The overall goal of this project is to strengthen interventions in the health sector in three selected locations of South Sudan = Renk, Leer and Awail. The submitted project is part of a much wider multisectoral program of the implementing partner of the applicant. The project has as its ambition to significantly reduce disease and mortality among groups at risk from conflict, internally displaced people and weakened urban host communities in S. Sudan. A specific emphasis will be placed on women and children, neglected older populations, handicapped and pregnant and nursing women. The provision of long- term supplies of medicine will strengthen the basic health security and prevention of the occurrence of epidemics. The dramatic humanitarian crisis and the high number of needy people creates the need to focus on increasing the capacity of health workers and the provision of critical expert training. Part of this project is also the support of a number of malnutrition centres. We will support the operations of these centres providing health and malnutrition services, which currently are in 28 locations in the regions of Aweil, Leer Mayendit and Renk. According to the need we will initiate mobile service capacity wherever the need emerges and/or wherever the distance from the centre for the population groups is more than 2 hours. The number of recipients of support within this project is projected at nearly 65 000 people.
