Water sanitation and hygiene promotion  (WASH ) response in Gashamo and Daror  woredas of Jarar Zone, Somali region The most recent round of assessments carried by IOM (International organization for migration)  as part of the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix)  in July 2017 showed that there are currently 456,801 drought and conflict affected IDPs (Internally displaced people)  settled in 252 sites across the country. One of the most worrying statistics from this round of assessments was that 209 (84%) of the sites had no toilets of the remaining sites, only one site was able to achieve a coverage of 1 toilet for every 50 people.  An integrated intervention is proposed in Daror and Gashamo woreda involving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) promotion interventions, which will be implemented to the most vulnerable women, men, boys and girls in order to enable families to meet basic needs. Save the Children has carefully assessed the needs of women, men, boys and girls and the proposed activities are gender and age sensitive and to ensure the needs of different groups are met.
To meet the immediate WASH needs of IDP families we will conduct water trucking activities at IDP sites, stabilization centers, and rehabilitate water schemes to ensure availability of water near community dwellings to prevent open defecation inside the IDP sites and ensure access to environmental health facilities we will construct emergency latrines with hand washing facilities to optimize use of WASH facilities provided and to increase hygiene awareness to improve the poor hygienic condition of the targeted communities we will conduct hygiene promotion campaigns, cleaning campaigns through hygiene volunteers and will distribute WASH NFI (None Food Item). 
The program will target IDP sites and nutrition centers in Gashamo and Darror. Separate latrines will be designated for women and men, female specific hygiene items will be included to WASH NFIs, the items will be distributed to girls and women.  Hygiene volunteers will be recruited and trained to deliver specific hygiene sessions for women and children to ensure their specific hygiene needs are met. Save the Children is closely coordinating with other actors on the ground, to avoid any overlap in the proposed target areas.  We aim to reach 28,000 individuals (13720 F, 14280 M 3,430 girls and 3570 boys) through these activities for period of eight months.
Scale up of emergency response to Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) outbreak through integrated health and WASH responses The IRC proposes to scale up its AWD response in the Somali region based on the current needs. This will consist extending the reach of the response to more woredas and people, as well as in deepening lifesaving interventions by introducing support to case management, deployment of mobile health teams (providing lifesaving essential health services to IDPs and communities with no access to facilities), support in setting up CTC centers, and integration to other complementary activities in the WASH sector. 

Under this project, the IRC will target five woredas with confirmed and active AWD cases. These include Aware, Yo’ale, Degehmdow, and Gunagedo woredas in Jarar zone and Garbo woreda in Negob zone. The main pillars of the project are the following: strengthened AWD case management improved access to essential and life-saving Primary Health Care services in hard to reach areas improved community-based surveillance and mobilization and improved leadership and coordination mechanisms at zonal and woreda level.
Livestock support for drought affected pastoralists of Borena The proposed interventions will be directed towards ensuring availability of fodder, veterinary drugs and slaughter destocking through communities participation for the period January to June 2017. SOS Sahel /CARE / ACF work in a close coordination and SOS Sahel Ethiopia will target directly 28256 people among which 5763 are women including pregnant women, 5537 are men, 8817 girls and 8139 boys who have been affected by the crisis. Through this support SOS Sahel Ethiopia estimates to deliver fodder and health treatment for 3,600 animals. 1,800 households supported by the slaughter destocking and 2600 will be assisted by provision of meat. The activities will ensure that pregnant and lactating women and women headed families get priority for the service. SOS Sahel will implement in purely pastoralist Kebeles of Wachile, Dubluk and Dire woredas (where Wachile and Dubluk Woredas are newly reformed ones under Borana Zone by Oromia Region) who are highly affected by current drought as identified by Borana Zone Emergency Task Force.
Emergency WASH for IOD induced drought affected Woredas of Borena and East Hararge Zones, Oromia Regional State Ethiopia. Under this project, ACF is planning to implement emergency WASH intervention in 4 woredas of Borena (Miyo and Dahas) and East Hararghe (Girawa and Bedeno) by rehabilitating 15 shallow drilled wells with hand pump, rehabilitate 3 boreholes by replacing two 5KW failed pumps and two generators with capacity of 20KVA and 60 KVA, rehabilitating / constructing of 7 springs and 7 hand-dug wells. In addition, it has planned to make hygiene promotion and constructing/ rehabilitating of 18 emergency water harvesting structures (9in the schools, 9 in the health facilities) to address the institutional WASH problem. It will also make capacity building for the community and woreda offices. To have better impact from implementing complete WASH components, the hardware intervention is complimented by hygiene and sanitation intervention. This emergency WASH project will reach a total of 58167 direct drought affected beneficiaries and 245,023 indirect beneficiaries. In addition a total of 11,050 livestock will benefit from the rehabilitation of water schemes.
Livestock support for drought affected pastoralists of Borena This project is designed as a livestock-based emergency response intervention. The proposed interventions is to respond to the current drought in Southern Ethiopia and specifically Borena zone. The project aims to ensure the availability of fodder, veterinary drugs for the core breeding animals of targeted vulnerable communities. It will also include slaughter de-stocking in order to inject cash and feed families affected by malnutrition. The proposed activities will be done through community participation. The project is planned from January to June 2017. CARE / ACF / SOS Sahel work in a consortium. CARE will work in three woredas, (Teltele, Gomole and Elway) and target directly 5763 women including pregnant women, 5537 men, 8817 girls and 8139 boys who have been affected by the current crisis. Through this support it is estimated 3600 animals will receive fodder and health treatment ,1800 households will be supported by the slaughter de-stocking and 2600 will be assisted by the provision of meat. The activities will ensure that pregnant and lactating women and women headed families are given priority for the service opportunities.
Addressing the educational needs of displaced children in priority one hotspot Woredas in the Somali region This education in emergencies (EiE) project aims to increase access to functional, quality education for displaced school-age children in drought and conflict-affected districts in Fafen Zone (i.e. Babile, Harshen, Tuluguled and Kebribeyeh) and Jarar zone (i.e. Gunagdo, Yoale and Dig) in Ethiopia’s Somali region. The project will construct temporary learning spaces (TLS), each consisting of six to eight classrooms and gender-segregated latrines, provide teaching and learning materials and establish school feeding programs. The IRC will also train teachers, head teachers, school level cluster supervisors, and PTA members in order to raise the quality of education, ensure that teaching better meets the needs of IDP children, and increase community and household support for enrollment and attendance.
Containment and Prevention of AWD Outbreak in Doolo Zone of Somali Region, Ethiopia The drought and shortage of water in Somali Region, compounded by malnutrition, is compromising sanitation and hygiene practices and increasing the risk of outbreaks of communicable diseases.
Already in October 2016, the Federal Ministry of Health reported over 20,000 Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) cases nationally from 47 zones and 236 woredas in Afar, Amhara, Oromia, and Somali, SNNP, Tigray regions and Harari City as well as the 10 sub cities of Addis Ababa in the last year. 
Since then, the disease propagated to the drought affected zones namely in Fafan , Korahe, Jarar and recently to Doolo, Erer and Nogob zones. Informal reports from the technical supportive teams of the federal ministry of health in Somali region depicted that the daily average AWD case admission currently in Somali region tolls up 500 persons a day. As of this day, 39 woredas in Somali region have been affected by the AWD, with the number growing daily. Doolo Zone has been affected by the outbreak since mid March 2017 in Galadi woreda, and since then it has been spreading. Doolo has one of the highest numbers of IDP camps who are especially at risk to outbreaks. 
Underlying risks for this outbreak according to UNICEF and the Regional Heath Bureau (RHB) are the lack of social mobilization, the low capacity of health facility staff, lack of coordination and early warning structures. There is also a high risk of cross contamination at the CTU/CTC facilities.

Oxfam plans to intervene at the health facility level to build the capacity of the staff to detect, contain and prevent AWD outbreaks thus save lives in Bokh, Galadi, and Warder woreda of Doolo Zone. To achieve this, Oxfam will provide training and equipment to health facility staff aimed at strengthening their prevention capacity and their knowledge on surveillance and early warning. Furthermore CTU/CTCs will be equipped with AWD discharge kits for AWD patients, in order to prevent further spreading of the disease. The project will be supported by community mobilizers attached to the health facilities who will be trained on promoting awareness of good public health and hygiene practices to prevent spreading of diseases. Oxfam proposes a budget of 300,000 USD to implement this project. The project will be implemented in partnership with Oxfam’s existing partner, the national NGO OWDA.
Information, Counselling and Assistance for IDPs in the Somali Region The proposed intervention will facilitate access to legal identity documents for IDPs in the Somali region. The inability to access legal identity documents, including national identity cards, birth certificates, and marriage certificates, is a key protection concern faced by IDPs, and has been identified as an area of possible intervention by Mobile Protection Teams currently operating in the Somali region. 

A preliminary assessment conducted by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) indicates that as few as 5% of IDPs in the Somali region possess legal identity documents and that there is a limited understanding of the importance of such documents. In Ethiopia, legal documents are required to open a bank account, register a contract, enter into a legal marriage, for admission into educational institutions, and to pass through security checkpoints.  Legal documents such as birth certificates also guard against the risk of statelessness, early marriage, child labour, and the risk of incarceration if juvenile offenders are unable to prove their age in court. 

NRC will collaborate with government, local authorities, and Mobile Protection teams operating in Dollo Zone (Warder, Danot, and Galladi Woredas) and Jarar Zone (Gashamo Woreda) to enhance the ability of IDPs to obtain legal identity documents. NRC’s activities will (1) enhance understanding amongst governmental and local authorities, community leaders and humanitarian actors about the importance of legal identity documents for IDPs through capacity building (training workshops) and (2) ensure that IDPs are better informed about the importance of legal documents, and are able to obtain legal documents, through group information sessions, the distribution of informational materials, mobile counselling, and individualized assistance, including accompaniment of those extremely vulnerable.
Emergency livestock support for drought affected pastoralists and agro pastoralist of Low Land Bale Zone The Genna 2017 rainy season has started late and was inadequate in most areas of southern and southern-east parts of Ethiopia including Bale zone in Oromia region. The rainfall was very erratic in nature and the coverage was not uniform even within a district. There are Kebeles, which have received the rain for a maximum of only one week according to the Midyear belg/Genna multispectral assessment report of June 2017. 
Poor performance of the Ganna 2017 rains has caused critical water and livestock feed shortages in the lowlands of Bale zone, Oromia Regional State. Rayitu and Dawe Kachin Woreda are among the most affected areas and categorized as priority-1 hotspots by the NDRMC (National Disaster Risk Management commission) July classification. The impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread problem of livestock due to shortage of pasture and water deteriorating livestock body condition untimely and abnormal migration of people and livestock stress induced livestock disease resulted fall in the price of livestock deteriorating terms of trade between livestock and cereals and resulted food shortages. The situation is so critical that immediate action is required to protect livelihoods and mitigate impacts on longer-term vulnerabilities of affected communities. The Government and humanitarian partners are concerned by the possible extension of the dry season further aggravating the humanitarian situation. According to the National Meteorological Agency (NMA) climate outlook for Hagaya season (October- December), expected to be below normal rainfall in this year. The expected below normal rainfall for the upcoming season will negatively impact availability of water and pasture.

Therefore, this proposed project is designed to provide emergency livestock support in lowland districts of Bale Zone particularly in Rayitu and Dawe Kachen districts through improving access to emergency feeds to livestock herds, Vet drug and fodder seed provision to targeted vulnerable households to protect their core livestock during the critical drought period. The project will be implemented by Dan Church Aid (DCA) and Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in the two most affected districts that are Rayitu and Dawe Kachin, and it will directly benefit 6972 people. There will be active community participation during targeting and distribution of feed to ensure the most affected are targeted fairly and transparently. It is estimated that through this support 2324 breeding animals will recover from the drought.
Preparing and Responding to Communicable Diseases outbreaks Since 2015, acute watery diarrhea (AWD) and scabies outbreaks have been the main public health emergencies in Ethiopia. UNICEF has been responding to these outbreaks since late 2015 through technical support to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and the Regional Health Bureaus (RHBs) as well as provision of medical supplies and commodities, including Cholera Treatment Centre (CTC) kits and Permethrin. In 2016, more than 190 CTC kits and over 511,700 tube of Permethrin (5%) have been procured and distributed to all affected regions. This support has played a critical role in controlling the outbreaks. However, AWD and scabies outbreaks are still ongoing in some regions as of late 2016 and are expected to continue in 2017 since Indian Ocean Dipole-driven (IOD) drought is producing environmental settings conducive to increase transmission of cholera, scabies and other infectious diseases. South-east corridor of the country, including the Somali Region and southern part of Oromia, are among those which will be severely affected by drought in 2017. There is therefore an urgent need to continue the response and replenish required quantities of CTC stocks and medical supply. At least 180 CTC kits are needed for 2017 AWD outbreak prepositioning and response. In addition, more than 2 million 30ml-tube of Permethrin (5%) are required to response to scabies outbreak in 2017. The overall objective of this project proposal is to contribute to save lives and reduce morbidities through timely and properly responding to these major diseases outbreaks. This objective is guided by the 2017 Humanitarian Requirement Document (HRD) and health cluster strategic objectives. The planned activities are to procure and distribute essential supplies and commodities for AWD and scabies outbreak response in 2017 in Somali, Oromiya and SNNP regions.
AWD response and prevention in East Harerghie zone in Oromia region, Fafan and Errer Zones of Somali Region and  South Gondar of Amhara Region This project is to respond to the ongoing epidemic of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) in Fafan and Errer Zones in Somali Region and the South Gonder Zone in Amhara Region and East Hararghe of Oromia region. The project will support households with hygiene and sanitation awareness as well as NFIs ( soaps, jeri-cans, water purifiers)  to prevent the spread of AWD. It will also support the local government and health institutions to cope with AWD by providing materials and support to strengthen CTCs the functioning of strengthening existing  CTCs and establishment of new ones if required. In the case of East Hararghe, water rehabilitation will be carried out in two woredas affected by water shortages and/or high cases of AWD.
Emergency Nutrition Response for drought affected  people in Borena zone The overall objective of this project is to support the existing health system to manage increasing cases of acute malnutrition among children less than 5 years, pregnant and lactating women and older people in 3 drought affected Woredas (Teltele, Elwaye, and Wachile) of Borena zone in Oromia region. The project targets male and female children less than five years, older people, pregnant women, and lactating women for direct nutrition support and mothers of children less than 5 years (regardless of their nutritional status) for IYCF-E, Health, and Nutrition counseling. 

Gender balance will be considered when recruiting staff for this project, and most of the technical support for program will be provided to HEWs who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. Project target numbers are planned by reviewing admission trend in similar months the previous year and considering the current drought and food insecurity situation. 

The proposed project will reach: 
 2228 moderately malnourished children age between 6 to 59 months
 436 severely acute malnourished children less than five years
 3789 moderately malnourished pregnant and lactating women 

 1500 women of reproductive age and men will receive maternal and child nutrition education
Emergency Livestock Response for Drought Affected Pastoralists in Korahe Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia. The Mid-November Federal NDRMC ‘alert’ confirmed late onset, erratic and poor autumn Deyr rains in southern Somali region (also across the whole of southern Ethiopia). As these rains follow poor spring Guu rains, the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) to the DRM ATF is describing southern Somali region as in the ‘alarm’ phase of the drought cycle with a high probability of moving to a full drought emergency in the coming month. 
Working as a Consortium, Action Against Hunger (ACF) together with Save the Children, Mercy Corps (MC), Islamic Relief (IR), and Veterinaries sans Frontiers – Swiss (VSF-S) are planning lifesaving and livelihood protection interventions in Somali Region. The interventions are presented under the HRD’s objective 2 and informed by field missions including the recent Meher assessments and associated strategic documents that have been prepared to improve drought risk management outcomes. 
Objective 2: Protect and restore livelihoods Following the delayed onset, erratic and poor autumn Deyr rain and the poor regeneration of browse and pasture, livestock that were already in poor condition have continued to lose weight with the result that pastoral households have little or no access to milk and increasing numbers of households are reporting livestock deaths.
Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock, the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan (Oct 2016) that prioritized livestock feed supplementation of core breeding animals, destocking – commercial and slaughter - and animal health, in particular for those animals receiving supplementary livestock feed.
Nutrition Intervention through Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) at Fentale, Boset and Merti woredas (East Shewa and Arsi Zone of Oromia Regional State) According to the NDRMC/ENCU new Hot spot classification criteria, Fentale, Boset and Merti woredas are categorized as Hot Spot priority one on December 2016. Responding to the need, ChildFund Ethiopia has been implementing CMAM project in Fentale woreda however, despite the achievement of the project the need on the ground is still significant due to the failure of Meher rain. Therefore, to continue to respond for the food insecurity situation, malnutrition among children, PLW and elderly, shortage of livestock feeds which have been aggravated beginning from the meher, ChildFund Ethiopia proposes this follow on CMAM project in Fentale district and new CMAM project on Boset and Merti woredas. 

The project targets female and male children less than five years affected by severe acute malnutrition as well as pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Gender balance will be considered when recruiting staff for the project implementation, most technical support for Therapeutic Food Program will be directed by Health Extension Workers and Food Distribution Agents who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. The project will be ensured that the process of beneficiary selection, the selection of safe distribution points and time to ensure zero security threat to women and children due to delays in service provision will be done with active participation and engagement of women. They will play active role in community mobilization and awareness creation in nutrition intervention and in ensuring sustainability. It will contribute to gender equality in treating both male and female malnourished children under the age of five without discrimination. All data on beneficiary screening and SAM and MAM intervention, community mobilization, sensitization and distribution of supplies and provision of services will be gender dis-aggregated in order to attest gender equity while managing the project interventions.
