Emergency drought response to emergency health needs in Baghis; in complement to CHF 2018 2nd allocation Through the implementing partner, National NGO AYSO in Badghis, ACF will implement integrated emergency healthcare through mobile health teams (MHTs) including mobile psychosocial support. To broaden the scope of reach, avoid duplication and capitalize on ACF’s current learning on both application to and implementation of CHF, (now AHF),  MHTs in Badghis will be implemented by current partner AYSO (already working in Badghis) and will (in addition to doctor, screener, midwife and PSS officer already covered under CHF 2nd allocation), include 1 Nurse per to deliver IMNCI, and 1 vaccinator to support vaccination. It is necessary to integrate the IMNCI for prevention of recurring pathologies in Nutrition (triggering or complicating cases of malnutrition) response, however, as health response it is also a clear health activity to respond to the diarrhea and respiratory infections that have increased. ACF’s holistic integrated MHT model, now well established with a strong evidence base, shows the integration of IMNCI, ANC, PNC, PSS and vaccination supports the best response for the individual early development needs in the most vulnerable and hard to reach areas. This model reduces burden on the beneficiary by delivering in real time a comprehensive package of support, mitigating any delays, which can rapidly take childhood illnesses such as pneumonia and diarrhea. By identifying specific vulnerabilities and providing physical rehabilitation and psychological support services to these vulnerable groups the action will reduce their vulnerability and will mitigate the impact of the drought by facilitating access to lifesaving services, improving functional capacities and independence, strengthening positive coping mechanisms, promoting wellbeing, and reducing the chances of psychological distress. 
Overall, this project is in strong compliment to the recent CHF funded drought response allocation to ACF for Nutrition and Protection (start date September 2018), for the overall reduction of rates of mortality and morbidity in most vulnerable populations as a result of the drought in priority districts. ACF will implement comprehensive partnerships and security access plans (see sections below), in coordination with a surveillance plan on nutritional, health and psychosocial needs to circulate findings to all Health stakeholders.
Responding to displacement-induced needs of women and men, boys and girls in four hard to reach Districts in Ghazni province through emergency Shelter Upgrade Kits and Non Food Item (NFI) distribution. The proposed project will address the spike in needs caused by shock-induced displacement in Ghazni province, a part of Afghanistan that is often overlooked due to restricted access. Ghazni has historically been one of the more volatile provinces in the country and has witnessed a  decrease in security over the past year, causing the number of internally displaced people (IDPs) currently living in Gelan, Ghazni, Qarabagh and Muqur districts in particular to increase rapidly. In addition to the trauma of displacement, needs in these areas are further compounded by three main factors: shock-induced poverty (that adds to precarious economic situations pre-shock) limited availability of resources and a lack of services in the area of destination. Recent multi-sectoral assessments conducted by RI (Annexes 1-3) have highlighted ACCESS TO SHELTER AND NON FOOD ITEMS (NFIs) as key priorities, along with health, WASH and protection. Shelter and NFIs are almost entirely overlooked by humanitarian actors in the target areas, despite the urgent need amidst the winter and upcoming rainy season. The proposed project therefore aims to provide life-saving interventions by targeting 710 households (4970 indiviuals) identified as the most vulnerable and in need of immediate humanitarian assistance. Within this caseload, we estimate that 539 households (3773 indivuduals) will require shelter upgrade kits, and 171 households (1197 individuals) will require NFIs. To ensure beneficiaries are able to upgrade their shelter effectively, RI will deliver training on how to use the kits upon receipt. 
By delivering these services, RI’s project will contribute towards strategic priorities identified by the ESNFI Cluster, OCHA and the Government of Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GoIRA). These include i) responding to immediate humanitarian needs of shock affected populations ii) reducing protracted displacement-induced vulnerabilities and iii) improving conditions for conflict and displacement affected communities in hard to reach areas. In this way, the project responds directly to the ESNFI Cluster Objective to ensure coordinated and timely ES/NFI response to families affected by natural disaster and armed conflict. It also responds to the following two objectives:
SO 1:  Save lives in the areas of highest need
SO 3:  People struck by sudden onset crises get the help they need, on time
Project design and implementation has been informed by: multi-sector needs assessments (February and August 2017) in depth sector assessments in Shelter/NFIs, GBV and Health, conducted in December 2017 and a multisector assessment conducted in December 2017 in the target area, to ensure maximum relevance and accuracy. Beneficiary selection will be determined using a HEAT form.
Provision of emergency life saving emergency WASH and protection services to severely drought-affected families in Ghor Province Using a multi-sector approach the project targets severely drought-affected populations. The project entails 2 components including 1. WASH assistance and 2. protection assistance in Dawlatyar, Lal Wa Sarjangal and Tolak districts of Ghor province. The project is based on rigorous needs assessments performed directly by CRDSA technical teams (in coordination with provincial ANDMAs and DRRD) and FAO's Rapid Assessment of the 2018 Winter Dry Spell in Afghanistan (April 2018), iMMAP amp FEWSNET (April 2018) and updates from the Early Warning Information Group (May 2018). 
In the component 1.emergency WASH assistance will provide safe drinking water and hygiene promotion sessions to 31500 people (4500 drought affected families - 7875 men, 5985 women, 9135 boys and 8505 girls) in Ghor province in Dawlatyar district (1800 families [12600 people] in Pitab Shiba, Til Bi Nazar, Loka Mazar, Ganda Ab, Garayha, Shar Shar Ulia, and Tilak Dah marda villages), Lal Wa Sarjangal district (1280 families [8960 people] in Kansalto Kerman, barsh tugak, Chal Payan, Nazeran Dahan now Ghaiagh, Deh Pitab, and Kola Shafabig villages) and Tolak district of Ghor province (1500 families [10500 people] in Sar Chahar Ra, Jawaja, Droodi, Kabootarkhana, Khaje Sin, and Ghar Mana villages). In all of the three targets districts safe drinking water will be provided through constructing 60 hand-dug water wells (20 wells in Dawlatyar district, 20 wells in Lal Wa Sarjangal and 20 wells in Tolak district). In addition, 2 water piped schemes will be repaired in Dawlatyar district. Additionally, hygiene promotion sessions will be provided to 9000 individuals (2 individuals from each 0f 4500 target families). Of these, each of 500 IDP families will also receive one hygiene kit.
In component 2. Protection assistance consists of two sub-components namely GBV prevention/response and child protection which will be implemented in the same target areas of WASH component. The GBV prevention and response will focus on provision of awareness regarding GBV and its prevention to 9000 individuals (male and female), and identification of 340 GBV survivors and providing case management services (psychosocial counselling and referral to specialized health, legal and safety services) to them. The child protection sub-component will provides positive parenthood skills awareness raising for 9000 parents, and providing child-friendly spaces to 1000 children to minimize the effects of the emergency on their psychosocial well-being and development.

Accelerating construction of energy efficient green housing units in Thailand The objective of the proposed project is to accelerate the process of establishing a labelling scheme for low rise homes in the short term and show case benefits of energy efficient buildings to â€œbuild energy efficient green homes and address the greenhouse emission reduction goal of Thailand and enhance the comfort and living space for low and middle income populations living in low rise housing unitsâ€. Note: Disbursement data provided is cumulative and covers disbursement made by the project Agency. The proposed project aims to provide socioeconomic benefits at the national and local level. Enabling access to high quality housing units with sustainable communities for low- and middle-income households will improve quality of life. EE green homes improve living comfort and environment and provide long term reduction of energy cost to households which help lessen household expenditure and thus better financial conditions. Reduction of electricity consumption contributes to lower energy and power demand from power plants, hence lower air pollution. This leads to improvements in health benefits for the entire population. By the end of the project, more than 43,126 EE green homes will be constructed to benefit low- and middle-income households. It is estimated that utilization of these EE green home will deliver cumulative electricity savings of 5,708 MWh and reduce GHG emission of about 2,854 tCO2.    EE green home standards and labelling promoted by the project will increase demand of EE and green construction materials/technologies which will support local manufacturers and businesses leading to better employment prospects and eventually improved local economy. The capacity building and training program will enhance capacities and skills of people, specifically women, employed in the building construction sector. The project aims to put in dedicated efforts to strengthen and enhance equal participation from women and men in the technical design and implementation of EE green designs and labelling for low-rise residential building through capacity development trainings. Gender integration will be equally pronounced in key decision-making processes during project implementation. It is envisioned that the project will stimulate at least 10% increase in the number of male and female building designers employed by government and private sector. Moreover, environmentally sound management of hazardous wastes from discarded and end-of-life lighting products and home appliances will significantly reduce the risk of mercury contamination and other hazardous substances for all citizens as well as global warming potential from refrigerant gasses.

Solar Mills: from R&D to commercialisation This project has: 1) produced the world’s most efficient, smart and affordable small milling machine ever developed, and 2) seen a proof-of-concept roll-out that overwhelmingly demonstrates strong customer demand and high levels of customer satisfaction. 

This is the first time a viable solar milling solution has been commercially sold at any relative scale in the market. Until now diesel mills have been the only mechanised option for small holder farmers, but the results of this project herald a new era for off-grid milling and the days of the diesel mill are numbered. 

The Agsol MicroMill v2 designed under this project is a revolutionary product that is poised to change how half a billion people in rural Sub-Saharan Africa process their essential staple foods. The MicroMill is not an incremental improvement on current technology, it represents a complete step change.

The core features of the MicroMill that were developed under this project and make it so special are three entirely custom or industry first innovations. These include:
1)	Custom designed and build brushless DC (BLDC) motor. The case for direct drive and super efficient milling is so unique there is not a suitable motor on the market. It has to be DC (for solar), water/dust proof, very high speed for efficient milling, and accommodate very high vibration.
2)	Custom designed BLDC motor driver, power electronics, and governing firmware that ensures the machine is operating at peak performance and always protected.
3)	Industry first passive and closed loop feed regulating mechanism that maintains consistent power consumption across a wide range of milled products. From the user perspective, it means they can dump the grains in and the mill will automatically take care of everything else.
Agosl MicroMill: cost & product optimisation to eradicate diesel mills Within the PUE space, solar milling stands out as a crucial challenge to address. Currently in Africa, about 500 million people rely on outdated and polluting diesel mills, creating numerous issues, including women wasting time, food prices tied to fuel costs, contaminated food, male-dominated industry, and CO2 emissions.

Conversely, solar milling presents a complicated PUE technology to bring to market because margins are slim in staple food processing, and current technology is inefficient requiring large and expensive solar systems. The solution requires innovation across multiple engineering disciplines and business models.

Over four years, Agsol has worked to create the most efficient, smart, and affordable milling machine ever developed – the MicroMill – made possible with support from EforA. The MicroMill comprises a custom brushless DC motor, an industry-first automatic feed control system, smart power electronics, and other unique components brought together in a configuration that makes it over two times more efficient than any other small electric mill in its class. The MicroMill is not just an improvement on current technology, it is a complete step change.

In the latest collaboration with EforA, we developed the MicroMill v2, manufactured 100 units and deployed 85 to market. Results have been overwhelmingly positive and have encouraged Agsol to commercialise the MicroMill v2. Presently, we are establishing a manufacturing facility in China and moving on a 500 unit production run. By 2027 our goal is to sell 50,000 an, positively impacting over 10 million lives.

The project has two primary R&D activities that will directly support our near term ambitions of preparing for mass manufacturing. These are related to cost reduction and feature enhancement

Cost reduction is Agsol’s primary goal for the MicroMill in the period ahead. For our current version 2 (v2) series that we are going to market with, the opportunity for cost reduction primarily relates to identifying, procuring and testing new peripheral components, specifically the AC-DC power adapter and the battery. Other cost reduction opportunities also exist for the MicroMill, including custom milling chamber, design optimisation and board optimisation, however, these are outside the scope of this project.

Feature enhancements will include advanced on-board analytics, on-board data logging, firmware development for paygo and increased interoperability, specifically with e-motorbikes.
