Introduction BSF Basic Services Fund of the Government of South Sudan (BSF) established in 2006 to manage funds for the various phases: 2
BSF-IA Financial Envelope Steering Committee’s allocation target : • 46% to PH • 27% PE • 27% WASH After budget re-allocations, the actual allocation is : • PH : 47.4% : GBP 18,934,736 • PE : 23.8% : GBP 9,504,047 • WASH : 21.7% :GBP 8,688,431 BSF-IA financial envelope £39,970,000 4
Fund Management – Key issues – (1/2) • Month grant invoices in-arrears (pros and cons) • Relatively short grant periods : • BSF-1 originally 18 months and extended with 6 months • BSF-2 : 24 months • BSF –IA lasted 1-18 months • BSF-IA extention : 12 months • A two-step audit : • Step 1: 9 month’s audit which includes a management letter • Step 2: at the end for all eligible expenses for a final audit report • Closing down period of two months is too short 10
Fund Management – Key issues –(2/2) • Budget re-allocations (In BSF-IA Total 1.5 m 27 times funds were reallocated due to (mainly) insecurity or management issues. • Maximum reallocation was for CMS I received GBP 387K and PSI had to return GBP 312K • Relative intensive monitoring (94 field trips, 559 invoices was in BSF-IA , 38 Audits conducted of which 68% without problems and only GBP 32,379 returned of which 36% was of 1 NGO) • Last but not least : donors and service providers adhered to payment schedules. 11

Security Issues (1/2) • Numerous security crisis affected grant implementation in BSF-IA : • The most recent (end March 2012) in Unity affects CARE’s operation (evacuation) in Guit, Parian, Mayiandit and Rubkona • Inter tribal clashed in Jonglei (since Dec 2011), affected IRD’s and IMC’s operations • CCM ‘s intervention was affected by inter-clan skirmishes in Warrap (August 2011 and January 2012). 15
Security Issues (2/2) NGO’s crisis preparedness (frequent evacuations, re-deployments and crisis management) were effective. NGO’s assisted with budget reallocations (reduce targets in insecure locations in favour of more accessible ones). As a result the fund met most of its implementation targets. 16
Distribution of Education projects at the close of BSF-IA 11 grant recipients: 9.5m Burn rate: 99% 17
BSF-IA PE Training Achievements • 2012 teachers trained through pre-service, in-service and English language courses. • 99% of targeted trainees • Coverage across all 10 States • 617 Government officials trained. • Support to CEDs • Leader in school inspection training 18

BSF-IA PE Lessons Learnt • Working with local partners increases long term sustainability • Community ownership • Value for Money • Ability to deliver in difficult circumstances • Pre-service vs. In Service teacher training • Issues of Qualifications • Standardization of trainings • Beyond BSF • Reality: 2012 trained over grant cycle. • Sustainability and future funding 20
PH Construction of PHCC and PHCU per end 2011 • BSF-IA completed new construction of : • 8 PHCC (target 10) & 3 still under construction (at 80%) and expected to be completed in • BSF-IAe • 28 PHCU (target 40) & 8 still under construction • Target reduced to 36 due to insecurity in Unity • Mayom (MSI: -3 PHCU) and in Jonglei, Akobo • (IMC: -1 PHCU). 22

PH Consultations per end 2011 • BSF-IA achievement of 1.5 million consultations Can be compared with a target of 760,000 for 2012 ( based on a utilization rate –SSDP of 0.4) • Over the BSF period (2006-2011): 2.7 million consultations • In the same order of magnitude of SSDP’s 2013 target of 40% of the population with access to primary health. 24
PH Immunization per end 2011 • 44,564 children <1year immunization (DPT3) Estimated coverage of 34% and should be compared with: • SHHS (2006) record of 20% • SHHS (2010) of 14% • SSDP (2013) target of 70% 25
Maternal Mortality Rate • BSF logframe’sbaseline (1999) : 1,500/100,000 livebirthwith a target of 25% reduction (MMR at 1125) by Dec 11. • To be compared with: • SHHS (2006) : 2054/100,000 livebirth, • MNRH (2009/2012) baseline: 2054 with a target of 1300 (2012) and 1040 (2015). In the absence of updated information on MMR, “birth attendance by skilled health personnel” can also be used to measure progress towards improving Maternal Health. 26
Assisted Births • BSF-IA proportion of all births assisted by skilled health workers was 0.8 or less than one percent. Skilled health staff: Midwives, nurses, clinical officers, doctors. • Of all expected deliveries 18% was skilled assisted (facility and home deliveries) • To be compared with: • - BSF (2006) and JAM (2005) baselines of 5% • - SSDP baseline (2010) of 15% • - SSDP 2013 target of 40%. 27

Water points achievements (1/2) Water points : Cumulative Results • Based on 500 beneficiaries per water point 31
Water points achievements (2/2) Water points : Main conclusions • Above target for the total number of water points • For the whole BSF period : 1,091 boreholes • Over 6 years, 20% of the BSF payam population • catchment has gained access to drinking water • GoSS target: 40% over 10 years (24% over 6 years) • Question : Are the boreholes still operational ? 32
WASH lessons learned • Main Lesson learned Water : • Introduction of independent supervision of the construction : impact will be assessed • Rehabilitation and repair is cheaper than drilling new boreholes • A survey of the status of previous boreholes built will be executed as part of of BSF-IAe 33
Sanitation achievements (1/2) Sanitation : Cumulative results • 5 beneficiaries per household latrine • 50 beneficiaries per cubicle for institutional latrine 34
Sanitation achievements (2/2) Sanitation : Main Conclusions • Institutional Latrines : 95% of the target • Household Latrines : target not achieved : • Introduction of new approach: CLTS • Some NGOs promoted construction by the Communities take more time • Over 3 years (BSF-2 and BSF-IA), 3% of the BSF Payam based catchment population got access to improved sanitation • GoSS target : 8% per year 35
WASH lessons learned • Main Lessons learned Sanitation : • CLTS implemented by some NGOs on pilot areas : proved to be successful as : • more involvement of the community (in the design of the latrines + the construction) • But much more time consuming as it requires behaviour changes and cultural awareness 36
