Emergency Nutrition Response in fifteen Woredas of Somali Regions of Ethiopia Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services benefiting 57,895 beneficiaries to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women in drought-affected and conflict-induced communities in fifteen woredas of Somali regions of Ethiopia. Target locations include the following priority 1 hotspot woredas by region: Erer zone (Fik, Hamaro, Yahob ampWangey woredas), Nogob zone (Sagag amp Ayun), Fafan zone (Babile, Harshim amp Koran), Jarar zone(Gashamo amp Daror) and Siti zone (Ayshia, Gablalu, Erer amp Shilabo) of Somali region. The proposed project will continue support in prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) in all target woredas and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished children 6 to 59 months old and malnourished PLW in Somali regions. The project will support prevention of acute malnutrition through improvement of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency (IYCF-E) practices for infants and young children under 24 months and support the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women (PLW). In line with the 2018 Ethiopian Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), the proposed project will deliver a full-spectrum emergency nutrition intervention including prevention, treatment, management, community mobilization and case identification, and key capacity building for Regional Health Bureaus and health workers to achieve and sustain impact. Exceptionally vulnerable women and children in drought-affected and conflict induced communities will be prioritized for services.
Protection monitoring in West Guji Zone Protection monitoring in West Guji will involve collecting, verifying and analyzing information in order to identify human rights violations and protection threats and risks encountered by IDPs and returnees for the purpose of informing effective responses. Each agency involved in the project will employ consultants to participate in the protection monitoring teams and will support the provision of protection response services based on the respective agency’s mandate, and according to availability of access and resources.
Life Saving WaSH Response for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Hosting Communities at Kersa and Meta Woredas in East Hararghe zone Ethiopia has not yet fully recovered from the consecutive drought that resulted in massive livestock loss in pastoral regions and crop failure in the agro-pastoral areas. More than 7.8 million people are dependent on direct food assistance, while an additional 3.6 million people are supported through public works under the Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP). Despite the benefit of the belg/ kirmet rains, immediate recovery of these communities will not be immediate, nor will it be expected without concerted assistance. The food security situation is further worsened by the ongoing conflict along the border areas between Oromia and Somali region, and the recent inter-communal violence along the border areas of Gedeo (SNNP) and West Guji (Oromia) zones. According to the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), there are some 2.2 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) across the country due to conflict and drought. 

The crisis has placed significant strain on existing WASH infrastructure and practices, particularly in remote areas where IDPs have integrated into communities with already limited access to basic services. The safety and wellbeing of IDPs and host communities depends on effective and timely humanitarian intervention to meet urgent needs, including access to adequate safe water and sanitation, as well as hygiene promotion.

In response to this high need of improved WASH services, World Vision has planned the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities for IDPs and hosting communities in Meta and Kersa Woredas of East Hararge Zone. World Vision’s interest for WASH response of the IDPs and hosting communities of these 2 woredas is based on felt need of the affected people and the official request from East Harage Zonal and Woreda Disaster Risk Management Offices (DRM) for intervention. World Vision have well-structured and organized offices in adjacent woredas at Tullo and Melka Bello which will have impact on the cost effectiveness and timely response of the project

The overall objective of these WASH interventions in this proposed areas is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to poor WASH service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to safe and adequate water supply to IDPs and hosting communities and improve knowledge of proper hygiene practice of the targeted communities. Improving the safe water access, sanitation and hygiene interventions will be implemented with the objective of delivering holistic WaSH services to the community. The planned activities are water pipeline extension to IDPs construction of sanitation facilities (latrines), construction of hand washing facilities and distribution of WASH NFI along with hygeine and sanitation promotion activities.

Through this project World Vision has planned to address a total of 2,063 IDPs(639 Girls, 598 Boys, 432 Women and  394 Men) and 1000 Hosting communities  (600 Women, 500 Men) which makes the total beneficiaries of the project to be 3,163.
Addressing the Protection Needs of Most Vulnerable Drought and Conflict Affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Three Woredas of Oromia National Regional State The project address the protection needs of conflict and drought affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) in three Woredas of Oromia region through facilitating protection monitoring and referral support by mobile protection teams. The project will establish two new Mobile Protection Teams (MPTs) operating in three selected priority one Woredas. Each team will be composed of five persons (Child protection expert, GBV expert, General Protection expert, representative from Woreda women and children affairs office, and a driver) to monitor the protection situation of IDPs and affected host communities. These mobile protection teams will also be sensitized on age and disability mainstreaming before initiating their work in the field. The MPT will undertake all-inclusive protection monitoring, i.e. monitoring of all age, disability and vulnerability groups of IDPs and assess their protection risks, and conduct continuous service mapping and referral pathways, identification and response to community-level protection concerns, referral and response to individual protection cases through the already constructed safe spaces and community based protection mechanism, and cluster reporting. The teams will operate in three Hotspot Woredas: Jarso Woreda in East Hararghe zone and Moyale and Arero Woredas in Borana zone of Oromia national regional state. The project will also strengthen existing MPTs in Guchi and Wachile Woredas of Borena zone and Babile and Kersa/Gursum Woredas of East Harage zone of Oromia National Regional State.
Sanitation and hygiene support to conflict induced internally displaced peoples (IDPs) in Gura Damole Woreda of Bale zone in Oromia Region The conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that escalated in October 2017 has resulted in massive displacements of people into woredas bordering the two regional states in Bale zone. Internally displaced people (IDPs) have settled in several woredas in Bale zone.  In March 2018, Oromia WASH cluster identified three woredas, namely Gura Damole, Delo Mena and Dawe Serar from Bale zone as priority woreda for WASH intervention its IDP sites.  Of the three woredas, Berak IDP site in Delo Mena hosts the largest IDP population with 7,556 IDPs, while Gibri IDP site of Gura Demola hosts 4392 IDPs and Jido IDP site Dawe Serr hosts 805. However, due to flooded roads, the IDPs in Delo Mena remain largely inaccessible.  Hence, with resource limitations in mind, the proposed project will prioritize sanitation and hygiene support o IDP populations in Gura Damole Woreda. 

Hence, this project is designed to respond to WASH needs of the IDPs in Gibri 1 and Gibri 2 site of Gura Damole  Woreda. The project will carry-out construction of 36 block emergency communal latrines with hand washing facilities and soap distribution accompanied by hygiene promotion to reach 4,392 IDPs (2,301 Female, 2,091 Male) in Gura Damole Woreda of Bale zone. 36 blocks of latrines with 180 stalls (5 stalls per block) will be constructed to serve 3,600 IDPs. Number of persons per communal latrine block  is 100  (20 individual per stall) based on sphere standards. 21 latrine will be constructed at Gibri 1 and 15 latrines will be constructed at Gibri 2/Hida Kalu IDP site.
Essential health and nutrition services for drought and conflict affected communities - Afar and Somali regions, Ethiopia Ethiopia has experience the worst drought emergency since 2015, resulting in massive food insecurity, population movements and multiple disease outbreaks that require a swift, integrated, and comprehensive response. Among the hardest hit have been the Somali and Afar regions, where health and nutrition indicators were already poor due to weak and fragile health systems. The majority of the population in Somali and Afar region is pastoralist, living in remote and widely dispersed locations with limited access to functional primary health care facilities. In addition, the Somali region is currently experiencing instability which is impairing health service delivery).

MHNTs will continue to provide basic health, nutrition and emergency referral services to populations living in hard to reach drought-prone districts with limited or no access to public or private health care services. 

The two major responses that the MHNTs will be involved in are the assessment, classification and management of common diseases and priority health problems with special attention to children and mothers, and nutritional screening and treatment of severe malnutrition of all children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women. The teams will also provide health education on breastfeeding and supplementary feeding, personal and environmental hygiene and created awareness on health seeking behaviors. Severe cases of illness will be referred to the higher health unit for better case management.
Emergency Nutrition Response for the displaced population in Oromia (East and West Wollega), Benishangul Gumuz (Kamashi and Assosa Zones and Somali (Dawa Zone) of Ethiopia Ethiopia continues to face inter-communal conflicts with large-scale displacement on the rise. In the most recent wave of conflict in Benishangul and Oromia regions, it is estimated that at least 240,000 people were displaced inside Benishangul Gumuz region (15,000 in Oda and 42,000 in Kamashi zones) and across the border in Oromia region (101,000 in East Wollega and 81,000 in West Wollega). Meanwhile, there has been a significant influx of ethnic Amharas who were displaced within Benishangul-Gumuz region (Kamashi zone) as a result of the conflict in Western Oromia and Benishangul-Gumuz regions as well as from other regions. Prior to the escalation of inter-communal violence and displacements in 2018, there were at least 1,073,764 people displaced - mainly due to violence between the Oromos and Somalis over territory and access to resources since September 2017. An estimated 500,000 IDP reside in Somali Region due to conflict and the effect of protracted drought. They remain highly vulnerable and in need of a complete response and recovery package of interventions.

The recently displaced population is settled in camps, with some people staying with members of the host communities. In this situation, children and PLW form one of the most vulnerable groups, as they often have limited or no access to nutritious foods, lack appropriate health care, and subsequently face increasing risks of malnutrition and ill health. Furthermore, in the western part of Oromia region, particularly East and West Wollega zones and Benishangul Gumuz region, there is very little or no experience in emergency response. This project will address this gap in expertise.

To address these issues, UNICEF proposes to procure and distribute BP5, energy-dense biscuits designed for emergency settings to a total of 53,737 people (38,030 children age 6-59 months and 15,707 PLWs) in Oromia, Benishangul Gumuz and Somali regions (14 days’ ration). The project will also support the government system to better monitor and coordinate the emergency nutrition response and will support the sectors/cluster to enhance community mobilization and outreach.
Protection and site management support for IDP sites and collective centres In line with the Protection Cluster prioritization note, the project will provide protection monitoring and response and establish community-based protection mechanisms. In that regard, UNHCR will support the capacity development of local authorities and engaged partners to integrate protection considerations into planning and response to the IDP situation. 

The site management support (SMS) will focus on support to, and capacity development of, appointed site focal points and stakeholders. The goal is to ensure access to protection and assistance and improved living conditions for all IDPs, including persons with specific needs (PSN), living in the IDP sites and collective centres.. 

The project will be implemented in Gedeo zone/SNNPR and West Guji zone in Oromia region in coordination with national and local authorities, the Emergency Operation Centres (EOC) and appointed site focal points, the Protection Cluster, the ES/NFI Cluster, as well as other relevant Clusters and partners, including IOM.. 

Two Emergency Response Teams will be deployed  for Protection, Site Management as well as for Inter-Agency Coordination and Supply services.
Emergency WASH Response for IDPs in Afder and Liben Zones, Somali Regional State The purpose of this project is to address the acute water needs and poor sanitation conditions of conflict induced IDPs in Dekasuftu of Liben Zone and flood affected pastoralists of Cherrati, Dollobay and Hargelle woredas of Afdher Zone Somali Regional State. The project aims to avail and expand safe water services for sustainable use by IDPs and flood affected communities through provision of life saving water distribution, rehabilitation of failed water schemes and installation of emergency water treatment plant. Moreover it intends to improve basic hygiene and sanitation practices through construction of latrines in the IDP sites and by providing basic hygiene materials, training of local Health Extension Workers (HEW) and Community Health Volunteers (CHV) in order to strengthen hygiene and sanitation promotion activities. The project will further work on improving local capacity to sustain water schemes through community level trainings and provision of basic spare parts and maintenance materials to community water management committees.
Emergency WASH Response to Disaster affected population in Somali Region The immediate funding priorities released in May 2018 placed a great emphasis on life saving interventions for conflict affected communities while also focusing on preparedness and durable solutions. This is also based on Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) 2018 objectives.   This project directly links to this approach with the objective of reaching 62,724(10,732 Men, 11,616 Women, 20,103 Boys, 20,273 Girls) vulnerable displacement-affected populations in Oromia (East Guji), SNNP( Gedeo-Bule) and Somali ( Doolo zone, Liben -Deka Seftu) regions. The project has been designed with flexibility to respond to emerging needs since the situation is still fluid with IDPS movements. The main objective will be to ensure vulnerable displaced affected people have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services. This will not only provide access to humanitarian assistance but also contribute to durable solutions.
To achieve this objective, NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 6 months with flexibility to adjust in case of returns to the areas of origin. The rehabilitation works will be undertaken in 6 months to ensure proper testing and functionality before handover to the regional water bureaus and local communities This will be specifically be done through provision of water treatment chemicals, basic hygiene items like jericans, soap and buckets, construction of communal latrines with bathing amp hand washing facilities and promotion of adoption of positive hygiene practices. The project design has closely been coordinated with the WASH Cluster, regional and zonal authorities, and other operational partners in the targeted communities. This will ensure smooth implementation and complementarity as the needs are massive and will require concerted efforts to reduce possible disease outbreaks. Continuous monitoring will be undertaken in the implementation period to ensure all emerging trends are captured for the project to remain relevant to the ever evolving needs. Great community participation has been incorporated in the project design with emphasis to needs of women and children who form a great percentage of the displaced populations. This approach will continue in the project implementation and lessons learnt incorporated in future responses.
Emergency response to the most acute WASH and Shelter needs of IDPs in Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia The project aims to save lives, reduce morbidity and mortality of the most vulnerable newly arrived internally displaced population in in Yirgachafe woreda, Gedeo Zone through an integrated multi-sectorial intervention.  

This proposed project responds to the emergency situation caused by a large scale population movement to Gedeo Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia. The dire situation has led to acute needs of recently arrived IDPs (over 800 000 people). This life-saving action aims at improving access to safe drinking water, emergency sanitation, hygiene promotion as well as 4 emergency NFI kits (emergency shelter kit, bedding set, kitchen set and hygiene kit) for a total of 31,162 individuals. The content of NFI kits is in line with ES and NFI Cluster guidelines, all WASH activities are in line with WASH Cluster. 
In order to ensure the most effective response, the action will be implemented by PIN in close coordination with other actors (e.g. OCHA, IOM, INGOs etc). Kebeles Rsete, Haru Haru, Dumerso and Chelba in Yirgachefe woreda will be targeted within the action. It is foreseen that the following locations will be selected - 5 IDP collection centres: 1) Dumerso High school with 6480 IDPs, 2) Dumerso Technique school with 2988 IDPs, 3) Chelba School with 8480 IDPs,  4) Haru Haru High school with 21 684 IDPs and 5) Rsete school with 6537 IDPs and IDPs host communities esp. Yirgachefe Zuria with 62 307 IDPs.  In Yirgachefe woreda, it is estimated that approx. 166 000 IDPs (approx. 23 500 HHs) reside. 

Result 1 will focus on: 1) Life-saving supply of drinking water to 16,000  IDPs via water trucking 2) Hygiene promotion 3) Re/establishment of 8 water committees 4) Latrine and shower construction. Result 2 on: 1) Provision of Emergency Shelter kits for 1 000 HHs 2) Provision of Bedding sets for 2 000 HHs 3) Provision of Kitchen sets for 2 000 HHs) and 4) Provision of Hygiene kits for 2 000 HHs. 

A total of 31,162 beneficiaries will benefit from the proposed project directly as it is estimated that beneficiaries from Result 1 and Result 2 will be the same.
