Humanitarian Action for Children 2021

In 2022 UNICEF will commence the transition to the voucher water provision programme in the Juba IDP camps as part of the transition to more durable and sustainable solutions in those locations. As a good practice identified in 2021, UNICEF will scale up the installation of climate/flood resilient facilities to provide more long- lasting water and sanitation services and to reduce the need for annual repairs of water points and latrine facilities. UNICEF is also commencing on multiple programmes for installing water points in schools and nutrition/health sites to build more resilient communities. Through cluster leadership at the national and state levels UNICEF intends to continue the WASH severity classification exercise to prioritize humanitarian needs and transition some areas toward sector coordination - transitioning humanitarian planning to development planning where appropriate. UNICEF and the WASH Cluster strategic advisory group with validation of the broader cluster formalized a co- coordination role with UNICEF double-hatting staff members at the state level to improve and streamline coordination moving forward. UNICEF and the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation will co-lead new WASH TWGS at national and state level to coordinate sector partners. Development of a strong local supply chain to enable the flow of spare parts for sustainable operations and maintenance of improved water sources will be very important to the WASH sector. In 2022, UNICEF will therefore explore opportunities for the development of supply chains for the local market including the use of voucher systems. 2022 Programme Targets - WASH • . 700,000 people accessing a sufficient quantity of safe water for drinking and domestic needs 223,000 people use safe and appropriate sanitation facilities.
