Humanitarian Capacity Building and Partners Accompanier Project The quality of CAFOD’s work is reflected by the quality of work done by its local partners. This project is about improving the quality and accountability of work of CAFOD strategic partners.Emphasis will be on key aspects of humanitarian work, project cycle management, effective emergency response, international humanitarian standards and administrative support systems. The level of improvement is up to where partners are confident and consistent in the use and application of international humanitarian standards and principles in their programming. Whilst some capacity exists in the partners this project seeks to strengthen the capacity of the partners to respond to emergency situations and to mitigate the impact of humanitarian disasters in their areas of operation . 

Besides projects implementation, the capacity building project seeks to help partners to improve their administrative systems and procedures in areas such as human resources, finance, supply chain and logistics, parish and diocesan project implementation and administration guidelines. By aiming at improving the quality of work of partners the envisaged outcomes will be improved effectiveness in delivery of humanitarian and development work, improved accountability of partners and administrative systems. 

Key areas of focus shall be on improving project cycle management, better implementation of emergency responses and improving community managed disaster risk reduction and preparedness. For example, one area of training will be on conducting needs assessments during an emergency which shall involve simulation exercises within a community on data gathering, analysis, production of a needs assessment report, production of a project proposal and planning an emergency response. Other key areas of training shall be on international humanitarian principles and humanitarian law, humanitarian standards such as Good Enough Guide, HAP-I, Sphere, LEGS (for partners that deal with pastoral communities) Red Cross Code of Conduct and so on.

Rehabilitation of Rural Productive Livelihoods affected by Post Election Violence in Kenya This project has been developed in response to the post-election violence in Kenya in early 2008.  Approximately 600,000 people were displaced and property and assets destroyed with a consequence of disrupted cultivation and trade which are constraints to the resumption of crop production and livelihoods security that this project seeks to address.
Caritas Mombasa Capacity Development project 2016 CAFOD will support Caritas Mombasa through the provision of a grant to facilitate staff training on fundraising and security and safety training.  Consultants will be hired to realise these activities.  A clear fundraising strategy will be developed and it is hoped that training will enhance capacities of staff to explore more  funding opportunities and therefore increase outreach to more needy persons in the Diocese.  The consultant hired for security & safety training will also develop simple security management guidelines
Community Climate Change Adaptation and Resilient Project The Catholic Diocese of Maralal covers three administrative districts of Samburu Central, Samburu East and Samburu North, a total of 21,000KM2. It serves a population of 223,947 people. The area covered is arid and has been adversely affected by recurrent droughts leading to increasing levels of drought losses. To reduce the impact of recurrent droughts on target communities over the coming years, the Diocese of Maralal plans to implement a second phase of Disaster Risk Reduction Project titled, 'Community Climate Change Adaptation and Resilient Initiative". 

The proposed project is meant to address the main problem of the target communities' ability to predict, prepare for and mitigate the effects of the disasters. Due to the cyclical occurrences of drought related disasters, it has been difficult to realize long-term sustainable development in the target areas. This has been exacerbated by the fact that the community’s traditional ways of predicting, preparing for and mitigating the effects of disasters have been over ridden by modern methods as well as poor access to government services.

The Community Climate Change Adaptation and Resilient Project Goal is to enhance target communities' resilience to hazards in Samburu North and Samburu Central to predict, prepare for, mitigate and develop positive coping mechanisms to the effects of drought by 2014. The project has six closely interrelated outcomes including: improved community and partner capacity to effectively engage in DRR and climate change work; improved awareness on climate change and environmental protection; improved access to potable water for human, livestock and agricultural use; improved hygiene and sanitation for target communities; and improved accessibility of target communities through construction of rural access roads.

The proposed project will be implemented in two divisions of Lorroki and Baragoi and will target a total of 6,500 beneficiaries. In Lorroki the project will be implemented in Longewani, Amaiya, Logorate, Lolmolong and Malaso while in Baragoi the project will be implemented in Logetei and Ngilai.
Food Security and Livelihood opportunities for Rural Communities - Poultry Keeping Project This is a one year project seeking to promote food security and livelihood opportunities for Rural Communities affected by HIV and AIDS by promoting Poultry Farming in Homabay Diocese.  The project activities have been developed to complement an existing Integrated food Security Project that works to promote agro-enterprise and income diversification for households in Homa Bay county.  

The rational of the project is that HIV and AIDS affects the most active members of the labour force; it reduces earnings and imposes huge costs on all economic activities. Most activities of the main project are primarily labour intensive and require significant inputs of time and energy.   Learning from the main Integrated Food Security Project (IFSP) largely informed this project design. 

From April 2017 to March 2018, with funding from The Jerusalem Trust, the partner implemented a one-year poultry keeping project.  During the year, Caritas Homa Bay organised families affected by HIV and AIDS into 60 poultry farming and enterprise groups. Our partner equipped 350 group members with skills on good poultry rearing practices including proper housing and hygiene, feeding, disease management and the safe disposal of poultry manure. The groups were trained on poultry production including poultry as a source of food and income, and how to create job opportunities for other members of the community along the poultry value chain.

With additional funding from Jerusalem Trust the partner will sustain successes from year 1 in the period April 2019 to March 2020 by:

• Addressing challenges including access to poultry feeds, poultry diseases and egg handling.  
• Supporting the originally established five Poultry Enterprise Groups to scale up production and make a return on investment.  
• Reaching the wider community through training on poultry production in order to access nutritious food and sell poultry for profit at market.
Marsabit Drought Emergency Response Project 2021 The food security situation has been on a worsening trend in the Arid and Semi-Arid (ASAL) counties in Kenya attributed mainly to the poor performance of the October -December 2020 short rains and the March - May 2021 long rains. Both seasons were characterized by late onsets, below average cumulative quantities, and poor distribution both in time and space.
Assistance will be targeted at the worst affected areas which are currently not supported by any partner. A community-based targeting approach will identify people who will receive assistance. These will include female headed households with children under 5 years; pregnant or lactating mothers with children under 5 years; female headed families with no source of income; families with severely or moderately malnourished children or child (under 5 years); households headed by persons living with disabilities with no source of income and child headed households.
 Project Goal is to alleviate suffering and save livelihoods for drought affected persons in Marsabit County
Project Outcomes: Increased food access for 180 and  access to water for 1900 drought affected households in Marsabit County

Specific Objectives
1. To enhance food access for 180 drought affected households in Marsabit County
2. To improve water access for 1900 households in Marsabit County
Activities
provide  100 target households with a half month ration of as per sphere standards for 3 months. This will translate to a food voucher worth KES 5000 per month which will be restricted to essential households’ foodstuffs.
The project will provide assorted food items Worth KES.5000 to 80 families affected by the drought and are in very remote places where there are no shops to redeem food vouchers.
Water trucking for 30days, provision of fuel subsidies and provision of fast moving spare parts to improve water access for 1900hh
Post election violence - Nairobi The Archdiocese of Nairobi is currently playing a major role in managing the humanitarian crisis in Nairobi slums caused by the political impasse.   The post election stalemate and violence has so far left over 250,000 people displaced and averagely 1,000 killed.  Archdiocese of Nairobi is working with other agencies to alleviate hygienic, nutritional, shelter and other basic needs the displaced persons have been deprived of. 

Kariobangi parish serves many slums in Nairobi including Korogocho, Huruma, Gitathuru, Ghetto and Kariobangi centre. There are two churches in the parish, one in Kariobangi and one in Korogocho each having received a high number of IDPs.  The area has a high population density, especially within Korogocho itself.
Research and advocacy project - Promoting pro-poor, climate compatible energy for poverty reduction The overall aim of this project is to promote informed, inclusive and integrated local and national discussion of the economic, environmental and social cost-benefit analysis of different energy pathways for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction in Kenya. In particular, the aim is to frame this discussion from an “energy for national development” rather than – or rather than solely – a “climate protection” perspective in order to get greater political traction.

The project comes at a critical time for influencing the implementation and financing of Kenya’s national energy and climate change policies . Kenya’s 2030 economic vision is for a 10% increase in GDP from 2012 onwards with energy as one of the key sectors for reform. In terms of its development needs, the Kenyan population is growing at a high rate, which has led to increase in demand for resources such as energy, food, and infrastructure – in the case of energy access, population growth is outstripping electrification. 67% of Kenyan citizens live in rural areas. Up to 90% of people living in these areas lack access to electricity, and rely on crude and unsustainable forms of energy supply such as traditional bio-mass.
This project also reflects a crucial moment for local development in Kitui County, where CAFOD’s strategic partner Caritas Kitui works. Planned open-cast, lignite coal extraction in the Mui Basin, Kitui County starting in 2016 could have potentially devastating economic, social, and environmental impacts on local communities, including on their food and water security and their land rights. Again, there is a huge information and analysis gap among local communities, and other stakeholders, including County and National government, and Catholic Bishops on the implications of the coal investments for sustainable economic development and poverty reduction in Kitui. It is vital that a baseline study be carried out before any coal investment-related activities begin.
Kitui Integrated Food Security Project (KIFSP) The overall objective of the Kitui Integrated Food Security Project (KIFSP) is to improve security and resilience to climate shocks for target communities in Kitui County, Kenya.

The project specifically aims to achieve:

1. Improved capacity of local community to manage and protect natural resources sustainably through preparedness and mitigation against the effects of natural calamities.

2. Improved crop production and livestock management characterized by quality and quantity production, preservation.

3. Target beneficiaries in Migwani Ward have increased access to potable water for domestic and agricultural uses and are practising safe hygiene and sanitation practices. 

4. Target communities in Migwani and Yatta/Kwa Vonza Wards are actively engaging the government systems for improved service delivery.
Sustainable Access to Safe Water for Drought affected Households in Ntirim, Isiolo County This project aims to provide sustainable water  access & food for drought affected households( 500hh/2500persons) in Ntirim village, isiolo County. This will be done through construction and rehabilitation of 4 shallow wells (2 new & 2 Old) fitted with Afridev hand pumps and cattle troughs. The water will be for domestic use and watering of livestock. The most vulnerable households(150hh) will also receive food vouchers equivalent to a family food basket of KES 2500/- per household/month for three months.
Promoting Food Security Among Drought Stricken Households in Samburu County More than 200,000 persons in Samburu County are experiencing extreme water shortages with most of the water points drying. According to NDMA drought bulletin for the month of September 2022, vegetation greenness in Samburu County has remained below the average since the beginning of the year across the livelihood zones. The situation has exposed many families to hunger and starvation. This has been the case too for livestock which is the main source of income for the pastoralist communities in the county. The situation has worsened with a number of deaths (human) being reported from Samburu East and Samburu North sub-counties.
The most affected villages are concentrated in Samburu East and Samburu North sub-counties mostly Nachola, El barta, Ndoto, Suguta Mar Mar, Wamba East, Uaso, Baawa , Wamba North, Wamba East wards and the borders between Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo, Turkana and Baringo counties.  
The county government, through the department of special programmes and other stakeholders including Caritas Maralal, have since employed a number of interventions especially food drives targeting the most vulnerable households, but the situation is worsening as a result of the drought and insecurity arising from the same.  The situation has forced pastoralists from the entire county to migrate with their livestock to neighbouring counties, especially Laikipia county, in search of water and pasture. The migration has consequently brought about tribal clashes with a number of people losing their lives from the clashes. 
Vulnerable groups in these communities, such as women, children, elderly and young Morans who take care of livestock and households have since been weakened due to lack of food and water among other basic services. 
The project will target the most vulnerable households (250 HHs) in Terter and Keleswa villages of Samburu North sub-county with relief food
Marsabit Integrated Food Security and Resilience Project In this project the Catholic Diocese of Marsabit aims to enhance food security and resilience for poor and vulnerable communities in Hula hula, Jaldesa and Bubisa locations in Marsabit county. It seeks to provide about 6000 men and women with: 
- improved income from higher crop and livestock production, achieved through training and the provision of relevant inputs;
- improved access to potable water through the construction and rehabilitation of water facilities,  training in safe hygiene and sanitation practices, and the establishment of water management committees;
- training and support for disaster preparedness and sustainable management of natural resources;
- reduced inter-community conflict, through measures to improve inter-faith and inter-community dialogue;
- identification of appropriate advocacy strategies, and training in advocacy and lobbying activities.

The project will seek to collaborate with the private sector and relevant government institutions at both at the county and national levels.

3.	Conduct Social Media and internet awareness campaigns through the national office and diocesan websites, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube
4.	Conduct awareness campaigns using Posters, Murals and Graffiti.
The project targets mainly informal settlements in Nairobi and Kisumu Counties. Specifically, the project targets the following;
•	Approximately 600,000 Nairobi and Kisumu slums population
•	15 Dioceses
•	Commissions/departments staff at KCCB
•	KCCB Diocesan Coordinators 
•	Targeted parishes 
•	Marginalised communities 
•	General Kenya public
•	Youth
Livelihoods protection programme for HBC/PLWHA The aim of the livelihoods protection programme is aimed at promoting recovery from a protracted drought to enhance resilience of the affected communities through strengthening and diversification of their livelihood options. 

Rains in Kitui, Kyuso, Mutomo and Mwingi districts have failed miserably in 2008 and the government has declared the current drought a national disaster. The community requires food assistance to set them through the seven month June to December 2009 as a poor season is expected between April and June 2009.
Post Election Violence – Co-fund for admin costs This project will provide funding for the administration of two institutional donations to CAFOD’ post election violence program; a shelter component and a peace building.
Support Improved water access for 800 pastoral households in Noloroi and Tuale villages of Oldonyiro Lack of adequate access to clean water constitutes among key challenges facing the pastoral communities in Isiolo County with Noloroi and Tuale Villages in Oldonyiro Ward among the hardest hit. The livelihoods of the pastoralists without access, or with very limited access to water are vulnerable because they have difficulty in obtaining food, accumulating other assets, and recuperating after recurrent natural shocks such as drought.
The main goal of this project is to improve water access to 800 pastoral households and 4 institutions (4,000 individuals) in Noloroi and Tuale villages of Oldonyiro Ward, Isiolo County. 
Construction of sand dams and rainwater harvesting systems will increase access to water for domestic and livestock use. Moreover, the water sources will not only increase water availability in the midterm, but it will also promote the livelihood and household economy and create access to basics of life for the targeted as well as build the capacity of the pastoral communities to face shocks. 

Improved access to water will also contribute to reduced distance to water sources which will enable children to have adequate time to study and play instead of spending that time to look for water. Availability of water in schools will allow the children to have enough time for their education rather than go fetch water for the school.

Construction of sand dams and rainwater harvesting systems will provide the long-term answers to the problem of water scarcity. Sand dams are environmentally friendly and provides reliable water within reach by the local people and will also improve water access to livestock. Sand dam has low maintenance cost. Roof catchment in Noloroi and Tuale schools will offer possibilities of collecting rainwater to supplement water collected from the sand dams. Rainwater will be used for drinking and cooking.
Pilot Cross border initiatives (NRM and peace) for communities along the Ethiopia and Kenya border This project sees to contribute to increased resilience and reduced vulnerability in targeted communities across the border between Kenya and Ethiopia. This will be achieved through improved systems and practices for disaster preparedness and natural resource management for cross-border communities. Secondly CAFOD, CST, CIFA and Caritas Marsabit will partner with F&S from Ethiopia on Livestock market research component of the project. This component will focus on identification and implementation of economic opportunities for cross-border communities using Value Chain and Livelihoods Analysis and lastly support
