Peacebuilding Activities in Gedeo and West Guji Zones CRS and its partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC) will provide a comprehensive set of activities to enhance understanding of the root causes of the conflict in Gedeo and W. Guji, targeting populations affected by internal displacement due to civil conflict.  CRS and ECC will work with a wide range of stakeholders to facilitate dialog for a nonviolent path forward. 

Gedeo Zone, located in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) and Guji Zone, located in Oromia Region are currently affected by a complex and protracted humanitarian crisis stemming from civil unrest and ethnic tension. Further exasperated by an amplified frequency and duration of droughts, the increased violence along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji Zones in early June 2018 led to the displacement of over 860,056 people in the Gedeo Zone and 186,316 people in the West Guji Zone of Oromia Region. In August 2018, the government of Ethiopia started encouraging the return movement of IDPs to their homes many IDPs are coming back to destroyed shelters, loss of belongings, and damaged basic infrastructure. Given the complexity of the conflict, tensions continue to exist between the ethnically different host communities, returnees, and remaining IDPs. There are extensive protection concerns due to the abrupt return of IDPs to their areas of origin because there has been little dialog around the initial cause for the civil unrest and no peacebuilding or social cohesion and community reconciliation activities for the returnees.

The project will take place over the span of three months in four woredas composed of 30 kebeles (10,000 households total). In coordination with the UN, other non-government organizations, and government actors, CRS/ECC will work with all implementing partners to provide a sustainable response.  With a goal of enhancing protection through achieving a peaceful coexistence between Gedeo and Guji ethnic groups, CRS/ECC have identified three Strategic Objectives (SOs): 

SO1: Community peace structures are strengthened and engaged in peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts

SO2: Target communities are empowered with conflict management early warning and resolution practices skills 

SO3: Target communities have reinforced mutual acceptance and social cohesion
  
CRS will use private and complementary resources to initiate other peacebuilding activities, including community infrastructure rehabilitation to reduce pre-existing tensions between communities and returnees.
Addressing Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services through provision of emergency reproductive health kits for conflict induced internally displaced persons and returnees in Gedeo and West Guji zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions Recurrent drought has been affecting Ethiopia, mainly the southern and south-eastern parts, and has left millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. Based on Ethiopia’s 2018 Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), 7.88 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance. The total number of hot spot priority districts are 463, of which 216 are classified as hot spot priority one districts. Millions of people have been internally displaced due to the continued public unrest, ethnic based conflict and drought and flooding induced by climate change. The continued public unrest in different parts of the country mainly in Somali, SNNP and Oromia regions continues to result in the displacement of population in Ethiopia. As of July – August, 2018 IOM displacement tracking matrix (DTM) round 12 report, there are 2.88 million internally displaced persons in the country hosted in 1,415 sites. Of these, 931,802 IDPs was hosted in Oromia region in 542 IDP sites and 738,661 IDPs was hosted in SNNP region in 292 IDP sites. Based on this IOM round 12 report, there are 738,661 internally displaced persons hosted in 292 IDP sites in Gedeo zone of SNNP region that critically requires maternal and reproductive health services. In humanitarian situations women and girls do have unique health concerns, on sexual and reproductive health services and related life-threatening complications of pregnancy and childbirth attributable to malnutrition that must be addressed in internally displaced persons. In this project, UNFPA is planning to provide sexual and reproductive health and clinical management of rape survivor’s services for conflict induced IDPs in selected 6 woredas in West Guji and gedeo zones. 
Project Goal: To contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in selected IDP sites and surrounding affected host communities
Project Objective: To enhance availability of lifesaving reproductive health, maternal health and sexual violence services for IDPs and affected host communities.
Emergency WASH Response to Disaster affected population in Somali Region The immediate funding priorities released in August 2018 placed a great emphasis on life saving interventions for conflict affected communities while also focusing on preparedness and durable solutions. This is also based on Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) 2018 objectives.   This project directly links to this approach with the objective of reaching 77,247 individuals (13,486 Men, 15,434 Women, 247,26 Boys, 23,601 Girls) vulnerable displacement-affected populations in Somali region. 18,873 individuals will be in Dollo Ado woreda (DTM Site IDs-SO232,SO505,SO652,SO664), 25,142 in Deka Seftu woredas (SO274, SO277,SO279,SO612,SO654) both in Liben zone and the remaining 33,232 in Qoloji I IDP camp (SO258) in Babile woreda, Fafan zone. The main objective will be to ensure vulnerable displaced affected people have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services. This will not only provide access to humanitarian assistance but also contribute to durable solutions.
To achieve this objective, NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 6 months  apart from the water supply which will be done for 9 months with flexibility to adjust in case of returns to the areas of origin or new life threatening crises occurs. This will specifically be done through water systems rehabilitation, basic hygiene items  like soap, construction of communal latrines with hand washing facilities and promotion of adoption of positive hygiene practices. Filled up communal latrines will be desludged or decommissioned depending on the pit stability. Proper disinfection measures will be put in place. The water supply systems rehabilitation works will be undertaken in 9 months to ensure proper testing and functionality before handover to the regional water bureaus and local communities. The project design has closely been coordinated with the WASH Cluster, regional and zonal authorities, and other operational partners in the targeted communities. This will ensure smooth implementation and complementarity as the needs are massive and will require concerted efforts to reduce possible disease outbreaks. Continuous monitoring will be undertaken in the implementation period to ensure all emerging trends are captured for the project to remain relevant to the ever evolving needs. Great community participation has been incorporated in the project design with emphasis to needs of women and children who form a great percentage of the displaced populations. This approach will continue in the project implementation and lessons learnt incorporated in future responses.
Protection monitoring in areas of return - West Guji zone The Protection Cluster designed an inter-ageny project for protection monitoring and capacity development for displacement affected communities in West Guji. The UNHCR component is one part of the wider initiative to ensure access to protection both in areas of displacement and return in West-Guji zone.
Emergency Response Project in Conflict affected IDP / Returnees in Yirgachefe Woreda ,Gedio Zone, SNNPR This project falls under the Pillar 3 covering the construction of transitional shelters and support targeted households with repair and rehabilitation of damaged structures for early recovery of the conflict displaced population. 

the 3rd   allocation prioritized for transitional or longer-term shelter support in kind or in cash for 10 % prioritized affected households, thus 29,000 under Pillar 3 to cover Gedeo – West Guji conflict IDPs/ returnees that will be supported through construction of temporary shelter where their original homes have been destroyed, or where families are temporally settling location.

In line with this strategy CARE Ethiopia will work on the provision of one-off cash and vouchers to 1000 households. The value of delivered cash or vouchers is based on the SNFI cluster or CWG MEB for Gedeo- West Guji.  Based on the shelter cluster assessment that was done on August, 2018 as well as the local government recommendation on the list of shelter constructions materials needed, CARE Ethiopia has calculated the transfer value which is 336 USD per household considering the local market price for the items included in the calculation. The shelter materials comprise to nails, Corrugated galvanized Iron sheet (Iron Sheet G-35 CGI) and skilled labor. The skilled labor cost is calculated for five days with 5.47 USD per day.

Given the targeting and protection concern that was raised in Bole Hora NDRMC- lead EOC temporarily suspend cash based humanitarian intervention in both West Guji and Gedeo. Thus CARE will follow up the recommended mitigation measure circulated by the CWG to minimize the targeting and protection concerns. If the concerns continues to exist and the suspension in cash response not uplifted, CARE will consider the third option which is proving the shelter items in kind and facilitate construction
 
 In Gedeo, CARE will work in close coordination with Save the Children and World Vision, and/or any other active actor providing or planning to provide cash assistance, to make sure the most vulnerable HHs are being targeted and that there are synergies in the proposed implementation modalities as well as that there is no duplication. 

CARE Ethiopia is a member of CWG and SNFI cluster at national and regional level and well known for having a presence in the country as well as in Gedeo zone by providing humanitarian assistance to IDPs and disaster affected communities. 

Total targeted population of the action are to 6000 individual (1000HHs). The project duration will be 6 months with a total cost of  $436,426
Emergency nutrition response for drought and conflict affected pastoralist and IDPs in Deka Suftu woredas in Liibaan Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia. Ethiopia as a nation is expected to continue facing major natural and man-made disasters as the ongoing situation is characterized by food insecurity that was carried forward from the impacts of poor rainfall in 2016/17. The forthcoming weather condition in the next month is also not promising because of the rainfall variability and large-scale conflict-related displacement requiring the continuation of humanitarian assistance. Thus, mobilizing large-scale emergency assistance for the affected people in the form of food, nutrition, and WASH aid – is needed to prevent extreme levels of food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and excess mortality (FEWS NET Alert March/2018) for emerging regions such as Somali region. 

In order to address the emergency nutrition needs of the region, Islamic Relief Worldwide has been operating in three zones of Somali Region and currently the organization operates in Liben zone by implementing emergency nutrition project in Deka Suftu woreda.. Majority of the IDPs residing in this woreda have been displaced due to conflict. Based on the recent data, there are more than 25, 000 IDPs and the host communities are estimated to be 125, 000. The woreda is one of the host spot area for emergency humanitarian response in the zone.

On the basis of the lessons learned, activities to be financed with the additional resources requested from OCHA would focus particularly on reaching pregnant and lactating women and for the children under five years and transferring day to day implementation and follow-up responsibilities until the objective of saving life is attained in the course of time.

As the ongoing project of IRW is going to end by --------, the emergency response started for the needy people has to continue for the next six months so as to deliver emergency support for the people affected by conflict and to address acute food insecurity and malnutrition. 

Accordingly, IRW has the intention continuing emergency nutrition by proposing similar intervention that will offer nutrition support for the needy people
Livestock feed support for drought affected communities in belg producing three woredas of North Wollo zone in the Amhara Region Failure of the belg rains in Jan-Apr has caused critical livestock feed and water shortages in the belg dependent highland areas of North Wollo zone, Amhara Regional state. Angot, Gazo and Wadla woredas are among the most affected areas and are categorized as priority-1 hotspots by the regional government. In some of the hardest hit kebeles the impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread death of livestock due to shortage of feed and water deteriorating livestock body condition migration of people and livestock stress induced livestock disease drastic fall in the price of livestock deteriorating terms of trade between livestock and cereals increased school drop-out rate and food shortages. The situation is so critical that immediate action is required to protect livelihoods and mitigate impacts on longer term vulnerabilities of affected communities. The feed distribution centers will be established in Wadla (3), Gazo (2) and Angot (2) woredas. 

Hence, this project is designed to respond to the livestock emergency in the belg dependent highland woredas of North Wollo, Amhara Regional State. The project aims to ensure the availability of animal feed and veterinary drugs for core breeding animals. In order to ensure that the most affected are addressed, there will be high level of community participation during the targeting and distribution of feed through feed distribution centers. The project will be implemented by Lutheran World Federation (LWF).  The project will target three highly affected districts: Angot, Gazo and Wadla and it will benefit 1900 households (9500) people. It is estimated that through this support 3800 core breeding animals will recover from the drought whereas 65,000 additional heads of livestock will be vaccinated in addition to the core breeding animals targeted for feed support. As a result of the additional livestock heads that will be vaccinated, 10833 individuals will directly benefit from the vaccination component. The total number of feed, treatment and vaccination beneficiaries thus is 20,333 (10,370 male and 9,963 female).
Emergency Seed support project for Gedeo IDPs fleet from West Gujii zone The overall objective of the project is to improve and restore the livelihood status of IDP communities in Gedeo zone that  displaced from West Guji Zone in Oromia region due to ethnic conflict erupted. The displacement has  negatively affected their livelihood and increased their vulnerability. The project will focus to improve the livelihood status of 15,500  vulnerable households and promote early recovery through providing seeds and agricultural tools which helps to start agricultural activities and reduce the need for emergency assistance. It is planned to provide seeds such as Teff, vegetables and bean for 10000 HH heads persons and agricultural tools which includes Billhook, local axe and three finger hoe for 5500 HH heads and support them to be engaged in agricultural farming activities. MCMDO proposed to implement the emergency seed support project in five woredas namely Yergachefe, Wonago, Kochere, Gedeb and Bule in Gedeo zone, SNNPR region which are priority one woredas and hosting IDPs from West Gujii Zone as a result of the ethnic conflict erupted in 2018. These woredas are identified as hotspot woredas and needs an urgent response by the EoC and the zonal Livestock and Fisheries office/Agriculture and Natural Resources Development Office. The focus of the project is on provision of seeds, agricultural tools, and emergency seed .  As per the EHF, DRM-ATF Prioritization Note of July 2018 and UNOCHA strategic paper, these woredas are identified as hotspot woredas and there is an IDP crisis which needs urgent support in this regard. MCMDO has practical demonstrated experience of similar projects and built smooth partnership with the regional and local stakeholders that help for the smooth execution of the project. 
 
The proposed project is planned to address the emergency seed needs of the community and improve the food security satiation of 15500 beneficiaries in the target woredas. MCMDO will closely implement the project in close collaboration with key stakeholders in the target woredas to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the action. The project will be complemented with MCMDO’s ongoing projects on emergency nutrition and development nutrition programmes under implementation in the zone. The project will be implemented for six months’ period and the total budget of the project is USD 400,113.66 which will be fully supported by UN OOCHA - EHF Fund.
Emergency maternal and reproductive health services to conflict induced IDPs in East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia region Recurrent drought has been affecting Ethiopia, mainly the southern and south-eastern parts, and has left millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. Based on Ethiopia’s 2018 Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), 7.88 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance. The total number of hot spot priority districts are 463, of which 216 are classified as hot spot priority one districts. Oromia region is one of the most drought affected regions in the country. From the total 216 drought affected hot spot priority one woredas, 67 woredas in Oromia region are classified as priority 1 hot spot woredas. Millions of people have been internally displaced due to the continued public unrest, ethnic based conflict and drought and flooding induced by climate change. The continued public unrest in different parts of the country mainly in Somali and Oromia regions continues to result in the displacement of population in Ethiopia. As of May – June, 2018 IOM displacement tracking matrix (DTM) round 11 report, there are 1,366,670 internally displaced persons in Somali and Oromia regions hosted in 717 sites. Of these, 636,547 IDPs was hosted in Oromia region in 424 IDP sites. Based on this IOM round 11 report, there are 205,890 internally displaced persons hosted in 31 districts of East and West Hararghe zones resided in 224 IDP sites that critically requires maternal and reproductive health services. In humanitarian situations women and girls do have unique health concerns, on sexual and reproductive health services and related life-threatening complications of pregnancy and childbirth attributable to malnutrition that must be addressed in internally displaced persons. In this project, UNFPA is planning to provide sexual and reproductive health and clinical management of rape survivor’s services for 184,680 conflict induced IDPs in selected 14 woredas hosting greater than 5,000 IDPs in East and West Haraghe zones of Oromia region. 

Project Goal: To contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in selected IDP sites and surrounding affected host communities.
Project Objective: To improve availability and increase access to lifesaving reproductive health, maternal health and sexual violence services for IDPs and affected host communities
Emergency Shelter and NFI Response for Conflict-Displaced Communities This project responds to the emergency shelter and NFI needs among communities displaced as a result of the Gedeo/Guji ethnic conflict. The project will target communities identified as in need of ESNFI support who may consist of one or all of the following: those who are still displaced and living in IDP camps / among host communities, those who have returned and have become ‘re-displaced’ in their areas of origin, and those who have returned to their homes in need of ESNFI support. Targets will be identified based on needs, and humanitarian assistance will be impartial.

The project will most likely focus on West Guji Zone, which has received a large influx of returnees and ‘re-IDPs’ in the recent weeks. However GOAL will be flexible to implement in Gedeo Zone also if needs and gaps are identified. This will be discussed and agreed with OCHA and the Cluster in advance. Exact locations and Woredas will be identified during implementation in discussions with the EOC and shelter cluster at field level, in accordance with the prioritized locations and needs. As recommended by the ESNFI Cluster Head, the proposal has been written in a flexible manner.

Responses in all locations will be coordinated to ensure the most vulnerable are reached, and that there is no overlap with other actors.

The response will employ an in-kind or cash modality, depending on the location and appropriate modality. The expectation at present is that an in-kind ESNFI modality will be employed in West Guji Zone, as cash is currently not considered appropriate for most of the Woredas in these locations. A cash modality may become appropriate during implementation and thus the exact response modality will be determined during implementation in conjunction with the local authorities, EOC, and ESNFI Cluster.

An estimated 3050 households are expected to be reached. It should be noted that GOAL may be directed to split the ESNFI kits in order to reach more households, or to provide partial kits or 'top-up' cash to those who previously received partial NFI kits. If this is the case more households will be reached and GOAL will report on actual beneficiaries reached at reporting stage.

The proposal is designed to be as flexible as possible in order to respond in a flexible and timely manner to the needs. The expected impact is that at least 3060 households' ESNFI needs (including items required for shelter, bedding, water storage, cooking and hygiene) will be reached which will help prevent morbidity and mortality (especially from cold weather) and provide a level of dignity to these vulnerable households who have lost the majority of their assets, and suffered severe psychological trauma as a result of conflict and displacement.
Life-Saving WASH Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Deder collective centers, East Hararge, Ethiopia The proposed intervention will provide life-saving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) assistance to conflict-induced internally displaced persons (IDPs) in six collective centers in Deder, Oromia region. 
Priority locations have been identified for assistance by WASH cluster. 

IOM will provide life-saving WASH interventions to support 6,400 IDPs living in precarious situation in Deder woreda and in particular in the following collective centers: DDC, Galma Wajira Bishani, Mena Yussufe, Woreda Administration Hall, Woreda Education Hall, Woreda Youth Association Hall.

The project objective is to minimize the likelihood of disease (particularly Acute Water Diarrhea) outbreaks and other transmissible diseases due to poor sanitation and hygiene conditions. The proposed actions are: environmental sanitation activities,( (i.e. garbage collection, camp clean-up activities, etc.)  rehabilitation of existing latrine and construction of the required additional sanitation facilities i for the caseload of IDPs, rehabilitation of water distribution points, provision of key hygiene promotion messages along with hygiene kits which will include a Menstrual hygiene Management items for female of reproductive age.
