  1. Food Security and Livelihoods and Nutrition cluster linkages 18th July 2014 Juba

  2. Needs: • The updated IPC has indicated that 3.9 million people are projected to be being in crisis and emergency phases: • 2.6 million in crisis • 1.3 m in emergency • In addition, 3,3 m are classified in stress

  3. Cluster strategy: • Based on the IPC results, the cluster should be looking at: • 1. Ensure access to food for the population in the IPC Emergency phase and a portion of those in Crisis • 2. Support livelihoods for the population in the IPC Crisis phase and a portion of the population in Emergency and boost production to improve general availability of food, including livestock products. • The overarching priority for the cluster is to ensure and protect immediate access to food and prevent the collapse of livelihoods among the most vulnerable households, such as those headed by women or children. • The cluster will also help crisis-affected communities to maintain and recover their coping mechanisms as quickly as possible while protecting livelihood systems in areas that are indirectly affected by the crisis.

  4. Cluster targets .

  5. Cluster achievements: .

  6. Cluster structure: . • 1 Cluster leads: WFP FAO • 2 cluster co coordinators WFP and FAO and one cluster co-chair: MC • 1 IM plus 2 assistants • 1 M&E • 4 area cluster coordinators • 4 working groups

  7. Constraints and Challenges: Access to most affected areas Humanitarian deliveries may require the support of armed escorts or escalating costs due to elevated risk taken by transporters. If insecurity remains widespread through large swathes of the country, there will be a dramatic increase in costs due to a greater reliance on air transport – something that is already anticipated given the nature of the rainy season. En enabling and secure working environment on the ground for both stocks and aid workers needs to be ensured

  8. Opportunities with the Nutrition cluster: Partners Targeted areas/beneficiaries Nutrition sensitive programming (distribution of crops and vegetables seeds nutritionally enriched. Extra calories for pregnant and lactating mother) Utilization of food : nutrition messaging Importance of WASH and nutrition treatment. FSMS data and IPC Common behaviour messaging Common advocacy messages
