Integrated WASH and Protection Intervention Life-saving Services for Conflict-affected Communities All Girls Foundation for Development (AGF) will implement this program in an integrated approach while focusing on targeting Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Host Communities in Az Zaydiyah District in Al-Hudaydah Governorate, which has been identified by OCHA in the Yemen Humanitarian Pool Fund Allocation Strategy.
This proposed intervention will target over 10,000 people in three areas in the district: Az Zaydiyah (town), Dair Asla Village and Dair Gurab Village. It will include several activities related to WASH and protection (GBV) services.
AGF has already conducted a needs assessment in these target areas in the Az Zaydiyah district. The report indicates the urgent need for intervention in WASH and Protection (GBV) to target a total of 10,031 people, including IDPs and host community individuals.
In Az Zaydiyah District, over 1280 IDPs have been identified. They were displaced from the neighboring governorate of Hajjah more than 19 months ago. Now, many of the IDPs live in temporary accommodations owned by local people who are not their relatives, while some others live in shabby hutments with virtually no basic WASH services.
While they use a very small roughly built and often crudely furnished shack (with a pit in the earth) for use in defecation and urination (See attached photos).  
WASH services will be provided to the most vulnerable individuals and the host communities in Az Zaydiyah (town), Dair Asala and Dair Ghurab.
The existing water sources in Dair Asala and Dair Gurab will be rehabilitated accessibility to safe/drinking water will, then, be achieved, while people in both target areas will benefit from the rehabilitated water projects in a sustainable manner.  
The intervention will include installation of 20 water tanks in Dair Asala and Dair Ghurab – with 10 in each area/village, to ensure sufficient and safe collective storage capacity to meet the daily water demand distribution of 20-litre jerry cans to 1100 households – with 2 for each household and installation of 58 emergency latrines in Az Zaydiyah town.
 
The intervention will take into account equitable access to both genders and special consideration to those with special needs. The proposed protection component will provide life-saving protection assistance and services to vulnerable women and GBV survivors with package of awareness-raising activities for individuals and households.
This package aims to prevent and mitigate GBV and make the target people aware of how to access psychosocial support. Moreover, the intervention will focus on women and address women’s unmet non-food item needs (NFIs) through the distribution of dignity kits in cooperation with UNFPA.
For the purpose of coordination and implementation at the field based on common ground, building capacity training for field team local partners will be implemented on” mainstreaming of protection elements” “guidelines for integrating gender based violence interventions in humanitarian action” “writing reports” "Accountability to Affected population". The project will ensure that management structure will be established to ensure the target group access to the services provided in safe and easy way.
