GENERAL OVER VIEW CRS has successfully implemented the ‘multiple uses of water’ approach throughout Jonglei state, South Sudan since march 2015 Constructed/rehabilitated over 276 integrated water supply systems through development and emergency WASH projects and secured sustainable access to safe water for more than 241,329 people. To ensues sustainability CRS trained 182 pump mechanics dominantly women Educated through messaging over 156,000 people on hand washing at critical times, safe water and food chain, safe excrete disposals, basic cholera prevention messages and early treatment seeking behavior. Established 30 sanitation marketing group of 30 members who in turn sold slabs and mobilized household to construct over 4,000 household latrines and reached over 24,000 people accessed to appropriate latrine Supported construction of separate (for girls and boys) 10 improved school toilets and benefited over 2,647 students CRS/South Sudan has been working in close collaboration with the Government of South Sudan to support communities in national WASH programming.
Continued, CRS is currently working to respond to WASH-related needs in 2 states (Jongeli, and Lakes) emergency responses and development through: New Construction; Deep and shallow boreholes, Rehabilitation; deep wells , shallow boreholes, Hand dug wells, Hygiene and Sanitation activities: BCC/PHAST, CHAST, Market Based WASH - Sanitation Marketing Water safety planning – from source to consumption The most popular latrine technology in Jonglei has proved to be the ecological sanitation ‘ Arborloo ’ as HHs are motivated due its multiple benefits. Arborloo simple pit (1 -1.5 meters deep) and for fruit tree planting when filled. Due to its multiple benefits including easy to construct, excreta disposal, fruit tree and suitable for collapsing site, its uptake is becoming very high and fast

Some facts about South Sudan. • Access to improved water sources and sanitation facilities is less than 40 and 15% respectively, in South Sudan WASH program (2013-2018), Ministry of Water Resource and Irrigation (MWRI). The information from MWRI also indicated that over 40%of boreholes are non functional Open defecation is more than 95% is in rural. • Over 40 per cent of WASH facilities in the conflict-affected states have been destroyed since late 2013. As a result many communities have reverted to using contaminated water sources. • Most water supply systems across the country are either not functional or only operating at low capacity. The economic downturn has further increased the cost of transportation, making trucked water unaffordable for many poor communities. • Large influxes of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) have led to the over-utilization of existing water and sanitation facilities, which has resulted in huge operational and maintenance needs in the sector. The logistics of providing water and sanitation facilities, as well as of ensuring hygienic conditions in the PoC camps and other places where IDPs settle is challenging, particularly when numbers increase rapidly and erratically.
Continued, • Overcrowding in camps and settlements often without access to clean water and with poor hygiene conditions can lead to outbreaks of water-borne diseases including cholera, which caused 6,421 recorded cases and 167 deaths in 2014 (WHO, 2015). In 2015, another outbreak that began in the Juba PoC in May, led to 1,818 cases and 47 deaths end October and in 2017 also a large outbreak occurs where CRS respond for it. • Due to insecurity and absence of water; most people migrate to river Nile, the only surface water that crosses the country. Furthermore, there are a number of boreholes concentrated along river Nile which in turn attracted settlement of people. The high concentration of people along the river resulted in several health and social problem including water related diseases (none tropical diseases like Guinea worm, cholera, malaria). Nowadays malaria and cholera occur as endemic in many areas causing several morbidity and mortality. Another problem is low production and conflict over resources including water and pasture. • Gender based Violence (GBV) has increased with the conflict as women often have to walk further to collect water and are subjected to additional dangers including rape from armed men. • Rapid inflation in the cost of many essential goods, including water, has further reduced access to safe water and sanitation services.
