PoC is created when 7000 civilians enter UNMISS base seeking protection.

The IDP site population increases to 40,000 as a result of escalating conflict Unity. DRC becomes the Camp Management organisation. Living space was limited to 9m2 per person, below Sphere standards of 32m2 per person.

Bentiu experiences a heavy rainy season and the PoC floods. CCCM partners advocate for more land to create better living conditions for people seeking shelter in the site.

IOM and partners initiate a large-scale rehabilitation and expansion of the PoC site.

Danish Refugee Council (DRC) Camp Management leads the first population fixing exercise in the PoC. Some 60,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are counted, provided tokens and bracelets to prepare for plot allocation and movement plans.

The relocation of IDPs from congested areas begins in the rehabilitated Sector 1.

The relocation of IDPs from flood-prone areas to the newly constructed PoC site expansion area is rolled out, led by DRC and shelter partner Concern Worldwide.

Population reaches over 87,000 people, leading to revisions to site and shelter plans.

The construction of the new PoC expansion area is completed. IOM and partners developed an overall area of 1,080,000m2, as Sectors 3, 4 and 5 comprised of 44 blocks.

DRC hands over Camp Management to IOM.

The rehabilitation of the old PoC is completed in Sectors 1 and 2, including 3 contingency areas. The PoC area covers 1,650,000m2 comprising 5 Sectors and 57 blocks.

The Complaint and Feedback Mechanism (CFM) is established.

Relocation is completed. 105,786 individuals relocated from old areas to the newly developed Sectors, living in 11,727 fully complete shelters.

IOM CCCM team is expanded to improve coverage of the site.

Nomination of new Community High Committees (CHCs) for Sector 1 and Sectors 2 - 5.

IOM initiates a pilot project on women’s participation and prevention of Gender Based Violence (GBV).

New leadership nomination for the CHCs take place.

Population in Bentiu PoC reaches 121,225 individuals, the highest population since November 2016.

Leadership elections of the CHCs take place.

New arrival and newborn baby registration conducted.

Women’s Participation and Empowerment Project

1. Fuel-Efficient Stove (FES) Pilot

Women make up half of the PoC population and form the backbone of displaced households. In the home, they raise children, complete domestic chores, secure fuel and generate supplementary income. In the community, they provide social and emotional support and play a role in conflict resolution. Due to the time constraints of these outsized responsibilities, women are often underrepresented in community leadership structures and lack access to the same educational, work, and business opportunities as their male counterparts. Especially for female-headed households and those caring for multiple extended family members, this can place them in a vulnerable position. Recognizing this, CCCM undertook a multi-component Women’s Participation Project.

A baseline study was conducted in the PoC located in Bentiu, in Unity State, South Sudan in July 2016, to explore how women, men, and marginalized groups participate in the camp life and camp governance structures, and how women’s participation may contribute to women and girls’ perceptions of safety. Using qualitative methods, a baseline assessment was conducted to understand the barriers and facilitators to women’s participation and to generate strategies to foster women and girls’ participation in camp governance and camp life. Identified strategies from the baseline include promoting the use of fuel-efficient stoves, supporting adult education and learning, supporting womens’ groups to implement micro businesses, and establishing safe spaces for women and girls. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) has piloted some of these strategies as identified during the baseline in Bentiu PoC since October 2016.

Beyond the regular food rations and non-food items provided by the humanitarian community, the most important commodity required by all households in the PoC site is cooking fuel. In the case of the Bentiu PoC site, this means hardwood charcoal from the market or firewood gathered from the scrub forest around the PoC Site. Those unable to purchase the charcoal must either trade household items or rations leave the PoC to scavenge firewood, exposing themselves to GBV and other protection risks. To reduce this burden and minimize these risks, in addition to coordinating accompanied patrols, CCCM engaged a fuel efficient stove expert to test new technologies for reducing cooking fuel consumption.

Biometric Registration

Following the immediate emergency phase and influx into a displaced persons site, when IDP populations have settled and camp inflows and outflows have stabilized, it is essential to register the site population. This enables humanitarian service providers to calculate their services according to the population size, remain informed on population flows, and limit fraud, waste and abuse in the reception of services. With limited humanitarian resources and great need, biometric registration is a key tool in ensuring efficient service delivery and camp management. CCCM works closely with IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), the information management and data collection and analysis arm of IOM, to undertake periodic biometric registration at the Bentiu PoC site.

2. Quick Impact Grants: Female Entrepreneurs

While women are prevalent as small roadside retailers, there are significant barriers to entry for larger female-owned businesses: traders unions are male dominated; limited market space limited for larger shops; scarce start-up capital and high prices of machinery and tools in conflict-constrained marketplaces.

To overcome these constraints, CCCM launched a competitive grant project to give an opportunity to aspiring female entrepreneurs living in the PoC site to receive business skills training. Winners, selected from an applicant pool of 36 women’s groups, averaging 15 members each, were provided business training, start-up supplies, machinery and market space to start their own businesses in early education, retail, tailoring and hairdressing.

Community Members

The Bentiu PoC site is located on a natural flood plain and is characterized by the presence of “Black Cotton” soil, a high-silt content soil composed of fine particles with a very low rate of infiltration. This presents a particular challenge to PoC residents as torrential seasonal rains peaking in July, August and September do not naturally drain, instead forming swampy pools.

Since the beginning of its tenure as CCCM agency, undertaking responsibility for site care and maintenance, IOM has engineered a sophisticated drainage system to ensure that flooding is avoided, unsanitary standing water minimized, roads remain passable and shelters remain habitable.

Encompassing approximately 40 km of drainage, primary and auxiliary pumping stations, and a network of laborers and volunteers, this system, led by CCCM, requires an entire community to remain operational. In 2017, close cooperation with camp residents and governance and rapid procurement of spare parts kept drainages open, infrastructure functioning and avoided any flooding.
