Format BSF-IA Project Proposal - Call for Proposals Application Form IMPORTANT: • Fill out the form below and answer each question separately in this format. • Use margins of 2.5 cm (1 inch) and arial font size 11 point. The maximum allocated space per section is based on this margin and font size. • Where reference is made to population data, applicants must use the figures from the “5 th Sudan housing and population census 2008” Overall BSF Objective: The overall objective of the Basic Services Fund of the Government of Southern Sudan (BSF) is to increase the coverage of, access to and use by the population of Southern Sudan – in particular vulnerable groups of female members of the households, IDPs and refugees – of basic services in Primary Education, Primary Health, and Water & Sanitation, in a sustainable way. It therefore aims to strengthen the capacity of communities and the GoSS (central, state and county level) to plan, monitor and co-ordinate this service delivery through non-state actors. This purpose is consistent with BSF’s overall goal, namely GoSS’s poverty reduction agenda within the six year interim period of the CPA (January 2005 – July 2011). BSF’s main expected results are the establishment of operational primary schools, primary health clinics, drinking water points and latrines in parallel to capacity building, including training of teachers and health professionals and management training of local beneficiary groups, county authorities and the Steering Committee. 1.

Health: GBP 277,771 Training and Capacity Building Health: GBP 338,434 Water/Sanitation: GBP 143,820 Training and Capacity Building Wat/San: GBP 53,635 Maximum 0.25 page 4. Project Summary: Maximum 0.5 pages. Include information on where, what and how, with targets, including training targets and emphasis on working with government and/or civil society and sustainability. The overall goal of the project is to improve the health status of residents of Duk County. IRD believes it can best contribute to this goal by improving the availability of, access to, and quality of primary health care and water and sanitation services over an 18 month period. To achieve this, IRD and its partner the John Dau Foundation (JDF) will continue to work closely with the payam, county and state health and water representatives and local authorities building on lessons learned during the current BSF-funded project, Community Health and Education Services for Southern Sudan (CHESS). The team will bring the Duk Lost Boys’ Clinic (DLBC) in Duk Payuel up to the Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care Primary Health Care Center (BEmONCPHCC) level through rehabilitation, construction and equipment as outlined in the BPHS. As part of this, IRD will work with DLBC to improve the cold chain for vaccinations and outreach capabilities to improve vaccination and Vitamin A coverage to 40 percent. The project will equip three Primary Health Care Units (PHCU) in Mareng, Pakam and Pajut and construct one PHCU in Pagaak to meet the BPHS standard. 36 people or 40 percent of county health workers (CHW) and Traditional Birth Attendants (TBA) will be trained and certified by the Ministry of Health (MoH) trainers. The team will work with the four Boma Health Committees (BHCs) formed under CHESS and train an additional 13 BHCs linked to other county PHCUs. IRD will improve awareness of common health issues and increase demand for services through 16 health and hygiene campaigns (two per payam) while training 16 Alternative Education Systems (AES) instructors on health and hygiene issues. Throughout the project, IRD will strengthen the capacity of the County Health Department (CHD) and local authorities in health service delivery. The CHD take part in assessments, monitoring and planning for health service delivery; and linking the CHD to local authorities and communities through quarterly payam-based meetings. At the payam, county and state levels, IRD will improve associated water and sanitation services by working with 15 Village Water Committees (VWC) formed under CHESS and form an additional 15 linked to the boreholes rehabilitated near PHCUs. The VWCs will each elect one person to be trained as a pump mechanic. In collaboration with the state level water authorities and parts distributors, the project will establish a supply chain and stock of spare parts. 5. Project Objective: Maximum 0.25 pages. Objective must be Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time-bound (SMART) The objective of the project is to improve the availability of, access to, and quality of primary health care and associated water and sanitation services in Duk County during an 18- month period. Specifically, IRD will continue to develop relationships formed under CHESS at the state, county, and payam levels to improve primary health care service delivery and strengthen health personnel capacity, while improving infrastructure necessary for service provision and increasing community awareness on basic health issues. The project will support the CHD in carrying out its function in ensuring the above are carried out according to the BPHS. At the payam, county and state levels, the project will improve associated water and sanitation services through borehole rehabilitation and training of VWCs and pump mechanics with a focus on water quality and appropriate supervision.
