Food Voucher Distribution to Severely Newly Displaced  Host Families in Nihm District, Sana’a Governorate This Food Voucher Distribution to Newly Displaced amp Host Families in High Priority Areas Project consists of providing food assistance to newly displaced and host families in high priority areas (Nihm District) for 1500 vulnerable HHs, which means 10,500 members, through unconditional voucher transfers to newly displaced IDP households, host families IDPs, and trapped host populations due to the escalation in the conflict (in locations of origin and destination locations for newly displaced IDPs) meeting the FSAC targeting and vulnerability criteria. For the items to be distributed for the beneficiaries, the SDF will advertise for the tendering of all items needed as identified by the cluster. Then, the SDF will select the best supplier based on certain processes of accuracy, cost-effectiveness and access to beneficiaries without any discrimination between men, women, boys and girls. The SDF will agree with the supplier on providing the appropriate warehouse that will be an accessible distribution point for the beneficiaries and ensure the availability of all items throughout the project timeline. The SDF will benefit from the needs assessment conducted in the targeted area which identifies the different suppliers and the needs in the targeted communities. Moving to the distribution process, the foundation and its partner, Najah Foundation for Development and Humanitarian Response, will at best seek to distribute all necessary items to the most vulnerable groups without causing any harm in terms of delivering the items to all different groups of conflict affected population. This will be managed through two teams who will be present in the distribution points to ensure the successful delivery of assistance with taking much consideration on all necessary procedures to keep the project on track and to the point. Working with this sub-implementing partner will jointly help the SDF have an effective and meaningful impact on improving households' food security status through the successful project implementation. Not only this, this partnership will better build the capacity of the partner and enhance its eligibility for partnering with OCHA.

Strengthening protection response and prevention services in humanitarian setting through well-established Community Based Protection Network in 8 districts of Taiz, Aden and Lahj governorates, Yemen As result of the escalating armed conflict and humanitarian crisis in Taiz and Hodeida governorates, the flow of IDPs is increasing dramatically. In response to that, FMF is proposing to establish community based protection networks at 8 districts of targeted governorates (Taiz, Aden, Lahj) where internally displaced population are settled down. The proposed project aims to establish 44 CBPNs at the targeted districts. CBPNs will strength the capacity of the community members to be able to solve their problems. Community networks provide a bridge between the affected population and service providers, allowing CBPN members to act as interlocutors between humanitarian agencies and the community at large. The CBPN project builds on a multifaceted implementation strategy, which incorporates elements of case identification, assets mapping, awareness raising and mass information dissemination, facilitation of community support projects and participatory activities that seek to strengthen the community and narrow gaps in response efforts .Each CBPN contains 10 members from different age, gender and origin (IDPs, marginalized people, refugees, and hosting community). The selected members will be literate, self-discipline, mature and resident in the areas cover by the project. CBPN member will be trained on the code of conduct, general protection, SGBV (including Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse-PSEA), child protection and principles of peaceful coexistence to enable them to identify persons at risk and report on protection concerns faced by the communities, as well as on possible cases of exploitation and abuse. In addition, Selected network members will receive trainings on Psychological First Aid (PFA) support to support the community in stressful situations. CBPN member main roles to identify and referral of the persons with specific needs to appropriate services and mapping-out specialized services provided by the humanitarian agencies and  through community centers as well. The proposed project targeted 44 CBPN member and 45000 beneficiary.
Urgent Life-saving emergency health Response for conflict affected people in the most prioritized governorates of Al Hudaydah (Bajil), Al-Jawf (Al Ghayl-Khabb wa ash Sha'af), Marib (Sirwah) and Dhamar (Dawran Aness-Utmah) in Yemen. More than three years since the escalation of the conflict, Yemeni people continue to bear the brunt of ongoing hostilities and severe economic decline. People are increasingly exhausting their coping mechanisms, and as a result the humanitarian crisis remains extremely widespread. According to the HNO 2018, an estimated 22.2 million people in Yemen need some kind of humanitarian or protection assistance, out of whom 16.4 million needs health assistance. There are just about 50% of health facilities that are fully functioning.
In response to the emergency humanitarian situation in Yemen, BFD is proposing a 12-month project that provides integrated MISP services to the most needing people according to the YHPF 2018 allocation strategy. The proposed project will interfere in the most needing communities in Al-Jawf, Marib, Dhamar amp Al Hudaydah Governorates. The objective of the project is to provide immediate access to lifesaving emergency packages, including healthcare services. 
These packages are to be provided for communities in priority geographical areas with the highest IDP/host community ratios. These packages are going to be offered through re-activating the Network of Primary Health Care Services, establishing community-based mechanisms for health promotion, and creating links between health care centers, unit and the communities. The capabilities of 8 primary health facilities will be enhanced by three stages. First, Identifying gaps and providing HFs with key technical staffing through coordination with health authorities and offering staff incentives. Second, distribute medical commodities (Supplies and Equipment), and improve access to antenatal and postnatal care for pregnant women, and third a minimum infrastructure rehabilitation. BFD will conduct capacity building  activities for the Ministry of Public Health and Population (MoPHP) staff to deliver primary health care services at 8 health facilities (HFs), 
Actually, BFD has implemented such activities in many governorates Amran, Al-Hudaydah, Al Mahweet, Al Jawf, Marib, AlBayda'a, Dhamar and other governorates. The integration of activities within the response was carefully designed to maximize benefits in all sectors, either by BFD itself, or in coordination with other partners.
BFD will focus on delivering essential lifesaving health services to these vulnerable communities at least to help lessen as much burden these communities are having as possible.
Winterization Cash Assistance for IDPs in Saada, Amanat Al Asimah, Ibb, Lahj The project aims to provide winterization support to vulnerable IDPs originating from Hudaydah and living in cold zones through unconditional cash grants during the winter season in line with the Shelter/NFI/CCCM Cluster's 2018 Winterization Strategy. Beneficiary lists will be provided by cluster partners and 20% will be verified prior to the cash distribution. Target areas were selected based on cluster request. Winter cash grants amounting to YER 170,000 per HH will be distributed through a UNHCR contracted Financial Service Provider using a Hawala system. Post distribution monitoring  will be carried out by a third party for at least 10% of the beneficiary HH who will have received the winterization cash grant.
Provide Emergency Food Assistance for Vulnerable Families in Old City- Amanat Al Asima This project will target the Old City district in Amanat Al Asimah, which has been identified by FSAC amongst the first –line responses gabs. This proposed intervention will enhance access to severely food insecure families in IPC phase three and the newly displaced and host families in the targeted district, while taking into account equitable access to genders in different ages and special consideration to those with special needs. Please see AAP-Protection mainstreaming- Gender marker code sections. 

SOUL, the project Implementing Partner (IP) will conduct this project in partnership with the Best Future Foundation as Sub-Implementing Partner (SIP). 

The SIP ran a RNA in the targeted district it indicated an urgent need for Food Security interventions. Therefore, 2000 HHs of the most vulnerable and affected HHs will be targeted with emergency food assistance  for 6  monthly rounds (3220 men    2520women  4340boys amp     3920  girls) taking into considering protection, gender, AAP, and confirming to FSAC standards. The project will adhere to the FSAC minimum/ survival food basket as indicated in the FSAC guidance notes for YHF first standard allocation 2018.

The IP and SIP will work in close coordination and collaboration, each brining their experience into this joint venture. A capacity building training for project amp the voluntary teams will be conducted on the topics:  mainstreaming of protection elements, guidelines for integrating GBV interventions in humanitarian action, report writing, and on AAP. 

SOUL –as IP- will take direct responsibility of the following components: Project Planning, quality of Reports amp Deliverables, MEAL, Financial Auditing, and coordination with local authorities as well as with community representatives. The SIP will take major responsibility of the field work related to HHs identification and registration, Delivering field assistance, teams management at filed level, FBs  field arrangements and distribution, etc. 

The IP and SIP will establish complaint and response mechanism CRM which will be conducted with different tools, includes a call center with a free number for receiving complaints and feedback raised by beneficiaries for any risks, difficulties faced by them as well as calling beneficiaries to assess the service:  how the mechanism is safe, easy and accessible to affected people, the quality and quantity of the distribution-process and food basket items, and on proper supplies-usage…etc. Then make a report to make necessary changes. The call center officers will be form SOUL staff to ensure credibility and avoid conflict of interest, since SIP is the one which conducts field implementation.
An Exit Strategy will be prepared in consultation and discussion with  the targeted community amp Local Authorities. Also, the exit strategy will be implemented through targeting the same HHs at this project with livelihood activities through proposing a project to OCHA next allocation to have a real long-term impact on improving their food security status.
Emergency Education Support to IDPs and Most at Risk Students in Hayfan and Damt districts The project is responding to the 1st line education cluster priorities with an objective to help to ensure schools remain open and operational by: Providing incentives for unpaid teachers, establishing Temporary learning Classrooms for displaced children, distributing kits, materials, furniture and supplies to targeted schools.

The outcome aimed to be achieved is to have 14898 children of IDPs and most at risk groups (7316 Boys and 7582 girls) from two districts of Taiz and Al Dhalae enrolled to schools and supported to continue their education during the school year of 2018/2019. 
So the project will provide 40 semi-structured classrooms/temporary learning spaces at 20 targeted schools at both districts, Procure and distribute 600 new desks and rehabilitate 1200 of the old School Desks t Provide school supplies and basic learning materials to the 20 targeted schools where the IDP students are enrolled to. 

The project will also support 98 school teachers (37 men and 61 women teachers) with incentives for ensuring quality education is provided to IDP and most at risk students in the semi-structure/temporary learning classrooms/spaces at targeted schools. In addition to 40 teacher kits (school-in-a-box kits) provided for the teachers working in the semi-structure/temporary classrooms.

20 targeted community education committees from both men and women will be be established and activated to support enrollment and follow up of project outcomes at local targeted communities and ensure full use of 40 recreational kits to the targeted schools with school bags and stationary provided to 2716 students (1358 boys and 1358 girls).
Priority 1:  Provision of General Food Assistance for Conflict Affected Populations and Host Community in Al Buraiqa and Dar Sa'ad Districts of Aden Governorate Aden is among the governorates that need emergency food assistance based on the FSAC guidance note of 2018. Therefore, this project will target 3000 household (21000 direct beneficiaries) in Alburaiqa and Dar Sa'ad districts of Aden governorate. Notably, Aden is a sea port governorate and one of the main market of Yemen. This will help FMF to provide food vouchers to the IDP’s and hosting community in the aforementioned districts to purchase from traders present in the local market based on the FSAC food basket criteria. The voucher programme will provide the beneficiaries with a varied choice of food items from the market and stimulate the local economy. 

The project’s overall objective is to improve household food opportunities for vulnerable populations in targeted areas. With YHF, the project aims to contribute to an improvement in food security for IDPs, poor and marginalized women, men and children using an integrated approach with on-going FMF nutrition and protection projects in Al Buraiqa and Dar Sa'ad districts. The crisis affected girls and women, boys and men differently hence gender mainstreaming and targeted response guides the FMF’s humanitarian assistance. Men of economic productive age might either being drawn into the conflict or have become separated from their households, and adult males that remain are for the most part unemployed, elderly or ill. This places addition burdens on female or male elderly headed households with regards to meeting food and non-food needs while ensuring child care for young children. Furthermore, FMF’s response considers protection principles that include safety and dignity, meaningful access, accountability as well as participation of all affected population.
Enhanced WASH assistance in conflict-affected areas of Yemen The main objective of the project was to enhance the preparedness capacity through implementing various activities so as to ensure conflict affected IDP households have access to comprehensive WASH assistance. The planned activities as procure and pre-positioning of WASH NFIs (hygiene kit, diarrhea kits, chlorine tabs, and other WASH NFIs), installing plastic water tanks in strategic places, conduct rapid needs assessment to identify critical WASH needs, and build the capacity of WASH actors through provision of operational costs and spare parts for existed water supply (fuel, spare parts, chlorine, …etc) and maintenance of critical water supply and sanitation systems.
FSL support to vulnerable households in Sana'a Governorate (Al-Haymah Al-Dakhiliya district) This project will provide 1,500 vulnerable households with unconditional cash transfers as per the FSA cluster. Project staff have already conducted assessment in the target district and are able to contextualise the assistance as per the communities’ needs. There will be 6 distributions of 65 USD each as per the cluster guidance which will each have a Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) mission which will measure indicators against the data collected at baseline stage.  
At project onset, community members will be selected to form community committees and will be trained on the cluster’s and WCUK’s guidelines and processes. The community committees will then assist the staff in selecting and registering beneficiaries. To ensure maximum transparency, induction meetings will be held to explain the selection criteria and the process and to inform the community about the project’s Feedback and Complaint (FampC) Mechanism.
This Feedback and Complaint (FampC) Mechanism will be established after conducting community consolations. From WCUK’s previous experience in Yemen, this is likely to include hotline, feedback and complaints (FampC) boxes, staff visits, Focus Group Discussions, and a help desk that will be available during distributions.
WFP Preparedness: Logistics Cluster Due to the volatility of the security situation in Yemen and in Al Hodeidah district, the Logistics Cluster aims to undertake preparedness measures that will allow for an increased readiness in responding to sudden crises, thus ensuring humanitarian organisations have access to logistics resources and capacity to reach affected population. These measures include the propositioning of an aircraft in Djibouti to carry out airlifts of urgently needed humanitarian cargo to Sana’a until December 2018 to allow for an increased amount of humanitarian cargo handled in the Djibouti airport, the Logistics Cluster aims to purchase some equipment needed to ensure a smooth rollout of loading and offloading operations inside the airport. This new equipment will also allow the use of aircraft with bigger capacity. Finally, the Logistics Cluster plans to procure 15 Mobile Storage Units (MSUs) to be distributed equally amongst Sana’a, Hodeidah and Aden to ensure that additional temporary storage capacity is available to be deployed to strategic response locations where storage space is scarce and prepositioning is needed. Where applicable and contingent on access, WFP may bilaterally provide humanitarian organizations MSUs to augment their storage capacity.
Emergency Health Response in Sana’a and Amran governorates in Yemen. The key focus of this project is to improve access to primary and secondary health care services, including those provided in district hospitals, for the most vulnerable boys, girls, women and men in six districts in two governorates in Yemen: Sana’a (Safa’an, Manakha and Haymah al Kharijiyah districts) and Amran (Amran, Huth and Harf Sofian districts). Out of 6, 5 of those districts are at health severity score of 4 and one of them (Harf Sofian) is at the score of 5, as prioritized by the First Standard Allocation YHPF 2018 strategy paper and guidance from the Health Cluster. 

RI will provide operational support to 27 fixed health facilities – 4 hospitals, 3 health centers (HC) and 20 health units (HUs) to provide health services at the relevant level of health care system. The support will take the form of provision of incentives and trainings to the staff, rehabilitation and equipping the target HFs with medial and non-medial furniture and equipment (including solar systems), procuring and providing essential medicines and medical supplies, providing operational costs, and other support based on the identified needs. Additionally, RI will also support the healthcare system through a referral system to ensure that patients will have access to required services at a higher level of care, including emergency care. RI will be involved in the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) programs and protocols.

The re-established health care system at primary and secondary level will be reinforced through community-based activities and RI, through a Local Partner - Building for Development (BFD) – who will mobilize and train Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to support community based activities and referral system. Provision of curative services by RI will be supported with preventive health education and awareness raising activities, which will further strengthen linkages between the targeted communities and RI’s interventions.

This health intervention, despite being submitted as a separate proposal, is integrated with a Nutrition response submitted also within the first Standard Allocation 2018. Both responses will be targeting the same health facilities to ensure that the nutrition needs of the same catchment populations are also addressed and integration of these urgent needs in both sectors. The impact of this project will be strengthened by RI cholera intervention, funded by UNICEF in Sana’a and WHO in Amran, that will initiate alongside the increased incidence of cholera reported in those areas. 

The selection of the health facilities has already been approved by the GHO (please refer to Annex I). The intervention was also coordinated at Health Sana’a Sub-Cluster level (please refer to Annex II).
