Despite limited and restricted access to Kosti WayStation, people of South Sudanese origin have been supportedthrough the identification of extremely vulnerable individuals,protection monitoring, female hygiene kit distribution andprotection/GBV trainings and family tracing and reunification(FTR) systems for unaccompanied minors (UAMs).The sector has also conducted an assessment of people at riskof statelessness, with advocacy and technical assistance withthe Government of Sudan and South Sudan.In terms of child protection, the FTR system is fully operationalthroughout Sudan with a central database and hotline formissing and found children with both the Sudanese and SouthSudanese Government. In terms of GBV, there have beenactivities related to prevention and response to GBV incidents.The activities have involved IDPs, government officials, andmedia among others.Implementation challengesAccess restrictions have hindered a protection response tovulnerable populations in many parts of Sudan, especially inSouth Kordofan and Blue Nile states. There is also a lack ofprotection partners in Blue Nile. There has also been accessrestrictions in eastern Sudan, White Nile State (Kosti waystation) and Khartoum State (departure points), especiallywith respect to people of South Sudanese origin. In addition,significant access restrictions have hindered a protectionresponse to GBV activities targeting multiple actors, such asIDPs, government officials, media among others.The bureaucratic procedures associated with travel havecaused delays and difficulties in terms of project implementation.In Darfur, the security situation and Government imposedmovement restrictions hinders monitoring, especially in ruralcamps, requiring a review of monitoring exercises to includeremote monitoring. Funding has also been a challenge, andthe slow disbursement of donor funding for the CHF hasaffected the implementation of planned activities.Meanwhile, the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) for theprotection of separated and unaccompanied children betweenSudan and South Sudan expires at the end of June 2012.Changes in TargetsNo changes in targets.Sector Project RevalidationProjects were re-validated based on a sector review of thecurrent situation.
