Purpose of activity / assignment:

To support solarization of new health facilities.
To support in ensuring service continuity of previously solar systems installed by our client.
To provide technical coordination in procurement & logistics & overall project implementation support.

Background & rationale:

In South Sudan, only 7.2 % of the population are accessible to electricity (World Bank 2020) & apparat from in Juba city, there is no national electric grid to power. Service delivery sectors like health facilities are highly dependent on electric power for the provision of services.

In countries like South Sudan, where access to electricity is very low, energy production is reliant on diesel generators. Frequent breakdown of diesel generators on top of logistics & financial pressures, health facilities usually suffer from a lack of reliable power, hampering their life saving effort.

In some health facilities with maternity, health workers use their mobile phone torches or candles to provide lighting for maternal health. Such poor lighting can affect the quality of work, specifically when precision is required.

This is counter productive to the health sector's agenda to provide quality healthcare for all with vaccines required to maintain a cold chain temperature of +2°C to +8°C, the current energy situation in health facilities poses a great danger to vaccine damage & loss of potency.

With the support of several donors, our client has been implementing solarization of national & sub national cold chain stores, as well as state hospitals to PHCUs which are offering the integrated vaccination of both COVID-19 & routine childhood vaccinations, emergency obstetric & neonatal care services & other primary health care.

The solarization activities are to bring positive changes in ensuring power availabilities for keeping potency of vaccines, enhance health service delivers at hospitals & money saving that was meant for fuel of diesel generators.
