Strengthening comprehensive multi-sectoral responses for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV) and mainstreaming GBV in humanitarian action in Dayniile and Kaxda in Mogadishu The aim of this project is to enhance timely, effective, quality and comprehensive lifesaving Gender based Violence (GBV) services, targeting 1,500 GBV survivors from the displaced communities in Dayniile and Kaxda in Mogadishu, Banadir region. This target is projected from the current trends reported by the implementing partners proposed from the 3 family centers and the 2 safe homes in the target locations. The proposed activities include support to implementation/roll out of the Clinical Management of Rape (CMR) Protocol which covers medical assistance, legal and psychosocial support and provision of dignity kits to 1,500 GBV survivors. This activities would be done in collaboration with Save Somalia Women and Children (SSWC) and Women Pioneers for Peace and Life (HINNA) in order to strengthen their timely response/service provision to GBV survivors.

This project seeks to roll out the Gender-based Violence Information Management System (GBVIMS) and case management in order to enhance GBV data collection and analysis and inform evidence-based programming by training 15 men and 25 women GBV service providers and support them in the provision of quality and effective services to the GBV survivors. It seeks to mainstream GBV in humanitarian action based on the updated GBV guidelines and enhance linkages between the clusters and GBV mitigation and response by strengthening the capacities of 10 men and 10 women focal points of the clusters in the field. It also seeks to enhance the capacities of 10 men and 20 women case management workers on case management steps, tools and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and 10 men and 20 women on clinical management of rape (CMR) Protocol and survivor centred responses. It targets the GBV survivors from the displaced communities in Dayniile and Kaxda and more specifically along the K7-K14 road to Afgoye, and in-line with the ‘do no harm’ principle, the GBV survivors from the host community where appropriate. It also seeks to strengthen GBV service delivery and promote the effective implementation of referral pathways. This project also seeks to enter a long term social/behavioral change process that engages all actors in society, which is critical both for prevention. Men will particularly be engaged as champions against any type of GBV in their respective localities. SSWC and HINNA will also implement community engagement and mobilization activities for 100 women, 100 girls, 200 boys and 480 men.

UNFPA has the comparative advantage of procuring quality dignity kits in a short time frame based on the standards, technical expertise in rolling out the GBVIMS and the GBV guidelines and as the lead agency of the GBV Sub Cluster and the national consolidating agency of the GBVIMS in Somalia is considered. UNFPA ensures due coordination service delivery with other humanitarian actors to avoid duplication of interventions that are aligned with the GBV working group strategy.
Support to the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) for Somalia Support to the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) for Somalia is intended to complement resources provided by other donors in undertaking regular (food security, livelihoods and market) monitoring activities and conduct the 2016/17 Post Deyr seasonal food security assessment that will be conducted by FSNAU, in collaboration with Government, UN agencies, local and international NGOS and other technical partners.
Education in emergency for IDPs in  Kahda and Daynile districts of Banadir region The largest proportion of Internally Displaced Persons in Mogadishu reside in the two newly established districts of Deynille (33%) and Kahda (19%), which hosts both newly arrived Internally Displaced Persons, returnees, economic migrants as well as longer term Internally Displaced Persons forcefully evicted from other parts of the city. Daynille and Kaxda districts have the highest number of settlements – 142 and 120 settlements respectively, and Internally Displaced Persons are consistently more vulnerable, experiencing a lower standard of living, and basic services are extremely limited. In particular, access to education is poor. Only 35% and 39% of children are able to attend school in Daynille and Kaxda compared to 45% for other districts. Inability to afford private school fees ($20/month) and  lack of education facilities nearby are the most frequently given reasons The number of school facilities available are minimal, and those that are availalble have insufficient infrastructure to absorb the number of children, there are limited teaching and learning materials available, and the quality of teaching is poor, resulting in poor retention and poor performance. To address these,  the project will construct and furnish18 additional temporary learning spaces in 6 existing schools (3 classrooms per school) to accommodate new influx of Internally Displaced Persons and returnees (note: these schools already have 18 classrooms, so this will ring the total number of classrooms to 36), as well as provide the 6 targeted schools with teacher and learning materials, and provide 600 girls with sanitary materials recognizing that tis is one of the many barriers facing girls' access to education. This will be complemented by community mobilisation campaigns to highlight the importance of education for Internally Displaced Persons children, with a special focus on girls and children with disabilities/special needs, who are typically excluded from education due to socio-cultural barriers. It will also provide in-service teacher training to 24 teachers (4 per school) to improve the teacher’s skills in basic child centered teaching and learning approaches including multi grade and multi age teaching system and cross cutting issues on child rights, child protection and teacher code of conduct to enhance high quality education delivery, as well as provision of incentives to support their continued motivation and committment and specific training and mentoring activities for headteachers (1 per school) and the Community Education Committees (42 members in total (7 per school)) in managing and maintaining the school, including engagement of the local community and local resource mobilisation. The project will also support the establishment of school clubs, enabling students (boys and girls) to come together and work on different initiatives (for example school hygiene, girls forums, sports amp recreation, debating etc).
Capacity assessments of 35 NGOs for Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) Capacity Assessment is one of the four major components of the Accountability Framework, next to reporting, audit and monitoring, which jointly assure that the prioritisation for oversight and verification of the activities and outputs is based on a systematised risk analysis of partners, locations and activities. Within the SHF context, capacity assessment is understood as assessments carried out through desk-based reviews of documents provided by the organisation interviews with the organisation’s staff members visits to the organisation’s country office(s) and to one or more field offices and interviews with key informants such as previous/existing donors and partners, cluster leads and members, and beneficiaries of the NGO. 

As part of the Accountability Framework the SHF will carry out thorough assessments of the capacity of selected current or potential new implementing partners in order to determine the level of risk presented by the partner. Implementing partners that are eligible will be assigned a level of risk (low, medium or high) which will determine the minimum control mechanisms applied by OCHA throughout the grant management cycle. The risk level of each implementing partner is a dynamic rating that will be updated through the monitoring of the partner’s performance in the implementation of the projects.
Education Response to emergency affected School Age children (Boys and Girls) in Somalia Education Response to emergency affected School Age children (Boys and Girls) in Somalia program is designed to ensure emergencies and crises affected children and youth have access to safe and protective learning environments and Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) Priorities–2016 for addressing humanitarian needs. This project contributes to Education Cluster Objectives 1amp3 for 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) through construction and rehabilitation of 12 adequate temporary primary schools each with 6 classrooms and 48 appropriate and gender responsive latrines and hygiene and sanitation promotion facilities for 3,500 vulnerable school children (1,700 girls and 1,800 boys) providing education supplies, hygiene and sanitation supplies and safe drinking water taps to improve increased enrollment and retention of learners training 80 teachers (30 female and 50 male) and 12 head teachers (4 female and 8 male) on basic teaching skills through providing 3 days refreshment course to enhance teaching and learning activities at IDP settlements in KM7-KM15 in Mogadishu.  Furthermore, management skills for community schools and creation of exit-strategy for sustainable education will be improved through resource mobilization and strengthening/supporting the technical skills and organizational capacity of 104 persons (52 male 52 female) such as parents and community education committees at 12 temporary primary schools in Daynile and Kaxda Districts (KM7-KM15 IDP settlements) in Mogadishu Somalia.
Emergency Drought Response in Maaxas and Mataban Districts of Hiraan Region This program aims to improve, access to quality maternal, neonatal, reproductive and child health for children lt5 years and women of child bearing age in Mataban and Maaxas districts by expanding on improved access to essential lifesaving health services (quality primary health care) for crisis-affected populations aimed at reducing avoidable morbidity and mortality and to contribute to the reduction of maternal and child morbidity and mortality. Another aim is to strengthen and expand on early warning disease detection to mitigate, detect and respond to disease outbreaks in a timely manner so as to increase access to health services for internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have settled in Mataban and Maaxas Districts as a result of drought and conflict.
Emergency Nutrition Response for Internally displaced people In Baidoa district, Bay region. As it is described in detail in the context analysis, the prospect and prediction for food security and nutrition in Baidao remain critical, including Biadoa IDP remain critical. The major causes of this food and nutrition situation are continuing conflict, displacement and worsening drought in the area, limited purchasing capacity of the communities of IDPs,  prevalence of diseases and inadequate nutrition services, poor infant and young child feeding practice. Because of these, vulnerable groups of the community: children, pregnant and lactating women, at increased risk of morbidity and mortality unless lifesaving intervention is put forward immediately. The nutrition status of the Biadoa IDP community in considered serious. The estimated MAM is 14.5% and SAM is 4.4%. (FSNAU 2015/2016 report).Due to the magnitude of the problem and presence of aggravating and contributing factors(see below), coupled with low or no coverage TSFP in Biado IDP, Save the Children considers the nutrition needs as priority number one as a lifesaving intervention

School Nutrition 

The School children have high level of illness and malnutrition as they go through these crucial growing years. There is high prevalence of Iron deficiency anaemia (IDA) among school age children that major health consequence of impaired physical and cognitive development, as well as increase morbidity from infectious disease. This project proposed activities like Micro nutrient supplementation, provide nutrition screen and counselling for school children, develop behavioural communication messages on nutrition needs of student specially adolescence girls and also will conducted assessment to monitor the impact of the project both on nutritional and behavioural aspect. SCI will closely work and coordinate school nutrition intervention with the key education partners in Baidoa IDPs.
Emergency food security Assistance to Drought Affected Population in  Sanaag-Somaliland Through this project, NRC aims to improve household immediate access to food through provision of unconditional cash transfer. NRC will  target 934 Households: 5604 (2914 female) individuals mainly pastoralists who are nomadic and have been displaced because of the El nino induced drought in Sanaag region, Somaliland.
Addressing immediate food security needs among the most vulnerable IDPs in Baidoa. The proposed project seeks to restore immediate food access among crisis and emergency affected IDPs in Baidoa. The project seeks to improve food access by enabling households to access a monthly food basket through e-vouchers facilitated by WFP SCOPE  system for 3 months during the months of September to November. The food distribution will be accompanied by nutrition sensitization around household dietary diversity and infant and young child feeding practices. Improving household food access is expected to improve food consumption and reduce the use of negative coping mechanisms that exposes children and other vulnerable groups to the risk of starvation and malnutrition. The project will also reduce debt accumulation associated with accessing food on credit as shown by recent assessments. The food response will have two components: unconditional food transfers and nutrition sensitization.

Unconditional food assistance: This activity will target 750 households with food assistance for 3 months during the months of September to November. The transfers will be done during the minor pastoral and agricultural lean season.  The food assistance will be in the form of unconditional food voucher e-transfers equivalent to meet about 1,700 Kcal per day per person against a survival threshold of 2,100 Kcal. This constitutes 80% of the minimum energy requirement per person per day. The transfer deficit will be met by beneficiaries from other sources alongside other food preparation needs/costs. The transfer will be in the form of an e-voucher transfer managed through WFP SCOPE system. The project will target poor and very poor IDP households as defined by wealth ranking and further narrowed down to child-headed households without other forms of support households headed by disabled persons or elderly persons without support poor female-headed households poor households with children admitted in nutrition programs, destitute IDPs and poor pregnant and lactating women who are at increased risk of malnutrition. Each transfer will be accompanied by post distribution monitoring surveys alongside implementation of beneficiary accountability initiatives. The e-transfer will also allow for real-time tracking of food access by individual beneficiaries thus improving the audit trail.

Nutrition sensitization: All beneficiaries of unconditional food voucher transfers will undergo sensitization on household dietary diversity and infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices in order to improve the nutritional outcomes of this food assistance.
Emergency life-saving WASH intervention to vulnerable IDPs in Kaxda district of Banadir Region Under this project, WARDI proposes to improve access to safe water, and sanitation facilities and promote good hygiene practices in an effort to improve the health status of 11,450 internally displaced, forced evicted men, women, boys and girls in Kaxda district of Banadir region. Limited access to safe and adequate water and sanitation facilities coupled with poor hygiene knowledge and practices puts these communities at risk for waterborne diseases. Key activities includes upgrading one public diesel-powered borehole drilled by WARDI/IOM in Kaxda district through hybrid solar powered water pump system, which will reduce at least 60% the running cost of the borehole. The solar power operates effectively for six hours, from 10 am to 4 PM, saving the community 30 liters of fuel every day ($45 per day and $1350 per month). The reduced maintenance cost requirements also guarantees an additional $85 in savings every month (in total it saves $1435/month), it was established that the solar system’s pumping performance is equivalent to that of the generator driven system and is more environmental friendly. The borehole is currently manage WASH committees to guarantee to serve freely the IDPs and charge agreed fees to the host community for maintaining and sustainability of the water system purpose. Through this hybrid system it will ensure cheaper and reliable access to safe water to host communities as indirect beneficiaries and free of service to 11,450 IDPs in Kaxda district. In this project the plan is to extend another 4 IDP settlements (Hiran, Galayr, Jubbo and Rijaal) with a population of 6,450 men, women, boys and girls to access freely safe water. Therefore the borehole will serve a total population of 11,450 (5000 IDPs serving currently and additional 6,450 IDPs) in Kaxda district by constructing 4 water kiosks through piping system, construction of 160 latrines, construction of institutional latrines, hygiene and sanitation promotion and distribution of basic hygiene kits to peoples in need. The proposed response took into consideration the impact of the conflict on women, and children in terms of access to WASH services it proposed specific actions to prevent risk of gender based violence and hence will contribute to greater gender equality.
UNDSS Somalia Plane Support for provision of Accommodation to four Crews in Mogadishu International Airport UNDSS Somalia is the UN Office mandated to ensure safety and safe delivery of Humanitarian Work in Somalia. For many years UNDSS has delivered on this noble mandate together with many other actors delivering Humanitarian Services. UNDSS operates a Security Aircraft  funded by Donor contributions. This UNDSS Somalia plane  is used to conduct Security assessments and is also on standby for Medical Emergency Evacuation should a situation arise.  This is a crucial and  life-saving. Currently the security aircraft has been based in Mogadishu since 2015 as opposed to the previous years’ arrangement of basing it out of Nairobi. This has prompted an additional expense for the crew accommodations in expensive commercial accommodations in MIA. Although we have barely secured the funding for the aircraft alone, we have so far not been able to succeed in securing the fund for the aforesaid crew accommodation. In 2015, we had the similar situation but have managed it from other contingencies but in 2016 it is difficult for us to cater for the additional requirement which is posing as a serious difficulty in managing the security aircraft in Mogadishu, which is critical to the security management and emergency response to all locations in South Central Somalia.

With the above in the background, this project seeks  an urgent support of a CHF allocation of US$250,000 to DSS to cover the expenses related accommodations of 4 x crews of the security flight  in Mogadishu for 2016.
Provision of lifesaving and life-sustaining integrated response to IDPs and host communities in Baidoa, Bay region, Central South Somalia The project aims to establish primary health facilities and mobile clinics in Baidoa IDP sites and scale up the health care through skilled health professionals. HIDIG through this project will provide regular medical supplies and life-saving drugs to established health facilities, establish referral mechanisms between HIDIDG facilities and secondary healthcare providers in Baidoa, improve the coverage of measles vaccinations and Vitamin A and support safe motherhood and reproductive health while also ensuring readiness to prevent and respond to outbreaks such as malaria, measles or AWD/Cholera and promote health update through health education and beneficiary sensitization.
Reduce morbidity and mortality related to malnutrition rate among children under five and Pregnant and Lactating Women  IDPs in Kaxda district of Banadir region. The proposed project will be implemented in Kaxda district of Banadir region to cover nutrition needs of internally displaced women, men, boys and girls. The project is in response to Somalia Humanitarian Fund 2016 allocation for IDPs along Afgoye corridor in Banadir region.

An estimated beneficiaries of 3,700 persons including 100 men, 100 women, 800 pregnant and Lactating women, 1350 boys and 1350 girls will be targeted for a period of 12 months and provided with Basic Nutrition services with emphasis on identification and treatment of acute malnutrition, identification and referral of complicated cases and increased prevention activities (mass screening, deworming, micro nutrient supplementation, Infant Young Child Feeding and counseling, community education and sensitization). Samafale, Ali Jannaale and Liiqliiqato IDP settlements in Kaxda district with an estimated population of 20,646 will be targeted through up scaling of the current EPHS program implemented by WARDI in the district. This will be achieved through scaling up two mobile teams. This project will be complementary to ongoing health project as synergy and maximize our interventions.
Provision of Non Food Items to drought affected IDPs and host communities in Puntland and Somaliland Severe drought exacerbated by El Niño conditions has hit parts of Puntland and Somaliland, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. The drought compounds an already challenging humanitarian situation in the area and has brought the estimated number of people who face acute food security Crisis, water scarcity, lack of shelter. The drought will lead new displacement in the affected areas. Pastoralists who lost their animal herds will be forced to move to towns and villages and will be in urgent need for NFIs. In response to this, UNHCR in collaboration with other shelter cluster members will plan to distribute NFIs kits to effected IDPs, host community and pastarolists in Bari, Nugal, Sanaag and Awdal. UNHCR has stock of NFI in Bossaso and will be able to response the situation immediately . The project will target 5,000 HH with 30,000 individuals. This proposal is in line SHF strategic reserve allocation and NFI is one of the needs despite the urgent needs of this emergency is water and food. The planned project duration is 6 months. UNHCR will engage with its partners for the implementation of the project. UNHCR will closely monitor during the NFIs distribution. As per NFI distribution SOPs, PDM (post distribution monitoring) will follow after six weeks of distribution
