Provision of emergency life-saving WASH response services to people at risk of famine in Kahda District, Banadir region. ltpgtltspan style="font-size: 14px text-align: justify"gtForecasts of an unprecedented,
fifth below-average rainfall season during the October to December 2022 deyr
season in Somalia came to pass due to the emergence of the negative Indian
Ocean Dipole alongside persistent La Niña conditions. These climate conditions
mirror that of 2010 and 2016. This has raised extreme concern for a sixth consecutive
season of poor rains. As a result, averting Famine (IPC Phase 5) will hinge on
the delivery of large-scale and sustained humanitarian assistance. The
Protracted drought has claimed the lives and livelihoods of many. An estimated
8.25 million people require humanitarian assistance.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtThis situation has occasioned large
displacement of people raising the number of people requiring humanitarian
assistance to 8.25 million with 1.6 million of those in urban centres.
Approximately 365,000 people are newly displaced. lt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtCPD is proposing to implement a
project providingltspan style="font-family: Arial,"gt lt/spangtemergency life-saving WASH response services to a total
of 15,000 people affected by the drought and are at risk of famine in Kahda
District, Banadir region. The intervention will involve improving access to
adequate, safe drinking water supply that meets the minimum recommended amount
for a household facing emergencies (7.5–15 litres per day as per SPHERE
Standards). The project's approach is aimed at scaling up the drought response
in the IDP camps in Kahda where the situation is rapidly worsening due to the
influx of IDPs displaced by the drought conditions in other districts and whose
presence is adding pressure on the already strained WASH services in the
existing camps.lt/pgt

ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gt lt/pgt

ltpgtThe project will involve the construction of 60m³
elevated water tanks for ltbgtGaargarlt/bgt and ltbgtJanaalelt/bgt boreholes. ltspan style="font-family: Arial,"gt4no. water kiosks will be constructed to serve as
water points in the three  IDP camp centres of Doolaawe (in
Wacayseed and Kabtuur IDP camps), Ikhlaas (in Diram IDP camp), and Dubeey
(in Mushaani IDP camp).lt/spangt



 An OM training will be provided to 10 operators of the two
boreholes for better management. Distribution piping extension of 2.5 km will be
provided from ltbgtGaargarlt/bgt and ltbgtJanaalelt/bgt boreholes to IDP camps supplying the 4 water kiosks. CPD also proposes to construct 220 no. latrines for the newly arrived
IDPS in the targeted camps in Kahda. 40 Hygiene Promotion volunteers will be
identified in collaboration with the camps leadership and given the Hygiene
Promotion requisite training before being deployed in the camps to lead the
camp residents in carrying out hygiene promotion activities, including camp
cleaning, through planned sessions in the respective camps. With the
involvement of the camp leadership and the hygiene promotion volunteers, CPD
will identify 1,500 vulnerable women and girls who will be provided with
hygiene kits which CPD intends to acquire from the Regional Supply Hub in
consultation with the WASH cluster secretariat.lt/pgt






ltp style="text-align:justify" class="MsoNormal"gtThese activities will be done in liaison with the CCM, Health, Nutrition and Protection clusters to ensure the response from all these cluster are integrated for maximum positive impact on the newly arrived IDPs in Kahda.lt/pgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtltbrgtlt/pgt
