XM-DAC-6-4-012590-07-0 AICS - Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development The initiative titled M(H)IND [Mental Health INtegrated Development] aims at contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goal no. 3, in regard to its Mental Health component (Overall Objective). This takes place through the significant improvement of the mental health status and the psychological resilience among the target population (individuals suffering from psychological, neurological, and psychiatric conditions), both in the short and in the medium-to-long term, thanks to the fight of stigma, to dedicated community-based and clinical services as well to the availability of competent social and health personnel (Specific Objective). The project is carried out by Amref Health Africa, in partnership with Caritas, BBC Media Action and the University of Verona, over a period of three years. It falls into the framework of the larger mhGAP program, led by the World Health Organization (WHO) at global level, aimed at bridging the treatment gap of mental health conditions which characterizes various parts of the planet. This gap is particularly wide in fragile and post-conflict contests, such as South Sudan: the youngest nation in the world records the 4th highest suicide rate in the continent and sees a fifth of its population wither suffering or being at risk of developing psychological or psychiatric ailments. In this country the M(H)IND project represents the first initiative exclusively dedicated to the expansion of mental health services to the community, primary and secondary levels, to be fully integrated into the local health delivery system as per the vision of the Ministry of Health of South Sudan. The needs assessment carried out in 7 counties of intervention highlighted a series of problems affecting this context, after decades of conflict and instability, such as the widespread exposure and experience to phenomena of violence and deprivation, the low degree of awareness around mental health, the lack of services and personnel able to identify and treat mental health conditions, and the limited availability of information and strategic direction in this field, at institutional level. The initiative addresses the needs deriving from the above-mentioned problems by means of an integrated, multidimensional, cross-cutting approach which takes into due consideration the country’s constraints; it thus capitalizes on existing, sustainable, and fully functioning community programs and public healthcare facilities. The intervention logic foresees the achievement of three results, in the pursuit of the Specific Objective, in line with WHO recommendations pertaining to the organization of mental health care: individuals and communities; primary and secondary healthcare facilities; policy level. The first result envisions that individuals and communities can identify, refer, prevent, and provide essential care for psychological, neurological, and psychiatric conditions by the end of the project period. This is achieved through: awareness campaigns on mental health recurring to Social null Change Communication, a methodology widely tested by BBC Media Action; the training and deployment of hundreds of Boma Health Workers linked to the Boma Health Initiative of the Ministry of Health; the training and deployment of parish-based volunteers engaged by Caritas South Sudan and / or the respective dioceses for the provision of socioeconomic and psychosocial support. The latter is offered by adopting an innovative methodology for the reduction of the psychological discomfort named “Self Help Plus” (SH+), recently introduced in South Sudan, scientifically validated, and promoted by the WHO in areas characterized by severe lack of qualified social and health personnel. L’iniziativa denominata M(H)IND [Mental Health INtegrated Development] intende contribuire al raggiungimento dell’Obiettivo di Sviluppo Sostenibile no. 3 in Sud Sudan, con particolare riguardo per la componente della Salute Mentale (Obiettivo Generale). Ciò avviene mediante un significativo miglioramento dello stato di salute mentale e della resilienza della popolazione target (individui affetti da disturbi psicologici, neurologici e psichiatrici), sia nel breve che nel medio-lungo termine, ottenuto grazie ad una riduzione dello stigma, a servizi comunitari e clinici dedicati e a personale sociosanitario competente (Obiettivo Specifico). Il progetto, realizzato da Amref Health Africa, Caritas, BBC Media Action e Università di Verona nell’arco di tre anni, si inserisce nel più ampio programma mhGAP, promosso dall’OMS a livello globale, mirato a colmare il divario tra fabbisogno e disponibilità di servizi di assistenza e cura nell’ambito della salute mentale che caratterizza varie regioni del pianeta. L’entità di questo gap è considerevole in contesti fragili e post-conflitto come il Sud Sudan: 1 la nazione più giovane del mondo registra il 4° tasso di suicidio più elevato del continente, ed un quinto della popolazione è afflitta o a rischio di sviluppare disagio psicologico o disturbi psichiatrici. In questo paese M(H)IND rappresenta la prima iniziativa interamente dedicata alla all’espansione di servizi di salute mentale a livello comunitario, primario e secondario, pienamente integrata nel sistema sanitario locale in linea con la visione del Ministero della Sanità del Sud Sudan. Indagini preliminari nelle 7 contee di intervento hanno evidenziato una serie di problemi in questo contesto segnato da decenni di conflitto e instabilità, ovvero l’esposizione e l’esperienza diffusa di fenomeni di violenza e privazione, la scarsa consapevolezza riguardante la salute mentale, la carenza di servizi e di personale qualificato per l’identificazione ed il trattamento di disturbi di salute mentale, e la limitatezza di informazioni e direzione strategica a livello istituzionale nel medesimo ambito. L’iniziativa fa fronte ai bisogni che derivano dai suddetti problemi per mezzo di un approccio integrato, multidimensionale, trasversale ai differenti livelli di assistenza, che tiene conto della ristrettezza di risorse del paese e dunque ricorre all’operatività di programmi comunitari e strutture sanitarie pubbliche già esistenti e sostenibili. La logica di intervento prevede il raggiungimento di tre risultati per il perseguimento dell’obiettivo specifico, in linea con le raccomandazioni dall’OMS: livello individuale e comunitario; strutture sanitarie di primo e secondo livello; policy. Il primo risultato prevede che, al termine del periodo progettuale, individui e comunità siano in grado di identificare, riferire, prevenire e fornire assistenza di base per disturbi psicologici, neurologici e psichiatrici. Ciò si realizza mediante campagne di sensibilizzazione riguardante i temi legati alla salute mentale secondo la metodologia della Social & Behavioural Change Communication ampiamente collaudata da BBC Media Action, ’acquisizione di competenze nel suddetto ambito da parte di centinaia di Boma Health Workers afferenti alla Boma Health Initiative del Ministero della Sanità, la formazione ed il dispiegamento di volontari parrocchiali già attivi presso Caritas Sud Sudan e/o le rispettive diocesi per la fornitura di assistenza socioeconomica e psicosociale. Quest’ultima viene offerta ricorrendo ad una metodologia innovativa per la riduzione del disagio psicologico denominata “Self Help Plus” (SH+), di recente introduzione, scientificamente validata e promossa dall’OMS in aree interessate da una considerevole carenza di personale sociosanitario qualificato.

Italian Agency for Cooperation and Development The project pursues the specific objective of maximizing health integrated systems (e.g., facility-based care and community health programs), which are centered around people regardless of their risk or marginalized status, to ensure impact, resilience, and sustainability. The consortium intends to achieve this objective by improving access, fruition and quality of TB community and diagnostic services in the intervention areas, especially in favor of vulnerable and at-risk groups (Outcome 1). The initiative is articulated into 4 activities, which are designed to address the above-mentioned needs by taking into account the challenges listed earlier on. Activity 1.1 foresees the conduction of TB screening and ACF campaigns at community level, by prioritizing Key & Vulnerable Populations (KVPs). It is specific investment into ACF strategies (1st need), through which the existing community health programs are activated in order to effectively contribute to the fight against TB, by extending reach and coverage of TB case finding across the intervention areas. The prioritization of KVPs will ensure that these groups will be systematically included in outreach screening activities, thus reducing their marginalization and vulnerability towards the disease (2nd need). The activity will generate an increment of presumptive TB cases which need investigation. At this stage, Activity 1.2 kicks in. it is designed to strengthen TB diagnostic services and access to quality treatment at the targeted health facilities. Thanks to a series of actions to strengthen and streamline the collection and transportation of samples, to improve skills among clinical and laboratory staff, to uplift diagnostic quality, the targeted health facilities will be able to provide expanded and more accurate diagnostic and curative capacity (3rd need) to respond to the expected increment in presumptive TB cases generated by Activity 1.1 and by the conduction of Facility-Based ACF activities within the health centers (1st need). Overall, this will bring about an increase of TB confirmed and notified cases – which eventually will be registered and initiated on treatment. In order to further contribute to this process, Activity 1.3 will strengthen TB tracing activities, first and foremost by relying on the reach of the existing community health programs and by focusing on tracing contacts of index cases. Among the latter higher are the chances of identifying new TB cases – which, in the absence of tracing systems, would hardly be intercepted and found (1st need). Finally, Activity 1.4 comprises of impact and cost evaluations pertaining to the strategies adopted within the project. The findings of these rigorous evaluations, besides providing valuable information for a more successful implementation of the initiative as it is being carried out, will offer evidence on the convenience and effectiveness of those strategies. Hopefully this will help in securing the continuation and scale up of these interventions beyond the official end of the project. The increase in TB cases which are detected, confirmed, notified and, eventually, started on treatment will mean that local communities will have concretely benefitted from greater access to and quality of TB services (Result 1). Consequently, the TB burden will have reduced, to the benefit of the entire population (impact). The project targets the entire population residing within the intervention areas and aims at directly benefitting over 17,660 individuals. However, mentioned earlier, the consortium does prioritize specific groups which are deemed key and vulnerable (KVP) – i.e., prisoners, uniformed personnel, children. Moreover, some subactivities are earmarked to community health volunteers, health workers and laboratory technicians. L’iniziativa persegue l’obiettivo specifico di massimizzare i sistemi sanitari integrati (es. programmi di salute comunitaria e strutture sanitarie di base), che mettano al centro le persone a prescindere dalla loro situazione di rischio o di marginalità, per assicurare impatto, resilienza e sostenibilità. Il consorzio intende raggiungere tale obiettivo migliorando l’accesso, la fruizione e la qualità di servizi comunitari e diagnostici per la TBC nelle aree di intervento, in particolar modo da parte di gruppi vulnerabili e ad alto rischio (Risultato 1). L’intervento si articola in 4 attività, ideate per far fronte ai bisogni descritti in precedenza e tenendo in considerazione i problemi enunciati poc’anzi. L’Attività 1.1 promuove la conduzione di screening e campagne di ricerca attiva dei casi di TBC a livello comunitario, dando priorità a Key & Vulnerable Populations (KVPs). Si tratta di un esplicito investimento nella strategia ACF (1° bisogno), per cui si attivano i programmi comunitari esistenti affinché contribuiscano fattivamente al contrasto della TBC, estendendo il raggio d’azione e la copertura della ricerca di casi su tutto il territorio. La priorità assegnata alle KVP assicurerà che tali gruppi vengano sistematicamente inclusi nelle azioni di screening, riducendone la marginalità e la vulnerabilità nei confronti della malattia (2° bisogno). L’attività porterà ad un aumento dei casi presuntivi che necessitano di ulteriori indagini. A questo stadio interviene l’Attività 1.2, concepita per potenziare i servizi diagnostici inerenti alla TBC e l’accesso a cure di qualità presso i centri sanitari target. Grazie ad azioni che mirano a rafforzare ed efficientare la raccolta ed il trasporto dei campioni, a migliorare le competenze del personale clinico e di laboratorio, e ad elevare la qualità diagnostica, al maggior afflusso di casi presuntivi generato dall’Attività 1.1 e dalla conduzione di azioni di ACF all’interno delle strutture sanitarie (1° bisogno) si potrà rispondere con servizi diagnostici migliorati e potenziati, in grado di analizzare più casi e con maggior accuratezza (3° bisogno). Complessivamente ciò porterà ad un aumento dei casi di TBC confermati e notificati – ed eventualmente presi in carico per il trattamento. Al fine di contribuire ulteriormente a questo trend, l’Attività 1.3 intende potenziare le attività di tracciamento della TBC, in primis attraverso i programmi comunitari esistenti e concentrandosi sui contatti dei casi indice. Tra questi contatti più alte sono le probabilità di individuare nuovi casi di TBC – casi che, in assenza di tracciamento, difficilmente verrebbero intercettati (1° bisogno). Infine, l’Attività 1.4 consiste nella valutazione dell’impatto e dei costi delle strategie adottate dall’iniziativa. I risultati di queste rigorose valutazioni, oltre a fornire informazioni preziose per l’implementazione dell’iniziativa in itinere, offriranno evidenze sulla validità e convenienza degli approcci promossi, i quali – ci si augura – possano così venir mantenuti, replicati ed estesi oltre la conclusione del progetto. L’aumento previsto di casi di TBC individuati, confermati, notificati e, infine, in cura, significherà che le comunità locali avranno concretamente beneficiato di maggior accessibilità e qualità dei servizi di TBC (Risultato 1), e di conseguenza assistito ad una graduale riduzione del fardello rappresentato da questa malattia per tutta la popolazione (impatto). L’iniziativa, infatti, presenta come target l’intera popolazione delle aree di intervento e mira a beneficiare direttamente oltre 17.660 individui. Tuttavia, come anticipato, sono considerati prioritari i soggetti appartenenti a gruppi ad alto rischio e vulnerabili (KVP) - ovvero detenuti, personale delle forze armate, minori – mentre alcune azioni si rivolgeranno a volontari di comunità, personale sanitario e tecnici di laboratorio.

The proposal is aimed particularly at the most vulnerable categories of the population, such as people with disabilities, women and children, and it has been agreed upon directly with the States’ Ministries of Health, partners of the project, thanks to the long-standing presence and expertise of CBM Italy, CUAMM and CORDAID in the country. These preconditions guarantee the full endorsement of the proposal by government authorities, its alignment with the countrys thematic and geographical priorities, and its response to the needs of the area of intervention. Despite the integration of Neglected Tropical Diseases prevention policies in primary health services, the needs identified in South Sudan are still alarming: the WHO ranks South Sudan 41st out of 49 African countries in terms of coverage of health services to contrast NTDs. The 5 main and most common NTDs in the country (onchocerciasis and trachoma, lymphatic filariasis, intestinal worms and schistosomiasis) can be easily treated, and prevention is of utter importance: 90% of NTDs can be treated with basic medicines and simple screening. In the country, these infectious diseases affect the poorest and most vulnerable people living in severe poverty and in remote areas, where the availability of health services, basic hygiene resources (clean water, sanitation) is inadequate. NTDs can worsen the impact of other diseases (malaria, tuberculosis) and, if not identified in time, lead to permanent disability and blindness. In addition to NTDs, visual diseases constitute the majority (23.5%) of the most common causes of disability reported among the South Sudanese population; 80% of cases are preventable but, if left untreated, the most serious of these diseases can lead to blindness and permanent disability; not surprisingly, the most affected are the most vulnerable people. The needs identified in the South Sudanese context during the field assessments, highlighted three main problems related to the high prevalence of NTDs and visual diseases leading to disability and blindness: a) major lack of prevention and health education; b) severe shortage of primary health care and eye care services; c) total absence of specialized services addressed to the most vulnerable groups. In addition, the COVID-19 pandemic had a strong negative impact on the national health system with regard to the above-mentioned issues and harmed especially the most fragile categories. During the 3 years of implementation foreseen by the project proposal, the leading organization CBM Italy, in collaboration with CUAMM and CORDAID and the State Ministries of Health, partners of the project, intend to stregthen the South Sudanese health system, working on 3 strategic pillars to fight NTDs and promote eye health: - Health education, strengthening inclusive NTDs prevention practices in local communities, training, raising awareness and promoting COVID-19 pandemic prevention and containment interventions, under the conviction that health promotion is key to monitoring and containment. - Strengthening community health services with continued decentralization and dissemination of inclusive and accessible Eye Care and prevention services. The diffusion of proximity health services is in continuity with the strengthening of the South Sudanese health system initiated by CBM Italy in previous years and continued with CUAMM and CORDAID in the project cofunded by AICS (AID11448), improving the quality of the already existing services and extending them to new areas of the country. Il progetto ha come finalità il miglioramento dell’accesso a servizi di prevenzione delle Malattie Tropicali Neglette (NTDs) e di cura della Vista negli Stati Central Equatoria, Eastern Equatoria e Lakes, in Sud Sudan in 3 anni, in linea con il target 3.3 e 3.8 dell’Obiettivo di Sviluppo Sostenibile n.3. La proposta si rivolge in particolar modo alle categorie più vulnerabili della popolazione, quali persone con disabilità, donne e bambini, ed è stata definita direttamente con i Ministeri statali della Salute, controparti di progetto, grazie alla pluriennale partnership di CBM Italia, CUAMM e CORDAID e presenza sul territorio. Queste premesse garantiscono il pieno endorsement della proposta da parte delle autorità governative, l’allineamento alle priorità tematiche e geografiche del Paese e risposta ai bisogni della zona di intervento. In tema NTDs, nonostante l’integrazione delle politiche di prevenzione delle Malattie Tropicali Neglette (NTDs) nei servizi di salute primaria, i bisogni rilevati in Sud Sudan sono allarmanti: il WHO classifica il Sud Sudan al 41° posto, su 49 paesi africani per copertura di servizi sanitari di contrasto alle NTDs. Per le 5 principali e più comuni NTDs in Sud Sudan (oncocercosi e tracoma, filariasi linfatica, vermi intestinali e schistosomiasi) la prevenzione è di primaria importanza: il 90% delle NTDs può essere infatti trattato con screening e farmaci di base. Nel Paese queste patologie infettive colpiscono le persone più povere e vulnerabili che vivono in contesti di grande povertà e nelle zone più remote dove la disponibilità di servizi sanitari, risorse igieniche (acqua pulita, servizi igienici) è inadeguata. Le NTDs possono aumentare l’impatto di altre malattie (malaria, tubercolosi) e se non identificate per tempo portano a disabilità permanenti e cecità. Oltre alle NTDs, le altre malattie visive (come cataratta, glaucoma) sono le principali cause di disabilità tra la popolazione (23,5%). L’80% dei casi è prevenibile ma se non curate le patologie più gravi portano a cecità e disabilità, il target più colpito sono le persone più vulnerabili. I bisogni riscontrati nel contesto sud sudanese grazie al need assessment effettuato sul territorio, hanno evidenziato 3 principali problematiche legate all’alta prevalenza di NTDs e malattie visive che portano a disabilità e cecità: a) forte carenza di prevenzione ed educazione sanitaria; b) grave carenza di servizi sanitari di base e oculistici; c) totale assenza di servizi specialistici rivolti alle categorie più vulnerabili. Inoltre, la pandemia COVID-19 ha avuto un forte impatto negativo sul sistema sanitario nazionale sulle problematiche evidenziate, in particolare sulle categorie più fragili. Nei 3 anni di implementazione previsti dalla proposta, il Soggetto Proponente CBM Italia, in collaborazione con CUAMM e CORDAID e i Ministeri della Salute statali, controparti del progetto, intendono potenziare il sistema sanitario sud sudanese, lavorando su 3 pilastri strategici: • l’educazione sanitaria e il rafforzamento di pratiche di prevenzione inclusive e contrasto alle NTDs nelle comunità, attraverso formazione, sensibilizzazione e interventi di monitoraggio funzionali anche al contenimento della pandemia COVID-19. • il rafforzamento dei servizi sanitari di prossimità con il decentramento e diffusione capillare sul territorio di servizi oculistici e di prevenzione inclusivi e accessibili. L’intervento è in continuità con il potenziamento del sistema sanitario governativo iniziato da CBM Italia negli anni precedenti e proseguito con CUAMM e CORDAID nel progetto co-finanziato AICS (AID11448), la presente proposta vuole migliorare la qualità dei servizi già presenti e estenderli a nuove aree del Paese.

It is also in line with the other Objectives of the Strategy. The community has a central role in defining and implementing action (Objective 2), to improve accessibility, utilization and quality of services, providing data on their demand’s determinants. The response to malaria and its integration into the health system pass through new participatory opportunities for the population, whose possibilities of care increase with information and education (behaviour change) and the strengthening of the network of village health workers, complementing that of the health facilities. Relevant in this process is health and gender equity (Objective 3), with the overcoming of barriers that prevent women from accessing care, a step towards women's empowerment. The project is articulated on the 3 levels of the health system, with a view to its overall strengthening, as advocated by the Global Fund itself, with the training of health personnel and village health workers and a focus on the laboratory and data system. The project is built on the experience of the previous Global Fund Technical Support Spending intervention, financed by AICS and implemented by CUAMM/UNIPI in South Sudan (Western Equatoria). Relevant on that occasion was the synergy between service delivery and operational research, the latter providing an opportunity to initiate a change in services, supported by the technical and financial resources of the project itself. The same modality is proposed here, addressing the issues that emerged from the previous study, in continuity with the path undertaken then. Previous research has 1) shown high prevalence of malaria among pregnant women, and 2) found knowledge and skills gaps in health personnel, especially on diagnostics and treatment choice. The project works on these aspects, acting on the three levels of the health system and on all components of the malaria response, especially prevention, to reduce the incidence, and the adequacy of diagnosis and treatment, also to limit the development of drug resistance (the study identified several plasmodial species and drug-resistant strains). It contributes to increasing access to and use of malaria prevention services by pregnant women (Expected Result 1) and to improving the capacity of health facilities to ensure accurate diagnosis for malaria and consequently more adequate treatment (Expected Result 2), in line with the priorities of the NMSP 2021-2025. The proposal was shared with the CCM, which recognized its complementarity and integration with the Global Fund-funded South Sudan malaria response programme. The involvement of the PNCM as project partner, the focus on information and training, and the collaboration with the authorities and health staff in the field guarantee local ownership of the intervention, functional to the use of the evidence produced by the study in the decision-making process and the appropriation of the proposed measures, with a view to the sustainability of the results obtained. Il progetto concorre al 1° Obiettivo della Strategia Global Fund 2023-2028, per massimizzare il sistema sanitario integrato sudsudanese, mettendo al centro le persone per assicurare impatto, resilienza e sostenibilità (Obiettivo Specifico). È in linea anche con gli altri Obiettivi della Strategia. La comunità ha un ruolo centrale nel definire e implementare l’azione (Obiettivo 2), per migliorare accessibilità, utilizzo e qualità dei servizi, fornendo dati sui determinanti della loro domanda. La risposta alla malaria e la sua integrazione nel sistema sanitario passano da nuove opportunità partecipative per la popolazione, le cui possibilità di assistenza aumentano con informazione ed educazione (behaviour change) e il potenziamento della rete di operatori sanitari di villaggio, a completamento di quella delle strutture sanitarie. In questo processo è rilevante l’equità in salute e di genere (Obiettivo 3), col superamento delle barriere che impediscono alle donne l’accesso alle cure, passo verso l’empowerment femminile. Il progetto si articola sui 3 livelli del sistema sanitario, in funzione del suo rafforzamento complessivo, come auspicato dallo stesso Global Fund, con la formazione del personale sanitario e degli operatori sanitari di villaggio e un focus sul sistema dei laboratori e sui dati. Il progetto è costruito sull’esperienza del precedente intervento di Technical Support Spending al Fondo Globale, finanziato da AICS e implementato da CUAMM/UNIPI in Sud Sudan (Western Equatoria). Rilevante, in quella occasione, la sinergia tra service delivery e ricerca operativa, quest’ultima a costituire un’opportunità per avviare un cambiamento dei servizi, sostenuto dalle risorse tecniche e finanziarie del progetto stesso. Qui è proposta la stessa modalità, affrontando le problematiche emerse dal precedente studio, in continuità col percorso allora intrapreso. La scorsa ricerca ha 1) mostrato alta prevalenza di malaria tra le donne gravide e 2) rilevato conoscenze e competenze lacunose nel personale sanitario, specie su diagnostica e scelta terapeutica. Il progetto lavora su questi aspetti, agendo sui tre livelli del sistema sanitario e su tutte le componenti della risposta alla malaria, specie la prevenzione, per ridurre l’incidenza, e l'adeguatezza della diagnosi e del trattamento, anche per limitare lo sviluppo di farmaco resistenza (lo studio ha identificato diverse specie plasmodiali e ceppi farmacoresistenti). Si contribuisce ad aumentare l’accesso a e l’utilizzo dei servizi di prevenzione contro la malaria da parte delle donne gravide (Risultato Atteso 1) e a migliorare le capacità delle strutture sanitarie di garantire diagnosi accurata per la malaria e conseguentemente un trattamento più adeguato (Risultato Atteso 2), in linea con le priorità del NMSP 2021-2025. La proposta è stata condivisa con il CCM, che ne ha riconosciuto complementarietà e integrazione con il programma sud sudanese di risposta alla malaria finanziato da Global Fund. Il coinvolgimento del PNCM come partner di progetto, l’attenzione a informazione e formazione, la collaborazione con le autorità e gli staff sanitari in loco garantiscono la titolarità locale dell’intervento, funzionale all’uso delle evidenze prodotte dallo studio nel processo decisionale e all’appropriazione delle misure proposte, nell’ottica di sostenibilità dei risultati ottenuti.

NS is a neurological disorder from the family of epilepsy. However, clinical case management is just one within the four spheres tackled by this intervention. Rural communities in South Sudan often associate epilepsy with false myth, causing stigmatisation which eventually leads to isolation of the children from society. Therefore, the project promotes the central role of communities to positively switch the negative paradigm on NS/epilepsy into pathways to inclusion.Among these entry points, the project promotes improved food security and livelihood for the families of children with epilepsy/NS. With the purpose of enhancing sustainability, the project advocates for the absorption of integrated approaches for people with epilepsy/NS in the national health systems by collecting and sharing epidemiological data with national and global stakeholders and by stimulating the discussion in the framework of the National Task Force for Neglected Tropical Diseases. Lastly, the project includes several provisions for donor education action so to remove the layer of silence that makes epilepsy/NS a neglected condition among the communities of the former Western Equatoria State. Obiettivo specifico del progetto è dunque la risposta agli specifici bisogni sanitari e di sicurezza alimentare delle persone affette da epilessia e sindrome del nodding attraverso un'azione integrata e multisettoriale, finalizzata a rafforzare la loro resilienza e quella delle loro comunità.L'aspetto clinico-curativo è però solo una di quattro dimensioni su cui il progetto interviene. Le comunità rurali del Sud Sudan attribuiscono infatti alle forme epilettiche falsi miti che causano stigmatizzazione, che a sua volta sfocia nell'isolamento dei minori con epilessia/NS dalla società. Il progetto stimola allora il protagonismo delle comunità per cambiare il paradigma negativo sull'epilessia e il NS a favore dell'inclusività delle persone colpite, favorendo l'emersione dei casi e la presa in carico degli stessi da parte dei servizi. Nell'ottica della sostenibilità futura e dell'inclusione, il progetto prevede azioni per favorire il miglioramento delle condizioni di sicurezza alimentare delle famiglie con minori con epilessia/NS in carico, insieme al rafforzamento delle proprie capacità di sostentamento. Nuovamente, nell'ambito della sostenibilità, il progetto interviene per favorire l'assorbimento di approcci integrati al problema epidemiologico dell'epilessia/NS nell'ex Equatoria dell'Ovest attraverso la generazione di informazioni regolari sull'andamento epidemiologico nelle aree target e il supporto a momenti di confronto tecnico con i principali stakeholder nazionali e globali all'interno della Task Force nazionale per le Malattie Tropicali Neglette. In questa ultima dimensione, il progetto propone azioni di cosiddetta donor education finalizzate a sollevare il velo della negazione dal problema dell'epilessia e del nodding syndrome perché la futura programmazione del sistema sanitario nazionale del Sud Sudan ne tenga conto.

It aims to strengthen a diversified and sustainable agricultural production capacity of the women farmers of the villages of Nesitu, Mori, Mogiri, Bilinyang, Mafau, Jebel Lemon, Kodoro, Adodi, Shirkat, and Gumbo in South Sudan to improve their food security and that of their families and communities. The project area is characterized by widespread poverty and an acute food and livelihood crisis. Women farmers are the pivot of the local economy and, at the same time, the most vulnerable. Agriculture remains traditional and for subsistence use. The project focuses on strengthening the human, physical, financial, social, and natural capital of women farmers with attention to vulnerable categories. These forms of capital are absent in the project area due to the prolonged conflict and insecurity that have plagued the country. However, they represent the pillars on which their resilience to health, economic, and natural shocks rests and on which to base the reconstruction of the agricultural sector of the project area in the post-COVID-19 period. The initiative aims to contribute to Sustainable Development Goal number 2 on "End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition and promote sustainable agriculture." Specifically, it focuses on targets 2.1, 2.3, and 2.4. The project proposal is in line with the national policies of South Sudan and, in particular, those on the agricultural sector, food security, and the empowerment of women. It represents a further step in a long journey undertaken by VIDES and FVGS in South Sudan in favour of gender empowerment to develop sustainable agriculture and improve food security. These are the sectors in which all project partners have a relevant experience. The project's impact is to contribute to food security and proper human nutrition through the development of sustainable agriculture and the empowerment of female farmers. In the short and medium terms, the results of the initiative aim to achieve the outcome of increasing the resilience, productivity, and income of female-headed family farms through safe and equitable access to knowledge, factors of production, and resources. The proposed activities are organized into two outputs. The first output aims to increase the income generation capacities of beneficiary farmers through investments in female human capital in the management of the sustainable agri-food chain. There are four activities planned. First of all, a technical-professional training course in the practice of sustainable agriculture accompanies women farmers throughout the entire life of the project. This activity is integrated by a second training intervention preparatory to the creation of amicrofinance network. For the development of the agri-food model proposed by the project, constant support from institutions and the community is required. For this reason, the last two activities aim at institutional capacity building through the transfer to local stakeholders and, in particular, to the public sector, of a tool for analyzing the state of gender empowerment and the specificities of the Salesian model of sustainable agriculture. The second output aims to achieve diversified and ecologically sustainable food production at the local level through four activities. First of all, the construction of the agricultural infrastructure and the provision of technical equipment and their use for the training and production activities of women farmers and the establishment of a mango drying plant. These activities are essential for the transformation of traditional and subsistence agriculture towards early forms of marketing. The spread of agricultural practices that respect environmental resources, the promotion of the use of local seeds, the construction of works with green building criteria, and, in particular, the use of the drip irrigation system Il progetto proposto da VIDES in collaborazione con FVGS, Co.P.E., Simurg, Università di Pavia e Visitatoria AES mira a rafforzare la capacità produttiva agricola diversificata e sostenibile delle donne dei villaggi di Nesitu, Mori, Mogiri, Bilinyang, Mafau, Jebel Lemon, Kodoro, Adodi, Shirkat e Gumbo in Sud Sudan al fine di migliorare la loro sicurezza alimentare e quella delle loro famiglie e comunità. L’area geografica di intervento è caratterizzata da povertà diffusa e un’acuta crisi alimentare e dei mezzi di sostentamento. Le agricoltrici sono il perno dell’economia locale e al contempo i soggetti più vulnerabili. L’agricoltura è arretrata e di sussistenza. L’azione si concentra sul rafforzamento del capitale umano, fisico, finanziario, sociale e naturale delle agricoltrici con attenzione alle categorie vulnerabili. Queste forme di capitale sono praticamente assenti a causa del prolungato conflitto e insicurezza che hanno afflitto il paese, ma rappresentano i pilastri sui quali si poggia la loro resilienza agli shock sanitari, economici e naturali e sui quali basare la ricostruzione del settore agricolo dell’area di progetto nel periodo post-COVID-19. L’iniziativa mira a contribuire all’Obiettivo dello Sviluppo Sostenibile numero 2 “Porre fine alla fame, raggiungere la sicurezza alimentare, migliorare la nutrizione e promuovere un’agricoltura sostenibile” e, in tale ambito, si concentra sui target 2.1, 2.3 e 2.4. La proposta progettuale è in linea con le politiche nazionali del Sud Sudan e in particolare con quelle sul settore agricolo, la sicurezza alimentare e l’empowerment delle donne. Essa rappresenta una tappa di un cammino da tempo intrapreso da VIDES e FVGS onlus in Sud Sudan a favore dell’empowerment di genere per lo sviluppo di un’agricoltura sostenibile e il miglioramento della sicurezza alimentare. Settore in cui tutti i partner di progetto vantano esperienze di rilievo. L’obiettivo generale del progetto è di contribuire alla sicurezza alimentare e alla corretta nutrizione umana attraverso lo sviluppo di un’agricoltura sostenibile e l’empowerment delle agricoltrici. Nel breve e medio termine i risultati dell’iniziativa mirano a realizzare l’obiettivo specifico di aumentare la resilienza, la produttività e il reddito delle aziende familiari delle agricoltrici attraverso un accesso sicuro ed equo alle conoscenze, ai fattori di produzione e alle risorse. Le attività proposte si articolano in due risultati. Il primo risultato è volto ad aumentare le capacità di generazione del reddito delle agricoltrici beneficiarie mediante investimenti sul capitale umano femminile nella gestione della filiera agroalimentare sostenibile. Quattro sono le attività previste. Anzitutto, un corso di formazione tecnico-professionale alla pratica di un’agricoltura sostenibile che accompagni le agricoltrici durante l’intera vita del progetto. Tale attività è affiancata da un secondo intervento formativo propedeutico alla realizzazione di una rete di microfinanza. Per lo sviluppo del modello agroalimentare proposto dal progetto è necessario il costante supporto da parte delle istituzioni e della comunità. Per questa ragione le ultime due attività mirano all’institutional capacity building attraverso il trasferimento agli stakeholder locali e, in particolare, al settore pubblico, di uno strumento per l’analisi dello stato dell’empowerment di genere e delle specificità del modello Salesiano di agricoltura sostenibile. Il secondo risultato mira a realizzare una produzione alimentare diversificata ed ecologicamente sostenibile a livello locale attraverso quattro attività. Anzitutto, la realizzazione dell’infrastruttura agricola e fornitura di mezzi tecnici e loro uso per le attività di formazione e produzione delle agricoltrici e la realizzazione e messa in produzione di un impianto per l’essicazione del mango.
