Lifesaving Shelter/NFI Response to Flood-affected populations in Luuq and Belet Hawa, Gedo Region ltpgtThis project contributes to the wider life saving response to floods and cholera outbreak in parts of Gedo and in particular, Luuq and Belet Hawa districts following heavy rains that have been received since mid March 2023. The most affected households will be targeted with one NFI kit and two plastic sheets each to help address the outbreak of cholera and loss of shelters. NFI kits will help the families to handle water, prepare food, cook and serve in hygienic conditions that will minimize the spread of cholera and water-borne diseases. The blankets will protect the vulnerable from extreme colds while mosquito nets will prevent the spread of malaria whose conditions are perfected by current conditions of stagnant water around the sites.lt/pgtltpgtThe intervention will primarily target the displaced households in Ceel cade IDP Camp, Surtaag IDP Camp, Maykarebi IDP Camp, Beer Bilaan IDP Camp, Masiirka IDP Camp, Alleqabe IDP Camp. DINSOR IDP Camp and Wadajir in Luuq district and In  Belet Hawa, the target locations include Dhow, 8aad, Dhabat, Xananleey and Qansax oomane.ltbrgtlt/pgtltp style="margin: 0cm" class="MsoNormal"gtltbrgtThe standard NFI kits and two plastic sheets

will be targeted at the same households that have lost basic non food items and whose shelters have been destroyed or need improvement to protect women, children, elderly and persons living with disability from rain, wind and cold. The total target number of 3350 households translates to 20,100 people including 3316 men, 3718 women, 6634 boys and 6432 girls.lt/pgtltp style="margin: 0cm" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="caret-color: rgb(0, 0, 0) color: rgb(0, 0, 0) font-family: Calibri, sans-serif font-size: medium font-style: normal font-variant-caps: normal font-weight: normal letter-spacing: normal text-transform: none white-space: normal word-spacing: 0px text-decoration: none -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px"gtltbrgtHAPEN lt/spangtwill coordinate closely with Trocaire (Health partner), SORDES and NCA, (WASH partners) whose interventions combine to address the effects of floods from a multi-sectoral perspective in the spirit of convergence and complementarity as advanced by this reserve allocation. HAPEN will also coordinate closely with other partners working towards flood response in the target districts and local administration whose duty of care for the affected population places them at the centre of any response. ltbrgtThe key consideration in beneficiary selection will be the families whose shelter and basic household items  have been destroyed by the current flooding. These are IDPs who had earlier been displaced by drought and had not recovered before the floods set in.  Households with pregnant and lactating mothers, elderly, people living with disabilities (PLWDs, child-heads, women-headed and those with a high number of children under 5 years will receive special consideration during the actual selection of final beneficiaries. ltbrgtA standard community response and feedback mechanism (CRFM) will be established to facilitate gathering of feedback and complaints from the affected population. It will primarily include CRFM desks and a hotline. Other channels will include suggestion boxes and camp management. ltbrgtProtection will be mainstreamed throughout the implementation period to ensure the principle of Do no harm is upheld. The project will promote integration between IDPs and host communities in order to improve the protective environment as a longer-term benefit for all especially women, girls, members of minority groups and people living with disability. Participatory approaches will be employed where community teams tasked to make decisions about the project will include women, representatives of persons with disabilities, the marginalized and minorities throughout the project lifecycle. ltbrgtOnce distribution is completed, a post distribution monitoring will be conducted to determine how effective the distribution was by focusing on quantity and quality of items, participation, distribution process, usefulness to the beneficiaries, protection considerations during the implementation and impact among others. The PDM will utilize the Shelter Cluster PDM tools. The use of these tools which will target 70% of the beneficiaries will be closely coordinated with the Shelter Cluster.ltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtltbrgtlt/pgt
