response to humanitarian crisis in Diffa The Islamist sect Boko Haram (BH) has been fighting a deadly insurgency in northern Nigeria for several years.The recent BH attacksagainst civil populations and Nigerian army led to the migration of people  towards Chad and Niger territory, mainly in the villages along the Komadougou River and Lake Chad Islands (Diffa region).The situation presented by the Niger government on December 16th, 2014 reported 96,019 refugees and returnees who arrived in Diffa region and are currently settled in 88 sites. However the situationis evolving with projection of 150,000 displaced when the census will be completed in the coming weeks or months and with more people fleeing unsafe zones in north-eastern Nigeria.
The security situation has deteriorated in recent months and BH still continues occupying some areas along the border between Diffa and Borno State.
There are also threats from BH to attack others localities in thecoming days and weeks.

The main site which received most returnees and refugees are Bosso with approximately 70,000, persons and Gagamari with approximately 15,000. The part of returnees (Niger citizens who used to live in Nigeria) is estimated 30%.
The main activities in Diffa region are livestock (more than 60%), agriculture and fishing.
The 2014 agro pastoral campaign resulted in a 53% ofdeficit of agricultural production making 156,480 vulnerable persons and the fodder deficit has been estimated at 1.8 million TMS  (corresponding to 62% of animals needs of the region). In addition the usual annual movement of about 28% of the herd observed from Niger to Nigeria (border transhumance) is being stopped while thousands of animals cross the border from Nigeria to Diffa Region because of the insecurity in northern Nigeria. In the other hand, animals that usually transit to Nigeria via Chad are obliged to crossDiffa and Zinder Regions before landing to Nigeria. These situations accentuate pressure on the already non sufficient pasture.

Sweet pepper farming and fishing that once were thriving are seriously undermined because of the lack of access to rivers in some areas and the limitation of commercial transactions.

Commercial activities between Diffa region and Nigeria are compromised because of insecurity, which significantly hinders the local economy heavily dependent on cross-border trade.

The lack of clean  water supply and sanitation, and the contaminated  Komadougou Yobe River has caused cholera outbreaks. The Ministry of Health reported a cholera outbreak in the Diffa region on December 13, 2014 and a total of 228 cases including 13 deaths were recorded on 22 December 2014.

CO-506575 Hygiene kits are often distributed to emergency impacted families as part of humanitarian response.  Each cluster partner has a different kit, made up of different items with varying specifications and of varying quantity.  In an emergency situation, different kits can be distributed to neighboring beneficiary groups, potentially creating confusion and even conflict amongst end-users.

This project proposes to attempt to standardize the content of the kits for WASH cluster partners.  This will reduce the risk of distributing different kits and potentially allow for the establishment of long-term agreements with suppliers for the provision of hygiene kits at reduced prices.

The project will analyze and base recommendations on kits principally by gathering direct feedback from beneficiaries particularly women, including women of menstruating age.  The targeted population will be those that have recently received hygiene kits from a cluster partner.  Harmonized protocols will be used for the evaluation.

The OXFAM will analyze a sample of six different communities In Zambezia Province that received the hygiene kits during the flood emergency in 2015.

Country Office DR Congo The Gender Action Learning System (GALS) was developed under ONs WEMAN programme since 2008 with Linda Mayoux and partners. Since 2009 IFAD has been promoting the use of GALS and other innovative household methodologies (HHM) as a mechanism to achieve asignificant and sustainable reduction in rural poverty. GALS and the "Household Mentoring approach" developed as part of the Agricultural Support Programme (ASP) supported by Swedish Sida in Zambia are among the two most comprehensive methodologies promoted by IFAD.

H HM position poor female and male smallholder farmers as drivers of their own development rather than recipients of aid or victims. It enables them to identify and address obstacles in their environment, change gender relations in the household and community, negotiate better prices for their products or better service delivery, and strengthen their asset base1. HHM have been successfully applied in a number of countries and can effectively be integrated into agricultural extension, ruralfinance and value chain development. They increase the pro-poor impact of such economic interventions and can contribute significantly to IFAD´s goal of helping 80 millionpeople out of poverty.

For this project a consortium was formed with local CSOsinRwanda, Burundi and DRC to promote sharing of experiences between three countries, capitalise on the opportunities for linking with IFAD programmes in these countries and to bring in more practitioners from Francophone West Africa. The selection of thesethree countries was based on the demand to provide materials in French and to have locations where participants can learn from HMM in practice. The experience and expertise built up with partners and their community groups in Rwanda will be beneficialforthe other two countries but also for IFAD staff from other Francophone countries.

WASH Response to IDP Crisis in Balkh Pro Oxfam is proposing a five months intervention in 3 areas of Balkh province to respond to a recent surge in the IDP population in the area as a result of conflict and violence in northern Afghanistan. UN agencies and INGOs are providing only limited support to these groups, making assistance irregular and acutely increasing the need for basic WASH services and health care in the area. A rapid assessment carried out by AHEAD and the Department for Refugees and Repatriations (DoRR) in January 2014 indicatedthe lack of clean drinking water and limited sanitation facilities as the most pressing concern according to the affected population. Oxfam will work with its Mazar i Sharif-based partner, AHEAD, to address gaps in IDPs# immediate, critical needs including poor access to safe and sufficient drinking water, lack of access to basic health care for high risk displaced people, and lack of understanding of the linkages between poor hygiene and the spread of water borne diseases.
The  intervention  will  provide  life-saving  water,  sanitation  and  hygiene  related  activities  to 9,883 individuals (4,205  women  and  5,678  men)  in  3  areas  of  Balkh  province.  The  proposed  project activities will result in reduced vulnerability and improved health ofbeneficiaries by providing improved access  to safe  drinking  water,  increased  access  to  safe  and  appropriate  sanitation  facilities  and increased skills to prevent water-borne diseases. Activities have been designed based on the rapid assessment and will include the construction of 30 boreholes fordrinking water which will be maintained by newly established water management committees. Similar committees for hygiene and for sanitation will monitor the progress of health and sanitation education, the reduction in unsafe solid waste disposal
and the provision of nearly 3050 hygiene kits. 180 latrines will be constructed, with direct impact on the number of women and girls who face safetyconcerns due to open defecation practices borne from overcrowding  and  lack  of  sanitation facilities.
Oxfam  has  chosen this  combination  of  construction, education and community led committees based on its experience in Afghanistan with humanitarian projects where community support is key to the sustainability of water points and latrines and where education is key to improved health and hygiene practices across a wide generational group.

Afghan women#s traditional role as primary caregivers places them in a particularly vulnerable position. To reduce their vulnerability, WASH activities will particularly focus on women#s specific WASH needs. Improved access to hygienic tools and understanding will most directly impact the vulnerable, elderly, pregnant and lactating women,children and those marginalised from the community.
