Situation Overview and Humanitarian Needs Humanitarian access has improved in some areas and deteriorated in others. The secession of hostilities has allowed for renewed access to Greater Baggari, Western Bahr el Ghazal, for the first time since September 2018. UNICEF and partners have taken advantage of this opportunity and are responding to the needs of an estimated 28,000 people in Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Phase 4 conditions in the area. Similarly, in Central Equatoria, decreases in clashes between government and opposition forces in some areas have allowed UNICEF and partners to conduct several response activities to those affected by the recent fighting. However, the sustainability of access in these areas remains uncertain. At the same time, UNICEF and partners faced 15 reported access incidents in November, including a sharp rise in inter-communal violence, as well as restrictions of movement and bureaucratic impediments, many of which occurred in Jonglei and Unity states. These incidents delayed or prevented programme activities to support approximately 164,000 people in need. As the dry season approaches, the ability to take advantage of new and existing modalities of transportation, particularly roadways, are likely to improve. In November, the Logistics Cluster reported that it facilitated the transport of 1,261 metric tons of humanitarian cargo by road, air and river to 44 destinations on behalf of 75 organizations, the highest amount of cargo moved in a single month so far in 2018. On 27 November, the Ministry of Finance, together with UN agencies, launched the National Development Strategy for South Sudan for the period July 2018 to June 2021. The plan seeks to consolidate peace and stabilize the economy through strategic actions in six priority areas: (i) create enabling conditions for and facilitate the voluntary return and integration of displaced South Sudanese; (ii) develop appropriate laws and enforce the rule of law; (iii) ensure secure access to adequate and nutritious food; (iv) silence the guns by facilitating a permanent cessation of hostilities; (v) restore and expand the provision of basic services and; (vi) restore and maintain basic transport infrastructure such as roads and bridges. Speaking at the launch, Vice President Wani Igga read the President’s speech requesting all government offices, development partners and investors to align their programmes and investments with the strategy.

Humanitarian Strategy In 2018, in line with UNICEF’s Humanitarian Action for Children (HAC) and the inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), UNICEF is strengthening and expanding its programmes through four modalities that increase the capacity and reach of interventions: (1) static operations in stable areas; (2) outreach programmes; (3) mobile campaigns; and (4) integrated rapid response mechanism (IRRM) missions. These modalities facilitate sustained service delivery in both secure and highly inaccessible locations. UNICEF continues to invest in strengthening national partner capacities and improving accountability to affected populations by building on existing community-based networks. This approach included 180 Days Scale-Up Plans from March to August 2018, targeting 11 priority counties considering the expected significant deterioration of the food security and nutrition situation during the lean season. Following the conclusion of the 180 Days Scale-Up Plan, UNICEF is supporting populations facing catastrophic food security conditions (IPC Phase 4 and 5) through the development of micro response plans to scale up interventions. The micro plans include Nutrition, Health, WASH, Education and Child Protection activities that aim to reach the most vulnerable populations, targeting 102,000 beneficiaries. Specific areas targeted include Leer and Mayendit, Pibor and Canal/Pigi, Panyikang, Greater Baggari and Cabel/Pigi. UNICEF aims to conduct five IRRM missions per month as the situation permits. Since the beginning of 2018, 50 joint IRRM missions with the World Food Programme (WFP) were conducted in 17 counties: Ayod, Duk, Canal/Pigi, Fangak, Koch, Leer, Longochuk, Luakpiny/Nasir, Mayendit, Nyirol, Nzara,Panyijiar, Raga, Rubkona, Torit, Uror and Wau/Baggari. Since January 2018, these missions have reached 545,179 people, including 112,178 children under 5 years of age. In November, three IRRM missions accessed hard-to-reach locations, also classified as facing IPC 4 (emergency) and IPC 5 (catastrophic) food security conditions, in Nadiangere, Western Equitoria, and Duk Pagaak and Pajut in Jonglei. These missions reached 14,529 new beneficiaries, including 2,867 children under 5 years of age. Additionally, two follow-up missions were conducted in Dablual and Thaker, Unity state. Five IRRM missions, planned to Ulang County, Upper Nile have been postponed to 2019 due to ongoing access negotiations with local authorities.

UNICEF is advocating at the national and local levels for increased and sustained humanitarian access. UNICEF is also facilitating coherent coordination through UNICEF leadership of the WASH, Education and Nutrition clusters, as well as the Child Protection sub-cluster.

Summary Analysis of Programme Response Health: A total of 289,846 outpatients, of which 125,372 were children under 5 years and 154,113 were female, received curative consultative services of which 38 per cent was attributed to malaria, 19 per cent to pneumonia, 10 per cent to diarrhoea and 33 per cent to other communicable and non-communicable diseases. These consultations were provided through static health facilities, outreach, mobile clinics and RRMs. To prevent further spread of malaria, 160,262 long lasting insecticide treated nets were provided to children and pregnant women through immunization and maternal health care points. A total of 1,153,845 children from six states (Western, Central and Eastern Equatoria, Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity) were immunized against polio during the third round of sub-national immunization days (SNID). Approximately 92 per cent of children under 5 targeted were vaccinated. Support to maternal health activities continued in UNICEF-supported locations across the country. This involved institutional capacity building and strengthening community systems to boost demand for services. Thirty-eight health care providers were trained on prevention of mother to child transmission (PMTCT) of HIV, 14,072 pregnant women attended the first recommended antenatal care (ANC) visit and 5,625 attended the fourth ANC visit in November. A total of 3,298 pregnant women gave birth in health facilities, of which 2,413 mothers (73 per cent) delivered under skilled birth attendance. A total of 7,083 pregnant women with unknown HIV status were counselled and tested; 70 tested positive, of which 60 were enrolled in anti-retroviral therapy (ART). UNICEF also supported an accelerated integrated HIV response in Jonglei state, in support of an emergency plan to scale HIV services in South Sudan by the UN Joint Country Team on HIV. Jonglei was prioritized as it has witnessed protracted conflict emergency since 2013. The response targeted uniformed forces and surrounding host communities, 15 years of age and above, in hard-to-reach areas with HIV testing and treatment services through outreach. Initial reports indicate 3,009 individuals (1,843 male; 1,166 female) were counselled and tested for HIV. Host communities accounted for 61 per cent of those tested and counselled, while the remainder were comprised of uniformed forces. The HIV positivity rate was 3 per cent (1.5 per cent among host communities and 5.1 per cent among uniformed forces, 5.2 per cent among males, 2.3 per cent among females). Of those who tested positive, 49 per cent were found to be already enrolled in ART and the main challenges to ongoing treatment included limited facilities providing ART services and stigmatization leading to low uptake of testing and treatment services. UNICEF is exploring modalities to expand routine HIV services in these areas. Since January 2018, 434 suspected measles cases, including five resulting in death, have been reported. The cases were reported from 19 counties during the year. Outbreaks were declared in Aweil centre, Aweil east, Rumbek, centre, Rumbek east, Yirol east, Juba (Mahat internally displaced persons - IDP - camp), Bentiu Protection of Civilians (PoC) site and Bor PoC. The outbreak responses have been closed in all the counties except Rumbek east, where implementation of response activities is still ongoing. Despite the rupture of measles reagents for testing the cases in July to September, all suspected cases were sent for lab investigation. In total, 52 cases tested Igm +ve for measles. To contain identified cases, UNICEF through partners vaccinated 24,349 children aged 6 months to 15 years. Through the Gavi Cold Chain Equipment Optimization Platform project, UNICEF received an additional 159 solar fridges, of which 25 have been installed raising the cumulative total to 133 new cold chain equipment installed in 2018. Through national and state level task forces, UNICEF and partners continue to closely monitor the Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), intensifying preventive and preparedness activities in targeted high-risk areas and potential points of entry. Priority preparedness activities include surveillance, screening at points of entry, and capacity development on case management, safe and dignified burial, pre-positioning of supplies and risk communication to increase community awareness on EVD. Following a prioritization exercise on EVD preparedness on 17 November and feedback from the joint independent monitoring mission (15-19 November), UNICEF continued providing preparedness support, primarily on risk communication and WASH activities. Nutrition: Although nutrition services have resumed in Baggari, delivery of humanitarian assistance has been disrupted since early September 2018 by ongoing access negotiations and reaching consensus with local communities regarding modality and locations of delivery. However, plans are in place to deliver assistance in this area in the coming


4

weeks. In Unity, most nutrition services have resumed except in three outpatients therapeutic programme (OTP) facilities in Mayendit (2) and Koch (1). Temporary service disruption in greater Koch took in late November, though services are functional through the support of community nutrition workers and volunteers. Vitamin A supplementation and deworming campaigns were implemented in all states, preceded by a full-day training prior to the commencement of a three-day implementation campaign. Approximately 2.1 million children are projected to be reached in the second round of Vitamin A supplementation. The food security and nutrition monitoring system round 23, is ongoing with 50 per cent of the 30 training sites at the state level accomplishing training of enumerators. Data collection is expected to be completed by mid to end December 2018. Through IRRM missions in Unity (2) and Western Equatoria (1), 2,816 children aged 6 to 59 months were screened, of which 79 and 403 children were identified as suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and treated in OTPs and targeted supplementary feeding programmes respectively. Additionally, 1,599 children aged 6 to 59 months were given Vitamin A supplementation and 1,181 received deworming treatment while 2,416 pregnant and lactating women were reached with key messages on optimal maternal infant and young child feeding practices. The highest proportion of acutely malnourished children was in Northern Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap, 21 per cent and 19 per cent, respectively. In 2018, UNICEF and partners admitted 176,278 to the over 865 and 55 OTP and stabilization centres, accounting for 82 per cent of the 2018 target (215,312). UNICEF has secured supply needs for 2018 and anticipates an additional 45 per cent of ready-to-use therapeutic food needs for 2019 through donor commitments. Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH): The UNICEF WASH programme continued to provide access to safe water and basic sanitation services in affected host communities, PoC sites and in IDP collective sites. As part of UNICEF’s priorities, implementing partners are promoting youth engagement in programme implementation through strengthening skills and knowledge related to the provision of WASH services. Concern Worldwide in Bentiu PoC has established a youth group of 35 members (16 male; 19 female) to be trained on hygiene promotion, solid waste management and bookkeeping. Approximately 189,112 beneficiaries in PoC sites and IDP camps continued to have access to improved water through temporary systems including water trucking and surface water treatment. In addition, 40,160 new beneficiaries were reached this month with access to improved water supply through the rehabilitation of 64 borehole/hand pumps and motorized water yards in Central Equatoria, Northern Bahr el Ghazal, Western Bahr el Ghazal, Jonglei, Unity and Upper Nile states bringing the 2018 cumulative number of beneficiaries reached to 494,879. Similarly, 45,753 individuals in PoC sites and IDP camps benefited from maintenance and rehabilitation of emergency and communal sanitation facilities. An additional 7,899 new individuals were reached with basic sanitation facilities through the construction of 22 new latrines and rehabilitation of eight institutional latrines, 187 communal and household latrines. Six villages in Northern Bahr el Ghazal were declared open defecation free, raising cumulative beneficiaries from sanitation services to 152,632 in 2018. Partnership agreements were signed with four implementing partners to install/construct WASH facilities, including handwashing facilities in seven proposed Ebola isolation units in Yei, Yambio, Wau and Jubek states. Construction of WASH facilities in isolation units is ongoing. Education: UNICEF delivered educational supplies, including 106 children kits, 365 teacher kits, 680 dignity kits, 30 recreation kits, 20 tarpaulins, 3,520 school bags, textbooks and teachers guides in Nasir and Ulang, Upper Nile state. In Southern Unity state, through its partner INTERSOS, UNICEF pre-positioned and distributed teaching and learning materials including early childhood development kits, children kits, teacher kits, student kits, dignity kits, tarpaulins, recreation kits, literacy and numeracy materials, assorted textbooks and teacher guides to 16 primary schools in Mayiendit County, benefitting 9,503 school-age children (4,278 girls). In Mundri East, Western Equatoria, 4,307 children were reached with school materials, including children kits, teacher kits, dignity kits and recreational kits.

On 26-30 November, Year 8 students in primary schools throughout South Sudan prepared to take the Primary Leaving Examination to transition to secondary education. In preparation, UNICEF, through its partners, assisted with the transportation of examination papers, including to four centres in Sudan People’s Liberation Army-in Opposition (SPLA-iO)-controlled areas of Akobo, Lankien, Walgak, Jiech and Fangak. In Warrap and Abyei. UNICEF helped transport and distribute Year 8 examinations to 76 centres, enabling 6,881 students (2,332 girls) to sit their exams. In Rumbek, a total of 3,827 (1,066 female) Year 8 candidates are being assisted. In Pibor, Nile Hope, together with the State Ministry of Education and community representatives, organized a Back to Learning campaign with support from UNICEF. The key message of the campaign attended by 2,500 children, was ‘All children and youths have the right to go to school’. Speeches urged parents to allow all children to join school regardless of age, sex or physical disability. Child Protection: UNICEF and partners reached 14,135 children (6,242 girls; 7,893 boys) with psychosocial support (PSS) activities in child-friendly spaces, schools and other community-based interventions in seven states. An additional 107 unaccompanied and separated children (49 girls; 58 boys) were registered across the country and 45 children (18 girls; 27 boys) reunified with their families. A total of 15,495 individuals (4,322 girls; 5,028 boys; 3,833 women; 2,312 men) living in high-risk mine areas were reached with life-saving mine risk education messages in Jonglei, Unity, Central and Western Equatoria and Upper Nile states. In addition, 5,739 children (2,765 girls; 2,974 boys) received life-saving child protection messaging, including on prevention of family separation, recruitment into armed groups and grave child rights violations. UNICEF conducted an initial verification exercise, in cooperation with the United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) and the national Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration Commission (DDRC), in Unity to support the identification and registration of children associated with armed forces and armed groups (CAAFAG). The exercise will continue in the coming month to facilitate the release of CAAFAG. The second vocational training cohort started in Yambio covering 200 (149 boys; 51 girls) newly-released children. UNICEF and partners reached 16,319 people (3,704 boys; 4,840 girls; 2,882 men; 4,893 women) through gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response services, including awareness raising on GBV and available services, individualized case management, PSS, knowledge and skills building courses, access to women and girls-friendly services and referrals for clinical management of rape, as well as additional specialized services. Communication for Development (C4D): The Ministry of Health, with support from UNICEF, WHO and partners, has implemented a SNID campaign covering Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria, Western Equatoria, Unity, Jonglei and Upper Nile. The campaign, which targets over 2 million children under 5 with oral polio vaccination along with deworming and Vitamin A supplementation, was supported with intensive social mobilization and community engagement activities informing and educating families and caregivers on the importance and benefits of immunization. As part of the campaign, over 1,000 community mobilizers from the Integrated Community Mobilization Network were trained, radio messaging broadcasted, information, education and communication (IEC) materials produced and displayed in strategic locations and traditional media and drama shows conducted. Moreover, under the Expanded Programme for Immunization (EPI), UNICEF, together with the State Ministry of Health for Yei, Wau and Aweil trained 166 health facility vaccinators on interpersonal communication skills and community engagement approaches. In an effort to improve routine immunization coverage in the country, UNICEF, with Gavi support, is providing training on interpersonal communication skills and other effective communication approaches to health facilities vaccinators that provide immunization services to enable them to effectively interact with mothers and caregivers and to deliver key messages on the importance of immunization during routine immunizations sessions. UNICEF efforts towards EVD prevention continue through a series of risk communication and community engagement activities across the country to raise awareness and educate communities, monitor people’s perceptions and community surveillance with an emphasis on early reporting of suspected cases. In November, a total of 6,480 broadcasts in six languages, as well as six talk shows, were conducted on 18 local radio stations across the country. This brings the cumulative total to 17,496 radio messages and 66 talk shows broadcasted reaching approximately 40


6

per cent of the population with EVD prevention messages. Internews, in collaboration with UNICEF and WHO, continue to carry out mass awareness campaigns in PoC sites and IDP camps in the country. In Yei, 40 trained mobilizers conducted house-to-house mobilization totalling 4,400 household visits in which they interacted with families on Ebola prevention and control. The mobilizers conducted additional community engagement activities including market awareness, waterpoint sessions, school interventions, weekly church/mosque announcements and health facility sensitization, reaching 11,856 people with EVD preventive messages. Additionally, eight separate public address systems covering 40 hours of street announcements were carried out covering all residential areas in Yei town and nearby villages reaching an estimated 32,000 individuals with key messages. In Yambio, Maridi, Tambura, Ezo, Wau and Nimule, EVD risk communication and community engagement activities are ongoing. Eighty-nine mobilizers, 30 community leaders and 19 veterinary workers were trained on EVD in Tambura and Yambio. In Nimule, 84 community leaders were sensitized in Mogali. School awareness sessions were conducted in St. Patrick Primary School and Model Secondary, reaching 916 school children and teachers (499 male; 417 female) with EVD messages. More than 80,000 assorted IEC materials in different dialects have been dispatched to Yei, Yambio and Nimule. The toll-free line continues to receive alerts and enquiries from the public around both information on transmission and symptoms and reporting symptoms. From 07 to 13 November, 542 calls were received.

Supply and Logistics As part of the dry season planning, US$ 5.6 million worth of multi-sectoral supplies were dispatched from UNICEF warehouses to implementing partners’ country-wide and through warehouse-to-warehouse transfers. The bulk of the dispatches comprised nutrition supplies delivered to various locations. Fifty-nine trucks carrying multi-sectoral supplies were dispatched to Yambio, Mundri, Bentiu, Rumbek, Wau, Bor and Aweil under the Logistics Cluster’s humanitarian convoy. Education and nutrition supplies were airlifted to the International Rescue Committee, Panyijar, Mayendit-RRM, Kurwai-Pigi and UNIDO-Leer using the Logistics Cluster aircraft.

Media and External Communications World Children’s Day on 20 November was the main focus of external communications during the reporting period. In collaboration with three radio stations, UNICEF South Sudan arranged for children to take over the airwaves from the morning until the evening. UNICEF staff actively participated in programmes as guests, including the Chief of Child Protection. The radio takeover was documented through social media channels as well as through the UK national committee and The Telegraph. A billboard commemorating World Children’s Day was placed above the office.

Security Confidence-building talks between the South Sudan’s People’s Defence Forces (SSPDF) and opposition forces continued throughout November, in many parts of the country. On 22 November, a delegation of SPLA-iO commanders led by Lt. Gen. Ashab Khamis Fahal met their counterparts from the SSPDF in Wau town, regarding implementing the security arrangements under the Revitalized Agreement on Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (R-ARCSS). Also on 22 November, SPLA-iO commanders in Mundri met with their counterparts in the SSPDF, as well as state authorities in Mundri town, Western Equatoria. Similar meetings were also held between the SSPDF and SPLA-iO forces in Malakal and Upper Nile state, reportedly focused on enacting free movement for civilians, enabling unhindered access to humanitarian organizations, and ceasing hostilities. Despite peaceful inroads made between opposition and government forces, the National Salvation Front (NAS) under the leadership of Gen. Thomas Cirilo Swaka continues to oppose the R-ARCSS. On 27 November, NAS released a press statement on the conclusion of its leadership conference convened on 23-25 November under the theme “Towards a Just and Sustainable Peace in South Sudan”, also chaired by Cirilo. The conference endorsed the decision of NAS leadership to abstain from signing the R-ARCSS; declared federalism as the most viable and appropriate system of governance in South Sudan; reiterated the group’s commitment to the December 2017 cessation of hostilities agreement; and endorsed the renaming of the South Sudan Opposition Alliance (SSOA) splinter group to South Sudan National Democratic Alliance (SSNDA).

The 66th Extraordinary Session of the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) Council of Ministers convened on 16 November and discussed the status of the peace process in South Sudan. While committing to use its leadership to leverage more resources and urging the government to set aside additional resources to finance R-ARCSS implementation, the Council appealed to the UN and partners for technical and financial support. The Council further directed the IGAD Special Envoy to reach out to opposition groups who have not signed the R-ARCSS to join its implementation or otherwise risk being labelled spoilers of the peace process. Finally, it urged the IGAD Chiefs of Defence staff to expedite assessment on the Regional Protection Force (RPF) to facilitate submission of the report to IGAD, the African Union Peace and Security Council and the UN Security Council including concrete proposals to revise the mandate and structure of the RPF to allow the participation of all IGAD Member States.

Funding At end of November, there is a funding gap of 23 per cent against UNICEF South Sudan's 2018 HAC requirements of US$ 183.3 million. Funding available under HAC 2018 includes carry-forward from 2017, mainly due to multi-year funding, as well as substantial funding received in December 2017. UNICEF wishes to express its sincere gratitude to all public and private donors for the contributions received.

- The figures indicated above are gross (including GR, but not programmable at CO level). - HAC funded includes substantial C/F funding from 2017, mainly due to multi-year funding as well as funding received in December 2017. - There are grants included in HAC Appeal SS, however business areas are different to SS, hence excluded from the table data, ex: SM180051 (Denmark), KM180002 (DFAM), SM180051 (Kenya), SM180051 (PD). - SM180003, SM180010, SM180011 income was part of 2017, so adjusted values have been taken for income received in 2018.

1 The Nutrition Cluster target does not include refugee children who are covered under the Multi-Sector Refugee Appeal, while UNICEF’s nutrition response covers all children, including refugee children residing in the country. 2 The Child Protection target against the HAC 2018 slightly differs from the HRP 2018 target due to the reduced funding for the Child Protection sub-Cluster (CPSC).
