South Sudan - Report on Rapid Appraisal in Kodok Town, Fashoda, Upper Nile, March 2018

A multi sectorial team visited Kodok town for a day, arriving via river from Malakal. The team was composed by WFP (VAM, nutrition and programme), WOCO (Protection) and WVSS (WASH). The findings are based on focus group discussions (FDG) with men and women from the affected community and key informant interviews with local authorities, health officials and NGO staff in the area. The team members first met with the local authorities, including the RRC, the County Commissioner and the State Governor for introduction and discussion on general information about the area which forms the background of this report.Due to the nature of the rapid appraisal, it is not possible to have in-depth and statistically representative results on the situation in terms of food security, livelihoods and nutrition (including anthropometric measurements), as well as WASH and protection. However, the report still provides some indicative results for a better understanding of the situation in this community, and to be the basis of a response analysis.
