RDDP Rwanda Dairy Development Program Developing financial products is an assignment that requires a number of steps. To create an impact and allow for testing, ICCO-CORDAID advises to start with 14 SACCOS in the selected districts and 1 Microfinance Institution as a pilot. Thereafter but before the end of 2022, we should scale-up to the other SACCOs.  

The SACCOs differ in operations and functioning in terms of governance, liquidity and understanding of credit risk.  The automation of SACCOs is still at a low level. To develop a product that is adapted to these conditions and have staff that understands this product, we organise different trainings. Also, the Umurenge SACCOs will be amalgamated at district level in 2022 and 23. We expect that this restructuring will ease some of the work if we plan to start with the restructured ones.  

MFIs have better capacituy. The market assessment process will focus on the selected districts but the rest of the steps are done at the head office (Kigali) Once the MFI approves the new loan product, it will be used within all its branches so reaching clients in different districts.

Resilience Business Development (RBDS) Program Ethiopia 2017 In countries in transition, such as  Ethiopia, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are important contributors to economic growth and job creation, especially in the agricultural, commercial and light manufacturing sectors. However, these SMEs face many external and internal constraints, such as weak financial and internal management capacity, poor market linkages, poor Business Development Services (BDS), and inadequate access to finance. As a result, many SMEs fail to grow. Transitional economies are characterized by this ‘missing middle’ of stable, mid-sized companies. These SMEs are too big to access capital from micro-finance institutions and too small to qualify for investments from commercial banks, and therefore stuck at a level where they remain vulnerable and unable to fulfill their potential as drivers of the local economy. Drawing on Cordaid’s long experience working in fragile and conflict-prone areas, the program will deal specifically with the unique challenges facing SMEs in these countries. This holistic approach includes building links between SMEs and financial institutions, amongst others our own Stability Impact Fund Africa (SIFA).  The program also aims to strengthen the capacities of Business Service Providers. 20 SME’s in and around Addis Ababa
Addressing acute food insecurity in Pibor The changing dynamics of armed conflict and violence and pockets of violence in South Sudan between state and none state actors continue to challenge well-being of people and delivery of services to the community by government and humanitarian organizations. While there is hope for South Sudan’s Nationals to the long-awaited implementation of the Revitalized Peace Process promised to offer new opportunities in 2019, its implementation still hangs in balance. Moreover, the cumulative effects of years of conflict, violence and destroyed livelihoods have left more than 8.3 million people in dire need of some form of humanitarian assistance and protection (UN 2021). Compared to the current levels of violent conflict in South Sudan, Greater Jonglei state is significantly affected by both political and tribal conflicts. Apart from the national level conflicts, there are several inter- and intra-state and community level conflicts that require the attention of all development actors in South Sudan. Traditional practices have had negative impacts on the desired peaceful co-existence in the communities. In addition to these, causes of conflicts such as military recruitment arms proliferation and social fragmentation, there are natural calamities like floods and long dry spells that affect the agricultural cycles. 
Jonglei and Greater Administrative Area of Pibor is one of the states hardest hit by the crises, with currently 47% of the population in need of severity phase extreme or catastrophic (HNO 2021 people in need by severity phase, gender, age and disability). Torrential rains in 2020 led to severe flooding in large areas of South Sudan, and OCHA estimates that more than 900,000 people have been affected (Update #3, 5 November 2020). In Pibor County, Jonglei, the situation is the worst, with an unprecedented 319,000 persons affected (ICWG, 5 November 2020). The population, who are primarily dependent on small-scale farming, has seen their livelihoods been flushed away: granary stores are damaged, fields are destroyed and livestock have drowned in large numbers. Alarmingly, 53% of the flood-affected counties were already in IPC 3 (critical) or IPC 4 (emergency) before the floods hit these areas (IPC Acute Food Insecurity & Malnutrition Assessment distributed through WFP, August 2020). In Pibor, the flooding has affected people who were already very food insecure and using negative coping strategies to deal with the situation. In addition, intercommunal violence and cattle-raiding between the Lou Nuer and Murle communities has led to loss of lives and disrupted food assistance delivery to flood-affected populations in Gumuruk and Lekwangole payams and Pibor Town. To contribute to improved access to food and WASH of flood and conflict affected people in South Sudan. Total beneficiaries: 14,000 individuals in total (based on number of persons per household in Pibor; 7/HH)
Women: 3,920 
Children: 6,720 
Men: 1,680

Addressing basic needs of people affected by floods and violence in Jonglei South Sudan has been facing unprecedented multi-dimensional nature of crises for many years. In 2020, South Sudan has been severely affected by conflict (national, intra/inter communal in nature), food insecurity (famine and economic depletion), Public health crises (Cholera outbreak and emergency of covid-19 pandemic), bad governance (political crises with the governorates of the states) and natural disasters (flash floods)  This has been compounded with desert locust swarms and recent spike in commodity prices mid-2020. According to the World bank and National bureau of statistics the poverty levels of south Sudanese have increased from 51% to 82% between 2017 to 2019, and as of 2020, these figures may continue to increase. South Sudan is also ranked the most vulnerable country to Covid-19 in Africa and Food security is a major concern in the country
Heavy rainfall over July-August resulted in overflow of the White Nile and its tributaries, affecting some 800,000 people across 37 counties in South Sudan with 368,000 people displaced to higher grounds in escape of the rising waters. Women and Children are the most affected. The number is likely to increase as further heavy rainfall is expected in the coming weeks. Jonglei, Upper Nile, Eastern Equatoria, and Warrap are the worst affected states. 980,000 people affected by flooding in 2019 also remain in need of aid. Restrictions related to COVID-19, together with increased insecurity in states like Jonglei, have been impeding affected populations' access to resources and relief. The Government of South Sudan has declared a state of emergency in Jonglei State and Pibor Administrative Area. To provide life-saving assistance to 54,000 people affected by floods in Jonglei – Pigi/Canal County with WASH, FSL and S/NFI intervention. Total beneficiaries: 54,000 individuals in total 
Women: 16,740
Children: 24,840
Men: 11,880
Elderly: 378
Disabled: 162

Explain how direct beneficiaries are selected or targeted:
In consultation and coordination with UNOCHA, RRC, and all the clusters, Cordaid will target the most vulnerable households. For beneficiary targeting the cluster standards will be used. Criteria for beneficiary selection include: 
•	Children
•	Women headed households
•	Child headed households
•	Elderly headed households and persons with specific needs (PSN) such as chronically ill, disabled people, PLW

Last Mile Project Phase II Cordaid has been strengthening the health system through PBF with the aim of improving the availability and accessibility of good quality healthcare at the primary and secondary levels in the Jimma zone since October 2019. While implementing the project, among the main challenges at public health facilities are the unavailability of medicines and medical supplies, and inefficiencies in the pharmaceutical supply system and health information system. Since I+ solutions have rich experience in pharmaceutical supply chain management and eLMIS, Cordaid has anchored with I+ solutions to strengthen the existing PBF project to mitigate the challenges through this last mile project. The overall goal of the project is to improve the availability of Essential medicines in the health centres in Jimma Zone, Oromia Regional State, between March 2022 and March 2023. An estimated 3,735,524 inhabitants from 122 health centers in the Jimma zone will directly and indirectly benefit by this project.
Strengthening the health system through PBF in Amhara Region In May 2015, Cordaid introduced PBF in the Ethiopian health sector, in the arid and pastoralist Borana 
zone of the Oromia Region, Ethiopia. The implementation of Phase-I from May 2015 to June 2018 and 
Phase II from July 2018 onwards in the Borana Zone has shown positive results and contributed to 
an increment in both the utilization and the quality of healthcare services. As a result of the positive 
effect, The Embassy of the Netherlands (EKN) in Ethiopia granted funding to scale up to other non-pastoralist areas of the Oromia Region, Jimma zone in April 2019, and Phase III in the Borana zone. From 
July 2021, the project covers 100% of the HFs in Jimma and Borana. After getting encouraging results 
from both the Jimma and Borana projects, the scale-up of the project was made to the Amhara region in 
North Achefer of North Gojjam zone, for a period of 17 months, from November 01, 2021, to March 31, 2023. After this, the project was extended up to September 30, 2023. This new 3-year project is a continuation of the previous Health System Strengthening through PBF project. Improved availability and accessibility of good quality healthcare at primary 
level in the North Achefer, North Gojjam Zone (Amhara Region, Ethiopia), and a 
stronger health system at large, which supports the progressive realization of Universal 
Health Coverage (SDG 3.8) in this geographical area. The project will directly and indirectly benefit a total of 271,635 population residing in around the 9 Health Facilities in North Achefer Woreda.
GBV prevention and response in Anbar & Salah-Ad-Din The project aims to increase the utilization of GBV prevention and protection services by women, girls, men and boys in the targeted areas and enhance supportive attitude by all community members for prevention of GBV through availability of quality comprehensive GBV services; increased awareness and knowledge among women, girls, men and boys. 
Main Activities: GBV case management, integrated MHPSS service provision (including Adolescent Girls program), community mobilization, capacity building. Promoting gender equality and addressing GBV and harmful practices through service provision, knowledge management, policy advocacy and capacity development women ,men,boys,girls
Displacement due to conflict On 09 December 2022 an Interagency Rapid Assessment needs was conducted to Conflict affected Displaced people in
Kodok Town, the assessment was led by OCHA. The team arrived Kodok at around 11:00 am and split into two teams.
One team conducted a humanitarian assessment for IDPs located new UNMISS COB while the other team went to Kodok
town. IDPs are mainly concentrated in two locations: Kodok town and beside the UNMISS COB. Others are scattered
under trees or have occupied government buildings. Many IDPs moved near UNMISS COB seeking protection. Several
meetings were conducted with the Commissioner, RRC Coordinator, Head of Security in Upper Nile, Minister of Youth
(also acting Minister of Gender), Minister of Economy, Police generals. The situation was calm, the team did not hear
any shelling activities in the area. The team observed barracks dedicated for SSPDF forces newly deployed in the area.
The team was told that SSPDF and Agwelek forces are located around Kodok to deter any attack. In the meeting with the
County Commissioner and RRC, both claimed the total number of conflict displaced population displaced to Kodok town
is between 40,000 to 42,000 people, and further reported that the total population of Fashoda County is about 95,000
people. They also reported that the White Army elements have been pushed back from Fashoda areas of Oriny, Dubo,
Aywang-gen to Owachi in Payikan County.
There was an active movement between IDPS settlement near the COB and Kodok town. People pay 50 SSP one way to
reach the town using canoes. People rely heavily on the services provided in the town, including latrines and market.
Civilians have freedom of movement within the town and to areas far including Melut and Renk. Transportation fees to To provide life-saving  Health and WASH interventions to the displaced persons in Kodok. We will target the most vulnerable, displaced families who are displaced by the conflict and are sheltering IDP sites or outside, mainly under trees within host communities, or in open buildings. Specifically this will include displaced households with elderly, PLWs and children under 5, and people with specific needs.

Capacity Building for IRM Phase II The Philippines is the ninth most vulnerable country to the adverse effects of climate-related events based on its level of exposure to extreme climate-related events; the sensitivity of populations in terms of health, education, agriculture, dependence, and available infrastructure; and the capacity to adapt to the impacts of climate change. Under climate change scenarios, it is projected that the Philippines will be affected by an increase in extreme climate-related events, such as storms, flooding, and drought.

The main people vulnerable to these hazards are the Indigenous People (IP), urban poor and coastal, small-island and rural communities in the Philippines. The Indigenous People are among the poorest and most disadvantaged social group in the country with illiteracy, unemployment and incidences of poverty much higher among them than the rest of the population. Also, their capacity to bounce back and recover from the impact of hazards is significantly more limited than non-IP groups, partly because they live in remote areas without access to basic services which are characterized by a high incidence of morbidity, mortality and malnutrition. Coastal, small-island and rural communities in the Philippines are also vulnerable because under-lying poverty, environmental degradation and climate-induced hazards have a significant impact on the ability of especially poor farmers and fisher folk to bounce back in the event of disaster. Urban migration is increasing and with it brings massive social, economic and environmental problems to cities throughout the Philippines as informal settlers, the majority of whom have established themselves in the most marginalized areas which are predominately highly exposed to hazards.

Current hazards are likely to increase under changing climatic conditions; ecosystem degradation is exacerbating existing risks and creating new ones; and uncontrolled urbanization drives risks further. The Government of the Philippines has developed national policies, programs and allocated funding in response to COP, Sendai Framework on Disaster Reduction and the SDGs, yet locally response remains limited and fragmented. Long-term objective:

- Increased resilience of community groups – farmers, fisherfolk, women’s groups and urban poor - to cope with climate, environmental and social risks

Short-term objectives:

- Urban Resilience: Community driven urban resilience networks expanded across the drainage and coastal landscape in Mandaue City and replicated in Bulacan province
- IRM, Conflict Mitigation in Resource Management and Livelihoods: Enhance local adaptive capacities for ecosystem-based and diversified livelihoods amongst others through savings groups and access to local markets. The main focus is on water/soil/coastal ecosystem-based adaptive and alternative livelihoods capacities in coastal villages and islands The project mainly focuses on farmers, fisherfolk, women’s groups and the urban poor
Emergency Support Aleppo Field Kitchen Syria is entering its fifth year of conflict in 2015. Humanitarian needs have increased twelve fold since the 
beginning of the crisis, with 12.2 million in need of humanitarian assistance, including 7.6 million internally 
displaced persons and more than 5.6 million children in need of assistance. An estimated 4.5 million people are 
in need of humanitarian assistance in hard to reach areas and locations. Food security remains of the primary 
humanitarian needs among IDPs. 
The main constraints affecting food security in Syria, are both on the demand-side and supply-side. The primary 
constraint in accessing food across Syria is economic. With decreased income-generating opportunities and 
increasing prices, households are experiencing increasing difficulties in meeting basic food requirements. On 
the supply-side, inadequate levels of local food production are reported as one of the main issues affecting 
food availability. Lack of inputs, reduced availability of products on the market, and reduction in cross-border 
access all severely affect the supply-chain The overall objective of the project is that Lives of people affected by food insecurity caused by the Syrian crisis 
are saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained. 
The specific objective it to save the lives of people affected by food insecurity in Aleppo by providing daily hot 
meals. 6300 people affected by food insecurity caused by the Syrian crisis
Justice et paix durable pour les femmes, filles et jeunes La situation sécuritaire délicate dans l’est de la RDC est extrêmement complexe. La région porte en elle l'héritage dévastateur 
de la violence à la suite des conflits répétitifs des conflits qui ne cessent de s’y reproduire. La population reste en insécurité 
avec des mouvements réguliers, fuyant la guerre et les atrocités, rendant difficile l’accès des femmes et filles aux services 
sociaux de base de qualité avec un faible revenu dans leurs ménages. La province du Sud-Kivu, est l’une des provinces 
instables sur le plan sécuritaire, où la violence continue à affecter les communautés dont les femmes, et jeunes filles qui 
deviennent de plus en plus vulnérables. 
Depuis 2015, Cordaid et VNGI mettent en œuvre un programme dénommé CISPE suivi d’ESPER à partir de 2020 dans trois 
provinces dont le Sud-Kivu, le Nord-Kivu et l’Ituri. Ce projet a accompagné l’organisation d’un diagnostic sécuritaire participatif 
et inclusif dans les territoires de Kalehe, le territoire d’Uvira ainsi que la ville d’Uvira au Sud-Kivu, en vue d’identifier les grands 
problèmes sécuritaires de ces zones, les causes profondes, les solutions et les acteurs pouvant y contribuer.
Au cours de ce diagnostic, il a été souligné que les femmes et jeunes filles au niveau communautaire étaient confrontées à 
plusieurs problèmes sécuritaires et de développement dans leurs zones à la suite d’une mauvaise gouvernance et à l’absence 
de l’autorité de l’Etat. Il s’agit entre autres de la corruption, l’impunité, les violences sexuelles et basées sur le genre, le trafic 
d’influence, les abus de biens sociaux, des guerres à répétition avec la prolifération des groupes armés, les conflits 
interethniques et coutumiers, l’absence des actions communautaires impliquant les femmes et jeunes filles pour contribuer à 
la gestion des problèmes sécuritaires Contribuer au renforcement de l’accès à une justice équitable et une paix 
durable des femmes et jeunes filles par le truchement des organisations à base 
communautaire. Total bénéficiaire directe : 365 femmes et 135 Filles
