Resilient development: Resilient development means providing children and families with what they need to
better prepare for and manage crises, and recover from them more rapidly. (UNICEF)
Hazard: A dangerous phenomenon, substance, human activity or condition that may cause loss of life, injury or other health
impacts, property damage, loss of livelihoods and services, social and economic disruption and/or environmental damage.
Stress: Similar to a shock, a stress is a longer-term trend that undermines the potential of a given system and
increases the vulnerability of actors within it.
Shock: A sudden and potentially damaging hazard or other phenomenon. A shock can also refer to the moment at
which a slow-onset process (a stress) passes its ‘tipping point’ and becomes an extreme event.
Resilience: The ability of a system, community or society exposed to hazards to resist, absorb, adapt to and recover
from the effects of a hazard in a timely and efficient manner, including through the preservation and restoration of
its essential structures and functions.
Recovery: The restoration, and improvement where appropriate, of the facilities, livelihoods and living conditions
of disaster-affected communities, including efforts to reduce disaster risk factors.
Vulnerability: This is defined as the characteristics and circumstances of individual children, households or communities
that make them particularly susceptible to the damaging effects of a shock or stress. (Adapted by UNICEF)

3. WHY INTEGRATED WASH AND NUTRITION PROGRAMMING IN SOUTH SUDAN?
High GAM and SAM rates in most of the counties. (Gogrial West, 26.6%)
To break the diarrhea - Nutrition vicious cycle
Sustainable improvements in undernutrition cannot be achieved without complementary WASH interventions
Integrated programming maximizes opportunities and can create efficiencies.
It is in line with key national and donor priorities and strategies

4. Note that pathways are divided into 2 main paths 1) via disease and/or infection, 2) via high work load (mainly for women) in accessing water for the HH

5. WASH’ Nutrition Strategy
Detailed WASH’ Nutrition country strategy developed by Action Against Hunger and validated by Cluster. Nutrition indicators are incorporated for HRP 2019.
Collaborative Efforts
Detailed assessment of Nutrition sites for WASH facilities availability by Nutrition and WASH Cluster.
Phased Approach
A phased approach towards enhanced integration between WASH and Nutrition Sectors that include services at Community and Nutrition site level, Joint planning and Monitoring, capacity building and Integrated programming

6.  WASH package for Nutrition
Primary actions for WASH in Nutrition include ensuring WASH hardware meets SPHERE standards for health facilities with OTP or TSFP; providing WASH NFIs to families with children in TSFP (the minimum package includes only OTP).
 WASH in Communities
Wash services extended to communities of catchment areas of OTP/TSFP sites, considering malnutrition cases as key selection criteria.

7. Local Capacity Building
Training and sensitizing of local community volunteers, MtMSG for Nutrition and WASH linkages and promotion of Nutrition and Hygiene messages.
WASH in Schools
There are opportunities for Secondary actions for WASH Nutrition at schools which could follow a similar approach of delivering an integrated package of services and BCC.
Nutrition Sensitive WASH
For nutrition sensitive WASH this includes Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and School-Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) as well as potentially developing specific programmes to target Baby WASH.

8. Phased Implementation
Integrated services at household and community level
