Improving access to life saving and integrated response to drought affected women, men, boys and girls in Jariban Mudug region of Somalia This proposed action will support vulnerable population under IPC 4 in Mudug region Jariban districts in the locations (Jariban, Booc, Cara-Caso and Garcad)  . Under this intervention, DRC seeks to provide unconditional cash transfers 250HH(1500 Beneficiaries) and cash for work to 400 HH(2400 Beneficiaries) for the drought displaced community locations of Jariban ,2,3,4 locations . The influx of cash is meant to increase the purchasing power for target households with limited access to food commodities that are available in the local markets. The provision of cash will be a dignified means of supporting beneficiaries as they allow them to make their own choices in terms of the types and quantities of food to purchase. Under cash for work activities component, community members will be engaged to rehabilitate productive community assets to restore them to usable condition. The community members will identify and select assets that are not in proper working condition and those that have been damaged by human activities or natural calamities for rehabilitation/restoration. Possible cash for work activities will be bush clearing, erosion control, digging latrine pits, road work to improve access to markets, basic services and other work to preserve community assets and recover from effects of drought. Women and men will be equally involved in determining the final gender appropriate cash for work activities. Care will be taken to select activities that allow a high percentage of women to participate. Work norms will be established to ensure a reasonable quantity of work but allow women time to carry out their family responsibilities. The Danish Demining Group will complement DRC’s efforts and provide mine risk education to the population in Jariba. Additionally, unconditional cash transfers covering at least 80% of MEB will be provided to 250 HHs that do not meet the cash for work criteria and do not have an available adult laborer within the family to be involved. Examples include female-headed households where all members of the family are children except for the caregiver
Life-saving shelter assistance for most vulnerable IDPs and Host communities in Baidoa through distribution of basic Non-Food Items and Construction of Emergency Shelters. In the context of deplorable shelter condition facing IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Baidoa, AVORD is submitting this proposal with the aim of providing Non-Food Items (NFIs) and emergency shelters to 4,700 households (22,200 IDP persons). The target group are the most vulnerable households who live makeshift buuls without adequate access to basic necessities including shelter. 

Following need-based and transparent selection of beneficiaries, AVORD will provide effected households with NFI kits comprising of 1 Plastic Sheet, 3 Blankets, 2 Sleeping Mats, I Kitchen Set, 1 Mosquito Net, 1 Solar Torch and 2 Jerry Cans with the capacity of 10 Liters each. The proposed content in each set is based on current Shelter Cluster standards for people in humanitarian emergencies. In addition to NFIs, emergency shelters will be constructed for newly displaced households living in the open or under deplorable shelter conditions. Proper site planning will be undertaken during the construction of shelters to ensure effective mitigation of hazards and reduce congestion levels. AVORD will also employ an owner-driven approach by capacitating the IDPs to undertake the construction process. If market conditions allow, AVORD will use a cash-based modality for implementation.

Protection will be mainstreamed throughout project duration by closely coordinating with other partners operating Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) crisis centers and facilitating principled referrals where necessary. The effectiveness of the aid package will be ascertained through a Post Distribution Monitoring exercise thus ensuring that beneficiaries access their services safely and in a dignified manner. An elaborate feedback and complain mechanism will be setup to ensure accountability to the effected population.

In the delivery of the proposed package, AVORD will seek Integration with other clusters and own interventions in the region to ensure complementarity, value for money and efficiency of the response.
Sustained CCCM Response for IDP Settlements in Hargeisa district in Woqooyi Galbeed Region, Somalia While the risk of famine has reduced, humanitarian needs remain high across Somalia, with an estimated 1.5 million people expected to be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse through December 2018 (FSNAU/FEWSNET July 2018). The majority of those most in need of urgent life-saving assistance are displaced. Recent FSNAU reports (October 2018) indicate that IDP settlements constitute areas of greatest concern, which will sustain Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and Emergency (IPC Phase 4) until May 2019. In Woqooyi Galbeed region, 175,000 people are Acutely Food Insecure (IPC 3 through 5), with 6,000 people classified as IPC 5, all living in Hargeisa IDPs. Population groups classified as Crisis (IPC Phase) or worse require urgent interventions aimed at reducing food consumption gaps, saving lives and protecting and saving livelihoods. Conditions for IDPs are likely to deteriorate unless humanitarian support is scaled-up and safe access to services and assistance in selected sites is improved.

To this end, ACTED will implement a cluster-specific intervention in Hargeisa district aiming at 1) improving the coordination and information management at site level, with a strong focus on advocacy for those sites that are receiving poor level of humanitarian assistance and 2) improve community participation and strengthen community self-management through capacity building, community-based projects, particularly on site maintenance and securing of land rights whenever possible. 

ACTED will implement these activities in 11 IDP sites in Hargeisa district in Woqooyi Galbeed region, targeting a largely undeserved area. Approximately 29,082 people (4,847 households) will benefit from this intervention, in addition to the community working in these sites including local authorities, clusters and other NGOs. These numbers might vary due to external factors such as the drought, which might attract more IDPs, excessive flooding or conflict with the landowners or the authorities, which may cause IDPs to flee to other areas.
Integrated nutrition project aimed at reducing acute malnutrition among children between 6- 59 months and pregnant and lactating women in Afmadow district, Lower Juba, Central South Somalia. Afmadow district in lower Juba is one of the areas in Somalia with chronic high levels of acute malnutrition beyond the emergency threshold. It is also a district where the IDPs report high prevalence acute malnutrition(FSNAU 2017), almost 1 in every 2 children suffering from a communicable disease, limited access to health facilities, very few women with access to Maternal and child care services including delivery services (Health cluster reports) ,  very high morbidity rates with child illness being highest , poor access to vaccination services and 1 in every 5 pregnant or lactating women being acutely malnourished (FSNAU,2017). Most of the population are pastoral who lost their animals in the drought and still have limited pasture due to below average Gu rains(FEWSNET/FSNAU 2017) It is also an area with access constrains as per UN ratings locking some parts out out from surveys/assessments that could have provided information and  humanitarian aid, even after some areas were  liberated.  The district outlook indicates a serious food insecurity state . The situation is unlikely to improve untill May 2017, if the Gu rains perform well. Food insecurity situation among the IDPs is in Crisis.A lot still needs to be done in this area  to prevent the situation from further deterioration.
WRRS therefore intends to intervene with projects that deliver lifesaving to a community ravaged by drought . Life saving to save lives of nearly 1/5 of children(Boys and girls) 6 59 months and pregnant lactating women , who are acutely malnourished and at risk of either contracting diseases or dying due to malnutrition. This will be done through scaling up treatment of moderate acute malnutrition and both complicated and uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition. To increase access additional Mobile and fixed sites will be put in place. More community health workers and volunteers will also be employed to increase access, as they hail from the community and thus frequently interact with them, offering services as needed, and appropriately referring those who need specialized assistance. They also follow up those receiving services thus promoting use of health and nutrition services. The project will use the organisation's health facilities as fixed sites , so as to encourage integration. Prevention services will also be employed as a way of reducing incidence of malnutrition. These will include provision of micro nutrient to children 6-59 months and PLWs, Nutrition Health and hygiene promotion and IYCF support .
The project will work with nutrition cluster partners to avoid overlapping and with health, WASH and food security partners to link beneficiaries to those projects as much as is possible.
Provision of integrated multi-sectoral and lifesaving services to drought/AWD and conflict affected communities in Wanlaweyn, Qoryoley and Kurtunwarey districts of Lower Shabelle The project intends to provide access to an integrated package of emergency lifesaving services including health, nutrition and WASH to 59,600 IDPs and host community (34,740 IDPs, 23,836 people in host) in Wanlaweyn, Qoryoley and Kurtunwarey districts of Lower Shabelle in South Central Somalia. The proposed intervention will  will be delivered through integrated response teams-1 per district to provide services to the vulnerable including those in hard to reach villages and pastrolists. 
Health/Nutrition: For the target population, access to basic health and nutrition services is limited, increasing morbidity and mortality from treatable conditions. Health challenges/needs are mostly profound among the most vulnerable groups pregnant and lactating women and children under five years. According to the FSNAU, the GAM rates in this IDPs are at 16.1%, SAM rate of 4.1% and Crude death rate of 0.79, Under five mortality rate of 1.77 while morbidity is at 44.1% . Immunization coverage is low among these groups. In response to this, WARDI will enhance service delivery through setting up 6 integrated mobile outreach teams. The integrated teams will provide integrated maternal, neonatal and child health and nutrition services. Key services to be availed will include immunization, management of childhood illnesses, detection and management/referral of severe acute malnutrition and provision of focused antenatal and postnatal care and referral for skilled delivery. Critical component to the intervention will be aggressive community education and sensitization on critically important issues of infant young child feeding, prevention and treatment of diarrhoea, hygiene promotion and health facility delivery. In total 59,600 persons will access high quality free of charge health and nutrition services. 
WASH:  At least 15,700 (3749 men, 4636 women, 3121 boys and 3794 girls) drought and AWD affected IDPs and host communities have emergency and sustainable access to safe water through water voucher for 60 days rehabilitation of 1 strategic borehole in Qoryoley town, rehabilitation  of 3 shallow wells in Wanlaweyn district and capacity building of WASH committees, well operators and Community Committees while environmental sanitation is improved through construction of 58 gender sensitive, flood proof latrines (28 for male and 30 for female), and conducting hygiene promotion awareness campaigns including distribution of 1000 hygiene promotion kits in our three target districts.
Access to Quality Education for Drought-Affected Children in Rural Areas of Bari Region of Puntland This project proposes a 10-month intervention aimed at improving access to quality education and WASH inputs for drought as well as conflict affected students in remote areas of Bari region of Puntland State of Somalia through the provision of education supplies, emergency take away food rations for students and family food rations for teachers to meet their food and energy needs and motivate teachers to stay in the schools,  sanitary kits for adolescent girls to facilitate their regular attendance at school, increasing water storage capacity, rehabilitation/extension of water points and latrines and safe drinking water supply to schools to provide for student and teacher safe drinking water needs, and improving hygiene practices among children through engagement with community hygiene promoters. The project will provide training on the roles and responsibilities, water management, food management, and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) for Community Education Committee (CEC) members of the respective schools. The project will also train community hygiene promoters on hygiene promotion, psycho-social support and child protection and safeguarding as they will be closely interacting with children during hygiene promotion sessions. Water for schools will be provisioned through water tanks with increased and improved water storage facilities. This will ensure children remain in school and learn in a protected, adequately resourced, and safe environment. Further, the CECs will be trained on DRR to build their capacity and preparedness to respond to future disasters. Minor rehabilitation of schools will be carried out to provide a safe and secure learning environment to children. Water points and gender friendly latrines in the targeted schools will be rehabilitated/extended to allow girls and boys to access the facilities in order to avoid disruptions in learning. Back to school campaign will be launched through mobile radio by airing messages with special focus to encourage enrollment of  IDPs children. The Ministry of Women's Development and Family Affairs' (MoWDAFA) Regional Child Protection Coordinator will be engaged to strengthen the child protection referral mechanism at the regional level. The regional Education in Emergency (EiE) coordination system will be strengthened in Bari through monthly meetings of humanitarian agencies in the Education sector to coordinate the response and minimize duplication. This system will linked with the Puntland-level EiE Working Group for discussion, refinement, and sharing of lessons learned.
Improving access food through unconditional cash transfer to vulnerable IDPs in Baidoa District of Bay region. The number of people facing food insecurity has reduced from 5.4 million (in February 2018) to 4.6 million, but it is still higher than at pre-crisis levels. In response to this, READO intends to improve the food access of 1,350HHs through unconditional cash transfers for five monthly cycles for the most vulnerable IDPs in the Baidoa. The modality of the cash transfer will be through cash vouchers.  In addition, On-site Monitoring will be conducted during the distribution of cash vouchers and Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) will be conducted after every two cash voucher distribution. READO will coordinate with the FSC and partners to avoid duplication/overlapping of activities in Baidoa.
Provision of essential cooperation and information services on safety  security and access to humanitarian aid organisations in Somalia The NGO safety program was established in 2004 to support NGOs operating in Somalia in terms of staff safety. In this complex context, NGOs face strong challenges related to access and security, including: a lack of understanding of the context difficulty to access and to verify information a lack of information sharing a lack of security coordination and harmonized security practices poor security awareness of staff and a lack of training opportunities. This safety platform is managed since April 2015 by INSO

In response to, and following the guidance of an Advisory Board (which is composed by 4 INGOs and 3 LNGOs), the project focuses in two main pillars of action which can be summarized as Information, Analysis and Advice, and Preparedness and Response. The two pillars are strongly interconnected: NGOs need accurate and timely security information to base their decisions on, while they need the proper safety training to organize and take relevant security decisions. Finally, in case an incident takes place, NGOs receive adequate support
Through INSO’s own network of Deputy safety Advisors and Safety Advisor assistants, NGO reports, collaboration with other security actors and media follow up, INSO collects, verifies, compiles and analyses security incidents. Besides, since 2010, the project has developed a database of more than 33,000 incidents that constitutes a unique tool for data analysis. The INSO Training Team runs training programs which targets both individual safety and management of the organization's security. Finally, INSO field teams help NGOs on the ground to deal with daily security incidents, such as arrests, accidents and threats, while the INSO senior management team can provide support to critical incidents such as kidnappings, abductions and medical evacuations. The extent of INSO involvement is determined by the NGO who requests our services.

Due to the peculiar mandate and mission of INSO, its Nairobi office has a dual role, both as coordination hub and implementer of core INSO activities (such as verbal briefings and production or maps and reports). Likewise, senior management (including the Country Director) are highly involved in the direct delivery of our services: they are not just managers but also direct implementers in their role of advisors to other NGOs. 

The project budget leans heavily in HR costs because the project’s core product is knowledge. That’s in essence what INSO’s beneficiaries receive. When the main output of an organization is information, the organization core cost is HR – same as e.g. an online newspaper or a management consulting firm.
Enhancing shelter conditions for vulnerable IDPs and host communities in Jowhar and Balad districts, Middle Shabelle In the context of active conflict and severe drought conditions in Middle Shabelle, AVORD is proposing this initiative with the aim of enhancing shelter conditions for 4,000 most vulnerable IDP and host community households (24,000 IDP persons) in Balad and Jowhar districts who largely reside in makeshift buuls without adequate access to NFIs and Shelter. Following need-based and transparent selection of beneficiaries, AVORD will distribute NFIs and Emergency Shelter kits while undertaking site planning activities to ensure effective mitigation of hazards and reduce congestion levels in target settlements. AVORD will employ an owner-driven approach in the construction of emergency shelters by capacitating the IDPs to undertake the construction process. In tandem with NFI and ESK distribution, AVORD will undertake infrastructure mapping exercises in accessible settlements in Balad and Jowhar to enhance programming and efficiency of humanitarian response in the area. 

Protection will be mainstreamed throughout project duration by closely coordinating with other partners operating Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) crisis centers and facilitating principled referrals. The project team will continuously identify and follow-up with SGBV survivors for psycho-social, medical, and legal support while conducting sensitization on key protection issues.

In the delivery of the proposed package, AVORD will seek Integration with other clusters hence ensuring complementarity, value for money and efficiency of the response.
Addressing protection risks associated with evictions in Somalia through integrated HLP initiatives Somalia is faced with the daunting prospect of rebuilding the country having been riven by more than two decades of conflict and lawlessness. Persistent insecurity, cyclic natural disasters, and widespread unlawful evictions continue to engender forced displacements, thus compounding an already dire humanitarian situation across the country. Evictions represent a unique protection challenge in Somalia with far-reaching consequences on physical security, dignity, and livelihood of victims. Important strides are being made to address the issue but ongoing initiatives have been outmatched due to the prevalence of the problem, thus necessitating a more robust, integrated and coordinated program response. In the absence of an effective response to address protection challenges that are being exacerbated by eviction, displaced communities will remain at risk of continuing secondary displacements. 

This project seeks to reduce the practice of unlawful evictions and to protect communities at risk from forced displacements, while at the same time supporting durable solutions efforts. This overarching objectives will be achieved through a broad range of prevention and response initiatives and community based processes that are anchored on three core outputs: Protection risks exacerbated by evictions are mitigated through integrated prevention and response initiatives displaced communities have increased access to information and specialized services necessary to navigate administrative and procedural obstacles linked to the enjoyment and exercise of HLP rights and local capacity supported to address HLP violations and contribute to social cohesion.

A total of 34,186 individuals in 10 districts across 5 regions are expected to benefit from different project services and multi-sectoral assistance packages. Specific priorities shall include diversifying eviction prevention and response through proactive engagements with land owners, regional administrations and local municipalities strengthening coordination with the BRA and district authorities to address evictions in Mogadishu expanding access to tenure security documents helping victims of eviction cope with post-incident complications strengthening the operational capacity of the HLP Sub Cluster and upgrade of the current eviction information management system in order to enhance reliability and data availability. A parallel objective of the HLP Sub Cluster which this project will seek to advance is consolidating HLP capacity among national organization.
