This report highlights the findings of the final independent evaluation of the “Surveillance and Evaluation Team (SET) and Multi-Sectoral Emergency Team (MET): An Integrated Emergency Response in South Sudan” project which was conducted in the months of August and September 2018. Action Against Hunger has been implementing the SET/MET project in South Sudan in response to the humanitarian crisis which followed renewed conflicts of 2014 responding to the nutrition emergency needs affecting many people within the country. The current round of the SET/MET project has been implanted for 14 months which started from 01st August 2017 till 30th September 2018.

This is a countrywide project funded by United States Agency for International Development (USAID) through The Office of Federal Disaster Assistance (OFDA). Through the deployment of the MET and SET, Action Against Hunger is contributing to monitoring the nutrition situation across the country, and to addressing malnutrition and its underlying causes in crisis affected areas where there is no sufficient capacity to respond to needs. The SET is a roving team that is involved in collection, analysis and availability of reliable data to understand the extent of nutritional needs in a given area. While through the MET, Action Against Hunger integrates Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) component into nutrition emergency activities and provides a combined nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive strategy to treat and better prevent under-nutrition in South Sudan.
