IOM RESPONSE

CAMP COORDINATION AND CAMP MANAGEMENT

The Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster works to facilitate the effective and targeted delivery of life-saving services to IDPs in displacement sites and ensure that basic humanitarian living conditions are provided, while also building the foundations for voluntary return and recovery interventions where it is possible and safe to do so. IOM and UNHCR co-lead the CCCM Cluster, in coordination with ACTED. IOM continues to act as CCCM state focal point in Upper Nile, Jonglei, West Bahr el Ghazal and Warrap.

SITe DeveLopmenT, expanSIon anD ImprovemenT

malakal poCRelocation to the new PoC site started on 31 May, and as of 6 June, 4,542 individuals have been safely transferred to the new PoC. The relocation of families to the new site was prioritized based on vulnerability, special needs and current living conditions. The new site is divided into three sectors and each sector is divided into blocks, so that people can be moved according to their family and neighbourhood structures. CCCM and Protection teams will jointly monitor each block, and regular meetings will be held with residents and community leaders, to explain to them the overall relocation plan and to ensure their collective participation throughout the process. Seven communal latrine blocks have been completed in sector three and work is ongoing in
