Restoring livelihoods and revitalizing rural communities affected by mines and explosive remnants of war ltpgtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtRural households and communities affected by the conflict (through the presence of mine and ERW contamination), or the perception of such risks, have reduced or abandoned food production and livelihood related activities. The more vulnerable of these households now rely on humanitarian assistance from government and/or humanitarian actors for their survival. lt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtTo support restoration of agricultural livelihood activities in areas severely affected by the war, WFP and FAO will jointly implement an integrated project following a three-step process.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltp class="" style=""gtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltolgtltligtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtltspan style="text-indent: -18pt"gtFAO, together with local administrations and national actors and technical support from an international surveying and mapping service, will ensure transparent targeting, identification and selection criteria. This will ensure that the project reaches the most war-affected small-sized farmers, including but not limited to grain, vegetables, fruit and dairy production and local food producers with a prioritization on impacting livelihoods.lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/ligtltligtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtWFP will work with its partner FSD to carry out comprehensive assessments including non-technical and technical surveys, clearing of unexploded ordnance, demining of agricultural land, as well as spot clearance of critical agricultural and food systems infrastructure with the goal to clear land for rural resident families. WFP will work with FSD to train more people on demining work thus allowing faster clearance of land in the selected locations. In addition,ltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gt lt/spangtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtExplosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) will be conducted to teach local communities safe behaviors to prevent accidents, identifylt/spangtltspan lang="EN-US" open="" style=""gt lt/spangtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtand timely report ERW through established channels so that families can farm safely. lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/ligtltligtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtWhere possible, reinstated access to land will be augmented by additional linkages to WFP and FAO programmes to ensure durability of the action. Engagement with FAO on the provision of agricultural inputs, access to finance, and linkages with WFP procurement and markets as soon as production returns will present an integrated pathway to durable recovery for rural communities.lt/spangtlt/ligtltp class="" style=""gtltspan lang="EN-US" style=""gtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtlt/olgtltp class="sceditor-nlf"gtThis application will be part of the larger WFP  FAO Ukraine project which aims at restoring and stabilizing access to land wltspan lang="EN-US"gthile sustaining and growing local food systems. The project total estimated value is some USD 100,000,000 will aim to survey 80 percent of potentially affected small-scale farmers in targeted oblasts and demine around half of these farmers’ land which may be contaminated with mines or unexploded ordnance. ltbrgtltbrgtThis application focuses on interventions to be implemented by WFP and its sub-partner only. The overall objective to enhance access to land and to food.ltbrgtltbrgt ltspan style="line-height: 120%" lang="EN-US"gtThe emphasis will be on oblasts that have the most direct link to food systems programming and are known to be heavily mined. Identified target areas are Kharkiv (1st priority), Mykolaiv and Kherson oblasts given that they have been at the center of the war and have a high share of small-scale agricultural production. The geographic scope can vary depending on government authorization to carry out such activities. WFP, FAO and partners will remain flexible and adjust their presence depending on the oscillating frontline and security considerations.ltbrgt[REV] The additional allocation will allow to set up a temporary office in Mykolaiv to coordinate the delivery of lifesaving assistance to Kakhovka dam flood-affected communities. WFP will use the resources to procure inflatable boats, engines or air pumps required to conduct deliveries to difficult to reach areas. These assets will be utilized by local partners in Mykolaivska and Khersonska to enhance their capacity for humanitarian response going forward. In addition, WFP will mobilize all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) which have been pre-ordered by another WFP operation and provided to WFP Ukraine for a short duration of time before being exported out of Ukraine. The usage will be charged proportionally to the expected duration of the emergency response.ltbrgtlt/spangtlt/spangtlt/pgt
