Situation Report

January 2018

Highlights

• In line with the New Way of Working agenda promoted by the UN Secretary

General, UNICEF-led sectors have contributed to a new strategy of the 2018

Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF) allocation which promotes greater effi-

ciency for integrated interventions among partners and focuses on specific

populations in need including IDPS, refugees and communities at high risk

to disease outbreaks such as AWD.

• UNICEF, as part of the National Technical Committee on the Action Plan to

end the recruitment and use of children in armed conflict, conducted a mis-

sion to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) headquarters located in Nyala, South

Darfur State to help strengthen appropriate recruitment procedures.

• In January, UNICEF supported delivery of primary health care (PHC) services

to the vulnerable children in Jebel Marra localities in Central Darfur. Some 14

Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) kits were provided for

140,000 children to meet the health need. Moreover, 24 community health

workers were trained to provide quality integrated community case man-

agement (ICCM). Accordingly, 8,437 children benefited from outpatient ser-

vices including immunization, treatment of common childhood illnesses and

referral for the malnourished children to stabilization centers. Also, 114 chil-

dren under one year were supported to receive measles vaccination.

Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs In some areas of East Jebel Marra locality, South Darfur, internal fighting between two armed groups resulted in forced

displacement of more than 600 people, mainly women and children since mid-December 2017. UNICEF, the United Na-

tions-African Union Mission in Darfur (UNAMID) and other humanitarian agencies are closely monitoring the ongoing

conflict that impacts the relief activities in the locality. Some of the villages in the locality including Leiba town have not

been reached by humanitarian support since 2011 because of the insecurity, while, in December 2017, a total of 47 chil-

dren were identified as severe acute malnutrition in Leiba town and all of them were admitted to appropriate treatment

as the first group receiving life-saving intervention first time since seven years. UNICEF plans to accelerate the inte-

grated response with partners and the state government in newly accessible areas by addressing the challenges that

constrain effective service delivery, such as lack of qualified staff, transportation of supplies to end users and security of

the population living in the locality.

The number of reported Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) cases remains low across Sudan, with 98 suspected cases reg-

istered between 17 December 2017 and 13 January 2018 mainly in Red Sea State6. Overall, more than 36,000 cases have

been observed across the 18 states of Sudan since August 2016. UNICEF and partners are working on preventing AWD

mainly through water, sanitation and hygiene promotion efforts as well as developing an integrated response plan with

Ministry of Health and WHO focusing on oral cholera vaccine (OCV) campaigns, behavioural change engagement, in-

creased access to safe water resources, improved access to primary health care services and nutritional programmes, as

well as strengthening capacity development of partners and service providers at the identified localities by building on

the best practices and lessons learned from the response in 2017.

In total, 770,110 South Sudanese refugees are currently living in Sudan, including approximately 500,000 children (65

per cent). Since 1st to 15th January 2018, 3,064 new refugees including around 2,000 children have arrived from South

Sudan. The number of new arrivals is forecasted to increase during the dry season which is more conducive to population

movements. 78 per cent of all the South Sudanese refugees stay at out-of-camp settlements. To ensure that the needs

of unregistered refugees are identified, assessments are being conducted in non-camp locations. UNICEF is taking an

approach to increase refugee’s access to the existing basic services and local infrastructures by promoting inclusivity

and cohesion of the refugees and the host community. In North Darfur, UNICEF use the educational support as an entry

point for integrating South Sudanese refugees to the communities by organising sessions for school communities. How-

ever, there are a challenge in securing enough resource to cover the needs.

Humanitarian Leadership and Coordination

In line with the New Way of Working 10(NWoW), UNICEF-led Education, Nutrition and WASH sectors as well as the Child

protection sub-sector have been working with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs

(UNOCHA) to develop a systematic intersectoral approach and to conduct integrated interventions focusing on children

and populations with the most urgent needs. Through advocacy, UNICEF led sectors and sub-sector advanced on a new

strategy for 2018 Sudan Humanitarian Fund (SHF)11 allocations, which now focus on populations with the highest

need/most vulnerable, such as displaced people by conflicts, refugees, and children/people in high risk areas for AWD.

This new approach is considered innovative as it promotes greater prioritization for integrated interventions among

partners.

In Kassala, the Child protection sub-sector has established a monitoring mechanism for child trafficking and irregular

migration. Kassala is on one of the major migration routes for people from Eritrea, Ethiopia, Somalia and even Yemen

to reach European states through the Libyan coast. Since the borders have been closed between Sudan and Eritrea,

there is a high likelihood that traffickers and smugglers will exploit migrants, especially unaccompanied and separated

children and adolescents. Therefore, UNICEF and partners strengthened monitoring in order to mitigate any risks that

children and adolescents may face. The monitoring mechanism includes the role of cross-border information sharing

among governmental authorities and partners of family tracing and reunification (FTR) in addition to sharing trafficking

and migration records. Victims of trafficking are provided with alternative care, psychosocial support as well as family

tracing and reunification services supported by UNHCR and UNICEF.

UNICEF continues to invest in national capacity development. From 8th to 11th January 2018, UNICEF supported the

Information Management Capacity Development workshop in Red Sea State with the participation of 20 governmental

officials. The aim of the workshop was to train the officers in global positioning system (GPS) / geographic information

system (GIS), data processing and online mapping.

Humanitarian Strategy UNICEF Sudan humanitarian strategy is targeting 4.06 million people for assistance including 1.95 million children12.

UNICEF has adopted an integrated approach to programme delivery and has prioritised assistance based on vulnerabil-

ity criteria, rather than the people’s status (internally displaced person, refugee, returnees and host communities).

UNICEF continues to accord humanitarian assistance top priority while strengthening programmes for advancing dura-

ble results in a cost-effective manner. UNICEF’s humanitarian interventions are in line with upholding International Hu-

manitarian Law, especially the Convention on the Rights of the Child, and humanitarian principles including humanity,

neutrality, impartiality and operational independence, with continued advocacy to reach vulnerable children in the con-

flict affected areas of Blue Nile, Nuba Mountains and some parts of Jebel Marra in Darfur, which has witnessed signifi-

cant improvement over the last eighteen months.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Child Protection

UNICEF continued to support protection services to refugees and internally displaced children and host communities

with psychosocial support (PSS) being provided through child friendly spaces, mobile teams and direct home visits. In

January, UNICEF supported 91,498 children (45,253 girls and 46,245 boys) including children who continuously receive

care since previous months. An additional 9,275 children (4,182 boys, 5,093 girls) started receiving psychosocial support

10 The New Way of Working frames the work of development and humanitarian actors, along with national and local counterparts, in support of collective outcomes

that reduce risk and vulnerability and serve as instalments towards achieving the SDGs. 11 SHF is a multi-donor fund that provides funding to international and national non–governmental organizations and UN agencies aiming to improve humanitarian

response by increasing the extent to which funding is allocated to priority humanitarian needs through an inclusive and coordinated process at the field level. To

strengthen the leadership of the HC and to contribute to the delivery of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) within the context of the Humanitarian Program

Cycle (HPC) or any agreed upon strategy by the Humanitarian Coordinators. Rest of sentence missing?? 12 UNICEF Humanitarian Action for Children 2017 (https://www.unicef.org/appeals/sudan.html) People in need is the same as in 2017, and are subject to change

upon the release of the 2018 Sudan Humanitarian Needs Overview and Humanitarian Response Plan.

this month. A total of 735 unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) (256 girls and 479 boys) received support that

173 UASC were unified with their families and 562 children were placed in family-based alternative care. Out of the 735

UASC, 505 (351 boys, 154 girls) are South Sudanese children. The efforts made to improve the quality of family tracing

and reunification (FTR) services, especially on information sharing, increased the reunification rate from 3 per cent in

November 2017 to 19 per cent by January2018. Still the reunification rate remains low compare to international stand-

ards and UNICEF is committed to continue its efforts. In addition, 150 conflict affected women and children in Sortoni,

North Darfur, participated in awareness raising events of Gender Base Violence (GBV) including community consulta-

tions and mapping exercise for prevention and response planning.

UNICEF, as part of the National Technical Committee on the Action Plan to end the recruitment and use of children in

armed conflict, conducted a mission to the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) 13headquarters located in Nyala, South Darfur

state. The mission engaged with the RSF command and particularly welcomed the RSF commitment to implement

measures to prevent child recruitment, such as a mandatory review of birth certificates to ensure that no child is re-

cruited. The directives from the Government on observing the Action Plan and on the prohibition of military use of

schools have been received by RSF. The visit has opened the door for further engagement with RSF on the implemen-

tation of the action plan.

Education

In 2018, UNICEF continues to provide children with access to safe learning spaces and educational supplies by using

education as an entry point to promote inclusivity and cohesion among the most vulnerable emergency affected popu-

lation including internally displaced population, Returnees, Refugees as well as host community children in 12 states of

Sudan.

In January, for promoting social cohesion of South Sudanese refugee children and returnees in host communities in

North Darfur, UNICEF and the State Ministry of Education conducted sessions to discuss the importance of education

and peaceful integration at nine school community groups include teachers, parents, mother groups and community

leaders.

Overall, UNICEF and partners have provided access to safe learning spaces to 5,032 emergency affected children (2,353

girls and 2,679 boys) including internally displaced children in Sortoni, North Darfur, and in Nertiti locality in Central

Darfur.

Child Survival and Development (CSD) Programme Component

Health and Nutrition

In 2017, UNICEF succeeded to reach 91 per cent (227,887 children) of the targeted population with severe acute malnu-

trition (SAM) including children in many previously inaccessible communities in Jebel Marra and Blue Nile states. Also,

a total of 761,899 mothers and caregivers were counselled on recommended infant and young child feeding (IYCF) prac-

tices during the year.

In January, UNICEF supported delivery of primary health care (PHC) services to the vulnerable children in Jebel Marra

localities in Central Darfur. Some 14 Integrated Management of Childhood Illness (IMCI) kits were provided for 140,000

children to meet the health need. Moreover, 24 community health workers were trained to provide quality integrated

community case management (ICCM). Accordingly, 8,437 children benefited from outpatient services including immun-

ization, treatment of common childhood illnesses and referral for the malnourished children to stabilization centers for

inpatient treatment. Also, 114 children under one year were supported to receive measles vaccination.

UNICEF continued supporting the case management of diarrheal diseases in East Darfur through operating six oral re-

hydration therapy corners (ORTCs). A total of 374 people receive support including 263 refugee and children in host

community.

13 RSF are paramilitary forces which is a semi-militarized force of the state's formal armed forces.

Additionally, UNICEF continued to provide life-saving health interventions to South Sudanese refugee children. 742 chil-

dren received vaccinations in White Nile and East Darfur states. A total of 1,726 under five children benefited from the

IMCI services in White Nile. UNICEF supported the State Ministry of Health (SMoH) in North Darfur to operate three

PHC clinics at villages in Allat locality hosting huge numbers of South Sudanese refugees. Through this support, a total

of 1,637 refugees received outpatient medical consultations. In South Kordofan, UNICEF supported the distribution of

38,000 bed-nets covering 19,000 refugee households (expected to benefit 11,400 children under 5 years) in Eliri and

Abugebeha in order to prevent infectious diseases transmitted by mosquitoes. To improve Prevention of Mother to Child

Transmission (PMTC) services to the refugees in South Darfur mainly focusing on preventing HIV, UNICEF supported

PMCT on-the-job training from 16 health care providers from four health facilities in Belil, Buram and Al-Radoum local-

ities.

Furthermore, UNICEF, in collaboration with the State Ministry of Health, supported the operation of three new ambu-

latory mobile Outpatient Therapeutic Programmes (OTP) to provide timely access to treatment for severe acute mal-

nutrition and other primary health care services for South Sudanese refugees at entry points and remote villages in Abu-

jabra, Abu Karinka and Bahar Alarab localities in East Darfur. The new OTPs also serve the host communities in these

areas. During the first week of the operation, 28 refugee children suffering from severe acute malnutrition were admit-

ted for treatment.

During the month, 5,063 South Sudanese Refugee children under five were screened in North and East Darfur states, of

whom 100 children were identified with severe acute malnutrition. All of them were admitted for treatment through the

Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme. With a larger number of the South Sudanese ref-

ugee population outside the camps in Sudan, UNICEF is prioritizing the host communities receiving refugees to cover

the needs by scaling up the number of OTPs and using innovative approaches such as the mobile OTPs as well as estab-

lishing regular case-finding mechanisms in such communities to identify children early and admit them for treatment.

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH)

More than 579,865 people, including around 300,000 children in Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) affected and at risk areas

were reached with disinfected water distribution system in Red Sea state by the State Water Corporation (SWC) with

the support of UNICEF during January. Chlorination of water sources is also ongoing to sustain zero cases reported in

Port Sudan, Sawakn, Sinkat and Toker localities in Red Sea. Hygiene promotion through household visits and distribu-

tion of information, education and communication (IEC) materials by volunteers complemented by broadcasting dis-

cussion programs on TV and radios aim to improve safe water transportation and storage.

In addition, UNICEF provided access to new, safe water sources for 17,500 conflict affected people in Central Darfur,

North Darfur and South Kordofan through the construction of four water yards. 1,460 people gained access to safe san-

itation facilities in North Darfur, through construction of 240 emergency household latrines. Extensive hygiene promo-

tion has reached an estimated 15,012 people through hygiene promotion sessions, household visits and environmental

cleaning campaigns in five states which aim to promote sustained personal hygiene and living environment.

Communication for Development (C4D)

UNICEF supported capacity enhancement of 30 hygiene promoters in Blue Nile and 30 women leaders in White Nile

states by facilitate community discussion on AWD prevention key practices including hand washing, latrines use and

importance of personal hygiene as well as leading Habouba Clubs where women meet each fortnight either in camps or

communities to discuss critical household practices for child survival, development and protection.

2,456 individuals from four localities in Blue Nile state were reached with key messages on hand washing, latrines use,

personal hygiene, solid waste management and water management through group discussions, household visits and

other community sensitisation activities.

UNICEF in collaboration with State Ministry of Health especially the Health Promotion Division organized series of ori-

entation sessions on key AWD prevention practices and essential family practices for 197 community members including

religious leaders and teachers from White Nile and Sennar state.

Funding

UNICEF’s 2018 Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) appeal for Sudan amounts to US$96.54 million, to respond to

children’s life-saving needs across the country. The budget is necessary to deliver life-saving and protection services to

2.11 million emergency affected children. Without adequate, timely and flexible funding, UNICEF will be unable to pro-

vide life-saving support, respond to the continuous nutrition crisis and reach the most vulnerable children with critical

health and WASH services. Basic supplies for primary education are also urgently needed. According to the 2017 Hu-

manitarian Response Plan (HRP) for Sudan, an estimated 4.8 million people are in dire need of humanitarian assistance,

including 2.3 million children14.

UNICEF Sudan would like to express its continued appreciation to all donors that support the humanitarian response in

Sudan. In January, UNICEF received much needed contributions from Canada and Germany for child protection, as well

as Qatar (UN Darfur Fund) for education, health as well as water, sanitation and hygiene. Currently, the 2018 UNICEF

HAC appeal has a funding gap of over US$80.5 million (83% unfunded).

SUMMARY OF FINAL PROGRAMME RESULTS 2017 (with updated 2017 results of Education sector and Nutrition)

25 The Overall Needs column represents the overall figure of people with humanitarian needs by sector as per the HRP 2017. 26 The sector results are lower than the UNICEF results due to the exclusion of the refugee caseload. The number of supported refugee UASC are included in the

Refugee Multi-sector Response target and not in the Child Protection sub-sector target. 27 Results reported on these indicators by the Education Sector are one month prior to the sitrep date due to partners’ reporting mechanism. 28 This achievement is mainly attributed to efforts due to lower-cost interventions deployed in response to AWD 29Results reported on these indicators are one month prior to the sitrep date due to partner reporting mechanisms. 30WASH results report against the provision of new water facilitates (water trucking is not reflected) and new latrines.
