Multi-Sectorial Humanitarian Response for IDP Camps in Hlaing Bwe and Hpapun Townships, Kayin State CPI proposes to reduce vulnerability, improve health, nutrition, and protection outcomes, increase access to adequate and appropriate WASH interventions, and strengthen education in emergency (EiE) services and interventions in Kayin State. CPI will build on our successful partnership with the Karen Ethnic Health Organization Consortium (KEHOC) under MHF SA1 to reach Myaing Gyi Ngu (MGN) I and MGN II displacement sites (6978 IDPs) in Hlaing Bwe Township. This experienced and trusted implementing partner is best positioned to deliver life-saving interventions in some of the hardest-to-reach communities in Kayin State, with technical support, financial oversight, and quality improvement measures led by CPI. CPI’s partnered operating model prioritizes community leadership and ownership, to foster resilience, accountability, and participation.
To address EiE needs, CPI will pilot 2 different implementation models in MGN I and II to ensure that children can access education: a distance (home-based) learning model in MGN I Camp and a classroom-based model, in which the school is reopened with COVID-19 safety measures, in MGN II.   For the MGN I, CPI consulted with camp education committee and teachers and for MGN II, KEHOC consulted with camp management committee.
In both camps, CPI will first conduct a needs assessment   to inform the process of reopening each school safely, and train teachers to maintain safe learning spaces following COVID-19 infection prevention and control measures and support students at highest risk of dropping out (girls, LGBTQI+, children with disabilities). Engaging students in learning also requires engaging caregivers to invest in children’s attendance and participation in school. Therefore CPI will provide specific training to caregivers to help them support children with home-based learning, with special attention to supporting the mental and psychosocial needs of caregivers themselves  . 
To improve health, nutrition, and food security outcomes in MGN I and II, CPI will provide medicines and supplies for basic primary healthcare in MGN I and II and support emergency referrals. CPI will train KEHOC to integrate nutrition activities--including nutrition and IYCF counselling, screening for malnutrition, and participatory awareness raising sessions--into primary healthcare provision. CPI will support KEHOC to distribute food and/or vouchers, based on the accessibility of local markets, to address immediate food security needs at the start of the project and before the onset of monsoon season. 
Based on recent assessments of service availability and readiness in MGN I and II, CPI has identified priorities for renovation (or construction, as needed) of WASH facilities in MGN II
In Kayin State, CPI will mainstream protection and accountability to affected populations, including the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) and COVID-19 prevention and response, across all project activities. All CPI staff receive annual refresher training on CPI’s PSEA policy. To strengthen PSEA mechanisms for KEHOC, CPI will conduct an initial training in PSEA concepts followed by a workshop to co-develop detailed PSEA policies and processes. KEHOC’s PSEA policy will be rolled out to their staff and volunteers in April 2021. Accountability will be strengthened at the community-level by working in strong collaboration with local authorities to establish multimodal complaint and feedback mechanisms.
