Building resilience of vulnerable groups through increased protection mechanisms and enhancing livel According to the WHO (16/03/2015) the outbreak of Ebola Haemorrhagic Fever in West Africa has recorded more than 24,000 confirmed and suspected cases to date, across West Africa including 10,144 deaths. 48% of all cases have occurred in Sierra Leone , the country hardest hit by the outbreak, but the true impact is far greater. The ACAPs Ebola situation update (09-16 March) demonstrates this greater impact on food security, nutrition, child protection and spread of disease.
The negative impact of EVD on the communities continues, In addition, schools were closed since July 2014 as many were transformed into Community Care Centres (CCC) and even though these have been re-open there are issues with parents allowing their children to attend school.  The poorest and most vulnerable members of the communities, including older people, people with disabilities, children, young girls and women, have been hit the hardest. For example, older men and women due to their traditional caring roles in the community; people with disabilities due to restricted mobility, loss of sight; young girls who have not been at school have been at risk of becoming pregnant and have heightened protection issues due to lack of schooling over long periods. 
CAFODs work on the ground has identified that orphans and widows, carers, often older aged women and young children as other specific vulnerable groups, especially in households where both parents, including the bread winner, has died due to EVD and grandparents or adolescent siblings have assumed a carers role.  
The project seek to achieve the following;
a) 1,325 vulnerable Ebola affected  individuals (focus on women and girls) demonstrate improved livelihoods and food security by end of month 12; 
b) By month 12 at least 2,250 vulnerable persons affected by EVD demonstrate improved wellbeing as a result of psychosocial support provided across 2 districts; 
c) At least 350 vulnerable children are reunited with family members by month 12 as a result of improved protection services being provided across two districts; 
d) At least 1,200 girls and boys return to school and their education is resumed by month 6, as a result of providing basic school support/equipment and materials in two districts; 
e) project partners demonstrate strengthened capacity to ensure improved coordination, accountability and that compliance to international standards are met.

Immediate life-saving support to people living with HIV/AIDS affected by flooding and mudslide in Fr During the night of 13th August into the morning of 14th August the greater Freetown area was hit by heavy rainfall, resulting in massive flooding that destroyed houses in several communities and caused the drowning of many people. A massive mudslide occurred at Regent in the early morning hours of 14th of August, destroying over one hundred houses. Over ten low lying communities were flooded on the same morning. As of 19th August 2017, burials of over 300 recovered bodies has been completed. An estimated 1,000 households were affected and around 6,000 displaced (ONS, 19/08/2017). Some have found temporary shelter at schools, churches, mosques and community centres at Regent, Dwazak, Kaningo and Kamayama. While recovery efforts are still ongoing, the humanitarian response efforts are addressing the immediate needs of the affected population.

This 1 week UNAIDS funded project will provide basic items and services for 100 households of PLHIV affected by flooding and mudslide, including food, NFIs, modalities for cash transfer and access to treatment.
Contruction of borehole well at one of our target communities (Sengema) This grant will support Sengema Community with the construction of a borehole well. The community has challenges to provide sufficient and safe drinking water for the people. They trek miles away to fetch water from a small stream which is unsafe for drinking. Without clean water it is difficult to provide a safe living environment for the community. Sengema community is one of the target communities under the Jerusalem Trust project. The project hired water well supplier to dug, after several attempts, they were not able as a result of the plenty rocks around the community.

Promoting inclusive civic participation, violence free, fair and peaceful election The project is initiated to harnessed collaboration among three partners with long lasting work on the democratic and electoral processes in Sierra Leone. The proposed project will specifically target Port Loko, Kambia, Karene, Bombali, Kailahun, Kenema, Kono, Western Area Urban & Rural whiles the other districts will also benefit from few of the project activities. These districts were deliberately selected on the bases that they are mainly associated as hotspot districts and decline of women’s participation in the electoral process from all bye-elections conducted since the 2018 General Election. This project is complementing the efforts of the Electoral Commission of Sierra Leone (ECSL) charged with the legal responsibility to run the affairs of state elections and synergy of efforts with other state actors contributing to the democratic and electoral process in Sierra Leone. 
In the recent national voters’ registration conducted across the country, IRCSL, 50/50 Group and FVMC significantly contributed to the registration process by raising mass national awareness using diverse modes to commit voters’ interests to register. This proposed project aligns with CAFOD’s integral ecology model that build the connections and relationships needed for healthy, flourishing communities and environments embedded with community well-being, including conflict prevention and resolution, justice and peace and broader civic issues. The IRCSL will be the lead implementing partner and bears the primary responsibility of accountability to CAFOD. The IRCSL had been supported by CAFOD to contribute to the democratic and electoral processes, environmental sustainability, national cohesion, peacebuilding, COVID-19 awareness raising, humanitarian response and capacity building support.

Increasing community access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene to improve income and production This project is setting out to contributing to CAFOD’s Food and Livelihoods Security and the Emergency Preparedness, Response and Recovery thematic programme frameworks – as set out in the CAFOD Sierra Leone and Liberia Country Strategy Paper (2016-2021).  Street Child of Sierra Leone is an implementing Partner for CAFOD, and will be working in collaboration with other partners in Kambia District with requisite expertise in delivering key aspects of the programme. The project will be implemented in communities that were heavily affected by Ebola. The outcomes of this project are in line with the Sierra Leonean Presidents’ Recovery Priorities, which is a 24 month plan that includes Water and Agriculture as key sectors.
Kambia District is in the Northern Province, and borders with the Republic of Guinea to the North, Port Loko district to the South and Bombali district to the East. Kambia town is the largest town, and the district capital. There is a diverse district population in Kambia, because of its location and bothering towns with Themnes, Susus in the majority, followed by other ethnic groups such as Madingos, Fullahs and Limbas. The average household size1 is 7 people per family. 
The livelihood activities of the district residents are mainly farming (rice and roots crops - cassava and yam), followed by cross-border trade with neighboring Guinea. People also engage in fishing and very small scale animal rearing. Men engage in fishing activities, while fish trading in the market is carried out by women. Exchange and hiring of labor is a common practice in the district particularly during the planting and harvest seasons. However, in 2014 this activity drastically dropped compared to pre-Ebola in 2013 and had a significant impact on the seasonal household income. CAFOD has therefore identified Livelihood and Food security support as one of its thematic areas of support in this district, to address the huge post-ebola challenge of reviving the livelihood sector especially in Masungbala Chiefdom, which is one of the most disadvantaged chiefdoms in the district.
Emergency Food Security Assessment 2015 findings indicated that the Ebola outbreak has negatively impacted the district population, affecting the vital livelihood activities of crop production (mainly rice). 71 % of the district residents are moderate to severely food insecure.
Bridging Grant - Caritas Makeni Caritas Makeni in partnership with CAFOD is anticipating a three year grant from the EC for the implementation of livelihoods activities in Bombali district. The anticipated  EC grant, in addition to other funding windows of Caritas Makeni supporting livelihoods programs, require adequate logistical capacity and effective community sensitization for sustainable outcomes ahead of project implementation. To this end, and cognizant of the need for a sound foundation before commencement of implementation, Caritas Makeni requires a bridging grant to fill institutional capacity gaps and to set up a robust sensitization campaigns on community based livelihoods options. Caritas Makeni has proven to be a strategic partner of CAFOD and as such requires adequate and appropriate capacity to implement livelihoods projects in a professional and sustainable manner.

These thoughts have been put together and will be implemented with CAFOD monitoring the process closely.
Women Leaders of Tomorrow (WLT) The Project WLT aims to build a strong and diverse network of aspiring young students of Southern Punjab  to become future leaders across a range of different schools  and communities previously targeted under project GEM. Through a series of leadership workshops and mentoring opportunities, the project seeks to connect young girls from different schools and encourage a culture of leadership and active participation. Primarily through a carefully chalked out scholarship support initiative, the goal of the Women Leaders of Tomorrow is to prepare promising female students for success in their future career pathways. The basic aim is to make young girls learn and understand not to let their background, faith, race or gender affect their choices, ambitions and career in their lives rather lead the trajectory of their lives by making informed choices . With this particular approach, Women Leaders of Tomorrow (WLT) will unfold and promote range of opportunities for young girls to live their ambitions. The project aims to remind female students their intrinsic strength and power to be and bring the change within and around them and that is all about this project.  The conceptual framework of this project is based on two things. Firstly, the project Girls Education Matters (GEM) successfully completed its year -wise 5th cycle in March 2015 and secondly, acute demand by the young girls, parents and communities of the Southern Punjab of Pakistan made Oxfam explore new ideas to respond differently to their needs and requirements. The logical upward transition from Girls Education Matter (GEM) to the Women Leaders of Tomorrow (WLT) came naturally as the progress and success stories are supposed to be taken to the next level. Simultaneously, Oxfam Great Britain in Pakistan has recently formulated its new Country Strategy for the next 5 years with very clear and prime focus on empowering young girls, women leadership and youth engagement under its Gender Justice Programme.
Building Urban Resilient Communities in Pakistan The project will be implemented in two cities along with two local implementing partners (Association for Gender Awareness & Human Empowerment (AGAHE) & Omer Asghar Khan Foundation). The project uses a climate change and vulnerable communities lens for all project interventions with the following path. 1) Communities can only thrive and build their resilience if they are engaged in the entire planning process; 2) Engagement of vulnerable groups especially women and youth has to be prioritized'; and 3) Scale and sustainability can only be achieved if there is multi -stakeholder buy -in and structural issues are addressed which prevent communities voice and needs reflected within the local planning process.
