Objectives

DRC mobile response team aims to support the most vulnerable and underserved populations in Upper Nile affected by conflict through the provision of multi-sector survival kit, non-food items and emergency shelter support. All responses are led by a protection centered need assessments that will determine the exact nature of the response. Through this project, DRC will fund a mobile team based in Malakal and Juba with rapid response capability to cover various areas of the Upper Nile State. The Juba based mobile team will quickly deploy to locations of Upper Nile where land access is limited for the Malakal based mobile team. By having a mobile team in Malakal, and Juba DRC will be in better placed to support new displacements and spontaneous returns across the Upper Nile. All S/NFI materials will be provided by the cluster pipeline and are not budgeted under the project. These items will include survival kit, NFI kits and emergency shelter items distributed by the cluster. The beneficiary calculation for both mobile response teams is in line with the USD $13 per beneficiary targeted by the cluster, including household members (i.e. one S/NFI kit directly benefitting all members of a household). The response missions will be followed by post distribution monitoring that will highlight any risks by the S/NFI intervention. Beneficiaries will be able to provide their opinions on how DRC and cluster interventions can be improved and they will be given the opportunity to make a complaint. A formal feedback mechanism will be fed through DRC’s hotline whereby complaints or queries may be logged and responded to remotely.
