Provision of critical water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance for crisis affected populations (internally displaced persons and host communities) in Kayin State UNICEF will provide essential Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) services to the newly displaced population and host communities in Kayin. The project will also address the additional risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. UNICEF will target people displaced recently due to insecurity and ongoing clashes between the Karen National Liberation Army and the Myanmar Armed Forces (MAF). Interventions will include distribution of life saving WASH supplies [e. g. water purification tablets/ sachets, buckets for water storage, menstrual hygiene management (MHM) kits and soap], which will be supplemented with the delivery of messages on hygiene and sanitation and construction of emergency latrines. UNICEF will reach at least 5,000 IDPs and 15,000 host community members (around 47% women). While some beneficiaries will receive support through one-off interventions, others will receive repeated support based on vulnerability. UNICEF will continue to coordinate closely with all partners  and shall adapt interventions to maximize coverage and address any existing gaps.
Multi-Sectoral Humanitarian Assistance for Crisis-Affected People and the Host Communities in Southern Shan and Kayah States The project will provide multi-sectoral response to the needs of people displaced   by crisis in Southern Shan and Kayah states This multi-sectoral project will be implemented by Consortium   approach led by KMSS through its sub-partners, Shwe Kanbawza, LDN (Local Development Network), LUA (Level Up Academy). The project participants are displaced to 64 IDP camps/ host communities   in Pinlaung and Pekhon townships in Southern Shan   and the local people are displaced to 25 IDP camps in Loikaw, Demoso and Pruso townships in Kayah State where multi-sectoral approaches will be implemented. 

- KMSS  -Pekhon will implement EiE, WASH, Nutrition, Shelter/NFI activities in Pekhon Township in Sothern Shan State
- Shwe Kanbawza will implement EIE, WASH, Nutrition, Health and Shelter/NFI activities in Pinlanung Townshp in Southern Shan
- KMSS-Loikaw will implement EiE, Nutrition, Health and WAS sectors in Loikaw, Demoso and Pruso township in Kayah state
- LDN will implement EiE, Health, WASH, Health activities in Pruso township in Kayah state
- LUA will implement EiE, WASH, Shelter activities in Demoso township in Kayah state  


The proposed multi-sectoral response will take place in 64 IDP camps/ Host communities in Pinlaung and Pekhon townships of Southern Shan and will target to reach a total of 57,308 ( 18,317men, 19,686 women, 9,263boys and 10,042 girls) including 7,,335 people with disabilities.
 
 15 IDP camps with total IDP population of 17,826 (3461 male, 4007 female, 6965 boys, 3393 girls and 2282 persons with disabilities)  in Loikaw, Domoso and Pruso Townships in Kayah State with targeting the areas of the most humanitarian needs.   This multi-sectoral response project is designed in line with the sectoral objectives of HRP as well as with the priority locations outlines in the SA2 call. This response target to reach 75,134 (21,778 male, 23,693female, 16,228 boys and 13,436 girls) including 9,617 people with disabilities. 


KMSS and its sub-partners have pre-existing programs and local presence in these areas. These pre-positioned capacities and resources will enable us to manage and implement the proposed interventions. All    partners are aware of local context situation, the safety and security situation in the target areas, as well as possible impacts on the project due to COVID-19 and the evolving political situation, and have relevant safety and security protocols are in place to safely operate in this context.
Ensuring the accessibility and continuation of comprehensive health services for the communities of the Sittwe IDP camps. The project is designed to ensure that vulnerable communities in Sittwe, both within and outside the Sittwe IDP camps are able to access comprehensive health services. This will be done by (a) Providing primary health care, maternal and child health care, and reproductive health care, (including support for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension) operations in the Sittwe IDP camps, other vulnerable Rakhine and Muslim populations and other new displacement sites, as well as (b) In-camp 24/7 free referral services from any location in the Sittwe IDP camps to the Thet Kel Pyin Station Hospital via Tuk Tuk, (c) Night shift services and support for medical supplies for the Thet Kel Pyin Station Hospital and (d) Training on Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) amp Gender Based Violence (GBV) for all staff and Camp based workers. 

All activities and support will also ensure that COVID-19 preventative measures are being followed for the safety of the communities that we serve to avoid any disease outbreak from occurring among the communities.
Supporting communities in Northern Shan and Kachin to protect themselves from threats Shan State and Kachin State are regions that have been severely affected by armed conflict and clashes among Ethnic Armed Organizations (EAOs) and with the Tatmadaw, displacement and heavy levels of landmine and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) contamination for many years, all of which are now compounded by both the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the military coup. This will inevitably lead to more casualties, new displacements and preventing existing displaced populations from finding durable solutions to the causes of their vulnerabilities across the region. To directly address this ongoing and pervasive protection threat, DCA, HALO and local partners will carry out a project that delivers life-saving actions via a holistic approach to protection services to the most vulnerable in the communities including the following townships: Hsipaw, Kyaukme, Lashio, Nawnghkio, Namtu, Hseni, Kutkai, Muse, Namhkan, Kyethi, Bhamo, Mansi, Momauk, Shwegu. 
  
This will be achieved by strengthening their resilience against the threat of landmines and ERW and providing access to inclusive support services related to Gender Based Violence (GBV) and child protection that enhance mental wellbeing, physical and legal safety to the most vulnerable in Shan and, when possible, southern Kachin. Actions will include providing mobile child friendly spaces (CFS), mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS), awareness training on GBV and child protection, together with legal and other GBV survivor supportive services, in complementarity with conducting Explosive Ordinance Risk Education (EORE), emergency EORE, offering Victim Assistance (VA) and developing and sharing a database of contaminated sites. All activities will recognize the additional challenges presented by COVID-19, in terms of the threat to health, and will incorporate the well-established protocols developed by HALO and DCA over the past year, including delivering of trainings and awareness sessions at a household level and to smaller audiences, with the use of PPE when appropriate .

The project is fully aligned with the priorities and needs identified in the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan and MHF Allocation Strategy, and brings both strategic and programmatic relevance, based on DCA, HALO, and other partners extensive experience working in this context in Shan State and Kachin State. Activities will through assessment and consultations with communities be especially mindful of vulnerable groups within the affected populations, including consideration of women, girls, children and youth and people with disabilities and strengthen resilience at a community level, in addition to ensuring maximum accountability to the target populations, through a focus on PSEA training, sharing of complaints mechanism and effectively implementing and spreading awareness on relevant feedback mechanisms.
Reducing the vulnerability of targeted IDPs in the Kyaithto and Billin areas of Mon State. Myanmar is going through a double crisis: First, like many other countries – Myanmar was hit by COVID 19 pandemic. Second, on February 1st, 2021, the military seized power.
Subsequently, armed clashes between the Myanmar Army (Tatmadaw) and Ethnic Armed Organizations increased steadily, included fights with the Karen National Liberation Army (KNLA), the armed wing of the Karen National Union (KNU) in Bago Region, Mon and Kayin States. First air strikes since decades in KNU controlled areas happened, destroying public buildings and residential houses. Thousands of people were forced to flee, including people from rural villages in Billin and Kyaiktho townships of Mon State. Since April 2021, Helvetas is providing immediate food support to 1,8000 internally displaced people (IDP) in Billin. Through this project “Reducing the vulnerability of targeted IDPs in the Kyaithto and Billin areas of Mon State“, Helvetas aims at a continuation to address the immediate needs of the IDPs in this area over the coming months.
Applying a multi-sector approach, it addresses the key priorities of targeted IDPs covering the three sectors/clusters 1) Food Security, 2) Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) and 3) WASH. This is done through the support of a local actor – the Karen Youth Network. This allows for local ownership, alignment with local needs, safe distribution process and conflict prevention. Gender and social equity are considered in all aspects of the project to promote inclusiveness and to enable space for women and disabled. Cash-based assistance is not possible due to the shortage of cash caused by the ongoing banking crisis.
Education and WASH response for hard to reach IDP and host communities in Rakhine State CSI proposes a multisectoral project targeting education and WASH in conflict-affected communities, with a particular focus on communities of internally displaced and stateless people, in the Central Rakhine State Townships of Kyauktaw, Minbya and Mrauk-U. This project directly responds to urgent humanitarian needs of hard-to-reach and underserved communities identified in a consultative needs assessment in November 2021. It incorporates learnings from previous projects implemented in humanitarian contexts in Central and Northern Rakhine State.

Following extended nation-wide school closures, CSI will offer remedial education during the summer holidays in all targeted communities to reduce learning gaps and improve learning outcomes of primary students ahead of the upcoming school year. A dedicated non-formal education program for girls and young women will address gender inequalities in educational achievement and support women empowerment more generally. Teachers providing instructions for both of these activities will receive adequate training based on established curricula. This will be complemented by support to schools – CSI will provide furniture to and install latrines and necessary water access in schools in five locations home to 2,725 Rohingya households.

In some of the project locations, CSI identified need for improvements to water access. Based on this assessment, CSI will implement basic interventions to improve water access infrastructure, such as pond construction and repairs, installation of wells and pumps, and other small scale activities. These will be made more sustainable by linking them with community committees charged with and equipped for maintaining this infrastructure. This will reduce the vulnerability of targeted communities to prolonged droughts in the future, increasing their resilience to the impacts of climate change. CSI will also provide hygiene kits to households in communities where access to basic hygiene and dignity items is particularly limited. All these activities will be coordinated with the WASH cluster, where CSI is member and participant to regular Rakhine State WASH Cluster Coordination meetings.

Protection is mainstreamed throughout the project, with teacher trainings incorporating safeguarding and child protection training. Non-formal education for girls and women will include contents on gender-based violence. WASH interventions will be designed and implemented explicitly recognizing the needs of women obtained through localized assessments as well as inputs from female members of the local management committees. 

This is in line with ongoing and previous projects implemented by CSI in Central Rakhine State, where we equipped schools and installed latrines in target communities. In this project, we address the need of hard-to-reach communities which to date have not been benefitted from the same level of support other communities have, while being characterized by similar needs. Throughout the project, CSI will mainstream COVID-19 prevention as well as overall protection.
Provision of protection services and emergency shelter to vulnerable displaced people in Loikaw, Demoso and Hpruso townships (Kayah State) The proposed intervention aims to address the immediate humanitarian needs of conflict-affected IDP households in Loikaw, Demoso and Hpruso townships in Kayah State, by increasing their access to emergency protection services, as well as improving shelter conditions within displacement sites. To achieve this objective, ACTED will implement a comprehensive multi-sector approach, by distributing in-kind emergency shelter kits (procurement of kit components representing a significant portion of the proposed budget) and improving access to protection services such as GBV case management, MHPSS, and dignity kits, for vulnerable individuals and GBV survivors in displacement sites.

In order to ensure access and acceptance, ACTED will partner with a local ethnic organization and long-standing partner, the Karreni national Women’s Organization (KNWO). KNWO will lead on protection activities to conduct GBV case management as well as MHPSS first aid and awareness-raising   within target locations. With support from ACTED, notably to design the tools and conduct procurement and monitoring and evaluation activities, KNWO will be in charge of beneficiary selection and input distribution (incl. kits) throughout the intervention. As such, ACTED and KNWO will strive to implement an integrated approach and ensure that beneficiaries identified under one component are referred and assisted through other activities of the proposed intervention whenever relevant.

Overall, ACTED will support 8,770 beneficiaries in Kayah (including 2,924 in Loikaw, 2,923 in Demoso and 2,923 individuals in Hpruso townships). Through this partnership approach, ACTED will also contribute to building capacity of local structures, providing trainings and ToTs to KNWO staff and local volunteers, who reside in the same displacement sites camps as the project’s target groups.
Locally-led Relief in South Eastern Myanmar "Locally-led Relief in South Eastern Myanmar" project builds on The Border Consortium’ (TBC's)s long-standing partnership with civil society organisations (CSOs) and ethnic service providers (ESPs). These networks of trust are fundamental to effectively engaging with displaced communities afflicted by protracted conflict and chronic vulnerability. Proposed implementing partners have demonstrated capacities for engaging with Karen National Union (KNU) and the Karenni National Progressive Party (KNPP) authorities through a conflict-sensitive and principled approach. The project targets KNU administered communities in Hpapun and Kyaukkyi Townships, KNPP administered communities in Hpruso as well as mixed administration areas in Loikaw and Demoso.  The project partners are well placed to reinforce resilience of vulnerable communities while also strengthening synergies with development and peacebuilding initiatives. 

As the prime grant holder, TBC will assume overall responsibility for project management and coordination. The Karen Teachers' Working Group (KTWG) will support the mother-tongue based, multi-lingual education system adapt to Covid-19 through home-based learning. The Backpack Health Worker Team (BPHWT) and Karenni Mobile Health Committee (KnMHC) will strengthen access to basic health care service improve access to safe water and environmental hygiene and mitigate malnutrition. The Karen Office for Relief and Development (KORD) and Karenni Social Welfare and Development Center (KSWDC) will reinforce food security. The Karen Womens Organisation (KWO) and Karenni Womens Organisation (KNWO) will reinforce shelter from the natural elements and human dignity of women, children and vulnerable groups.

It is anticipated that 40,000 displaced and/or conflict-affected people will directly benefit from this multi-sectoral response in the midst of ongoing threats to safety and security, Another 20,000 people are expected to indirectly benefit from the this social safety net, which will not only save lives but also promote community-driven responses to complex emergencies.
Child Labour Action Research Innovation in South & South Eastern Asia In CLARISSA, Terre des hommes Foundation is co-developing with stakeholders innovative and context-appropriate ways to increase options for children to avoid engagement in hazardous exploitative labour in Bangladesh and Nepal. The primary beneficiaries of the programme are children in modern slavery and the worst forms of child labour and those who are vulnerable to being drawn into it. The families of these children are likely to benefit from greater resilience to shocks, better options for their children’s safe and healthy future and less intra-family stress and conflict. Similarly, businesses will benefit from practical solutions to child-labour free supply chains and policy makers, NGOs, and researchers will benefit from a knowledge of what works.
Improving Prospects for Refugees and Host Communities in Iraq In the areas most affected by the conflict in Iraq, the humanitarian needs are dire as displaced populations return home. With major damage to basic infrastructure, scarce employment opportunities and limited public services, it is vital to create the conditions for a durable and dignified return. Recent returnee households experience a general impoverishment that conducts them to resort to negative and risky coping strategies and mechanisms. Children and adolescents are particularly vulnerable to protection risks, with assessments showing increasing rates of child labour, child marriage and violence directed at children amongst the returnee population. In light of these needs and risks, Tdh implements a programme to strengthen the protection, resilience and prospects of vulnerable children and adolescents among recently returned IDPs. Due to Covid-19, a large share of funds from this project were re-programmed to a Covid-19 follow-on project: Emergency Covid-19 Pandemic adapted Wash, Protection, and Basic Needs Assistance for vulnerable returnee and/or IDP communities in Iraq (20119723b). Vulnerable children and adolescents

communities in post-conflict Iraq Terre des hommes (Tdh) implements a 7-month long integrated child protection, WASH, and basic needs response to firstly reduce children’s vulnerability to increased protection risks; secondly to support the mitigation and control of the COVID-19 pandemic among already vulnerable returnee and IDP households; and thirdly to ensure life-sustaining assistance for households and children facing steep vulnerability due to the collateral impact of the health crisis in Iraq. A large share of the funds initially allocated to the 'Improving Prospects for Refugees and Host Communities in Iraq' project (20119723a) was reprogrammed to this Covid-19 response. Tdh targets communities in a location not specified here, in particular rural and remote areas that are most vulnerable and at risk of Covid-19.

A Fair Cup: Ensuring the rights of smallholder tea farmers in Kenya This project will reduce poverty and improve the rights and livelihoods of smallholder tea farmers across three districts in Kenya by enabling them to develop a collective voice, engage directly with local decision making processes, and ensure transparent and accountable representation amongst tea sector representatives. This includes: raising awareness of farmers’ rights under new government tea legislation; supporting farmers to form groups through which they can make their collective voices heard; and working with tea factories to make them more transparent and accountable. Expected outcomes include a 20% increase in farmers’ income; improved control over their livelihoods (improved production, input into where their tea is sold) and greater farmer representation at factory and KTDA level. This will benefit 30,000 farmers and their families (180,000 beneficiaries).;
