Prelude to Partnership for Recovery and Resilience ( PfRR )

1. Prelude to Partnership for Recovery and Resilience (PfRR)

2. EXPECTATIONS • How to move beyond identification of an issue • How to secure partnership to respond to conflict sensitivities • How to engage with the PfRR • Understanding the Resilience Profiles • How are the PfRR processes, structures and coordination mechanisms operating at Juba and field levels and also between them? • Do these processes make PfRR more effective? • One-Stop-Shop for PfRR – Coordination • Common understanding of PfRR vision, goals- Pillars and the building blocks. • How much effort is required to be able to realize PfRR Goal(s)?

3. Alarming Trends: Conflict, violence Perception of shocks from FSMS Evidence Insecurity, violence and lack of movement What is missing? Violence (crimes, cattle radingetc)

4. Alarming Trends: GDP Growth • Heavy reliance on oil. • In recent years, decline in global oil and reduction in oil production preceding the outbreak of civil war by end of 2013. • Sharp decline in GDP Source: Trade Economics; National Bureau of Statistics, South Sudan

5. Alarming Alarming Trends: IPC: IPC National Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) Trends (Sept 2014 to Sept 2018) • Overall, the proportion of people facing severe food insecurity (Phase 3 or worse) in South Sudan has increased from 19 percent in September 2014 to 58 percent in September 2018 • The absolute number of food insecure peaked in 2017 and 2018.

6. A Call to Action – The Downward Spiral of Vulnerability IPC Projection for February, 2018 IPC February 2017 Minimal Stressed Crisis Emergency Famine

7. PfRR Vision To simultaneously resolve the political impasse, deal with increasing humanitarian needs, and build the resilience of citizens, communities and institutions

8. PfRR Outcomes Reduced vulnerability increased resilience inclusive, secure, and cohesive communities that are healthy, capable, and productive

9. PfRR Commitments Stop the trend of increasing vulnerability Work together across peacebuilding-humanitarian- development efforts to meet basic needs and protect coping capacities Improve coordination, collaboration and strategic integration Advance comprehensive frameworks and partnerships in selected geographic areas Scale up delivery of integrated efforts in selected geographic areas Enhance mutual accountability and learning

10. The FourPillars

11. PfRR best practice Colocation Geographical Selection The Four Guiding Principles for determining what Partnership Areas to focus on include the following • Peace and accessibility (6-12 months of stability) • Business hub (presence of markets, potential traders and small enterprises) • Agricultural-productive areas • Diverse populated areas (over 6000 inhabitants) • Linked to major road network • High return areas (IDPs & Refugees) • Community buy-in PFRR • Presence of local and international partners Commitment among local partners to organize themselves for engagement Potential to leverage resources for impact Existing footprint and inclusive engagement by partners among local authorities and civil society Local ownership and commitment to peace and recovery

Third Cornerstone: Institutional Architecture for Resilience (IA4R) and Activity Mapping Pillar 1:Trust in People and Institutions Pillar 4:Nurturing Partnerships First Cornerstone:Program Framework and Inclusive Champions Group Pillar 3:Strengthening Productive Capacities Pillar 2:Restoring Access to Basic Services Fourth Cornerstone: Commitments and Coordination Plan Second Cornerstone: Resilience Profile and Joint Work Planning (JWP) Scaling Resilience Solutions • Partners are innovating as they prove what works and doesn’t work, and scald the most sustainable solutions for resilience. In the process, communities are recovering as people become less vulnerable and more resilient. • The community in Yambio was ready to make peace from within and work together. • Trust and dialogue lay the foundation of Partnership and made deeper engagement with the international partners possible. • Partners continue to enhance coordination, collaboration and coordination through community-based M&E, learning, and story-telling, all centered on resilience. • The partners made mutual commitments to strengthen the environment for Partnership and developed a Coordination Plan to make sure investments were used in a manner that was both smart and efficient. • The partners forms a Technical Engagement Group (TEG) and introduced the Program Framework. • An Inclusive Champions Group (ICG) emerged to spearhead the Partnership. • The capacity to provide basic services is now being built as the partners operationalize the Joint Work Plan. • Resilience Profiles provided the evidence base for a Joint Work Plan based on common results, indicators, baselines and benchmarks. • The Community is strengthening farming, livestock and the private sector. • An Institutional Architecture assessment identified the most important capacities for community-based service delivery while activity mapping showed what the best possibilities for colocation, coordination and collaboration were in targeted bomas (municipalities).
