Creating Access to Learning through Radio for IDPs/Returnees/host communities in Remote Areas of SNNPR and Somali Region. The IRC’s Education in Emergencies (EiE) project aims at ensuring children have access to learning within crisis affected communities in Sidama and Guraghe Zones of the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Region (SNNPR) and Jarar Zone of the Somali Region.

The IRC will provide solar powered radios to crisis-affected boys and girls at the household level ensuring that they have access to radio lessons broadcasted by the Regional Bureau of Educations (REB), while schools are closed in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The radio lessons will enable children to continue learning during school closures and will contribute to protecting their mental health and well-being. 

The IRC will also provide remote guidance to teachers on how to provide support to their students and ensure that they are learning the lessons broadcasted through radio. This will be done using the most convenient and available means, which will be assessed prior to implementation. Teachers will receive ongoing mentoring and coaching which will support their active involvement in the radio lessons. In return, teachers will support students via phone calls. This will give students an opportunity to ask questions that they had not understood when they listened to the radio lessons, and will create an active dialogue and connection between the students and teachers. 

The IRC will translate into the local languages and print key messages, though flyers (with pictures) to raise awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic which will include how to regularly wash hands, keep social distance and reduce misinformation among students, parents/caregivers and the larger community. The distribution will be made with maximum precautions to avoid COVID-19 infection, this will include ensuring social distancing and hygiene practices are practices. This will significantly contribute to the prevention measures within the target communities. The IRC will also procure and distribute hygiene kits (soap) so that the target communities will be better able to protect themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic. If the COVID-19 pandemic continues for a longer period, the IRC will continue dialogue and work with the REBs on the continuation of radio lessons. When the COVID-19 situation improves, the IRC will closely work with the REBs to support grades 8 and 12 students to have accelerated learning programs (ALP) in order to catch up on missed classes and in preparation of  the regional and national school examinations respectively. The IRC will also establish hand washing facilities and disinfect schools to ensure that schools are safe from potential COVID-19 infections when they reopen.
Fostering food security and resilience of IDPs and host communities in Liben zone, Somali region 10,200 HHs (61,200 individuals) living in Kersadula and Dhekasuftu Woredas of Liben zone in Somali region require an urgent humanitarian intervention to endure new and chronic shocks, currently jeopardizing their food security and threatening their livelihood strategies.
This urgent intervention is required due to the increasing vulnerability of IDPs and community members to malnutrition, and children and PLWs among them, as well as the aggravating chronic food insecurity exacerbated by the current desert locust (DLs) invasion and the impact of Covid-19 on the economics.
By integrating livestock and agriculture activities, COOPI will support the recovery and resilience of the targeted HHs protecting both their agriculture and livestock assets. 
COOPI will provide a life-saving assistance to 10,200 vulnerable HHs, made of 4,400 IDPs HHs and 5,800 host community HHs living in the 8 kebeles of Kersadula and Dhekasuftu Woredas: Kersadula Woreda Center, Huriyo, Tofiq, Daruselam, Dheka, Bundaqaran, Waley and Hayasuftu.
The following activities will be delivered through this project: support the livestock mass vaccinations covering 288,000 livestock heads and treatment of 8,300 12 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) serving IDPs and neighboring community will be trained on basic livestock health services and equipped with veterinary kits 60 hectares of potential rangelands will be thinned from invading bush and rehabilitated by introducing local adaptable forage seeds (4 kg/Ha) involving 200 IDP HHs targeted through cash for work 400 HHs (200 IDP and 200 host community HHs) will be provided with 13,058 Kg of locally adapted cereal, leguminous and vegetable seeds, and agricultural inputs, including hand tools (hoes, rakes, shovels), quality pesticides and fertilizers to improve crop production, 2 manual rotary tillers and 4 motor water pumps (1 rotary tiller and 2 water pumps per woreda). Among the 400 HHs targeted by agriculture activities, 100 HHs (50 from IDPs and 50 from host communities) will be trained in dry land and vegetable farming and disseminate knowledge among the remaining beneficiaries of agriculture activities. Among the 200 IDP HHs engaged in cash for work, 56 individuals (7 per site) will receive training in rangeland management, and will also disseminate knowledge within their communities. Specific SoPs will be followed throughout project implementation to ensure that COVID-19 prevention measures are enforced and followed by all stakeholders, including COOPI staff, beneficiaries and local authorities.
Having a permanent presence in the targeted Woredas and working in the Somali Region for over 10 years, COOPI will ensure a timely life-saving intervention supporting pastoral and agro-pastoral communities.
Augmentation of logistics capacity, information management, coordination for the humanitarian community The Logistics Cluster aims to undertake preparedness measures that will allow for an increased readiness in responding to sudden crises, thus ensuring humanitarian organizations have access to logistics resources and capacity to reach affected population to support COVID-19. These measures include the provision of domestic air services for cargo to carry out urgently needed humanitarian items to local airports in Ethiopia until October 2020 the Logistics Cluster plans to procure 40 Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) to be distributed amongst the region based on priority of needs to ensure that additional temporary storage capacity is available to be deployed to strategic response locations where storage space is scarce and propositioning is needed. Where applicable and contingent on access, WFP may bilaterally provide humanitarian organizations MSUs to augment their storage capacity.
Emergency WASH Response to displacement affected population in Liben zone, Somali Region This project targets prioritized zone in Somali region covering 4 woredas and 8 IDP sites reaching 26,451 individuals (13,541 F, 12,910 M). The target IDPs and host communities affected by conflict and live in spontaneous sites or settled within the host communities. The selected woredas are classified as severe by the WASH Cluster with limited basic services and were selected in close collaboration with Somali regional WASH cluster .The project aims to have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services for the IDPs and host community women, men, boys and girls in the target locations. At the same time help in mitigating the spread of COVID-19 in the target locations as some of these camps are congested thus at high risk. This will be achieved through improving access to secure gender-sensitive water and sanitation facilities and intensive hygiene promotion activities. The facilities will conform to cultural norms of users, and through increased awareness of key public health risks and adoption of good Hygiene practices of targeted population in the zone. To ensure inclusion of all population groups, NRC will identify people with special needs and measures undertaken in the execution of the interventions or referred to specialized partners. Housing, land and property (HLP) assessment will be undertaken at the start of the project led by NRC core competency of Information, Counseling and Legal Assistance (ICLA). This assessment will identify protection issues as well as land issues which will guide implementation of planned infrastructures in this project.  This will minimize any disputes or tensions over land ownership thus fostering good co-existence in the target locations. Activities related to outputs such as awareness raising campaigns and Hygiene promotion trainings, adequate water provision and the provision of hand washing stations, including trainings provision related to operation, maintenance amp management to WASH committees will support sustainable WASH infrastructure and services. This will ultimately improve public health status of the targeted population in proposed intervention locations.Recently agreed and endorsed "Guidelines for Needs Based Targeting of Humanitarian Response in Displacement Areas,April 2019" by National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC) will be used to ensure all assistance will be need based. NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 7 months with flexibility to adjust in case of  sudden spike in returned IDP numbers or new life threatening crises occurs. The project is integrated with other NRC core competencies of Education , ICLA, Livelihood and Food Security (LFS) and Shelter/ESNFI. This will ensure the beneficiaries receive an all inclusive interventions addressing most of their needs. Collaboration will also be done with health and nutrition partners to ensure unified approach given the close link between WASH, Health and Nutrition.
Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) for war-affected communities in selected woredas of Tigray Region The project intends to respond to the Humanitarian crisis that erupted in Ethiopia, Tigray region due to the war or law enforcement operation launched by the Federal Government of Ethiopia. The project is designed to provide Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) services in affected 10 woredas in Eastern, Southern, South East, Central, and North Western zones. This project will facilitate access to displaced and vulnerable communities due to the ongoing conflict to essential health services through deploying Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) and surge support to manage referrals from the MHNTs and strengthen the local health system in health facilities. 

The direct beneficiaries of the project for health will be 230,068 affected communities benefited from the consultations and treatment, routine vaccination, MCH service, SAM without complication care, and supplementary feeding for MAM. The Team is also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and DHIS 2 on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks, 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 underserved communities, The team also provide MHPSS services including trauma care for most vulnerable communities in the areas and re functionalizing the local health system supporting Health workers and HEWs on surveillance and outbreak management. The project also integrates key support on COVID-19 prevention and WaSH support. The project will ensure strong coordination and partnerships with humanitarian response organizations and the regional interim government as well as the Federal government to harmonize and achieve sustainable impacts on the communities affected. 

The project will be implemented for a period of five months to cover the immediate health and nutrition emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality and mortality attributable to negative outcomes of war, food insecurity, and outbreaks including Covid-19 with a total budget of USD 750,000 USD.
Emergency Livestock and Agricultural input Integrated Project: Desert locust and other shocks affected Pastoral and Agro-pastoral Communities  in Afar and Oromia regions, Ethiopia The proposed project will contribute to protection and sustaining livelihood of vulnerable households affected by desert locust and other shocks (COVID-19, flood, conflict and drought) in Arero, Guchi, Wachile and Moyale woredas of Borana, Oromia and Gewane, Dulecha, Chifra and Awura woredas Afar region. Livelihoods of 150,000  households (HH) or 750,000 pastoral and agro-pastoralist individuals in these regions will be protected, livestock morbidity and mortality in the target areas will be reduced by at least 30%. At least 450,000 heads of livestock from 150,000 households will be vaccinated against sporadic and contagious diseases like Contagious Bovine Pleuropneumonia (CBPP), Contagious Caprine Pleuropneumonia (CCPP), Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR), Lumpy skin disease (LSD), sheep and Goat pox, Bovine and pateurellosis. 21,000 heads of affected livestock population from 7,000 HHs in the targeted areas will be treated against specific diseases . 925 HHs will be provided with fodder. The capacity of 52 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) will be strengthened through training and provision of essential equipment to support in the livestock vaccination campaigns and treatment livestock. In addition, 1500 Agro-pastoralist households will be provided with agricultural input (emergency seed and farm tools).

This response focuses on maintaining and restoring basic assets/needs of the targeted households to enable them to cope with the current situation within the shortest possible period of time. The multiple burden and overlap of disasters caused by the Desert Locust, Covid-19 restrictions and the flood among other challenges heightened the loss of the assets of the households and makes them extremely vulnerable. Therefore, a quick response is the highest priority to sustain livelihoods and to tackle/minimize the negative consequences. The selected activities contribute to protect, maintain and restore assets of the vulnerable households at the 5 target woredas which have lost their scant resources drastically due to the various calamities that forced them into displacement, unplanned sale of animals, and sending children to other places. 

Provision of agricultural inputs plays significant role to start and restore their primary livelihood activities and to tackle food and nutrition insecurity and increase the coping capacity of the households. The purpose of focusing on the animal feeding for the core-breeding livestock is to diversify food and nutrition resources through milk production and the reproduction of the useful livestock that improves the household income.

GBV response  Services  for Internally Displaced Persons in East Guji  Zone of Oromia region The GBV response  service project will be implemented in Liben woreda of Guji zone in Oromia regional state of Ethiopia. Guji zone( sometimes called East Guji)  of Oromia region hosted internally displaced persons due to conflict. Liben zone is one of the woredas of Guji hosting IDPs in 18 sites ( 15,120 females and 14, 951 males) as per the round 21 DTM report of IOM.
 Using the 2020 first round EHF allocation, UNFPA  through its IP has a plan to provide psycho-social support services support referral for additional services, provide sanitary materials for internally displaced women and girls and undertake mobile outreach activities to raise awareness on GBV risk mitigation measures, available GBV response services and COVID19 infection prevention measures. UNFPA and its IP will also provide technical support to Women, Children and Youth Affairs Offices to establish and regularly update GBV referral pathway, facilitating referral for additional services and ensuring functional GBV coordination for the provision of minimum standard multi-sectoral GBV response services for survivors of GBV. UNFPA and its IPs will also closely work with health facilities in the target woreda to ensure provision of medical care services to survivors of sexual violence. The project activities will be implemented though deployment of Psycho-social Support Officers and Social workers for a duration of six months in selected IDP sites in Liben woreda.
Integrated multi-sector emergency response for displacement affected population (IDPs) in Oromia (Borena zone) and Somali (Shabelle zone) regional states of Ethiopia This response plan will address the critical emergency needs of most vulnerable internally displaced population (IDPs) in Guchi woreda (Dawbala Amesa IDP site) of Borena Zone and Adadale town of Somali region through an integrated multi-sector Nutrition, Health, WASH, MHPSS, Protection and ES/NFI interventions. All the targeted IDP sites are listed as priority one in the UN Multisectoral response Plan for IDP sites document and the EHF 2nd allocation paper because of their high emergency need. 
Oromia and Somali regions are the top two regions in the country in need of humanitarian assistance. These two regions hosted more than 80% of the total IDPs according to the Ethiopian National Displacement Report. A site condition assessment conducted by Somali Region Shelter and NFI, WASH and Health Clusters identified that the impact of COVID-19 disproportionately affecting Women and children with extreme Health, Nutrition, NFI, WASH and Protection needs. Action Against Hunger (Somali Base Protection sector) has been actively participating in the Somali Region CP/GBV AoR Protection Sub-cluster coordination platform and we are providing Monthly 5Ws for both Oromia and Somali Region to national CP/GBV AoR.   The effects of COVID-19 global pandemic, flash floods, conflict and massive invasion of desert locusts have doubled the number of people in need of humanitarian assistance.
Under this project,73,804 men, women, boys and girls' basic emergency needs will be addressed through specialized nutrition and protection activities, general health activities, provision of water and sanitation access, hygiene promotion and awareness raising activities and provision of ES/NFIs. The Protection team works closely with the nutrition and health team in targeting families with lt5 children and PLWs and in providing psychological support and on risk communication and community engagement activities. The ES/NFI team works together with the nutrition staffs to target the most vulnerable community groups by giving primary priority for those families with lt5 MAM and SAM children and PLW. The WASH team works with the health staffs on the COVID-19 infection prevention activities and ensures hand washing facilities installed in major public locations.

The project proposes to reach 30,000 beneficiaries with a total budget of $ 100000.

FIDO’s interventions are in line with the cluster’s suggestion in terms of prioritized location, intervention types and budget allocation. FIDO will assure close collaboration with WASH cluster in implementing the proposed project.
Integrated multi sectoral response project in West Hararghe and Borena zones of Oromia Region Ethiopia is facing an unprecedented crisis due to multiple hazards  including displacement, devastating desert locust invasion, widespread flooding and rising food prices compounded by COVID 19 pandemic. According to the revised HRP in August 2020, humanitarian needs increased to 16 million people, exacerbated by the multi-sector impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately impacts crisis-affected communities.According to the Mid-Year Review of the Humanitarian Response Plan-2020 (MYR-HRP), a recent analysis using WASH, health, and shelter indicators highlighted that IDPs in 56 sites live in overcrowded settings making physical distancing nearly impossible and with inadequate hygiene and shelter facilities as well as health services. Moreover, The ICCG through convergence approach identified priority woredas with multi-sectoral needs prioritized by four or more clusters 

With this application CARE and ANE are partnering to provide integrated multi-sectorial lifesaving assistance and durable solution to 32573 IDPs and host communities in Borena and West Hararghe zones of Oromia Region. The proposed action is in alignment with the strategic objectives of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP 20200 and is directly linked to the Inter Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) allocation strategic prioritization in the context of the MYR-HRP. The proposed interventions are prioritized activities of the respective clusters and project locations are among areas with the highest requirements by at least three sectors as identified by the Inter-Cluster Coordination Group

In Tulo woreda of West Hararghe, CARE will implement integrated WASH, Nutrition, health and Protection response targeting 4545 multiple crisis affected households. In Guchi Woreda of Borena zone, CARE and ANE will target one of the 10 identified high-risk IDP sites (Dawbala Amesa) with WASH, shelter NFIs and Health responses. The modality for the shelter NFI will be cash and in-kind as per the HRP's cash first principle in areas where markets are functioning. In both locations, CARE will mainstream Gender and Protection in all response sectors.
