Nutrition Survey Consultant

The International Rescue Committee (IRC) responds to the world’s worst humanitarian crises and helps people to survive and rebuild their lives. Founded in 1933 at the request of Albert Einstein, the IRC offers lifesaving care and life-changing assistance to refugees forced to flee from war or disaster. At work today in over 40 countries and 22 U.S. cities, we restore safety, dignity and hope to millions who are uprooted and struggling to endure. The IRC leads the way from harm to home.

The Republic of South Sudan (RSS) came into existence on 9 July 2011. Decades of conflict causing erosion of physical and social infrastructure and death and displacement of millions of people have made South Sudan one of the most underdeveloped regions in the world. Poverty is widespread. Just over half (51%) of the 8.3 million South Sudanese live below the national consumption poverty line, most in rural areas (92.5%). Of the 1.4 million people who live in urban areas 24% are below the national consumption poverty line.

The Republic of South Sudan has 10 states among these NBeG and Unity states are part of states in RSS.  Northern Bahr el Ghazal State, are situated along the contentious border area between Sudan and South Sudan. Between January 2012 and April 2013, NBeG state received 14,024 returnees, representing nearly 15% of all returnees in the country. During the same period, Unity State received 15,198 returnees representing 18% of total returnees (IOM, May 2013). In 2014, it is estimated that an additional 16,585 returnees are anticipated in NBeG and Unity States (South Sudan CAP Planning Figures, 2014). Returnees are a particularly vulnerable group, often living in temporary settlements far from existing health facilities and in food insecure locations, exposing them to serious health risks and malnutrition.

The major drivers of malnutrition in South Sudan include continued high food insecurity due to droughts and poor farming practices, infection, suboptimal infant and young child feeding practices, floods and population displacement due to inter-tribal conflicts and a small proportion of returnees.

A recent 2013 pre-harvest nutrition surveyconducted in selected counties of the country showed global acute malnutrition surpassing the emergency threshold (>15%) and very high severe acute malnutrition ranging between 3% to 7%. Without interventions targeted at vulnerable groups in the population, high mortality is expected, especially among children under five.

In Aweil South, the 2012 SMART Survey conducted by Action Against Hunger (ACF USA) found that Aweil South is characterized by high global (18.7%) and severe acute malnutrition rates (2.7%). There has not been a standard nutrition survey conducted in Panyijar county of Unity State.  

The International Rescue Committee is one of the partners providing Community Case Management for three major illnesses (Malaria, Diarrhea, and pneumonia) through Community interventions to tackle child survival and support Primary Health Care services.
