Overall <strong>BSF</strong> Objective:<br />

The overall objective of the <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> of the Government of Southern Sudan (<strong>BSF</strong>)<br />

is to increase the coverage of, access to and use by the population of Southern Sudan – in<br />

particular vulnerable groups of female members of the households, IDPs and refugees – of<br />

basic services in Primary Education, Primary Health, and Water & Sanitation, in a sustainable<br />

way. It therefore aims to strengthen the capacity of communities and the GoSS (central, state<br />

and county level) to plan, monitor and co-ordinate this service delivery through non-state<br />

actors. This purpose is consistent with <strong>BSF</strong>’s overall goal, namely GoSS’s poverty reduction<br />

agenda within the six year interim period of the CPA (January 2005 – July 2011).<br />

<strong>BSF</strong>’s main expected results are the establishment of operational primary schools, primary<br />

health clinics, drinking water points and latrines in parallel to capacity building, including<br />

training of teachers and health professionals and management training of local beneficiary<br />

groups, county authorities and the Steering Committee.<br />

4. Project Summary:<br />

Maximum 0.5 pages.<br />

Include information on where, what and how, with targets, including training targets<br />

and emphasis on working with government and/or civil society and sustainability.<br />

The overall goal of the project is to improve the health status of residents of Duk County. <strong>IRD</strong><br />

believes it can best contribute to this goal by improving the availability of, access to, and<br />

quality of primary health care and water and sanitation services over an 18 month period. To<br />

achieve this, <strong>IRD</strong> and its partner the John Dau Foundation (JDF) will continue to work closely<br />

with the payam, county and state health and water representatives and local authorities<br />

building on lessons learned during the current <strong>BSF</strong>-funded project, Community Health and<br />

Education <strong>Services</strong> for Southern Sudan (CHESS). The team will bring the Duk Lost Boys’<br />

Clinic (DLBC) in Duk Payuel up to the <strong>Basic</strong> Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care<br />

Primary Health Care Center (BEmONCPHCC) level through rehabilitation, construction and<br />

equipment as outlined in the BPHS. As part of this, <strong>IRD</strong> will work with DLBC to improve the<br />

cold chain for vaccinations and outreach capabilities to improve vaccination and Vitamin A<br />

coverage to 40 percent. The project will equip three Primary Health Care Units (PHCU) in<br />

Mareng, Pakam and Pajut and construct one PHCU in Pagaak to meet the BPHS standard.<br />

36 people or 40 percent of county health workers (CHW) and Traditional Birth Attendants<br />

(TBA) will be trained and certified by the Ministry of Health (MoH) trainers. The team will work<br />

with the four Boma Health Committees (BHCs) formed under CHESS and train an additional<br />

13 BHCs linked to other county PHCUs. <strong>IRD</strong> will improve awareness of common health<br />

issues and increase demand for services through 16 health and hygiene campaigns (two per<br />

payam) while training 16 Alternative Education Systems (AES) instructors on health and<br />

hygiene issues. Throughout the project, <strong>IRD</strong> will strengthen the capacity of the County Health<br />

Department (CHD) and local authorities in health service delivery. The CHD take part in<br />

assessments, monitoring and planning for health service delivery; and linking the CHD to<br />

local authorities and communities through quarterly payam-based meetings. At the payam,<br />

county and state levels, <strong>IRD</strong> will improve associated water and sanitation services by working<br />

with 15 Village Water Committees (VWC) formed under CHESS and form an additional 15<br />

linked to the boreholes rehabilitated near PHCUs. The VWCs will each elect one person to be<br />

trained as a pump mechanic. In collaboration with the state level water authorities and parts<br />

distributors, the project will establish a supply chain and stock of spare parts.<br />

5. Project Objective:<br />

Maximum 0.25 pages.<br />

Objective must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound (SMART)<br />

The objective of the project is to improve the availability of, access to, and quality of primary<br />

health care and associated water and sanitation services in Duk County during an 18- month<br />

period. Specifically, <strong>IRD</strong> will continue to develop relationships formed under CHESS at the<br />

state, county, and payam levels to improve primary health care service delivery and<br />

strengthen health personnel capacity, while improving infrastructure necessary for service<br />

provision and increasing community awareness on basic health issues. The project will<br />

support the CHD in carrying out its function in ensuring the above are carried out according to<br />

the BPHS. At the payam, county and state levels, the project will improve associated water<br />

and sanitation services through borehole rehabilitation and training of VWCs and pump<br />

mechanics with a focus on water quality and appropriate supervision.<br />

6. Justification: Maximum 40 pts<br />

Maximum 2 pages, Category 2:<br />

6.1 Relevance of the project to <strong>BSF</strong>’s overall objectives.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> will support <strong>BSF</strong>’s objective through the improved coverage of, access to and use of<br />

basic primary health and associated water and sanitation services in Duk County, Jonglei<br />

State. This is an essential part of the county’s rebuilding of community and basic support<br />

services. The project will engage local authorities, and, through project design,<br />

implementation, monitoring and evaluation, build their capacity to deliver sustainable services.<br />

With a focus on sustainability, the project will continue to support the function of the county,<br />

CHD and communities in providing the continuation of basic services currently supported by<br />

<strong>BSF</strong> in Duk to the most vulnerable groups. The project will link these sectors and services<br />

through community and local authority involvement to improve overall health status.<br />

6.2 What GoSS sector priorities as described in the application guidelines will the<br />

project address?<br />

In designing the proposed project, <strong>IRD</strong> collaborated with representatives from the Duk County<br />

Commissioner’s Office, the CHD, Jonglei State MoH office in Bor, Ministry of Water<br />

Resources and Irrigation, and other local stakeholders. Project activities in health and water<br />

and sanitation were designed to meet both community and GoSS priorities, while building on<br />

lessons from implementation of the CHESS project. Of the targets identified as supported by<br />

the <strong>BSF</strong>-<strong>IA</strong> and GoSS in the health sector, this project will address the continued provision of<br />

the BPHS within Duk County, supported by <strong>BSF</strong> under CHESS, including support for inservice<br />

and formal trainings of health care workers, and support for the MoH in strengthening<br />

the CHD and community capacities to supervise and manage health services. The project will<br />

raise community awareness of basic health issues through hygiene campaigns and increase<br />

demand for health services, while strengthening the performance and involvement of BHCs,<br />

the CHD, and other traditional governance structures including chiefs and local leaders. As<br />

Jonglei state is one of the four states with a Lead Agent under the Umbrella Program for<br />

Health Systems Development (UPHSD), <strong>IRD</strong> will continue to support the provision of health<br />

services in Duk with UPHSD support and cooperation. All health related activities have been<br />

designed to cover 10 of the 13 MoH-identified high-level impact indicators. Planned health<br />

activities will align with the Health Policy for the Government of Southern Sudan 2006-2011<br />

and policy statements on community participation, primary healthcare and implementation of<br />

basic service package, facility infrastructure development, pharmaceuticals and medical<br />

supplies, institutional and human resource development, and coordination.<br />

The associated water and sanitation activities, while linked to health facility improvements,<br />

are also designed to meet priorities of the GoSS Infrastructure sector. <strong>IRD</strong>’s project will<br />

provide clean water to the PHCUs and surrounding communities through the rehabilitation of<br />

15 boreholes. <strong>IRD</strong>, in close coordination with the MWRI and the Jonglei State Directorate, will<br />

plan and report on water quality testing for these sites. <strong>IRD</strong> will provide training consistent<br />

with GoSS policy on rural hygiene and sanitation, and water management to 30 VWCs (15<br />

already organized under CHESS project). <strong>IRD</strong> will train 30 pump mechanics with a target of<br />

30 percent female. As Duk does not currently have a county water department, <strong>IRD</strong> will work<br />

closely with the local authorities to establish systems and procedures and create a supply of<br />

county spare parts. <strong>IRD</strong> will construct one PHCU (Pagaak) and one institutional latrine block.<br />

6.3 What underserved / priority counties as identified by GoSS and described in the<br />

application guidelines are targeted?<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> will continue to support health and water and sanitation services in underserved Duk<br />

County. The county continues to experience population growth from returning war-displaced<br />

populations and from neighboring counties. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the April<br />

elections, the movement of people, the reduction of services, and possibly <strong>IRD</strong>’s current <strong>BSF</strong>funded<br />

CHESS project, even more individuals have been accessing services in Duk,<br />

particularly at the DLBC whose monthly average consultations jumped from 1,210 in January<br />

to 2,457 in March 2010. <strong>IRD</strong> is one of the only INGOs operating in Duk County; while Catholic<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 3


Relief <strong>Services</strong> has provided funds through local NGO Sudan Medical Care (SMC) to cover<br />

the salaries of health personnel, but is not providing direct support in Duk at present.<br />

6.4 The different target groups and beneficiaries of the project and the specific needs<br />

and constraints of these groups.<br />

Project activities will target all eight payams including Mareng, the Duk County headquarters.<br />

Direct beneficiaries of trainings and direct outreach services are estimated to be 7,500. Under<br />

the program approximately 10,000 children under 5 and 31,000 women of reproductive age<br />

will benefit directly from improved health care services. Additional targeted beneficiaries will<br />

include the elderly, returnees, IDPs, health care service providers, county health teams, local<br />

government authorities, and community workers. Through the project interventions all 65,588 1<br />

Duk County residents will benefit indirectly from improved services and health education and<br />

hygiene campaigns, as well as EPI interventions which will be conducted in all eight payams.<br />

According to the JDF, the MoH, and the County Commissioner, communicable diseases such<br />

as malaria, acute upper respiratory infections, acute watery diarrhea, anemia, malnutrition,<br />

measles and mumps, cases of guinea worm, and imported cases of Kala-zar (leshmaniasis)<br />

remain a threat to children and families. There are also many cases of pelvic inflammatory<br />

disease and urinary tract infections, indicating that sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are<br />

common. HIV/AIDS has made an appearance among returnees and outbreaks of cholera and<br />

polio were identified at the DLBC. Duk County has a high level of war-displaced returns, and<br />

is vulnerable due to its lack of health, water and sanitation services, and infrastructure. State<br />

and County government understand the needs, and are motivated to progress. The County<br />

Commissioner and State level MoH officials cite training for BHCs, EPI coverage, and<br />

rehabilitation of boreholes and trained mechanics as the most pressing needs in the county.<br />

Regular support of the PHCCs and PHCUs has been intermittent over the last several<br />

decades however some health care workers have continued on a voluntary basis. SMC<br />

supports 5 PHCUs and 1 PHCC through CRS support, however, this is primarily for salaries<br />

and we are not aware of any trainings taking place. SMC has begun rehabilitation of the nonfunctioning<br />

PHCC in Poktab in March of this year. In the county there is at present no<br />

functional PHCC as per BPSH standards, only the aforementioned non-functional PHCC in<br />

Poktab and the JDF DLBC that currently surpasses the BPSH criteria for a PHCU, but falls<br />

short of meeting the standards specified for PHCCs. ASCOM also runs a hospital in Padiet,<br />

which is the next level of referral for the DLBC. There are 15 PHCUs; and outside of the three<br />

constructed by <strong>IRD</strong> under CHESS, all facilities are little more than tukuls and face severe<br />

shortages of health supplies, and an unreliable supply chain of medicines with no cold chain.<br />

6.5 The extent to which women and girls are specifically targeted.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> and JDF are committed to ensuring the inclusion of women and girls in all project<br />

activities. The project’s health component will address general health problems and include<br />

curative, preventive and promotional services which will target children under 5 and women of<br />

reproductive age. The project will specifically focus on child immunization, reproductive<br />

health, ANC, nutrition, and HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention. <strong>Services</strong> will be brought<br />

closer to women and children through the increased number of trained health providers,<br />

community health campaigns, vaccination, Vitamin A and de-worming campaigns, and<br />

provision of medicines and health supplies, as well as the construction of a PHCU. Also, JDF<br />

under CHESS, has begun a youth theatre group to raise HIV awareness and has trained 10<br />

girl participants who will continue activity under the proposed project. Further, <strong>IRD</strong> has trained<br />

16 AES teachers (2 female) who will provide health and hygiene education to adult students,<br />

whose enrolment rate is 62 percent female under CHESS. <strong>IRD</strong> will work to include women in<br />

the BHCs and VWCs and achieve a target of 30 percent female trained pump mechanics.<br />

This project will continue to include women and girls in community meetings with community<br />

member, local leaders, and paramount chiefs as it has under CHESS.<br />

7. Description of activities per result and sector: Maximum 5 pts<br />

Maximum 3 pages<br />

7.1 Include detailed description of each project output and the corresponding activities<br />

Under the proposed project <strong>IRD</strong> will focus on the health and water and sanitation sectors.<br />

Results in primary health care will include structural, equipment and material outputs. <strong>IRD</strong> will<br />

emphasize bringing health facilities up to the BPHS standard with close involvement of the<br />

CHD. <strong>IRD</strong> will work with JDF to bring the DLBC in Duk Payuel up to the BEmONCPHCC level<br />

through rehabilitation, construction, staffing and equipment needs. As the DLBC has<br />

undergone several improvements under CHESS, <strong>IRD</strong> will only need to provide an inpatient/observation<br />

area with 10 beds, separate maternity ward, minor surgical theatre area,<br />

climate controlled pharmacy area, improved 24 hr electrical supply and expanded staff<br />

housing. <strong>IRD</strong> will provide water harvesting and storage for the 3 PHCUs constructed under<br />

CHESS and construct one PHCU in Pagaak including an institutional latrine block.<br />

Equipment for the 4 PHCUs will be provided by the project and in collaboration with UNICEF.<br />

As part of this, <strong>IRD</strong> will work with JDF to expand and improve the cold chain to increase<br />

vaccination and Vitamin A coverage to 40 percent. The JDF has procured the necessary<br />

equipment including solar panels, medicine and lab test refrigeration equipment at the DLBC.<br />

The project will assist in maintaining the cold chain though training of staff and local<br />

authorities, while collaborating with UNICEF and GoSS for a sustained supply of medicines.<br />

The strengthened relationship between the local CHD, State and Juba level MoH, and<br />

UNICEF will work to avoid stock outages and generally increase the availability of MMR,<br />

BCG, DPT, Tetanus, OPV (polio) and other vaccines. To improve transportation, the project<br />

will also provide JDF with more cold boxes and motor bikes. Essential pharmaceuticals and<br />

IEC materials will be provided for the CHD, DLBC and 4 PHCUs. JDF will receive monthly<br />

funding to cover the cost of additional required pharmaceuticals not provided by the MoH.<br />

Results in primary health care training will include outputs involving the healthcare staff at the<br />

DLBC, CHWs, VCWs, AES instructors, the CHD and local authorities, as well as local<br />

communities. Training for health care service providers will include refresher/on-the-job<br />

training for the 9 staff at the DLBC covering topic areas for a BEmONCPHCC level facility.<br />

The project will support the DLBC with provision of salaries for all staff. As part of the EPI<br />

services mentioned above, <strong>IRD</strong> will support the DLBC in expanding the three person<br />

inoculators’ team and emphasize the use of child health cards. <strong>IRD</strong> will support the CHD in<br />

providing MoH CHW certification training for 40 percent (approx 27) of untrained CHWs and<br />

TBAs. The training will take place in Duk and participants will be provided with a stipend,<br />

living arrangements and food. Through an arrangement with the MoH in Bor instructors will be<br />

seconded for the 9-month training in Duk. The CHWs trained under the project will return to<br />

their PHCU post and receive top up of salary if not receiving this through the MoH. Selection<br />

criteria for training will be based on a community assessment, and take into account the<br />

amount of training to date, the recommendation of community members, and the motivation to<br />

work. <strong>IRD</strong> will also emphasize training of BHCs and continue to work with the four BHCs<br />

formed under CHESS in Payuel, Mareng, Pajut and Pakam. <strong>IRD</strong> will re-establish and train an<br />

additional 13 BHCs linked to other county PHCUs. Member selection will be conducted in<br />

coordination with the CHD, local authorities and community leaders and seek to be a<br />

representative of the community and maintain a gender balance. Initial trainings will focus on<br />

basic health topics (per MoH curriculum) and relationship to project and PHCU activities.<br />

Members will be motivated to have ownership and involvement in community health activities.<br />

Their key functions will include health promotion, community mobilization for health education<br />

campaign activities, and active case finding and referral, as well as morbidity and mortality<br />

surveillance.<br />

BHCs will also be closely linked to the health and education campaigns conducted in each<br />

payam. <strong>IRD</strong> and the CHD will work to improve awareness of common health issues and<br />

increase demand for services through 16 health and hygiene campaigns (2 per payam<br />

conducted) and the training of 16 Adult Education System (AES) instructors on health and<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 5


hygiene issues for classroom discussion. AES instructors who were trained and currently<br />

working under CHESS will continue to receive stipends under the proposed project and<br />

receive trainings on health and hygiene similar to the training of the BHCs. AES instructors<br />

will be motivated to include these topics in classroom lessons and discussions. Throughout all<br />

of the above activities, <strong>IRD</strong> will strengthen capacity of the CHD and local authorities in health<br />

service delivery by involving personnel at every step. This will be accomplished by improving<br />

the capacity of the CHD through close supervision and training to assess, monitor and plan<br />

for health service delivery; and linking the CHD to local authorities and communities through<br />

quarterly and activity driven payam based meetings. <strong>IRD</strong> will more activiely involve the CHD<br />

in meetings with chiefs and community leaders as supported under CHESS, to ensure project<br />

ownership and sustainability. These meetings also serve as forums to discuss equitable<br />

distribution of basic services across the county particularly in the more marginalized<br />

communities.<br />

Results in drinking water and sanitation will include the outputs of borehole rehabilitation and<br />

water quality testing. Under the current CHESS project in Duk, <strong>IRD</strong> has worked closely with<br />

the local authorities to identify and prioritize boreholes which need general maintenance and<br />

rehabilitation. <strong>IRD</strong> has identified 15 additional boreholes which are linked to or adjacent to the<br />

11 PHCUs and the PHCC which have not been part of CHESS rehabilitation. <strong>IRD</strong> will work<br />

with a local contracting group to assess the required needs at each site and produce a report<br />

for the MWRI. Water quality testing will be performed at each site and findings will be shared<br />

with the MWRI at state and Juba levels.<br />

Similarly, results in training water point committees will coincide with the above outputs and<br />

include training of VWCs, pump mechanics and local authorities. <strong>IRD</strong> will continue to work<br />

with the 15 VWCs formed under CHESS and form and train an additional 15 which will be<br />

linked to the 15 boreholes rehabilitated near PHCUs and PHCCs. VCWs will be trained in<br />

rural hygiene and sanitation issues, water management and community participation and<br />

ownership concepts. VWCs will nominate one member to be trained in basic maintenance<br />

and handling of the boreholes, for a total of 30. These mechanics will work in tandem with<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> capacity building at the PHCUs/PHCCs and they are the custodians of spare parts and<br />

equipment for borehole maintenance. <strong>IRD</strong> has a container which held medical supplies and<br />

shoes which can now be handed over to the county and for use as a warehouse for spare<br />

parts for quick response on boreholes to reduce community migration to other villages and<br />

stress on singular boreholes that leads to failure. <strong>IRD</strong> will work with County, payam and the<br />

WPC to ensure that refresher training and M&E is carried out regularly. <strong>IRD</strong> will also work<br />

closely with the state level water authorities, parts distributors, and UNICEF to establish a<br />

supply chain and stock of spare parts.<br />

Further, results in training in sanitation and provision of institutional latrines will be <strong>IRD</strong><br />

outputs for the project. <strong>IRD</strong> will construct one institutional latrine in Pagaak when constructing<br />

the PHCU. The latrine block will have one male and one female latrine, one patient washing<br />

area and one staff latrine. <strong>IRD</strong> will provide training in rural health and hygiene to the VWS,<br />

VWCs, and AES instructors. The health and hygiene campaigns in each payam will also<br />

involve these groups in disseminating messages. For more information please see Annex 4<br />

for the Training Table.<br />

7.2 Specify the role of each partner per output, if applicable, and describe the added<br />

value of each member of the proposed consortium.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong>’s role is to lead and ensure the successful implementation of project activities. <strong>IRD</strong> will<br />

work closely with the CHD, local authorities and community groups to achieve all project<br />

outputs. <strong>IRD</strong> has been operating in Duk County since 2009 and in South Sudan since 2004.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> has projects in Upper Nile, Warrap and states with funding from UNCHR, NDI, BPRM<br />

and SRF. <strong>IRD</strong> will provide a sub-grant to JDF to ensure continuation of health services at the<br />

DLBC and the improvement of EPI services as in January 2010, DLBC was designated as<br />

County focal point for EPI by the MoH. JDF is committed to supporting the DLBC until it can<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 6


e 100 percent supported by the MoH. <strong>IRD</strong> is committed to working with the JDF to help the<br />

DLBC to become a fully functional BEmONPHCC. As it has been one of the only functioning<br />

health facilities in the area – even receiving hundreds of patients each month from<br />

neighboring counties – <strong>IRD</strong> believes it can help JDF to better support the DLBC in delivering<br />

its services at the full BPHS level, and strengthen its link to the MoH at the county and state<br />

levels. JDF has been operating in Duk since 2005 and continues to receive financial and<br />

technical assistance from a Syracuse, New York based Committee and Board of Directors<br />

consisting of US doctors. Also, they receive several visits a year from visiting international<br />

medical professionals and students, which enhances in-service training and best practices.<br />

8. Methodology: Maximum 35 pts<br />

Maximum 3 pages<br />

8.1 Method of implementation, reasons for proposed methodology and whether the<br />

project is building on previous interventions and lessons learned (<strong>BSF</strong> and other).<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> has been implementing CHESS under <strong>BSF</strong> funding since January 2009. <strong>IRD</strong> presents<br />

the proposed methodology through evaluation of lessons learned, collaborations with local<br />

government officials, meetings with other relevant stakeholders and Mott MacDonald<br />

Monitoring visits. <strong>IRD</strong> will focus primarily on the health sector and contribute to associated<br />

water and sanitation service needs. <strong>IRD</strong> believes that limiting its focus to these two sectors<br />

will strengthen its impact in the relatively short term of the <strong>BSF</strong>-<strong>IA</strong> timeline of 18 months.<br />

The team will work closely with the CHD and local authorities to provide continued support to<br />

the CHD. <strong>IRD</strong> constructed three PHCUs under CHESS which cannot be handed over to<br />

county MoH until the County is able to support them. The proposed project will continue to<br />

support the CHD in managing these PHCUs through close supervision, equipment provision<br />

and water storage areas. <strong>IRD</strong> will construct one PHCU under the proposed project in Pagaak.<br />

The Pagaak PHCU was deemed a priority location in March 2009 but due to insecurity in the<br />

area in the fall of 2009, the Commissioner, CHD and local authorities decided this could not<br />

be completed under the timeframe of CHESS. In meetings for project design for the <strong>BSF</strong>-<strong>IA</strong><br />

project, all stakeholders have once again made this PHCU a priority. Further, <strong>IRD</strong> will provide<br />

increased oversight while working with JDF to assist the DLBC to achieve the BEPHCC<br />

standard according to the BPHS guidelines. The DLBC is classified as a PHCC but has not<br />

quite reached the BPHS definition of a PHCC. Investment in the clinic is important to the<br />

health status of the entire county and accordingly, further investment in its staff and facility are<br />

key to improving the quality of care available in the county. JDF will continue to implement<br />

EPI activities and the project will work closely with them to increase their capacity in delivering<br />

this much-needed service for the entire county. <strong>IRD</strong> will continue to focus refresher trainings<br />

for DLBC staff and oversight on specific areas identified by a <strong>BSF</strong> health consultant including:<br />

out-patient and consultations related to the PHCC appropriate package of services; nutrition<br />

counseling; use of child health cards; in-patient observation areas and maternity rooms;<br />

proper medicines storage; EPI oversight and proper planning; referral strengthening; general<br />

hygiene of staff and facility; medical waste management; TB patient handling; and HIV/AIDS.<br />

The lack of training of basic health personnel continues to be an issue in Duk County. <strong>IRD</strong><br />

has determined that a solid investment in long-term training of individuals appointed as CHWs<br />

and community TBAs to become MoH certified CHWs will go a long way in providing quality<br />

and sustainable basic health service delivery in the county. <strong>IRD</strong> will also continue to work with<br />

BHCs started under CHESS, and re-establish and train an additional 13 groups so that every<br />

PHCU in the county has a linked, active and trained BHC. <strong>IRD</strong> has also decided to continue<br />

to provide stipends to CHESS trained AES instructors as they have become an important<br />

communication channel within their respective communities. <strong>IRD</strong> established 8 AES centers<br />

under CHESS, and believes that providing this relatively small stipend to the 16 instructors<br />

would allow them to continue classes, providing a cost effective way to reach the community<br />

with concentrated basic health and hygiene messages. The enrollment rate increased to an<br />

average of 70 percent at each center in the first quarter of 2010, and as a result, a total of 940<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 7


(62 percent female) adults are attending class. Further, as <strong>IRD</strong> has established itself under<br />

CHESS as a partner for education activities in Duk, continuing with this activity will be<br />

important in preserving <strong>IRD</strong>’s reputation and trust with local authorities and the communities<br />

at large. By training these instructors, <strong>IRD</strong> can also ensure further dissemination of health and<br />

hygiene messages to adults and school activities, as well as raising awareness of important<br />

health issues and county health services available, thus allowing for further community<br />

participation in health activities, particularly in more rural areas.<br />

Through all health component activities, <strong>IRD</strong> will provide increased support to the CHD. <strong>IRD</strong><br />

believes that providing staff to work in close coordination with the current CHD representative,<br />

and currently the WHO representative, will help fill the gap in regular CHD presence in the<br />

county. An emphasis will be placed on drug management and links to Bor. <strong>IRD</strong> will also<br />

provide office materials to ensure administrative functioning of the office. The <strong>IRD</strong> project staff<br />

will assist that CHD representative in better assessing current health facility and staffing<br />

situation needs and provide improved planning to meet these needs. The project will ensure<br />

the CHD has proper human resources, equipment, etc., required to run the CHD properly.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> has been an active water and sanitation partner in Duk since January 2009. Under<br />

CHESS, <strong>IRD</strong> has worked closely with the local authorities to identify and prioritize boreholes<br />

which need general maintenance and rehabilitation. <strong>IRD</strong> has identified 15 boreholes which<br />

are linked to the PHCUs which have not been part of CHESS rehabilitation. Through VWC<br />

training, <strong>IRD</strong> noticed communities are motivated to be a part of water activities. Similarly, <strong>IRD</strong><br />

will continue to work with the 15 VWCs formed under CHESS and form and train an additional<br />

15 which will be linked to the 15 boreholes rehabilitated near PHCUs and PHCCs. VCWs will<br />

be trained in rural hygiene and sanitation issues, water management and community<br />

participation and ownership concepts. These VWCs are an important step in ensuring<br />

sustainability of water provision and community ownership, and this is strengthened with the<br />

added activities of training pump mechanics and providing a county spare parts warehouse.<br />

8.2 How will the proposed consortium function as a cohesive unit; describe lines of<br />

responsibility, supervision and management.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> will be responsible for overall project management. The <strong>IRD</strong> project manager will be<br />

responsible for monitoring all project activities, while ensuring adherence to the work plan,<br />

timeline and budget. The <strong>IRD</strong> team in Duk will be supported by <strong>IRD</strong> staff in Juba and Health<br />

Technical staff at <strong>IRD</strong> headquarters. The project will provide a subgrant to JDF for the<br />

operation of the DLBC and EPI activities. JDF is committed to supporting the DLBC until it<br />

can be 100 percent supported by the MoH. JDF will employ a project manager to serve as<br />

coordinator for DLBC activities. The JDF PM will be responsible for report writing and financial<br />

management of <strong>BSF</strong> funds received to support the DLBC. JDF will employ the full staff for a<br />

BEmONCPHCC standard in close coordination with <strong>IRD</strong> and the CHD. <strong>IRD</strong> will report to and<br />

work closely with the CHD to build their capacity to deliver services as defined by the BPHS.<br />

8.3 Team proposed for implementation. Present the full team and describe who will<br />

fulfill which position, where appropriate per project location. For each team<br />

member specify his/her responsibilities in this project and duration of input. Also<br />

specify whether the position will be filled by a national or international expert.<br />

(Attach the CV of the proposed <strong>BSF</strong> Grant Project Manager to this application).<br />

In Duk County <strong>IRD</strong> will have a solid team over the 18 months of the project. <strong>IRD</strong> will provide a<br />

dedicated Project manager (PM) to oversee all financial and technical elements of the project.<br />

The proposed PM (please see attached CV in Annex 3), an international expert, has over 10<br />

years of health project coordination and management experience. The PM will manage<br />

project staff, follow work plans and direct technical aspects of the project and report to the<br />

Country Director. The PM will oversee the work of the Sudanese Admin/Finance Officer<br />

(AFO) who is responsible for day to day accounting, collection of receipts and documentation,<br />

and financial reporting. The AFO will also report to the Finance Manager in Juba. The PM will<br />

also work closely with the PHC Supervisor (international) who will coordinate activities of<br />

health workers, such as the CHWs at the PHCUs and clinical officers at PHCCs, and works<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 8


with the CHD staff to improve Disease Surveillance, M&E, County Nursing, and Pharmacy<br />

Technician functions. The MCH Supervisor combines responsibilities of Maternal Health<br />

Coordinator of payam level and Nutrition Officer of the CHD, and does the same as PHC<br />

Supervisor, but specific towards TBAs and midwives. The MCH Superviser (Internationa) will<br />

work closely with JDF staff on nutrition project, ANC and Maternity Ward. The PM will also<br />

oversee the international Construction Manager/Water Sanitation Manager (CM/WSM) who<br />

will lead construction and rehabilitation activities, coordinate labor for activities, and be<br />

responsible for overall design per MoH guidelines. The CM/WSM will also work closely with<br />

the MWRI and local authorities to direct trainings for VWCs and pump mechanics and handle<br />

the water quality testing. The GoSS and Community Training Liaison (Sudanese) is<br />

responsible for community and local GoSS communication and mobilization in Duk County,<br />

and MoH and MWRI Directorate in Bor, and plans and coordinates meetings. A Sudanese<br />

Logistics Officer will work with the PM and CM/WSM for delivery of supplies and materials for<br />

distribution. The international JDF Project Manager (15 months) will also report to the PM and<br />

work closely with the PHC and MCH Supervisors and is responsible for coordination of project<br />

activities with the DLBC. All staff in Duk will report to and be supported by the team in Juba:<br />

the <strong>IRD</strong> Country Director, Finance Manager, Logistics Officer and Security Officer. The<br />

project will also receive technical assistance from an HQ based Technical Officer and an<br />

international Technical Consultant, to lead the assessments and base and end line surveys.<br />

8.4 Describe the partnership arrangements with government and other possible<br />

implementation partners (e.g. civil society) for effective project implementation.<br />

Since January 2009, <strong>IRD</strong> has worked closely with local government and traditional leaders<br />

throughout Duk’s eight payams. <strong>IRD</strong> has nurtured a strong relationship with the County<br />

Commissioner’s Office, the CHD and local authorities. These local stakeholders trust and<br />

recognize the results achieved under CHESS, while understanding that further <strong>BSF</strong> funding is<br />

an interdependent means for improved and sustainable service delivery. In planning for this<br />

project and future sustainability, project activities have been designed and prioritized in close<br />

coordination with the County Commissioner, local authorities, and state level MoH and MWRI<br />

representatives for Jonglei, and <strong>IRD</strong> has their commitment to support and maintain project<br />

investments. Under the proposed project, these established relationships will be enhanced<br />

through an increased mentoring approach in which <strong>IRD</strong> staff will provide close guidance for<br />

sector planning, implementation and monitoring. Project staff will be dedicated to providing<br />

service delivery actors with training and support to achieve even more tangible results, thus<br />

building community and local leader trust in service delivery maintenance and ownership.<br />

8.5 Describe the NGOs exit strategy (and therefore a government/civil society entrystrategy):<br />

Specify a training and capacity building plan to ensure that project<br />

activities be continued by government or civil society partners in a sustainable<br />

manner after project closure?<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> has attempted to realistically assess the complexity of the current situation of the health<br />

and water and sanitation systems of South Sudan, and particularly in Duk County, and<br />

understands that full sustainability can not be achieved within the life span of this project.<br />

Therefore, <strong>IRD</strong> will adhere to a strategy of step-by-step transition from fully dependant to a<br />

sustainable and functioning basic service delivery system from a long-term perspective. This<br />

project is still primarily focused on initial steps of the rebuilding of the health and water and<br />

sanitation system. <strong>IRD</strong> will invest in quality healthcare infrastructure, professional capacity of<br />

health and water and sanitation personnel, and introduction of managerial tools and systems.<br />

At the same time, local government, civil society and communities will gradually become more<br />

involved in management of these systems and accept more ownership. The next stage of the<br />

exit strategy in the long-term will be to hand over all managerial responsibilities to the CHD<br />

and persons in charge of health facilities, but with strong coordination, supervision and advice<br />

from <strong>IRD</strong>. However, the full exit cannot be possible until the government is able to finance the<br />

health system in full. Thus, <strong>IRD</strong> will use a mixed approach in its exit strategy based on<br />

gradual transition from a humanitarian aid project to one more focused on the provision of<br />

technical assistance. To ensure that the proposed initial stage of this exit strategy is<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 9


successful, <strong>IRD</strong> has developed a plan for capacity building of health workers and health<br />

administration of the county, which includes: 1) the development and introduction of job<br />

descriptions and standard operating procedures; 2) the introduction of treatment protocols<br />

through formal and in-service trainings; 3) the introduction of managerial tools, such as a drug<br />

management system; 4) training on the MoH health information system; and 5) trainings in<br />

basic logistic and financial accounting for the CHD team. Also key is the introduction of a<br />

strong monitoring system on overall activities and <strong>IRD</strong> will work closely with the CHD team<br />

and health care personnel to develop this system. <strong>IRD</strong> believes by the end of the project the<br />

basis for a comprehensive, properly functioning health system for the county will be formed.<br />

9. Logical Framework: Maximum 5 pts<br />

9.1 Complete the logical framework for the proposed project. Use the format attached<br />

to this document in annex 2 to this application form<br />

Please see the logical framework in Annex 2.<br />

9.2 Related to this logical framework; describe how the indicators will be measured to<br />

monitor project success. (Maximum 0.5 page)<br />

Achievement of project results will be measured through a number of data collection methods<br />

from several data sources. <strong>IRD</strong> plans to monitor the project through a combination of output<br />

and outcome indicators using routine monitoring, site visit, health facility assessments and<br />

KAP surveys. Project field staff will routinely collect monitoring data and conduct sites visits of<br />

activity and beneficiaries (ie. health facilities, CHWs, TBAs, AES instructors, BHCs, and<br />

VWCs), which serves as the basis of all reporting needs. Indicators related to WASH activities<br />

will also be measured through routine monitoring and site visits. Project manager will process<br />

the data and track project progress against the logframe targets on an indicator tracking table<br />

to be developed after the award. To assess the health facility, <strong>IRD</strong> will conduct a health facility<br />

assessment at the start and end of the project to measure indicators related to primary health<br />

care. The assessment instrument will include BPHS standards for BEmONCPHCC and<br />

PHCUs. These assessments will be conducted by <strong>IRD</strong> staff at the 5 facilities<br />

constructed/rehabilitated by <strong>IRD</strong> (4 PHCUs and 1 PHCC). For outcome indicators, <strong>IRD</strong> plans<br />

to conduct a baseline and final survey of knowledge, attitudes and practices (KAP) related to<br />

primary health care in the communities surrounding the <strong>IRD</strong>-supported facilities. These<br />

surveys will provide insight on the use of facilities, results of the awareness raising activities in<br />

the community and results of community training activities. <strong>IRD</strong> will also verify project data<br />

against the South Sudan Second Household Health Survey planned for completion in 2010<br />

and the HMIS. In addition the project will support some of the Ministry of Health priority<br />

indicators by including them in the project logframe.<br />

10. Efficiency: Maximum 5 pts<br />

Maximum 0.5 page.<br />

Efficiency in this context is a measure of how economically resources and inputs,<br />

funds, expertise, and time etc. are converted into results or deliverables.<br />

10.1 Relationship between direct and indirect costs<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> has charged 7 percent administrative costs on direct project costs. The program and<br />

administrative costs are 60 percent and 40 percent, respectively, of the total program budget.<br />

10.2 Include unit costs of main deliverables – e.g. per classroom, borehole, PHCU,<br />

latrine, teacher trained, village health committee member trained, etc.<br />

<strong>IRD</strong> calculates the following unit costs of the main deliverables:<br />

Per Village Water Committee Member trained: GBP 81.36<br />

Per VWC member receiving refresher training: GBP 61<br />

International Relief and Development US <strong>Basic</strong> <strong>Services</strong> <strong>Fund</strong> and Mott MacDonald 10


Per Boma Health Committee Member trained: GBP 146.50<br />

Per CHW Trained: GBP 1,674 (includes 9 month room and board)<br />

Per Pump Mechanic Trained: GBP 173<br />

Per PHCU constructed: GBP 48,818<br />

Per Institutional Latrine Constructed: 4,882<br />

Per Borehole Rehabilitated: GBP 4,882<br />

All project costs are in line with the current CHESS Program funding and with averages<br />

observed elsewhere in Southern Sudan.<br />

11. Potential Impact: Maximum 5 pts<br />

Maximum 0.5 page.<br />

Describe short-term and long-term effects of the <strong>BSF</strong> intervention. Define both positive<br />

and negative, both direct and indirect, and both intended and unintended effects.<br />

Include environmental, gender and conflict prevention aspects.<br />

In the short-term, the proposed project will increase the number of fully functioning PHCUs<br />

and PHCCs and the number of trained health personnel, and thereby increase availability of<br />

PHC services in the county. Cold chain infrastructure and equipment will be improved, and<br />

will allow for greater vaccination and vitamin A coverage for children. Essential medicines will<br />

also be made available through inputs and drug management strengthening. Through the<br />

proposed health and hygiene awareness activities, residents of Duk county will be better<br />

informed about general health issues and the health services available to them. In addition,<br />

the project will increase the number of operational boreholes and thereby increase availability<br />

of water for the health services and the communities they serve. The project will also train<br />

VWCs and pump mechanics and provide a spare parts supply to work towards sustainable<br />

and long lasting water supply. Through all training activities with CHWs, BHCs, VWCs and<br />

pump mechanics, <strong>IRD</strong> will work to include women.<br />

The proposed project includes activities that will produce long-term results beyond its<br />

duration. <strong>IRD</strong> will work to develop capacity at the county level to manage, monitor and<br />

evaluate health services, leaving tools and systems in place that can be used by future<br />

generations of county health personnel. These systems and tools will contribute to ensure<br />

transparency, accountability, rationality and cost-effectiveness in the management of financial<br />

resources; establish a routine monitoring and evaluation system and guide the development<br />

of short and medium term plans which will contribute to a long term strategy. Ultimately, these<br />

tools and systems will ensure that the short-term effects of the project are sustained.<br />
