Description:
March 2020 - An estimated 7.5 million people across South Sudan are in need of humanitarian assistance and protection as a result of armed conflict, food insecurity, malnutrition, economic decline and disease. Approximately 1.5 million people are internally displaced within South Sudan and almost 2.2 million South Sudanese have sought protection in neighbouring countries. An estimated 6.4 million people are currently severely food insecure, with malnutrition rates over emergency thresholds. Outbreaks of communicable diseases have strained an already overwhelmed health system.
With GAC’s support, World Vision Canada is providing emergency water, sanitation, hygiene, nutrition and protection services for up to 109,243 conflict-affected people in Upper Nile state. Project activities include: (1) supporting 7 SWAT systems and 1 waterpoint as well building latrines in 2 schools; (2) supporting community-based management of acute malnutrition, and providing messaging on Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) best practices to 54,645 people; and (3) reaching 12,000 women, men, boys and girls with gender-based violence services and referral information.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe drinking water, safe sanitation and hygiene practices among conflict affected populations; (2) increased access to life saving nutrition treatment and prevention services for children under five, and pregnant and lactating women; and (3) increased access to protection services for conflict affected populations.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
