CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT
The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster facilitates the delivery of life-saving services to IDPs in displacement sites and collective centers throughout South Sudan. The CCCM Cluster ensures that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei, West Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap.
SITe DeveLopMenT, expanSIon anD IMproveMenT (CCCM and Shelter/NFI shared responsibilities)
Efforts to increase capacity and improve living conditions at Protection of Civilian (PoC) sites in Malakal, Bor, Bentiu and UN House in Juba are ongoing. Site development activities are also progressing in the spontaneous settlement sites in Mingkaman.

IOM is also supporting the cholera response activities outside the PoC by providing daily transportation of 10,000 litres of treated water from the PoC water treatment to the Malakal teaching hospital. In addition, IOM has also installed a 10,000 litre bladder at the teaching hospital to improve access to safe water.

hygiene awareness in emergencies. Additionally, IOM provided training to six hygiene promotion supervisors and community mobilizers from the WASH sector in Upper Nile State. Garbage, drainage and latrine caretakers were recruited and provided with necessary equipment and skills to keep latrines and drainage systems clean. A similar strategy was deployed in Bentiu. 44 hygiene promoters received training and are currently working in PoC 4 where IOM is implementing WASH programming.
In order to increase awareness of safe hygiene practices that can help to prevent the spread of cholera, IOM partnered with local musicians to help engage community members.
HEALTH
IOM is the main primary health Care actor in Malakal and Bentiu PoCs providing clinical assistance to IDPs, returnees and host communities. IOM extended mobile health services to the South Sudan-Sudan border area of Wonthou. IOM clinics provide curative consultations, health education sessions, routine immunization for children under five and maternal health care. Top morbidities for all sites continue to be upper respiratory tract infections, malaria and diarrheal diseases.
Bentiu poCA total of 507 IDPs benefited from health education focusing on cholera and other waterborne diseases this week. A focus was placed on interventions for children under 5 years; 195 underwent medical consolations and 145 children were vaccinated.
Distribution of long lasting insecticide treated nets (LLINs) has been incorporated into the immunization/ antenatal care (ANC) programme and 61 LLINs were distributed during this reporting period. Health promoters have been active and visited 644 households to raise awareness to issues of cholera and general safe health practices.
Hygiene promotionThis week saw the start of a Hygiene Promotion Response Plan that will raise awareness and promote good hygiene practices through culturally accepted methods. In Malakal, IOM recruited, trained and dispatched two Hygiene Promoters (HPs) to help increase

REFUGEE RESPONSE
As lead provider of WASH response at the Doro camp, IOM continues to meet the needs of the camp’s refugee population. All key water, hygiene and sanitation indicators are above the minimum standards. However, there remains a need to maintain these standards to prevent the outbreak and spread of waterborne diseases amongst the refugee population and surrounding host communities during the course of the rainy season.
COMMON TRANSPORT SERVICE
The IOM-operated Common Transport Service (CTS), a free service for transporting humanitarian supplies in South Sudan, is helping partners to deliver aid across the country. CTS trucks remain strategically positioned across the country to provide transport assistance to humanitarian partners.
