Life-Saving Integrated Humanitarian Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Ethiopia The proposed intervention will provide life-saving Non-Food Items (NFIs), including Emergency Shelter (ES), as well as Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) assistance to conflict induced internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia Region) and Somali Region of Ethiopia.Priority locations identified for assistance by the Shelter/NFI Cluster planning meeting on 5 July 2018, include Guchi, Moyale, Dawe Serar and Sewena.)  In addition, this intervention will provide Site Management Support (SMS) to facilitate improved service delivery and increase the local authorities’ options for addressing protection concerns in collective centres, planned sites and temporary settings. 
Continued insecurity and ongoing localized inter-communal conflict between Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia Region) communities have led to the rapid displacement of over 800,000 individuals resulting in loss of assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. In early June, increased violence, further aggravated the situation resulting in more being displaced and hindering both the return of IDPs to areas of origin as well as the movement of humanitarian assistance operations. 
The IOM project will work in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) for all components (SMS, WASH and ES/NFI).The Shelter/NFI component will additionally provide assistance in other zones of Oromia Region as well as the Somali Region. 
The proposed intervention responds to three Cluster priorities as follows:
-	Protection Cluster / Site Management Support (SMS): Providing Site Management Support to local, and national authorities to ensure equitable access to assistance and protection for IDPs living in collective sites, carry out site improvement activities to increase safety and dignity, as well as develop capacity of key stake holders working in the collective sites response.  The intervention will prioritize critical 25 collective sites in Gedeo (SNNPR) and in West Guji (Oromia), in coordination with local authorities, clusters, and other stakeholders. 
-	Emergency Shelter/NFI: IOM will procure and transport 13,400 NFI kits for ES/NFI cluster agencies to distribute on site, at no additional cost to EHF.  These kits will reach approximately 73,700 individuals in 13,400 households. Particularly, a total of 7,000 households will receive in kind ES/NFI kits in Gedeo 3,200 households in additional zones of Oromia and 3,200 households in Somali Region. Kits will be be procured and transported by IOM while distribution will be carried out by cluster partner agencies. In addition to this, 615 shelter kits will be distributed through implementing partners to support shelter recovery processes , together with construction of 10 Communal shelters. 
-	WASH: IOM will provide life-saving WASH interventions to support 50,000 IDPs in Gedeo (Gedeb Woreda) and West Guji (Kerca Woreda ), with a focus on Gebeb Woreda (Gedeo) and Kerca Woreda (West Guji), as to minimize the likelihood of disease (AWD) outbreaks and other transmissible diseases due to poor sanitation and hygiene conditions. This intervention is in line with the WASH sectorial prioritization done in May 2018 (Annexed),and takes into consideration the major gaps highlighted in the Ethiopia - Immediate Humanitarian Funding Priorities - 24 May 2018 (Annexed) as well as considering the pressing humanitarian needs on ground.
