Provision of clinical Management of Rape (CMR) Training in South Sudan (Amendment 1)
UNICEF is committed to enhancing access to life-saving services including provision of quality clinical management of rape (CMR) services to survivors of sexual violence during emergencies. In South Sudan, UNICEF and partners have been supporting partners and the government to provide CMR services as part of its GBViE programming since the conflict erupted in 2013. CMR capacity in South Sudan remains limited; and unavailable in most parts of the country. Healthcare services continued to be interrupted, facilities destroyed, supplies looted and healthcare providers displaced as a result of the ongoing conflict. Additionally, the lack of adequate expertise locally and high staff turnover among healthcare providers continue to create CMR gaps in South Sudan. Enhancing and retaining CMR capacity is critical and will greatly contribute to saving lives and restoring dignity of survivors of sexual violence. This initiative contributes to UNICEF’s Rolling Work Plan (2016-2018) Outcome; South Sudanese Children and adolescents at risk of or exposed to violence, exploitation and abuse have their risk reduced, mitigated and where possible their safety, dignity and health restored by 2018.
