Early life-saving response to 3,230 Households (19,380 persons) in Baardheere projected to be most affected by El Nino induced flooding through provision of Non-Food items and Plastic Sheets. ltpgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtAVORD is submitting this proposal to provide early life-saving assistance to 3,230 households (19,380 persons) in Baardheere who are facing the risk of El Niño-induced flooding.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="" data-sourcepos="3:1-3:1046" style=""gtUnder the proposed initiative, AVORD will distribute standard Non-Food Items (NFIs) kits with 2 additional plastic sheets to 3,230 households (approx. 19,380 persons) who will be selected from the most vulnerable groups such as those living in poor shelter conditions, persons with disabilities, households with a large number of children between the ages of 6 months and 5 years, female-headed households, GBV survivors as referred by protection partners, and people from marginalized groups. Each NFI kit will contain core items such as 3 Plastic Sheets, 3 Blankets, 2 Sleeping Mats, 1 Kitchen Set, 1 double Mosquito Net, 1 Solar torch and 2 collapsible Jerrycans with a capacity of 10 liters each. The plastic sheets will help the beneficiaries to improve their shelter conditions and protect them from harsh weather. The same households will receive both standard NFI kits and Plastic Sheets. Data collected to inform beneficiary selection will be disaggregated by gender and disability to ensure that no group is left out.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="5:1-5:208" style="" class=""gtAs part of the distribution process, full beneficiary details will be captured alongside their contact telephone numbers and original fingerprints to facilitate future ME and impact evaluation processes.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="7:1-7:270" style="" class=""gtUtilizing its field expertise, AVORD will ensure safe distribution of NFIs through transparent selection of beneficiaries, promoting the active participation of beneficiaries in all project phases and equitable inclusion of the different fabrics of the target community.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="9:1-9:621" style="" class=""gtAVORD is committed to preventing aid diversion by strengthening its risk management measures. To this end, it will store aid supplies in secure facilities with limited access, track their movement from receipt to distribution, monitor aid activities to identify potential risks, and use a transparent process to select and register beneficiaries. AVORD will also educate beneficiaries about their rights and entitlements, and the fact that no conditions are attached to the aid provided. AVORD will also enforce its established code of conduct for staff and partners, and its whistle-blower and fraud prevention policies.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="11:1-11:898" style="" class=""gtTo mainstream protection and ensure that the unique needs of women, men, boys and girls are addressed during distribution processes, AVORD will adopt a number of strategies. These include establishing separate queuing lines for men and women, where necessary, and ensuring the presence of female team members at distribution sites to foster inclusion. Additionally, special arrangements will be made for the delivery of relief items to persons who have difficulty accessing the distribution point or carrying the kits, such as the disabled. All distribution activities will take place during daylight hours to allow beneficiaries sufficient time to travel home before nightfall. Distribution sites and access routes will be safe with enough space for orderly and safe distribution.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="13:1-13:502" style="" class=""gtThroughout project implementation, AVORD will actively engage women in all project phases and decision-making processes while being mindful of prevailing cultural norms. Existing Feedback and Complaint Mechanism (FCM) will be utilized at the project outset to ensure accountability to the affected population. Periodic meetings will be organized with community leaders and representatives from beneficiaries to discuss project activities and document any specific issues or feedback raised by target communities.lt/pgtltp data-sourcepos="15:1-15:311" style="" class=""gtThe present proposal is designed to address the urgent needs of the people of Baardheere who are facing the threat of El Niño-induced flooding. Moreover, AVORD will coordinate with other humanitarian programs by other partners in Baardheere to ensure value for money and maximize the efficiency of the response.lt/pgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtltbrgtlt/pgt
