WASH and clean water initiatives in Jagobiao The Philippines, an archipelago nation on the Pacific Rim, is highly exposed to the impacts of climate change. Under climate change scenarios according to the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration or PAGASA1 in 2018 it is projected that the Philippines will be affected by an increase in severity and frequency of extreme climate-related events, such as storms, sea-level rise, flooding, and drought in future decades. According to the PAGASA publication, current weather patterns already show greater evidence of climate change with longer lasting droughts, heavy and unpredictable precipitation events and the expansion of the typhoon belt. These events are already exceeding coping capacities of the poorest and most exposed communities in the Philippines. For many rural families facing increased pressure on natural resources, the seas and agricultural lands, combined with extreme climatic events, results in challenges in meeting basic needs. This subsequently increases rural-urban migration to major cities, Manila, Cebu, and Davao. 

 

Within this context, particular focus has to be directed towards fast-growing urban centers as the speed of development and rural-urban migration outstrips city planning and infrastructure capacity. This leaves urban communities, in particular poor informal/slum settlements where the rural poor settle, at a higher risk. Extreme climatic events such as flooding in this setting are further compounded by limited infrastructure and drainage resulting in pollution and poor sanitation. For the poorest of the poor living in informal or slum settlements with limited access to basic drainage, water and sanitation, flooding impacts health, income opportunities and assets. Within the context of working with the urban poor it is especially important to work across administrative boundaries of communities; the formal structures of puroks, barangays and cities as their coastal zones, watersheds and drainage systems reflect an inter-administrative landscape. Specific project goal: Increased resilience of community groups and urban poor to cope with climate, environmental and social risks

By January 31, 2019, 10 clusters of households form groups implementing integrated community managed solid waste management, water access and WASH in the poorest and at most risk zones of Jagobiao and Socorro villages. 

- At household level, 115 households (763 individuals) have access to toilets and safe and clean water  

- At group level, 10 clusters apply community managed system for waste management and savings and credit mechanisms to support the communal facilities O&M system 

- Documented model, impact and lessons for profiling, replication and investment Targeting: 115 of the poorest 
households (763 people) in Jagobiao 
and Sitio Socorro with limited access to 
HH toilets and access to clean water 
that are exposed to regular flooding and 
unmanaged solid waste, geographically 
primarily targeting timberlands, 
fishponds and zones of the village which 
are the lowest lying zones of the village
Addressing basic needs of flood affected population in Jonglei state South Sudan has been facing unprecedented multi-dimensional nature of crises for many years. In 2020, South Sudan was severely affected by conflict (national, intra/inter communal in nature), food insecurity (famine and economic depletion), public health crises (cholera outbreak and emergency of covid-19 pandemic), bad governance (political crises with the governorates of the states) and natural disasters (flash floods). 
One of the main affected states is Jonglei state. Already around 1.5mln people where in need in Jonglei (HRP 2021) prior to the floods, which has been aggravated by the current floods. People have been displaced to higher grounds in escape of the rising waters, finding shelter under trees and on island formed in the submerged lands; some of the worst affected counties are Fangak, Pigi/Canal and Ayod. The majority are women and children, who are already extremely vulnerable because of the high levels of food insecurity of IPC4 and worse. The number of vulnerable people is likely to increase as the water is only expected to recede in January 2022. Unfortunately, this will leave the people with insufficient time to plant, further worsening people’s food insecurity. To provide life-saving assistance to 18,000 people affected by floods in Ayod with FSL, WASH and S/NFI intervention. Total beneficiaries:	18,000
Women: 	4,680
Men:	2160
Children:	11,160
Elderly:	10% 
Disabled:	4%
PASS- WB : Increasing access to healthcare, capcity building with RBF  - Projet d'Appui au Système de Santé avec FBR Cordaid will use Performance Based Financing (PBF) to reform the health system. We will set up a regional purchasing, contracting and verification agency and develop a user manual and plan together with the local and national health authorities. Partners HERA and ASSOMESACA will restore and improve systems and capacity for ensuring the availability of good quality essential medicines The project goal is to improve the quality of care and strengthen the capacity of health personnel in order to provide accessible health services of good quality in an equitable manner The ultimate target group is the population of health region 2 covering the districts of Berberati, Sangha-Mbaere, Bouar and Baboua. The total population is estimated at around 622703 people. Free or greatly reduced price health care will be provided to pregant and lactating women, children under 5 and particularly vulnerable groups like pygmies. Emergency care will also be provided free. The project will target a total of 109 health service providers
Mine Clearance and Organic Rice Development in Preah Vihear Cambodia Cambodia is one of the most mine-affected countries in the world, with an estimated 800km² of its land still contaminated. This situation presents a significant humanitarian challenge, as mine-related accidents compromises the safety of Cambodians. High levels of land contamination also raise a socio-economic challenge by preventing land use for agriculture and other economic activities. 

The proposed Development Impact Bond (DIB) seeks to address the challenges through a holistic approach that integrates mine action with agricultural development. As the first-ever impact bond in the mine action sector, the DIB will foster a synergy between mine clearance and agricultural development through outcomes incentives. It will also serve as a proof of concept for future scalability and replicability in Cambodia and other-mine affected countries. Communities are safer and are able to thrive
Farming households obtain an increase in their net income from producing and selling organic rice
Communities see an improvement in livelihoods and a reduction in poverty The DIB’s target population consists of small-holder rice farmers from the three target villages (Pnov, Kdak, and Kantout) in Preah Vihear who cannot optimize their rice farming activities, because their rice farms are in mine affected areas, and because they have no access to good quality inputs and support services.  These lead to yields and farm income that are currently below the average.
Caritas Iraq: Humanitarian Aid in Erbil, Anbar and Baghdad The project supports Internally Displaced and local People who are (severely) affected by the crisis in Northern Iraq. It aims to improve their food security, living conditions and well-being through the distribution of cash that can be used for shelter, food, household and medical or psycho-social services. Cordaid works closely together with Caritas Iraq and builds upon Caritas Iraq’s capacity. The goal of the project is to provide effective humanitarian aid to the most vulnerable crisis affected population, contributing significantly to decrease negative coping strategies. The specific objective is to provide effective humanitarian aid to the 800 most vulnerable crisis affected families in Erbil and Baghdad, to develop joined humanitarian program between Caritas Iraq and Cordaid, to strengthen the local capacity of Caritas Iraq. Sectors of intervention include: 

* Multi-purpose Cash Assistance (cash provided by hand to hand due to security issues and people could not get cheque or vouchers) 
* Psychosocial support * Capacity Building Internally Displaced and local People who are (severely) affected by the crisis in Northern Iraq
Fostering the Economic and Social Well-being of Waste Workers Coca-Cola shared its World Without Waste vision in 2018 which committed to an ambitious goal to collect and recycle the equivalent volume of bottle/can it sells by 2030 reaching a 100% collection and recycling rate of all its packaging. Cordaid aims to contribute to SDG 12, Responsible Consumption and Production by supporting this initiative of Coca-Cola by dual approaches: by contributing to the wellbeing (decent work) of the informal waste workers and through capacity building of the informal waste collectors and associations for sustainable and effective management of the plastic waste and PET bottles collection (substantially reduce waste generation through recycling) and supply to the recycling partner of Coca-Cola. 
Cordaid, an international organization, works across 20 countries in Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East with a record of accomplishment of more than 50 years globally and about 49 years in Bangladesh. Programs have reached more than 1.3 million people in the country in the last 5 years. Since 1st of January 2021, ICCO merged with Cordaid, a Dutch organization to increase its impact in addressing the global challenge by combining networks, knowledge, and organizational infrastructure. ICCO has had a strong field presence in the Rohingya crisis since the beginning of the influx in 2017. In 2020, ICCO started the Circular Food Assistance project with WFP, which is the first-ever example around the world to upcycle its own produced food packaging waste into usable products, provide skill development and income opportunities to the Rohingya refugees which enhances their daily lives, while creating a cleaner camp environment. ICCO used the Human-Centered Design (HCD) approach to design more inclusive programme interventions that give ownership, dignity, and pride to the users. For our initiatives on Solid Waste Management, ICCO received the ‘Bangladesh Innovation Award’ under the product development category and Sprint Global Award from the WFP Innovation Accelerator programme in 2020. 
Cordaid realizes there are collaboration opportunities with Coca-Cola where Cordaid can bring in its expertise on solid waste and enterprise promotion to support the World Without Waste vision by improving the skills & livelihood of the waste workers which aligns with the global TOC of Cordaid. Fostering economic and social well-being of waste workers for safe and dignified collection of Plastic Waste for recycling. Total number of beneficiaries are 420 (400 waste collectors and 20 waste aggregators) in Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) and Narayanganj City Corporation (NCC)
Saving lives of conflict affected newly displaced people in Afghanistan Currently 18.4 million Afghans are in need, and 5.1 million of them are children. One in three Afghans is acute food insecure and 50% of all children under 5 are malnourished. According to pre-harvest IPC Analysis (March’21), 35% of the population (11 million people) are in IPC3 or worse. Badakhshan, Faryab, Ghor and Daikundi are worst affected.  Furthermore, spring 2021 is expected to see a volatile and unpredictable pattern of conflict with an anticipated escalation in fighting, in line with seasonal patterns of conflict each year and worsened by the start of the withdrawal of US forces. At the same time low winter rainfall and hot temperatures associated with a La Niña weather event are anticipated to drive drought-like conditions over spring, affecting rain-fed and irrigated agriculture/livestock, as well as availability of water for drinking, washing and sanitation. It is anticipated that 25 provinces, already with high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition, are likely to be most acutely affected. Furthermore, flash floods can be expected as well.  
The food security situation will further deteriorate throughout the year as armed conflict and security incidents will increase displacement levels heavily. Since the start of 2021, the number of armed clashes between the Taliban, the Afghan National Security Forces and Non-State Armed Groups has surged, causing displacement and loss of livelihoods across 29 out of 34 provinces of Afghanistan. From 1 January until date, 2021 116,000 people were forcibly displaced due to conflict. Under the US Biden administration since 1 May, 2021, US and NATO troops are being withdrawn from the country, leaving a power vacuum. As a result militants have launched assaults around the country, with heavy fighting reported in Kunduz, Kunar, Uruzgan, Nangarhar, Helmand, Kandahar, Faryab and Badakhshan. The offensive in the south of the country as well as armed attacks along the border of Pakistan as well as the northern Baghlan province raises concerns over the security situation once the US withdraws (Reuters, 2021). It is expected that the Taliban is aiming to annex more districts, as the Taliban currently controls around 65% of the country. In Q1 2021, the conflict caused 1,783 civilian casualties, a 29% increase compared to Q1 2020. According to UNOCHA, at least 500,000 people will be displaced in the next few months due to conflict and drought. They will require life-saving assistance for which UNOCHA is seeking an additional US$47 million in addition to the HRP. Currently the HRP is funding by 13%. The overall objective of the project is to save the lives of multiple shock affected people who are recently displaced because of conflict and are in IPC phase 3 or phase 4, through unconditional cash assistance, contributing to a minimum household food consumption score above 42.5.

Integrating Healthcare in Resilience Building in Liben zone Drought has caused a decline in agriculture and livestock production severely affecting food and livelihood security in Liben Zone. Next to drought, human and livestock disease and resource-based conflict are identified as major challenges. Infrastructure and access to social services is inadequate in the targeted districts. This project is complementary to the resilience building project RESET. Goal: integrating healthcare into resilience building in communities of 35 kebeles of four woredas (districts) in Liben Zone, strengthening the capacity of communities to cope with recurring droughts 
Objectives:
• To equip 60 health professionals with Integrated Risk Management (IRM) knowledge and Participatory Health Risk Assessment (PHRA) skills.
• Communities and their health facilities implement Health Risk Reduction (HRR) action plans 
• Communities can respond to health and related (nutrition) emergencies
• To reduce the impact of climate change induced recurrent drought on health. Direct beneficiaries are pastoralist and agropastorlaist HHs. who are the most vulnerable people in Dhekasuftu and Dolo-Ado woredas in Liben zone of Somali region.
Providing a comprehensive full package of physical rehabilitation support integrated with lifesaving and protection against COVID-19 in Sinjar and Tal Afar Since the military defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in November 2017, more than 4,477,000 people have returned to their area of origin. A transition towards stabilization started and a recovery began where people are slowly trying to rebuild their lives. Although overall security in Iraq is steadily improving (with the exception of the urban protests), the trust in political institutions is low. Of course, COVID is an important contextual factor. COVID caused loss of income for many people, especially dayworkers. It stopped education. The lockdown made it hard at times to access services. The lockdown also increased the number of cases of GBV. In sum, the need for MHPSS and for services to respond to GBV increased. On one hand, Telafar is strategically located on the main highway from Mosul leading to Sinjar and the Syrian border. Telafar district was almost emptied of people when the government of Iraq re-established control in August 2017 and since then it has been an increasing number of returnees, approximately 352,002 residents returned according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix of the International Organization for Migration1, positioning as the most significant urban center to the west of Mosul in Ninawa governorate. As a result, other residents migrate to this city from surrounding towns and villages. The city is predominantly home to ethnic Turkmen, the current majority is Shi’a, while the remainder is Sunni. The area is also home to Kurdish, Christian, and Sunni Arab communities. One of the main reasons for returning to Telafar is the perceived improved security. Many others are not returning because of expected tensions, damaged, destroyed, or stolen property, and a lack of livelihoods opportunities. Even though the city has reportedly been largely cleared of explosives, some surrounding villages and agricultural lands are still not safe, and therefore, agricultural lands are not being re-cultivated. The ongoing closing of IDP camps in November 2020 – enforced by the Iraqi government – will substantially increase the number of returnees. To improve mental health and physical rehabilitation wellbeing and increase access to protection for vulnerable people and people with disabilities among returnees and host communities in Sinjar and Telafar during the COVID-19 pandemic, to reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality of people in need of humanitarian assistance in Iraq Men, Boys, women and girls from returnees, IDPs and host communities
Ethiopia Joint Response 2024-2026 North Wollo Zone had been experiencing multiple cycles of violence and displacement over the past couple of years due to the escalated war conflict between the Federal Government of Ethiopia and the Tigray People Liberation front. Among the North Wollo Woredas, Gidan was occupied by rebel groups two times which makes the community be-ing conflict affected and vulnerable one. Gidan woreda has 23 kebeles and most of the kebeles are identified as drought and flood prone areas in addition to the conflict. The total population of the woreda is 148,058 (73,183 F) of which 23,450 (8200 F) are under 18, 6252 under 5 children, 8130 PWD.
Regarding the findings of FSL sector, a total of 40,582 (20,724 F) people are in food insecurity. In addition, nearly 99% of the population practice crop production as their livelihood source. And due to the crisis 51,659 (25,534F) people lost crop production which is expected to be harvested from 7,310.18 hectares of crop-covered farmland. An estimation of 19, 5391.23 quintals of different crop type production has been lost due to crop-covered farmland damage (maize, sorghum, wheat, teff, vegetables and barley).
On WASH sector need assessment findings,450 water supply schemes are available (28 are not functional due to different reasons during the time of conflict, 51 are partially functional and the remaining 371 are functional sources). The total estimated catchment population ranges from 8 to 1165 per each supply area. Currently, there are 400 water facilities (1borehole, 445 protected spring and 4 other water schemes). Among the total 68 schools (only 2 are secondary schools), 29 primary and 2 secondary schools have water supply. Only 7 primary schools have sanitation facilities. The remaining 37 primary schools in which most of the woreda students are learning are without water facilities and 59 primary schools with no sanitation facility supply. Furthermore, 8 health posts do not have access to water facilities.The current joint response takes into consideration the high need of the people affected. Hence, to accommodate that a holistic service provision approach is required. To achieve this partner implementing in the same geographical area are encouraged to align their ac-trinities as much as possible. This will contribute towards addressing the beneficiaries in a more harmonized manner. The overall objective of the Ethiopia Joint Response is to provide complementary multi-sectoral and integrated life-saving humanitarian support to conflict and/or drought-affected people in need - both displaced and non-displaced, in the target locations.
Community Managed Disaster Risk Reduction (CMDRR) training and pilot project Burundi is frequently affected by natural hazards. Droughts in the northern and north-eastern provinces have affected over 3 million people in the last 20 years. Along the lake Tanganyika, flooding occur almost annually in and around the capital Bujumbura. Landslides happen often in the west due to torrential rains and risks are increased by deforestation and subsequent erosion. Therefore a pilot project on Community Based Disaster Risk Reduction will be formulated with the aim to build the resilience of communities and improve their skills and capacities to withstand and reduce the impact of natural and man-made hazards risks. This project aims to improve the community resilience of 3 communities in Rugombo commune of Cibitoke province. For the short term this project have 4 objectives:

1. To strengthen the capacity of ERB, stakeholders and communities on disaster management and community resilience processes
2.	3 local communities in Rugombo commune of Cibitoke Province are able to formulate joint action plans to enhance resilience at local level (development & contingency plans) and formulated joint action plans
3.	3 local communities in Rugombo commune of Cibitoke Province diversified their livelihood strategies through implementation of small scale resilience projects
4.	A stakeholder platform has been set up and acts as an advocacy forum on assisting community for the completion of resilience plans The beneficiaries are the people lives in general on the three communities because the influence of agro forestry,forestry have't limit. The project wort with and through directly with the Resilience committee on each community.in additional, each people who will received the training in VSLA,nurseries technical, Farmer Fields School, kitchen garden etc... are considered as our beneficiaries. Other main category of beneficiaries are the member of community who will received the young plants,the equipment for facilitating the environmental management
Flood Response Bor County – Jonglei State This project was coordinated well during the project cycle. At the onset of the floods, Cordaid
coordinated with other START members including Save the Children on the alert, content and
response. Once approved Cordaid coordinatedon the ground through Shelter and NFI cluster focal
lead person, WASH cluster lead person/Organisation and also Relief rehabilitation commission
(RRC), a body linking/coordinating organisations and government bodies. This was important to
minimise duplication cases and also identify areas/most vulnerable and urgent needs. Cordaid has
also been coordinating with Save the Children, Cafod, CRS and UNOCHA for knowledge sharing and
information updates. The aim was to distribute WASH and Shelter NFIs to 2000 HH in Kondai Camp. However, because
procurement and logistics of the items turned out to be more expensive than anticipated, it was not
possible to procure all items for 2000 HH. Therefore, in coordination with the people on the ground, it
was decided that 1000 HH would receive all NFIs (shelter and WASH) and 1000 HH would receive only
WASH NFIs. Total beneficiaries: 18,000 individuals in total 
Women: 5,580
Children: 8,280
Men: 3,960
Elderly: 126
Disabled: 54
