Emergency Health and MHPSS services to IDPs and IDP returnees in West Guji, East Wollega and Gedeo zones in Oromia and SNNPR (MHPSS and Health) IOM proposes to continue delivering integrated health and MHPSS services by deploying six mobile health teams   in understaffed health posts in the selected high priority woredas as per the health cluster guidance.  Each health team is comprised of 1 health officer,1 midwife,2 nurses,1 social mobilizer and 1 health extension worker.  The intervention will be implemented in West Guji East Wellega and Gedeo zones in woredas Kercha, Sasiga and Yirgachefe respectively. The prioritization was done based on population displacement, SAM admissions and current disease outbreaks.  The proposed health team will strengthen current primary health care and MHPSS services to internally displaced persons (IDPs), IDP returns and host communities benefiting equally all individuals in need within the project catchment areas. The health teams will be based at understaffed health posts close to IDP sites and they will conduct two days a week outreach services in hard-to-reach areas. The outreach interventions and deployment of new staff will contribute to Health system strengthening  including primary health provision, on service capacity building training, basic medical equipment and supply and rehabilitation of damaged health post, which are core components of this proposal. The  services provided by the health teams will comprise medical consultations, under five screening for malnutrition and referral, SRH services to women of reproductive age group including family planning and ANC, health education and promotion, early warning and disease surveillance as well as mental health and psycho- social support. MHPSS intervention will focus on providing an initial psychological first aid  (PFA), lay counseling for MHPSS cases and referral to available MH centers and  follow up for severe cases. Capacity strengthening  training for health providers will be delivered. In addition, government and religious as well as community leaders will be targeted with awareness and education on mental health. Methods and tools will be based on the IOM ‘Manual on community-based mental health and psychosocial support in emergencies and displacement.  Women and children and other vulnerable groups with disability and the elderly will be given priority in the services. The health teams will be also supporting the zonal and woreda health bureau in immunization campaign by availing staff whenever the need arises.
Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) Response to most vulnerable IDPs and  their families in Deka Suftu Woreda of Liben Zone, Somali Region Improved stability in Ethiopia has resulted in IDPs returning to their areas of origin, local integration and resettlement in Somali region. An estimated 1 million people remain internally displaced within Somali Region require support for durable solutions and improved living conditions. According to 2019 HRP MYR, 8.86 million people in Ethiopia require life-saving humanitarian and protection assistance. In Somali region, specifically, an estimated 1 million people are displaced due to conflict and climate related factors. The needs of affected people must continue to be addressed in the second half of 2019 and in 2020. Considering the return of significant number of IDPs and presence of IDPs unassisted for most of 2018 the Nutrition, Food, Education, Livelihoods, ES/NFI and WASH needs remain tremendous and only partially addressed. 

In Somali region, the 2019 Deyr rainfall was characterized by its late onset and erratic, localized nature, as well as its short duration and below average performance. The rains failed to adequately recharge water sources and replenish water storage. Most communities are reported to accessing any available water sources regardless of type, safety and quality of water - exposing people to potential outbreaks of waterborne diseases. To meet the urgent humanitarian needs and provide emergency WASH services to these IDPs, an allocation of $4 million is dedicated to respond to the Somali region and priorities are already determined by the ICCG.

ZOA in line with the EHF strategy will implement an emergency WASH project in one of the cluster priority woredas – Deka Suftu Woreda of Liben Zone of Somali Region. Through this intervention, ZOA aims to reach a total of 18,000 (6840 male and 11,160 female) individuals in the Deka Suftu Woreda. Moreover, the proposed activities and areas are in line with the Regional level prioritization exercise – where the targeted locations are part of the 15 convergence woredas selected by the Somali Region WASH Cluster. 

The project is in line with the Somali Region WASH cluster response plan and the proposed activities are part of the WASH cluster priority. Major activities will include:
- Pipe line expansion to the IDPs and host community sites
- Construction of 06 block sex segregated Semi-permanent latrine with 24 seats at bardacas IDPs site  
-Training to key WASH actors and Water Management Committee and
community volunteers on hygiene and Sanitation promotion and water quality monitoring.
Emergency Seed project in SNNPR and Oromia regions selected three IDP and returnees  hosting woredas The overall objective of the project is to improve and restore the livelihood status of IDP communities in Oromia and SNNPR selected IDP/returnees hosting woredas namely West Gujii zone ) Hambala Wamana and Suro Berguda woredas) and Gedeo zone (Gedeb Woreda). The displacement has negatively affected their livelihood and increased their vulnerability. These woredas are identified as the top priority woredas for emergency seed and tools with severity level 4.  The project will focus to improve the livelihood status of 15,850 vulnerable households and promote early recovery through providing seeds and agricultural tools which help the IDPs and returnees to start and or resume crop and vegetable production. This will increase their resilience capacities and reduce the need for emergency assistance. It is planned to provide different seeds such as Teff, vegetables and bean for 12000 HH heads persons and agricultural tools which include Billhook, local axe and three-finger hoe for 3,850 HH heads and support them to be engaged in agricultural farming activities. MCMDO will establish a project steering committee at woreda and the district level. The committees members will include woreda sector offices, local government representatives, community representatives, and beneficiaries. The committee will develop the beneficiaries' selection criteria. The selection criteria will be verified and approved by the community. The selection of the project beneficiaries will be against the approved criteria. The list of the selected beneficiaries will also be presented to the committees and community members for approval.  

MCMDO has practical demonstrated experience in emergency seed and agricultural tools support projects in similar situations. It has implemented the same project in Gedeo zone with the support of OCHA and FAO. MCMDO has got different lessons and learnings from previous similar projects which help to implement this project successfully. Moreover, MCMDO is operation in both zones and targeted woredas implementing emergency nutrition and health projects targeting IDPs and returnees which can be considered as an opportunity to integrate among the projects and reduce administrative costs of the project. It has well established and strong partnerships with the zonal and woreda key stakeholders and community representatives. This is also a major input for the successful execution of the project activities. The project is proposed for nine months period with a total budget of 477,102.96 USD.
Emergency nutrition and health response in thirteen woredas of Somali and Oromia regions Save the Children’s (SCI’s) proposed emergency nutrition and health  intervention seeks to address not only the inadequate coverage and quality of life-saving services for the treatment of acute malnutrition in children under five and vulnerable pregnant or lactating women (PLWs) , but also some of the key determinants of malnutrition through promotion of improved infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) practices. Further, Save the children proposed Mobile Health and Nutrition (MHN) aims to improve inadequate coverage of basic curative and preventive health care services and also strengthen disease and nutrition surveillance and building capacities of health facilities.

By implementing CMAM as per the new national guideline, unmet needs of the acutely malnourished boys, girls and women amongst the vulnerable returnees, IDPs and host communities of the target woredas can be served. SAM and MAM classification, treatment and reporting based on the new national guideline will also be supported and strengthened through training and supportive supervision as needed. Critical IYCF practices as well as promotion of appropriate health seeking and preventive behaviors for the main diseases will be targeted through the establishment of a mothers’ group network.

On the other hand, the MHN team will deliver general medical consultation, IMNCI services, ANC and postnatal follow-ups, nutrition screening, referral care for deliveries, immunization and Vitamin-A supplementation, early warning and disease surveillance support, trauma care, health education, and referral services support. Women and children, vulnerable groups including IDPs/Returnees, the elderly, people with disabilities, and those suffering from acute malnutrition, will be prioritized for the emergency services

The target woredas are eight out of thirteen woredas proposed by ICCG and include Mubarak, Qadaduma, Dolo-bay, Khalafo, Mustahil, Kabridahar, Babile and Erer of Somali region and five woredas of Oromia region Dawa-ketechen, Guradamole, Lege-hida, Rayitu and Seweyne. These woredas have the highest caseloads and have problems of availability and accessibility of basic health and nutrition services. Thus, vulnerable girls, boys, women and men of ages and abilities in the IDPs and host communities

Girls, boys, women and men of all ages and abilities will be consulted to ensure awareness, appropriateness and accessibility of project activities. The project will be implemented for six  months starting from 15th of January 2020 in 8 selected woredas of Somali region.
Protection monitoring in areas of return - West Guji, Wollega zone in Oromia region, Gondar in Amhara region, Gedeo in SNNPR and Somali region In 2018, OHCHR, UNHCR, UNFPA and UNICEF as members of the Protection Cluster developed an inter-agency project on ‘protection monitoring and capacity development for displacement affected communities in West Gujii and Gedeo’. In recognition of protection gaps and the importance of mitigating some of the effects, in November 2018, OHCHR commenced implementation of the project and deployed four human rights monitors to the affected areas. The partner agencies eventually deployed in February/April 2019. The current project cycle for OHCHR will end at mid-May 2019 while due to their late deployment for various reasons partner agencies are expected to complete their part of the project by end September 2019. So as to continue to provide technical support and expertise on human rights monitoring, documenting and reporting to partners as well as to build on the work that the monitors have started, OHCHR requires additional funding to continue to support the joint monitoring and intervention in West Guji and Gedeo Zone. Additionally, and in view of the large number of reported displacement and human rights violations in the context of displacement settings across other parts of the country,In addition to west Gujii and Gedeo, OHCHR would like to engage in human rights and protection mainstreaming in Wollega, Gondar and Somali region though this project.

The work carried out by the OHCHR monitors in West Guji has provided the foundation for monitoring, advocacy and follow up of the sister partner agencies, UNHCR, UNFPA and UNICEF. Through undertaking various monitoring missions and their presence in the region, OHCHR monitors have interacted and built confidence with IDPs, returnees, government actors, humanitarian partners as well as civil society organizations. The team has also successfully conducted training on human rights for government officials in the region. The finding of the monitors has formed the basis of government interventions, for example, the team advocated for specific attention to be paid to the most vulnerable of IDPs in particular women and children in accordance with international human rights standards. We have seen an improvement in the treatment of this specific group. OHCHR has also provided recommendations to duty bearers which when it has been implemented has contributed to improve some of the gaps.
Emergency WASH Response for Internally Displaced and Returnee Communities in Goro Dola, Gumi Eldelo and Liben Woredas, Guji Zone, Oromiya Region The project responds to the emergency WASH needs among conflict-displaced, returnee and host communities in three Woredas of Guji Zone: Goro Dola, Gumi Eldelo, and Liben. 

GOAL will target IDP collective centres, host/returnee communities, and health facilities with a holistic WASH response addressing water supply, sanitation, hygiene and WASH NFI needs.

Activities will consist of:
- Emergency trench latrines in IDP collective centres in 3 Woredas: Goro Dola, Gumi Eldelo, and Liben, and subsequent decommissioning. 
- Distribution of WASH NFIs for IDPs in collective centres in 3 Woredas: Goro Dola, Gumi Eldelo, and Liben. 
- Water supply infrastructure at health facility and community level for returnees and host community in 1 Woreda: Goro Dola
- Hygiene and sanitation promotion through a variety of training, cascading and campaign activities, among IDPs, returnees, host community and health workers in 3 Woredas: Goro Dola, Gumi Eldelo, and Liben. 
- Support to government response in the case of outbreaks if required in any Woreda.

GOAL expects to reach approximately 80,000 beneficiaries (adjusted for double-counting) in total through the various activities including:
10,500 IDPs with emergency sanitation facilities
3,457 households (~20,000 individuals) with WASH NFIs 
9,000 host community and returnees with clean water supply in line with Sphere standards
367 HWs, IDPs, and community members with training on hygiene and sanitation promotion
71,371 people with hygiene and sanitation promotion, cascaded by the HWs and community, or through GOAL's hygiene and sanitation campaigns.

Exact sites will be identified with the local government and WASH Cluster, based on detailed assessments at project inception. In Goro Dola Woreda GOAL will coordinate all activities with COOPI, also present with WASH activities to decide on exact site selection and avoid overlap.
Emergency Shelter and NFI Response for Conflict Affected IDPs in Somali Region ZOA proposes a life-saving emergency shelter and NFI intervention to respond to the IDP living in Moyale and Hudet Woreda and surrounding locations. According to a recent rapid assessment conducted by ZOA, complemented by secondary data from ES/NFI shelter cluster, there is  a response gap of 38,050 IDP households living in  Moyale Woreda of Dawa Zone. 96 % of the IDP caseload in Moyale and 9,714 HH out of 17,214 HH in Hudet woredas have not received any assistance so far. The beneficiaries that are targeted in this intervention are newly displaced and selected based on specific vulnerability criteria. Based on a rapid needs assessment conducted by ZOA, it was found that more than 90% of the households live in shelters that are in extremely poor condition, made of sheets, cardboards, clothes and branches of trees. The type of shelter used by local population (buul/Somali house) made out of reeds, poles, and grass, hence the emergency shelter material will assist in reinforcing current emergency structures. Furthermore most of the IDPs are hosted by host communities (relatives and family friends) that lacks essential NFIs like sleeping mat, mosquito net, kitchen sets and blankets. Hence, ZOA will assist 3,662 conflict induced IDP and host community HHs with ES/NFIs. This response will consist of a comprehensive Shelter and NFI assistance focusing on IDP households and hosts living in the IDP sites registered under DTM in Moyale and Hudet Woreda. ZOA is proposing the provision of ES/NFI through cash (30%) and in-kind (70%) to ensure increased access of both ES/NFI kits to vulnerable IDPs and host communities. Particularly considering the lack of market access for IDP communities in Hudet woreda, ZOA will prioritize in-kind distribution in Hudet woreda and cash distribution for IDP Communities living around Moyale town, where market access is closer.
Operational Support to Nutrition Response in Gedeo zone of SNNP region The project has two main, interlinking components. 

Disbursement of per diem payments for Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) Regional Health Bureau (RHB) Health Workers:

UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 100 Health Workers deployed in Stabilization Centers (SC) in Gedeo zone are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates (300 ETB). Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows the Health Workers the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, often located far from the deployment location, thus increasing the willingness of Health Workers to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is therefore a strong incentive to attract and retain Health Workers in areas where it is otherwise difficult to deploy health staff. UNOPS Operations Associate will work from Emergency Operations Center (EOC) in Dilla Town to assist with the planning of deployment of the Health Workers, and oversee per diem payments process and conduct field monitoring.

Fleet management services for the RHB allowing Health Workers to visit priority areas:

UNOPS will assign three vehicles (pick-ups) by using local service providers (rental companies). In order to be able to rapidly respond to health emergencies, the Health Workers need to be highly mobile between health centers, health posts, and SCs. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, ensuring they meet the requirements of the emergency response in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the EOC in Dilla Town for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams. In addition, the vehicles will provide supply chain management services to deliver nutritional commodities from warehouses to the SCs. The vehicles will also be used to transfer patients, in the absence of ambulances.
Integrated multi-sector emergency response for drought affected communities in Wag Himra, Amhara This integrated emergency Nutrition and IYCF-E, WASH and FSL response will address the life-saving needs of vulnerable households and communities affected by drought and high levels of acute malnutrition in Abergele, Gaz Gibla, Sekota, Tsagibiji, and Ziquala woredas of Wag Himra Zone, Amhara, and aims to build on the health and nutrition activities ongoing in the target locations. The targeted woredas have high levels of emergency need, with vulnerable women, men, girls and boys affected by acute malnutrition and poor access and availability of services. Drivers include natural disasters (drought, floods, increasing desertification and land degradation). Many crisis-affected people lack livelihood opportunities and often live in extreme poverty, while access to basic social services is often inadequate or absent. Wag Himra has been impacted by protracted and acute crises, affecting a significant and increasing number of people and resulting in widespread food and nutrition insecurity. Declining agricultural production, reductions in livestock sizes due to death or sale, and negative coping mechanisms are common. FEWSNET classification for Wag Himra is IPC 2 (stressed) through early 2020, with poor soil conditions and water access affecting crop production. The population of Wag Himra relies on consistent rainfall for agricultural production. An Oct 2019 survey found that late onset, early offset and intermittent and erratic rainfall have compounded the drought, with hail, flooding and moisture stress cited as most critical to harvest and production. The drought affected populations in all woredas are adding strain on the ability of government services to cope and provide the support needed. For each area of intervention, Action Against Hunger (ACF) will adapt the approach to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with under nutrition among children U5 (Under 5) and PLW (Pregnant amp Lactating Women). The project will strengthen and sustain the existing health system and provide support for vulnerable communities. Some of the services provided through this action include the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and Community Mobilisation Support to the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) outreach clinics where needed Promotion of Care Practices and IYCF among children and their care-givers and psychosocial support for IDPs and host communities. MHCP support will be provided to the most vulnerable households through targeted psychosocial support services such as Mother-to-Mother Support Groups, and WASH activities will emphasise access to quality water and sanitation services while improving household behaviour change. FSL activities will emphasize reestablishment of basic levels of living, including animal fodder provision and animal health services. ACF will further consolidate and strengthen interventions and initiatives already started in ECHO and SIDA projects in Wag Himra zone to further maximize impact on nutrition, FSL and WASH.
GBV program support  for IDPs and returnees in Oromia and Amhara regions The GBV Program support for IDP and returnee project planned to be implemented in East wollega, West Wollega, Awi and Central Gonder zones of  Oromia and Amhara regions.  Using the the 2019 second round EHF allocation,  UNFPA has a plan to provide technical support to Women, Children and Youth Affairs Offices to enable them provide the psycho-social support services, facilitating referral for additional services and ensuring functional GBV coordination for the provision of minimum standard multi-sectoral GBV response services for survivors of GBV. In order to address the hygiene and protection needs of displaced girls and women of reproductive age, UNFPA in collaboration with Women, children and Youth Affairs Offices, will also provide female dignity kits and disseminate information on the availability services and on GBV risk mitigation mechanism during distribution of the kits in Central Gonder  and Awi zones where there is no NGO/GBV partner providing support to displaced girls and women who are vulnerable to GBV.UNFPA in collaboration with WOCYA will also ensure survivors have access to appropriate quality health services through the provision of Clinical Management of Rape training to health care service providers working in health facilities in the targeted zones. In East and West Wollega, UNFPA will continue strengthening protection/GBV Coordination and supporting GBV referral systems in the two zones.
