Provision of Assistance and Site Management Support to IDPs in the Tigray Region In line with the strategic objectives of the EHF's third reserve allocation aiming to support IDPs living in collective sites and host communities and voluntary returns, UNHCR and partners will prioritize CCCM activities in areas uncovered by CCCM actors, and especially in Central and Northwestern Tigray IDP sites. The project will target 64,462 IDPs living in Abi Adi, Maichew but also living in Selekleka and Sheraro IDP sites, in great suffering and need of humanitarian assistance as no humanitarian aid had reached them so far. 

The project seeks to strengthen life-saving protection and assistance through a coordinated response by reinforcing Camp Management and Camp Management (CCCM) activities which will be implemented through the conventional CCCM camp-based and the Out of Camp Area Based Approaches (ABA). The project will be implemented with UNHCR partner and UNHCR will take lead of the project implementation by way of providing technical expertise, monitoring, and support to the authorities in coordination with partners and other actors at camp or site levels in the designated project locations. UNHCR and partners have consulted and agreed on specific target project locations 
by engaging the sector and the local authorities to ensure potential duplication is eliminated. CCCM will focus on: Coordination and capacity development, Support to IDPs living in host communities and in towns, Rehabilitation and decommissioning of public infrastructures. UNHCR and its partners will also strengthen durable solutions and support the return of IDPs to safe locations and site developments.
Provision of Site Management Support to IDPs in the Amhara Region In line with the the strategic objectives of EHF's second reserve allocation aiming to initiate the construction of IDP relocation sites in the Amhara region, UNHCR will provide site management support (SMS) with focus on site development and upgrades and capacity development initiatives. The goal is to ensure access to protection and basic service and improved living conditions for all IDPs, including persons with specific needs (PSN), living in the IDP sites and collective centers.
SWAN (Save the Children, World Vision, Action Against Hunger, Norwegian Refugee Council) Multi-sectoral integrated response in WASH, Health, and ES/NFI SWAN is a consortium delivering a flexible rapid humanitarian response mechanism to communities across Ethiopia affected by drought, conflict, disease outbreaks, and other humanitarian situations. The consortium led by Save the Children was founded in 2019 by SC, WV, AAH and NRC, and implementation is supported by local partners [Fayyaa Integrated Development Organization, OWS Development Fund, and Development for Peace Organization (DPO)]. Agencies deliver rapid responses to communities across Ethiopia in the areas of WASH, Health, ESNFI, and protection.

SWAN members will continue to lead on the sector they are assigned to (i.e SCI-Health, WV-WASH, NRC-ES/NFI) to ensure expertise is applied, including procurement experience/leveraging existing FWAs with preferred suppliers and adequate quality Supply Chain controls. SWAN Rapid Response Team will continue to be on standby to start collection of multisector data within a maximum of a week. The SWAN’s operational manual ensures rapid decision-making among consortium members, so that information and issues are escalated to the Cluster in real time. SWAN will regularly collaborate with each of the clusters, including UNICEF, IOM and WHO on the SWAN priority intervention sectors, and other clusters. SWAN is flexible to respond to urgent lifesaving needs in other locations.
Lifesaving Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items Response for 2580 IDP households In Gode and Kelafo woerdas of Shebele zone of Somali region. The below normal and failure of the deyr/meher 2021 season has been observed in most of the Somali region. The region is disaster-prone and experienced diverse humanitarian crises that have aggravated the humanitarian needs in the region, and drought is currently the most significant crisis that resulted in extensive loss of livelihoods and massive displacement. Drought forces pastoralists to move significantly further than normal with their livestock to find water and pasture. After the first failed rainy season, the loss of livelihood caused by drought
also resulted in an increase in internal displacement. Somali region hosts more than 871,176 IDPs scattered in different zones and woredas of the region.
Somali region ranks second in the regional targets, having 3.9M people targeted. As the Es/NFI dashboard (published in October 2021) shows, only 1.4M peoples have been reached so far, which is only 37% of the cluster target (3.9M). In Somali region only 23% has been reached and the gap remains 70% with the remaining 7% under commitment. 
The project will target two woredas of Gode and Kelafo which are found in Shebele zone of Somali region. The proposed intervention will support the most vulnerable crisis affected individuals by providing lifesaving emergency shelter and non-food items for 2580 drought affected IDP households including affected persons with disability. The intervention will target HHs whose living standards and ability to pursue normal productive and social activities are low, and who are unable to meet this basic needs due to drought who need emergency shelter and non-food items (ESNFI). 

These all, the process will be done considering the COVID19 precautions both for OWDA staff and targeted beneficiaries in line with the current pandemic disease and its means of transmission. OWDA will ensure to minimize COVID19 pandemic dissemination by putting in place adequate prevention measures like facemasks, handwashing facilities, using sanitizer, and ensuring social distancing during the distribution. The provision of ESNFI is critical to the survival of displaced and host community households as they are at risk of violence, especially women and girls. As the needs assessment revealed women and girls are disproportionately affected by the crises and are vulnerable. Despite the provision of ESNFI, the intervention ensured gender mainstreaming in the designing of project components while integrating activities, such as awareness-raising and distribution of IEC materials on gender equality. While ensuring the involvement of women and girls in every step of implementation, OWDA will ensure distribution is conducted by a gender-balanced team while creating a safe environment.
Livelihood based Emergency Response for drought affected IDP population in Mustahil, Fer-Fer, and Higloley Woredas of Shabele and Korahe Zones, Somali Region This project proposal is submitted by ADRA Ethiopia in response to the prevailing drought emergency situation in Mustahil and Fer-Fer woredas of Shebele zone and Higloley woreda of Korahe Zone. The major objective of the action is to prevent further deterioration of food security and protect livelihoods of vulnerable household hard-hit by the worst drought since the last four decades. The current drought is triggered by the failure of rain in the last three consecutive seasons.  Over the period from October 2020 to December 2021 there has been below average rainfall during the Gu and Deyir rains which caused a critical shortage of pasture and water coupled with starvation and drought induced diseases resulting in a sharp decline of milk production, deterioration of livestock body condition, death of approximately 1.5 million livestock. This disaster has affected approximately 4.1 million individuals until 1st April 2022. 

In response to the above drought emergency situation, ADRA Ethiopia hereby proposes lifesaving and livelihoods protection interventions according the priorities set by the HRP plan 2022 for immediate and short term humanitarian actions. The project spans for six months as of April to October 2022 The targeted population in the project intervention areas are listed to have severity level 4 based on the recent HEA. Accordingly, and in due alignment with the latest cluster gap analysis the following key actions will be implemented: 

1. Provision of emergency agricultural inputs and farm tools- locally adoptable seeds of maize and Sudan Grass will be provided for fodder production. Households will also be supported from the provision of fuel and a set of farm tools for reinstating irrigation

2. Support emergency animal health interventions – under this key action, ADRA will implement voucher-based livestock treatment, CAHWs training, support to livestock disease surveillance and livestock vaccination campaigns. 

3. Provision of emergency livestock feed – under this specific action point, ADRA will provide emergency animal feed to protect core breeding animals while it also progressing the production of fodder through provision of fodder seeds and farm tools

4. Emergency cash distribution - ADRA will provide emergency cash to most vulnerable households in order to meet their immediate food and non-food needs. This will be conditional and unconditional cash transfer modality.  
ADRA Ethiopia will ensure utmost care in delivering the above core actions to meet the critical humanitarian needs of the targeted pastoral and agro-pastoral communities through strong coordination, harmonization, monitoring, evaluation and inclusive approaches. Particular consideration will be made to ensure accountability, transparency, gender and climate sensitive strategies towards saving lives and protecting livelihoods.

Emergency shelter and NFI support for conflict-affected IDPs and returnees in Sekota and Zequala Woredas in Wag Hamara zone, Amhara Region The northern conflict started in November 2020, and the tension spilled over to Amhara regions as a result, 1.8 million people were displaced and lost their assets. According to the UNOCHA report, on March 31, 2022, in Amhara, the situation along areas bordering Tigray, namely in Wag Hamra, North Wollo, and North Gondar zones, remains volatile. Several locations remain hard to reach for humanitarian operations, including Abergele, Tsagibji kebeles, some parts of Zequala kebeles in Wag Hamra Zone, and large parts of Kobo in North Wollo Zone and Addi Arkay in North Gondar. However, according to April 14, update in Amhara, the situation in the above woredas and zones, remained unpredictable but relatively calm during the reporting period. In addition, according to the DTM report in February 2022, 462,529 IDPs and 1.4 million returnee IDPs are living in the region.  The regional government authorities continued with the relocation of IDPs in Kobo and Sekota.  In Wag Hamra, more than 4,000 IDPs have been relocated to the Weleh IDP site, out of an estimated 12,000 IDPs in the zone planned for relocation. While regional authorities and a few humanitarian partners are constructing basic facilities at the relocation sites and providing essential assistance including food, there is still a vast need and setting-up proper camp structures mainly emergency shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene, health and nutrition services, and non-food items. .  In Wag Hahmara zone shelter is the most pressing need of IDPs there is a large number of homeless, and they sleep in open spaces and rent in the host community, and it is difficult for them to afford the monthly payments
Since the crises occurred in the region, CARE has provided emergency shelter and NFI assistance for the conflict-affected peoples in South wollo, North wollo, South Gondar, and North Gondar zones. CARE has a longstanding presence in the Amhara region with different programs, to address the huge needs through this project in coordination with YNDI local partners plan to respond to the current crises in the Wag Harmar zone through emergency shelters and NFI.  
Hence, the objectives of the project are to improve the protection risks by ensuring the conflict-affected people have adequate safety, dignity, well-being, and equitable access to shelter solutions and to strengthen access to appropriate live-saving  Non-food Items (NFI) to safeguard the health and protection of the displacement affected population. This project will target 3200 households or 14,400 people in Sekota(2700HHs) and Zequal (500 HHs) to assist with Communal shelter, disability-inclusive NFI items, and cash for rent. For the implementation of the project, 800,175 USD is proposed.
The project shall be implemented for five-six months(June-November 2022)
Prepositioning of fund for 48-hour emergency ESNF and WASH response in Afar region (Envelop 3) The overall humanitarian situation in Ethiopia has significantly deteriorated in 2022 leading to increased humanitarian needs across the country due to several concurrent crises, including the ongoing conflict and violence, and climatic shocks such as the prolonged drought and floods. The renewed escalation of hostilities in northern Ethiopia over the last few weeks is having a toll on the vulnerable population and is seriously affecting the humanitarian response, increasing the emergency needs of the most vulnerable populations across much of northern Ethiopia, including in Afar, Amhara and Tigray regions. The situation remains extremely alarming, impacting the lives and livelihoods of civilians, with more than already 13 million people in need of humanitarian assistance before the escalation, while humanitarian organizations are facing very serious challenges in getting aid to those who need it most( OCHA/ EHF allocation strategy document October 2022). The proposed project is an integrated  responses to affected communities in Afar Region. 

This project is part of the first standard allocation, Envelop-3 to preposition funds for 48 hours emergency response, and the fragile nature of the Afar region due to frequent crises and there is a need to have standby response to activate the response immediately.
Livelihood Protection to Drought Affected Communities in Charati and Elkarra woreda, Afder Zone, Somali Region Pastoralist Concern (PC) proposes this project to urgently address the immediate needs of the most vulnerable children, women, elderly, and persons with disabilities within the IDPs and Host communities affected by conflict, drought, and Chareti and Elkare woredas of Afder Zone, Somali region. PC has a long stay and current presence in the operational woredas and Afder zone, long year partnership with the concerned line offices and ample experience in the thematic areas under implementation. The overall objective of the project is to respond to the livestock and agriculture crop production needs to protect and sustain core-agricultural livelihoods of climate and conflict-affected households in Afder zone, Somali Region through humanitarian interventions in 2023. 
The project is to improve the living condition of 54,120.0 people (2,612.5 IDP and 48,801.5 host communities)living in the targeted areas. The project is focused on agriculture, which constitute 90% of the total budget, and MPC 10% as per the regional priority. The agriculture activities give emphasis to crop production, livestock health and feed as well as water infrastructure rehabilitation for livestock utilization. It will also support the population affected by drought and conflict through multi-purpose cash provision to use it flexibly prioritizing their needs by themselves which empower them to decide on their own needs.
In the agriculture sector, the project is planning to support vaccination campaigns and treatment of the government to protect livelihood against livestock disease. In this case logistical support for vaccination campaign, drug supply for treatment, and provision of training for government staff and community animal health workers along with veterinary kit provision are the major activities to bring about the required result. Regarding animal feed, Sudan grass seed will be provided to vulnerable and needy households to start fodder production of their own on top of TMR to fill the current gap of feed. To overcome the challenge of water shortage for livestock consumption existing water structures are going to be rehabilitated including troughs. The provision of multi-purpose cash will smoothen the current multifaceted hardship faced by the pastoral and agro-pastoral communities both IDP and host communities. 
The overall objective of the project is to save lives, prevent mortality rates and reduce the number of acute malnutrition and disease cases through integrated multi-sectoral activities in dignity. The sectoral activities are designed to complement each other in the course of addressing the immediate lifesaving action integrated with long-term durable solutions in support of the triple nexus. 
This project is intended to be implemented within a period 12 months starting from the beginning of February 2023. The budget proposed for this period to accomplish the planned activities.

the Ayrton Fund portfolio, this will build on 3 years of Faraday Institution research, development and
deployment under its existing TEA funding. The programme will be delivered through a research
programme and supporting actions to develop and test new, cheaper, more sustainable and safer
battery energy storage systems (BESS) to replace unsustainable diesel / petrol gensets, directly
addressing the Ayrton Fund’s three core research, development and demonstration (RD&D) themes.
Life saving support for conflict affected most vulnerable residents of Donetsk Oblast This project is designed to provide life-saving support to households that are headed by people above 60 or that have members with disabilities living in isolated settlements or in highest severity areas.
25 locations have been selected in Donetsk Oblast (GCA), located 5 km from the contact line, chosen in accordance with cluster's prioritization. 

In line with Reach Economic Security Assessment 2019 and cluster prioritization, main target group of the project is elderly (above 60) headed households and households that have members with disabilities. Often times these people suffer health complications, have limited financial resources for food, medicine and heating and have significant disruption in physical accessibility of services.  
These vulnerabilities will be addressed by the following project activity: 
Activity 1: provision of  800 cash grants for the most vulnerable conflict-affected people (households headed by elderly and households with members that have disabilities). The aim is to meet their immediate needs, which will alleviate their suffering and prevent further deterioration of their situation. The support period is 4 months transfer value is 36.7 USD per person per month. 

People that are unable to access Ukr Poshta to receive the cash or the local markets to do groceries (due to disability or illness, etc.) will be transported by Dorcas. Needs of different genders and age groups will be taken into account during the composition of a vulnerability scoring system. Inclusion of people with special needs will be assured on all stages of the project: their vulnerabilities and needs will be taken into account during the scoring system design, as well as the application/registration to the aid program. Elderly and disabled people will be able to apply for assistance and go through the application process by calling our helpline, or will be visited at their home by Dorcas staff. 

Main risks for the project are: (Increased) fighting along or beyond the contact line, currency fluctuations, corruption and fraud, logistical challenges (car accidents) due to poor infrastructure and harsh winters, unavailability of goods/services in local markets. How these risks will be mitigated is explained in section 7 of the proposal.

Dorcas has physical access to the affected population in the proposed project locations, having worked in that region previously. The proposed activities are in line with Dorcas expertise in cash (and protection) and with our operational capacity.
