Yemen Joint Response 2021 The main objective of this project is to improve food security status  and reduce the risks of water-related morbidity and mortality, as well as malnutrition, amongst targeted children and their families while increasing their resilience and their access to other services such as health facilities and schools. The project will enhance public health and sanitation by reducing both the transmission of faecal-oral diseases and exposure to disease-bearing vectors through the promotion of good hygiene practices, the provision of safe drinking water at household and institution levels, and the improvement of sanitation at the institution level. The beneficiaries supported by conditional cash will be able to cover their basic food needs through the monthly transferred amount, which will improve the purchasing power of HHs and will refresh local markets. Lastly, the added livelihood capacity strengthening of women and beekeepers will result in improving targeted HHs livelihoods, and support them in helping them in be more productive and self dependent and generate income to cover their monthly food needs Given the extent of the crisis in Yemen, Save the Children, as part the Dutch Relief Alliance Joint Response, will focus on providing live-saving humanitarian assistance. Integrated activities support the vulnerable households across Yemen to meet their basic needs.
Dutch Yemen Joint Response 2 Save the Children would like to continue the current WASH programme under Yemen JR phase 1. Millions of people in Yemen need assistance to ensure their basic survival. Conflict has exacerbated chronic vulnerabilities; an estimated 19.3 million people in Yemen now require humanitarian assistance to ensure access to safe drinking water and sanitation, of whom 9.8 million are in need as a direct result of the conflict-escalation since mid-March. This means three in four Yemeni’s are unable to meet their basic WASH needs. Objective: Reduce the risks of water-related morbidity and mortality, and malnutrition amongst targeted children and families; and increase access to other services such as Education and Health. Results: 1.Targeted children and their families have increased access to safe water 2.Targeted children and their families have increased access to safe water and sanitation facilities at Institutions 3.Targeted children and their families have increased hygiene knowledge. The project aims to reach 90,195 persons through its different water (49,595 persons), sanitation (40,600 persons) and hygiene promotion activities (90,195 persons). As a very large part of Yemen’s population was already identified as vulnerable before the crisis, the response will focus not only on those internally displaced by the crisis, but also the affected host communities. For all WASH activities (including NFI distributions like water storage buckets, ceramic filters, hygiene kits), the project will specifically target female headed households (HHs), child headed households, elderly headed households, and disabled people, as the most vulnerable groups among the IDPs, in consultation with the local government council and the local water authority.
Yemen Joint Response 2024-26 (DRA) Save the Children (SC) and Sphereye (SF) will implement a 36 month intervention to meet the immediate needs and strengthen resilience of crisis and conflict affected people in Sa'ada Governorate in the sectors of Food Security & Livelihoods and WASH. SC and SF focus on strengthening the resilience of vulnerable households by creating income-generating and agricultural livelihoods to enhance food security in selected districts. Unconditional Cash Transfer (UTC) and Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) components will be used to meet basic food needs in the lean season and rehabilitate community infrastructures. UCT will target households (HH) who do not have the capacity to work (female, elderly, people with disability). The project's second focus in the area is on improving the availability of clean water and promoting hygiene practices to reduce malnutrition rates and enhance protection. The project will mainly target boys and girls, youth and women, elderly, people with disabilities, and small holder farmers

Pilot Demonstration Project on ODS Waste Management and Disposal UNIDO, on behalf of the Government of Lebanon, submitted the project document #Pilot Demonstration Project on ODS Waste Management and Disposal in Lebanon# to the 72nd Meeting of the Executive Committee of the Multilateral Fund for the Implementation of the Montreal Protocol. In response to the decision of the ExCom, the project is being resubmitted to include an optional strategy for ODS destruction abroad.  The main objective of the project is to develop a sustainable strategy to destroy stocks of unwanted ODS in Lebanon. The original strategy looked into the establishment of local destruction capacity for the disposal of ODS waste and other chemical waste in Lebanon, which can be used by other countries in the region. The alternate strategy looks into the feasibility of exporting ODS for destruction.  To ensure efficient implementation of the project, a total of 14.54 metric tonnes of ODS waste will be disposed of over a period of two years. This amount of ODS waste has already been collected from various sectors at different locations across the country. The amount of ODS waste to be destroyed is distributed as follows: - 2.07 metric tonnes of R11; - 10.59 metric tonnes of R12; - 0.01 metric tonnes of R500; - 0.07metric tonnes of R502; - 1.80 metric tonnes of halons.

Conversion from HFC-134a and HFC-404A to R-600a and R-290 in domestic refrigeration at Lematic Industries In 2016, Kigali Amendment reached a deal on a timetable that would mandate countries to phase down the production and usage of hydro fluorocarbons (HFCs). # The Executive Committee in decision 78/3(g) agreed to approve HFC-related stand-alone investment projects in the manufacturing sector only to allow the Committee to gain experience in calculating the incremental capital costs (ICCs) and incremental operational costs (IOCs) that might be associated with phasing down HFCs in Article 5 countries. Stand-alone investment projects submitted should be representative of the type of conversions from HFC to low-GWP technologies expected in Article 5 countries to contribute to HFC phase-down, and should present in a clear manner the conversion costs structures indicating which ones are incremental and require Multilateral Fund assistance. Bilateral and implementing agencies are therefore requested to closely monitor record and report the incremental costs incurred during project implementation.
