Restoring Communities in Mykolaiv, Ukraine In the aftermath of the destruction caused by the ongoing war, UNOPS and the government of Denmark are working with local partners to rebuild and revitalize entire neighbourhoods in southern Ukraine.\n\nMykolaiv City, like many others in Ukraine, has been deeply impacted by the war. According to a damage assessment by the EU, a total of 1,389 sites in Mykolaiv were damaged. The consequences of the destruction extend far beyond physical damages. The war has disrupted lives, fractured communities and undermined hopes of a prosperous future.\n\nFunded by the government of Denmark, a UNOPS-implemented project will rebuild vital infrastructure and help rejuvenate communities in Mykolaiv.\n\nThe project will be delivered across three stages.\n\nIn close collaboration with the authorities of Mykolaiv City, UNOPS will conduct needs assessments within certain neighbourhoods in Mykolaiv. Experts will study options to restore critical services such as the water supply, sewage systems, roads, schools, hospitals, kindergartens and nurseries. Additionally, the project will create shelters in key locations to ensure the safety and resilience of the communities .\n\nThe project will then move into detailed damage assessments within the chosen neighbourhoods. This will guide the design of the reconstruction, in line with Ukrainian requirements. Local partners will be engaged to carry out the restoration work. Simultaneously, community mobilizers will work closely with residents, addressing concerns, prioritizing interventions, and identifying opportunities for local employment.\n\nThe final phase of the project will involve restoring selected infrastructure where needed and requested. The goal is to empower communities to regain control over their lives.
Emergency Grant for Winterization Response and Provision of Housing to Vulnerable People of Ukraine With the government of Japan and local partners, UNOPS is supporting people in Ukraine’s Kharkiv Region, who are especially vulnerable to the ongoing conflict amid a cold winter. The escalation of conflict in Ukraine has brought massive devastation in urban centres. The widescale loss of vital infrastructure, including residential buildings and energy networks, has severely disrupted critical public services and left millions of people in crisis – a situation made even more dire by the freezing winter temperatures. With over $10 million in funding from the government of Japan, UNOPS will help to address critical winterization and housing needs, focusing on the hard-hit Kharkiv region. The provision of 50 high-capacity generators will contribute to a more stable supply of electricity – providing warm and dry spaces for communities. UNOPS will also repair homes of the conflict-affected population that have suffered various degrees of damage.
Support for UNDP in Ukraine Based on three decades of partnership with the Government of Ukraine, UNDP has been working with municipalities, civil society organizations, and business associations across the country. \n\nUNOPS supports UNDP in Ukraine through rapid response capacity for the scaling up of Humanitarian Mine Action capacities of state actors. In particular, UNOPS will provide support to the UNDP office in Ukraine through procurement and contracting of operational resources. \n\n

Explosive Ordnance Disposal Capability in Support of Agricultural Livelihoods in Ukraine The explosive hazards engulfing Ukraine since Russia began its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, have severely impacted agriculture in the country known as the breadbasket of Europe. The scale of explosive ordnance contamination, has forced the authorities to difficult choices in prioritisation, with the result that agricultural lands remain covered in mines and explosive remnats of war as scarce demining assets are deployed to villages and cities. In response to this situation, the project aims to increase increase Ukraine's explosive ordnance disposal capability for agricultural livelihoods.
The Repairing Essential Logistics Infrastructure and Network  Repairing Essential Logistics Infrastructure and Network Connectivity (RELINC) in Ukraine The Repairing Essential Logistics Infrastructure and Network Connectivity (RELINC) Project  in Ukraine helps to restore essential bridges and railways to relink communities and improve westward transport linkages to mitigate impacts of Black Sea shipping disruptions.

Cholera Response:  Integrated WASH Assistance in Ibb and Al Hudaydah Governorates As of 10 January 2017, a total of 180 Cholera cases were confirmed by laboratory testing across 14 governorates in Yemen, and 15,468 suspected Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) cases are reported in 15 governorates.  In order to contain and prevent the spread of cholera in affected areas in Ibb and Al Hudaydah governorates, ACTED proposes a comprehensive emergency WASH response at both the community and household level.  All proposed activities are in line with the recommendations of the WASH cluster and designed to improve WASH environments in to combat and prevent the spread of cholera.  At the household level, ACTED proposes to distribute cholera prevention kits (containing a supply of aquatabs, soap, and jerry cans for a period of three months) to 4,900 households in communities Al Hudaydah and Ibb with confirmed and suspected cases of cholera. This will be paired with group cholera prevention awareness-raising sessions and regular water quality monitoring for free residual chlorine (FRC) at the household level.  At the community level, to support the chlorination of the water in 100 health facilities in Ibb and Al Hudaydah and at the Ibb City water network for a period of three months, ACTED will procure chlorine and provide training its proper handling and usage for the relevant individuals handling chlorine. This will be done in parallel with regular FRC monitoring performed by ACTED, cholera prevention training with health facility staff, and the distribution of health facility specific cholera prevention kits.
Envelop 1: Improving Food Security to the most vulnerable and strengthening integration with the existing Nutrition Projects in Tuban District Lahj Governorate The intervention proposed by FMF is aiming to target the most vulnerable population through providing them food vouchers and will address urgent need for food in district identified by the food security cluster as key places of vulnerability. The program will be implemented in areas experiencing extended hunger gap and severe food shortage. It targets the most vulnerable households identified by food cluster and affected by conflicts including families with U5 children (girls and boys) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) suffering from SAM and MAM. By so doing, the project will mitigate the prevalence of negative coping mechanisms among assisted households and prevent malnutrition. The program provides a food vouchers to the target beneficiaries to be able overcome hunger and malnutrition and hence it restores production capacity of households’ dependant on food aid.

FMF is currently implementing GFD and Nutrition Project in Tuban District Lahj Governorate with funding support from WFP, and Cholera response project supported by UNICEF. The proposed Food Security project will enable FMF to integrate such project with Nutrition and Cholera projects. Through the use of voucher system, the project stimulates local markets and catalyses trade while enhancing the purchasing power for the most vulnerable population affected by food shortage.
WASH response to the cholera and acute watery diarrhea outbreak in Yemen This project aims to provide WASH supplies to partners identified by National Taskforce (WASH and Health). The WASH Cluster prioritize the governorates of Sana’a, Ibb, Taizz, Al Bayda, Al Dhale, Al Hudaydah and Hajja. This project will cover the supply gap also in the other governorates based on the updated data of cases shared on 10th January 2017. UNICEF will procure the Cholera kits and chlorination supply immediately. However for quick response UNICEF will start providing supplies available in stock upon securing the fund and use the fast track of procurement for the rest.  

The estimation of beneficiaries is based on the latest updated data of AWD/Cholera on 10th and 24th January 2017 which identied the cases in 15 governorates. 15,468 Acute watery diarrhoea (AWD)/Cholera cases and 99 associated deaths in 135 districts in 15 governorates, including Al Hudaydah, Aden, Taizz, Al Bayda, Al Dhale'e, Hajjah, Ibb, Sana’a, Lahj, Amanat Al Asimah, Raymah, Abyan, Dhamar, Amran and Al-Jawf.

The Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) of Cholera and AWD developed Yemen WASH Cluster in January 2017 will be used for procurement and post monitoring of distributed supply items. Specifically, chlorination of water supply and distribution of kits in affected areas. The priorities of distribution will be for the areas where households have confirmed cases. To prevent the spread of cases, the distribution will target the other 500 households nearest to that household with confirmed case. The partners also will distribute the cholera kits and chlorination items for those attending the DTCs and activities related to the assessment of contaminated water sources as part of their on-going activities.
Cholera response for priority districts in Hajjah Governorate The conflict in Yemen has developed into a long-lasting humanitarian disaster and the situation is rapidly deteriorating in large parts of the country. Hospitals and health facilities do not have the possibility to care for patients adequately. Hygienic treatment and operating of the facilities cannot be ensured yet. Addtionally, most of the families in the Hajja Governorate cannot ensure basic hygiene and have no access or affordable means to equip themselves with the needed materials. The likelihood of a spread of diseases, such as Cholera, is high.  

An initial request by the Hajjah Health Office towards Vision Hope International took place. Their requirement was help in addressing the Cholera spread in some districts of Hajjah. The request has been verified with the request by the Health and WASH cluster. Thus, the project targets various districts: Hajjah city, Hajjah rural, Al Mahabishah Ash Shahel and Abs. The activities are algined with the identified needs of the health as well as WASH cluster. 

In order to meet the identified needs, VHI strives for two outcomes: firstly, the improved capacity of treatment, identification as well as case management of cholera in the priority districts and secondly, the improved hygiene management as well as personal hygiene including raised awareness with regards to cholera in the priority districts. 

To reach these outcomes the level of readiness of the response team, health workers and the facilities will be enhanced through training measures. Additionally, related medicines for treatment of patients with cholera treatments will be distributed in the five districts. 2500 families will receive cholera prevention kits for personal hygiene. This will reduce the spread of diseases through better hygiene. Furthermore, the communicty awareness about the diseases and simple prevention methods takes place. The health facilities can be seen as one of the major places for spreading diseases such as Cholera. Therefore, four hand washing stations as well as two foot washing stations will be set up in each health facilities and the staff be trained on the correct handling and refill of chlorine solutions. Additionally, the health facilities will be equipped with Cholera cleaning kits on a monthly cases. These include materials needed to clean equipment, rooms as well as everything needed after treating Cholera patients. The aim here is to establish a sufficient Cholera identification as well as first measures to take until the patient can be referred to a CTU.
Through this approach, VHI aims on the holistic approach of the situation through targeting the community, the health facilities and additionally including the local authorities such as the Ministry of Public Health   

With the end of the project, a final evaluation will take place.
Health and WASH Integrated Response for IDPs and Those Most Vulnerable to Cholera in Al Bayda Governorate The Integrated Response for IDPs and Most Vulnerable to Cholera Outbreak in Al Bayda Governorate project is designed with an aim to improve access to integrated cholera response interventions for those most vulnerable (IDPs, women, children and Cholera survivors) in the Al Bayda governorate by the end of June 2018. This project is summarized through the following:

1.Health:
- Continue supporting 4 DTCs for 6 months
- Continue supporting 12 ORTCs for 6 months
- Provide necessary medicines and equipment for 4 DTCs and 12 ORTCs for 6 months
- Support 109 healthcare service providers financially (65 in the DTCs, 36 in ORCs and 8 in HF ).
- Support 2 health facilities in Al Bayda City with essential drugs, medical supplies and training on EmOC to provide minimum services package.

2.WASH:
- Provide water for 4 DTCs and 12 ORTCs for 6 months
- Test chlorinated water sources
- Provide 1500 CHKs and chlorine tabs for patients discharged from DTCs
- Conduct awareness sessions on AWD/cholera and sanitation/hygiene best practices.

NFDHR will recruit project core staff within the first week, and will continue to support our already established cholera teams in each target district: Rada, Mukayras, Ash Sharyah and Radman Al Awad. Health and WASH coordinators will closely synchronize the project activities and the project’s managers will be responsible for the management and coordination of these activities. NFDHR will also collaborate with the relevant clusters, including the sub-offices and sub-clusters' coordinators and members and other partners working in Al Bayda City, Rada, Mukayras, Ash Sharyah and Radman Al Awad to ensure effective and efficient planning and to avoid duplication. Through this collaboration, necessary changes can be suggested and openly communicated regarding health and WASH teams, health service provision and/or beneficiary selection criteria. Also, the NFDHR office in Al Bayda City and Rada, will follow up the implementation process on a daily-basis. We will also conduct monitoring visits for follow-up with the Health and WASH activities, as well as to document project challenges and success with ensuring reporting is gender dis-aggregated by age, sex and diversity.
Enhancing logistics and supplies for the cholera outbreak control Main activities of the proposed project will be focused on  procurement of essential laboratory supplies – to support timely laboratory confirmation of suspected cholera cases, and procurement of essential cholera  medicines and rapid tests - for distribution to Cholera Treatment Centres (CTC) and Oral Dehydration Corners (ORCs).  Upon delivery to the country, procured medicines will be distributed to the health facilities supported by WHO and/or other health partners based on the established needs  ( caseload of patients  in the existing facilities, available stocks, # and location of new cases, attack rates and case fatality rates).

Proposed project will form part of the overall WHO response to the cholera outbreak second wave, which has started in Yemen on 27 April 2017. The main  goal of  WHO's cholera outbreak response is to reduce avoidable mortality and morbidity with the following specific 6 life-saving objectives:

  Reinforcing early warning and disease surveillance to ensure timely reporting of cases, laboratory confirmation and response mechanisms to the cholera outbreak
  Improving case management and infection control practices to reduce morbidity and mortality due to cholera at health facility level
  Strengthening risk communication campaigns in high risk districts
  Improving infection control and WASH activities 
  Enhancing logistics and supplies
  Ensuring efficient and effective national and subnational coordination is in place to manage the outbreak response

Proposed project will be implemented in conjunction and close coordination with other cholera response interventions of WHO and Health Cluster partners.
