Are there any other key priority areas that have been omitted?

Note that our context is fluid & evolving all the time and priorities are expected to change over time!

Slide19

Re-establishing contact with the sub national FSL clusters in South Sudan

Objectives for 2017:Map and access contact details

of focal persons & sub cluster membersExtend

the two way flow of information sharing and learning: (a) from the field on changing contexts; minutes of meeting; and

(

b) from the FSLC Secretariat in terms of the products produced and wider dissemination of advice, guidance and support;

S

upport

existing forums to better coordinate, advocate and respond to a rapidly changing humanitarian context.

19

Slide20

Working more closely with the sub national clusters (State & County) and WFP/ FAO field offices

Under standing the changing context: demonstrate the mapping & context exercise with key informants the day before (WFP/ FAO/ OCHA etc.)

Data collection, analysis and prioritization: for IPC update and for more effective humanitarian response in a context of scarce resources & capacity;

Support decentralized coordination:Regular FSL sub cluster meetings & share highlightsWho is doing what & where for gap analysis and guidance for new actors or funding streamsLinking with UNOCHA on the ground for inter cluster response

20

IMO

Slide21

The essentials of coordination at any level:

Agree on the problem – consensus; document & communicate needsAgree on a solution -

elaborate strategy & response plan;

Identify a partner(s) who can respond: capacity & experienceDo they have the resources & capacity – identify the gap & seek support via the FSL cluster, CLA, your agency or directly with donor(s)Monitor & report on a regular basis (5Ws)

21

Slide22

Avoiding duplication & potential conflict:

Principle I: where at all possible stay where you are and scale up where you are already known, have a good track record, know the context well and have established good relations with the authorities;

Principle II: as a new entrant, coordinate with the national cluster (partner presence maps) and

coordinate with ALL actors on the ground; who is doing what where – identify the gaps; work around existing actions and interventions to complement the work of others; work closely with the sub clusters;Principle III: currently needs are greater than any one actor to meet entirely; (the humanitarian principle is to save lives) if needs are unmet can you support/ fund/ provide capacity for existing actors to meet those needs? Where this is not possible

work with existing partners & the sub cluster to scale up

/ save lives by complementing the work of other actors

22

Slide23

Strategy development:

‘back of an envelope’Along relief – recovery – rehabilitation – development continuumEmergency response

Who is doing what, where & why?How are we coordinating integration with ICWG (OCHA) & other clusters?

Transitioning to early recovery & resilienceWho is doing what, where & why?Demonstrate the integration & transition exercise (if completed the day before) or if time permits work with FSL partners in or after the meeting;

Slide24

Working with FSL clusters & OCHA for a more integrated response

IMO

Famine Prevention Response Package – focused around RRMs

Integrated package

: incorporating the existing and highly effective WFP/ UNICEF IRRM with livelihood support, health and WASH

Start up

: registration/ mass MUAC: MAM & SAM services

1

st

phase

: GFD (BSFP) + OTP/TSFP/IYCF + fishing kits and emergency health care and if required water trucking

2

nd

phase

: additionally NID (vaccination + micro-nutrient supplementation), static/ mobile health service delivery, WASH services: community mobilization & water supplies + vegetable kits and livestock vaccinations and treatment (for milk production)

3

rd

phase

: options for FFA/ FFE, nutrition messaging in institutions + rain season seeds and tools and later dry season livestock vaccination and treatment

Further phases

of intervention incorporate early recovery and resilience building where

possible

Slide25

Why is the

Bentui sub cluster the model for now?State level function – liaises and meets with Government officials periodicallyKnows its jurisdiction: Rubkona

& Guit; with some influence over Mayom & Koch (more recently)

Partners know one another: who is doing what and whereRegular meetings with spirit & vitalityLead agency (WFP) has authority to step in to avoid duplication; Espouses humanitarian values: impartiality, humanity, neutrality & independence and partnership principles: dignity & respect; and member buy in & delegated roles e.g. minutes & informal TWGs

25

Slide26

Thoughts on timely & effective reporting

Please share any minutes of meetings you have as regularly as you canAny

changes in the current context?Operational update

different from your 5W?Any external support required from the Cluster/ CLAs/ Donor/ ICWG: e.g. prioritizing common services (logistics cluster for cargo & UNHAS flights for personnel)
