Contribute to increased Nutrition support needs to vulnerable under five age boys and girls and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) among IDPs and their host communities in Gorodola and Seba Boru district of Guji Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. Taking into account of the current worrying situation and anticipated deteriorated food security situation in targeted districts Plan International planned this project to complement and scale up on the current ongoing efforts by the government with giving high focus on Nutrition surveillance and maximizing access to Nutrition, IYCF, Hygiene and Sanitation promotion and CPiE  interventions at all level. In this project strong emphasis has been given to provide integrated response, the proposed project is designed with specific nutrition/CMAM-E and IYCF sensitive to WaSH and CPiE to meet the urgent nutritional need of under five boys and girls and PLW as well as to deter the likely out break due to poor hygiene and sanitation practice through awareness creation activities. Also protection related topics will be included in each planned CMAM trainings to aware HWs and HEWs on case identification, referral and reporting of GBV. Also the community’s awareness will be maximized on CPiE using the opportunities of OTP and SF distribution days.

Protection and Gender related issues will be mainstreamed and gender concerns will be further analyzed during the project’s implementation period. Appropriate measures will be considered for gender equality and ensuring that women benefit. This will include: specifically targeting women for some of the activities (PLW-specific activities like TSFP for MAM PLW) and ensuring equal involvement of boys’ and girls’ participation in other activities (community mobilization sessions, screening, TSFP admission, OTP and SC referral linkage and case management, and capacity building supports). The distribution centers will be made more accessible to target beneficiaries among IDP and host communities to minimize the risk of GBV. Child protection is a core value of the project. All training activities will include a child protection sensitive topics.

Therefore, this emergency response project is planned to support IDP and their host communities located in targeted district on basic lifesaving nutrition, Hygiene amp Sanitation including CPiE needs that are not covered by the ongoing PIE response, Government and other keen partners.
Provision of integrated emergency nutrition and health response through mainstreaming of protection issues for vulnerable host communities and IDPs in Hargelle woreda, Afder zone The situation of humanitarian life and livelihood continues at a large scale humanitarian crisis than ever mainly due to mass internal displacements in various parts of the country. Among the regions that are currently facing humanitarian crises, Somali regional state is an area in which the local communities have been suffering from consecutive years of severe drought and intermittent conflict during the year. 
Given the increasing scale and the frequency of the violence being reported across Ethiopia in general and in Somali region in particular, it is not uncommon to witness that the volatile political situation in the country has been responsible for the eviction and displacement of more people to occur, and the internally displaced people (IDPs) is expected to continue and it requires involvement and assistance of actors from multi-sectors. 

Cognizant of this fact, Islamic Relief (IR)  proposes an integrated emergency nutrition and protection project that responds to address  nutrition and protection issues of the most vulnerable( under five children and PLWs) people among  Hargale woreda  communities who were displaced/affected due to the recent humanitarian crises. The purpose of the project is to save life by providing  emergency nutritional support  for the most vulnerable groups (such as children and women , PLW,) and to carry out protection risk monitoring and mainstreaming through identification, referral linkage to existing services. The specific objective of this project is to deliver a set of integrated component that focuses on addressing nutritional requirement of drought affected and displaced communities residing in Hargale district. Thus, the proposed response is supposed to improve access to nutritional support and ensuring protection issues of the target beneficiaries by providing an integrated and complementary services through SCs,OTP and TSFP  , etc. it proposed specific actions to prevent risk of gender based violence and hence will contribute to greater gender equality, inclusion and protection.
Emergency Nutrition Response in three Woredas of SNNPR, and Three Woredas of Afar Region, Ethiopia Save the Children have been implementing emergency nutrition projects in all of the target Woredas in SNNP and Afar regions which contributed significantly to save the lives of women and children due to acute malnutrition. In the target Woredas and regions, SCI have also built a strong working relationship with Regional and Woreda Health Offices, community groups, and the respective sub-national level Clusters.
Funding from the current EHF allocation would enable Save the Children to continue and implement, lifesaving nutrition support in the target areas and build upon the achievements from previous projects.

SCI propose to continue emergency nutrition response in Afar by integrating the ongoing support provided by Save the children through INSPIRE project (providing technical, material and logistic support for SAM management).SCI-INSPIRE project sharing the budget and resources for TFU related activities, the grant from EHF allocation will be used to support the provision of TSFP services, including technical (using the new IMAM guideline) and logistics support on case identification and referral and TSF commodity management and distribution and effective case follow up and community education and promotion of IYCF-E practices. To strength and compliment with the current INSPIR SAM management service provision, minimal budget will also be used to support SAM management. 

In SNNPR, Alle special Woreda and Kena and Kerat Zuria of Konso Zone, SCI have been implementing CMAM and since September 2019 SCI is supporting the roll out of the new IMAM manual. The funding from the current EHF allocation will be complimented to continue technical, essential supply and logistics support provision for TFU/SAM management. Even if TSFP is managed by the Zonal DRMC, SCI have provided training on the new integrated OTP-TSFP management manual for more than 30 health extension workers and will continue to provide training and technical support to improve TSFP implementation in target Woredas. IYCF-E Community education and promotion, peer learning sessions and integrating counseling and consultation for mothers with breast feeding difficulties will also be strengthened as part of the IYCF-E component of the project.
Emergency WASH Response for IDPs and Drought Affected Host Communities in Hargelle Woreda of Afder Zone Somali Regional State The proposed emergency response intervention is supposed to be provided in the form of nutrition, Health and WASH service that will primarily focus on providing equal benefits to the most vulnerable HHs drawn from IDPs and host communities. Thus, the emergency nutrition and WASH responses provide preventive and curative response to IDPs and HCs. The project also focuses on on building the capacity of both female and male project staff through training as well as by enhancing the participation of government counter parts in formal training sessions. According to IOM's round 15 DTM report, there are ---IDPs who have been recently admitted to IDP camps. The proposed project will conduct screening campaigns in local people and IDPs camps. Children aged 6­59 months and PLW are the targeted population for the component emergency nutrition. 

On the other hand, the WASH component is to address the acute water needs and improve poor sanitation conditions of Drindir, Hargelle-01 and Kun bul IDPs and drought affected host communities in Hargelle woreda, Afdher Zone Somali Regional S The integrated emergency responses to be provided in the form of nutrition, Health and WASH service that will primarily focus on providing equal benefits to the most vulnerable HHs drawn from IDPs and host communities. The project aims to improve safe water access for IDPs and drought affected host communities through provision of life saving water distribution with cost effective approach using government trucks, distribution of WASH NFIs in collaboration with the regional government and SWAN consortium. Moreover it intends to improve basic hygiene and sanitation practices through pragmatic hygiene promotion activities. Local Health Extension Workers (HEW) and Community Health Volunteers (CHV) will be trained and capacitated in order to deliver community based hygiene and sanitation promotion activities.
Operational Support to Health Response in Somalia Region of Ethiopia The project will have three components, 

Fleet management services provided for Health Workers in remote areas

UNOPS will efficiently avail Four SUVs/Pickup vehicles through a local supplier to efficiently respond to emerging health issues in the target woredas. UNOPS will ensure that the vehicles meet the required standard in addressing the safety and security requirements of the health workers to ensure the quality of service. Vehicles maintenance and servicing will be managed by UNOPS in collaboration with the service provider. 

Timely per diem payments made to Health Workers

UNOPS will structure DSA payment modality to 38 health professionals enrolled in the project. UNOPS has adopted workable solutions for mobile payment modalities that was tested and proven effective in similar project in Ethiopia. The payment modality has contributed to boosting the motivation of the health workers in the past months. Other payment modalities such as banks are not available in remote areas and cash payments will delay the payment. The operations associate based at Jigjiga will facilitate the activity sheet and confirm payments to the health professionals.

Effective and efficient supply chain management services

UNOPS will assign one-5mt truck using local service providers to ensure that the coordinated supply of drugs and medical supplies reached the target health posts without interruption. Truck  will have GPS trucking systems to ensure secured delivery of the supplies. One of the operation associate shall follow-up the safely arrival of transported items as well as the timely maintenance of the vehicles.
Strengthening provision of lifesaving health, early warning and surveillance services to IDPs, returnees and host communities in Benishangul Gumuz, Oromia, Somali and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples'(SNNP) Regions The health determinants and triggering factors for outbreaks have remained unchanged, or in some regions degraded further due to additional internal massive population displacements. Access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene behaviors, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, large numbers of internally displaced people in the context of an overburdened local health system create an impeding risk for  water borne and vaccine preventable diseases outbreak resurgence especially in the early months of 2020.

The aim of the project is to improve access to health care to effectively cover the high risk populations. Improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC) are essential for the control of community spread of diseases with high epidemic potential and to reduce the burden of local ailments among the  at risk populations. The EHF funding will enable health facilities, temporary clinics and mobile health and nutrition teams to improve access to health care for the next 6 months. Controlling health threats and outbreaks is a multi-disciplinary effort, as a front line rapid response mechanism to contain the sources of potential outbreaks. The activities are complementing other WHO field programs in coordination with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners. This intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and rapid, efficient response for rapid local containment of the outbreaks, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR). On the other hand procurement of essential medicines and medical supplies will complement the available routine supplies from FMOH to facilitate free and fair access to basic health care for the IDPs, returnees and host communities. 
Due to specific focus on Somali Region and the fact that there was a special allocation for this region, 25% of the total fund has been dedicated to it.
Emergency Seeds and Tool support for in two woredas of Kamashi zone The proposed emergency livelihood intervention will support 11000 returnee and host community households in Kamashi and Agalometi woredas of Kamashi zone with agricultural inputs to contribute to the restoration of livelihood assets and improvement of food security. In the target area, there is high levels of emergency need, with vulnerable women, men, girls and boys affected by acute malnutrition and poor access and availability of inputs. Most vulnerable returnees don’t have access to seeds and missed the 2019 Meher agri season. ACF aims to improve the access to seeds for the next Meher farming season for the most vulnerable returnees and host communities in Agalometi and Kamashi woredas.
Creating Access to Education for Crisis affected children in Gedeo Zone, SNNPR The education in emergencies (EiE) project aims to create access to school for crisis-affected children aged 5-14 in Gedeb, Kochere and Yirgachefe woredas in Gedeo Zone of SNNPR. 
The IRC will provide teacher training based on the pre-school healing classroom (PHC) approach in order to ensure the holistic development (physical, cognitive and social-emotional) of young children ages 5 and 6. The approach also helps develop a nurturing and trusting and supportive relationship with young children. It focuses on putting affected children in the normal routine through play-based learning. In addition, the IRC will provide training to primary schools teachers on participatory/active learning methods by which students play key roles in their learning. The participatory approach values the learners’ contribution to the teaching and learning process that in return boosts their confidence and helps them to be back into the normal day to day routines. 

The IRC will also introduce teachers learning circles (TLC). TLC serves as a continuous professional development exercise for peer learning and support among teachers. TLC is a peer learning and capacity development approach in which teachers share their best practices and challenges. It is also a forum where experienced teachers coach less experienced colleagues within the school. The psychosocial support training for primary school teachers will be provided by Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) via the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). 

The IRC will provide furniture (combined desks) to schools where there is a severe shortage in selected schools. The project will also provide teaching and learning materials including school bags to targeted children.
Increased access to quality primary education for returnees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) children in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples Region (SNNPR) and Oromia Region. This project aims to ensure that 21378 (11333M, 10045F) children affected by emergencies in Gedeo zone of SNNPR and East Hararghe, Borena and West Guji zones in Oromia Region are provided with the opportunity to enroll in school, particularly for girls that those learners already registered can continue their schooling and that children are protected from physical and psychological abuse while in school. Out-of-school children will be given an opportunity to attend either formal or Accelerated Education Programme (AEP) as appropriate to their age, academic level, and need. Children who have missed out school for a significant period will be supported to re-enter formal primary schools but will take part in AEP to reach the same level as their peers. Before joining AEP, children will be assessed and enrolled at the right level and taught using the approved Ethiopian non-formal curriculum. Besides, PTA members will be trained on their roles and responsibilities to ensure proper management and maintenance of schools
 
NRC will use existing safe and protective learning spaces in the communities to provide an immediate space for AEP. Collaborations will be sought with the Regional Education Bureau (REB) to provide teachers who will facilitate teaching and learning. In efforts to promote enrolment and attendance, the project will also offer lunch break snacks (high energy biscuits) in the catchment area, as well as provide school materials and furniture to all learners and teachers, thus addressing the pressing needs that contribute significantly to high numbers of children being out-of-school.

As part of EHF Second Standard Allocation Strategy, the education cluster has prioritized provision of psychosocial and emotional support to teachers and students. To address this priority, NRC will partner with Voluntary Services Overseas (VSO) to increase capacity among education service providers to promote psychosocial wellbeing among children affected by conflict. VSO will solmnely resposiblve for the delivery unde outcome one. The initiatives be co-implemented with International Rescue Committee (IRC) and World Vision Ethiopia (WVE) in the project target areas. The intervention will entail among others, the following key mutually reinforcing components: 
 Empowering children in targeted areas to be active agents of their safeguarding and wellbeing
 Equipping teachers and Education Officers with the appropriate PSS/SEL skills to integrate social and emotional competencies in learning 
 Engaging parents, community and key stakeholders to play an active role in the protection and wellbeing of children, and to promote safe and protective learning environments.
 Establishing a referral and coordination mechanisms among service providers to improve access and quality of care to children survivors of conflict/violence
Livelihood Protection Emergency Project (LPEP) in Afar region In order to respond to the critical humanitarian needs of drought affected pastoral and Agro-pastoral communities in Afar, there was a call by Ethiopian Humanitarian Fund (EHF) 2019. Thus, VSF-Germany submitted expression of interest (EOI) and selected by vetting team to implement livelihood-based interventions in agriculture sector in Afar region. Then, the proposal is designed to respond to critical humanitarian response priorities and funding gaps that were agreed upon and presented in the 2019 Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund Allocation strategic document. Prioritization of impact woredas was made in consultation with regional BoLANRD and more attention was given for high priority woredas listed by agricultural cluster. Therefore, the project proposed to implement in four woredas of Afar region namely Aba’ala, Erebti, Berhale and Dalol woredas in Zone 2. Similarly, as per ATF prioritization note of Afar region as well as 2019 HRP agriculture cluster response plans, animal health service provision and animal feed (hay) distribution are the two major prioritized interventions planned to be provided to the selected beneficiaries aiming to contribute to the prevention of further deterioration of food security of vulnerable households in four drought-affected Woredas of Afar Region. Also, it is linked with the pillar of HRP strategic objectives which is prevention and mitigation and more specifically address the Strategic Objective 1: Lives are saved and sustained through animal health service provision and animal feed (hay) distribution in a non-discriminatory way that promote the safety, dignity and integrity of the people receiving assistance.  The project targeted 48,000 heads of livestock owned by 2400 HHs through voucher-based animal treatment service and 246,250 livestock owned by 9850 HHs via vaccination campaign. Further to these, the project will distribute feed (hay) to the selected 1060 HHs in four woredas (Aba’ala, Erebti, Berhale and Dalol) to fed 2120 breeding cattle for a period of 2 months.
Emergency Support for returnee School Children in Central Gonder Zone of Amhara Region Following the recent conflict in Gonder zones of Amhara regional state, significant number of students have been displaced and this in turn resulted in interruption of teaching and learning processes. In line with this, according to the information obtained from the Central Gonder zone indicated that about 60,615 students were displaced in six conflict affected districts, 109 schools (103 primary schools and 6 secondary schools) were closed, 3,739 teachers were displaced, 7 schools were highly damaged or destroyed (11,650 iron sheets, 2,550 chairs, 5 printers, 115,296 books has been lost) in two districts. Currently, there is limited support from the government side and there is critical demand to support the existing government efforts. Recently, with the government support, only 15 schools (14 primary and 1 secondary school) are opened, only 5,915 students and 290 teachers are returned, only 930 students in 3 schools have been supported with dietary food provision and scholastic materials are under distribution only for limited students in only four districts.  Therefore, the envisaged project is aiming to support vulnerable and internally displaced school age children, girls and boys (5-14 age) who have no or limited access to education in Central Gonder zone of Amhara Regional State. In response, Plan International Ethiopia, with EHF allocated funds of 200,000 USD, has prioritized and designed a project to address the education needs of returnee school age children who have no access/support to education in two districts, namely, East Dembia and Chilga # 2 of Central Gonder zone through provision of biscuit, scholastic material and capacity building trainings over three months of project period.
Emergency Nutrition response in Melka Belo and Jarso Woredas of East Hararghe Zone in Oromia Region World Vison Ethiopia is proposing emergency nutrition response in Melka Belo and Jarso woredas in East Hararge Zone in Oromia to save lives and reduce the morbidity and mortality of under five children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) due to deterioration of the nutritional status among severely drought-affected and IDP hosting communities. The objectives of initiating this project is to provide timely access to live-saving quality treatment of acute malnutrition among children under five years of age and pregnant and lactating women, to strengthen the capacity of Woreda Health Offices (WHOs) to treat and manage acute malnutrition using community-based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) in primary health care services. and to improve infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) knowledge and practices of Mothers with children lt 2 years

World Vision Ethiopia will implement a a full Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) response including TSFP  in Melka Belo Woreda and a CMAM response without TSFP in Jarso woreda. Under the continuum of care, the project will also support and promote optimal IYCF-E practices of infants and young children under two years of age and supporting the nutritional needs and care of PLW. Based on the Government structure, guidelines, and new updates from ENCU, WVE will support the existing CMAM program for the proposed priority one Woredas. 


WVE will implement this response by assigning health professionals with nutrition background who have proven experience on emergency nutrition programs on similar settings and in collaboration with other relevant Government organizations and UN agencies as per the requirement.
