Emergency support to displaced communities through the provision of emergency agricultural inputs to enhance agriculture productivity in Tuliguled Woreda of Somali region The Somali region of Ethiopia is constantly facing a complex humanitarian crisis as a result of drought combined inter-communal conflict along the Somali-Oromo border. As a result, 419 displacement sites to have been opened for about 1,051,542 individuals comprising of 175,378 households. This situation is repetitive and predictable with drought, floods, disease outbreaks of measles, and acute malnutrition incidents which leaves in need of lifesaving and protection concerns. The condition of pastoralist and agro-pastoralist is deteriorating due to the impact of prolonged drought since 2016.

This emergency support project a 6-month response to assist 2425 Vulnerable IDPs and host community in Tuliguled Woreda in Somali region of Ethiopia. The intervention aims to ensure that displaced people and host communities suffering is reduced through the provision of agricultural inputs (seeds and farming tools) in the targeted areas in order to enhance the food production and supply system of the most vulnerable population of the Somali region. The main activity to be carried out to realize the aim of this project is to provide agricultural inputs (seeds and farming tools) to improve access to staple food production by targeted Vulnerable IDPs and host community. The project will start in January 2019 and expected to end in June 2019.
Creating Educational Access to Conflict-Affected School Aged Children in Kotchere Gedeb and Bule Woredas, Gedeo Zone, SNNPR This education in emergencies (EiE) project aims to create learning opportunities for displaced school age children in conflict-affected districts of Kochere Gedeb and Bule woredas in Gedeo Zone of SNNPR. The project will provide teaching and learning materials, conduct accelerated school readiness (ASR) and accelerated learning program (ALP) to conflict affected children in Gedeo zone. The IRC will provide orientation to teachers and facilitators on how to effectively conduct the two EiE programs. While the ALP targets out of school children aged between 7-14, the ASR targets children aged six. The IRC will also organize community meetings and launching workshops.
Safe and Protective Inclusive Accelerated Learning Opportunities for crisis affected pre and primary school age boys and girls in Somali region The 2019 severity analysis data shows that Somali Regional State is one of the most emergency affected regions caused by manmade and climate induced disasters. This crisis resulted in the displacement of 149,843 people (67.429 females) so far this year of which 40% are children.  The October 2019 MYR-HRP severity analysis ranked 13 Woredas in Somali region (Moyale, Hudet, Babile, Tuliguled, Adadle, Dekasuftu, Kedaduma, Dolobay, Kebridahar, Kelafo, East, Jijiga and Mustahil) as the first priority Woredas. Considering the highest number of out of school children, Save the Children will focus on Hudet, Moyale and Mubarak woredas in Dawa zone in this project. The information obtained from the field indicate that one of the major barriers that hinder children from going to schools is shortage of classrooms because 43 and 57 schools have been totally and partially destroyed respectively by conflict in these Woredas. Children’s access to education has been drastically reduced as a result, and the safety of schools compromised. In addition, the livelihood of families is completely collapsed that they cannot afford to avail learning materials and meals to enable their children to go to school and continue their education. The crisis situation has also affected the socio – emotional wellbeing of children and teachers. This project targets 700 Pre-primary (315 girls) and 3,670 (1,967 girls) primary school children and will apply Accelerated School Readiness (ASR) and Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) approaches for pre-primary and primary education program delivery respectively.
Provision of child protection systems for IDPs and Host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali Regional State Large number of IDPs affected by the 2018 renewed conflict between the Oromo and Somali communities continue to reside in Hudet (89,716), and Moyale (169,704) woredas. Vast majority are women and children who are generally subjected to high protection risks and psychosocial problems. At the same time Somali region was faced with harsh failure of gu rain that considerably affected the livelihood of the pastoral and agro-pastoral communities within the region. The below normal gu rain resulted in decrease in livestock herd size and limited access to food incomes in the pastoralist making children and families prone to protection risks. Cholera outbreak, although controlled, has impacted communities in Hudet and Moyal restricting peoples’ movement for economic reasons for some months. The government and the Humanitarian partners have to respond to the context while, at the same time responding to the continued needs of IDPs and returnees. Under this project Save the Children aims to address the protection and psychosocial concerns of children including UASC through psychosocial support services through CFSs, structured resilience building workshop for children   and activities for caregivers to promote wellbeing and protection of children and strengthening community based child protection mechanisms. Save the Children support woreda women and Children affairs offices through training material support to conduct case management for for most vulnerable children in need of case management. The project will be implemented for six months in thirty IDP sites and host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali regional State. The project will directly target 8,600 children (G= 4,328, B= 4272) and 2498 adults (F= 1245 M =1244) through child protection and psychosocial interventions.
Strengthening in-patient management of severe acute malnutrition for referral stabilization centers supporting IDPs and host communities in areas of high nutrition vulnerability; SNNPR, Oromia and Somali regions Acute malnutrition remains a significant public health concern world wide. In Ethiopia. acute malnutrition contributes to  at least 45% of under five mortality and these proportions could be higher in emergency situations when the caseloads are higher and the health system is overstretched. Currently in Ethiopia, severe food insecurity with generally poor nutrition is resulting into increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements due to internal displacements. Increased SAM admissions  have been observed in this first quarter of 2019 with proportions of SAM with medical complications admitted in the stabilization centers reaching up to 26% in Gedeo zone, Southern Nation and Nationalities Peoples (SNNPR). Other areas of high priority as described in the HRP 2019 include West Guji, West Harerge, East Harerge zone in Oromia region, Kamashi zone (Benshangul  Gumuz) and Dawa zone (Somali regions). 

The government, UN agencies, and implementing partners are responding to the health and nutrition needs to affected individuals in these areas through general food distribution, targeted supplementary feeding for management of under fives and pregnant and lactating women with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM), therapeutic feeding for children under five with SAM in the out-patient therapeutic centers and  stabilization centers. Due to the overwhelming  admissions in the stabilization centers, gaps such as shortages in essential drugs in facilities receiving a high caseload have been noted, additionally there are capacity gaps among health care workers in the management of SAM resulting into mismanagement practices for the care of admitted children. 

This project will support the procurement of additional essential drugs in the SAM treatment kit to address the drug shortages in stabilization centers with a high caseload of SAM with medical complications and strengthen the capacity of physicians involved in the management of SAM with medical complications in stabilization centers and emergency care units focusing on Gedeo (SNNPR), West Guji , East and West Harage (Oromia) and selected priorioty zones in Somali region.
Emergency Seed Response for Drought-Affected and Displaced Communities This project responds to the food security and agriculture needs among drought-affected and conflict-displaced households in Guji and West Guji Zones in Oromiya Region.

The objective of this project is to improve food security and boost longer-term resilience and recovery efforts among targeted households who have been adversely affected by protracted droughts and conflict-induced displacement.

GOAL expects to implement this project in Adola, Bore, Girja, Gora Dola, Wadera, and Liben Woredas (Guji Zone) and  Melka Soda Woreda (West Guji Zone).

GOAL will distribute short-maturing and drought-resilient seeds to an expected 31,000 households across the targeted Woredas.
The seed distributions will be accompanied by training for targeted model farmer households on improved crop production practices of short-maturing and drought-resistant crop varieties.
Development agencies will receive refresher training and will be linked with the model farmers and communities to provide continued support beyond the project period.

GOAL will endeavor to carry out the distributions in time for the Belg planting window, however this is highly dependent on timely proposal review process, availability of seeds supplies to ensure timely procurement, as well as collaboration by local stakeholders in facilitating agreements rapidly and supporting beneficiary targeting and verification in a timely manner. In the case that due to particular factors the planting window for Belg (mid June at latest) is missed, the activities under this grant will instead focus on the Meher planting window which begins from mid-July in the targeted areas. The type of seed may be adjusted in such a case and this may affect costs. GOAL will maintain regular communication with the DRM-ATF on the progress and coordinate closely with local-level stakeholders to ensure that this project will have maximum impact and effectiveness.
Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) and Shelter Support for Disaster-Affected Populations in Moyale district, Borena zone, Oromia region of Ethiopia. The proposed intervention will provide integrated and comprehensive Shelter and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) life-saving assistance to disaster-affected populations in Oromia Region’s Borena zone (Moyale woreda).
 
Moyale is a cluster-identified priority area in which the number of returnees and IDPs remain high. According to the Shelter cluster priority gap analysis in Moyale (both Dawaa and Borena side) 32,171 households (HH) are in need of shelter assistance, of which 23,010 are prioritized  . Another 32,000 HH are projected by the cluster to be in need of emergency shelter and non-food item (ES/NFI) assistance.

The project will deliver integrated assistance through provision of Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (ES/NFIs) and WASH services with essential protection mainstreaming, gender inclusion, and measures to mitigate the risk of gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA). Additionally, the project will pilot a multisectoral NFI kit which combines both Shelter and WASH NFIs. 

Through the proposed intervention, the following will be carried out:

Shelter/NFI
	1,000 households will receive Emergency Shelter material and a multisector NFI kit. 
	1,100 households will be supported with critical shelter repair. 
	All shelter repair beneficiaries will be verified and assisted with housing, land and property (HLP) support. 
	1,000 households will be supported with Cash for Rent assistance (pending assessment).

WASH
	1,100 emergency household latrines provided in combination with shelter repair support.
	2 water supply scheme rehabilitations (HDW or SW)
	Hygiene promotion (HP) activities reaching 11,000 IDP, returnee, and host community members.
	1,000 HH will receive WASH NFIs and Menstrual Hygiene Management Materials (MHM) by multisector NFI kit.  

With this project, IOM will also seek to target 15 per cent of host communities in need of support with essential ES/NFI. Including host communities within the humanitarian assistance caseload supports a needs-based response approach and contributes to improving social cohesion and community structure rehabilitation in displacement-affected locations.

The proposed life-saving emergency response project will focus on improving the overall water and sanitation situation in the targeted area, in order to decrease secondary causes of malnutrition that contribute to increasing of cases. Additionally, extensive HP activities will be undertaken in cholera affected areas, which will contribute to create more awareness on how to protect from cholera and decrease the spread of affected cases.

Live Saving Shelter Assistance to Returnees in Hudet Woreda, Dawa Zone, Somali  Region Improved stability in Ethiopia is resulting in IDPs returning to their areas of origin, integrating locally or resettling, in the Somali region, specifically an estimated 1 million people remain internally displaced within Somali Region requiring support for durable solutions and improved living conditions. ZOA is seeking to implement an emergency shelter project in line with the Shelter and NFI cluster priority Woredas – particularly Hudet woredas of Dawa Zone of Somali Region. Through this intervention, ZOA  aims to reach a total of 3452 (1105 Male and 2347 Female) returnee individuals in Hudet Woreda. Moreover, the proposed activities and areas are in line with the Regional level prioritization exercise conducted recently by the  Somali Region ESNFI Cluster. The overall objective of these shelter interventions in the proposed area is to save lives and reduce the vulnerability of returnees due to poor shelter service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to shelter and well repaired and reconstructed shelter to returnees subsequently improving the knowledge of proper shelter repairing and reconstruction skills of the targeted communities. The planned activities are provision of in-kind kits for Shelter repairing and reconstruction combined with cash for labour and procurement of some local materials, conduct capacity building on building back better- shelter repairing and reconstruction, construction of demo shelters, training on protection mainstreaming, conduct discussion on Housing and Land Property (HLP) rights of the returnees with government authorities, coordinate with other actors working on HLP and closely work with the national, regional and local Protection Cluster and conduct Post distribution monitoring of shelter repairing kits and construction activities.
Emergency nutrition specific and Food Security  WaSH sensitive response for drought affected community in 12 districts located in Afar, Amhara and Oromia Regions. Plan International proposes this immediate lifesaving response project to address the immediate Nutritional needs of returnees amp their host communities in  conflict and recurrent drought affected girls, boys, women and men through extending the CMAM support in 13 districts located in Oromia (West Guji - Bule Hora amp Birbirsa Kojowa districts and West Hatrerghe Zone – Burqa Dhintu and Guba Korecha DistrictsAfar (Zone 1 - Megale, Koneba, Bidu, and Zone 2 – Korri and Aysaita Districts), Amhara (Waghemra Zone – Dehana amp Sehala, North Gonder Zone – Telemt Districts) Regions. Besides, to improve HH food security and lively hood the project will provide emergency seed for the most vulnerable HHs in selected districts of targeted intervention areas.

The major project aim is to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity among returnees amp their host communities in Birbirsa Kojowa and Bule Hora district and drought affected communities in other 11 targeted districts through maximizing and expanding geographic coverage and accesses to immediate life saving Nutrition services, Emergency Seed and promotion of Hygiene amp Sanitation services.

The Nutrition component focusses on providing life-saving treatment support to girls and boys children 6-59 months suffering from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) or Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) as well as Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) suffering from MAM. Under this outcome the project will also strengthen the local health system and build the capacity of health workers and health extension workers.  

As the WaSH situation is also critical, Plan International Ethiopia will support the local government to maximize access to Hygiene amp Sanitation through hygiene and sanitation promotion at all kebeles of the targeted intervention districts. 

Also, as the seed demand particularly in highland areas of the targeted districts is very high this project will provide emergency seed for the most vulnerable HHs located in selected districts of targeted intervention areas. This activity will be tailored with the coming meher season and will maximize HH food security as improved drought resistant varieties of seed will be provided.
IDP Emergency Response and support to the WASH Cluster in Ethiopia Due to conflict and climate induced factors, 2,049,844 people are displaced in Amhara, Oromia and Somali region according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix round 15 (March 2019). The DTM Gedeo West Guji Rapid Response Assessment from February 2019 reports an additional 619,071 IDPs in the Gedeo and West Guji zones. Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and little access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services. 

This proposal will support 300,000 IDPs and host community members in Oromia, Somali, and Amhara regions and is complementary to other interventions (i.e. procurement and distribution of NFIs) with already secured funds. The proposal has the following three components:
 
 to fund the construction of 35 emergency latrine blocks at IDP sites as well as hygiene promotion focused on AWD preparedness and early response for 300,000 IDPs and host communities
 to rehabilitate 11 non-functioning and damaged water supply infrastructures and, where possible, expand water supply infrastructure to cover IDP sites and host communities
 to fund technical support, coordination, information management and monitoring at the sub-national level in Ethiopia, especially in Somali and Oromia regions, until the end of the year.
Operational Support to Health Emergency Response in Somali region The project has three main, interlinking components. 

Disbursement of per diem payments for Somali region Regional Health Bureau (RHB) Health Workers:

UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 61 Health Workers deployed in temporary established clinics, health centers, and health posts, are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates (300 ETB). Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows the Health Workers the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, often located far from the deployment location, thus increasing the willingness of Health Workers to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is therefore a strong incentive to attract and retain Health Workers in areas here it is otherwise difficult to deploy health staff. UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in Jijiga to assist with the planning of deployment of the Health Workers, and oversee per diem payments process and conduct field monitoring.

Fleet management services for RHB allowing Health Workers visit remote/hotspot areas:

UNOPS will assign seven vehicles (SUVs and pick-ups) by using local service providers (rental companies). In order to be able to rapidly respond to health emergencies, the Health Workers need to be highly mobile. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, ensuring they meet the requirements of the emergency response in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in Jijiga for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams. In addition, the vehicles will also support the RHB’s information management function by facilitating the timely dispatch of HMIS reports from woredas with no access to internet to the zonal health offices, which in turn will submit them to the RHB.

Supply chain management services to deliver humanitarian supplies:

UNOPS will assign two 5mt trucks by using local service providers (rental companies) in order to enable the RHB, UN and NGO partners to effectively deliver humanitarian commodities across the region. These vehicles will deliver medical, WaSH, and nutrition commodities from the central warehouse in Jijiga to zonal logistics hubs, and for onward delivery to end-users in woredas. UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in Jijiga for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the humanitarian commodities.
Protection Monitoring in Areas of Return - West Guji and Gedio zones The Protection Cluster designed an inter-agency project for protection monitoring and capacity development for displacement affected communities in West Guji. UNFPA will build the capacity of woreda Women, Children and Youth Affairs offices and front line services providers in west Guji and deploy staffs to support the implementation of the project in west Guji zones of Oromia region of Ethiopia. Gedio zone humanitarian coordination will also  be supported with deployment of one zonal coordinator.
