Unicef lot 11: project in Unity state - Rubkona, Guit, Mayom, Pariang and Abiemnon counties South Sudan’s health system continues to suffer the effects of decades of conflict, and recurrent effects of poor weather while Covid 19 pandemic has stretched it further. Structures are weakened including leadership and governance, health care financing, commodities and supplies, human resources for health, service delivery, and health information systems. Even where health facilities are available, access and utilization are also not optimal given the many demand side barriers including weak community structures, poor access especially during the rainy seasons, insecurity, poverty and negative social cultural factors. Given this scenario, South Sudan has one of the worst health indicators globally. The country has a maternal mortality ratio of 1150 per 100,000 live births, and an equally high neonatal and under five mortality rates at 38.6 and 96.2 per 1000 respectively. There is low health service utilization rate at 0.60 per capita and poor coverage of critical services including childhood immunization (pentavalent 3 at 33%) and facility-based deliveries (19.4%).
. The objective of this project is to deliver live saving, low cost, high impact essential health services in Abiemnon, Guit, Mayom, Pariang and Rubkona counties and will target a catchment population of 597,512 inhabitants utilizing the health systems approach whereby the county health departments of Abiemnom, Guit, Mayom, Pariang and Rubkona counties will be supported to offer basic health services at the state, county, facility and community level. Number and type(s) of direct beneficiaries	155,575 (F-80,889,M-74,676)
Number and type(s) of indirect beneficiaries	311,150(F-161,7981,M-149,352)

Caritas Appeal 2023 Yemen To reduce mortality and morbidity of the 62,644 conflict-affected women, men, girls and boys in Aden governorate in Yemen through life-saving Health, Protection and WASH intervention increase the most vulnerable people’s access to basic services of food and to contribute to increasing the ability of vulnerable families to withstand shocks by improving access to livelihood opportunities and increasing the income of the targeted family in Sallah District - Taiz Governorate.
South Sudan Women Empowerment One of the consequences of the prolonged civil wars in South Sudan is increased gender inequality and increasing cases of sexual and gender-based violence. – Women and girls and boys are also extra vulnerable to forced labour and sexual exploitation, inter-ethnic abductions and abductions by criminal groups. The abductees are subsequently forced into domestic servitude, herding or sex trafficking. Women contribute 80% of the agriculture labour, but still have limited access to productive assets like land title, finance, control over produce sold, and are usually excluded from various decision-making processes. Cordaid Studies conducted in Bor, Yambio, Torit between 2018- and 2019 found that average annual income for female-headed households (SSP 7,959 ($34.60)) is significantly lower than that of male-headed households (SSP 22,078 ($95.99)). Education rates for adult men are 40%, compared to 16% of women. Domestic violence is common: 82% of women and 81% of men agreed that “women should tolerate violence to keep her family together”. 45% of girls are married before 18.
Cordaid launched the Women Peace and Security (WPS) Barometer Report (link to report) on women’s perspectives on security in South Sudan in 2019, confirming a lack of awareness on women rights, leading to acceptance of domestic and gender-based violence. There is a strong linkage between traditions (stigma and gender norms), lack of economic opportunities and different forms of (S)GBV. It was also reported that civic space is under increasing pressure as democratic rights and freedom of speech are often curtailed constraining lobby and advocacy efforts on women's rights. Overall objective: 
Narrowing the "gender gap" through the synergy of economic, political and social empowerment of women in Malakal and Bor counties of South Sudan.
Specific objective(s):
1. Promote women’s economic empowerment at the local level, with specific attention to those in the most vulnerable situations through promoting Climate Resilient Livelihoods, Market System Development and Business Development Services
2. Promote a culture of respect for women’s social, economic, and political rights at the local level in identified states/counties through strengthening and reinforcing capacities of key actors Key target groups:

Geographic focus: The action will be implemented in following Bor (Jonglei State), and Malakal (Upper Nile State). The target beneficiaries of this Action are women and girls, particularly in rural communities of Bor and Malakal, with a focus on the most vulnerable (women head of household, women and girls with disabilities, displaced, survivor of sexual violence in conflict, etc).
Food Shelter for War-Affected Families in Yemen More than two and a half years since the escalation of the conflict, Yemeni people continue to bear the brunt of ongoing hostilities and severe economic decline. People are increasingly exhausting their coping mechanisms, and as a result the humanitarian crisis remains extremely widespread: of the 29 million Yemini, an estimated 22.2 million people in Yemen need some kind of humanitarian or protection assistance, including 11.3 million who are in acute need – an increase of more than one million people in acute need since June 2017.

The devastating conflict has left children and families in urgent need of food, water and medical supplies. According to Unicef, since the conflict began, an average of six children have been killed or maimed every day. Right now more than 11 million children in Yemen are in danger. Malnutrition is at an all-time high. Hundreds of thousands of children are suffering from severe malnutrition and urgently need life-saving food to survive. At least one child dies every 10 minutes in Yemen from malnutrition and preventable diseases! The life-saving protection and assistance needs of conflict affected internally displaced persons and their host community are met;
Ensure continued and regular access to food, shelter and WASH for conflict affected IDPs and their host community. Assistance is provided in line with cluster (WASH, Shelter & NFI) standards and beneficiaries are selected based upon agreed vulnerability criteria:
-	Female Headed Household; 
-	Child Headed Household; 
-	Disabled Headed Household; 
-	Elderly Headed Household with no adults having an income; 
-	Households with children under 5 with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) or Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM);
-	Vulnerable Households with children under five years old and/or pregnant women and/or lactating women;
-	Very Large Family (8 members or more) with only one adult having an income; 
-	Very Poor Families; 
-	Families with Chronically-ill or disabled members or having other pressing vulnerability.
WASH intervention targeting IDPs and host communities The security and humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate in Namentenga province and in particular in the commune of Boulsa, provincial capital, with a number of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) still growing. People have fled to Boulsa from Belga, Tangui, Poli Mossi, Poli Peulh, Tangui, Zaongo, Zaabga, Fatenga. There are more than 7,000 households, or approximately 52,311 individuals in Boulsa where people are now sheltering in public spaces and with host families, that in many cases is adding to the existing vulnerabilities of these households. This situation exacerbates the risks of prevalence of communicable diseases and Gender based violence. Due to the deterioration of the security situation in the surrounding localities, the displaced people are not expected to return to their villages anytime soon. Overcrowding is a serious problem and the WASH situation is concerning. Boreholes need to be rehabilitated and newly built because at the moment these facilities are inadequate in view of the new influx of populations in the city. Moreover, there is a need for more latrines for both IDPs and host families. The objective of this project is to improve the WASH situation of the IDPs and their host families in the commune of Boulsa, Burkina Faso, building latrines and boreholes, rehabilitation WASH facilities and distributing hygiene kits, WASH kits, and establish and train committees to manage the function of the facilities. IDPs that have fled to Boulsa and families hosting IDPs
Life saving assistance to IDPs and Returnees in Afghanistan Afghanistan is facing a widespread humanitarian crisis where humanitarian needs are fast growing, especially 
due to the increase of civilian casualties and displaced populations. In addition, the on-going conflict 
Afghanistan is also facing a dramatic increasing in returnees from Iran and Pakistan. By the end of 2016 the 
total number of IDPs had reached 652,000 while the total number of returnees from Pakistan reached 620,000 
individuals. According to the UN, over one million people are estimated to be on the move by the end of 2016 
internally and across the borders, significantly burdening already fragile humanitarian context in Afghanistan. 
On top of the raging conflict, threats against aid workers are escalating, cutting access to aid and services for 
many Afghans in highly insecure area. In light of this, the overall objective of the project is to alleviate the human suffering of IDPs and Returnees. The 
specific objective of the project is that men, women and children in the target population (380 returnee or IDP 
families, 2,660 individuals) have increased access to dignifying shelter, food, water, winterisation and selected 
services IDPs and returnees
Humanitarian Response and Resilience Building for Drought-Affected Communities in Afar Region Four years of successive drought in Ethiopia and the failure of the recent rainy season has seriously affected the country, especially in the lowland areas.  In the Afar Region the hotspot woredas of Elidar and Kori are facing a critical situation.  In these woredas, drinking water is the top priority and current emergency water trucking by Cordaid partner APDA provides around 1.6 liters per day until May 3rd 2018 which is way below the Sphere standard of survival water intake of 2.5 to 3 liters per day.  
In Elidar, the community has not received nutrition surveillance and treatment of malnutrition as reported by the Bureau of Health monthly taskforce. Until December 31st, APDA was supporting this population but their situation has deteriorated to a SAM of 6.7% and a MAM of 17.9% (it should be noted that the survey covered only 21% of the target since it was undertaken without logistic support). The underlying factors include an actual lack of food in the households since government emergency food was not delivered in the woredas for the past 3 months and livestock are unable to produce milk due to their poor conditions due to lack of water and pasture. If assistance is not provided, many children under five and pregnant & lactating mothers face the risk of a critical nutrition emergency. Objective: Supporting basic needs and resilience of drought affected people in need in North Afar by combining First and second line humanitarian response in wash, nutrition, livelihoods and resilient recovery. Drought affected people in need in North Afar, Ethiopia.
Emergency assistance for flood affected people in Jonglei Pigi/Canal county is one of the Nine most affected counties in Jonglei state. In Pigi/Canal County, 78,000 people have been displaced, 191 tons of cereal production lost (32% of total county production) and 5,286 reported total number of animals that died amongst 72,366 affected animals. The most affected locations in Pigi/Canal include Kurwai, Wunlel, Dhiel, Panam and Khorfulus. The impact of the flood exacerbates on the IPC 4 July-September projections of Canal/Pigi County. In addition, the flood has displaced thousands of people with women and children the most affected, houses are destroyed, properties lost, and water infrastructures are made unsafe for drinking. The lack of shelter and safe and sufficient drinking water is a major public health risk, as people cannot protect themselves against the weather and waterborne diseases are on the rise. There is also a spike in malarial cases. Women, children, elderly and disabled are disproportionately affected by the floods, violence, and displacement, making them extremely vulnerable for (S)GBV increasing their protection needs.
Despite already efforts to assist people from some of the affected counties, no assistance has reached people of Pigi/Canal County to date. As such, 78,000 people in Pigi/Canal are in immediate need of food assistance as well as seeds and fishing gears to allow them to rebuild their livelihoods. Household water treatment products including WASH NFIs are needed as well, to ensure immediate access to safe drinking water as water infrastructures are being restored. People also need Shelter and non-food items to ensure proper shelter and protection against weather, reducing protection risks of women, girls, boys and the elderly who are disproportionately affected. Lack of proper shelter and non-food items of recent have seen rise in many cases of pneumonia, Rheumatoid and Malaria among the elderly and children. Furthermore, lack of safe water and sanitation facilities is a major public health risk with a looming outbreak of cholera. people have access to immediate food assistance In consultation and coordination with UNOCHA, RRC, and all the clusters, Cordaid will target the most vulnerable households. For beneficiary targeting the cluster standards will be used. Criteria for beneficiary selection include: 
•	Children

•	Child headed households
•	Elderly headed households and persons with specific needs (PSN) such as chronically ill, disabled people, PLW
•	Type of shelter and condition the beneficiaries are being accommodate in now.
Households with no basic items /or those who have lost most of their properties during the flooding.
