Emergency seed support project for disaster affected smallholders in four districts of Amhara  regional state The overall objective of the project is to protect the livelihood of disaster affected and nutritionally at risk households through a meher crops seed provision intervention, and thereby reducing the need for emergency assistance in the future. FH Ethiopia is proposing to implement this Emergency Seed Support Project for disaster affected smallholders reside in hotspot priority one woredas. It will be implemented in two woredas (Dahana and Gazgibela) of Wag Hemira zone and two woredas (Bugna and Meket) of North Wolo zone of Amhara region. These two zones were reporting significant crop production losses that range from 21% for North Wollo to 40% for Wag Himera as per the 2017 meher assessment report.  

The project is expected to address the emergency seed needs and promote the early recovery, and food security situation of 12,202 HHs that are affected by drought and other weather adversities like hailstorms, floods, pest and diseases in 2017. FHE will provide 305.05 metric tons of local chickpea seed to four woredas (Dahana, Gazgibla, Bugna and Meket) in cooperation with respective government agriculture offices and seed supplying cooperatives and unions functional in the areas. The type of locally available chickpea seed is called widely as Kay Shenbera and the planing period runs from August 15 to September 11, 2018. Thus, to closely support this endeavor FHE will hire new and uses existing staffs by charging a proportional amount to this project operation. 

This proposed project will directly complement an ongoing emergency food aid and long term programs implemented by FH Ethiopia, ORDA and other humanitarian and development partners. As a result it maintains those gains already obtained from the interventions and preventing further deterioration as a result of recurrent drought. The total budget proposed for this project is $ 300,001 and will be fully supported by UN-OCHA.
Emergency WASH response for internally displaced people (IDP) in Kersadula and Deka Seftu Woredas of Liben zone in Somali Region, Ethiopia The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency WASH activities to improve the acute drinking water shortage and poor sanitation coverage faced by conflict induced Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) hosted in Liben Zone, Somali region. In Kersa Dula woreda (6 Kebeles: Daru Selam, Hargessa, Semale, Jimba, Jirma and Towfiq), the project will respond only to immediate sanitation needs as per the WASH Cluster prioritisation. In neighboring Deka Seftu woreda, (3 Kebeles:  Horsed, Baradias, Galun), where there are critical water and sanitation needs, IDPs will receive both sanitation interventions, water trucking and water system rehabilitation where possible. The IDPs are increasingly vulnerable to water borne diseases due to extremely poor levels of sanitation and a lack of awareness of basic hygiene practices. If these critical needs are not addressed in an efficient and timely manner, there is a high likelihood that this will lead to a deterioration of their health status. 

To address these critical needs the proposed project will construct sex segregated communal latrines with hand washing facilities and latrine attendants will be hired for cleansing purposes at each of the targeted IDP sites across the two woredas. Moreover, latrine attendants will take care of the functionality of hand washing facilities and, in coordination with outreach workers, will work to ensure that the users are washing their hands after using latrines. Currently there are no latrines and open defecation is widely practiced. These latrines will provide a safe method for beneficiaries to manage excreta disposal. To ensure beneficiaries have a clear understanding and raised awareness of the risks of open defecation and poor hygiene practices, this activity will be accompanied with hygiene promotion activities. The hygiene promotion activities will focus on raising awareness on the importance of using latrines and of safe hand washing practices to prevent the spread of disease. Additionally in Deka Seftu woreda, emergency water trucking activities will be implemented to meet the immediate drinking water needs of the IDP population and hygiene promotion sessions will be conducted at water distribution points. Where possible, rehabilitation work will take place to facilitate longer-term access to water. 

These activities will contribute significantly to the overall objective of the project ‘to ensure that appropriate sanitation facilities are available to facilitate excreta disposal and waste management, to raise awareness and knowledge of basic hygiene practices to reduce the risk of disease outbreaks, and to meet the immediate drinking water needs of conflict induced IDPs.’
Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) in Kercha and Hambala Wamana woredas of West Gujji Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia. In Oromia Region, West Guji Zones are targeted by the proposed project. West Guji zone has a total population of 1,273,888 Host communities and More than 332,071 IDPs/returnees. The project targets two woredas in West Guji zone, Kercha and Hambela Wamena woredas with a total population of 342,204 Host communities and 187,388 IDPs/Returnees.

Border conflict lead to severe food insecurity situation that together with acute water shortage predispose the communities to outbreaks, increased malnutrition and illness. This project will facilitate access to conflict IDPs affected population to basic health and nutrition service through the three mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in the two in Kercha and one in Hambala Wamanad woredas. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 60,917 IDPs benefited from the consultations and treatment, routine vaccination, MCH care, SAM without complication care and supplementary feeding for MAM.The MHNTs are also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and HMIS on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks and when needed to undertake together with the Zonal RRTs outbreak investigation for the confirmation of outbreaks and initiation of rapid response supporting for the control of diseases spread in the most remote and under served communities. The continuation of two MHNTs project ( One in Hambala wamana and one in Kercha ) and additional One new MHNT in Kercha woreda in West Guji zone  will be implemented  for the period of six months to cover the immediate emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality and mortality attributable to conflict IDPs.
Emergency and Durable WASH solutions for IDPs in Rayitu and Seweyna woredas in Bale Zone The proposed project will provide WASH solutions to IDPs in Rayitu and Seweyna Woredas based on identified gaps and needs in sites prioritized for support by the WASH cluster. 
In Seweyna, IDPs in Kuni (OR713) site in Biyo Harakile kebele, and Wada (OR536) and Burka Dero (OR714) sites in Arele kebele will be prioritized for WASH support. Based on identified gaps, IDPs in Wada and Burka Dero sites wil be prioritized for WASH NFI support. Additionally, IDPs in Wada (OR536) and Kuni (OR713) sites will be supported to have improved access to water through pond construction. 
In Rayitu, IDPs in Borore (OR222) site in Borore kebele, Arda Meda (OR852) site in Anole kebele, and Dero (OR279) site in Hara Dube kebele will be prioritized for WASH support. IDPs in Anole and Dero sites will be prioritized for WASH NFI and communal latrine support. In Borore site, LWF will support pond construction to enhance access to water. 
LWF will complement its water supply and sanitation support with hygiene promotion activities in all target sites.
Emergency Shelter/NFI Response in Sewena and Legahida Woredas of Bale Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia The ongoing humanitarian situation of conflict affected IDPs in Oromia and Somali regions has remained critical due to an upsurge in conflict around the border areas between the two regions. On 6th September, armed conflict broke out along the Somali/Oromia regional border, affecting current Save the Children areas of operation including, Moyale and Hudet Woredas of Sitti Zone in Somali Region, and Bale Zone in the Oromia Region. The conflict displaced thousands of households in Oromia and Ethiopian Somali regions. According to the recent displacement matrix (DTM R11 data), it is estimated that 161,000 HHs (1,029,000 people) (700,000 in Oromia and 329,000 in Somali) have been displaced due to the border conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that started in April 2017 and escalated in late September 2017. 

The statistics from the recent Shelter cluster update indicates, out of the total 21,877 IDP Households hosted in Bale, only 4,900 (22%) IDP Households received emergency shelter support. To meet the immediate ES/NFI needs of IDP and improve their health status, Save the Children intends to distribute Standard Full Kits, Emergency Shelter and Non-food items including (2 Plastic sheeting / tarpaulin, 1 Rope, 2 Blankets, Kitchen Set (3 Plate Metal, 3 Cup, 1 Kettle or Jug, 1 Cooking pots, 1 Cooking Ladle) and Hygiene kit (1 Washing basin 2 Jerry cans and 10 Soaps per House Holds). The project will support 2,300 IDP households (this is roughly estimated to be 13,800 individuals based on the average number of individuals in a given household which is 6). A total of 2,300 IDP households in Sewena and Legahidha Woredas of Bale Zone will be supported by this project.

As one of the leading nongovernmental organizations working to help and protect the country’s most vulnerable children and their families, Save the Children through this project will work to ensure mainstreaming of Child Protection/child safeguarding and coordinate with government bodies and partners to enable them mainstream CP. This will help to ensure our intervention do not harm children, and is in line with their best interest. Save the Children will orient all staffs and volunteers involved during project implementation on prevention of sexual abuse, exploitation and child safeguarding, including referral pathways and how to identify child protections cases of abuse and ways to refer them, work with communities to ensure that vulnerable children (such as unaccompanied minors) can also access the services.
Livestock Recovery and Drought Mitigation Response in Borena Zone The proposed project is designed to respond to emergency livestock needs among drought-affected communities in Borena, while also building community resilience to drought. 

The project will target pastoral areas of Borena Zone which have been negatively affected by recent drought, through the provision of technical, logistical, and material support to the community animal health system, and provision of supplementary feed for the most vulnerable drought-affected households. In addition the project incorporates a drought preparedness and mitigation strategy, through activities proposed to strengthen fodder production and storage, to minimize pasture shortage and alleviate loss of livestock during the dry season, and ultimately build community resilience to drought.

Activities will be targeted towards protecting core breeding stock, and will consist of:
	Logistical and technical support to the annual vaccination campaign
	Provision of essential veterinary drugs and equipment for government and Community Animal Health Workers 
	Strengthening government disease surveillance, controlling and reporting systems
	Strengthening the community-based pasture preservation and handling system 
	Supporting the government fodder bank production system (through ranch and hay making, alternative fodder production, and improved fodder seeds).
	Provision of supplementary animal feed as required.
GOAL will target 7 Woredas across Borena Zone, as prioritized by the Zonal authorities – these are likely to include: Arero, Dubluk, Dillo, Dire, Gomole, Wachile and Yabello. During implementation, based on local contextual factors the exact locations to be prioritized will be decided with the local authorities, in the case that other Woredas are more in need of assistance.

The activities planned are designed to reach approximately 10,000 households across the 7 Woredas, benefiting an estimated 52,000 people.

The improved livestock health and body condition are expected to protect or improve the terms of trade and improve milk production levels which will result in improved food security at household level, protected incomes, and protection of the core breeding stock which are the main assets of pastoral households.

The improved knowledge and capacity among community members and Community Animal Health Workers on livestock health activities and fodder production and storage, will have a wider reach and longer-term benefit at community level.

Activities are planned to be conducted over a 6 month period (with a prioritization of the emergency health and feed activities in the initial months of the project). However GOAL has proposed an 8 month implementation period in case of any unrest during the project which would cause potential delays. Staff and overhead allocations have only been charged for 6 months.
Emergency Agriculture Interventions for Returnees/IDPs in four Woredas of Gedeo and West Guji Zones The objective of this 6-month intervention is to contribute to the restoration of resilient livelihoods for 3,000 returnees and IDP households of Kochore and Yirgachefe Woredas in Gedeo and Kercha and Bulehora Woredas in Guji. This submission is part of the EHF reserve allocation to address the recovery needs of returnees/IDPs. WVE’s specific contribution to this effort targets 3,000 households in 4 Woredas in which all these households are hoping to re-start their livelihoods. An estimated 30% of the beneficiaries will be women-headed households. 

Type of interventions for this project were prioritized with significant input from the Woreda and Zone governments. Shared Woredas will be divided between NGOs at the Kebele level and will be managed through individual agreements. The needs in WVE’s application for Kercha and Bulehora represent unique, non-overlapping beneficiary populations with the interventions however we will split Kebeles in Kochore and Yirgachefe with Mothers and Children Multisectoral Development Organisation (MCMDO). 

WVE’s proposed interventions are in line with the objective of this round, allocation multi-sectoral plan that focuses on humanitarian assistance with elements of recovery, specifically through provision of short-term seeds appropriate for planting within the reminder seasonal window and protection of core-breeding livestock (animal health/treatment).
Creating learning opportunities for IDP school age children who have no access to education in Erer, Dawa and Liban Zones. In the last three years, Ethiopia Somali Region experienced complex and multi-layered displacement dynamics on which drought and conflict were being the primary drivers. According to the IOM (DTM R 9) 832,672 individual were displaced on which the majority of them were displaced during 2017 with 338 sites. Conflict was reported as the primary driver for displacement (488,174), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (344,498). This trend is consistent overtime, with conflict constantly being the primary cause of displacement across the region especially in Woreda’s close to the border between Oromia and Somali Region.

In Somali Region, the education sector is massively affected by humanitarian crisis and almost 207,051 children aged 5-14 are in need for assistant across the region. Assessments revealed that the main challenges that hinder children from going to school include  the increasing depletion of households income in emergencies which in turn means families are unable to afford educational expenditures and the indirect costs of their children attending schools.

Given the urgency to ensure that all children access learning, the national education cluster ha been prioritizing back-to-school campaigns, temporary learning spaces, school feeding and learning stationary. NRC in consultation with National Education Cluster and Ethiopia Somali Region Education Bureau, proposed to work in three of the most remote and severely emergency affected hotspots: Erer, Liban and Dawa zones of Ethiopia Somali Region. NRC proposes to assist at least 14,473 (Boys: 7091 Girls: 7382) conflict and drought affected school age children.
In line with the “EiE minimum standards”, NRC will make sure to create access to inclusive quality education in safe learning environment through: 
	Construction of temporary learning spaces  
	Provision of school mats 
	Conducting community mobilization session for raising awareness on the importance of children’s education, especially girl’s education.  
	Providing printed networking cards for ensuring education continuity of children affected by displacement and conflict 
        Providing sets of learning stationary (education/scholastic material)  to children attending  schools affected by conflict and drought. 
	Provision of training for teachers on the basic pedagogy and psycho-social support 
	Conducting EiE training for Woreda officials and education program staffs 
	Conducting an assessment, monitoring and evaluation visits on learning achievement in collaboration with REB/WEB to the intervention schools 
	Establishing and strengthening the school management committees (SMC) of targeted schools affected by conflict 
	Providing training for school center management committees on community participation, role and responsibilities of school committees and child care
	Providing monthly incentive for the teachers in the IDP camps
Restoring education opportunities for conflict-affected communities in Gedeo, SNNPR and West Guji, Oromia The proposed intervention will facilitate access to educational services for conflict-affected host community children, returnees and, to lesser degree, children who are internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ (SNNP) regions. A recent assessment conducted in both regions found significant gaps in ensuring that children affected by recent conflicts are able to access education services. Regional Educational Cluster partners (with NRC participation), including local authorities, have designed a clear and detailed response strategy to address this. Unfortunately, the funding secured so far is not sufficient for the urgent interventions set out in the strategy necessary to cover gaps in the essential services. 

NRC will collaborate with local authorities and humanitarian organizations to enhance the ability of affected host community and IDP children to access educational services. It will: i) construct temporary learning spaces (TLSs) – to replace damaged and destroyed school infrastructure and ii) support the host community to carry out minor rehabilitation works and cleaning campaigns in schools that hosted IDPs, to facilitate re-opening of those schools.
Emergency WASH Response for conflict induced IDPs in Messala and Hawi Gudina woredas, west Hararghe zone. Food insecurity, lack of access to safe drinking water and poor hygiene and sanitation practices are all chronic problems in East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia region. Vulnerability to malnutrition and utilization of unsafe and unclean water are very common in Ethiopia and they differ considerably throughout the country and within communities. Eastern Oromia remains one of the most deeply vulnerable areas to climate fluctuations, and among the worst affected by recent drought and, consequently, shortage of safe and clean water for drinking and household consumption. Due to the conflict around the Oromia and Ethiopia Somalia border, hundreds of thousands Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) have fled to both zones since the beginning of September 2017.

The findings of the recent assessment conducted by CARE showed that there are huge gaps with regard to WASH. These include the need for proper sanitation facilities as IDP communities are using open fields for defecation purpose, the existing latrine facilities are also poorly managed. Individuals in IDP camps also use water from unprotected sources and water rationing, which has a high risk of contamination which could expose the IDPs for life threatening situation.

The project targeted 7178 IDPs living in two IDPs sites located at Mesela and six IDP sites in Hawi Gudina woredas (see table below). The major activities planned to safe life and minimize public health risks are installation of sanitation facilities and rehabilitation of water scheme located in proximity to the IDP camps. A total 10 improved toilets will be constructed in the selected IDP sites and one water scheme will be rehabilitated. The total project cost estimated to be 130,812.42 USD. The duration of the project is 6 months starting from May 10/2018-Nove.9/2018.
 
Mesela Woreda- 2 blocks of latrine , 1 water scheme rehabilitation and hygiene and sanitation promotion activities.

Hawi Gudina woreda-8 blocks of latrine  and hygiene and sanitation activities.
Emergency Nutrition Response in Six Woredas of Erer and Nogob Zones, Somali Region Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services for 25,334 beneficiaries (--girls, ---boys, ---women, ----men) to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in drought affected communities of Somali Region, Ethiopia. Target locations include the following priority 1 hotspot woredas: Fik, Hamaro, Yohob, Wangey (Erer) and Ayun, Sagag (Nogob). The proposed project will prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) for severely acutely (SAM) malnourished children and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished (MAM) children 6 to 59 months old and malnourished PLW. The project will support prevention of acute malnutrition through improvement of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency (IYCF-E) practices for infants and young children under 24 months and support the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Project targets are as follows: 1,182 cases of SAM and 9,852 cases of MAM. 80% of MAM cases and PLW will receive TSFP services. Save the Children will ensure continuum of care by linking OTP discharged children with TSFP in all areas.

In line with the Midyear 2018 Ethiopian Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), the proposed project will deliver a full-spectrum emergency nutrition intervention including prevention, treatment, management, community mobilization and case identification, and key capacity building for Regional health bureaus and health workers to achieve and sustain impact. Exceptionally vulnerable women and children in drought-affected and conflict induced communities will be prioritized for services
