Envelope 2: Integrated response in providing lifesaving Protection, Food and Non-Food Items (NFI) to vulnerable, conflict affected individuals with a focus on IDPs, returnees and vulnerable host community families in Khamir and Huth districts in Amran governorate This project is under envelope 2 of the second standard allocation which aims at targeting a total of 14,000 beneficiaries and 2000 households in IDP collective centres and spontaneous settlements and in vulnerable host communities and returnees in Huth and Khamir districts of Amran governorate. The project is proposing to implement Female Friendly Spaces (FFS) in IDP camps in the targeted districts, for a period of 10 months, integrating the provision of food baskets, through food vouchers, and distribution of NFIs as part of the intervention. The project will target these districts in Amran as priority districts under envelope 2 of the allocation and as an intervention that has been coordinated with Protection, FSAC and the CCCM, Shelter and NFI national clusters and sub-clusters, as well as with corresponding stakeholders. 

The intervention package under the proposed project aims at providing Psychosocial Support (PSS) and referrals for SGBV  and  for GBV survivors victims in the targeted locations, while ensuring mitigation measures to tackle immediate and underlying causes of food insecurity and malnutrition, as well as providing cash for minimum winter item support in the targeted locations using fundamental approaches to bridge the gap of assistance in the respective areas of intervention.
