Clarifications on the report:

Donor contributions: Data refers to the donor contributions to the CHF for 2014, including contributions received from DFID in December 2013.

Allocations: Refers to funding allocations approved by the HC in 2014, including second allocation round made late in 2014. Some CHF projects began implementation in 2014 but have not yet been completed as a result of funds being allocated late in the year. Therefore the full impact of these projects is not captured in this report

Funding expenditures: The cut-off date for the 2014 expenditure which is released by MPTF is December 2014 and does not therefore correlate to the programmatic results which cover up to March 2015.

Financial Tracking Service (FTS): Data obtained from the FTS is used in this report to indicate the overall level of financial contribution to the 2014 Sudan Strategic Response Plan (SRP), and to explain the relative contribution of CHF to the SRP. For the purpose of this report, the CHF allocated funds in 2014 are considered as funding towards the 2014 SRP even if some of funds were not fully utilised in 2014. .

Beneficiary numbers: To minimise the duplication of beneficiary numbers reached by different sectors and with different allocation modalities, beneficiary numbers for the core pipeline allocations and for the support sectors of Coordination and Common Service (CCS) and Logistics and Emergency Telecommunications (LET) which do not provide direct service and assistance to people have been removed.

Despite the heavy burden that global and regional competing humanitarian demands have placed on the donor community, donors continued supporting humanitarian activities in Sudan and contributed US $547 million to the Sudan Strategic Response Plan (SRP) in 2014 (56% funded) to meet the needs of vulnerable people. Seven donors channelled their contributions through the Sudan Common Humanitarian Fund (CHF), for a combined total of $57.6 million or 11 per cent of SRP funding.

By delivering a coordinated prioritisation and allocation process based on the needs presented in the SRP, the CHF has boosted the effectiveness of the humanitarian response and enhanced the dollar value of allocations to individual projects. As the only substantive humanitarian funding in the country that is allocated through a coordinated sector approach, CHF contributes to a holistic and principled approach to the delivery of humanitarian aid. CHF also allows humanitarian organisations to access early start-up capital for their time-sensitive humanitarian interventions, therefore allowing them to get their projects up and running as they look for funding from other donors. Another unique attribute of the fund is its ability to directly fund national organisations who have established trust and links with the communities, thereby facilitating delivery of assistance to people in need in hard-to-reach areas and in places where international humanitarian partners are restricted to operate.

The CHF improved its accountability measures with enhanced capacity assessment process, risk management, strengthened Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) processes, and field-based project audits. These measures need continuous improvement to deal with the emerging accountability issues and high risk environment within which the fund operates. In this regard, I am happy to report that CHF monitoring teams were able to monitor 93 per cent of 2014 first allocation round projects, up from 50 per cent in 2013.

Going forward, the fund will tremendously benefit from multi-year donor contributions and timely deposits for the ever-growing humanitarian needs in Sudan. The fund will also work towards implementing recommendations of the recent CHF evaluation report, particularly in regards to lightening the allocation process and reducing the time for technical review and disbursements to allow implementing partners to implement their activities as soon as possible.

I would like to thank all the people and organisations who have contributed to CHF operations in 2014, especially donors, the members of the advisory board and the sectors. My particular appreciation goes to the team working on the fund both at OCHA and UNDP.

I am looking forward to another successful year for the fund and would like to express my commitment to ensuring that the fund lives up to its objective of providing principled humanitarian funding to alleviate the suffering of people in need.

FOREWORDFrom the United Nations Resident and Humanitarian Coordinator

A NeW CRISIS

In 2014, a total of 6.9 million people (about 20 per cent of Sudan’s population) were in need of humanitarian assistance according to the 2014 Strategic Response Plan (SRP). Key priority needs in the $985 million SRP were: 1) Life-saving assistance; 2) Protection for at-risk people; 3) Strengthened resilience of households and communities; and) Long-term solutions for the 3.6 million people who are either internally displaced or refugees in Sudan.

Key DRIveRS OF THe CRISIS

Internal displacement: By the end of 2014, there were 3.1 million people in protracted displacement including a new displacement of an estimated 400,000 people in Darfur, the highest number of displaced people in any single year since the conflict began in Darfur in 2003.

Food Insecurity and malnutrition: In 2014, Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) levels for children under-five in parts of Sudan stood at 28.2 per cent (state level) and as high as 42 per cent (locality level), which far exceeded the internationally accepted “critical” emergency threshold of 15 per cent. 1.4 million people had also been facing food insecurity in the country.

Refugee arrival: Since conflict erupted in South Sudan in December 2013, over 120,000 people have sought protection in Sudan; mostly in White Nile, Khartoum and South Kordofan states.

SlIgHT INCReASe IN DONOR SUPPORT

In 2014 Sudan CHF received contributions from seven donors amounting to $57.5 million. The contributions represented a five per cent increase compared with the 2013 funding level, and accounted for 11 per cent of Sudan SRP funding. Globally, Sudan CHF was the third largest CHF in 2014 and accounted for 14 per cent of donor contributions to 6 CHFs globally. More than 28 per cent ($16.4 million) of donor contributions was received before the start of the year, while the remaining 72 per cent ($41.2 million) was contributed during the year.

TARgeTeD AllOCATIONS

Funding was channelled through 11 sectors to 183 projects. More than 85 per cent of funds was allocated to projects responding to strategic objectives 1 (saving lives) and 2 (protection) of the 2014 SRP and which fell within the geographical boundaries set out in the 2014 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). The CHF targeted 71 per cent of its funding towards the Darfur region, which accounts for 56 per cent of targeted population in the 2014 SRP. The reserve window was used to respond to rapid onset crises including the Ebola threat, the very high displacement in Darfur and to addressing needs in the Jabel Marra area where access was granted for the first time after three years of restriction. THe CHF ADDeD vAlUe

CHF played an important role in jump-starting operations in the first half of the year, when funding was low and aid agencies were struggling to finance their activities. Although

CHF only contributed 11 per cent towards SRP funding in 2014, it was a major source of funding, representing between 20-64 per cent of funding for ES/NFIs, Protection, Recovery, Returns and Reintegration, Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene and Education sectors. CHF has also provided value beyond its financial worth and has strengthened the role of the HC and the sectors in targeting the most critical needs by implementing sector-led inclusive and transparent allocation process.

ACCOUNTABIlITy AND RISK MANAgeMeNT

In 2014, the Sudan CHF Accountability Framework including a risk management framework and Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) Framework was developed, with full roll-out planned for 2015. The CHF Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) teams monitored 93 per cent of 2014 first round standard allocation projects, which spanned ten sectors and eleven states. CHF also put measures in place to manage and mitigate the risk of fraud. This included anti-fraud policy requirement for partners, audits and financial spot checks of NGOs.

Seven donors contributed $57.6 million to Sudan CHF in 2014. Total contributions exceeded those in 2013 by 5 per cent ($2.8 million). UK, Sweden and Norway donated 83 per cent of the total contributions.

NEW DONORS JOIN CHF

Switzerland and Germany joined the list of CHF donors, with Switzerland making two contributions in 2014 and Germany contributions due for CHF 2015.

TIMING OF CONTRIBUTIONS

More than 28 per cent ($16.4 million) was contributed early before the start of the year, while the remaining 72 per cent ($41.2 million) was received during the year. Top-up contributions in the second half of 2014 from the United Kingdom, Norway, Switzerland and Ireland ($15.3 million in total) enabled the fund to conduct a second allocation round for the first time since 2010.

CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE SRP

According to the Financial Tracking Service (FTS), donors contributed $547 million to the SRP in 2014, or 55 per cent of the total $985.7 million requirement. Donor contributions to the CHF put it as the third source of funding for the SRP after United States and United Kingdom.

CHF CONTRIBUTION TRENDS

Although contributions to the Sudan CHF increased by 5 per cent in 2014, there was a reduction of 28 per cent compared with 2012 funding. This reflects the overall decreased availability of humanitarian resources in Sudan, the waning donor interest in Sudan due to the protracted nature of its humanitarian situation, the split of Sudan into two countries in 2011, the difficult operating environment and the growing global competition among countries in crisis for the limited supply of humanitarian resources worldwide.

ALLOCATION STRATEGy

Standard and special allocations remained the main modalities through which the CHF supported humanitarian response in Sudan, accounting for almost 90 per cent of CHF allocations ($49.4 million). For the first time since 2010, the CHF conducted two standard allocation rounds during the year – the first focusing on top and high priority needs and the second focusing on underfunded elements of the response through supporting interventions of best-performing implementing partners. More than 10 per cent ($5.8 million) of funds were allocated through the CHF reserve, providing rapid funds to support immediate humanitarian response in the country.

The 2014 CHF First Allocation Round, coinciding with the launch of the Sudan Strategic Response Plan 2014 (SRP), supported interventions targeting the needs as identified by the Sudan 2014 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO). As per standard practice, the overall Sudan strategic and needs assessments tools were complemented by the CHF 2014 Allocation Strategy Paper and sector specific strategies, which outlined further the geographic and substantive priorities to be targeted by CHF interventions.

To address the most urgent humanitarian needs, the CHF conducted prioritisation at three levels:

1. Only top and high priority projects within the Sudan 2014 SRP were eligible for the CHF funding;

2. Programmatic Review Groups (PRGs) reviewed 258 proposals with a total value of $106 million and selected only those strictly adhering to the CHF strategy; and finally

3. Technical Review Committees (TRCs) further refined the proposals, ensuring the quality of interventions and recommending only 116 proposals valued at $29 million to the Humanitarian Coordinator (HC) for approval.

2014 AFTER ACTION REVIEW FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

• The SRP focus on the saving lives and protection strategic objectives was appropriate and well reflected in the CHF 2014 allocation strategies, but there was too much focus on protracted IDPs and the newly displaced;

• The HNO is limited and sometimes outdated by the time CHF projects are assessed;

• Keep the minimum CHF funding between $200,000 and $500,000;• National NGOs to receive funding in US$ rather than SDGs;• Focus on funding NGOs rather than UN agencies, which have a wider

range of funding opportunities, such as Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF);

• Increase the CHF reserve beyond 10 per cent of available funding in order to allow the CHF to respond to sudden onset crises;

• Balance the importance of CHF funding for sector coordination with the need to focus on the affected population; and

• Recognition of the importance of the CHF’s role in mainstreaming gender and environment.

ALLOCATION By TyPE OF ALLOCATION

In 2014, some 69.3 per cent ($38.4 million) of CHF funds were allocated to 152 projects during standard allocation rounds, with 117 allocations disbursed in the first round and 35 in the second round allocation. Funding to special allocations (core pipeline, UNHAS services, and coordination and monitoring) amounted to 20.3 per cent of the total CHF funding in 2014 ($11.3 million), and funding channelled through the reserve window amounted to 10.4 per cent ($5.8 million).

CORE PIPELINE

To assess the added value of core pipelines, the CHF conducted a perception survey among the implementing partners – the intended recipients of core pipeline materials and supplies. 48 CHF implementing partners responded to the survey, which revealed:

• Limited knowledge about core pipeline supplies and materials among CHF recipients in some sectors: only 10 per cent of CHF partners responding to the survey in the Nutrition and WASH sectors requested core pipelines and none of the CHF recipients in the FSL sector reported to have requested a core pipeline from the sector2.

• Importance of early availability of supplies: 69 per cent of the respondents requested materials early in the year (March/April).

• Timeliness of the core pipeline: 70 per cent of the respondents received material in time to implement their project with little or no delay, and 67 per cent noted that the distribution allowed them to implement the project according to the planned timeline or only with slight delays.

• Implications of core pipeline delays: 8 per cent of partners reported delays in receiving core pipeline materials, which caused delays in their implementation; and 8 per cent of respondents indicated that they had not received the core pipeline materials at the time of the survey in August.

Based on responses received, core pipelines were not perceived as a major cause of delay for implementation among respondents. The survey also confirmed the utility of core pipelines and its complementarity with standard allocations, reinforcing the relevance of CHF core pipelines for ensuring a timely and coordinated humanitarian response.

ALLOCATION By SRP PRIORITy

More than 85 per cent of funds allocated in the first round went to projects that addressed strategic priorities 1 (saving lives) and 2 (protection) of the SRP. Of the remaining 15 percent, 13 per cent went to resilience and 2 per cent to durable solutions.

Forty-seven per cent ($25.8 million) of funding went to non-governmental organizations (34 per cent to international NGOs and 13 per cent to National NGOs) and 53 per cent ($29.6 million) went to UN agencies. Efforts to increase the share of CHF funding to national partners continued, with a 2 per cent increase achieved in 2014 from the 2013 level. The overall share of NGOs in 2014 however dropped by 2 per cent compared to 2013.

COMPLEMENTARy WITH CERF

In 2014, Sudan received $43.2 million from Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) in three CERF Rapid Response (RR) grants, and one Underfunded Emergency (UFE) grant. UFE (April 2014) and RR for Newly displaced people in Darfur (December 2014) grants were complemented with 2014 CHF First and Second Round Allocations respectively. $20 million of CERF UFE was complemented by $7 million from the CHF First allocation. In addition, $7.9 million under RR to new displacement in Darfur was complemented by $1.8 million in the CHF Second Round Allocation. This represents approximately $37 million (38 per cent) of 2014 CHF and CERF funds used in complementary manner by sectors, using the HNO as a basis to identify the highest life-saving priorities.

An independent review of the CERF added value conducted in September 2014 concluded that OCHA Sudan has been implementing some of the good practices prescribed by the guidance on complementarity between CERF and Country-Based Pooled Funds. These include, for example:

• Having the same staff supporting CERF and CHF processes. • Incorporating CERF projects into CHF monitoring processes, and

conducting joint After Action Reviews (AARs).• The CHF monitoring teams monitoring CERF projects.• The use of the same prioritisation process for the CHF and CERF UFE

grants.


Fund Performance & Management

14

STRENGTHENING THE LEADERSHIP OF THE HC

The Sudan CHF has served as key enabler of the Transformative Agenda, especially regarding the strengthening of the Humanitarian Coordinator’s (HC) leadership and coordination role as evidenced by the inclusive and sector-led allocation processes through which the HC made funding decisions in 2014. The CHF continues to remain the primary tool at the disposal of the HC to target the most critical humanitarian needs in Sudan and also facilitates the HC’s engagement with the humanitarian community and donors in Sudan on issues beyond those of the just the CHF. While CHF has provided the HC with an appropriate instrument for leveraging coordination, strengthening partnerships and improving planning processes, the use of the CHF advisory board as forum for humanitarian coordination has put too much pressure on the CHF, compromising the board’s ability to provide leadership and advice to the HC and CHF management4. The board’s focus therefore needs to be directed towards advising the HC on CHF strategic and policy issues.

STRENGTHENING THE RESPONSE CAPACITy AND SECTOR COORDINATION

The CHF continued to empower and enhance the responsibility of sectors and sector coordinators to develop sector-specific CHF strategies, which provide a baseline for the prioritisation and selection of projects during the Programme Review Group (PRG) peer-review process. The CHF continued to facilitate active inclusion in and alignment with the SRP process as all partners applying for funds during the first allocation round were required to have their projects within the Sudan SRP to be eligible for regular CHF funds. The active participation of sector partners in the PRGs, with equal representation from NGOs and UN agencies, enhanced the legitimacy and increased the quality of the allocation process, while strengthening the overall response capacity of the Humanitarian Country Team.

Given the importance of Sector coordinators’ role in coordination of humanitarian aid in Sudan in general and particularly for the oversight of the CHF Projects, the CHF funded life-saving sectors (WASH, Nutrition, Protection, Health, FSL, NFIs and Education) with the cost of one Sector coordinator at the P4 level (or equivalent) for 6 months for no more than US$ 105,000 per sector. CHF also provided support to the above sectors (except the NFIs and Education) for the cost of M&R officers. The support not only enhanced coordination during the CHF process but also across the wider humanitarian response in Sudan, particularly during formulation of the SRP.

PREDICTABILITy OF FUNDING

Due the declining funding and ever-growing needs in Sudan, there is no guaranteed CHF funding even for most established and long-time CHF partners. However, the fund is still perceived as a predictable source of funding for many humanitarian organisations in the sense there is an allocation process conducted every year, and that some of the partners are retained from year to year. For instance, 36 out of 41 organisations who received funding in 2013 continued to receive funding in 2014, representing an 88 per cent retention rate. Partners are also increasingly relying on CHF’s core pipeline allocations to jump-start operations and preposition supplies early in the year, when funding is low and aid agencies are struggling to finance their activities. Reliance on CHF as the single source of funding has not aided the sustainability of projects as key services and assistance have been discontinued when funding stopped.

TIMELINESS OF THE SUDAN CHF ALLOCATION

Despite improvements made in the last few years, timeliness of CHF allocations remains a valid concern. In 2014, it took more than five months to complete the first allocation. While several factors contributed to the delay (the new Grant Management System (GMS), the two-phase CHF project submission, a thorough quality assurance and review process, delayed or slow response by partners), concerns were raised that the process is sometimes too heavy, which consequently impacts the life-saving nature of CHF-funded interventions. To make the process shorter, CHF is exploring options including conducting some

of the processes concurrently as per the recommendations of the 2014 After-Action Review.

INCLUSIVENESS AND PARTNERSHIPS

The CHF remains one of the main direct sources of funding for national NGOs in Sudan, who cannot access bilateral funds from other humanitarian donors. This has, however, led to some organisations relying too heavily on CHF funding5. Partnerships with and support for national NGOs is instrumental in facilitating humanitarian response in areas of limited access. National NGOs are leveraging this partnership and the credibility they gained with CHF implementation to access funds from UN agencies and INGOs6.

The share of CHF funding to NGOs has steadily increased from 15 per cent in 2006, when the fund was established, to 47 per cent in 2014. In total, NGOs have received a cumulative 35 per cent of all CHF funding since 2006. The share of funding to national NGOs is also steadily rising, increasing from 11 per cent in 2013 to 13 per cent in 2014.

NO-COST ExTENSIONS

In 2014, 89 per cent of the 183 projects that received funding from the CHF successfully implemented project activities within the planned project period. The remaining 11 per cent (20 projects) requested and received no-cost extensions (NCEs).

Out of the 20 projects that received NCEs, 13 (65%) were submitted by INGOs, 1 (5%) by NNGOs and 6 (30%) by UN agencies. Seventy per cent of the requested NCEs were for standard allocation projects while the remaining thirty per cent was for CHF reserve allocation projects. The WASH, Education and health Clusters with 4 NCEs each had the highest number of NCEs (12 out of 20). The average duration of an NCE request was 2.6 months. Partners have cited the following reasons for requesting NCEs:

CHF FINANCIAL SUMMARy

In its capacity as the Fund Administrative Agent, the MPTF Office prepares consolidated Annual Financial Reports of the Sudan CHF, as well as regular financial statements on the Sudan CHF. The financial information in this section is a summary of the certified financial statements prepared on the basis of the 2014 fiscal year (Jan-Dec), and as a result may differ from financial information reported by the CHF on an allocation cycle basis.

In 2014 fiscal year, $52.1 million in contributions was received from donors, of which $50.0 million was transferred to participating organizations. Forty-nine per cent of transfers were to NGOs, who received allocations through UNDP as Managing Agent. Of the remaining transfers, UNICEF received 14 percent; WHO, UNHCR, WFP, and FAO received 7 per cent each; and OCHA, UNFPA, and IOM received 2 per cent each.

Expenditures include amounts allocated and transferred in previous years for certain projects, and therefore exceed the current year’s transfers.

CHF ADMINISTRATION FEES

From the US$ 52.1 million in donor contributions received in the 2014 fiscal year, US$ 2.9 million was used for management and administrative costs. This includes MPTF Administrative Agent fees, and the CHF Technical Administrative Fees including OCHA fees and UNDP Managing Agent fees. The total administrative cost represents 6 per cent of the transfers made to NGOs and UN agencies.

CHF TECHNICAL UNIT

The CHF Technical Unit is composed of OCHA Humanitarian Financing Unit (HFU) and UNDP Fund Management Unit. The Technical Unit is responsible for planning and delivery of CHF allocations, contract management, coordination of monitoring and reporting with the sectors, revisions and no-cost extensions as well as providing secretariat services to the HC and CHF advisory group. The Unit also coordinates CERF grant applications and reporting. HFU has been short-staffed for most part of 2014 with key positions remaining vacant, and relied on short–term deployment and temporarily appointed staff to support CHF processes and avoid disruption.

The Sudan CHF Accountability Framework was developed towards the end of 2014, with a full roll-out planned for 2015. Increased focus has been placed on risk management, monitoring and value for money. Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) Framework and a Guidance Sheet for implementing partners was also developed. The AAP guidance (also in Arabic) provides programming support and pulls together some best AAP practices in Sudan.

MONITORING MECHANISMS AND LESSONS LEARNED

The joint CHF, FMU and sector M&R teams achieved a monitoring coverage rate of 93 per cent for 2014 CHF first round allocation projects across ten sectors and eleven states. The projects monitored included 46 of the 51 projects identified as high-risk, and 97 per cent of projects implemented by national NGOs. The monitoring of projects was based on project logical frameworks and work plans, and progress against indicator targets was verified. The M&R team conducted interviews with community leaders and beneficiaries to ensure accountability and transparency of the project activities. At the end of mission, comprehensive monitoring mission reports were drafted and shared with all stakeholders for follow up and action.

The enhanced monitoring resulted in:

• Better understanding and analysis of the humanitarian context, the actors and the CHF contribution to the overall humanitarian response;

• Better assurance measures for project implementation and partner performance;

• Identification of high-performing organizations that were subsequently recommended for the 2014 second standard allocation round;

• Revision of risk levels for some projects and partners; • Closure of projects that demonstrated no progress despite several no-cost

extensions granted; • Suspension of payments for projects until the issues discovered during the

monitoring were resolved; • Addressing and eliminating overlaps and duplications in projects.• Incorporation of some the monitoring recommendations in the 2015

allocation strategy including introducing ceiling of funding for national NGOs and limiting core pipeline to supplies that cannot be procured through standard allocation.

Key M&R lessons learned:

• Some of the partner field offices are not fully informed of their CHF projects by their HQs- hence their limited information on their projects, and hence support to monitoring.

• Significant efforts are still needed to establish stronger links between M&R activities and SRP targets, and to ensure that monitoring findings are used to inform decision-making processes and improve the quality of programme delivery.

• The reporting and analysis of sector results also needs improvement.• It is difficult to judge partner performance on the basis of one monitoring

visit to one location in the case of projects with multiple locations. • Regular updates for the Inter-sector Group (ISCG) on bigger M&R

emerging issues is required.• There is room for improvement on the follow up of the monitoring

recommendations on regular basis. • Link between programmatic and financial segments of CHF monitoring

need to be strengthened.• Performance of the partners as established through monitoring visits

needs to be integrated into the scoring criteria during review of projects to better link allocation to performance.

• Value of cross-sectoral monitoring whereby M&R officers monitor projects outside their sector is recognised as good practice. Joint monitoring was also seen as successful experience as it gave M&R team opportunity to gain better understanding of issues that the partners from other sectors are facing in CHF implementation.

Accountability& Risk Management


Status of CHF Monitoring as of March 2015

RISK MANAGEMENT

In addition to the CHF partner performance monitoring, UNDP FMU put in place measures to manage and mitigate the risk of fraud. This required all NGO partners to have an anti-fraud policy and institute quarterly partner fraud reporting. Another newly introduced fraud mitigation measure in 2014 was the fraud assessment survey10. In addition, a strengthened risk management system composed of audits, financial spot checks of NGOs is in place to reduce residual fraud risks. These measures however did not result in any fraud reporting so far.

Further to the ongoing quarterly financial report review, which assesses the capacity of each partner to deliver accurate, timely, and quality financial reports, field-based financial monitoring was introduced in 2014, but this only focused on a few NGOs so far. This additional measure is intended to confirm the accuracy of financial reports and identify weaknesses or gaps in partner financial and internal control systems.

The annual analysis of financial performance data generated through the audits and the FMU-internal NGO database showed there was a significant reduction in the reporting of ineligible expenditures, and improvement in the quality of the reporting (measured by the number of loops/exchanges between NGOs and FMU required to finalise quarterly financial reports).

Each CHF partner is given a risk rating/monitoring priority based on, inter alia, the initial capacity assessment, the quality and timeliness of financial and narrative reports, the results of previous monitoring missions, the type of partner and the area of operation, the size of the allocation and the number of sectors the partner is funded in. The level of follow up of the partner throughout the project cycle is dependent on the risk level identified.

NGO ELIGIBILITy, NOMINATION AND CAPACITy ASSESSMENTS

Partner eligibility and selection is the initial stage of risk management. While existing NGO partners maintain their eligibility through satisfactory performance and audit results, potential partners are selected through a risk-based capacity assessment. In 2014 the NGO nomination process was strengthened by an increased focus on the technical capacity of potential new partners. A pre-nomination assessment of the technical capacity of partners by the Sector is critical in identifying where technical support will be needed. The assessment also serves

to ensure new partners are able to meet the delivery requirements of the CHF, mitigating the risk of delayed delivery.

NGO ANNUAL AUDIT

An essential mechanism for risk mitigation is the annual independent NGO audit. The audit selection is based on UN Office of Audit and Investigation’s (OAI) audit criteria determining the minimum expenditure threshold, in addition to assessed partner capacity, previous years’ audit results, partner financial and programmatic delivery performance, and changes in the risk profile of the NGO.

During the 2014 exercise, 55 projects were audited representing $15.6 million in expenditures, compared to 2013 when 24 projects representing $7.9 million in expenditures were audited. With the increased number of projects audited, the % of ineligible costs increased from 0.28% in 2013 to 2.14% in 2014, largely related to one partner. There were again no qualified audit opinions for the CHF projects audited. Funds related to ineligible expenditures, primarily the result of insufficient supporting documentation for expenditures, are refunded to the CHF.

2014 Capacity Assessments

In 2014, fourteen potential new partners were nominated to receive direct CHF funding, including two nominated by more than one Sector. Nine partners met the minimum capacity criteria, while five did not meet the minimum capacity criteria.

VALUE FOR MONEy

The CHF increased focus on Value for Money (VfM) in 2014 and commenced reviewing and providing budget guidelines complete with guidance on acceptable costs for staffing, and other cost drivers for CHF projects for 2015 allocation. Assessment criteria tools were also developed and shared to help in the selection of projects and to review and score proposals for the 2015 allocation.

With regards to 2014 allocations, the focus was mainly on identifying and analysing key components and cost drivers to measure economy. With this in mind an analysis was conducted to explain how donor contribution of $100 to the Sudan CHF is spent and how much of this amount is left for actual implementation after deducting management fees. For the purpose of this analysis, donor contribution less management and administrative agency fees was considered funding available for implementation

The analysis was based on data contained in the approved budgets of 111 CHF Sudan 2014 First Round Allocation projects of which 20 were implemented by UN agencies and 91 by NGOs. Out of the 91 NGO projects disbursed through UNDP as Managing Agent (MA), 33 contained pass-through funding to national NGOs and 58 projects direct implementation. After deducting UNDP MA Fees, Programme Support and Audit Costs, funding available for direct project costs11 was $84.10 for projects with pass-through funding and $84.85 for projects with direct implementation modality.

Out of the 20 projects allocated to UN agencies, 9 were for direct implementation and 11 were sub-granted to NGOs, leaving $91.21 and $88.62 respectively available for direct project costs.

GENDER

In 2014, 86 per cent of the 183 projects funded by CHF scored 2A on the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) gender marker, meaning these projects contribute significantly to gender equality, while 2 per cent of the projects scored 2B, meaning the principle purpose of these projects is to advance gender equality. These markers ensured that a significant number of CHF funded projects were gender sensitive. The partners received support from a gender advisor to improve their project submissions, mainstream gender throughout their proposals and ensure coding accuracy and quality control.

Despite efforts made to reduce “gender blind” projects, CHF partners can do more to ensure the distinct needs of men, women, boys and girls are incorporated throughout the project cycle, and not only in the planning stage. Sector partners need further capacity building to promote the collection, use and analysis of sex and age disaggregated data. The M&R team also need to dedicate additional monitoring time in the field to ensure that the the implemented activities address the gender issues and concerns identified in the project proposal. These steps will safeguard gender equity in CHF projects and ensure that gender considerations are not just limited to a “coding” exercise but that concrete measures are implemented to promote equal access of men, women, boys and girls to humanitarian assistance.

Project level results show significant participation of women. Women participation on Community-based Child Protection Networks for instance exceeded 70 per cent. Approximately half of total targeted beneficiaries by HelpAge to access legal documentation in West Darfur were women, and 60 per cent of those accessing the Older Persons Social Centres were also women

Health and nutrition sector partners have been found by the monitoring team to be good at keeping gender dis-aggregated data while they also and maintain generally gender balanced staffing in their clinics and facilities. However, as there is shortage of qualified female doctors, female patients are often compelled to seek consultations from male doctors.

Environmental concerns were integrated into the CHF in 2014 through the application of the Environment marker with support provided by an environment advisor. In this process, 87 per cent of all projects have been coded according to the potential environmental impact of the proposed activities with clear mitigation measures. Although used in previous years, the environment marker was revised for 2014; the new coding system takes into account both the potential environmental impact of a project and any planned mitigation measures.

CHF results

For the 2014 CHF allocations, the sector’s main objective was to strengthen coordination mechanisms and common services to improve the efficiency of humanitarian assistance. Their interventions are in response to the saving lives strategic objective of the SRP.

Strengthening coordination mechanisms and common services in support of saving lives:

The sector enhanced the capacity of target NNGOs and Humanitarian Aid Commission (HAC) offices in South Kordofan and South Darfur to implement lifesaving services during humanitarian and/or emergency response and to conduct emergency preparedness through wide range of activities like training, material sharing and distribution of equipment. In total, over 150 NNGO and HAC staff s were trained, with many reporting increased knowledge and skills in various areas of humanitarian and emergency response and strengthened coordination among NNGOs.

The three IOM displacement tracking matrix (DTM) projects funded by CHF (2 standard allocation projects and 1 reserve project) have surpassed their targets and registered 938,266 IDPs against an original plan of 400,000. IOM also screened over 35,000 persons for malnutrition. The projects provided accurate data on newly displaced IDPs to operational humanitarian aid agencies, allowing for better planning, prioritization and rationalization of the use of scarce humanitarian resources in favour of the neediest populations.

Monitoring and Reporting

The sector projects were tracked and monitored by respective agency staff. IOM in particular reported to have conducted follow up missions to monitor the IDPs / affected populations who were registered and to ensure the accuracy of the collected information. They have also shared daily and weekly reports with the humanitarian actors during emergencies to update them on the status of the registration exercises as well as on any population movements in Darfur.

OCHA and sector staff monitored 2 sector projects, therefore achieving 100 per cent monitoring rate for the CHF first standard allocation round projects for the CCS Sector.

Challenges

• Access remained a challenge in some states and some localities.

• Difficulty to tailor the training according to the partner needs in the absence of prior training needs assessment.

• Limited funding for the DTM project, preventing the project from reaching smaller displacements.

• DTM data not always fed upwards to Khartoum level.

• As there was no evidence of the impact of the 2014 capacity development project on improving the humanitarian operating environment, the sector concluded that there is no logic for continuation of the project in 2015.

CHF Added Value

• Availing accurate data on newly displaced people.

EDUCATION

lead agency: UNICEF

CHF results

The CHF funding in 2014 contributed to two main objectives in the 2014 SRP: 1) increase access to inclusive lifesaving education (formal and non-formal) in camps and gatherings; and 2) promote quality teaching and psychosocial support in camps and gatherings and for newly displaced children. The sector interventions respond to the saving lives and protection objectives of the SRP.

Increasing access to inclusive lifesaving education (formal and non-formal) in camps and gatherings:

The sector enrolled 57,000 school and pre-school children in basic schooling and distributed learning materials to 110,000 children in camps and gatherings. The sector also rehabilitated 245 classrooms and constructed 243 Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS).

Promoting quality teaching and psychosocial support:

Given the importance of psychosocial support for children bearing the trauma of conflict and displacement, the sector provided psychosocial services to 41,000 children. The sector further enhanced the education infrastructure in camps and IDPs gatherings by constructing 213 gender sensitive latrines. The quality and management of education delivery was addressed through training of 70 government officials, 2,000 members of Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) and 1,700 teachers.

Overall 138,000 beneficiaries (53 per cent female) have been assisted through Education in Emergencies (EiE) services through 20 EiE projects funded by CHF throughout the year.


During the reporting period, education sector, FMU and OCHA conducted coordinated monitoring missions to 13 projects, which represents 93 per cent of the education projects in the first standard allocation round. Due to security reasons, sector could not secure access to one project site in East Darfur state. The sector still plans to monitor second round allocation projects whose implementation started late in the year.

Challenges

• Delays in signing project partnership agreements and subsequently in receiving funding, impacting the project implementation timeline.

• Inflation in the cost of construction and transportation material, forcing partners to request amendment and changes in their budget and planned targets.

• Insecurity and armed conflict in Kordofan, Blue Nile and Darfur region, disrupting the staff access to the project sites.

• Difficult access to some of the target areas during the rainy season, delaying the actual construction of the Temporary Learning Spaces (TLSs) by the contractors.

Lessons learned

• In South Kordofan, children often support their families during plantation and harvest season which affected education sessions in some areas. Catch-up classes were therefore introduced for children involved in harvesting to make up for the missed classes.

CHF Added Value

• Major source of funding for Education in Emergencies • Providing access to learning and recreational activities

for children at risk of violence, abuse and exploitation.

EMERGENCy SHELTER/NON-FOOD ITEMS

lead agency: UNHCR

CHF results

The objectives of the sector in the 2014 SRP supported by CHF were to: 1) provide immediately lifesaving ES/NFI response to newly displaced people; and 2) provide environmentally friendly shelters and transitional environmentally friendly shelter to protracted IDPs.

The geographical focus of the sector remained Darfur, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states, where the needs continue due to ongoing conflict and displacement and large scale disasters (fires and floods).

Providing immediately lifesaving ES/NFI response to newly displaced people:

The sector provided ES/NFIs and, in cases where necessary, shelter construction material for constructing a frame for the provided plastic sheet for 800,000 conflict/disaster affected, new and protracted IDPs.

Providing environmentally friendly shelters and transitional environmentally friendly shelters to protracted IDPs:

The sector completed provision of 3,860 environmentally friendly transitional shelters in Darfur for 19,300 people.

Monitoring and Reporting A Post Distribution Monitoring exercise (PDM) is standard process for all ES/NFI partners after completion of distributions. Community members and community leaders are trained for participation in the exercise. In addition to a dedicated M&R officer based in Darfur who covers most project areas, UNHCR ES/NFI field staff participated in monitoring the implementation and progress of activities. Information sharing was ensured through the ES/NFI coordination meetings held bi-monthly in Nyala/El Fasher and in El Geneina and monthly in Khartoum. Partners provided periodic progress reports and updates on activities.

All implementing partners submitted satisfactory distribution reports, signed distribution lists and geo-tagged photos of the distributions. Spot checks were conducted through beneficiaries’ mobile phones to ensure that the beneficiaries were served as was indicated on the beneficiary list. The ES/NFIs sector undertook joint PDM exercises with the distributing partner, using a standard PDM questionnaire to assess beneficiary satisfaction. Monthly response reports were published for partners and donors.

During the reporting period, with support from OCHA and UNDP FMU the sector monitored 13 out of the 14 first round standard allocation projects.

Challenges

• Lack of travel permits, preventing UN and other organisations’ staff from monitoring the assistance and witnessing the distributions.

• Incomplete needs assessments and verifications prior to distribution, making fair and equitable NFIs distribution very challenging.

• Delays in the process of verification and assessment of newly displaced people, especially in the larger camps such as Zamzam and Kalma, resulting in a delay in distribution of NFIs and other services.

• Customs hold-ups for NFIs shipments.

Lessons learned

• Maintaining carry-over stocks was found to be extremely useful as stocks were available for partners to respond to the needs of newly displaced people in Darfur.

• Given limited supplies and high demand, the sector decided to break down the renewal packages into individual items to cater for more people in need.

• In areas where there is no access due to insecurity and where there is no readily available store, UNAMID is requested to provide store for NFIs.

CHF Added Value

• Providing early response, early replenishment of stocks and prepositioning in field locations before the rainy season

• Providing direct funding to national partners who have no direct access to bilateral funding.

FOOD SECURITy AND LIVELIHOODS

lead agency: FAO, WFP

CHF results

The objectives of the sector in the 2014 were to: 1) enable newly displaced persons to cover part of their food requirement by their own means; 2) support basic veterinary services in camps and gatherings; and 3) restore, safeguard and strengthen livelihoods of extremely vulnerable people.

Enabling newly displaced persons to cover part of their food requirements by their own means:

Overall, the FSL sector provided support to 308,318 households (1,849,905 people) both in camps/gatherings and resident areas with different types of response interventions using CHF funded resources. The sector provided agricultural inputs (cereals, cash crops and vegetable seeds) to 152,971 households (917,826 people) in IDP camps and gatherings; distributed 6,600 pieces of agricultural hand-tools to beneficiaries in the camps and gatherings; vaccinated and treated 5.0 million animals belonging to 114,928 IDP households (685,968 people) in camps and gatherings; supported 20,055 IDP households (120,330 people) in IDP camps and gatherings with energy saving technologies such Fuel Efficient Stoves and tree planting. Moreover, the sector provided 8,670 households (52,020 people) in IDP camps and gatherings with livelihoods diversification inputs/equipment (i.e. cheese making, restocking, bee keeping).

As result of the of the various agricultural inputs and support services, the partners reported improved food security and income status of the beneficiaries from increases in crops and vegetables production and from the sale of cash crops. For instance, only 10 per cent of beneficiaries have less than 6 months of cereals self-sufficiency compared to 61 per cent in 2013; and 35 per cent of beneficiaries produced the equivalent of 15 months or more cereals for their domestic consumption and became food secure in Bindizi Locality, Central Darfur12.

Restoring, safeguarding and strengthening livelihoods of extremely vulnerable households:

The sector provided 51,977 households (311,862 people) in targeted areas outside camps and gatherings with agricultural inputs (cereals, cash crops and vegetable seeds); vaccinated 726,121 animals belonging to 16,514 households (96,084 people) outside camps in resident areas; protected and rehabilitated 120 hectares of pasture rangeland; and provided livelihoods diversification inputs/equipment to 1,298 households (7,788 people) in and outside camps.

Sector partners reported that the emergency livestock support led to improved livestock production, protection and productivity and improved food and nutrition security as well as income levels among the beneficiaries. The livelihood support that was provided helped beneficiaries restore and strengthen their source of livelihoods, mainly due to the diversified sources of production and income according to the partners’ report.


The Sector M&R officer supported by OCHA and FMU teams visited 100 per cent of all first round standard allocation projects. The monitoring missions was planned to coincide with the harvesting season to monitor the impact of the seeds distributed to the beneficiaries.

Challenges

• Wide gap between the actual sector priority needs and amount of CHF funding provided.

• Un-even coverage of geographic areas with high needs because of the limited funding.

• Limited access and government restrictions of movements of NGOs to areas of target beneficiaries in locations of armed conflicts and ethnic tensions.

• Heavy rains and floods, constraining access to target villages and causing delays of some activities.

• Delay in vaccine production and delivery from Ministry of Animal Resources (MoAR), affecting the implementation of vaccination campaigns.

• Increased price of livestock [goats] with adverse effect on livestock restocking program targets;

• Delay in fund release, delaying the actual implementation of interventions.

• Problems in international money transfers to some commercial banks in Sudan, causing delays and forcing some partners to change money transfer approaches.

• Delays in signing project MOU/Technical Agreements with HAC in some states, adversely affecting timely implementation of time-critical seasonal activities.

Lessons Learned

• Close cooperation and advance planning with the National Seed Administration facilitates timely procurement and delivery of agricultural inputs.

• The involvement of HAC and IDP Sheiks’ Council has been useful in some instances for resolving implementation challenges.

CHF Added Value

• Major source of funding, covering 32.5 per cent of the needs of the FSL target population.

CHF results

The health sector interventions funded through CHF relate to the saving lives objective of the SRP. The health sector had two main objectives: 1) ensuring better primary health care access including mother and child health for vulnerable people in camps and new IDPs; and 2) strengthening national and local capacity in early detection, preparedness and response to emergencies.

Ensuring better access for vulnerable people in camps and gatherings and for newly displaced people to quality primary health care services including mother and child health:

The sector reported to have reached 3.0 million people (82 per cent) of targeted 3.7 million people in camps and gatherings with primary health care services including mother and child health. A minimum basic package of health services was provided in 244 health facilities (100 per cent of target) with 1.1 million outpatient consultations (80 per cent of target) conducted. The coverage for routine vaccination was reported at 66 per cent for penta 3, and 77 percent for measles .The routine coverage reached above 85% with acceleration campaigns. 31,905 births had been assisted by skilled birth attendants (65 per cent of target 69% ). In addition, 31 health facilities in camps and gatherings were rehabilitated and equipped with CHF support (91 per cent of the target).


As part of the health sector efforts to ensure the efficient use of CHF resources and to improve the quality of the implementation, the monitoring and supervision was enhanced. All 17 first standard allocation round projects were visited by the sector monitoring officer. Detailed mission reports and recommendations were disseminated and discussed bilaterally with partners. The implementation of corrective measures has been followed up by the sector lead and WHO field teams in each location.

The main challenges observed during monitoring missions was high turnover of NGOs management staff, and critical shortages of specific categories of health care providers such as doctors and lab technician/assistant (in 50 per cent of the projects). In addition, weak drug management systems in remote health centres resulted in frequent stock out (in 40 per cent of the projects).

Challenges

• Lack of continuous access to monitor the project sites in some remote locations.

• Insufficient availability of qualified human resources in remote areas, compromising the quality of health services.

• Delay in CHF fund disbursement to the health partners affects the continuity of health services provision especially for NNGOs with limited financial resources.

International NGOs reported two significant additional difficulties:

• Delays in funds transfers to Sudan associated with sanctions; and

• Increased financial cost (fees, commissions, etc...) not covered by the projects budgeting.

Lessons Learned

• The presence of local health staff in most of the sites ensures the continuity of health services and the flow of information even during unstable situation.

CHF Added Value

• The initial containment of (and response to) public health threats.

• The delivery of essential emergency primary health care and referral services.

• Timeliness of core pipeline. • Immediate gap filling.

The main objective of the sector is to provide logistic services to humanitarian actors, enabling them to respond to emergencies in a timely manner across all sectors. As a support sector, LET contributed indirectly to the achievements of the other sectors in terms of beneficiaries reached and humanitarian assistance delivered.

Providing logistics services to support the humanitarian community’s response within the 2014 strategic response plan boundaries:

The sector supported the delivery of 235 MT of humanitarian cargo through the use of United Nations Humanitarian Air Services (UNHAS). In addition, out of 100 contracted hours, UNHAS has achieved a 91 per cent aircraft utilization. 100 per cent of requested medical and security evacuations have been carried out, while 100 per cent of planned destinations have also been reached. The sector also supported the timely transportation of ES/NFI stocks from the Common Pipeline main hub in El Obeid to the primary warehouses in Darfur and onward to distribution points. As a result, 135,000 conflict/disaster-affected people, returnees and protracted IDPs were assisted with ES/NFIs, thereby facilitating the ES/NFIs timely distribution to beneficiaries.


Through WFP internal online systems, LET provides reports on cargo moved and goods stored on behalf of humanitarian partners. In addition, UNHAS provides figures on humanitarian cargo and the number of passengers through the Electronic Flight Management Application (EFMA).

Challenges

• N/A.

Lessons Learned

• The efforts made through joint training programs to reinforce the collaboration between the Sudan CAA (Civil Aviation Authority) and UNHAS tremendously reduced the time involved in getting required clearances from the CAA.

• The strict adherence of the UNHAS procedures in areas with ongoing hostilities continued to serve as the bedrock for the safety and security of the service.

• The on-line booking, introduced at the end of 2013, has been very successful and accounted for 80%of the total bookings received by the end of the year.

• The improved booking system has also helped the security of UNHAS users. This is particularly true for those users based in Darfur that now, thanks to the online service, do not need to physically move to UNHAS offices anymore, thus reducing the risk of exposure to abduction and other security threats.

CHF Added Value

• Allowing UNHAS to avoid service disruption and extra costs associated with fleet repositioning out of Sudan.

• Facilitating the implementation of humanitarian projects in remote areas.

NUTRITION

lead agency: UNICEF

CHF results

The sector response was aligned with the saving lives objective of the SRP. The objective of the sector is to reduce nutrition related mortality and morbidity among people in camps and gatherings.

Reducing nutrition related mortality and morbidity among people in camps and gatherings:

The sector partners treated 129,000 children for severe and acute malnutrition. It also treated 10,000 pregnant and lactating women for moderate acute malnutrition. Moreover, the partners reached 496,000 with preventive nutrition messages and activities and trained 700 facility staff on preventive nutrition activities.


The sector monitored 17 out of 24 projects from first and second allocations rounds as well as reserve and core pipeline. This represents an overall monitoring rate of 71 per cent.

Challenges

• Accessibility due to insecurity and restriction of travel permits remained the major challenge for humanitarian operations in Darfur and also for monitoring teams.

• Heavy rains, affecting the transportation of supplies, supervision and monitoring.

• Delays in staffing due to long process of recruitment and seconding of staff from MOH.

• MOH providing seconded staff who are not in the MOH payroll.

• The delay in signing the Technical Agreement with HAC, with consequences for the start-up of the projects.

Lessons Leaned

• Partners have found that relying on local staff is useful to overcome the security and access challenges faced by their international staff.

CHF Added Value

• Ensuring the delivery of essential emergency nutrition services in most of the critical areas.

• Timeliness of core pipeline, early response and timely pre-positioning of essential supplies.

• Building the capacity of some national partners in gap areas not covered by international partners.

The main objectives of the sector are to: 1) reduce incidents and effects of violence, abuse and exploitation in camps and gatherings; and 2) empower communities and national institutions with respect to identification of and response to protection concerns.

Reducing incidents and effects of violence, abuse and exploitation, particularly for groups with special protection needs, in camps and gatherings and for newly displaced people:

The sector partners contributed to strengthening the assessment of IDPs’ and Returnees’ protection needs and concerns, including through the monitoring and tracking of population movements in all targeted locations. In particular, a comprehensive Child Protection assessment was conducted in South Darfur State in close collaboration and coordination with UNHCR, UNICEF and UNFPA. The assessment covered 14 of 18 localities in South Darfur.

A total of 167 beneficiaries received training on protection guidelines on Gender-Based Violence (GBV), Child Protection and human rights abuses to improve their knowledge on protection issues. Moreover, partners successfully established and supported existing Community-Based Protection Committees (CBPCs) in the five Darfur States, Blue Nile, South Kordofan and Kassala States. The committees were instrumental in raising awareness on protection among communities, through awareness raising sessions and in identifying protection concerns, trends and incidents regularly occurring among affected communities. The committee members also represented their communities on various occasions in advocacy meetings.

The GBV partners carried out effective GBV coordination which targeted GBV actors at the state and locality levels and supported capacity building activities for government and NGO partners in areas relevant to GBV, specially focusing on Clinical Management of Rape (CMR) for health providers and social workers. Psychosocial support had been provided for 113,750 children through established Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs). In addition, partners furnished guesthouses which accommodated 56 Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC) in Blue Nile state, and supported the establishment of Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR) mechanisms which resulted in 2,377 unaccompanied children reunified with their families.

A project targeting elderly people, implemented by Help Age, facilitated access to national personal documents. The organization provided Health Insurance cards and other

documentation for 620 elderly people. A referral system reaching 530 people was introduced to improve access to basic social assistance including health services, legal and psychosocial support and income generating activities. The impact of this project includes enhanced protection and a more stable situation through guaranteed citizenship and rights to access services and own lands.

Protecting people from the risk posed by mines and other remnants of war.

The Mine Action sub-sector conducted Mine Risk Education (MRE) campaigns which reached 9,311 people (3,096 men, 2,592 women, 2,071 boys and 1,552 girls) in Kassala, South Kordofan and Blue Nile States. Through these campaigns, the participants received information about the danger of landmines/Explosive Remnants of War (ERW), and learned how to protect themselves from these risks. Friends of Peace and Development Organisation (FPDO) and JASMAR successfully cleared and handed over approximately 600,300 sqm of land (free of landmines/ERW) to the National Mine Action Centre and destroyed 114 items found during the clearance operation. The capacity of 40 focal persons and community volunteers (20 female & 20 male) from IDPs, returnees, and at risk population, and of 5 CBOs in contaminated areas was strengthened to report hazards/accidents and to sustain MRE messages.

Challenges

• The delay in signing the Technical Agreements, resulting in the late start of most of the sector projects.

• Market inflation and high prices of materials resulting in changes for some activities.

• Access problems in some areas in Darfur, South Kordofan, Blue Nile and Kassala during the rainy season, preventing humanitarian agencies from identifying newly displaced population which could have been provided support by the projects.

• HAC requirements that protection projects should contain “hardware components” such as infrastructure rehabilitation; and the sensitivity of the government towards the protection activities and issues related to Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV)

• The reluctance of victims to report GBV cases, and data collected by government not being shared.

Lessons Learned

• An advocacy strategy for access in difficult states i.e. Blue Nile is needed to solicit support from governmental humanitarian institutions (HAC, Ministry of Social Affairs).


Given that the Protection Sector has a dedicated Monitoring and Reporting (M&R) officer; regular field visits were conducted to monitor the status of progress made by partners. The M&R officer played a key role in providing technical support to partners during the implementation period of this project. The sector M&R officer monitored 14 projects out of 15 planned and delivered comprehensive

reports to the protection sector, which can be used by the sector for the selection of partners in future allocations, and to measure CHF contribution on achieving SRP indicators.

CHF partners used different M&R methodologies. Some partners dedicated a special staff to undertake project monitoring through field trips. Daily monitoring of the activities was also undertaken through the animators and PTA who played a key part in providing supervision and facilitating the activities. They recorded achievements on a daily basis and shared the information in a weekly report format.

CHF Added Value

• Coordination of the protection response. • Prompt response to new emergencies. • Funding to M&R position which has proven instrumental

for the sector.• Improving geographical coverage and ensuring a

minimum humanitarian protection presence in protection sensitive areas.

RECOVERy, RETURN AND REINTEGRATION

lead agency: UNDP and co-led by IOM and CRS

CHF results

The Sector interventions responded to SRP strategic Objectives of protection, resilience and durable solutions. The specific objectives were to : 1) assist voluntary return and local integration of IDPs through logistic support, improved data collection, planning and coordination; 2) create economic opportunities (employment creation, cash-for work, microfinance, access to markets, and improved vocational skills); and 3) improve basic infrastructure for better access to affected and at-risk populations by repairing, rehabilitating and constructing transport infrastructure.

Improving basic infrastructure for better access to affected and at-risk populations:

Construction and rehabilitation of critical infrastructure such as the Habila animal waiting area has encouraged all communities to frequently access the market and minimized tensions experienced by conflicting groups (e.g. between pastoralists and farmers) during market hours. The rehabilitation and maintenance of the main roads as well as ongoing construction of the Habila main bridge ensures sustainable movement between Habila and Forobaranga and Habila and El Geneina. The RRR projects also provided 10 communities in 6 return villages with sustained access to potable water, education, and healthcare in the area of Habila.

Creating economic opportunities (employment creation, cash-for work, microfinance, access to markets, and improved vocational skills:

The Cash for Work (CFW) activities implemented by sector partners assisted local farmers and nomadic pastoralists in increasing their household income through temporary employment opportunities during the lean season, thereby contributing to enhanced resilience and ability to withstand shocks and stresses. Interventions also enhanced protection for fragile groups as women and vulnerable communities were the primary beneficiaries. The project activities also included trainings and capacity building for durable solutions

Assisting voluntary return and local integration of IDPs:

Detailed data on the type of return (permanent or seasonal), age, gender, place of origin, place of displacement; and vulnerability status of 45,000 returnees in localities considered as areas of high return were collected through the return-tracking project in the Darfur region (in return villages in West, North, and South Darfur). Twelve statistical reports on return trends and data were also shared with humanitarian organizations such as OCHA and government summarizing the return movements.

Challenges

• Limited funding. • Delayed disbursement of project funds.• Insecurity and lack of access to some areas, as well as

coordination setback with government counterparts, affecting project start-up activities and subsequently delaying project implementation.

Lessons Learned

• To support the transition from protracted relief to increased self-reliance and recovery, community and national partners’ active participation and ownership is required and efforts need to be scaled-up to provide alternatives to the current ‘open-ended’ commitment to ‘short-term’ camp based assistance.

• Up to date information on the returnees supports more effective short and medium term humanitarian planning among Government partners, UN agencies, NGOs and the communities themselves. Meanwhile data collection on returnees is a critical need for the RRR and other sectors to provide assistance for this group of people in Sudan.


The sector supported by OCHA and FMU monitored 4 out of the 4 projects by the sector partners, representing a monitoring achievement of 100 per cent.

CHF Added Value

• Enabling vulnerable return and host community and at-risk populations to mitigate risk and withstand shocks and stresses.

• Return-tracking.• Capacity building of local partners and communities.

REFUGEE MULTI-SECTOR

lead agency: UNHCR

CHF results

The sector responds to the saving lives objective of the SRP and its main objective is to ensure access of refugees, asylum seekers and refugee returnees to basic needs and essential services.

Ensuring access of refugees, asylum- seekers and refugee returnees to basic needs and essential services:

With CHF support, legal support was provided to 2,500 refugees who were arrested in Khartoum following round ups which took place between 1 April and 30 June 2014. The deportation of over 400 Eritrean and Ethiopian refugees was also prevented. Access to health services was improved with 5,972 refugees receiving treatment. CHF funding supported South Sudanese refugees relocation from Shagara open area to Bantiu site in Jabal Aulia where they have access and receive basic services much more readily. Previously, those living in Shagara were not able to access adequate WASH infrastructure or maintain basic standards of shelter.

Challenges

• Lack or delay of technical agreements with the government to implement projects, delaying project implementation.

• Inability to choose the most appropriate partner as a result of government restrictions.

• Insecurity in some of the areas where activities were implemented.

Lessons Learned

• While there is demonstrated improvement in the identification capacity, particularly with regards to victims of trafficking and Sexual Gender-Based Violence (SGBV), the response capacity remained limited due to the lack of comprehensive outreach strategy for urban refugees and limited financial and human resources.


The sector reported that multi-function monitoring missions conducted in 2014 had positive effects on project implementation. For example, joint and independent monitoring missions allowed partners to ensure timely and appropriate corrective actions and ensured the smooth implementation of the project activities.

OCHA led the monitoring of RMS projects which were mainly in Khartoum. 4 out of the 6 sector projects in the CHF first standard allocation had been monitored, representing monitoring achievement rate of 67 per cent for the first standard allocation projects.

CHF Added Value

• Prevention of trafficking and gender-based violence. • Protection assistance and support of Victims of

trafficking. • Registration of over 2,509 new arrival refugees from the

Central African Republic (CAR). • Granting of refugee status to 302 new asylum seekers.

WATER, SANITATION AND HyGIENE

lead agency: UNICEF

CHF results

The sector interventions were aligned with the saving-lives objective of the SRP. Its main objective was to sustain and expand access to water supply, sanitation and hygiene services in camps and gatherings

Sustaining and expanding of access to water supply, sanitation and hygiene services in camps and gatherings:

During the reporting period, the sector partners constructed 400 latrines; rehabilitated 5,200 water points and 2,600 latrines; and operated and maintained 5,300 water points. Over 8,000 members of community received training on management of water, sanitation and hygiene services. 1,16,000 people were served with solid waste management. Over 600,000 received hygiene education messages and raised their awareness.

Challenges

• Insecurity and lack of physical access during rainy season.

• Delays in getting authorization to access most of the project sites in East Darfur.

• Security and safety of solar powered water systems. • Internal funding flow challenges.• Late CHF funding disbursement.

Lessons learned

• NNGOs can be a real asset in WASH service provision if technical and financial support is provided to them.

• Consolidation of different partners experiences can help WASH sector to roll out community based management of WASH services.

• Solar powered systems support community management of water supply.

• The WASH Sector needs effective strategy to deal with access difficulties for international agencies in South Kordofan & Blue Nile States.

• On-job training of the local NGOs is the optimum way of partner staff capacity building.

• More support is needed for the State water corporation to ensure sustainability of the safe drinking water supply after rehabilitation of the water yards.


The sector monitored 9 out of the 10 projects in the first round allocation in three Darfur states, Blue Nile and South Kordofan, therefore achieving 90 % monitoring of first standard allocation projects.

CHF Added Value

• Major source of funding.• Support to sector coordinator and M&R officer.

Conclusions and Way Forward

46

Despite reduced funding levels, the Sudan CHF continues to be key financier of life-saving humanitarian interventions in Sudan as evidenced by the number of humanitarian projects supported in 2014 (183) and the number of sectors for which CHF represents a major source of their SRP requirement funding. Through provision of special allocations including core pipeline, CHF plays an important role in jump-starting operations in the first half of the year, when funding is low and aid agencies need to preposition core humanitarian supplies and material. The value of CHF is however not limited to the funding it provides to humanitarian agencies. It provides the HC with a tool for leveraging coordination, strengthening partnerships and improving the humanitarian planning process, therefore contributing to the implementation of the Transformative Agenda13. The fund also continues to be a key enabler of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) by aligning its funding to the priorities set out in the Plan and making a requirement for all partners seeking funding to participate in the process.

The Sudan CHF has introduced improvements across various fund management areas in 2014, including accountability framework with monitoring and reporting, risk management, accountability to affected populations and value for money mechanisms. While implementation of the new mechanisms is still evolving, the fund already achieved 92 per cent monitoring of projects in the 2014 first round allocation, and auditing of 77 projects representing $28.4 million in expenditures or more than 50 per cent of 2014 allocation projects..

Going forward, a key over-arching priority is to further define risk management approach and conduct periodic analysis of the risk environment, monitoring relevance and utility of the mitigation measures and regularly updating the stakeholders on the progress. Other priorities and recommendations stemming from the CHF evaluation which was conducted last year, 2014 after-action review and consultations with the members of CHF advisory board and other stakeholders which need the focus of the fund include:

1. Sustained and timely donor contributions: In order to continue to provide a lifeline support for humanitarian agencies early in the year and for the fund to remain responsive and cost-effective early and sustained donor support for the CHF remains crucial.

2. Balancing accountability and efficiency: In order to maintain or improve

the timeliness of response a compromise must be struck between the accountability assurances and the efficiency of the allocation process. The 2014 CHF cycle revealed some stakeholder perceptions that the process is overly heavy and skewed towards ensuring accountability at the expense of efficiency and flexibility. The allocated time for some segments of the allocation process including the technical review and contracting of partners needs therefore to be reduced to allow implementing partners start their implementations early in the year.

3. Funding limited number of projects: In order to reduce the allocation transaction cost and maximise impact of CHF projects, there is need to focus only on limited number of high priority projects, prioritising where possible multi-sectoral and multi-partner projects and raising floor ceilings.

4. Establishing clear criteria for the use of the CHF reserve: Given the increasing number of requests for CHF reserve, it is important to define clear criteria for accessing the fund and limit its use to few objectively identified agreed upon onset crisis.

5. Support for principled humanitarian action: With the operating environment in Sudan remaining challenging, the fund will need to demonstrate the ability to support principled humanitarian action based on the principles of neutrality, independence and impartiality. This will imply supporting urgent humanitarian interventions conducted by impartial humanitarian actors.

6. CHF allocation strategy and prioritisation: There is need for clearer, better prioritized and more targeted CHF allocations strategies, especially as the availability of funding is decreasing.

INGOS REPRESENTATIVE:


The CHF is a multi-donor pooled fund, managed by the Humanitarian Coordinator. It is used to support the timely allocation and disbursement of donor resources to the most urgent humanitarian needs and critical gaps in Sudan. The fund was born out of the Humanitarian Reform initiative of 2005, which called for improved predictability and accountability in financing for humanitarian emergencies.

The CHF is funded by UN Member States. Since its inception in 2006, eight donors have contributed more than US $1 billion to the Sudan CHF.

The CHF provides funding for UN humanitarian agencies, international non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and national NGOs. The CHF funds activities that have been identified as the most urgent and critical humanitarian needs.

The Sudan CHF has two allocation modalities:

• The Standard Allocation (which includes Special Allocations and Core Pipelines), funds projects identified in the Sudan Work Plan and prioritized by sector partners through a consultative review and ranking process. The selected projects are then defended by the sectors to the CHF Advisory Group and are recommended to the Humanitarian Coordinator for approval.

• The Emergency Reserve is used at the discretion of the Humanitarian Coordinator to respond to sudden onset and unforeseen humanitarian needs. The reserve may also be used to address critical gaps, also considered urgent. These requests are confirmed through the sector lead and undergo a due diligence review by the OCHA Humanitarian Financing Section.

The Humanitarian Coordinator is responsible for the management of the CHF and accountable for the use of the fund. The OCHA Humanitarian Financing Section provides guidance to partners in the selection of funding priorities and oversees the allocation, monitoring and reporting processes.

UNDP, through its Fund Management Unit, acts as the managing agent for NGO projects, which includes fund disbursement, capacity assessment and monitoring NGOs.

The CHF is administered by the UNDP Multi-Partner Trust Fund (MPTF), which as administrative agent is responsible for receiving funds from donors, administering and disbursing funds to UN agencies, funds and programmes, and providing consolidated annual and final financial reports.

The Humanitarian Coordinator relies upon the CHF Advisory Group to provide strategic guidance on funding decisions and advise on CHF policies. The Advisory Group is comprised of members of the humanitarian community representing donor countries, the humanitarian country team and NGOs.
