Provision of transitional shelter and NFIs to the most vulnerable IDPs in Northern Baidoa The shelter project will support the provision of sustainable transitional shelter and NFIs to the vulnerable IDPs in Northern Baidoa. The project will target new arrivals with NFIs and emergency shelter kits while vulnerable protracted IDPs will be supported with transitional shelter construction. The transitional shelter construction will adopt owner-driven approach where project beneficiaries will be involved in the planning and site layout, actual construction and monitoring. SYPD will provide technical guidance throughout the construction process.   The project activities will target an estimated 3000 vulnerable IDPs. Based on the 2014 Somalia demographic profile this is estimated to include 869 women, 812 men, 638 boys,681 girls. Priority will be given to vulnerable female headed households and actual gender disaggregation will be updated after beneficiary registration. The shelter typology will be the charish, with iron sheet (CGI) roof, poles and sticks walls plastered with mud and a raised floor. The typology is the traditional shelter across Somalia and will be readily acceptable to the beneficiaries and appropriate to the temperate climatic conditions.  Due to the familiarity with the typology among the beneficiaries, the owner-driven approach will be easily adopted. In addition, the project will provide NFIs to vulnerable IDPs to allow them live a dignified life.
The shelter construction process will mainstream Housing, land and property rights. This will include holding consultations with local authorities, local land owners and host communities to explore longer term security of tenure for IDPs. SYPD will facilitate the acquisition and signing of security of land tenure documents with local authorities to ensure that IDPs are not eventually evicted once the project has been implemented.
The project will incorporate site and settlement planning for every shelter construction to promote secure and safe environment for IDPs. The project will mainstream protection issues for IDPs particularly at night by distributing household solar lamps and street lightin. The provision of household lighting will contribute to prevention of gender -based violence and sexual violence and limit the use of environmental unfriendly energy such as kerosene and firewood for lighting.
Emergency response to population displaced by the conflict in Galkacyo South to have increased access to safe water, appropriate sanitation facilities and hygiene promotion. According to a rapid assessment conducted by Cesvi in December 2016, around 5000 people are still displaced in the rural areas around Gaalkacyo South, due to the conflict between P/Land and Galmudug started in October 2016. The majority of them are women/children/elderly, are facing secondary displacement and are currently located in Xaar Xaar village, 11 Km south of Galkacyo (GK) town. In the same area, the IDPs were recently donated a piece of land by the Local Authorities. The living conditions of the IDPs are characterized by a general lack of access to safe drinking water, to appropriate sanitation facilities and increased risk of epidemics. In collaboration with the other humanitarian actors and the Local Authorities, Cesvi has been responding to the emergency in the locations were the majority of IDPs arrived after escaping from GK, with water trucking, Hygiene Kits distribution and Hygiene Promotion. The proposed intervention intends to be a continuation of the humanitarian action carried on so far: by ensuring a general improvement in the WASH standards the aim is to improve the overall wellbeing of the displaced population through a reduction in the transmission of faeco-oral diseases and exposure to disease outbreaks, in particular AWD/cholera. The intervention is therefore critical to save lives of the communities still displaced, in particular of most vulnerable groups including children, women and elderly people.
Enhanced protection of vulnerable children and communities in Baidoa IDP Camps Save the children will support the most deprived children in IDP camps and children associated with armed forces and armed groups who are extremely exposed to child abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect. The main objective of the project is to improve the protection of the target children from abuse, violence and exploitation as well as to rehabilitate and re-integrate the CAAFAG to lead their normal lives. In addition to this, Unaccompanied and separated children in the intervention IDPs will be reunified with their caregivers/guardians and those children who do not have caregivers/guardians will be supported through community based (clan/kafala) foster care placements. The direct beneficiaries of the project are 950 children and 440 Adults. It is imperative to note that the less number of beneficiaries of this project is dictated the fact that the project will providing specialized support to children associated with armed forces/groups and general case management support to vulnerable children and children at risk of abuse, violence , neglect and exploitation.
NGO Consortium Somalia continues to remain one of the world’s complex humanitarian emergency. Multi-layered challenges including on-going armed violence intersects to brutal effect with chronic poverty, weak institutions and governance, under-investment in basic services together with consequences of climate change in a fragile, semi-arid environment continues to plague the region. Local and International NGOs remain the primary providers of humanitarian and development assistance. However, access to those in need continues to be impeded by a range of factors, including direct threats to the safety of agency staff, the banning of organisations from certain insurgent-held areas, weak governance in large areas of Somalia, politicisation of assistance, rent-seeking and efforts to divert resources by a wide range of parties. Remote models of programme management, while necessary, complicate understanding of operating conditions, humanitarian need and implementation methods, and weaken monitoring and evaluation of aid programmes. With the possible end of the term of the Federal Government of Somalia in 2016, political uncertainty, power struggles and potential turnover of key actors may further strain these complex relationships. While Somali NGOs have greater access to populations in need, their capacity to deliver large scale interventions and meet donor requirements is limited. Though, there is an opportunity for better engagement with the Federal Government of Somalia, International donors and the UN, to ensure coherence between humanitarian interventions and longer-term development strategies and greater ownership and governance by Somali institutions and communities. Despite all efforts to support the Federal Government of Somalia in supporting Somalis and tending to their humanitarian needs, there is still tension between the need of re-enforcing existing government structures to build confidence and demonstrate relevance and NGOs operational requirements for independence in an insecure and erratic environment. More effort is therefore needed to work together towards building a resilient Somalia. 

The Somalia NGO Consortium remains the primary NGO coordination mechanism with a membership of over 80 local and International NGOs working in all parts of Somalia. The year 2016 experienced an increase of Local NGO membership and engagement. The Consortium continues to grow as an effective network, actively supporting its members to promote dialogue, collaboration, learning experiences, information exchange and to advocate on issues of key concern. The NGO Consortium continues to improve aid coordination and raise the presence and profile of NGO representation within the coordination structures in Somalia. The Consortium continues to encourage participation of women and men in all relevant forums. With the erratic working environment in Somalia, there is need for the NGO Consortium to continue facilitating coordination in addressing arising issues to allow NGOs to implement their activities unimpeded and tend to those in need.
Somalia Humanitarian Financing Unit OCHA Somalia's Humanitarian Financing Unit (SFU) oversees both management of the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) on behalf of the HC as well as the monitoring of NGO projects. The Somalia CHF was established in June 2010, as an upgrade from the earlier Humanitarian Response Fund (HRF). The SHF is a multi-donor strategic pooled fund that provides funding to high-priority, under-funded projects in the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) in twice-yearly standard allocations, to support aid agencies to respond to urgent humanitarian needs. 

The Somalia SHF has become an increasingly important funding mechanism in Somalia since its inception contributing between 6-10 percent of all HRP funding annually. The Fund is used strategically to maximize overall benefits to those in critical need as its allocation processes continue to take into account complementary funding streams, including the UN Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF) and bilateral funding to humanitarian partners. This ensures that humanitarian funding is used collectively and in harmonized ways which create greater overall impact and value for money. 

Since its inception in 2010, the fund has disbursed a total of US$335 million through its standard allocation and reserve windows with funds contributed by 15 member states and the African Union. Of this amount, $31 million was disbursed in 2015 making it possible to support 64 projects implemented by to 35 partners.
Emergency Shelter response to IDPs and poor host communities in  Kaxda district-Mogadishu This action seeks to ensure that vulnerable displacement-affected populations in Somalia, including those that are hard to reach, have adequate physical protection, safety and privacy, through access to basic services and livelihood opportunities. 

Somalia remains among the worst humanitarian crises in the world. A mixture of clan-related conflict, drought, flooding and forced evictions is resulting in increasing amounts of person becoming IDP’s. NRC will respond to shelter needs for newly displaced persons and host community in Kaxda district of Banadir region. This action will directly target 900 households or approximately 5,400 individual beneficiaries.

The response will strive to improve access to locally appropriate shelter solutions through a combination of life-saving activities while creating conditions for more durable solutions. The action will consist of settlement planning training, the distribution of settlement planning tools, the provision of emergency shelter kits and solar lamps as well as cash transfers for beneficiaries to construct their own shelter. This should promote beneficiary participation as well as choice and ownership of the shelters. Through NRC’s Information, counselling and legal assistance (ICLA) core competency, the beneficiaries will be supported to obtain communal land tenure documents in order to avoid the risk of being forcibly evicted.

Benefiting household selection and targeting will be based on needs, equity and access possibilities, and will be undertaken in coordination with the cluster and other humanitarian actors. NRC will also ensure that protection issues are mainstreamed throughout the implementation of the project.
Provision of Emergency Shelter Kits (ESK) to IDP populations living in the Settlement in Daynille District Mogadishu, Somalia The  proposed actions under this request are meant to complement DRC’s humanitarian efforts on addressing humanitarian needs of the IDP's who are living in deplorable shelter conditions in Daynille Districts in Mogadishu, by providing life-saving and life-sustaining assistance to people in need, prioritizing the most vulnerable men, women, boys and girls.
The project will enable DRC to fulfill its mandate and address shelter gap in the IDP Settlements in Daynille district through the procurement and distribution of emergency shelter kits (ESK), installation 11 solar street lights and working with the to advocate of settlement planning and creating awareness on local housing, land  property rights to the IDP populations in the settlements.
