COVAX initiative roll-out support - Yemen The project will contribute to the roll-out of COVAX initiative in 5 districts (Al-Maqatira, Al-Milah, Al-Mudaraba wa Al-Ara, Radfan, Tuban) in Lahj governorate, South Yemen. In these areas, INTERSOS is currently supporting 10 HFs to provide Health Cluster-defined MSP package, with a network of 40 Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) ensuring outreach, referral, and community acceptance. The project will complement current activities with a specific focus on COVAX, concentrating on two pillars: 1. Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) and Information, Education and Communication (IEC) activities; 2. Direct administration of vaccines to priority target groups Main goal/purpose: To contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality due to COVID-19 infection in targeted locations
Objective: Increase COVID-19 immunization in in targeted locations
Strengthen protective environment and empower women and girls in Yemen The project aims to contribute to the development of an enabling environment for gender equality, where there is zero tolerance for all forms of violence against women and children in public and private life; where women’s voice, agency, leadership and decision-making is strengthened in public, private and civic sphere; and lastly where women’s economic rights, empowerment and female entrepreneurship is promoted. 

The project will strengthen the capacities of community-based organizations (CBOs) in 8 governorates in Yemen to enhance women’s rights, empowerment and gender equality. 18 CBOs will be supported to deliver prevention and support services for GBV survivors by running women community centers (WCC). In addition, INTERSOS will provide for trainings of local authorities and police. 

Protection services will include the provision of individual case management (ICM), including psycho-social first aid (PSFA) and psychosocial counselling (PSC), referrals for specialized services (internally and externally) and follow-up. Referrals include e.g. psychological counseling, legal support, cash for protection (PCA), cash for health (CHA) and livelihoods. For each CBO, INTERSOS will provide minimum incentives for 2 social workers volunteers. Besides, INTERSOS will provide for small lumpsum for running costs of the local associations. Besides ICM, CBOs will also run collective PSS sessions, complementing ICM. CBOs will run awareness raising sessions on protection related topics for men, women, boys and girls. Awareness raising and collective PSS activities will be conducted at the WCCs. 

Livelihood is one of the main components of the project, where CBOs will be supported to run livelihood courses, aimed at promoting women’s social-economic empowerment and female entrepreneurship
Emergency health and NFIs response for earthquake-affected populations in Hama and Idleb Governorates The proposed emergency intervention will be implemented in communities that have been heavily affected by the earthquake in Hama and Idleb Governorates, targeting vulnerable individuals through the provision of life-saving humanitarian assistance. Main goal: Contribute to save lives through the provision of timely, targeted, and appropriate health services and NFIs in Syria.

Outcome 1: Improved access to life-saving primary health care (PHC) services for vulnerable individuals affected by the earthquake in Hama and Idleb Governorates.

Outcome 2:  Vulnerable individuals have improved their living conditions during extremely harsh weather conditions in areas heavily affected by the earthquake in Hama and Idleb Governorates. The response will be implemented across the governorates of Hama and Idleb and will be focused on the locations most affected by the earthquake. Target sub-districts will be defined in coordination with SARC based on ongoing damage mapping and locations of the collective shelters that are set up to host individuals who lost their housing. At the time of writing, rescue teams are still on the ground and buildings and infrastructures’ assessments are ongoing. Reports of families and individuals on the move see displacement within the same governorates and across governorates seeking for relatives’ refuge or collective shelters.
Overall, 36,900 individuals (4,208 M, 14,102 W, 9,071 B, 9,521 G) are expected to benefit from this intervention.

No News is Bad News - Latin America Although the Latin American region as a whole is experiencing improved economic growth, access to wealth creation, education and information are unequally distributed and form a deepening rift in countries such as Bolivia, El Salvador and Guatemala. The situation is further hampered by an inadequate media landscape where corporate oligopolies dominate. In some countries (Ecuador, Venezuela, Argentina) authoritarian governments stifle freedom of expression and access to information. Mainstream media are either predominantly in private corporate hands or controlled by the state. In this climate, media struggle to hold powerful groups accountable and fulfil their watchdog role. Organised crime networks take advantage of a burgeoning disaffected youth population, narco- and human trafficking, human trafficking and environmental degradation have laid siege on civil society and democratic processes. Targeted attacks on journalists often go unpunished have led to a media landscape prone to self-censorship and sensationalism with many journalists leaving the profession resulting in a lack of accountability mechanisms in society. EJC will increase work with media in its target country of Bolivia in order to increase capacity in investigative journalism. Media partners will be provided with technological tools and data journalism skills. Lobby and advocacy activities will focus on improving the legal framework for media and safety of journalists, strengthening the networks between civil society and media to increase government accountability with a focus on access to information. The media literacy component increases the capacity of youth to understand the important role of the media in democratic societies and their ability to become critical-thinkers and engaged citizens. Programme for Dialogue and Dissent In Bolivia EJC will focus on developing evidence-based reporting and increasing the capacity of media actors to press for increased accountability. Special attention will be focused on developing media formats and literacy programmes to engage with the population in order to empower them. Lobby and advocacy actions need to be increased related to journalist self-censorship and media literacy in order to increase the ability of targeted audiences to engage and participate in media and society as an effective citizenry. Interventions and specific objectives per country are specified in the country profiles. Our current expectation is that Paraguay and Ecuador are countries with similar problems and topics of concern.
No News is Bad News - Develop Africa Africa is the only region in the world where countries are still producing enormous economic growth figures. In some cases this is balanced with some progress in the legal environment for Freedom of the Press and Freedom of Expression. In view of the economic growth in countries like Kenya, Nigeria, Tanzania and even Zimbabwe, one might expect a flourishing media landscape and an improved context for media and journalists to operate. This is unfortunately not the case. In recent years, the developing countries of Africa are beginning to note a backlash in this field with new laws stifling the development of a free secure and open Internet as well as repressive control and political manipulation of the media becoming more dominant factors in the decreasing trust of populations in the media. The media landscape is struggling to survive economically. Politically skewed media houses and lack of capacity results in lack of audience trust and coverage of the population. Media are not used to have vibrant connections with the public and civil society organisations advocating with, for and in the media are absent or weak. Governments cannot resist meddling in the media sector and regulatory frameworks are weak or abused for political gains. FPU/EJC will increase the capacity of legacy media, media watchdogs and civil society focusing on accountability journalism. The programme will increase media’s understanding and implications of data journalism, investigative skills and research capacity in order to improve its ability to serve as a platform for public advocacy participation and its ability to engage and challenge power brokers. Improving the legal and political environment for independent journalism is also an integral part of the programme. Programme for Dialogue and Dissent In Kenya, Tanzania and Zimbabwe, FPU and EJC will focus on the sustainable development of evidence-based journalism which will include providing tool kits, format and editorial skills training to its partners, and assistance in developing secure and anonymous whistle blower platforms. Lobby and advocacy will be supported by developing and strengthening media and civil society networks in order to better engage with media players and increase the leverage of citizens efficacy. In the technology field, access to data, secure digital distribution of information and platforms are key. Interventions and specific objectives per country are specified in the country profiles. Our current expectation is that Senegal is a country with similar problems and topics of concern.
No News is Bad News FPU/EJC, together with the Ministry, support media in functioning as change catalysts in their societies. This partnership will increase and leverage the impact of the common objective. Multiple impediments exist in the countries where we work. Worldwide press freedom has declined for the past seven years. Government and non-state actors hostile to press freedom do not allow an effective civil society to flourish. In many countries, regulatory frameworks are absent and impunity for violence against journalists is rampant. Lobbying and advocacy for social change depend in large part on the ability of CSOs to communicate openly and securely. Media pluralism is important for civil society development and democracy. Public service media inform all citizens. Private media strengthen the sector economically and community media offer a platform for participatory citizen engagement. Also ownership of media institutions has become a major challenge. In many countries, governments exercise control over content through direct media ownership or through business conglomerates that do not serve the public interest. The common objective of the five-year programme for the coming years is: Media and journalists, as independent players in civil society, constitute a diverse and professional information landscape and function as catalysts for change This common objective can be achieved by: An enabling environment for the media is established, conducive to freedom of expression Media serve the interests of the public and act as a watchdog on their behalf Journalists and media actors work professionally and are effective and sustainable Key actors across civil society, government and the public sector stakeholders will have to engage strategically to realise these outcomes. Media play a crucial role in inclusive and sustainable growth and development, linking grass-roots civil society concerns to national and global policy levels. FPU/ EJC have done three baseline workshops, in Indonesia, Tanzania, and Bangladesh, to test and refine our baseline instruments. The information gathered during these workshops has been processed and the baseline instruments have been finalised. Now they are being used to organise baseline workshops in all the countries of the No News is Bad News programme. EJC has done their baselines in Kenya, Zimbabwe and Bolivia. FPU and EJC have established nine indicators, three for each intermediary outcome of our Theory of Change. These are monitored in each of the countries we are working in. We have defined on which indicators we will be working in each of these countries and included them in the results sections. As of now, they contain mostly qualitative information: a description of the change that we would like to achieve on each indicator relative to the current situation. We will operationalise this quantitatively using a progress scale, which will be included in the next publication. Target values are set at 1-3.
