Emergency Nutrition Response in Oromiya Region This project responds to the nutritional needs of drought-affected and displaced communities in Borena, Guji, West Guji, and East Hararghe Zones of Oromiya Region who have been negatively affected by prolonged drought, food insecurity, and most recently conflict-induced displacement. Continued drought and food insecurity across all woredas, and the lack of clean water and food among IDP communities in East Hararghe Zone has led to the development of both severe and moderate acute malnutrition among children under five and pregnant and lactating women. In addition the influx of IDPs into the targeted Woreda in East Hararghe Zone has put a strain on existing host community resources and health worker and local health system capacity.

GOAL proposes a six-month CMAM intervention to respond to the needs in the following woredas: 
Gomole, Dubluk (Borena), Saba Boru, Aga Wayo (Guji), Gelana (West Guji) and Goro Muti (East Hararghe)

Activities will consist of: 
-	Support to government health workers in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition via out-patient therapeutic programme and stabilization centres
-	Establishment and implementation of a targeted supplementary feeding programme to treat moderate acute malnutrition
-	Support community mobilization and screening activities
-	Education on Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies
-	Capacity building, and on-the-job coaching of health workers and health extension workers on management of acute malnutrition and IYCF
-	Establishment of mobile health and nutrition team in Goro Muti woreda to reach the IDP communities with health consultations, maternal and reproductive healthcare, immunization, nutrition screening, OTP and referrals to SC where necessary, IYCF-E, and TSFP. 

GOAL has a development programme in Gomole Woreda and in line with the HDRP, intends to link the emergency and development activities in order to promote recovery and longer-term resilience.

76 OTPs will be strengthened / established
21 SCs will be strengthened / established

GOAL expects to directly reach the following beneficiaries:
1,516 children under 5 suffering from SAM (through OTP/SC) – this includes IDP and non-IDP communities.
17,051 children and PLW suffering from MAM - this includes IDP and non-IDP communities.
196 HWs, 158 HEWs, and 158 HDA with capacity building and training activities.
Caregivers of children on OTP/SC, PLW and caregivers of children on TSFP will receive IYCF messaging - this includes IDP and non-IDP communities.
Mobile health and nutrition team will target IDP camps/sites and their close host communities in Goro Muti, with approximately 1600 IDP households (8,800 individuals), expecting to reach 2773 IDP individuals with health and nutrition interventions and an additional 1200 host community individuals with mobile health interventions.
Emergency nutrition response for drought affected pastoralist Community and IDPs in Godgod and Kohle woredas in Afdhere Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia. Ethiopia is entering a  fourth year  exceptional drought emergency and expected to continue facing a major food security emergency in 2018, as the impacts of poor rainfall in 2016/17,  and also expected below-average rainfall in the first half of 2018, and large-scale conflict-related displacement drive continued humanitarian assistance needs. Sustained, large-scale emergency assistance – including food, nutrition, and WASH aid – is needed, particularly in Somali Region, to prevent extreme levels of food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and excess mortality (FEWS NET Alert March/2018). 

Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions in Ethiopia that is located in the north eastern and south eastern part of the country. The population of the region is estimated at 5,748,998 (CSA, 2014) out of which 46 percent are females and the remaining 54 percent are males. The Average household size in the region is 6.6. The rural population of the region is estimated to be 85%. The region is predominantly pastoralists and the livelihood activities are dependent on the livestock, natural resource and vulnerable to persistent drought and climate shock. 

The two target woredas (Godgod and Kohle) that are identified for emergency nutrition intervention are located in the remotest part of Afdhere administrative zone and they are the most affected woredas and they have been classified as priority one hot spot for emergency and humanitarian response. In most of the pastoral area and lowland, hundreds of thousands of people have been rendered destitute by two years of consecutive drought and continuing acute food insecurity, malnutrition and water shortages. As of the recent past, the situation has been exacerbated by the impact of La Nina on spring rains. In the absence of good rains and recovery opportunities, the multi-sector humanitarian response operation established over the course of 2017 will need to be sustained well into 2018 (HDRP, 2018).

IRE’s presence within the humanitarian support and emergency response operation in Godgod and Kohle woredas, in Afdhere zone,  through the implementation of mobile health and nutrition  response that were financed by WFP and now intended to strengthen the ongoing emergency nutrition response operation intervention.
Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion  (WASH) Response in Moyale and Hudet Woredas  of  Dawa  Zone in Somali Region The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia remains extreme where the country is entering a fourth year of consecutive exceptional drought emergency. In the year 2017, severe drought conditions continued in lowland, mostly pastoral areas, rendering thousands of individuals destitute and displaced. Additional humanitarian needs have also arisen due to conflict, with 857,000 Ethiopians displaced over the past year around the border areas of Oromia and Somali regions (HDRP, 2018). According to 2018 HDRP, around 6.86 million people need immediate WASH assistance in the year 2018, of which 1.81 million are in the Somali region. Hence, the proposed project aims to improve access to safe water and sanitation through emergency/ lifesaving WASH interventions, and enhance better hygiene keeping practices in Moyale and Hudet Woredas. Save the Children plans to reach 62,509 including internally displaced people with emergency water trucking service –a survival allocation of 5 liters/person/day for a total of 60 days. Although previous experience shows that the dry season could continue until the month of November/December where surface water will be scarce due to the limited budgeting, Save the Children will only be able to deliver water for two months. Hence, the start date for water distribution will be decided based on data provided by the affected communities, assessments by the WASH cluster partners and SC, and the local Water Bureau. The project will also increase access to communal latrines and encourage hand-washing with soap through the construction of 23 emergency temporary communal latrine blocks of 6 pits with hand washing facilities in priority locations. Finally, the beneficiaries of the water trucking services and nearby communities will be sensitized on hygiene promotion measures with a focus on proper hand washing with soap (HWWS), safe waste and excreta disposal and HH Water Treatment and safe Storage (HWTS) and a targeted 17.74% of them (1,578 families) will receive a hygiene kit.
Emergency Response and Preparedness for the WASH sector, with focus in AWD affected areas, and IDPs in the Oromia and Somali border Inter-community violence has resulted in around 1.1 million IDPs in the Somali and Oromia border since September 2017, in addition to the 0.7 million IDPs as a consequence of natural disasters (drought and floods). Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and little access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services.

This proposal has two components. First, to provide emergency water trucking support to Oromia region for the next six months. UNICEF is the lead water trucking agency for Oromia and expects the lifesaving need for water trucking to increase as the rainy season ends.

Secondly, to procure essential WASH NFIs (Non-Food Items) for displaced populations and host communities, as well as build preparedness for an AWD (acute watery diarrhea) outbreak response. Ethiopia is currently affected by several emergencies and having recently faced AWD outbreaks in Tigray, Afar, Oromia, Dire Dawa and Somali regions, AWD outbreak continues to be a critical risk. At present, evidence has found the practice of open defecation in 80 per cent of IDP sites and the majority of sites have no functioning toilets, increasing the heightened risks for the outbreak.
WASH emergency and recovery interventions for the conflict affected populations in West Guji Oxfam will respond to the WASH needs of the returnees and host communities in Bule Hora Woreda in West Guji Zone to reach a total of 45,561 people. These people were affected by the inter – communal conflict in Gedeo and West Guji Zones. They have been displaced, lost members of their families, have had their houses burned down, properties looted and crops destroyed. The host community resources/facilities were overstretched due to the drastic increase of population during the displacement and these resources/facilities have been also damaged or destroyed.  Oxfam, however, remains ready to respond to other Woredas depending on needs identified by the WASH Cluster as the situation unfolds given the dynamic nature of the situation.

Oxfam interventions will cover the full WASH package: (a) rehabilitation/maintenance of water schemes/systems ensuring access to safe and sufficient water supply (b) emergency latrine constructions in collective sites and rehabilitation/maintenance of institutional latrines (c) decommissioning of sanitation facilities, desludging of existing filled latrines, disinfection and cleaning of sites (d) capacity building of  WASH Committees and Community Health Volunteers (e) hygiene promotion and  (f) procurement and distribution of essential WASH NFIs, water treatment chemicals and dignity/menstrual hygiene kits. Gender and protection will be mainstreamed in the WASH interventions.  These interventions are among the identified priorities of the WASH Cluster and Allocation Strategy Paper. The total amount of the intervention is USD 380,000. Oxfam will coordinate with the EOC, WASH Cluster, Zonal and Woreda Water, Health and Education Offices, Kebele Administration Office and WASH partners/actors (UNICEF, WHO, NRC, WV, SC, Care, Dorcas, Plan) in planning and implementing the response interventions.
Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) assistance to vulnerable children and their families affected by the inter-communal conflict  in Bule and Gedeb Woredas of Gedio Zone in SNNP Region Renewed violence along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji zones since early June 2018 has led to the displacement of over 642,152 IDPs in Gedeo zone of SNNPR region and 176,098 IDPs in West Guji zone of Oromia region. According to the 2018 Gedeo and Guji IDP Response Plan document, an estimated 818,000 IDPs in Gedeo and Guji zone are in need of emergency WASH assistance for the next six months. To meet the urgent humanitarian needs and provide emergency WASH services to these IDPs, the WASH cluster requires $20.51m USD. 

Save the Children proposes to deliver WASH lifesaving support to IDP’s in Bule and Gedeb woredas of Gedeo zone in SNNPR Region. The interventions are based on the recent WASH cluster response plan documents, Government Response Plan and the proposed activities are part of the WASH cluster priority. The proposed activities are gender and age sensitive, to ensure the needs of different groups are met in way that respect the local culture and dignity of affected families and their children. Hence, the proposed project aims to improve access to safe water and sanitation through emergency/ lifesaving WASH interventions, and enhance better hygiene keeping practices in Gedeb and Bule Woredas. Save the Children plans to reach 112,295 including internally displaced people with emergency water trucking service –a survival allocation of 5 liters/person/day for a total of 50 days. The project will also increase access to communal latrines and encourage hand-washing with soap through the construction of 51 emergency trench latrine blocks of 7 pits with hand washing facilities in priority locations. Additionally, the beneficiaries of the water trucking services and nearby communities will be sensitized on hygiene promotion measures with a focus on proper hand washing with soap (HWWS), safe waste and excreta disposal and HH Water Treatment and safe Storage (HWTS). Of the total targeted beneficiaries 5,078 families will receive a hygiene and dignity kit.
Emergency Nutrition Response in Four Woredas of Korahe and Siti Zones, Somali Region Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services for 48,291 beneficiaries (including 169 IDPs) to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women in drought and conflict-affected communities Somali Region, Ethiopia. Target locations include the following priority 1 hotspot woredas: El-Ogaden (Korahe), Kudunbur (Korahe), Shekosh (Korahe), Hadigala (Siti). The proposed project will prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished children 6 to 59 months old and malnourished PLW. The project will support prevention of acute malnutrition through improvement of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency (IYCF-E) practices for infants and young children under 24 months and support the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Project targets are as follows: 1,438 cases of SAM and 7,286 cases of MAM. 80% of MAM cases and PLW will receive TSFP services. Save the Children will ensure continuum of care by linking OTP discharged children with TSFP in all areas.

In line with the 2018 Ethiopian Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), the proposed project will deliver a full-spectrum emergency nutrition intervention including prevention, treatment, management, community mobilization and case identification, and key capacity building for Regional Health Bureaus and health workers to achieve and sustain impact. Exceptionally vulnerable women and children in drought-affected and conflict induced communities will be prioritized for services.
Emergency Nutrition and IYCF Support to the IDP and Drought Affected Communities of Borena and West Wollega Zones in Oromia and Wag Himra Zone in Amhara Region This emergency life-saving interventions targets three zones, namely Borena (Oromia), Wollega (Oromia) and Wag Himra (Amhara), providing emergency nutritional and care practices services to the most vulnerable population. All the three targeted zones has high level of emergency needs, with vulnerable women, men, boys and girls affected by acute malnutrition and poor access and availability of services. In Borena, frequent violence and resurgent displacements of populations affecting the already fragile health system. In West Wollega, violence following the September 2018 incident displaced around 70,000 persons into West Wollega. The additional population is putting strain on the previously fully functioning health system. Wag Himra zone is not affected by violence or IDPs, however high rates of undernutrition affects the population with limited access and utilization of health services due to challenging terrain affects the population and health system. For each area of intervention, AAH adapts their approach to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with under nutrition among children U5 and PLW. The project will  strengthen and sustain the existing health system, provide support for IDPs and Host Communities
reaching 99,607 beneficiaries (114 Men, 26,484 women, 35,850 boys and 37,159 girls). Some of the services provided through this action includes: treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) treatment of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) and Community Mobilisation Support to GoE outreach clinics where needed Promotion of Care Practices among children and their care-givers and psychosocial support for IDPs and host communities.
Emergency  mobile Nutrition for IDPs and selected far to reach areas in Oromia Region, Guji Zone, Gumi Eldalo and Liben Woredas Mercy Corps (MC) proposes to continue the critical nutrition services provided for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host communities in Guji zone, Liben and Gumi Eldalo woredas to address the urgent needs of conflict induced displaced people and host communities who do not have access to primary health care services. The number of IDPs in Gumi Eldalo and Liben woredas of Guji Zone is growing day by day due to the ongoing conflict around the border of Oromia and Somali Region. 

The overall objective of this project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality linked to malnutrition, and increase access to primary health care services for the IDPs and host communities in the proposed target woredas. Diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria, upper respiratory tract infection and malnutrition are the main morbidities mostly affecting children within these communities and leads to morbidity if not treated in timely manner.

The proposed six month project will address acute malnutrition in children under 5 years of age (CU5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) using the Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) and Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) approaches, as well as providing Mobile Health Service (MHS) to improve access to basic primary health care services. Using a comprehensive package approach, the proposed project will also promote hand washing at critical moments and environmental sanitation to mitigate potential outbreaks of water borne diseases, including Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD). 

MC aims to address both moderate and severe acute malnutrition and reach 13,673 beneficiaries (CU5 and PLW) by implementing the full CMAM continuum of care, which includes community mobilization Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) Stabilization Center (SC) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP). The TSFP program will rely on the TSFP commodity availability pipeline from WFP. Every admitted beneficiary will receive targeted counseling on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) emphasizing infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and personal and household level hygiene. Mobile Health Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) will be deployed to reach the IDP camps and other hard to reach areas in both woredas by providing primary health care services including vaccinations and antenatal care.

The intervention comprises three project outcomes: 

1. Nutrition – Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM)

Outcome 1: Improved nutrition capacity to manage Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), with and without complications, using Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM)
Outcome 2: Improved capacity to manage moderate malnutrition (MAM) among children 6 – 59 months, pregnant women and lactating mothers with children less than 6 months old
Outcome 3: Increased awareness of community members on the importance of optimal infant and young child feeding and caring practices and other nutrition related topics, as well as hygiene-related behaviors
Emergency Response and Preparedness for the WASH sector focused in Oromia and SNNP regions of Ethiopia Inter-community violence has displaced over 800,000 people in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) zones since June 2018, of which an estimated 55% are children under 18 years of age. Whilst some IDPs have returned to their areas of origin, according to DTM Round 12 (October 2018), there are still 603,703 IDPs in both zones. The emergency operation centres report significantly different figures of returnees. The threat of secondary displacement remains, barring peace and reconciliation efforts to lead to durable solutions. 

As there is currently no official consensus on the actual numbers of IDPs or returnees by either zone, UNICEF will consider the total population of the affected 13 woredas in both zones as the affected population.  From this population, UNICEF will target children most in need based on specific sector criteria and guided by the EHCT-endorsed Operational Guidelines.  

This proposal has four components. 
 First, to provide emergency water trucking support to West Guji zone, Oromia region for two months. UNICEF is the lead water trucking agency for Oromia, and other implementing partners are supporting water trucking in Gedeo.
 Secondly, to procure essential water treatment chemicals for displaced populations and host communities in both zones. 
 Thirdly, the rehabilitation of non-functioning and damaged water supply infrastructure and, where possible, the expansion of water supply infrastructure to cover collective centres – that where possible also serve the needs of host communities.
 Fourthly and finally, strengthening of the capacity of the WASH Cluster to provide support targeted to this crisis through the hiring of two cluster coordinators for Gedeo and West Guji zones.
Protection monitoring in areas of return - West Guji zone in Oromia region The Protection Cluster designed an inter-agency project for protection monitoring and capacity development for displacement affected communities in West Gujii. Through undertaking various monitoring missions, UN OHCHR along with other UN agencies will interact with IDPs, Returnees, government actors, humanitarian partners as well as Civil society organizations involved in any ways. Accordingly, the UN OHCHR will identify the protection gaps, document human rights violations and responses made by government and other actors. UNOHCHR will also draw relevant recommendations to be implemented by key actors in the area and will advocate for their implementation of the same. In the course of intervention by the UNOHCHR, due considerations will be paid on relevant international standards dealing with the special needs and rights of all vulnerable population.
