in government


and NGO service delivery. Requisite policy measures are under
discussion, but a deepening economic crisis appears likely in
the near term. An acute shortage of hard currency is causing
shortage in the supply of food, water and fuel and rapidly rising
cost of living.
Meanwhile, economic factors are rendering humanitarian operations both more difficult as well as expensive. With urban water
systems dependent upon tankered water, access to safe water
supplies can be affected by fuel shortages. South Sudan is dependent on neighboring countries for its food supplies, the prices of
which increase with the ever-widening dual exchange rate. The
estimated minimum expenditure basket in rural areas has more
than doubled from the same time last year. The economic situation
has protection implications as well. Survival sex and gender based
violence are on the increase as women and girls are exploited
in exchange for food or money. Crime, including robbery and
other violence, is deepening community insecurity overall and is
affecting humanitarian offices, assets and vehicle fleets as well
as the residences of national and international humanitarian staff.
Markets continue to be targeted and destroyed, traders report
being fearful to cross conflict lines to deliver goods. The impact
on employment is already evident; while typically 20-30 per cent
of households derive income from skilled or unskilled labor, recent
surveys indicate this has fallen to 6-8 per cent.

Food insecurity, hunger, and malnutrition


In a country of some 11.6 million people, 7.9 million are expected
to face food insecurity this rainy season (IPC levels 2, 3 and 4),
including 3.3 million people in stressed food insecurity who will
resort to negative coping strategies such as selling assets, skipping meals or foregoing health care. Some 4.6 million people are
already facing crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity
(IPC levels 3 and 4).
This represents an increase of 720,000 more people than the
same period in 2014 and 3 million more people compared to July
2013. Critically, over one million people will be in IPC level 4, one

Introduction

level away from the combined levels of food insecurity, malnutrition


and mortality that characterize famine. Nutrition surveys in five of
the countrys ten states currently indicate levels of global acute
malnutrition in excess of the emergency threshold, and in some
areas of the country coupled with significantly elevated rates of
mortality in children aged five years and younger. Against a case
load of a quarter of a million children with Severe Acute Malnutrition
(SAM), it is estimated that only 60 per cent of children affected
by malnutrition nationwide will be assisted. An estimated 610,000
people living in poverty in urban areas will be negatively impacted
by economic stress.

As a new nation emerging from decades of conflict, marginalization and underdevelopment, South Sudan lacked basic social
services even before the current crisis. Education indicators were
among the lowest in the world and have deteriorated further due
to the conflict since December 2013. Fewer than 10 per cent
of children finish primary school, less than 35 per cent of girls
participate in school and more than one million children and
adolescents are out of school. The conflict has forced a further
400,000 children out of school. Health outcomes are equally
poor and basic health coverage is limited. Diseases of epidemic
potential include cholera, measles, kala azar, hepatitis E, diarrheal diseases, acute respiratory infection, and malaria. Risk of
outbreak remains high, driven by displacement, poor sanitation
and lack of clean water. Capacities to manage these and other
health threats, such as HIV and AIDS and complications during
pregnancy are limited and diminishing. While the number fluctuates and is reported weekly, currently 214 health facilities out
of 410 (59 per cent) are no longer functional in Jonglei, Upper
Nile and Unity States. Country-wide, although solutions between
Government and development partners are under discussion,
a stock out of essential drugs from October 2015 is expected
to affect 1,400 health facilities, putting hundreds of thousands
of people, mostly children, at risk of dying from easily treated
diseases. Health partners will need to respond to the expected
increase in illness.

Challenges to humanitarian action


In South Sudan, the IASC-declared Level 3 emergency continues,
reflecting not only the depth of the crisis but a continued need
for humanitarian agencies to further enhance their capacities and
resources as a corporate emergency. Notwithstanding high level
proclamations in support of principled humanitarian action and the
committed efforts by some civil servants, relationships between
authorities and humanitarians are frequently tested. Access
constraints are reported on a daily basis, causing delays and
diverting human resources to continuous dialogue with authorities
to ensure the movement of humanitarian personnel and supplies.
More than a dozen aid workers have been killed since December

have been looted with impunity. Armed actors have terrorized,

Civilian sites. Where it has become too unsafe for assistance and
protection work, humanitarians have been forced to temporarily
suspend operations. Significant efforts were undertaken to maximize the pre-positioning of humanitarian cargo during the dry
season, but exceptionally heavy rains, a lack of investment in road
maintenance and limited humanitarian resources for infrastructure improvements continue to render the humanitarian operation
exceedingly reliant on air assets, both fixed wing and helicopter.

STRATEGic response

Coordinated action with resources prioritized to capitalize on the seasons, secure access and scale up

From the outset of 2015 aid agencies planned to:


I. Save lives and alleviate suffering by providing assistance to people in need.
II. Protect the rights of the most vulnerable people, including their freedom of movement.
III. Improve self reliance and coping capacity of people in need by protecting, restoring, and
promoting their livelihoods.

Achievements to date
The Strategic Response Plan (SRP) reflects the combined efforts
of the humanitarian community in South Sudan to identify the
humanitarian implications of crises and threats and to determine a coordinated and prioritized strategy to save lives, reduce
suffering and mitigate its impact on the livelihoods of the most
vulnerable populations.
The conflict that erupted in December 2013 rapidly escalated
humanitarian requirements while crippling humanitarian capabilities in the most affected areas, including Juba. After the first difficult months of the crisis, significant temporary surges of humanitarian resources translated into focused humanitarian action that
ultimately assisted 3.5 million people by years end. In 2014,
humanitarian organizations returned to many original areas of
operation, established static presence in new areas and innovated
with flexible, rapid response modalities. Donor partners responded
robustly to identified resource requirements. The risk of famine was

averted due to the combined efforts of the people of South Sudan,


humanitarians and authorities, with a marked scale up in nutrition
response over the past year. Efforts by health, water, sanitation and
hygiene partners brought a cholera outbreak under control.
Similar challenges face the humanitarian community in South Sudan
in 2015, and response continues. As of 30 April, 1.7 million people
have been reached with assistance of some kind. 1.1 million have
been reached with food assistance, 730,000 were reached with livelihoods support, and over one million have been reached with clean
water and sanitation. Each day, up to 140,000 people are protected
within Protection of Civilians sites. Nearly 50,000 children have been
admitted to treatment for severe acute malnutrition. Another 112,500
were admitted to treatment for moderate malnutrition. Over 200,000
children and mothers are enrolled in blanket supplementary feeding.
Over 1.1 million outpatient health consultations have occurred in
conflict affected states. Seventy-nine percent of disease alerts have
been responded to within 48 hours. 700,000 children have been
vaccinated against polio.

Adapting response to changing needs


Reaching people in the deep field
In 2015, aid agencies continue to manage multiple threats to
the operating environment in the face of expanding vulnerability. Generalized violence and direct attacks, such as those in
Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile State in the spring of 2015, again
forced humanitarians to evacuate staff, cease critical services for
profoundly vulnerable populations, and abandon humanitarian
compounds and assets. In response, humanitarians innovated with
enhanced coordination systems, including closer collaboration
with UN and NGO security professionals, to minimize disruptions
in services. The Rapid Response Modality, which assisted over
1.5 million people in 2014, is relied upon by a range of humanitarians to provide assistance where there is no (or only very limited)
static presence of humanitarian organizations but where mobile
teams can stay for short periods of time to conduct assessments,
distributions and monitoring. The escalating violence in Unity
and Upper Nile States has caused people to flee to small islands
or other areas without air access, so humanitarians drawn from
a range of organizations are developing lightweight, portable
survival kits for delivery by low altitude helicopter drop, canoe or
head carry. More support will be needed to fund the helicopters
required to continue to reach people in highly inaccessible areas.

Improving efficiency
Humanitarians have focused on sharpening divisions of labor,
capitalizing on complementarities and enhancing efficiency. In
2015, the humanitarian community utilized contributions from late
2014 and the dry season to procure and pre-position in deep field
locations a portion of key commodities in advance of the rainy
season, thereby realizing important savings in both terms of money
and eventual response times. Logistics bases with nearly 7,000 m3
in expanded storage capacities have been developed to facilitate
the pre-positioning of commodities. Humanitarian hubs have been
constructed in Bentiu, Bor, Malakal, and Mingkaman. These maximize efficiencies in common services and, within the PoC sites,
afford enhanced protection to humanitarian workers. The Camp
Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) cluster relies on a
system of county focal points drawn from agencies in static locations to improve tracking of displaced people and related humanitarian responses. The system has expanded to 19 counties in
Lakes, Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile. Other clusters are innovating
similar approaches. OCHA is supporting these and other partners
by coordinating from operational centers in key locations outside
state capitals where partners were already on the ground. The FSL
cluster pipeline for emergency livelihood kits has developed and
implemented a new information system that tracks inputs from the
earliest stage of procurement to delivery to beneficiaries.

Ensuring humanitarian access


Responsibility for protection and assistance rests foremost with the
Government of the Republic of South Sudan. Similar obligations
pertain to other parties to the conflict. At a minimum, where unable
to provide assistance and protection, all parties bear a responsibility
to ensure unfettered access by impartial humanitarians, in line with
international obligations as well as the 23 January 2014 Cessation
of Hostilities Agreement. Notwithstanding, negotiating humanitarian access and creating and preserving humanitarian space

Source: UNOCHA and humanitarian partners

is a persistent challenge for the humanitarian community in South


Sudan. There are multiple layers of de facto and de jure authorities
which can impinge upon or facilitate safe humanitarian action. As
a neutral community, humanitarians will continue to engage with
all parties to safeguard principled humanitarian action, regardless
of who or where such authorities are found. Humanitarians will
continue to call upon authorities to ensure that those tasked with
liaison functions within the Parties to the Conflict are appropriately
funded, staffed and equipped so they can responsibly execute
their duties. Denial of humanitarian access to children remains a
grave child rights violation, with 13 incidents already reported and
confirmed this year. The Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism on
grave violations of children's rights in situations of armed conflict
country task force will continue to document and report on this and
the other five grave child rights violations.

Counting the costs


As long as there is no peace, the South Sudanese people need
the solidarity of the international community to help support their
lives, livelihoods, and dignity. The Humanitarian Response Plan is
a plea for support to save lives, provide protection, and support
livelihoods where possible.
This mid-year review is the product of rigorous prioritization based
on growing needs and considering organizations' capacity to
deliver assistance. Even with rapid response operations and a fully
funded air operation an ideal scenario there are limitations to
logistics capacity and transportation infrastructure. This, the reality
of crises elsewhere in the world that require donor resources, and
the protracted nature of South Sudans overlapping crises, mean
the aid community will not be able to reach everyone.
Some 7.9 million people 68 per cent of the population face
food insecurity. Humanitarians aim to reach only the 4.6 million
people at crisis and emergency levels of food insecurity: this does
not include the 3.3 million people whose food security is stressed.
People living at this level are skipping meals, foregoing heath care
or school, or selling their assets to survive. As they stretch their
resources to survive this season, they are putting themselves at
even greater risk for next year.
Out of a projected 1.95 million displaced people by the end of
the year, there is only capacity to reach 45 per cent with camp
management services.

Upholding the primacy of protection


In collaboration with UNMISS, partners are providing assistance
and protection to an average of up to 140,000 people per day at
six UN Protection of Civilian sites in five states. Whilst imperfect,
the PoCs provide a form of comparatively safe refuge in the midst
of violence for civilians at risk. Significant infrastructure investments have transformed some PoCs from inhumane swamps to
temporary communities with a modicum of dignity. All partners
look forward to the day when civilians no longer need the protection afforded by PoC sites. Until then, humanitarians will work with
UNMISS, communities and authorities to make progress towards
realizing minimum standards of humanitarian assistance whilst
simultaneously doing their utmost to ensure that humanitarian
assistance reaches vulnerable populations outside the PoCs.
Humanitarians will continue to work to reunite families separated
by conflict, such as facilitating phone contacts from PoCs between
parents and children. Efforts to mitigate psychosocial distress
also remain pertinent, with over 600,000 children believed to be in
need of dedicated psychosocial support.

Operating in an economically stressed environment


Contingency plans include a range of measures, such as
outsourcing additional humanitarian functions to neighboring
countries or regional and headquarters offices to preserve value
for money, protect staff and ensure continued operations. The

Survival kits
Following recent clashes in Unity and Upper Nile states,
up to 750,000 people have been cut off from aid, without
access to food, shelter, drinking water, health care and
protection. Some 291 aid workers from 27 agencies were
relocated out of the area, as aid agencies compounds
were damaged and relief supplies looted.
The delivery of survival kits is a quick, flexible and innovative approach to provide a minimum level of assistance
to affected people in locations that cannot be reached
through other approaches, including mobile, rapid, and
static response modalities. Some 30,000 kits are expected
to be delivered in phase one.
Each survival kit weighs 9 Kg, is designed for a household
of five, and contains high energy biscuits, a fishing kit,
vegetable seeds, oral rehydration salts, water purification
tablets, 2 collapsible jerry-cans, 2 mosquito nets, and a
kitchen set. Kits are distributed from helicopters following
appropriate security clearances, supported by staff on
the ground.

16 strategIC response

humanitarian response plan 2015 | Midyear update

Even if displacement hovers at 1.5 million total, over 500,000 people


who are on the move will receive minimal support: aid agencies will
work to provide as many as possible with basic supplies, but many
will not be reached. Some two million children are out of school.
Education partners will aim to reach 450,000 less than one
quarter - with assistance. That leaves hundreds of thousands out
of school: a potential lost generation.

The most serious consequences may require humanitarian


intervention.

In half the countrys states, one in three children is malnourished.


Nutrition partners estimate they can only reach 60 per cent of
them: that means 85,200 will not receive treatment for severe acute
malnutrition and 206,400 will not receive support for moderate
acute malnutrition. Malnourished children are more vulnerable to
disease, and they are more likely to die. The international community must continue to stand by the people of South Sudan. But not
everyone who needs help can be reached.

Aid agencies are planning to provide life-saving assistance, especially safe drinking water, access to sanitation, nutrition monitoring
and treatment, livelihoods assistance, and public health support.

Only with an end to the fighting, and the economic and social
stability that follow, can millions of South Sudanese live in safety
and dignity.

Managing economic stress


The economic situation will expand and intensify threats to
peoples lives and livelihoods.
An estimated 610,000 people living in poverty in urban areas
will be negatively impacted by dysfunctional markets, high food
prices, and other limitations on basic service provision.
Peoples health, nutrition, food security, education, and dignity are
threatened as cost of living rises due to inflation and basic service
provision potentially suffers.

General Price Index for all items (Jan 2015=100)


Juba, Wau and South Sudan

Responding to needs
Aid agencies are focused on gathering information, data and analyses, including food security and nutrition surveys in urban areas.

Peoples food security and nutrition could be threatened.


Livelihoods partners will work to support livelihoods alternatives,
including gardens in urban and peri-urban areas. Nutrition partners will strengthen community outreach for early detection and
referral of malnutrition cases. Plans are in progress to strengthen
urban nutrition projects in Juba, Torit, Wau, and Yambio working in
concert with emergency and development partners.
Due to rising fuel prices and other factors, economic stress limits
access to safe water, as much of the population relies on trucked
water. To respond, partners will need to prepare to provide purification tablets and chlorine, as well as information campaigns and
community mobilization on their use.
Agencies are currently conducting assessments to understand
potential concentrations of urban need and ways to respond
should economic stress continue to worsen. They are collaborating with development partners, church and religious groups,
schools, and health institutions to determine when and how food
support could be provided.

Mass displacement continues, with more people on the move


following increased hostilities in April and May. Many people
have been displaced multiple times. The most acute needs are in
Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile but inter-communal displacement
in Lakes State is also driving needs. Continuous movement of
people near the conflict's front lines is testing partners ability to
reach people, especially as insecurity has caused some partners
to withdraw.
Since the start of the crisis up to 145,000 people have sought
protection within UNMISS Protection of Civilians (PoC sites).
In Unity State, the cluster reports over 90,000 people newly
displaced between 31 December and early June. Large and
recurrent movement of displaced people into the PoCs has been
reported. At the pace of 20,000 arrivals into PoC sites in April and
May, site development will continue to be a priority.
Inter-clan violence and intimidation of humanitarian staff are
on the rise. Focus group discussions and interviews reveal
displaced people are not optimistic about the peace process
sites of displacement are becoming increasingly tense as people
wonder when a solution will come. Meetings with people living
inside PoCs indicate that most would not leave the sites unless
provided safe transport and passage to their places of origin.
About one million displaced people live in host communities.
The latest displacement tracking monitoring report (http://bit.ly/
DTMApril) highlights that displaced people's main food sources
are food distributions and host communities themselves, whose
own stock of food is declining.

The cluster will focus on improving living conditions for people


living in PoCs, spontaneous settlements, and collective centers
and monitor the conditions of people sheltering with host communities. The number of people to be reached has been revised
down from 1.5 million, taking into account logistical and security
constraints as well as highly fluid population movements. The
clusters priority states remain Jonglei and Unity, and parts of
Central Equatoria, Lakes, and Warrap.

Strategy to respond
yyContinuous

improvement of living conditions of displaced


people and decongestion of sites will be achieved through
the development of new PoC sites. In Malakal and Bentiu PoC
sites up to 98,000 displaced people will relocate to the newlydeveloped extensions before the start of the rainy season.
More funding and development is needed, however, to accommodate new arrivals.

yyContinue to strengthen the county focal point program to estab-

lish a relevant, up-to-date database of displacement within


South Sudan. Displacement tracking, monitoring and reporting
will be expanded to include Movement Trends and Tracking

(MTT), linking up existing information networks of OCHA,


NGOs, and the existing Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM),
with the aim to increase the coverage of displacement sites to
100 per cent.

yyDevelop

creative, long-term strategies to assist displaced


people in PoCs as a way to transition to more sustainable
models of intervention. Safety and security of displaced people,
as well as their access to livelihoods and housing opportunities,
are key requirements for voluntary relocations and the cluster
is committed to supporting pilot programming to explore
these options.

yyRoll

out improved capacity building programs in states,


counties, and sites where training on camp management has
been requested.

yyManage humanitarian hubs in displacement sites and settlements in Bor, Bentiu, Malakal, and Mingkaman.

yyAccountability

to displaced populations will continue to be


mainstreamed in all site management activities to improve
response through better and more transparent targeting and
more involved community participation.

The escalated conflict and related displacement has led to a


loss of static partner presence, assets, and infrastructure for
education in Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile. In the short term, at
least, partners will be unable to reach children and young people
displaced by the fighting there. Psychosocial needs are likely to
be acute.
The economic crisis makes it difficult to secure volunteer teachers,
and increased pressure on children and young people to participate in labour and livelihoods activities, disrupting education and
exposing them, potentially, to protection risks.
Increased food insecurity will lead to learners and teachers coming
to school hungry or with poor nutrition, disrupting teaching and
learning. Reduced attendance of both teachers and learners is
likely as they participate in labor or livelihoods work.

Strategy to respond
The existing education strategy focuses on providing free education, psychosocial support and meaningful activities in protective
environments to displaced children and youth, and to the host
communities receiving them, in Greater Upper Nile.
The escalated conflict does not affect the clusters core strategy
so much as the geographic areas of intervention. The cluster
had a relatively strong presence in southern Unity, which has
been severely disrupted by the recent conflict. Activities in the
second half of the year will focus on resuming services to those
displaced from southern Unity in any accessible locations they
return or displace to, including PoC sites.
The cluster initially targeted only one third of people in need. Should
populations in southern Unity and Upper Nile continue to be inaccessible, there is a large case-load of children and young people
in geographic areas which were de-prioritized in favour of the most
acutely affected areas now inaccessible due to conflict, but which
continue to host significant displaced people in need of emergency
education (for example several counties in Lakes State). Existing
partner presence in such locations will be scaled up.

humanitarian response plan 2015 | Midyear update

cluster response plans

While maintaining the core focus on formal and non-formal education, cluster projects will also incorporate activities that can provide
some short term support to those suffering under increased
economic pressure and food insecurity, including allowances for
volunteer education in emergencies facilitators in areas where
teachers are not paid salaries, vocational education for adolescents, emergency school feeding, and, in areas where schools
have been closed due to damage, support for school rehabilitation.
The perpetration of atrocities against children documented
in recent conflict episodes highlights the continuing need for
teachers and education volunteers to be trained in psychosocial support. The cluster will capitalize on the strong suite of
psychosocial support, life skills and functional literacy materials
developed with UNESCO for education in emergencies in South
Sudan, and training of teachers and volunteers on education in
emergencies, psychosocial support, school management and life
skills throughout the rainy season.
The impact of the crisis on the education system means that the
cluster must adjust its strategy to not only meet immediate needs
but also to adapt to an ongoing crisis. The impetus is therefore on
partners to:

a) 
Ensure that the quality of education in emergencies is as
strong as possible, including an initiative in the second half
of 2015 to audit and standardize the quality of education in
emergencies training.
b) Continue and strengthen linkages between emergency-initiated learning spaces with development initiatives.
c) 
Consistently place the ownership of education in emergencies initiatives in the hands of communities e.g. training and
forming mobile community-based education in emergencies
teams, emergency school management committees and youth
committees into whose stewardship temporary learning spaces
will be transferred.
In light of the likelihood of continued need, the education pipeline
must be topped up now, both to cover the rest of 2015, and to
ensure there is no break over the end of the calendar year, which
is a crucial moment for pre-positioning and distributing education supplies at the return of the dry season and in preparation
for the 2016 school year. Simultaneously, partners are exploring
less resource-heavy and logistically burdensome ways to meet
ongoing needs for education supplies, including local procurement and printing.

Changes in needs
Deepening food insecurity is a result of conflict and insecurity,
limited market functionality, high food prices caused by fastrising inflation and depreciation of the local currency, diminishing
purchasing power, depletion of household food stocks and high
cost of living.
In April overall food insecurity rose to 7.7 million (IPC Phase 2, 3,
and 4) and is expected to further increase to 7.9 million people
between May and July, with 4.6 million of these at crisis or emergency levels. Those people at stressed levels of food insecurity
(level 2) cannot sustain their livelihoods or meet their food needs
without engaging in negative coping strategies.
Renewed fighting in several areas in the Greater Upper Nile States
has caused further population displacements during the critical
time of planting, The loss of yet another harvest will contribute
further to food insecurity In the affected areas.
Finally, reduced oil revenues is creating economic pressures that
are impacting urban livelihoods. Staple food prices hikes have
driven a 40 per cent rise in the minimum expenditure of households on food and non-food items since January. Wage increases
are not keeping pace with the rising cost of living, while market
dependency is increasing towards the lean season and is higher
than in comparison to last year. Data collected in April suggests
that some 610,000 people in urban areas, or 25 per cent of the
urban population, may already be affected. Half of these are in
Juba and Wau. This number is likely to increase as needs deepen,
giving rise to a new urban humanitarian need.

Strategy to respond
Food assistance will be provided to communities in IPC 3 and 4
based on needs and keeping seasonality and market access in
mind. The FSL cluster and the cash and market working group
are committed to exploring the feasibility of cash and voucher
programme where possible. Support to the poorest urban communities will be required. While unconditional food assistance in urban
areas may not be appropriate due to challenges of security and
targeting, the provision of food assistance through schools (school
meals, take home rations), church groups (for destitute populations
in particularly poor communities) and health institutions (ensuring
food supplies for families with malnourished or sick members),
offers opportunities to reach some of the poorest people in urban
areas. Livelihoods will also be supported through kitchen gardens
and small scale agriculture in urban and semi urban communities.
The cluster will also seek to re-assess the food security and nutrition situation and response in the Protection of Civilians sites and
displacement sites, where approximately 240,000 people are
currently residing. Depending on nutrition surveys and assessment, an appropriate strategy will be devised leading towards the
bolstering of nutrition services and transition from unconditional
monthly food assistance towards an appropriately targeted and/
or conditional response.
The FSL cluster will also target populations affected by the
renewed fighting in the Greater Upper Nile States. These populations have fled their land and will miss the planting season. The
FSL cluster will work in close collaboration with other clusters (NFI,
Nutrition, WASH, Protection) in order to provide lifesaving inputs to
those in need. Because of the foreseen increased food insecurity,
especially in the Greater Bahr el Ghazal, the target beneficiaries
of livelihood inputs will increase from 2.8 million people to 3.5
million people. Urban and semi urban areas will be included in the
response in order to avoid hunger and malnutrition. These interventions are particularly critical in the Greater Upper Nile region but
also in non-conflict states to avoid increased food deficits.

yyIPC Level 2 (Stressed) Indicates people are already using

negative coping strategies (skipping meals, selling assets,


etc) to have enough to eat.

Strategies to help South Sudanese communities in their own


efforts to address hunger, malnutrition and threats to their livelihood systems include:

yyTimely

provision of assorted crop seeds (e.g., sesame,


sorghum, maize, cow-peas, and groundnuts), vegetable seeds,
tools and storage.

yyAnimal health and production through supporting mass livestock vaccination and veterinary support for the treatment of
livestock against diseases; supporting cold chain systems; and
human resource capacity.

yySupport to fisheries and aquaculture for those who depend on

fisheries as a source of livelihood, protein and income (e.g., for


the majority of those who reside along main rivers such as Nile
and Sobat) through the provision of fishing gear, reductions in
post-harvest losses through improved fish handling equipment
and marketing of catches.

yySupport

to urban and semi-urban communities on kitchen


gardening as quick impact projects to cover monthly food
basket gap.

yyExploring market based livelihoods options, like income genera-

tion activities and trainings followed by business startup grants


and market linkages to ensure sustainability.

yyPartners will focus on supporting: creation and rehabilitation of

assets, investment in human capital, promotion of alternative


livelihood strategies.

South Sudan faces a major public health crisis, with disruption


of essential primary and secondary health services due to the
conflict and limited capacity for basic service delivery.
Some 57 per cent of health facilities in the three states most
affected by conflict are not functioning. Preventative care, vaccination campaigns, and cold chain capacity are compromised.
Reproductive health services, and psychosocial services are limited.
As the rainy season approaches, partners expect a seasonal
increase in water borne diseases including heightened risk of
cholera. While partners have been able to respond to 77 per cent
of outbreaks, capacity to respond to outbreaks on the ground
is limited.

Trauma cases due to fighting continue to be reported: there is a


lack of surgical capacity at state and county levels to respond. The
rise in malnutrition will affect overall health needs considerably.

The expected end of the provision of essential medicines through


the Essential Medicines Fund (EMF), if not replaced by government procured medicines, will have humanitarian consequences
throughout the country. Some 768,400 people served by 1400

is not designed to replace or cover routine primary health care
essential medicines.

Even if funding for the essential medicines were to be availed

The cluster is aiming to assist 1.8 million people, including
displaced populations, host communities and the most vulnerable populations who are facing food and nutrition insecurity in
IPC phases 3 and 4. The disruptions to the essential medicine
supplies will render some of the most vulnerable unable to access
affordable health care. A portion of this affected population is
included in the cluster's target.

also include data collection and mapping of new hazards and
accidents and checking all land allocated for facilities such as
displacement sites, airstrips and helicopter landing sites, and
main road corridors.

Mine clearance and risk education activities will also continue in


the Equatorias, Warrap, Northern and Western Bahr el Ghazal and
Lakes where the legacy of contamination from previous conflicts
remain. In the Equatorias, surveys have located 575 hazardous
areas with large amounts of unexploded ordnance, including
land mines, remaining to be cleared.

Common facilities such as markets will also be surveyed and


cleared where risks are identified. Mine risk education and awareness training will be conducted for people living in high-risk areas
and for humanitarian workers operating in contaminated areas.
The sub-cluster will be coordinated from Juba, with permanently
staffed sub-offices in Malakal, Bor, Bentiu, and Juba. The cluster
will maintain a surge capacity to deploy to conflict-affected areas
based on need. The cluster will also maintain a presence in Wau
to increase response in Lakes and Northern and Western Bahr

The cluster anticipates that in the coming months, new displacements will continue to force people to leave behind basic household items and shelter materials. Second, the cluster anticipates
that vulnerabilities will expand beyond the conflict displaced
to people in host communities who are facing poor livelihoods
opportunities and the effects of economic stress. Simultaneously,
the people in the Protection of Civillian sites will likely increase
with limited numbers exiting the PoCs, increasing the need for
shelter interventions.
The lack of markets, materials, access to cash and livelihoods, as
well as a shorter dry season (leading to the reduced availability of
shelter materials), will decrease the ability of both displaced and
host populations to cope with the crisis.

Given current capacity is unlikely to change dramatically in the

where need is greatest and capacity is available to deliver, using
both performance to-date and the projected displacement figure
as a guide. Overall the cluster aims to reach 772,500 people,
including 150,000 newly displaced individuals with survival kits,
host communities who are vulnerable, and people residing or
moving to PoCs and other settlements.

Strategy to respond
To respond to new displacements, the cluster will aim to assist
the people in two phases. The first will be aimed at providing
multi-sectoral survival kits for displaced people who are currently
residing in extremely volatile areas and cannot be served through
the static response or rapid and mobile response which entails
assessment, verification, distribution). These kits will consist of
FSL and nutrition support items as well as the most basic NFI
items such as mosquito nets and cooking pots, and will be more
quickly transportable due to their size and weight. Once the
displaced people are settled for the rainy season and less vulnerable to attack, the cluster will plan to provide them with more
robust assistance so that they can withstand the rainy season.
The focus will be the three most conflict-affected states.
To respond to poor markets, lack of access to cash, and poor
livelihoods, as well as the effects of a shorter dry season on host
populations, the cluster will move to target both host and displaced
communities on a much larger scale. The cluster will continue to
assess and respond on the basis of acute, life-threatening need
but these are expected to be much higher as peoples ability to
provide for themselves declines.

To support people in PoCs, the cluster will continue to provide


shelter kits for new arrivals and shelter reinforcements for those
who remain in the PoC.
In addition, the cluster will support independent transport options
for partners to move stock to the field in order to increase the
efficiency of response; enhance partner capacity in the areas of
assessment, verification and distribution, focusing on providing
quality needs-based assistance and taking into consideration
reduced coping capacities; strengthen links with other clusters,
including housing, land and property, and on the provision of
livelihoods assistance, including through greater collaboration
in the area of mobile response; consider the inclusion of basic
tools that can assist people to build their own shelters; and, work
closely with emergency response teams across clusters to expedite humanitarian interventions including through the identification of new response modalities.
The cluster will continue to work closely with:

yyCCCM: on site planning in PoCs and spontaneous settlement

areas. The cluster will work with CCCM also on issues regarding
drainage and elevation to help improve the shelter conditions
and avoid flooding inside the shelters.

yyFSL: The cluster will work closely with FSL in the coming months
to better coordinate responses, including through the planning

of joint missions during which both shelter and non-food items


(S-NFI) and FSL goods can be distributed to further enhance
beneficiaries ability to support themselves. Related to this, the
cluster will continue to examine options for expediting delivery
of life-saving items (e.g. through continued refinement of the
survival kits modality).

yyLogistics cluster: In order to best utilize the shared resources,


the cluster will work closely with the logistics cluster in the
movement of stock to field locations and in the sharing of
common warehouses in key strategic locations. The cluster
will be particularly reliant on the logistics cluster for helicopter
based operations in remote field locations as well as for air
transport of personnel.

yyProtection

cluster: Continued collaboration with protection


cluster partners on the protective aspects of shelter design and
upgrading in the PoCs (e.g. door locks, solar lights, etc), as well
as designating safe sites for firewood collection. In particular,
the cluster will work closely with protection on issues related to
housing, land, and property.

yyWASH: The cluster will continue to work closely with the WASH

cluster to provide basic WASH items such as buckets and soap.


Where possible the cluster will conduct joint distributions with
WASH to maximize both resources and staff on the ground
while providing more holistic support to people in need.

As of April 2015, the nutrition situation remained above the emergency threshold (defined as global acute malnutrition greater than
15 per cent), with 80 per cent of counties in Greater Upper Nile,
Warrap, and Northern Bahr el Ghazal at critical nutrition levels.
Lakes, Western Bahr el Ghazal, and Eastern Equatoria are classified as serious while Western Equatoria and Central Equatoria
are acceptable and alert status respectively. There were
slight improvements in Panyijiar (Unity), Akobo (Jonglei), and
Longuchuk (Upper Nile) counties, which transitioned from very
critical to critical nutritional status.
From May to July, the nutrition situation is projected to remain
above the emergency threshold in Greater Upper Nile, Warrap,
and in Northern Bahr el Ghazal the latter areas being particularly affected by the economic crisis due to high levels of market
dependence. Malnutrition rates are further aggravated by the
lean season, high food prices, and the increase in waterborne
illness during the rainy season. In addition, economic stress will
likely increase levels of need in urban areas.

People affected and to be assisted


Cluster partners estimate some 4.1 million people will need nutrition support. Taking into account capacities, the cluster will aim
to reach 2.06 million people who are most vulnerable to acute
malnutrition, including children under 5, pregnant and lactating
women, and others.
The response continues to cover all states and counties, but prioritizes states and counties with the highest global acute malnutrition
rates and aggravating factors including poor food security, high
mortality, and disease outbreaks. The cluster will also work with
other clusters in delivering survival kits to people on the move.

Strategy for response


Noting the evolving security, access, economic and nutrition situation, the cluster proposes a two-tracked response strategy: one for
most accessible locations and a second for conflict affected areas.
In the most accessible, secure locations, the clusters will maintain
the initial response strategy to deliver quality life-saving management of acute malnutrition for at least 60 per cent of SAM cases
in girls and boys 0-59 months and at least 60 per cent of MAM
cases in girls and boys aged 6-59 months, pregnant and lactating
women, older people and other vulnerable groups. Second, the
cluster will work to increase access to integrated programmes
preventing under-nutrition for at least 30 per cent of girls and
boys aged 0-59 months and 60 per cent of pregnant and lactating
women, older people and other vulnerable groups.

affected states throughout the year, in addition to Warrap, Northern


Bahr El Ghazal, and Protection of Civilians sites. Micronutrient
supplementation and deworming for vulnerable people young
children and older people will be scaled up in the same areas.

In the more insecure conflict affected areas, the cluster will use
a combination of strategies to reach people including: increased
used of rapid and emergency response and mobile teams that
are focused on preventive nutrition interventions, increased use
of helicopters in delivery of supplies and the multi-sector survival
kits, scaling up nutrition outreach services, strengthen existing
capacities and community mobilization in sub urban areas across
the country.

To respond to increases in need in urban areas, the cluster will


strengthen community outreach for detection and referral, and
build partnerships with development and other organizations
outside the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) to strengthen
response to SAM and MAM in urban and semi-urban areas in
Juba, Yambio, Torit, and Wau.

The cluster will continue to focus on robust data gathering,


including SMART and qualitative assessments including post
distribution of blanket supplementary feeding programs (BSFP)
in Bentiu PoC site to have better understanding of the nutrition
situation in surrounding areas, review the response modalities
accordingly and reach as many severe acute malnutrition (SAM)
and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) cases as is possible.

Finally, the cluster will work to enhance needs analysis of the


nutrition situation in country by improving surveillance as well as
monitoring and analysis: this will be accomplished by increasing
SMART and qualitative assessments as well as post distribution
in PoC sites as well as conducting coverage of nutrition surveys
and strengthening reporting process, monitoring and sharing at
local and state levels. The cluster will strengthen and coordinate
the rapid response support mechanism to enhance delivery in
hard to reach areas.

The cluster partners will manage existing acute malnutrition by:


optimizing community outreach and referrals, strengthening
existing service provision, building nutrition technical capacity,
and strengthening supply chain management and support.
Preventing under-nutrition is equally critical. To do this, infant and
young child feeding programming will be expanded, particularly
in displacement sites, alongside blanket supplementary feeding
programs. The latter will be implemented in the three conflict-

Cluster partners will continue to work closely with the Department


of Nutrition of the Ministry of Health of South Sudan, which is
responsible for the coordination and implementation of all nutrition activities in South Sudan.
The cluster also collaborates close with food security, education,
health, protection, and WASH partners to enhance operational
coverage and linkages.

Violence and related abuses have continued, with intensified


fighting in Upper Nile and Unity from April, but also an increasingly complex intra-communal conflict in Lakes State.
The fighting has led to both new and secondary displacement
and stretched already vulnerable peoples' coping capacities
to their limits. Displaced people continued to arrive in UNMISS
Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites, notably in Bentiu and Malakal.
However most displaced people - an estimated 90 per cent - live
in sites with no physical protection or basic services or are on the
move and cannot access such services. In Lakes State, inter- and
intra-communal violence continued to threaten civilians lives and
livelihoods.
The ongoing conflict, increasing food insecurity, and economic
crisis all contribute to heightened protection risks. The targeting
of civilians by both parties to the conflict continued with reported
cases of denial of freedom of movement, forced recruitment and
use of children, and conflict-related sexual violence. At the same
time, displaced people continued to be caught in the cross-fire
as armed elements advance or when fighting occurred near PoC
sites. Family separations, gender-based violence and psychosocial trauma also continue. The economic situation increases the
risk of negative coping strategies, including survival sex.
The capacity of partners to respond was constrained by active
hostilities that reduced access, disrupted services and forced
the temporary evacuation of staff. Like other humanitarian actors,
partners also face difficulties tracking and meeting the needs of
a highly mobile population.
Despite the escalation of conflict in Greater Upper Nile, the
generally stable situation in PoC sites such as Wau, Bor and
Juba provide opportunities to engage in activities that constitute
groundwork for transitional solutions.

However, the ability of cluster partners to carry out those activities will largely be influenced by the evolution of the conflict,
which restricts access to affected populations in Greater Upper
Nile. Lack of access is a major concern for the protection partners in Unity and Upper Nile, as the continuing conflict poses
new protection challenges and makes the old ones more acute.

A sharp and rapid increase of refugee new arrivals from


South Kordofan has overstretched the existing reception
capacity of Ajuong Thok camp in Unity state, requiring urgent
interventions for the expansion of the camp and the scale up
of delivery of essential services.
The number of refugees and asylum seekers in urban
settings is growing, requiring increased targeted protection
and assistance interventions. Closer attention needs to be
placed on the needs of host communities who have been
affected also by the conflict and face various challenges
due to the scarceness of resources. Such an intervention is
critical to foster peaceful coexistence between refugee and
host communities.

Strategy for response


The cluster will continue to work to:
1. Provide protection, basic services, and sustainable assistance
to refugees and asylum-seekers in South Sudan.
2. 
Improve self-reliance and coping capacities of refugees,
returnees, and host communities.
3. Strengthen the capacity of national stakeholders.
The overall strategy of the refugee response is to ensure continuity
of life-saving activities, while promoting refugees self-reliance
and self-management, including through the gradual upgrading
of emergency structures in camps. The latter aims to enhance
refugees coping mechanisms in view of potential challenges in
aid delivery during crisis as well as for the longer-term sustainability of assistance with increased cost-efficiency. Protection

interventions will continue to focus on child protection and


prevention of and response to sex and gender based violence,
promoting community based protection and utilizing educational
activities as protection tools. Advocacy will continue to preserve
the civilian character of asylum.
The refugee response will also continue to support and engage
with the relevant national / local authorities, especially the
Commission for Refugee Affairs, and aims to address host
community needs to preserve asylum space. Whenever possible,
the refugee response seeks to improve a synergy with and
support from development actors, advocating for the integration
of the needs of refugees into national programs. Increased attention will be paid to the needs of urban refugees, with a development of an appropriate response program.
The cluster continues to work closely with the nutrition and WASH
clusters for the potential support of host communities and inclusion of refugees in area-based interventions where relevant.

yyCluster achievements: http://bit.ly/1G3D5sm

Renewed insecurity in Unity and Upper Nile has reduced WASH


partners capacity, even as people are displaced and needs rise.
These displacements will likely increase the population living in
PoC sites and other settlements. Economic stress is also creating
the potential for major increases in need in urban areas - especially as the rainy season approaches. The majority of urban
populations depend on untreated water trucking and treated
bottled water. New levels of need in urban areas come at the time
of the year when water-borne diseases are on the rise.

Strategy for response


In settlements and PoC sites, partners will need to better use
available resources. The cluster will work to rationalize services
inside settlements and PoC sites and encourage partners to
cover areas outside where possible. A single organization will be
responsible for WASH in each PoC site. The cluster will also work
on the implementation of longer term, more sustainable services
where possible. Community participation in the operation of
maintenance of WASH facilities (e.g., cleaning of latrines) will be
encouraged. Similar rationalization will be implemented in other
areas. Implementation of longer-term, sustainable services (e.g.
shared household latrines rather than communal toilets; sustainable water service rather than water trucking) will be considered
where possible. WASH partners will also work to make better
use of existing local networks and capacity, e.g. Red Cross
networks of hygiene promoters. NNGO partnerships will also
be strengthened.
In urban areas, partners will need to prepare to provide chlorine
as well as organize information campaigns and community mobilization on their use. Where possible, partners will work to reduce
costs by using solar power for generators for boreholes, especially as fuel costs rise. As the rainy season approaches, partners
are focusing on cholera preparedness in hotspots and high traffic
area where risks will be on the rise. For this and other risks, the
cluster will strengthen focus on preventive activities, including a
hygiene promotion strategy focused around behavior change.
This will require mapping capacities and gaps.
To respond to new displacements, WASH partners will collaborate with other clusters on the development and delivery of multisectoral survival kits. These light packages will be delivered
to people on the move in order to help support their most basic
needs. The cluster will also review the content of WASH distribution kits to ensure they are suitable to mobile populations. WASH
partners will work with rapid response teams and NNGOs and
Red Cross partners on the ground to better reach populations
on the move. The cluster will also develop strategies for continuity
and accountability to affected populations.

Six months into the year, an increasingly complex conflict and


worsening economic downturn are compounding needs, as the
operating environment becomes increasingly challenging.
Geographies of vulnerabilities are expanding, with the economic
downturn layering new complexities on top of existing dynamics.
This also impacts on the operational capacity of aid organizations
who face higher costs and may face greater insecurity.
Effective coordination is needed to negotiate access, respond
efficiently, and align advocacy, while seeking efficiencies within a
resource-stressed environment.

humanitarian partners at the national and sub-national levels in
support of its implementation.
OCHA acts as the secretariat for the Humanitarian Country Team
(HCT), composed of cluster lead agencies, NGOs, and donors.
The Inter-cluster Working Group (ICWG), chaired by OCHA, is
responsible for day-to-day humanitarian operations. It is a subsidiary body of the HCT and promotes synergy, efficiency and
maximum impact of the response through inter-cluster coherence.
OCHA advises the HCT on operational priorities, concerns and
gaps in the humanitarian response, and formulates inter-cluster
plans and proposals for endorsement by the HCT.

The Operational Working Group (OWG) brings together cluster


coordinators and operational partners to implement the priorities
set by the ICWG.
OCHA will continue to support the HCT, ICWG, and OWG in
responding to rapidly changing needs, enhancing coordination
and improving efficiency by capitalizing on complementarities
across organizations.

Coordination of rapid response mechanism and deep


field response
This will include continued support to the coordination of the
deployment of Rapid Response teams to assist people in hardto-reach locations where there is insufficient capacity of humanitarian organizations on the ground. OCHA will also facilitate the
rationalization of partners in PoC sites and other displacement
settlements.
Given the economic situations potential impact in urban areas,
OCHA will support agencies in developing and implementing a
response plan to provide life-saving support, especially in terms
of safe drinking water, sanitation, malnutrition, and public health.
At the same time OCHA will facilitate the development and implementation of innovative modalities such as the delivery of survival
kits to those most affected by hostilities in the field.

humanitarian response plan 2015 | Midyear update

OCHA is deploying roving deep field coordinators to improve


response coordination outside state capitals, working with clusters
to improve the delivery of assistance while decentralizing coordination structures and decision making to the extent possible.
In addition, OCHA is scaling up the capacity of its own field
offices by deploying more experienced officers where needed. A
dedicated specialist has been deployed to build the capacity of
national NGOs and their engagement with the coordination system.
The renewed fighting will necessitate ad-hoc security risk assessments and support to access negotiations by the Department of
Safety and Security as aid agencies endeavor to assist as many
vulnerable people as possible in highly volatile areas.
With the renewal of the L3 emergency for the next 3 months,
OCHA will continue to advocate for funding and personnel to
support humanitarian response in South Sudan.

Humanitarian hubs
In order to manage escalating operational costs and greater insecurity as a result of the economic downturn, IOM on behalf of the
humanitarian community is proposing to establish humanitarian
hubs where basic office services would be provided to aid organizations. Five hubs are being considered, in Wau, Rumbek, Torit,
Aweil and Juba that can house 50 to 250 people. Resources are
required to upgrade current hubs, and to cover running costs for
six months for new hubs and subsidies for the existing hubs.

Key achievements

In November, the cluster anticipated that most deliveries would


be made by road, however, due to a longer than expected rainy
season and ongoing insecurity there was and will be a heavier
reliance than expected on air assets to reach people and preposition supplies. As of June, limited funding has reduced the air
capacity available, but the need for air assets is increasing.
While the barge had been expected to deliver a significant
amount of cargo to Upper Nile, to date, only one barge has been
dispatched and took 5 weeks to reach Malakal due to insecurity
and technical issues.
The cluster will need to continue to rely on helicopters, especially
as roads become impassible with the rainy season for example,
the route to Bentiu will be closed in one month. Road conditions
are expected to be worse this rainy season than usual, there
was little investment in infrastructure improvement, and the rainy
season was longer than normal. This will likely increase the need
for spot-repairs.

Strategy for response


The Logistics cluster strategy will remain the same for the
remainder of 2015 with the below specific objectives:
1. P
 rovide logistics coordination, support, and advisory services
to the humanitarian community carrying out the humanitarian
response.
2. P
 rovide logistics, cargo, and passenger air services to the
humanitarian community to address the needs of the affected
population.

3. P

A significant reduction was made to infrastructure projects due to


the lack of funding in the pipeline. However, the cluster is asking
for additional resources to expand helicopter capacity in advance
of the rainy season and taking into account the need to reach
more people on the move than was previously anticipated.
