NEED ANALYSIS

Intense and renewed fighting between the SPLA-IO and the government forces in parts of Eastern Equatorial , Upper Nile and Central Unity exacerbated by other armed militias raiding cattle, looting properties and burning of villages has led to continued internal displacements of many civilians and continued outflow of South Sudanese to neighbouring countries of Uganda, Kenya, Sudan and Ethiopia. Internal displacements continue to see new arrivals enter already over populated UNMISS Protection of Civilian sites (PoCs) in Bentiu and Juba and creation of new collective sites in Aburoc/Fashoda in Upper Nile and Liwolo, Yei in Eastern Equatoria.

While insecurity is experienced in over 75% of the country, famine has contributed immeasurably to an already bad situation with approximately over 100,000 individuals at risk are at risk.

RESPONSE

CCCM cluster continues to advocate for non-creation of camps and only supporting IDPs in camps and camp like settings as a temporary solution. The cluster through its structure continues to coordinate service delivery in UNMISS PoCs and collective sties. The cluster contributes to sustainable delivery of its mandate through capacity building and engagement of National Non-Governmental Organizations (NNGOs) and civil society organizations such as churches who continue to provide temporary refuge during peaks of displacement as they open up their compounds to provide temporary home to displaced persons.

The cluster is providing CCCM intervention in all the existing UNMISS protection of civilian sites across the country while it’s also providing light touch CCCM activities in the existing collective sites or the upcoming ones due to the continued clashed between the armed elements in the country . For instance, the cluster has planned to provide support to IDPs living in collective sites in Eastern Equatoria, and in Aburoc, Fashoda county in Upper Nile.

GAPS / CHALLENGES

CCCM cluster is constrained with limited funding to effectively intervene appropriately in the different displacement sites. Within the PoCset up, limited space is among the key factors affecting the ability for operational partners to meet minimum sphere standards.
