Emergency Shelter Repair Kits for Vulnerable Returnees in Benishangul Gumuz Region of Ethiopia The humanitarian landscape of Ethiopia continues to be dominated by challenges posed by intercommunal violence and hydro-meteorological hazards that have resulted in mass internal displacements. The humanitarian and protection consequences of the displacements not only affects the physical protection and wellbeing of the internally-displaced people (IDPs), but also the communities that bear the burden of hosting the displaced. The Shelter and Non-Food Items Cluster prioritization conducted in October 2019, identified identified 59,750 households in 19 woredas in Somali, Oromia, SNNP and Benishangul Gumz region for return response Priority 1. Based on this analysis, and in reference to the operational presence of the Norwegian Refugee Council in Benishangul Gumuz, NRC proposes a five (5) month return-based intervention in Asosa Zone (Oda Bilidigilu Woreda) for 230 returnee households and Kemashi Zone (Belojiganfo Woreda) for 230 returnee households. 

Based on the Cluster guidance, NRC’s will prioritize returnees living either in open spaces, returnees in transit, or returnees living in completely damaged houses. NRC will target beneficiaries through a shelter repair intervention. For shelter repair kit beneficiaries, NRC will opt for a beneficiary-led reconstruction approach, whereby the organization will provide shelter materials, and technical support for the rehabilitation / reconstruction of shelters by the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries will be tasked with the responsibility of collecting materials (in case of vouchers) and for the construction (with the option to engage / contract community-based builders). Technical support will be provided by shelter assistants, recruited from the community. NRC will further provide focused attention and support to the most vulnerable. 

NRC is committed to mainstream protection and gender elements during assessment, targeting, distribution and monitoring processes. NRC will strictly adhere to the targeting guidance from the cluster, including undertaking protection risk analysis and working with affected communities to identify and mitigate potential protection risks and institute measures to ensure meaningful access to the most vulnerable. Before the intervention, HLP issues will be assessed thoroughly and NRC will work closely with the government and communities to ensure security of tenure.

The project will be implemented through a coordinated response by ES/NFI Cluster members. Presently NRC is an active member of the shelter and non-food items cluster. The organization has sufficient experience in shelter and NFI interventions (both in kind and cash) and will use lessons learned from previous interventions to ensure quality programming.
Integrated Integrated Protection response for Persons with Specific Needs in Displacement Affected Communities in the Oromia and Benishangul Gumuz Regions This is a joint proposal that builds on the strengths of Humanity amp Inclusion (HI) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). It aims to target IDPs with specific needs and returnees, including persons with disabilities, injuries, chronic illnesses and the elderly, in Kamashi zone. The proposed project includes also NRC HLP research in Kamashi zone (Benishangul Gumuz Region) and East and West Wollega (Oromia region). 

Persons with specific needs face multiple layers of discrimination and are uniquely vulnerable to protection risks (including, for example, domestic and gender based violence, discrimination and exclusion, insecurity, access to services, and arbitrary detention and/or arrest). These protection risks are exacerbated when persons with specific need do not possess legal identity documents (including national identity cards, birth and marriage certificates, and/or death certificates). While legal identity documents serve as an effective protection tool in a variety of contexts, of immediate relevance to persons with specific needs, legal identity documents permit IDPs to travel through checkpoints in order to access medical services in urban centres. 

Housing Land and Property (hereinafter HLP) rights are often challenged during displacement and return and can be source of conflict for displacement affected population. This project aims to perform an in-depth assessment of HLP issues in Kamashi zone (Benishangul Gumuz Region) and East and West Wollega (Oromia region) in order to provide accurate information to displacement affected population on their HLP rights, to provide information, counselling and legal assistance in order to facilitate access to legal identity documents and HLP rights.

The project will also assess and monitor on a regular basis the protection needs of the IDPs and returnees as well as protection related issues and risks persons with specific needs including persons with disabilities and their family members and caregivers, elderly, women and girls are facing.

Information gathered and analysis carried out will strengthen HI’s ability to target the more vulnerable people and to provide adequate services including functional rehabilitation sessions, support to caregivers through group sessions and awareness raising session, as well as delivery of messages on Inclusion and rights of persons with specific needs, especially persons with disabilities
Life-saving nutrition services for the in-patient management of children with severe acute malnutrition in emergency prone areas in Oromia and SNNP regions Several thousands of children are still affected by acute malnutrition in Ethiopia. According to the mini Ethiopian Demographic Health survey (EDHS 2019), nearly five million (7%) children under five are wasted. Aggravating factors related to man-made and natural disasters such as drought, inter-communal conflict and floods have contributed to mass displacements where food insecurity is a major concern.   Nutrition data from the Therapeutic Feeding Program (TFP) data show a higher caseload of children affected with severe acute malnutrition in 2019 compared to 2018 with increases noted in areas of critical food insecurity, drought affected woredas. A total of 205 woredas have been prioritized for emergency nutrition assistance to reduce morbidity and mortality among the affected populations.  
This project will strengthen the management of acute malnutrition in line with the revised national guideline on the management of acute malnutrition in the selected woredas while integrating the promotion of infant and young child feeding practices during emergencies.  Additionally, the project will supplement the essential drugs required for the management of the medical complications  in the selected woredas with an overwhelming number of admissions exceed the existing capacity of the health system. This contributes to saving lives of children with acute malnutrition.
Emergency nutrition response in Oromia and SNNP regions (Jarso Kochere, Chorso  and  Amaro districts) World Vison Ethiopia is proposing emergency nutrition response in Oromia and SNNPR regional states Jarso woreda in East Hararge Zone of Oromia region and Kochere, Chorso and Amaro Woredas of SNNP regional state to save lives and reduce the morbidity and mortality of children under 5, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) due to deterioration of the nutritional situation in the areas. The objectives of initiating these project is to provide timely access to live-saving quality treatment of acute malnutrition among children under 5 (CU5) 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

In response, WV proposes this nutrition intervention  to address the severe need emerged due to drought, and  IDP/returnees chaos and deteriorated due to poor early identification and referral systems.     . Over a period of eight months, WV will provide technical and operational support to the woreda health offices, ensuring the delivery of full CMAM/IMAM packages by strengthening continuum of care for SAM-MAM case management in health facilities promoting optimal infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) and strengthening early malnutrition case detection and referrals. The target beneficiaries will be the most vulnerable under five children and PLW.

World Vision Ethiopia will implement a full Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) response including TSFP in the three districts whereas only CMAM component without TSFP for Jarso district. As acute drought is leading to food insecurity, water shortage, and severe acute malnutrition, World Vision will incorporate WASH components in Jarso and Amaro woredas. 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. This response will help to fill some operational gaps in the response, though huge needs remain until the mid-year of 2020.
Life saving WASH Responses in Four Woredas of Amhara, Oromia and SNNP Regions The overall objective of these proposed WASH interventions is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to poor WASH service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to safe and adequate water supply to IDPs. It also aims at improving the knowledge on proper hygiene practice of the IDPs and hosting communities in three regions (Amhara, Oromia and SNNP). West Wollega Zone, Nedjo rural Woreda IDPs from Oromia region, Segen Zone, Amaro Woreda IDPs from SNNPR and Central Gonder Zones Chilga Woreda IDPs are targeted in this proposal. 

The planned activities include rehabilitation/maintenance of existing water supply systems, construction of sanitation facilities along with hygiene and sanitation promotion activities and WASH NFI distribution. The project also provides basic sanitation and hygiene training to mothers and caregivers. The project proposes to reach 26,000 beneficiaries with a total budget of $ 500,000 amount.

WVE’s intervention are in line with the cluster suggestion in terms prioritized location, intervention types and budget allocation. WVE will ensue close collaboration with the cluster in implementing the proposed project.
Addressing Acute Emergency WASH Needs  Gaps Requiring Urgent Response in Babile, Chinakson, Kumbi, and Meyu-Muluke of East Hararghe A rapid assessment of East Harerghe zone conducted by IMC in February 2019 revealed that the IDPs have lost their assets and have settled in an unsafe environment that has exposed them to disease, violence, inadequate access to water, poor sanitation and lack of access to emergency shelter. Without immediate humanitarian lifesaving interventions, the condition of the IDPs will continue to deteriorate.
This intervention is ensuring timely delivery of emergency WASH response that will ensure the conditions of the target population do not continue to deteriorate. Activities proposed under this project is responsive to the sectorial plans, adhering to the prioritized activities and locations linked with the highest priorities identified in HRP, and DTM round 15. Furthermore, regular participation in the federal and local coordination efforts served as the bases for identifying known funding gaps and determining the proposed cost-effective emergency WASH intervention activities as well as coordination to avoid project implementation or funding overlap. The following cross-cutting themes: accountability to affected populations, ‘do no harm’, protection, gender and age have been given due consideration in the design of the proposed project activities. 
WASH and Sanitation interventions will be targeted at IDPs through the rehabilitation and maintenance of water systems, transport and provision of HH WTC, construction of gender and disability appropriate latrines, installation of hand washing facilities, distribution of hygiene kits along with IEC materials, and capacity building on the operation and maintenance of water systems in IDPs and returnees sites. 
Hence, the overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of the overall health of IDPs and receiving communities through implementing emergency WASH activities aimed at reducing morbidity and mortality rates in the targeted woredas: Babile, Chinakson, Kumbi, and Meyu-Muluke of East Harerghe

Integrated Protection Services for Persons with Specific Needs in Displacement Affected Communities in the Somali Region This is a joint proposal that builds on the strengths of Humanity amp Inclusion (HI) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). It aims to target IDPs with specific needs, including persons with disabilities, injuries, chronic illnesses, and the elderly, in Liben Zone (Filtu and Dolo Ado), Somali Region. Among IDPs, persons with specific needs face multiple layers of discrimination and are uniquely vulnerable to protection risks (including, for example, domestic and gender based violence, discrimination and exclusion, insecurity, access to services, and arbitrary detention and/or arrest).  These protection risks are exacerbated when persons with specific need do not possess legal identity documents (including national identity cards, birth certificates, marriage and/or death certficiates).  While legal identity documents serve as an effective protection tool in a variety of contexts, of immediate relevance to persons with specific needs, legal identity documents permit IDPs to travel through checkpoints in order to access medical services in urban centres. 

This project contemplates the provision of a variety of integrated protection services to persons with special needs and their family members / caregivers in Liben zone, including psychosocial support services, functional rehabilitation services, and legal services in order to facilitate access to legal identity documents.
