Political tensions in South Sudan escalated to the level of an armed civil conflict in December 2013. A cessation of hostilities’ agreement, signed on 23 January 2014, has yet to be implemented. While the conflict is being determined by several factors, including proxy influences, economic interests and political dynamics, the dominant narrative is the one of a tribal war between the Dinka and the Nuer. The number of casualties and wounded remains unclear on both sides, but at the end of February 2014 it was estimated that 803,200 people were still displaced in the Country as a result of the armed unrest, 68,000 of whom still lived in United Nations Mission In South Sudan (UNMISS) Protection of Civilians (POC) areas. These are camp-like settlements established within the existing UNMISS military compounds, walled, gated and guarded by UN forces. The implementation of systematic humanitarian responses in the POC areas are made difficult by the volatility of the security situation, as well as the fact that the sites within the UNMISS compounds, established out of the humanitarian space and below humanitarian standards due to an immediate need to save lives, have turned into a mid-term solution. Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) actors have been reporting a need for psychosocial supports in the camps, since individual and collective uneasiness have been evident from the onset of the crisis. While the emotional and social tensions Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) are facing can be normal consequences of the paradoxes of the situation, IOM decided to conduct a small-scale rapid assessment that could inform the implementation of specific psychosocial support activities for the Camps populations and of specific psychosocial capacity building initiatives for CCCM actors.
