Strengthening prevention of and response to sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in three regions in Ethiopia, namely Oromia, SNNPR and Somali The project will establish and support inter-agency coordinated efforts to prevent and respond to SEA in three Ethiopian regions, namely Oromia, SNNPR and Somali. The aim of this project to is to create an accountability mechanism to improve the protection of vulnerable communities from SEA in humanitarian contexts in the three regions. 
Under the project community-based complaint mechanisms will be established or strengthened with inputs from selected community members affected population will be informed about their rights to humanitarian assistance and available channels for reporting abuses survivors of SEA will be supported to access basic services including health, psychosocial, safety and legal based on needs. 
Humanitarian services providers including staff, volunteers and contractors delivering humanitarian assistance, including national service providers of PSEA in the three regions will be capacitated to prevent and respond to SEA. 
Most of the work on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse is usually done on the ground and at the country level. Engaging local populations and having support locally is a crucial element in succeeding in this work. Therefore, community members including boys, girls, women, men and persons with disability in the three regions will be consulted and involved throughout this project. 
The project will also complement the ongoing procedures on protection from sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) of participating agencies. 
Finally, the project will give the three communities and people affected by crisis access to safe and responsive mechanisms to lodge SEA complaints and seek appropriate support.
Livelihood-Based drought response project in Aba’ala, Erebti, Ada’ar and Telalak woredas of Afar regional state In response to the second round Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) call to submit expression of interest (EOI)to target the 2 Million USD allocated for the Agriculture Sector and respond to major priorities, VSF Germany submitted its EOI which was was selected by the vetting team. Further, as per the request of the vetting team, VSF Germany submits this proposal to address the immediate livelihoods needs in four woredas of Afar regional state. The proposal is designed to respond to critical humanitarian response priorities and funding gaps that were agreed upon and presented in the Humanitarian Prioritization Document for 2018 published on 24 May 2018. The project targeted four drought affected woredas (Aba’ala and Erebti Zone 2, Ada’ar of Zone 1 and Telalak of zone 5) which are prioritized by agriculture cluster as well as the advice of the agricultural cluster coordination team. The priority woredas were also selected based on VSF Germany’s field staff communication with the respective zonal and woreda officials. The proposed interventions, livestock feeding and animal health activities, are linked with the first pillar of HDRP which is prevention and mitigation and more specifically address the strategic Objective 1: to save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity considered and (2) To protect and restore livelihoods. Further, as per the ATF's prioritization note for Afar region (Zone 1, 2, 3 and 5), provision of animal health services and provision of feed for core breeding animals are the prioritized interventions. Therefore, this project will provide livestock feed and animal health (treatment and vaccination) service for selected households in four woredas to protect livestock assets by reduction of mortality and improve their productivity.  

To achieve this, the project targeted 1,800 households for voucher based animal treatment and 1,900 HHs will also receive animal feed to feed a total of 9,500 sheep and goats.  It is assumed that each household will receive feed for 5 breeding goats which will allows them to feed for 66 days. Further to this, the project will provide support during vaccination campaign and a total of 180,000 animals owned by 7,200 HHs will be vaccinated.
Emergency Seed and Livestock response to save lives and livelihoods of drought affected pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in three zones and 5 woredas  (Assayita, Dalfagi, Dewe, Teru and Yalo,) of Afar region Ethiopia has not yet fully recovered from the consecutive drought that resulted in massive livestock loss in pastoral and crop failure in the agro-pastoral areas of the previous years. The Ethiopia Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) for 2018 seeks US$1.66 billion to reach 7.88 million people with emergency food/cash. In addition, 3.4 million households are in need of livestock support, 3.5 million moderately malnourished children and pregnant and breastfeeding women and 350,000 severely malnourished children are expected to require emergency nutrition support.

The 2018 Belg/ Sugum rain in Afar region is characterized by late onset averagely by a month over most parts of the region, erratic nature, very low coverage, small in amount and high variation in temporal and spatial distribution. As result, the livestock body condition in most of the woredas according to 2018 belg report was poor.  The assessment reports indicates that Gewane in Zone 3, Teru in zone 4 and Dalifage in zone 5 are the most highly affected woredas.  Likewise, crop production in Sugum season was highly constrained by the poor Belg/Sugum rain, reduced volume of rivers, absence of floodwater from Amhara and Tigray highlands and the invasion of FAW.

Protection of core-breeding and milking livestock through provision of supplementary animal feed, animal health services and provision crops seed to areas where crop production has reduced will ensure milk availability for children, protect key livelihood assets and ultimately improve food security and nutrition outcomes for the vulnerable households.

The planned interventions include:
 
(i) Provision of emergency seeds and capacity building on Integrated Pest management: this will enhance the agricultural production of the households that are affected by the poor production/failure from the previous harvest season, depleting seed reserves and have poor purchasing power.
(ii) Livestock feed supplementation: to guarantee access to appropriate livestock feed, commercialized livestock feed interventions will be implemented wherever markets are functioning within the affected zone. Targeting core-breeding animals with survival feed (Multi Nutrient block and Total Mixed Ration will be provided to key breeding herds to ensure their survival. 
(iii) Animal health provisions for affected/vulnerable livestock: mitigate likely outbreaks of diseases that will lead to even higher morbidity and mortality of livestock, animal treatments (curative and prophylactic treatments against internal and external parasites and other infectious diseases) in consultation and cooperation with local veterinarians and community-based animal health systems.
Riverine Fodder Production for pastoralists in three woredas (Cheretti, Hargelle and Dolo Bay) of Afder Zone, Somali Regional State 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 pastoral population of the region is estimated to be 85% and their livelihood activities are dependent on the livestock and natural resources.  
 
The three target woredas (Cheretti, Hargelle and Dolo Bay) identified for riverine fodder production are located in the Afdhere administrative zone and they are the most food insecure and poverty stricken woredas that have been classified as priority one hot spot for emergency and humanitarian response. In these pastoral areas, several people have been at the mercy consecutive drought and continuing acute food insecurity and malnutrition. To make their situation worse, the conflict that happened along the Somali-Oromia boundary exacerbated their livelihoods of the households by depleting their livelihood assets including their livestock.  
Through this project IR will respond to the urgent needs in agriculture/livestock by supporting the vulnerable pastoralist to involve in the Riverine Fodder Production and meet their food insecurity and household income. The project implementation will be facilitated through the emergency project team operating at Afdher coordination office.
Creating learning opportunities for IDP school age children who have no access to education in Guji and Borena Zones of Oromia Regional State. This project aims to provide education services to IDP school age girls and boys (5-14 age) who have no access to any form of education in Borena and Guji zones of Oromia region. Though the government has been making significant efforts to create access and the improve quality of education, this has been compromised by the recurrent drought and recent conflict. As a result, 31,185 school age children (56% females) are out of school in Oromia. In response, Plan International Ethiopia,  with EHF allocated funds of 504,685 USD, has prioritized and designed a project to address the education needs of 15,383 IDP school age children who have no access to any form of education in 5 Woredas (10 sites) of Guji and Borena zones. This will be done through the establishment of temporary learning spaces (TLS), provision of learning stationary, teacher and Woreda education capacity building, and provision of WASH support to schools.    

Girls education and participation will be prioritized throughout the project implementation. Community awareness and ‘back to school’ campaigns will be conducted with emphasis on the importance of girl’s education. Teachers and school management committees/PTSAs will be trained on gender and child friendly education approaches to promote active and positive learning environments. Training will also include key messages on child protection, prevention of SGBV, and wider protection concerns. This will support the identification and referral of child protection and GBV cases to the appropriate services. The TLS will also serve as a location for women and mothers to meet, report and discuss issues affecting them, receive information on protection services, and increase awareness on prevention of SGBV as well as identification, referral and response to child protection cases.
Emergency Nutrition Response in Fourteen Woredas of Oromia, SNNP and Somali Regions of Ethiopia Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services benefiting 193,158 beneficiaries (37,295 IDPs) to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women in drought-affected and conflict-induced communities of SNNP, Oromia, and Somali regions of Ethiopia. Target locations include the following priority 1 hotspot woredas by region: SNNP (Alle, Konso, Dasenech, Hamer and Gnangatom), Oromia (Lega Hida, Gura Damole, Dawe Kachen, Rayitu, Sawena), and Somali (Hudet, Higoley, Bodaley, Lasdankyre). The proposed project will prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) in all target regions and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished children 6 to 59 months old and malnourished PLW in Oromia and Somali regions. 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). 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.
Strengthening the response for inpatient management of severe acute malnutrition with medical complications in stabilization centers The Somali and Oromia regions have been greatly impacted by the prolonged drought with several woredas classified as priority 1. Severe food insecurity with general poor nutrition is resulting into increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements due to internal displacement. Furthermore, SNNPR recently affected by conflict and new displacement in Gedeo zone SNNPR and West Guji. 
To further complicate this situation the health system has been weakened due to many of the prolonged emergencies, overwhelming numbers of displaced persons making the delivery of quality static mobile emergency health and nutrition services critical to effective emergency response. The disruption in health and nutrition services continues to compromise the ability of the region to respond. Nutrition screening assessments have shown increasing rates of SAM.

The project will strengthen the 35 referral stabilization centers in Somali, Oromia and SNNP regions of Ethiopia and build capacity of health workers to effectively manage children hospitalized with severe acute malnutrition and medical complications hence improve quality of care and reduce mortality among the children with SAM.
Life Saving WaSH Response for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Hosting Communities at 4 Woredas in East and West Harerghe zones. According to the 11th round of the Displacement Tracking Matrix, a joint Government and IOM-led displacement data collection exercise, there are over 1.77 million persons displaced in the country, located in over 1,000 sites. About 1.07 million persons are displaced and located in 439 sites following conflict between Somali and Oromo communities along the border separating the two regions. The crisis has placed significant strain on existing WASH infrastructure and practices, particularly in remote areas where IDPs have integrated into communities with already limited access to basic services. The safety and well-being of IDPs and host communities depends on effective and timely humanitarian intervention to meet urgent needs, including access to adequate safe water and sanitation, as well as hygiene promotion.

In response to this high need of improved WASH services, World Vision has planned the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities for IDPs and hosting communities in 4 Woredas of East and West Hararge Zones, namely Jarso, Melka Belo, Habro and Tullo. World Vision selected this areas based on the WASH service need of the IDPs and hosting communities and due to its existence in all of the Woredas which will have impact on the cost effectiveness and timely response of the project.

The overall objective of these WASH interventions in this proposed areas is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to poor WASH service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to safe and adequate water supply to IDPs and hosting communities and improve knowledge of proper hygiene practice of the targeted communities. Improving the safe water access, sanitation and hygiene interventions will be implemented with the objective of delivering holistic WASH services to the community. The planned activities are Rehabilitation and repair of malfunction existing water supply system, construction of sanitation facilities and distribution of WASH NFI and water treatment chemicals along with hygiene and sanitation promotion activities.

Through this project World Vision has planned to address a total of 11,457 IDPs (3,551 Girls , 3,322 Boys , 2,405 Women and  2,179 Men) and 12,005 Hosting communities  (3,722 Girls, 3,481 Boys, Women 2,521 Men 2,281) which makes the total beneficiaries of the project to be 23,462.
Emergency Nutrition response in three woredas of SNNPR region World Vison Ethiopia is proposing emergency nutrition response to save lives and reduce the morbidity and mortality of under five children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) due to deterioration of the nutritional status among severely drought-affected, high number of IDP hosting community, and IDPs in Korchere, Gedeb, and Dilla Zuria woredas of Gedeo zone, SNNP region. World Vision Ethiopia will implement the intervention focusing on the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) for the detection and rehabilitation of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases among under five children. Under the context of IDPs and existing under optimal child feeding and care practices among hosting community the project will also incorporate IYCF interventions targeting mothers with SAM children. Based on the Government structure, guidelines, and including new updates from ENCU WVE will support the existing CMAM program for the three proposed priority Woredas. Some of the identified and planned nutritional interventions include strengthening the community mobilization for quality screening, coverage, and linkage through appropriate mapping and targeting of eligible children monthly strengthening the capacity of the health professionals and the community for quality SAM treatment management through training, coaching/mentoring, top up drug provision for SC treatment sites, and ensuring the link of SAM cases to OTP and SC and quality documentation amp reporting. The program will also support the implementation of IYCF-E as cross cutting amp integrative component through strengthening of TFP sites for counselling on breast feeding and complementary feeding practices support with the existing health facility structure and setup, in which mothers from hosting and IDPs with SAM children at TFP sites and breast feed targeted for optimal breast feeding, mothers with breast feeding difficulty will be supported by skilled health workers and established mother-to-mother support group will also be strengthened for the purpose of convening key nutrition messages and experience sharing among mothers.
WVE will implement this program by assigning health and nutrition professionals who have proven experience on emergency nutrition programs on similar settings and in collaboration with other relevant Government organizations and UN agencies as per the requirement. Generally the project will directly benefit 1,665 (Girls 843 amp 823 Boys) and more than 549 (Girls 258 amp Boys 291) children with SAM for SAM management in Hosting and IDPs, respectively. 1,665 (Host) and 549 (IDP) mothers with SAM children for IYCF counseling support focusing for those mothers with children under 2 years.
Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) assistance to vulnerable children and their families affected by the inter-communal conflict in Abaya and Hambala Wamana Woredas of Guji  Zone – Oromia  Region The unprecedented inter-communal conflict in Gedo and West Guji zones created surge of internal displacement, which at its height displaced some 818,000 people. According to DMT Round 12, there are 603,703 IDPs in both zones. IDPs continue to return to their areas of origin, but there are still many in collective sites. There is also a threat of secondary displacement in the region, until peace and reconciliation efforts lead to durable solutions and an easing of tensions between communities. In conditions where IDPs remain in their areas of return, substantive assistance will continue to be required, as many of the returning IDPs are faced with destroyed homes, fallow fields, loss of livelihoods, and ongoing protection concerns. To meet the urgent humanitarian needs and provide emergency WASH services to these IDPs, an allocation of $ 1.5 million is dedicated to respond to the Guji and Gedeo displacement to address the increasing protection concerns particularly in the areas of return.
The project has been designed in line with the Guji zone response plan document and Water Bureau Master Database and the proposed activities are part of the WASH cluster and EOC priority. The project will capacitate the government offices through supply of generator and submersible pump to increase access to safe water facilities to the returnees living in 10 IDP sites of Abaya and Hambala Wamana woredas of Guji zone. The project will further provide increased access to WASH NFIs including dignity kit, distribution of water treatment chemicals for returnees and Conducting hygiene promotion activities to reduce health hazards and mitigate illness and diseases transmission. The action further proposes awareness training on promotion aspect, aiming to ensure that already vulnerable communities are not put at risk of water borne diseases, including AWD. Hence, the project aligns with the cluster level priority to ‘Save lives by responding to emergencies through improved coordination at all levels, to deliver water, sanitation and hygiene promotion assistance to affected populations’.
Save the Children plans to reach 27,156 individuals (F=13,307 amp M=13,849) in 10 IDP sites, through conducting hygiene promotion message 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, 1,358 families will receive hygiene and dignity kit. Additionally, the two woredas will be capacitated through the supply of pump and generator to increase access to sustainable water for the returnees and host communities.
Vulnerable disaster-affected populations in Erer and Siti zones of Somali region, disaggregated by sex have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services The project aims to increase equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, adequate sanitation, promote positive hygiene services and take appropriate action to curb potential outbreak of water borne diseases among the 41,590 (23,706 F, 17,884 M) disaster affected population in Erer and Sitti zones of the Somali region. NRC will implement the project in Mieso,Mayugulumo, Mayamulugo, Qubi. Salahad and Lagahida woredas. The sites have jointly been agreed with the Somali Regional WASH Cluster as well as closely coordinated with other partners. In order to achieve the set objective, the project seeks to undertake emergency water trucking, hygiene promotion, chlorination and water treatment, distribution of hygiene items, rehabilitation of water points and construct of both communal and institutional latrines. The beneficiaries will be selected through a consultative process with the community leaders in order to ensure the vulnerable with no means to improve their household hygiene are targeted. Female headed households will be prioritized and transparency will be ensured. The project will closely be coordinated with the both regional and Federal clusters as well as partners to ensure complementarity of the proposed activities.
