1. Overview – the purpose of this document

3
Based on current humanitarian situation in South Sudan several donors are funding the
delivery of assistance to affected populations through rapid response mechanism. The
objective of the mechanism is to ensure rapidity in delivery services to the most affected
population in South Sudan.

The purpose of this document is to standardize the strategies for key WASH Emergency
Preparedness and Response for partners working across South Sudan (Solidarites, PAH, Medair,
NRC, Oxfam, IOM) to ensure not only rapidity but also quality interventions. The
standardization will further allow partners to share lessons learnt in different areas aiming at
improving quality and being more accountable to out beneficiaries.

These guidelines are in line with international Sphere stands, existing line ministries and
cluster guidelines and therefore should be updated regularly.

2. Coordination

 Coordination meetings on weekly basis – currently every Tuesdays

 Prioritization of the areas – done by partners based on the information on the gaps or
needs from static partners on the ground and Cluster based on ICWG context updates

 Rapid assessment and response

o team to be deployed up to 8 days for assessment

o duration of assessment period – max 1 week (minimum for assm: HH

assessment, FGD, water quality testing at HH and water point level)

o reporting – up to 5 days

o sharing report with cluster and partners for comments and approval of possible
intervention

o intervention can be started immediately after reporting or if confirmation from

the cluster, intervention can continue straight after assessment

o delivery of assistance (based on the echo standardized indicators) -

approximately within 14 days after finalizing assessment

o duration of the response approximately up to 3 months (can be modified if

needs are still there, after communication with the cluster)

o core pipeline

o support of Logistic Cluster for rapid delivery of intervention materials

 Ponderation process

4
  Core pipeline process
o Link to the warehouse stock website, template, etc.

o Process described by Cluster/pipeline managers

 Partner’s reporting

o Dashboard weekly reporting – Mondays

o Assessment and intervention reports shared regularly, or any other relevant

documents

o Information sharing on regular basis – skype group, WASH Cluster EP&R email
group ([email protected])

3. Beneficiaries selection for WASH NFI and Hygiene kit distribution

These guidelines are an effort to ensure an independent needs-based and principled approach
to humanitarian response and appropriate targeting of beneficiaries to ensure equitable
access to wash services, especially for the most vulnerable.

2.1. Selection Criteria

MAIN GUIDING RULES FOR BENEFICIARY SELECTION AND TARGETING

 Independent selection and verification of beneficiaries through organization and
project specific needs-based selection criteria is critical.
 Prioritization of the most vulnerable is necessary.
 Facilitation of access to assistance for all, especially the most vulnerable is required.
 Geographical coverage must be focused on the areas and populations most in need.
 Taking into consideration pre-existing social, cultural and political dynamics or
practices that may marginalize or exploit certain groups is fundamental.
 Developing monitoring mechanisms to check that assistance is independent and needs
based is required.

2.1.1 SELECTION CRITERIA SPECIFICATION

Internal Displaced People or people directly affected by the crisis.

- For WASH services search as NFIs, hygiene kits, water supply and latrine the whole of
this population is considered and blanket targeting may be considered vulnerable

5
 group within the host community, such family head by the Elderly, Child disabled and
Female, , Pregnant and lactating women, HH with malnourished child admitted in the
nutrition program and disabled

- Homes hosting IDP within the host community - these are HH observed to be
accommodating Internal Displaced Persons.

- Returnee – if the HH has returned within 3 months one-time support is provided so as

to help them cope up reintegrating with the community.

2.1.2 Vulnerability criteria

Vulnerability criteria should be considered with large number of populations that cannot be
all served with the assistance within emergency response.
 UE: Unaccompanied Elderly: Elderly persons above 60 who are living alone, and do
not have any support from their relatives and/or community.
 UM: Unaccompanied Minor: Children under 18 years of age who have been
separated from both parents and/or caregivers.
 SD: Severe Disability: Persons who have physical or mental disability, family
having person with disability
 FHH: Female Headed Household
 SP: Single Parent: Divorced, separated or widowed single female/male with minor
children.
 PL: Pregnant and lactating women
 FM: Families with Severely Acute malnourished children, Families with high GAM
rate

2.2. Registration/verification/distribution process

This stage is critical, tedious exercise and transparency paramount if the intervention in
addition to averting insecurity. When it’s not a blanket targeting, local leaders (include as
many as possible and as representative as possible) must be well briefed on the targeting
criteria.
Issues to watch out/avoid during the registrations are:
 Double registrations - mostly linked to splinting of families or even registration twice
especially in a verse population
 skipping of house hold, intended or unintended
 Disrespect to the targeting criteria either as favor, oversight or not aware of the
criteria
 Include the community in the process: liaise with the authorities on the ground
 Registrations team composed of people selected by the community should be
trained/briefed on the targeting criteria
 Beneficiary registration must be announced with local means at least 2 hrs before it
starts
 Registration should be done at the household level

6
  Collect info from different sources and verify
 Registration must be closely supervised to avoid biasness

VERIFICATION

This is the stage in distribution where the selected targeted group is confirmed for the
provision of support. This happens in a situation where the period between assessment and
intervention is done. Verification should be done on HH level if possible and always in key IDP
or other affected by crisis areas.

How verification is done:

Verification is conducted by the emergency team with the support of M&E staff (if
possible/available), as well as protection officer should be part of the
registration/verification and distribution process (if possible/available/ possibly done in
cooperation with protection partners).

Meeting with the local authority from government officials to IDPs leaders or chiefs depending
on the context.

Verifying lists of affected populations with names provided previously by local authorities or
partners on ground. If such lists are provided and the use of it requested by partners on the
ground, there should be random verification of number of HH.

Transept walk and observing the presence of the beneficiaries through HH visits, and key IDPs
areas or other areas affected by the crisis.

During Verification:

The community leader has to be involved fully in the process, especially the chiefs or IDP
leaders.

In case of any given list of registered beneficiaries, team has to follow up on the list for
verification after confirming its source. In a situation where the list is illegible, DO NOT USE
IT, this happens in a situation where the list is for food distribution and beneficiaries have
WFP tokens, and sometimes, it is an old list, and there may be new IDPs that were not
considered. It is not advised to consider any lists provided by the local authority without
verification on the targeted criteria, as there is a risk of the list being inflated.

All verified beneficiaries should be provided with a token or any identity so as to distinguish
the targeted group.

REGISTRATION CRITERIA

7
This is a stage after verification, where the targeted groups are registered and issued a token
(Card), in a situation where valid list is provided by any partner on the ground, it is
recommended that the list are verified before being used for registration.

Types of Registration

House to house registration: This is most effective type of registration where the
enumerators move from house to house to register targeted beneficiaries. This applies in a
situation where the displaced people are in household, or integrated into the respective host
community.

Central registration: This is the type of registration where targeted beneficiaries are
mobilized in a central point, and this is more effective in a situation where the IDPs are
camped inside a public building especially in schools or churches. It may not be applicable in
a situation where the IDPs are integrated into the host community.

Collective registration: This type of registration is more effective in Protection of Civilian

Camps (PoC).

Verification after registration:

Verifying registration of affected populations through transept walk and observing the
presence of the beneficiaries through HH visits, and key IDPs areas or other areas affected by
the crisis. Checking vulnerability status as stated during registration. Confirm beneficiaries
received PAH tokens. Confirm all affected populations, particularly in congested IDP areas
(such as schools, churches, etc.) have received the tokens.

DISTRIBUTION PROCESS
Verification center
Verification of beneficiaries through tokens (verifying names on the tokens and on the
registration lists). One or two or three even four (4) verification centers depending on the
number of population to be served. In these stage, beneficiaries present their tokens, the
tokens have numbers that are corresponding to numbers on registration forms then the
beneficiary signs through putting fingerprint against the corresponding number on registration
form, bearing the HH name for accountability. The token is signed by the enumerator and
taken to PAH Hygiene and Sanitation officer/ Wash Technician where the items are being
issued.
Demonstration center:
Before beneficiaries received items, they are asked to attend demonstration session, PAH
Hygiene and Sanitation Officer together with trained CHP is stationed at the demonstration
centers to carry out PUR demonstrations at the point where beneficiaries were already
verified.
Receiving center:

8
The beneficiaries present their tokens to PAH ERT staff, who then punch them to prove that
they have been processed and at this point the beneficiaries receive their items. Order need
to be maintained at every stage of the process. All beneficiaries are registered and issued
tokens receive their WASH NFIs at this stage. Those who lost their tokens are considered
together with other vulnerable people who were previously not registered during registration,
through the help of local authorities they are served with remaining items.

Distribution Reporting: core pipeline reporting (if core pipeline items used), final report of
the intervention (also to be shared with core pipeline managers).

2.3. Mainstreaming: Accountability, protection, gender, GBV

- Daily workers both female and male

- Selection criteria based on gender equality, disabilities, vulnerabilities
- Focus group discussion with male and female: at assessment level, intervention
planning stage, regular field team monitoring visits, post distribution monitoring, post
intervention monitoring visits. Work with protection officer or protection partner to
support the FGDs.
- Reduce GBV by selecting safe and accessible areas for registration, verification, etc.
- Take under consideration pooling factor and how beneficiaries can face security issues
- Distribution site Safety audits – analyzing
- Including more female staff to approach female beneficiaries
- Keep more vulnerable groups in separate line, to assist them (disabled, elders, etc.)
- set up complaint/feedback system for beneficiaries and all stakeholders, ensure all
are clearly aware of the possibility to provide feedback
- post the list of beneficiaries at the distribution point
- distribution should start early (do not keep beneficiaries in long hours waiting) and
finish early to allow the furthest beneficiaries reaching home before dark
- arranging for drinking water containers at the distribution point
- quick monitoring after the distribution

3. Hygiene Promotion strategy

3.1. Sphere Standards

3.2. Community Hygiene Promotion

3.2.1. CHPs selection / mobilisation

9
  One CHP is selected within the geographical location of every 100 to 150
households or 600 to 900 catchment population.
 10-30 CHPs per intervention
 Local authorities providing list of the CHPs, verifying with the chiefs to select
group of potential candidates
 Interviews done with CHPs to choose the appropriate people (level of literacy,
knowledge of hygiene, communication skills, consider age, community members
more respected by the community, speak fluently the local dialect)
 Include both groups to be CHPs (IDPs, host community), choose vulnerable people
to build their capacity
 Where there are different communities e.e. Juba, check that the CHP are
comfortable and safe to visit all House hold within their catchment (considering
cultural, racial differences, other)
 Accountability to affected population – ensure to include affected communities to
participate
 Include female and male, some disabled people for minor activities (based on level
of disability, ex. people with limited movement doing HP in central places as
markets, etc.)
 Trusted by the community, with certain maturity in making decisions, widely
accepted, respected and selected by the community themselves (possibly wife of
the chief, other)
 Select people who already have for example latrines in the houses, that can be an
example
 Committed, willing to continue work voluntarily not anticipating material or
monetary benefits.
 Flexible and willing to adapt to changes in mobilisation work patterns
 Possess good leadership skills
 A good planner, analytic with strong communication and listening skills
 Not biased towards men, accept the role of women in decision making on key
issues and respect gender sensitivities in the community
 Have some prior knowledge of health, hygiene and community mobilisation.
Alternative if do not have prior knowledge, must be willing and open to learn
about hygiene promotion and community mobilisation work.
 Adult age with 18 years above
 Have family acceptance indicated by support by his/her family in carrying the work
 Have enthusiasm characterised by being motivated to support communities

3.2.2. Time of work and incentives

The amount given to the CHP is depended on CCM rate provided monthly by OCHA. Monetary
incentives are provided as support for performing their work. The period of incentives

10
provision is based on the programme needs and donor’s commitment (for EP&R activities as
indicated is up to three months). Extension depends on their performance, needs
assessments, donor commitment and programme timeframe. The amount and period of
provision will then be subject to change whilst EP&R partners are coordinating the
harmonization of this type support.
- CCM rate paid for trainings and work incentives – consulting rate with the partners
working in the area
- Some partners don’t pay incentives for trainings (incentive in form of lunch or
transport is provided)
- Be flexible, depending on the context, negotiate with the community on the price

3.2.3. CHPs Trainings

 Aprox 2 days of training

 With existing CHPs 1 day of refreshing trainings
 After 3-4 weeks (depending on the length of the intervention) follow up with
refreshing training
 Including IEC materials during the trainings, ensure CHPs know how to use them
(WASH Cluster Google Drive folder)
 Using videos for trainings (2 videos developed by PAH, other if available)
 Training CHPs on CHPs being an example (ex. CHPs constructing latrines, having
pits in their HH)

3.2.4. CHPs Activities / Community campaigns (campaigns, HH visits, MHE)

 HH visits
 During cholera the whole intervention period
 Minimum 2 weeks, maximum 2 months
 Clean up campaigns – solid waste management, cleaning garbage in markets and
HH level
 safe defecation campaigns – promotion of CAT method, use of latrines when
applicable

3.4. Monitoring system – monitoring CHPs performance, beneficiaries data collection,

etc.

Objectives:

• To know about key issues, problems and concerns of the volunteers and provide them
with adequate technical support and advice.
• To ensure the volunteers are still on track and maintaining the knowledge and
information they got during the training and communicate it to others effectively
• Follow-up the use of monitoring forms
• To remind the volunteers about their roles and responsibilities
• To use the result for exit points and referral of CHPs performing well in the volunteer
work

What should we monitor?

• Methods which volunteers is using to promote safe hygiene and sanitation practices
(e.g.: house hold visit, training sessions, awareness raising sessions, etc)
• Level of their knowledge and the messages that they are disseminating
• Use of monitoring form
• Number of beneficiaries they are covering.
• Motivation of the CHPs

3.5. Mainstreaming: Protection, Gender, GBV

 Select both male and female

 If possible focus more on female CHPs, since they are the one responsible for hygiene
behaviours around the households
 Consider including disabled for CHPs, discuss type of activities the person can do based
on their limitations
 Assess capacity of the person
 HP in one public space, like market

General response - Household and shared -Clear selection criteria for sample latrines (most vulnerable, at CHPs HH)
IDPs, cholera, other latrines -Sanitation is not the main focus of the interventions but basic promotion
on latrine construction can be promoted.
-All community have access to digging tools (tools handed over the local
authorities for open community use).
-HH or shared latrines are more effective on HH than communal (cleaning,
maintenance, etc.)
-Consider depending on the context
-Use local resources and materials to construct latrines
-Providing digging tools and training on HH latrine construction with local
materials
-Latrine digging tools:
o Metal bucket
oSpade
oOther?
-Providing buckets for hand washing as incentives (Oxfam approach)
