Sudan 2017 Appealing Agency Project Title Project Code Sector/Cluster Refugee project Objectives WORLD RELIEF (WORLD RELIEF) Comprehensive Primary Health Care Services For Vulnerable Communities in West and Central Darfur SUD-17/H/111131 Health No The overall project objective is to improve access to integrated primary health care services for conflict-affected 252,000 (131040 women) populations individuals (women, men, girls, boys, and especially children under five years old) among IDPs, returnees, pastoralist, and host communities in Azum, Geneina, Kerenik, Sirba, Nertiti and Golo localities of Central Darfur and Geneina Locality of West Darfur. Beneficiaries Implementing Partners This project contributes to the three HRP health strategic outcomes. From the total, the project allocated 10% of the resources to contribute to the first outcome which is strengthen the capacities to prepare, detect and respond promptly to public health risk or events at federal, state and locality level. The project main focus is on the second outcome allocating about 60% of the resource. The second outcome reads provide primary health care services including referral services for vulnerable population affected by conflict and natural disasters. The second focus of the project is on outcome 3 which is ensure Maternal and Child Health (MCH) services for the reduction of maternal and child morbidity and mortality among vulnerable populations and 30% of the resource has been allocated to contribute to this outcome.

Needs People living in West and Central Darfur suffer from low access to health care, high disease prevalence and mortality rates & frequent disease outbreaks. In both states our health records shows that ARI, Malaria, diarrhea & eye infection are the leading causes of morbidity and mortality especially in children. As these are commonly caused by communicable diseases there is a high need to strengthen the linkage between wash, nutrition and health sectors and create awareness in the needy communities to improve the situation. The other field level findings from team report shows that community health seeking behavior in both states still needs to be further strengthened even though there is high differences in the two states. To this end WR will further strengthen the capacity of community health promoters in creating awareness & strengthen the early referral system through strengthening house to house visit. Health facility assessment conducted by World Relief team indicate that all the facilities supported by World Relief in Central Darfur & some in west Darfur requires rehabilitation and internal furniture and supplies support. Due to limited availability of resources the rehabilitation activities has been prioritized among the eight health facilities and priorities are given to Tendelti, Center 8, Jabal Ahmar & Noorselam health facilities. The Sudan MICS 2014, which covers thirty-one indicators related to child mortality, child survival, and maternal health, indicates that Central Darfur is far below the national average in most of the indicators. The survey indicated that 67.9% of mothers attend antenatal care provided by skilled health personnel at least once, but only 47.1% of mothers attend antenatal care for the WHO defined standard of at least four times. Only 37.5% of births are delivered by skilled attendants, and just 9.5% of mothers deliver at health institutions as compared to the national averages of 77.7% of women who deliver with a skilled attendant and 27.7% of women who deliver in a health facility. Especially in Golo areas many health facilities have been left inoperable, creating an urgent need for basic and specialized health care. Also, an interagency assessment (including WRS) done in Thur in West Jebel Marra Locality found only one functioning PHC lacking cold chain, experiencing drug shortages, & in need of physical rehabilitation. There has been frequent occurrence of communicable diseases outbreaks in west and Central Darfur state. During the last four years there were communicable disease outbreaks of scabies, leishmania, yellow fever, meningitis and dengue fever. World Relief in collaboration with SMOH, WHO and UNICEF played a great role in containing the diseases and reducing the impacts of the outbreaks. Inadequate knowledge on preventive measures and management of the communicable diseases has been among the main reasons for the frequent outbreaks. To this end, there is a need to strengthen the capacity of our health facilities on EWARS reporting and creating community awareness. The 2016 HeRAM 4th quarter report showed that only 24% in Geneina, 0% in Azum & 56% Nertiti health facilities in the surveyed localities are reporting regularly to WHO and MoH. This also reveals that there has been big gap in getting accurate epidemiological trends of communicable diseases contributing to late detection of outbreaks and then late responses. WRS conducted household and community level health, wash and nutrition assessment in Golo mainly in Kolmol, Tarbil, Kairo & other villages and the result shows that there is high need to basic services. More than 61240 new returnees and 2419 nomads are without wash, health and nutrition services. The local assessments further demonstrate, only 2% of women reported delivering at health facilities. Child immunization rates were only 78%, & no survey respondents reported receiving all recommended vaccine for children. Activities or outputs Page 2 of 5
