1. Introduction

On December 15, 2013, violent clashes erupted in South Sudan. The violence rapidly

deteriorated into a full-out conflict spreading to the eastern states of the county. The

conflict adopted inter-ethnic violence, with forces from different tribes engaged in the violence along traditional conflict lines. The conflict in South Sudan has displaced over 2.3

million South Sudanese, out of which, more than 600,000 took refuge in neighboring

countries1. People from the Greater Upper Nile (GUN) region (Jonglei, Unity and Upper

Nile States) have been most severely affected. As a result, as of September 2015, 3.9

million people (3.1 million in Crisis and 800,000 in Emergency) or 34% of the population

are considered as severely food and nutrition insecure and are unable to meet their food

needs in September2.

The Shelter and Non-Food Items Cluster, which was launched in South Sudan in 2011, acts

as a coordinating mechanism of partner organizations working to provide life-saving

households items and shelter materials to conflict and disaster affected people in South

Sudan. The Cluster is led by IOM at the national level with the support of World Vision as

Co-Lead. There are 16 partners in the 2016 Cluster Response Plan, many of whom have the

capacity to respond rapidly with mobile teams to needs across the country, and others with

static presence in strategic locations that are often inaccessible. Thus far in 2015, Cluster

partners have served 138,629 households with NFI and 34,928 households with shelter

materials. These achievements represent 96% and 115% of the respective targets in the

revised Cluster Response Plan for 20153.

The CHF NFI project/round II/ has provided support for the IDPs and host population in

vulnerable situations as affected by the crisis in South Sudan through the provision of

lifesaving Non Food Items (NFIs). The project targeted 44,035 vulnerable individuals

(8,861 households), comprising of 11,007 men, 15,412 women and 17,616 children

affected by the conflict. The majority of the IDPs (34,054 individuals) and host population

are in the Greater Upper Nile Region and Jonglei, which were severely affected by the

crisis that started in mid-December 2013.

This document highlights the PDM report of Non Food Items Response for vulnerable

population affected by conflict in South Sudan project, conducted in Tonj East County in

Warrap State. World Vision South Sudan, Quality Assurance team has led and coordinated

this internal PDM survey conducted in Tonj East, Warrap State, with the support of CHF

NFI team in the field.

1.2 Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) Objectives

Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) is the process of evaluating the non-food items/NFI/

after it has finished, improving interventions in the future. And, the main purpose of

Classification, South Sudan, August-September 2015 3 Shelter NFI Cluster Snapshot, 2015

carrying out Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) is to determine among other issues, the

level of satisfaction and usage of NFIs distributed. This will be to compliment the Onsite

Distribution Monitoring (OSDM) exercise.

The main objective of this PDM was to review the CHF NFI project/round II/ distributions

according to the three parameters of the OECD-DAC4 criteria, mentioned below:

1. Effectiveness (to what extent did the activity achieve its purpose? Was the

distribution carried out in the timely manner?

2. Appropriateness (was the distribution tailored to local needs?)

3. Coverage (Did the distribution reach major population groups facing life-

threatening suffering wherever they are?)

1.3 Scope of the PDM

The CHF NFI project has been implemented in Upper Nile, Jongeli and Warrap states

since August 1, 2015 and the project was ended on February 29, 2016. However, this

PDM exercise focused only in Tonj East County in Warrap state, based on the NFI

distribution conducted on December 2015.

2. PDM Approach and Methodology

The implementation of PDM review was achieved by using a combination of both

qualitative and quantitative data collection tools including HH questionnaire, Key

Informant Interviews (KIIs), Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), observations and review of

secondary information.

2.1 Desk Review

The desk review gathered all key documentation relating to the project intervention. Key NFI

documents (project proposal, ES & NFI distribution reports, ITT, etc.) were reviewed to derive

understanding of the response, as well as to measure the achievements against the project

objectives.

2.2 Sampling Methodology for Quantitative data collection method/Household

Questionnaire/

The DME/QA team used the WVSS and South Sudan NFI Cluster guidelines for PDMs

and questionnaires to collect data at the household level. A 2-stage cluster sampling

methodology was used in selecting respondents/households/ in Tonj East County in Warrap

state. The first level determined the locations in which the survey has taken place and the

second identified the households to be interviewed. Raosoft( http://

www.raosoft.com/samplesize.html ) was used to calculate the sample size. The sample

size, which was calculated, considering a margin of error 5%, ( 95% confidence level), a

population size of 503 HH, which represent the total estimate number of households for

Tonj East county in Warrap state and 50% for response distribution, was 219 HHs. An

additional 20% of the households were also included to allow for an increased level of

precision by accounting for false respondents or spoiled questionnaires therefore increasing

the number to 263 households.

The HH questionnaire was programmed to ODK to collect data using smart phones and

tablets. Prior to quantitative data collection, the QA/DME team trained enumerators for one

day on how to conduct the data collection using smart phones and tables, interviewing

skills, data and collection tools. The questionnaires were also pre-tested prior to data

collection. Data collection conducted in three payams, namely Ngapkok, Paweng and

Paliang from February 25-29, 2016. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for

the Social Science (SPSS) software.

2.3 Focus Group Discussions (FGDs)

The purpose of the focus group discussions was to collect qualitative data that helped to

answer the particular questions set by the PDM in are areas of appropriateness,

effectiveness and coverage. They were also intended to triangulate data gained from other

sources. Target groups for FGDs were beneficiary men, women and children in Tonj East

County. Each FGD was composed of 6-12 people. The total numbers of FGDs, conducted

in Tonj East County were 6 (3 women groups and 3 men groups). And all FGD groups

were selected purposefully in collaboration with CHF NFI project team in the field

2.4 Key Informant Interview (KII)

Key informant interviews were intended to gather important information about the

intervention throughout the project cycle to address the questions the PDM seeks to

answer. The following key informants were selected and interviewed during the PDM

survey in Tonj East: RRC Head, Executive Director, representing County Commissioner,

Payam Administrator, Deputy Payam Administrator, Head Chief, and Chief Representative

of the elders.

The main findings of the PDM study are presented below in six sections: beneficiary

details, displacement details, NFI details, effectiveness, appropriateness and coverage

3.1 Beneficiary Details

The mean of the household size at the time of registration is the same as at PDM i.e 7.6.

This shows there is no major difference between the number of household size at the time

of registration and at PDM.

Among the total respondents,

70%/165/ were female household

heads while the remaining 30%/71/

were male headed households.

Figure 6: Households response on the quality of NFI kits received

As table 6 and figure 6 shows, most of the respondents mentioned that the quality of the

NFI kits is good. However, 38.8%, 20.5%, 15.2%, 17.9% and 9.1% of respondents

mentioned that the quality of plastic sheets, mosquito nets, blankets, half kitchen sets and

soaps are not good respectively. Here are some of the reasons for poor quality: the items

are not original, not durable or staying longer, the size is small.

The following graph shows on the households’ response on the purpose of NFI kits

received on December 2015

3.4 Effectiveness

As most of the respondents witnessed that they received NFI on December 2015 and

distribution was conducted at the end of December 2015. People were also requesting

World Vision to provide more NFIs again. The Key informants also told that beneficiaries

received the items after two months after the crisis.

They also responded that education was given to beneficiaries on how to use the items

distributed. But, it was not exhaustive and more education is needed for beneficiaries on

the use of those non-food items. The beneficiaries also explained that they heard the

registration from the government representatives and World Vison South Sudan staff.

Asked about whether needs assessment has been done or not, they responded that the

government representatives had come to their areas in order to assess the needs of those

households, who were affected by the crisis.

As most of the households’ responded, humanitarian organization, chiefs, community

leaders, church and SSRRC are the main sources of information about the

registration/distribution of NFIs.

Most of the FGDs also responded that they heard distribution details from the chiefs and

the RRC. The information was given 2 days in advance. However, as some of the

households told, two days in advance were not enough to inform the beneficiaries about

the distribution and beneficiaries should be informed early. The information flow for

distribution was as follows: World Vison informed RRC about the distribution, RRC

informed Payam administrators and Payam administrators to community leaders. Finally,

community leaders informed households. Therefore, the targeting beneficiaries were

informed about the distribution through the RRC to community leaders then to the

community members.

As the pie-chart graph

shows, 42.6% of households

have to wait on the queue

for 2-6 hours to receive

non-food items, followed by

28.9% of households wait

on the queue for 7 hours-1

day. 21.2% of the

households wait in the

queue for less than 2 hours.

Desperately, 6.5% of the

households wait in the

queue overnight- came back

the next day.

Figure 8: Waiting time in the queue to receive NFIs

Page 15: POST DISTRIBUTION MONITORING (PDM) REPORT, TONJ …shelter-nfi.iomsouthsudan.org/sites/default/files/documents/Tonj... · POST DISTRIBUTION MONITORING (PDM) REPORT, TONJ EAST,

15

Some of the FGD respondents also mentioned that they spent 2 hours on queue during

distribution, while some others told, they were queuing 2-6 hours to receive NFI items. The

distribution took 2 days and beneficiaries received the NFIs after 2-6 hours.

There was no any problem during the distribution time and the distribution was done

properly, timely and peacefully. There was beneficiaries’ distribution lists used during the

distribution and the distribution did not cause any problems. In general, the distribution was

organized peacefully and there is no any problem with the community. There is no any

angry or upset on the community about the distribution.

Plastic sheets, blankets, half kitchen set, mosquito nets, mat and jerricans are some of the

non-food items most of the households received. And, all materials are very useful and

helped the people in the critical time. Especially, the mosquito nets prevented them from

mosquitoes bite.

3.5 Appropriateness

Asked about whether the items you received durable, of good quality and useful, they

mentioned that some of the items like blankets and kitchen sets are durable, while others

like mosquito nets, collapsible jerricans and sleeping mats are not durable. The quality of

the materials is good and the beneficiaries are happy with the items. But, they are not

enough.

The non-food items did not meet their needs because they are not enough since it was given

only once per household. It was also mentioned that, the non-food items were ok, but there

should be food distribution before the non-food items. Some of the respondent also

mentioned that they have not received soaps yet and soaps should have been part of the

non-food items. Half kitchen sets, blankets and mosquito nets are not damaged and they are

using these items currently.

Asked about what you would have done if you did not receive NFI or shelter material in the

distribution, most of the respondents mentioned that there is no anywhere to find the non-

food items or materials when they were not distributed.

Figure 9: Non-food items that households urgently needed at the time of distribution

As the above graph shows, 47.9% of households responded that there are non-food items

that they urgently needed at the time of distribution, but that they did not receive, while

51% said they are not any non-food items urgently needed at the time of distribution, but

that they did not receive. Soaps, cloths, big sleeping mats and tents are some of the most

urgently needed, but not received non-food items by the households

3.6 Coverage

Asked about the targeting criterion to determine the beneficiaries, most of the key

informants responded that those households, whose houses were burnt during the crisis,

were the first priorities for the non-food items distribution. Burnt families considered first

before other considerations. And, all were informed about these criteria. There was also

evidence of the burnt down houses and SRRC has seen the families, whose houses were

burnt. So, items were given to those people whose houses were burnt. Selection was strictly

for those households whose houses are burnt down. Therefore, families, with burnt houses

were targeted for the non-food items. This is because they cannot do anything without

those items.

The criteria were decided by WVI, UNOCHA, SSRRC, IOM, NRC and UNICEF.

However, community leaders and RRC should be the ones doing the decision making.

NGOs, Commissioner, RRC and Payam administrators are decision makers for setting

criteria. All beneficiaries were informed about the targeting criteria and nothing was paid

for registration. The criterion was explained to the communities. The non-beneficiaries

were told about the criteria, but they are still complaining. Looted houses were told that

they cannot receive the NFI. The one whose houses were burnt got but the stolen /looted

houses/families missed out. Some people missed out because the non-food items were not

enough. So, due to less non-food items, some of the registered people did not receive it.

As the KII confirmed, the distribution reached to the right people since the distribution

targeted those families, whose houses were burnt. And, they were verified and registered.

The communities also witnessed the distribution reached to the right people. Host

communities did not receive NFIs. There was no assessment for them. .

Figure 10: Households’ responses whether the items received meet their needs or not

More than half of the respondents (61.6%) told that the non-food items received at the time

of distribution meet their needs, while 37.3% of households responded that the non-food

items received at the time of distribution do not meet their needs

Agricultural tools, seeds, schools, health facilities and water points are some of the needs of

the displaced people in addition to non-food items. Many people did not receive the items

because the NFI were not enough. Some of the people did not get items during the

distribution. The one whose houses were burnt got NFIs but the stolen /looted

houses/families missed out.

5. Conclusions and Recommendations

5.1 Conclusions

The main objective of this PDM was to review the CHF NFI project/round II/ distributions

in Tonj East, Warrap, according to the three parameters of the OECD-DAC criteria,

namely, effectiveness, appropriateness and coverage.

Household questionnaire and qualitative data collections tools (Key Informant Interviews,

Focus Group Discussions, observation) and review of secondary data were used for this

PDM. Data collection in the field was carried out through household interview, key

Informant interviews, focus group discussions and observations of NFIs at household level.

The findings provide useful information on the effectiveness, appropriateness and coverage

of the CHF NFI project and cluster partners can consider the findings of the PDM and take

the best practices and lessons learned in to account for future programming.

5.2 Recommendations

The following points are recommended based on the major findings of the PDM conducted

Effectiveness:

The current NFIs are not enough and more items are needed to address the need of

those crisis affected/displaced community groups.

Education should be given for beneficiaries on how to use the non-food items

effectively and efficiently.

Distribution date should be communicated properly to all beneficiaries as earliest as

possible. Beneficiaries should be informed early as two days are not enough

Appropriateness:

Provide durable items to the crisis affected/displaced population for the next

distribution. Mosquito-nets, collapsible jerricans and sleeping mats are durable and

the beneficiaries need long lasting non-food items.

Consider provision of food assistance for those crisis affected people as food

assistance is the first priority and non- food items comes later.

Improve on the size of the sleeping mats

Consider the family sizes of the household for distribution of NFIs

Community leaders should be participated in the assessment and NGOs should not

do the assessment alone without guidance from the community leaders. Involve

community leaders in the assessment.

Non- durables are mosquito nets, collapsible jerricans and sleeping mats and are not

in good quality.

Recommendations on Coverage

Provide more non-food items to crisis affected communities. Bring more NFI so

that looted families can also get the items.

Youths should not do registration and verification.

Bring the non-food items for the people who missed in the distribution.

Community leaders and RRC should be the ones doing the decision making.

Devise an integrated project in the area to fulfill the demand of communities on

food, agricultural tools, seeds and water
