Action by Churches Together (ACT) Appeal - Sudan Assistance to IDPs in Western Equatoria - Sudan AFSD-24 Appeal Target: US$ 242,086 Geneva, 1 November 2002

The Internally Displaced People in the camps of Mabia in Mupoi and Baikpa in Ezo in the Western Equatorial Region in southern Sudan have been facing hardships since being relocated to the camps around October 2001 after they fled fighting between the SPLA and the Sudan government army in the town of Raga, in Western Bahr el Ghazal. Over 57,000 were displaced and have been living in what has been described 'very severe and desperate conditions' by the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Rumbek in south Sudan. CARE international and UNICEF has been the only organisations providing basic services to the IDPs in the two camps. But in an assessment carried out by the Church Ecumenical Action in Sudan (CEAS) in July 2002 to assess conditions of the IDPs in the two camps, it become apparent that the people were seriously lacking basic needs such as water, medical facilities, shelter, and food. CEAS therefore, proposes to take part in the assistance of the IDPs in the sectors of water, health, education, shelter, and food security through the provision of tools and seeds. This appeal describes clearly how CEAS will carry out their intervention in this program through its members, the Catholic Diocese of Tambura/Yambio, and the Episcopal Church of Sudan, diocese of Ezo.

Recd. 0 Balance Requested from ACT Network 242,086 Ms. Genevieve Jacques Thor-Arne Prois Robert Granke Director Director, ACT Director WCC/Cluster on Relations LWF/World Service REQUESTING ACT MEMBER INFORMATION Church Ecumenical Action in Sudan (CEAS) IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION Church Ecumenical Action in Sudan (CEAS), formed in 1996, is an ecumenical consortium made up of three international Christian networks (Caritas Internationalis, Lutheran World Federation and World Council of Churches) and the two Sudanese Church Councils (Sudan Council of Churches and the New Sudan Council of Churches). By virtue of its mandate and composition, CEAS always works in partnership with other organisations, both local and international. These include generalised church development agencies, individual church dioceses, international faith-based NGOs and Sudanese indigenous NGOs (SINGOs). In the intervention presented here, CEAS' partners comprise the Catholic Diocese of Tambura/Yambio, the Episcopal Church of Sudan, Diocese of Ezo, Wau Organisation for Rehabilitation and Development (WORD) and the local authorities of Tambura and Ezo Counties. The Catholic Diocese of Tambura/Yambio: The Catholic Diocese of Tambura/Yambio (TYD) has been in existence since 1974. It has its headquarters in Yambio, due to the central location of the town. In the late 1990s, in collaboration and partnership with Catholic Relief Service (CRS), TYD started a process of sustainable institutional capacity development interventions that gave birth to a diocesan Strategic Plan covering the period 1999-2003. Four programme areas emerged from this plan: pastoral, education, health and water and women in development. Regrettably, the ongoing war has impeded most efforts to develop the organisational and operational capacity of the diocese to serve the local population. CEAS therefore intends to use the opportunity presented by this intervention to strengthen the capacity of the diocese to respond to future emergency situations. The Episcopal Church of Sudan, Diocese of Ezo: the Diocese of Ezo is one of the smaller dioceses among the 24 ECS dioceses found in Sudan, as a consequence of which diocesan structures are very rudimentary. Wau Organisation for Rehabilitation and Development (WORD): WORD is an indigenous NGO (or SINGO) formed in March 2001 by the community in Western Bahr el Ghazal in response to the widespread displacement prevalent throughout the area. The WORD organisational structure comprises a Board of Directors who are responsible for policy development, and a secretariat made up of a Programme Co-ordinator, Programme Officer, Finance Officer and secretary (based in a co-ordination office in Nairobi) and Health, Education, Agriculture and Women's Development Officers (based in the field). WORD was formed with the express objective of providing services to IDPs from the Wau area currently displaced to Mabia and other locations. The organisation's mission statement indicates that it will seek to improve coping mechanisms among the displaced population while its specific objectives include: promotion of peace and respect for human rights through conflict resolution; promotion of agriculture through distribution of seed and tools; promotion of education through rehabilitation of schools and promotion of health through provision of primary health care services. WORD also wishes to support women's development through promotion of small enterprise, credit and adult education. The Local Authorities in Tambura and Ezo and the Sudan Relief and Rehabilitation Association (SRRA): Equatoria is one of the five disputed regions that make up the area controlled by the Sudan People's Liberation Army (SPLA). Located in the south west of the country on the borders with the Central African Republic, the Democratic Republic of Congo and Uganda, the province of Western Equatoria is administered through a hierarchy of administrative positions starting with the Regional Secretary or Governor and encompassing various local level leaders including County and Payam Secretaries. The local authorities have been involved in conducting needs assessments and constitute a critical element in the planned emergency intervention, providing local knowledge, access and security. The SRRA is the humanitarian wing of the SPLM/SPLA which is, thus, mandated to co-ordinate the relief, rehabilitation and development activities of organisations working in the area. Other organisations operating in the area include: CARE: At the onset of the emergency in Tambura (and later in Ezo) in November/December 2001, a number of international organisations responded to the crisis. CARE took the leading role in emergency operations in terms of sectors as well as in the volume of relief aid provided. However, CARE could not meet all needs of the IDP population and hence the planned CEAS/Church intervention presented here. This fact notwithstanding, only CARE and International Medical Corps (IMC) have a permanent presence in the area, although on a smaller scale than in previous years. CRS: Played some role in the initial emergency, although on a limited scale. Based on the needs assessment conducted by CEAS and NSCC in July 2002, CRS has written a proposal whose goal is to provide access to safe, sustainable water and sanitation facilities to the IDP population of Ezo1 CRS proposal document, August, 2002 1. DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION Background On 2 June 2001 the SPLA captured the town of Raga in Western Bahr el Ghazal from the Government of Sudan. In October 2001 the town was recaptured by the Sudan Army, causing the displacement of an estimated 57,000 people who were (as described by the Catholic Bishop of the Diocese of Rumbek) in a "very desperate" situation. This population, which consisted mainly of women and children, fled south for safety and walked a distance of approximately 300kms under very harsh conditions. They were received at Namutina Camp in Western Equatoria Province and thereafter transferred by CARE and UNICEF to Mabia Camp near the town of Mupoi in Western Equatoria where they are settled to date. A rapid needs assessment was conducted by several organisations, including a joint CEAS/NSCC team, in December 2001. This assessment pre-empted but was later superseded by the emergency response of other locally-based NGOs, primarily CARE, who provided assistance to an estimated 20,000 internally displaced people. In this respect, CARE provided basic health care and health education and sensitisation in conjunction with UNICEF, supplementary feeding in collaboration with WFP, distribution of IDP kits, with contributions from CRS and MEDAIR, and undertook basic repairs to roads. In a separate and unrelated occurrence, in February 2002, an influx of about 4,000 refugees and returnees from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) arrived in Ezo, a small town on the border between Western Equatoria and DRC. The cause of the displacement was a dispute between a local spiritual leader and the community. These refugees and returnees were settled in Baikpa Camp. The numbers have since increased to approximately 6,000 according to the CEAS/NSCC assessment of July 2002. This population also received rapid emergency assistance from CARE, which (as in the case of Mabia) was not geared toward addressing long-term needs. The refugees precarious situation was further complicated by the absence of NGOs and UN agencies able to provide services to this specific population due to lack of a mandate to support refugees among the UN agencies operating in south Sudan. This process is still on going with little progress made to date. Accordingly, in both camps there are unmet, basic needs, such as the need for seeds and tools for agricultural self-reliance2 The USAID Famine Early Warning System (FEWS) report of July 2002 informs us that although the harvest in Western Equatorial was generally good this year (as a consequence of which WFP reduced food rations by 50%) the IDPs were "largely constrained by lack of access to sufficient seeds". 2 and education for school age children. Current Emergency Situation Six months after the IDPs arrived in the camps of Mabia in Mupoi and Baikpa in Ezo, the Catholic Bishop of Tambura/Yambio and the ECS Bishop of Ezo reported respectively an inadequate provision of assistance for those affected. This prompted CEAS (in the person of the organisations' Medical Co-ordinator) and NSCC (in the form of its Chairperson, also the parish priest in Mupoi) to undertake a new assessment of the situation, towards the beginning of July 2002. The assessment comprised interviews with key informants, notably the SRRA, chiefs and community leaders and the IDPs themselves, observations and random mid-upper arm circumference measurements of 201 children aged between 6-59 months in Mabia and 50 children in Baikpa. The assessment was difficult to implement due to lack of transport (the only vehicle available being that of the Catholic Bishop), heavy rains that occurred during the assessment and other rain related logistical difficulties. The assessment in Mabia Camp revealed the need for urgent intervention in the following areas: Water Of the 10 bore holes drilled by UNICEF earlier in the year, 6 are functioning but with insufficient water. This problem is likely to worsen during the dry season between November and March3 The TYD had prepared its current annual budget for activities in water provision before the arrival of the IDPs, who are now using water from Mabia seasonal stream, which is not potable. 3. Health There are no medical doctors in the area. However, there are 4 medical assistants and 4 trained traditional birth attendants. Insufficient and inappropriate drugs have been provided. There is no laboratory nor equipment such as microscopes, although there are 2 trained laboratory technicians4 Apparently there was an equipped laboratory at Namutina Reception Camp, where the IDPs were initially received. 4. Major illnesses in the camp comprise: Malaria/fever Diarrhoeal diseases Respiratory tract infection Scabies Sleeping sickness (there are a lot of tsetse flies in the area). Education According to the school co-ordinator for TYD there are 878 children going to both primary and secondary school. The information gathered during the assessment indicates that there are more than 3,000 children in Mabia Camp, which would appear low as a percentage of a total population of over 20,000. Assistance provided to date includes the following: UNICEF provided 10 emergency schools in the form of small tents. Five of these tents have been destroyed by the wind. Repairs are in process but the tents are too small for the number of pupils concerned. School kits (exercise books, pens, chalk, chalk boards) were provided by UNICEF but were insufficient in number. There are 27 Arabic trained teachers. CARE took these teachers to Tambura for a 12 days English course. The course was too short (as reported by local leaders). There is need for future frequent short courses. There is no water at the school. UNICEF drilled up to 90 meters but didn't hit the water table. Lack of toilets, forcing the pupils to use the surrounding bush. (The assessment team suggested that the community should bury faeces in shallow holes as a temporary measure but there is lack of digging tools). No textbooks have been provided. UNICEF representatives informed the assessment team that all school kits are issued at the beginning of the year. A projection proposal for text books for primary 1 - 3 and teacher guides for every teacher (for Maths, English and Science) has been submitted for the coming year, but there is no guarantee that they will be provided. Shelter Each family was allocated and settled in a 20 x 40 meter plot. Most of the IDPs have since built grass thatched, mud huts. When grass was not available, plastic sheeting was used for roofing. Most of the plastic sheeting is now torn from the heat of the sun. The IDPs are in need of more plastic sheeting and other non-food items such as blankets, mosquito nets, cooking pots, plates, cups, spoons, basins, buckets, water jerry cans. Some assistance of this kind was made available by the Church during the course of the year, but in insufficient amounts. Food WFP has been supplying food, although no salt has been given. The Church has also provided a small amount. Lentils have been given but the community prefer beans and groundnuts. They have been selling personal belongings to buy salt and other essential items. If they had fishing hooks/nets they could fish in the local streams. UNICEF gave one grinding mill for food processing but, being alone, it breaks down often. If two more grinding mills were obtained they would more effectively serve the IDP population. Tools Most of the residential plots have been cultivated and planted with groundnuts, okra, sweet potatoes and tomatoes. The IDPs do not have enough tools to produce enough food for their families. The few tools that were distributed are shared between families. There is also a need for carpentry tools. Seeds Bigger plots of land have been cleared (see sketch) but the community lacks seeds. The following seeds are required: Maize. Ground nuts. Sorghum. Assorted vegetable seeds. There are two seasons, March and August. Other Needs Other items that may prove beneficial include: Sewing machines for the women group. Bicycles to facilitate the movements of teachers/leaders to and from Tambura. Wheelbarrows. Old/used clothes for the destitute. The population also expressed a need to have a consumer co-operative from which they could purchase essential items. The camp is 16 Kms from Tambura where the main shops are located. Baikpa: The assessment of the current situation in Baikpa revealed a broadly similar pattern of needs, although with particular emphasis on the need for clean water and health services. As with Mabia, agricultural self-sufficiency is the key to survival in the future. Impact on Human Lives The random MUAC measurements of children aged 6 months to 59 months of whom 110 were male and 91 female revealed the following results: 171 MUAC greater than 12.5 + (adequately nourished). 24 MUAC 11.0 to less than 12.5 (moderate malnutrition). 6 MUAC less than 11.0 cm (severe malnutrition). No additional malnutrition was observed, although there were 43 children with MUAC 13 - 13.5 cm, which indicates that nutritional status was not good. As it was a rapid assessment, Global Malnutrition was not determined as this would have required weight for height measurements as well. 88 children out of the 201 in the sample were found to be sick with diarrhoea, malaria, fever, scabies and wounds. Although only six children were found to be severely malnourished, while 24 out of the sample of 201 were moderately malnourished, the prevalence of sick children in the camps is likely to result in increased levels of malnutrition. An adequate supply of essential drugs for the children is therefore required without delay. However, even in this situation of dire need, the assessment team observed that homesteads were generally well kept. 75% of the homesteads had pit latrines and bathing areas. Locations for Proposed Response Mapia Camp in Tambura County and Baikpa in Ezo County. Current Security Situation Generally, the Tambura/Yambio area has enjoyed a long period of peace, which has enabled NGOs to work in the area - and the IDPs to stay in the area - without interruption due to insecurity. GOAL & OBJECTIVES Goal: To provide humanitarian emergency aid in the area of water and sanitation, provision of displaced persons kits, seeds and tools and training for existing teachers in the use of the English language. Objectives: For Mabia camp: Training of pump technicians in the management of water points. Improved hygiene and sanitation through provision of digging tools for pit latrines. Provision of displaced persons kits comprising basic items such as blankets, mosquito nets, utensils, cooking pots, soap and salt. Distribution of seeds and tools to enhance food security and nutrition. Provision of English language training for teachers. In the course of the intervention, training of diocesan staff in emergency relief management. For Baikpa: Provision of displaced persons kits comprising basic items such as blankets, mosquito nets, utensils, cooking pots, soap and salt. Distribution of seeds and tools to enhance food security and nutrition. Provision of English language training for teachers. In the course of the intervention, training of diocesan staff in emergency relief management. TARGETED BENEFICIARIES The IDPs from Raga were first received in the transit camp at Namutina in November / December 2001 where they received aid from CARE. In January 2002, UNICEF transferred the IDPs to their current location in Mabia Camp. The population is estimated to be 4,891 households as indicated below: TRIBE NUMBER OF HOUSEHOLDS 1. Kresh 896 2 Balanda of Dem Zubair 755 3 Balanda of Raja 570 4 Chad 683 5 Yulu 483 6 Zande of Dem Zubair 398 7 Mangayat 310 8 Banda 497 9 Ajaa 299 TOTAL 4,891 Average number of people per household is 5, therefore the estimated population is 24,455. The population in Baikpa camp is estimated to be 6,079 made up of 1,216 households. Criteria Used in Beneficiary Selection and Number of Targeted Beneficiaries Because of the generalised nature of needs (IDP kits; agricultural inputs; teacher training; medicines and PHC supplies) in the two locations the assistance to be provided will serve the entire population of 24,455 (Mabia) and 6,079 (Baikpa) respectively. Distribution of emergency inputs will be managed by the Church and / or SINGOs such as WORD (with assistance from the civil authorities in the form of organisation). PROPOSED EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION The nature of the assistance to be provided is consistent with the nature of the problems and needs noted above. A total of 500 IDP kits will be purchased to cater for the needs of the approximately 6,000 households affected. This figure takes into consideration the kits issued earlier in the year by CARE and a number of other donors. Second hand clothing will also be procured to meet the needs of the estimated 5,000 young children living in the two camps. Second hand clothing is also required for other vulnerable groups. With respect to health care, standard primary health care drug kits will be purchased to meet the needs of the two populations for a period of six months. This will comprise drugs for an estimated 25,000 people in Mabia, which is an isolated area with a small native population, and an estimated 7,500 people in Baikpa, which has a substantial indigenous population. Given that a standard PHC kit is designed to meet the needs of approximately 5,000 people for one month, Mabia will need 5 (five) kits per month, or 30 (thirty) kits over a six month period. Baikpa will need one and a half kits per month or 9 (nine) kits over the six month period. A contingency of 6 (six) kits will then be added to cater for unforeseen eventualities, making an overall total of 45 kits. To ensure proper usage of the drugs provided a small incentive will be made available for each of seven qualified health workers. These health staff will be paid and supervised through WORD and the two dioceses. Also in the interests of improved health, training will be provided to two teams of three water point technicians, in pump maintenance. Digging tools will also be provided in order to expedite the digging of pit latrines. To promote long term food self reliance, seed and tools will be provided for 6,000 households. Items supplied will include: Two hand hoes per household; 10 kgs bean seed per household; 10 kgs maize seed per household; Cassava cuttings; Okra, tomato and onion vegetable seed. English language training courses for primary teachers will be conducted in Mupoi and Ezo for teachers from the two communities. Each course will last for a period of one month and will involve up to 20 teachers per location. To promote better communication and administration, a total of 30 bicycles will be purchased for distribution among the chiefs, health workers and teachers. A quantity of building materials will also be bought for the rehabilitation of local structures. Implementation Description per Activity As noted above, planned activities are to be undertaken by a number of organisations including CEAS itself. Specifically, CEAS will manage both the funds generated and the logistics, e.g., procurement, transport, co-ordination, monitoring, report writing and submission, for the planned intervention. Activities on the ground will be implemented by WORD and the two church dioceses, who are included among the beneficiaries of the programme because they are expected to benefit from the experience gained during project implementation. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING Administration The CEAS Nairobi office structure is composed of five departments:- Capacity Building; Field Operations; Finance; Monitoring & Evaluation and Programmes. All departments are vertical in the sense that each is specialised, dealing with a single discipline or group of inter-related disciplines. However, horizontal linkages exist above and below the departmental level. E.g. at the higher level the five department heads, together with the Director, constitute the Senior Management Team, while at the lower level each department relates, according to its own functions, with personnel and programmes in the field. The functions of the five departments are as follows: Capacity Building: Needs assessment of partner organisations. Elaboration of programmes of institutional and staff development covering said organisations and bodies. Organisation and facilitation of training programmes. Development of training materials. Field visits and supervision. Field Operations: Personnel management. Procurement, including preparation of tender dossiers and tender evaluations. Transport and logistics, e.g. road haulage, air cargo, air charter, customs clearance etc. Communications with the field, e.g. radio, satellite phone etc. Elaboration and periodic review of Field Ops procedures, including security procedures, procurement procedures etc. Field visits and supervision. Finance: Finance management, e.g. banking, cash disbursements etc. Financial control, e.g. supervision of field-based imprest accounts, preparation of monthly, half-yearly and yearly accounts statements. Field visits and supervision, including field audit. Office / compound management functions, including relations with LWF finance department etc. Monitoring & Evaluation: Project planning (in collaboration with Programmes office). Design and dissemination of suitable reporting formats, including selection of monitoring indicators. Training and orientation of field personnel in use of reporting formats. Editing / compilation of key programme reports (quarterly and annual). Preparation of annual staff evaluation reports (in collaboration with Field Ops). Field visits and supervision. Programmes: Project planning (in collaboration with M & E). Project / programme design (in collaboration with field staff and partners). Relations with NSCC and other partner organisations. Appraisal and selection of projects submitted for consideration by church bodies and SINGOs. Field visits and supervision. Persons responsible for the implementation of the activities described here will be: Programmes Co-ordinator - supervision and follow up. Finance Co-ordinator - budget control. Monitoring and Evaluation Co-ordinator - co-ordination with donors and reporting. Finance Management and Controls In the period from1996, when CEAS came into existence, until 2001, responsibility for financial management was shared between CAFOD of London (the CEAS "Facilitating Agency) and CEAS itself. Through a decision of the CEAS Executive Committee in September 2001, this situation has now changed with all finance management functions transferred from London to Nairobi in the financial year October 2001 to September 2002. Accordingly, CAFOD now performs only an advisory role, leaving all issues of management and accountability to CEAS alone. To assist the donors, CEAS continues to receive funds through a bank account in London that is supervised by CAFOD. The finance system in use in Nairobi is imbued with various checks and balances and no transactions are possible without the participation and collaboration of at least two individuals, e.g. for requisition and authorisation / joint account signatories etc. The two persons currently responsible for finance management are the Director and the Finance Co-ordinator, both LWF contracted international staff. Monitoring The M & E Co-ordinator is responsible for donor liaison and reporting with respect to implementation of the activities described here. IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE As indicated above, the timetable for implementation of this project is three months. The project will be implemented in tandem with the mainstream CEAS development programme in southern Sudan, concentrating on food security, health, education, water and women's activities. CO-ORDINATION The current CEAS policy on institution and capacity building has come to be known as Murafaga (Arabic for accompaniment). Recent experience indicates that the "Murafaga" methodology can work with relief activities as well as in pure development situations. This is fortunate because the CEAS Memorandum of Understanding and the Strategic Plan 2000 - 2005 both outline a role for CEAS in the emergency and relief sector5 For details see CEAS Accompaniment Strategy paper of 2001. 5. This approach has already been successfully put into practice in the recently completed Northern Bahr el Ghazal Emergency Feeding Programme, which saw CEAS fund raising for and working with a consortium of other implementing bodies, including the Catholic Diocese of Rumbek, NCA, CRS and World Relief.
