CCCM Cluster South Sudan Operations Update // 19 February 2014
The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster was activated in South Sudan with the objective of facilitating the provision of services to displaced populations that have gathered in camp-like settings. IOM and UNHCR are co-leading the cluster in coordination with ACTED, the cluster NGO co-lead. CCCM actors are supporting overall coordination of humanitarian services in IDP sites, providing information management services including registration, and facilitating site expansion/relocation efforts to improve living conditions for IDPs and avoid over-congestion. The CCCM Cluster supports the overall coordination of humanitarian services in IDP sites, taking a holistic rights-based approach in meeting the needs of the site population. Specific activities undertaken by the CCCM Cluster in South Sudan include coordination of service delivery within IDP sites, site planning, site setup and improvement, and IDP registration. As CCCM is a newly formed cluster in South Sudan, the coordination team is working to ensure that the roles and responsibilities of various CCCM stakeholders are clearly defined to ensure a more effective delivery of interventions.
1 CCCM Cluster ▼ Opera ons Update – 19 February 2014
Humanitarian Hubs are currently operational in Bor and Awerial
Contingency planning for the rainy season is underway
DTM rollout in Unity, Upper Nile, Central Equatoria & Lakes states
Preparations are being made for expansion of UN House PoC area
The overall objective of the CCCM Cluster is to coordinate and monitor the targeted and effective delivery of sector-specific services in displacement sites, thereby ensuring that basic humanitarian living conditions are maintained for IDPs, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so.
SITUATION OVERVIEW There are an estimated 723,900 people displaced within South Sudan, 74,800 of which continue to seek shelter in UN-MISS Protection of Civilians (PoC) areas (OCHA 11 Feb). CCCM partners have reached over 220,000 IDPs (CCCM Cluster 13 Feb), establishing site management and coordination structures to facilitate the delivery of assistance and the immediate identification of gaps.
At present, CCCM structures have been established at the state level in all ten states. CCCM State Focal Point Contact Details:

Site management and county-level coordination is ongoing in eight counties. Partners have committed to assuming the role of CCCM County Focal Point for an additional 7 counties once the security situations allow for access. Humanitarian access to sites outside of PoC areas, especially in Jonglei and Unity states, remains limited, hampering the cluster's ability to reach pockets of IDPs. CCCM partners are also facing difficulties with regards to coverage and ensuring that aid supplies can reach displacement sites in a timely manner. Partners are working on contingency planning for the coming rainy season. Over-congestion continues to be a key concern in UNMISS PoC areas throughout the affected states. CCCM partners are working closely with UNMISS and humanitarian partners to identify options to address this issue.
In addition, increased violence within the PoC areas due to community friction, space issues and criminality has been reported. CCCM partners are working with UNMISS to identify ways that UNPOL can assist reducing the risk of violence in these areas. The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has been rolled out in Central Equatoria, Unity, Upper Nile and Lakes states to identify essential gaps in service provision in these areas. The DTM is the CCCM Cluster’s monitoring tool to help partners measure service delivery progress and identify key gaps and needs. Humanitarian Hubs: The CCCM Cluster is responsible for setting up humanitarian hubs in key locations, particularly in areas where movements have been restricted due to ongoing insecurity. As a result of these security constraints, the majority of aid workers are currently staying in UNMISS bases while responding to the critical needs of IDPs, particularly in Bor, Bentiu and Malakal. With the arrival of additional peacekeeping troops and returning UNMISS staff, the logistic capacity of UNMISS is overstretched, limiting their ability to accommodate additional humanitarian partners. As humanitarian partners are scaling-up response in accessible areas, there is a need to set up well-equipped humanitarian hubs for accommodation and office space in priority areas including Bor, Bentiu, Malakal, Awerial and Juba. As of 14 February, humanitarian hubs are operational in Awerial and Bor. Site planners were deployed to Bentiu and Malakal to begin the set-up of hubs in these locations. Tongping, Juba, Central Equatoria State Water supply for IDPs in the Tongping PoC area
currently stands at 15.6 litres per person per day meeting the Sphere standard, however there is currently one latrine for every 113 persons, which is significantly below the Sphere standard.
Community mobilization to improve health and
hygiene practices, and reduce the spread of diseases, is ongoing. Health monitoring systems are in place to improve overall prevention and response efforts for Health and WASH.
8,551 families (79.68% of families registered in the site)
received shelter materials and other NFIs in a four-day distribution exercise.
UN House (Juba 3), Juba, Central Equatoria State Water supply for IDPs in the UN House PoC area
currently stands at 19.7 litres per person per day, exceeding the Sphere standard of 15 litres per person
per day. There is currently one latrine for every 48 persons, which is within Sphere emergency standards (one latrine per 50 persons) but below the ideal standard of one latrine for every 20 persons.
Site preparation for the expansion area (PoC 3) is
ongoing. The CCCM Cluster is working with all clusters to provide their inputs to ensure that site set-up is in line with cluster-specific standards. 15,000 square meters of land has been cleared, and a site planner together with engineers have obtained finalized boundary points for the site.
The reserved contingency site PoC 2 has now become
fully functional with the reception of 354 persons in 84 households arriving from Bentiu. This space located on the south side within the UNMISS base is designed to accommodate 4,500 persons.
Community leadership structures are in place in both
Tomping and UN House, which facilitates the representation of different groups of the IDP population and their involvement in planning and decision-making. However, the community leadership structure needs further review/fine-tuning to ensure that all segments of the population – including women, minority groups, and other persons with special needs – are adequately represented and the risk of marginalization is limited.
A total of 392 household interviews have been
conducted in the UN House PoC for a rapid shelter assessment factsheet. The interviews were conducted by an NGO partner on behalf of the Shelter Cluster.
The vast majority of IDP households (79%) indicated that they are planning to relocate outside of Juba Town, mostly to neighboring countries. Half of the surveyed IDP households reported that the roof of their house was partly damaged or destroyed. Iron sheets are the most common material used for roofing. One-third of the surveyed households reported that the roof of their homes was fully made of iron sheets, and another third reported that they used iron sheets combined with other materials. While a large proportion of households reported owning their home (87%), 55% of households report having no official tenure documentation. Furthermore, reports of secondary occupations were high, with 18% of households reporting that their houses were occupied by others.
Displacement Sites Around Juba Populations in displacement sites outside of the Juba
PoC areas appear stable. The cluster will continue to monitor conditions and needs in these sites.
3 CCCM Cluster ▼ Opera ons Update – 19 February 2014
Nimule, Eastern Equatoria The CCCM State Focal Point is following up closely
with OCHA and UNMISS on the issue of a large, highly mobile group of IDPs in the area.
Agencies and NGOs active in Nimule are based mainly
in Juba. As such, CCCM coordination mechanism for the state is being rolled out at the Juba-level to map a way forward and identify appropriate interventions.
CCCM is working closely with partners in response to
local government’s plans for IDP relocation . Consultations are ongoing with NGOs, authorities, host community and IDPs in order identify a solution that is acceptable for all relevant stakeholders, including IDPs and host communities.
Movement of the IDP population outside Nimule town
toward the new location, Melidjo, has resulted in the creation of a new, self-settled site.
Bor, Jonglei State Health and WASH continue to be the main issues
inside the PoC. In addition, access to charcoal/firewood is a challenge for IDPs who cannot leave the base. CCCM actors are liaising with the Food Security and Livelihoods Cluster to address this.
Access to Bor from the Juba-Bor road is essential to
enable the resumption of activities in Bor. The road is currently closed to UN civilian staff, however efforts are being made in conjunction with UNDSS to reopen the road as soon as possible.
Bentiu, Unity State IDPs are reported to be leaving the PoC area. A
restructuring of the PoC is ongoing to maximize space for IDPs who remain in the base and are unable to return to their areas of residence.
The CCCM Cluster is closely coordinating with the
Shelter and NFI Cluster on the prepositioning of NFIs for planned distribution in the PoC area.
Malakal, Upper Nile State Contingency planning is underway for the rainy season.
UNMISS and CCCM are engaged in bilateral discussions regarding the possibility of a new PoC site, as well as the constraints and limitations.
DTM was rolled out in Malakal town, of the eleven
collective centers were originally identified across Malakal town. Upon verification it was identified that: two sites were no longer in existence, as IDPs had moved out; at four of the sites the population is
observed to be in transit, either to Melut or Rom, waiting for trucks organized by the local authorities; one site is a hospital (Malakal Teaching Hospital); one center is made up of highly mobile individuals shuttling between Wau Shilluk, their residence and Malakal town; IDPs in the remaining three centres report intentions to return to their place of residence once the security situation permits.
Awerial (Minkaman), Jonglei State Registration of IDPs resumed in Awerial on 7 February
and should be finalized by 18 February. IDPs are currently settled on private land that will be
cultivated by the local communities at the start of the rainy season. The government has identified new sites for the IDPs. Indicators show that IDPs will remain in Awerial through the rainy season. CCCM partners are advocating that the appropriate facilities need to be put in place, including access roads, to ensure that humanitarian services can be provided in the new locations; these need to be put in place prior to the relocation of the IDPs.
An inter-sectorial assessment took place on several
islands in the Nile across Awerial County. It was not possible to assess the exact number of IDPs (more than 1,000 shelters were counted), but it is clear that the situation is dire. Given the lack of boats available within the humanitarian community in Awerial, there is almost no access to the islands and the populations receive little to no support from humanitarian actors. These islands will be submerged during the rainy season. There is a need for further assessments to identify how the humanitarian community can respond.
Twic, Warrap State CCCM emergency field training was carried out for
the benefit of all interested partners. The CCCM State Focal Point is in place and operations have begun.
IDPs within Twic County are voluntarily consolidating
in two displacement sites. CCCM partners are working to ensure there is appropriate site planning/preparation to accommodate the influx of IDPs.
Site preparation structures are in place in all sites. Melut County, Upper Nile State An Initial Rapid Needs Assessment (IRNA) was
conducted in Dethoma, Melut County, on 31 January. Local authorities have established an ad-hoc camp in Dethoma for IDPs fleeing from Baliet County, Upper Nile State. The assessment team found an estimated 5-6,000 IDPs currently at the site, and recommended a multi-sector emergency response as soon as possible.
