Integrated WASH and Protection assistance to the most vulnerable  displaced effected people in Mogadishu The project is designed to provide integrated CCCM, Shelter/NFI, Protection, amp WASH assistance to IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Mogadishu. This proposal is submitted by DRC in collaboration with NRC, where DRC will implement Protection and WASH activities while NRC will implement CCCM and Shelter activities in the same locations targeting the same beneficiaries in various IDP settlement of Mogadishu, particularly in Kaxda, Deynile and Dharkenley areas. The approach will be useful to create synergies enabling the concentration of services and expertise from both agencies, within the same location and same population leading to achieving a greater impact. A pre-teaming agreement has been uploaded/attached to this proposal with details on the approach and rationale of the collaboration.
In essence, the proposed project is designed to improve the living conditions of the drought and conflict affected population by providing protection-centered Integrated humanitarian response targeting 13,200 vulnerable IDPs in Mogadishu (2851 men,3089 women, 3485 boys and 3775 girls). The multi-cluster, multi-sector and multi-agency approach applied by DRC and NRC will lead to improved assistance as different sectors and actors will be able to share critical information and inform immediate response.
The intervention will support the targeted communities holistically and efficiently by providing well-tailored and packaged responses in order to cater the different needs. The WASH will ensure that vulnerable HHs in the IDPs have access to safe and sustained clean water and sanitation facilities and are able to practice good hygiene promotion in order to reduce outbreaks. Key activities include drilling of new borehole, rehabilitation of three strategic water sources, fabrication of portable water storage tanks, capacity building of the water committees on operation and maintenance, water quality monitoring, Installation of new and/or rehabilitation of sanitation facilities through construction of desludgible latrines, and provision of sanitation kits to maintain and desludge the latrines. Hygiene promotion campaigns will be convened targeting whole beneficiaries while focusing on hand washing with soap and hygiene kits distribution, including female specific hygiene items (sanitary clothes, etc.) The protection activities will enhance community based protection mechanisms through establishing community protection committees, documenting and monitoring of protection concerns as well providing timely, safe protection responses to displaced people. The proposed activities include GBV response through provision of medical and material assistance, lighting, and training, as well as protection monitoring and response. Child mobilization / basic community psycho social support activities will be undertaken to improve child well-being based on a mobile outreach modality – i.e. regular visits to targeted sites each week, with involvement of parents / volunteers where feasible to promote sustainability of initiatives.  Basic life skill training and campaigns will be conducted targeting GBV survivors through recruiting male and female community animators / mobilisers. Under this project DRC will train protection partners in the project targeted areas on Psychological First Aid and principled referrals. 
Finally, DRC will support the protection cluster on protection information management. To this end, DRC will recruit an information management specialist to support the roll out of the Somalia Protection Monitoring System, coordinated by the Protection Cluster. The specialist will be involved in the management of respective data/information collection plans and systems for the System.
