Watsan / Community Based Health Delegate / SOUDAN

CONTEXT OF PROJECT: A technical assessment was led in April-May 2010 by the French Red Cross (FRC) and its partner the Sudanese Red Crescent Society (SRCS) in order to assess the water & sanitation as well as health needs in Blue Nile State (BNS). This assessment led to the submission of a proposal to ECHO in August 2010. The “Integrated health program in Blue Nile” was accepted and will be financed during 11 months.

Blue Nile State is located in south-eastern Sudan. In the north, it is surrounded by Sennar State; in the west by Upper Nile State, and the south and east border on Ethiopia. The state covers an area of 14,000 km2. According to 2008 census figures, the total population of the State is 832,112 inhabitants. Administratively Blue Nile State is divided into six localities / counties: Damazin, Rosaires, Tadamoun (formed in May 2007), Baw, Geissan and Kurmuk. The people of Blue Nile can be classified into three main population groups: indigenous tribes (Berta, Ingassana, Funj, Hamaj, Jebalaween, Buroon, Uduk, Ragarig, Kuma, Genza, Surkum, Jumjum, Kedallo, Gumoz, Wataweet and Dwalla); Northern traders and religious men emigrated during the Funj Kingdom; and Arab tribes from North and East Sudan who settled in Geissan, Rosaires, Damazin and Kurmuk. There are also nomadic communities coming from West Africa like Fellata and Haousa, as well as agricultural families attracted by big farming projects established in the Seventies in the area. Most villages in Blue Nile State, especially in remote localities, are regarded as vulnerable due to: - displacements of the population over several decades following the war between the north and the south - drought which has struck the area for many years, and is considered as a chronic phenomenon by some experts

Except in Kurmuk locality, there are few NGOs and actors currently operating in Blue Nile State, especially in Tadamoun Locality where FRC project will be located. Identified water needs: According to SHHS (2006), 59% of people in Blue Nile do not have access to drinking water, mainly in non-urban areas and in the western parts of the state, and 89% of people do not have adequate sanitation facilities. Water quality is problematic even in towns like Damazin and Rosaires, where the Water Supply Corporation pumps water directly from the river without any purification or chemical treatment. In western parts of the State (Tadamoun locality and some of Baw locality), access to safe water sources is very difficult in dry season, with people often walking long distances to fetch water. Tadamoun locality authorities sometimes had to resort to tankering water from Damazin. The low capacity to manage water resources at community level and a shortage of spare parts often results in non-functioning hand pumps. More generally, there is a significant inadequacy of qualified staff, equipment and supplies on the ground that is hindering further improvements in this sector. Requirements of water and sanitation services are still in majority not covered throughout Blue Nile State, except Damazin and some areas in Kurmuk where several NGOs are operating.

Identified health needs: Despite its long time existing structure (9000 volunteers), the SRCS Blue Nile State Branch has not developed the National Community Health Volunteer Program (NCHVP) at State level so far, mainly due to the lack of available means (financial, human, organizational, logistics…). It received some support from SRCS Headquarters, from IFRC Disaster Relief Emergency Fund (DREF) and from ICRC essentially through training sessions related to First Aid in the community, but extra support is highly needed in order to cope with the growing challenges.

Identified organisational needs for the SRCS: The SRCS is FRC partner for the implementation of the program. Their staff needs capacity building on subjects like project cycle management, reporting, needs assessment.

Expected outputs: The program financed by ECHO is fully integrated. It has a water & sanitation component, with focus on water related conflict mitigation, as well as a hygiene & primary health component. It aim is to reduce mortality and morbidity among highly vulnerable populations through the provision of integrated assistance including relief items and access to basic services and protection. The project has been designed taking into account the specific context of Tadamoun locality. Indeed the area of intervention is inhabited by nomads as well as sedentary. The sharing of water according to traditional rules has been hindered by the scarcity of the resource in the past years. Nomads and their livestock are less and less able to find the necessary water. They have no choice but to put pressure on the scarce resources of the communities while looking for pasture. This leads to numerous conflicts. In this context the integrated health program also has a conflict mitigation component. It aims at mitigating conflict linked to water access in the area of intervention. The use of water from water pumps as well as hafirs will be agreed upon by representatives of both communities. In total, 5.000 vulnerable households and their cattle in 15 remote villages will directly benefit from the water, sanitation and health project. 80 employees, volunteers of SRCS or members of other organizations will have their capacity enhanced. FRC opened a Delegation in Khartoum in September 2010. The Delegation is composed of a Head of Delegation and a Watsan / community based health Delegate based in Damazin (with regular visits to Khartoum, according to the project needs).
