1. Background:

The people of Blue Nile in Sudan began fleeing into South Sudan’s Upper Nile State in September 2011 as a result of conflict between the Sudanese Army (SAF) and SPLM-North. Others fled into neighboring Ethiopia. The first refugee camp was set up in October 2011 in Doro. 70,000 refugees arrived during the course of 2011 in Upper Nile, with the numbers increasing dramatically in April-July 2012 to reach a total of about 110,000. The current refugee population in the four camps stands at XXX. The four camps are Doro (xxx), Batil (39,516 refugees, Kaya (21,428 Refugees) and Gendrassa (17,513 Refugees).

LWF in Maban has been operational since September 2012. It is mainly involved with Education and Child Protection. The Project is currently supported by 6 donors and operates in 3 of the 4 camps in Maban which are namely Batil, Kaya and Gendrassa. The project is made up of a team of 540 staffs of which 5 are international, 27 are Relocated national staff, 25 locally recruited staff and 483 Refugee Staff. The project has one Main base in Doro area with an accommodation capacity of 30 and another base in Kaya with a capacity of 10 staff. It also has field Office in Batil (Newly Acquired) and Gendrassa (Shared with ACTED) which still require a lot of development.

Principle 7 of The People In Aid Code of Good Practice – the Human Resource Code for the relief and development sector – states: ‘The security, good health and safety of our staff are a prime responsibility of our organisation.’ It is recognised that the work of relief and development organisations often places great demands on staff in conditions of complexity and risk. Organisations therefore have a duty of care to ensure the physical and emotional well-being of staff before, during and on completion of their period of work with the organisation.

In line with this, LWF aims to organize staff safety and security training for its staffs in Maban Area Office, Upper Nile state –South Sudan. Within the current context of South Sudan, the mounting hostility and increasing number of violent attacks against the NGO workers, premises and assets emphasize the need for the LWF to further promote and deliver safety and security training for its personnel carrying out vital missions in Upper Nile state.
