Scabies prevention and control in drought affected woredas of Amhara Regional state: Mekete and Tach gaint woredas Based on the rapid needs assessment conducted by International Medical Corps in October 2015, access to safe water, household food security, and maternal and child malnutrition have deteriorated in the two woredas of Amhara Region namely: Tach Gaint, and Meket. There is a continuous increase in the rates of deteriorating health conditions throughout the entire community. The low land kebeles of Tach Gayint and Meket woredas are affected by water shortage, and low health facilities support to the current epidemics on skin diseases. As result various contagious disease outbreaks were reported in both woredas. The rapid assessment, and the woreda health offices also officially revealed the outbreak of Scabies disease in Tach Gaint and Meket Woreda and the need for urgent response
As per the woreda health office, a total of 25, 555 and 14,000 individuals are affected by scabies in Tach gaint and Meket woreda respectively. United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) in collaboration with the government health sector offices are working on mass scabies treatment in both woredas. International Medical corps will provide support on the existing identified gaps including on prevention, awareness creation on scabies disease, capacity building for health staff, and surveillance.
Nutrition Intervention through Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) at Fentale district, East Shewa Zone of Oromia Regional State According to the DRMCC/ENCU new Hot spot classification criteria, Fentale woreda is categorized as Hot Spot priority one for two consecutive years (December/2015 amp March/2016). Responding to the need, ChildFund Ethiopia has been implementing CMAM project however, despite the achievement of the phase one project the need on the ground is still significant due to the failure of meher rain and the delay of current belg rain.  Therefore, to continue to respond for the food insecurity situation, malnutrition among children, PLW and elderly, shortage of livestock feeds which have been aggravated beginning from the meher season (December 2015), ChildFund Ethiopia proposes this follow on CMAM project in Fentale district the CMAM project staffs are on the ground by internal support who have the required experience and expertise as well as the institutional capacity to effectively monitor and support implementation of the project. 
The project targets female and male children less than five years affected by severe acute malnutrition as well as pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Gender balance will be considered when recruiting staff for the project implementation, most technical support for Therapeutic Food Program will be directed by Health Extension Workers who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. The project will be ensured that the process of beneficiary selection, the selection of safe distribution points and time to ensure zero security threat to women and children due to delays in service provision will be done with active participation and engagement of women. They will play active role in community mobilization and awareness creation in nutrition intervention and in ensuring sustainability. It will contribute to gender equality in treating both male and female malnourished children under the age of five without discrimination. All data on beneficiary screening and SAM and MAM intervention, community mobilization, sensitization and distribution of supplies and provision of services will be gender dis-aggregated in order to attest gender equity while managing the project interventions.
Emergency Seed Support Project For Disaster Affected Smallholders At seven Districts in Amhara Regional State. With an overall objective to  “Protect threatened livelihoods of disaster affected, nutritionally vulnerable households through a meher seed provision intervention, and by reducing the need for emergency assistance in the future,” Food for the Hungry Ethiopia is proposing to implement a an Emergency Seed Support Project for Disaster Affected Smallholders at Abergele, Gaz Gibla, Ziquala from Wag Humra zone and Simada, Ebinat, Tach Gaint, and Lay Gaint districts South Gondar Zone in Amhara  regional state. The project is expected to address two interconnected sectors, namely: Early Recovery, and Food Security targeting a total of 59,320HHs that have been affected by multiple disasters occurring in 2014 and 2015. FHE will provide the seeds to four of the seven districts in partnership with a local NGO named ORDA(Organization for Rehabilitation amp Development in Amhara) and though its project offices in the remaining three districts where there are currently other food security program undergoing. Both ORDA and FHE will be using existing project offices, and existing project facilities by charging a proportional amount to this project operations. 
This proposed project will  complement an ongoing emergency and long term programs implemented by humanitarian partners to maintaining those gains already obtained from the interventions and preventing further deterioration as a result of broken livelihoods. 
The total budget proposed for this project is 1,088,429.89$.
Emergency Meher seed provision for drought affected populations of SNNP Oromia Tigray and Amhara Region The 2015 El Niño episode has had a major impact on the agriculture sector performance with two consecutive crop failures and crop production having decreased by 50/90%. Access to seed continues to be a major problem in particular for the most vulnerable members of the community. The two main planting seasons in Ethiopia are the Belg and the Meher. According to OCHA’s February Humanitarian Bulletin, only 30% of households have been assisted with seeds for the Belg planting season. The next planting season is the Meher which accounts for more than 80% of the crop production in the country. Should this planting season also be missed due to lack of seeds the consequences will prove disastrous.

Considering this, the community leaders and the regional authorities are demanding external assistance for seed provision to save the life and protect livelihoods of the people. It is crucial to address the seed shortage problem in order to allow the farmers to recover from the two consecutive crop failures and avoid further depletion of the assets as a coping mechanism by the most vulnerable members of the community. A serious deterioration of the situation, including risk of extreme food insecurity, cannot be excluded if farmers fail to take advantage of the forthcoming Meher production.

Through this action GOAL aims to support a total of 31,500 households 

- Oromia Region: Siraro, West Arsi Zone 
- Tigray Region: Afherom, Central Zone: Hawzen, Eastern Zone
- Amhara Region: Beheret, North Showa Zone Borena, Oromia Zone Sayint, Dawe Harewa, South Wollo Zone


The seeds being provided have been selected by the Woreda Agricultural office and the request was sent to the GOAL office in the form of a letter. The seeds requested for this action are Barley 46.9Mt, Chickpea 93.8MT Haricot Bean 180MT Sorghum 41.3MT Teff 146.3 MT and Wheat 293.8T
Meher Seed Recovery Project in drought affected Woredas of South Wollo Zone The present project proposal is Seed Recovery intervention and submitted by a cluster comprised of multiple organizations led by FAO. 
The overall objective of the Project is to improve food security in three Meher growing woredas of Argoba, Borena and Sayint in South Wollo zone in Amhara Region. , where food insecurity is already a serious problem as a result of the erratic Kiremt / Meher rains. The specific objective of the project is emanated from the overall objective and expected to provide seed and increase household food production in 177,235  vulnerable smallholder farmer, reaching 39,063 direct beneficiaries who do not have access to adequate seed and have limited purchasing power to procure seeds. This specific objective is aimed to achieve the outcome of food security of 7,812 drought affected households improved through seed recovery intervention. This means by the end of project period 8517 hectares of land owned by 7,812 farming households planted with seed supplied from the project.
GAA\ ORDA shared kebeles in two woredas Borena and Sayint with Goal Ethiopia. This will bring an opportunity for cross fertilization of experiences and enhance to reinforce among projects. Each NOGs are expected to prepare a separate proposal. All agencies will share one logical framework however, each agency would like their own agreement with HRF and will be responsible for their own financial management and follow up of project implementation and monitoring activities.
Then beneficiaries’ selection made based on the agreement reached with Goal Ethiopia through the approach of equal division of kebeles. Thus GAA\ORDA took 50% of Borean, Sayint and 100% of Argoba drought affected households. In line with this, the region reviewed its gaps based on the verification assessment outputs. In the crop subsector, the drought victims need replacement seeds to sow in the upcoming meher season. Efforts have been made to fill parts of the needs by the region and NGOs. However, still there are critical gaps to be addressed. This project is designed to address those critical needs through provision of seeds.
To track the progress of the project and draw lessons, GAA\ORDA will develop a joint monitoring plan based on the measurable indicators stated in the proposal. The plan will define tools to be used to conduct monitoring, responsible people in the monitoring process, and the frequency and definition of data collection. The monitoring plan will inform and guide project stakeholders to conduct routine monitoring and reporting responsibilities. Based on the cooperative agreement, GAA will report on their respective activities and submit narrative and financial report to HRF/UNOCHA.
Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) Prevention and Control Support in Oromia (Shahemene and Boset Woredas) and Tigray (Mekele town) Regions Poor social and economic environment, unsafe living conditions associated with insufficient access to safe water supply, inappropriate and poor sanitation and hygiene practices, inadequate food safety – including cultural influences on food preparation and storage at home, poor food safety during preparation and storage, inadequate/lack of food safety in markets and restaurants and by street vendors are key aggravating factors of Acute Watery diarrhea (AWD). Reported cases of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) increased since mid-June 2016 as a result of poor hygiene and sanitation practices. Initially reported in Oromia, Somali and SNNP regions, cases were later reported in Addis Ababa on 9 June 2016.  The HRD further indicates that there is a high risk that AWD can spread to all the regions with high speed as there is frequent population movement between Addis Ababa and other regions. 
The overall objective of this project is to support the Government led response to the nationwide outbreak of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) in Oromia and Tigray Regions. The WASH and Health clusters identified key support areas, such as providing water treatment chemicals, NFIs along with hygiene and sanitation promotion activities. This response to AWD will improve access to safe drinking water, improved hygiene and sanitation practices and reduce morbidity and mortality among the vulnerable communities. The targeted project interventions included: Strengthening Surveillance capacity of government health institutions, provision of DDK Kits and water treatment chemicals, Provision of NFIs. Additionally, Hygiene and sanitation promotion and 
 The project will be implemented for six months Tigray (mekele town) and Oromia (shahemene and Boset) regions. The project will directly benefit 818,520 people of the Woreda. This project prioritizes those most vulnerable groups of people, especially children with high degree of vulnerability as primary beneficiaries. In addition, the project is designed to integrate gender throughout the interventions. The project considers the integration of other projects such as quality education for boys and girls, improving household food security, improving health and nutrition status and improved care and participation of children.
Emergency Nutrition Response to Affected Population of Bale Zone Erratic rainfall resulting in major crop losses due to El Niño, is once again resulting in high levels of food insecurity and malnutrition. Further to the hotspot classification having been released in December 2015, in comparison to the August 2015 hotspot classification, it shows a rise in the percentage of hotspot priority 1 (from 34% to 43%) while there has been a decrease in priority 2 (46% to 36%) in December 2015. Looking at the 10% decrease in priority 2 and 9% increase in priority 1 it is clear that many woredas have shifted from priority 2 to priority 1 between August and December, 2015. Most of the hotspot woredas (28.3%) are located in the Oromia region, the region this intervention intends to target. The targeted woredas for this action were identified further to consultation with the ENCU, the most evident gap being in Bale Zone of Oromia Region. Through USAID/OFDA funding, GOAL has facilitated a CMAM program since 2005, aimed at increasing the capacity of local government and community structures to prevent, mitigate, and respond to the impacts of malnutrition across targeted woredas in Ethiopia. CMAM supports a system that treats malnutrition but also raises awareness of service availability which brings children timely treatment before further complications and therefore reduces mortality. This reflects the high recovery rate (97.6%) achieved to date in the GOAL nutrition assisted programmes.  

This intervention will implement CMAM in 9 woredas of Bale Zone in Oromia Region. Specifically in the following woredas Agarfa, Berbere, Dawe Sere, Dolo Mena, Dinsho, Gasera, Giner, Harena Bulukk, Medea and Wolabu. Through this grant GOAL will implement 4 components of CMAM: Outpatient Therapeutic Programme, Stabilization Centres, Community Mobilization, and Training of Health Extension Workers and Health Workers (1,260) on the management of acute malnutrition and training on Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF). A total of 900 Health Development Army will be trained on community mobilization. In addition Targeted Supplementary Feeding for children under five and pregnant and lactating women based on the most recent screening will be provided to a total of 12,548 beneficiaries. “In early 2016 GOAL Ethiopia conducted an international tender for CSB and Oil with a view to shortlisting/prequalifying potential suppliers. GOAL will request quotes from this supplier list based on the grant requirement”.Through this grant GOAL will establish 172 OTP, and 34 Stabilization centers providing a service to approximately 2,374 Severely Acutely Malnourished children under five. A baseline and end line survey will also be implemented through this action.

OTP will be established as follows
Agarfa 28, Berbere 17, Dawe Sere 18, Dolo Mena 15, Dinsho  10, Gasea 18,  Giner 27, Harena Buluklu 17 Medea  Wolabu 22

SC will be established as follows
Agarfa 4, Berbere 4, Dawe Sere 4, Dolo Mena 4, Dinsho 3, Gasea 3, Giner 4, Harena Buluklu 4, Medea Wolabu 4
Emergency Water, Social Mobilization/Hygiene promotion and Capacity Building Interventions for Acute Watery Diarrhoea-Affected Populations in 5 woredas of Southern Nations, Nationalities, and People’s Region (SNNPR) and Oromiya As emergency response to AWD outbreak, ACF plans to distribute in 5 woredas    49,941 strips of Aqua-tab household water treatment chemical (for 3 months), water container (5,549 Jericans and 5549 buckets), and   22,196  soaps for four months to  5,549 households. In addition the response will reach 219,402 beneficiaries (One fifth of the populations of the total of 5 woredas) through AWD focused hygiene and sanitation promotion messages and campaigns. For proper hygiene promotion it will give AWD response focused training for 200 health workers. ACF will also make capacity building of woredas to support the non- medical items for CTC (like tankers with 10,000 liters capacity, knapsack sprayers, drum of HTH chlorine and tents).
ACF has made discussion with other organizations like IRC, GOAL, PIE and CARE to avoid overlap in the project locations. Accordingly, it will implement the above mentioned activities in terms of WASH in 5 woredas of Sidama zone ( Loka Abaya) Hararge zone (Tulo, Girawa, Mesela) and  Borena zone (Moyale).
Emergency Seed Support Project The objective of this 6-month intervention is to protect and restore livelihoods that remain precarious due to limited access to seeds and other agricultural inputs in 2016. This submission is part of multi-agency coalition--facilitated by FAO--to address the needs of smallholding farmers in meher that have lost a significant percent of their harvest. WVE’s specific contribution to this coalition effort targets 10,462 households in 2 Woredas in which more than 40% of the population is drought affected and has lost either significant percentage of their livestock or their forecasted crop production in 2015. An estimated 30% of the beneficiaries will be women-headed households. Please see table 1 for the specific break down of crops and households per Woreda.

Households and crops for this intervention were prioritized with significant input from the Woreda governments. Households in Oromiya (Jarso and Habro Woredas) will be addressed by WVE. 

WVE’s intervention is in line with the lifesaving criteria ‘Provision of inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and tools in emergency contexts to restore food security and production capacity’ by providing seed inputs for 10,462 households. It does not provide other inputs (ex. fertilizer or tools) per guidance from the Ethiopia agriculture cluster (Agriculture Task Force) in their revised road map (January 2016).
Integrated WASH support in response to the drought induced emergency in Aw-Bare, Gursum and T/Gulled Woredas of Fafan Zone Fafan Zone is one of the areas which are severely affected by drought as the result of the current El Nino phenomenon. This has resulted in irregularities in rainfall patterns, shortage of food and water and emergency nutrition situation. 
The 2015 Joint Inter – Agency Deyer needs assessment revealed that most of the woredas in Fafan have no well-planned preparedness and budget allocation for emergency response. The latrine and water supply coverage of the woredas in the zone were low and there were disease outbreaks in some woredas like kebribayah, Tuliguled and Gursum.  The top 5 causes of morbidity for under-5 years reported in the same period were pneumonia, diarrhoea, measles, malnutrition and upper respiratory tract Infections.
The overall objective of the project is to enhance the availability and utilization of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene services in Aw-Bare, Gursum and Tullliguled Woredas of Fafan Zone from April 11 to October  10, 2016. Hence, the project aims to address problems related to optimal hygiene and sanitation practices by raising the awareness of the community and creating an enabling environment. It will also enhance the availability of water by rehabilitation of the existing non-functional boreholes in the three woredas. The community's capacity to manage the water resources will be improved through establishment of 3 water and sanitation committee and training the established committee members. 
This project will be implemented with strong partnership with the local government line offices and the community. Coordination with other humanitarian actors will also be ensured through close collaboration, periodic discussions and brainstorming sessions.
Emergency WASH Response to IDPs and host community affected by drought in Sitti zone The El Nino event of 2015 is characterized by strange rainfall patterns, which lead to minimal rainfall in some parts of the country while flooding others with extraordinary amount of rain. In the Siti zone of the Somali region the El Nino exacerbated a protracted drought and led to the failure of three seasons’ rain which has caused internal human and livestock migrations, massive displacement, loss of livestock and livelihoods and tremendous suffering. In particular, the El Nino event and resultant drought has led to severe water shortage forcing humans to receive far less than recommended amount of water per person per day. NRC therefore developed this project to mitigate the immediate and long term effects of this drought through WASH and concomitant sanitation and hygiene interventions in Erer, Hadhagala and Afdem woredas of Siti zone. The project will comprise of:

1.	Drilling of a new borehole complete with electro mechanical (generator, pump etc.) set and on-spot construction including (2) water points, (2) animal troughs and (2) elevated tanks. The site of the new borehole will be consulted with local authority and partners as some progress is made between assessment and now.
2.	On-spot for an existing borehole drilled by Oromia water works in Asbuli, Erer which was capped upon completion and never utilized. The data and history of this borehole is at hand which will make it easier for action and completion. This activity will include (2) water points, (2) animal troughs and (2) elevated water tanks.
3.	Construction of five (5) new hand-dug wells in Erer, Afdem and Hadhagala woredas
4.	Moreover, NRC will construct (30) emergency communal latrines in the three woredas especially in IDP settlements. 
5.	Establishment/expansion of ten (10) institutional sanitation facilities with hand-wash basins in the affected areas 
6.	Establishment and training of (11) WASH committees and
7.	Conducting 10 mass sanitation and hygiene campaigns

In this intervention, NRC will generally target the drought affected community in Sitti zones. The target groups include IDP households and host communities, and special focus will be on women and children. NRC will work with zonal administration, regional water bureau (RWB), UNICEF and other partners to develop selection criteria to determine both areas of intervention and the most vulnerable among the target population. 48,000 (8,000 HHs) individuals are targeted to benefit from this intervention.

The proposal is a continuation of WASH activities that NRC is currently implementing in Siti zone and will complement it to cover more unreached IDPs and host community affected by the drought. NRC will build on experiences garnered from Dolo Ado refugee camp WASH intervention and recently completed WASH project in Fafan zone to ensure smooth delivery of a high quality intervention for the drought affected populations in Siti.
Protracted Relief and Recovery Operations 200712 - “Responding to Humanitarian Crises and Transitioning Food-Insecure Groups to More Resilient Strategies” WFP's three year operation contributes towards supporting the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) efforts to prevent food and nutrition crises through enhancing the resilience of vulnerable communities. The objectives of the Operation are to: (a) help emergency-affected households to reduce the impact of shocks by addressing their food needs (b) support the Productive Safety Net Programme households and communities in improving food security, resilience and recovery from disaster and (c) support food-insecure households in reducing or stabilizing moderate acute malnutrition among children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. 

WFP implements relief activities in collaborations with the Government's National Disaster Risk Management Coordinating Commission. Under PRRO 200712, moderate acute malnutrition will be addressed through the Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) programme in  "hot-spot" Woredas. WFP's Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) programme, designed and implemented in partnership by the National Disaster Risk Management Coordinating Commission (NDRMCC), Ministry of Health (MoH) UNICEF and NGOs treats moderately malnourished children 6-59 months and pregnant and lactating women
