Improving Access to Lifesaving and Sustaining Education to Droughts and Conflict Affected Out-of-School Children (Boys and Girls) in Balcad and Jowhar Districts, Middle Shabelle Region, Somalia This project is designed to respond to the effects of the ongoing droughts on school-aged children in nine schools Balcad and Jowhar Districts of Middle Shabelle Region, Somalia.
The project targets schools that are the verge of closure due to lack of teachers' incentives, and supply of basic teaching and learning. The situation is further exacerbated by lack of water and hunger that were set in by the droughts that are currently ravaging the country. The project targets nine existing schools, two in Balcad (in rural Balcad and one in town) and seven in rural villages of Jowhar. The schools which have a total enrollment of 3000 (40% girls) learners, will be targeted for water supply and school feeding program. Further, the project targets the schools for supply of teaching and learning material, payment of teachers' incentives, teacher training, capacity development of CECs and hygiene promotion. The project aims to keep learners in schools and access basic education services at where they are rather than moving to other centers to seek for them same services and exert pressure on schools in urban centers like Balcad and Jowhar. The project will leverage existing school infrastructure in both districts and availability of trained teachers in Jowhar.   

To ensure the sustainability of the proposed intervention, Aid Vision will build the capacities of the schools’ Community Education Committees on school management, community mobilization and fund raising. Focus will be put on community engagement by the committees in order to raise resources internally to support school activities like payment of teachers and purchase of basic teaching and learning materials after end of the project life. As part of the Community Education Committee training, Aid Vision will help in community action planning which will focus on sustainability of schools.
Provision of equitable access to Emergency and lifesaving integrated health care services to vulnerable host communities, internally displaced population and returnees through fixed and mobile facilities in Dhusamareb Districts, Galgadud region. This project is designed to deliver lifesaving emergency health services including maternal, neonatal and child health through a fixed and mobile health facility targeting women, men, girls and boys from IDP settlements and vulnerable host communities. The project will deliver lifesaving emergency health services including maternal, neonatal and child health through 2 static and 2 mobile health facilities to meet the needs of both host communities and IDPs that are recovering from the effects of persistent droughts and armed conflicts in the district of Dhusamareb in Galgadud region. 
.The health facilities of Dhusamareb  and GuriEl supported by New ways with this project , will provide skilled deliveries, consultation and treatment of both under and over fives for common illnesses, immunization services, early detection and treatment of communicable diseases.
The project will benefit 34,000 which include 16,320 women,10,880 men, 3,400 boys and 3,400 girls that include both vulnerable host communities and IDPs, who will benefit from services delivered by qualified and skilled health personnel that would provide antenatal, post natal and safe delivery to PLWs, as well as treatment of common illnesses promoting health seeking behavior. New ways mobile teams of this project will refer complicated and risky pregnancies to new ways fixed health facility which provides CEmOC services supported by UNFPA. The project is going to support the health facility of Dhusamareb  where  New ways already operate with various activities including ANC and PNC , IRT (HIV/AIDs program) with the support of UNICEF and Cemoc service supported by UNFPA though an MOU with FG MoH. This, lifesaving  integrated, health project will strengthen the  health service  through support to the staff already operating in the sector  as well as recruiting more staff for the health facility in Dhusamareb as well as extending the same support to starlin hospital in Guri El which is a referral hospital , where cesarean section is also performed, admitting complicated pregnancies which are regularly referred from the southern part of the district and beyond.
Livestock-Based livelihood support to cyclone affected communities in Baki and Zeila districts of Awdal region, Somaliland To contribute to recovery and promote resilience of the target communities from the loss of livelihood assets, Candlelight will distribute 5000 goats and sheep to improve household nutrition and rebuild livelihood of vulnerable communities in Baki and Zeilac districts of Awdal region of Somaliland. Atleast 415 vulnerable households (Approximately 3000 individuals) including women headed households, the elderly, sick and displaced will be selected for assistance together with the community elders. This project is part of efforts to restore livelihoods and combat critical levels of food insecurity and malnutrition in areas affected by the cyclone sagar. These shocks led to loss of livelihood assets and triggered the displacement of many people in the region. 

The shoats will be procured locally through a tendering process. This will boost the local economy. Distributions will target both pastoral and agro-pastoral households with each household receiving 10 animals (9 lactating and 1 male). Animal restocking will be crucial for the benefit of women for whom goats play a major role for the household nutrition security through the provision of milk and a source of revenue to address other household challenges. For purposes of sustainability, Candlelight project staff will ensure that goats distributed meet specifications of good health, weight and breeding performance. This will contribute to sustainability and provide long term livelihood support to communities

The goats will be complimented by Unconditional Cash transfer to the 415 households for a period of 3 months. The rates of 80 USD are based on the cash working group rates for full Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) as published in September 2018. These may however slightly change up/ downwards. Part of the cash will be used for food and the balance used for non-food items including the care and maintenance of the restocked animals for initial three-four months.

Candlelight will also work with FAO to secure supplements blocks for the distributed animals. Each household will be provided with atleast 10 kg of feeds. Distribution of these supplementary blocks will be based on availability from FAO

Candlelight will also distribute atleast 5000 multi-purpose tress such as Ziziphus mauritiana (Gob), azadirachta indica (Neem) and Leucaena Leucocephala (Leucaena). These trees will provide fodder for the goats, living fence posts for gardens, fruits among other uses.
Emergency support to improve health condition to drought/AWD affected IDPs and host communities in Belet Weyne district through Reliable Safe Water Sources and Promote Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene practices. Under this project, WARDI proposes to improve access to safe water, sanitation facilities and services and promote good hygiene practices in an effort to improve the health status of 25,200 drought/AWD affected communities and internally displaced men, women, boys and girls in Belet Weyne  district of Hiran region of south Somalia. Lack of access to safe and adequate water and sanitation facilities coupled with poor hygiene knowledge and practices puts these communities at risk for waterborne diseases and loss of life. Key activities that WARDI would like to implement in the target locations include: 
WATER: Provision of life saving water through rehabilitation of 30 shallow wells (25 with hand pumps, 2 with pump powered with generator and 3 with pump powered with solar) construction of 4 water kiosks supplied water through piping system rehabilitation of Osman Bin Afan orphanage center WASH facilities, capacity building training to 28 WASH committees and well 56 operators on operation and maintenance. 
SANITATION: To improve the sanitation of the IDP camps and schools WARDI will construct 6 twin block latrines in Bidhaan school and an Orphanage center construct 205 IDP latrines install 4 FSM sites and systems and finally distribute 52 sanitation sets to 13 IDP camps in Belet Weyne town.
HYGIENE: WARDI will train 20 Community Mobilizers to carry out comprehensive hygiene promotion campaign to educate the community better hygiene promotion practices including hand washing with soap practices through visiting house-to-house, schools, feeding/nutrition centers and health centers in this project, UNICEF will supply from regional supply hub1000 hygiene kits and WARDI will distribute the kits to 1000 households and IDPs who are at risk of AWD/cholera and malnutrition diseases 
The proposed response took into consideration the impact of the drought on women, and children in terms of access to WASH services it proposed specific actions to prevent risk of gender based violence and hence will contribute to greater gender equality.
Project Title: Provision of Education in Emergency Response for displacement affected populations in Hudur Town of Bakool region. Recurring conflicts and drought have displaced thousands of households in Bakool villages to Hudur town. In addition, AS encirclement of the town has further deteriorated the humanitarian situation in Hudur. According to Inter-agency assessment led by OCHA conducted in Hudur, there are only seven functional community schools with an enrolment of 3150 learners (1270 girls). Further, 28000 persons of displaced live in congested 15 IDPs in Hudur town. According to the regional education officer from the ministry of Education at federal level, there are an estimated of 7200 school aged children in the host community whereas another 6072 school aged children reside in the 15 congested IDP settlements in Hudur town. In addition, 4 of the existing community schools in the host community are close to the IDPs settlements in Hudur and their current enrollment is 1840 Students (940 male amp 900). These 4 primary schools need three extra temporary learning spaces with school furniture’s to accommodate new enrolment from the nearby IDPs. The target 4 community schools currently have 26 teachers and there is need to recruit 5 more teachers in Hudur and Bulow schools. 31 teachers in the 4 schools and 28 CECs will be trained on respective training modules to strengthen their knowledge and skills to run the schools and this will help the sustainability of the schools. None of the IDPs have schools, however, 4 community schools in Hudur are close and children from the IDPs can access these schools if the proper support provided to these schools. Moreover, the existing community schools are poorly resourced, shortage of classrooms to accommodate new enrolment, teachers lack appropriate teaching experience, shortage of teaching and learning materials, limited community support and lack of safe drinking water. Many IDP families cannot afford to pay schools and due to their poverty situation, education is their least priority. BREC has been working in HUDUR since 2001 and since then implemented education projects targeting the current existing schools. There is dire need to support IDP school aged children and poor vulnerable host community to have access to protective learning environment. Such interventions will help both IDP and host community children to be protected from risks. BREC proposes to support 4 existing functional schools in Hudur which are close to the IDP settlements in Hudur. 1100 school age children (800 IDP children) of whom 500 are girls will be enrolled in the four schools and provided with school uniform.
First Line CCCM Response for IDP Settlements in Nugaal Region- Somalia Since November 2016, an extended drought has been affecting Somalia, leaving 6.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Large-scale famine has been averted so far but the drought has had devastating effects on livelihoods. As a result, large scale displacements are on the rise with over 2 million IDPs currently living in informal sites, half of whom have fled their homes in 2017. Consequently, there is an urgent need improve coordination and service delivery at site level while addressing protection needs in camp settings.

In this context, ACTED will implement a multi cluster intervention aiming at 1) improving the coordination and information management at site level and 2) mainstreaming protection through sensitization and creation of proper referral pathways for vulnerable individuals, including victims of SGBV, minors, people with disabilities and the elderly.

ACTED will implement these activities in 24 IDP sites in Garowe and Burtinle districts in Nuugal, targeting a largely undeserved area. Approximately 46,961 people (7,827 households) will benefit from this intervention, in addition to the community working in these 5 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.
Provision of emergency  life-saving primary health care service and  Nutrition interventions to internally displaced persons and drought affected host communities   in Badhaade district Lower Juba  region The project is to provide emergency life-saving emergency primary health and Nutrition services to 19,100 people (Nutrition: 2500 Boys, 2900 Girls and 2000 PLW/ Health: 3000 Boys, 4200 Girls, 3000 Women, 1500 men) drought affected direct beneficiaries in Badhaade district, through the provision of three (3) mobile clinics and one MCH as well as 6 OTP mobile/outreach and two static Nutrition OTP services. Emphasis will be on maternal, neonatal and child health including emergency immunization to the host communities and Internally Displaced People (IDPs) as well as treatment of severe acute malnutrition. This action will focus on provision of both preventive and curative health and nutrition services at primary level integrated with Nutrition activities that are undertaken by SA. Building the capacity of health workers through training on integrated management of childhood illness (IMCI), community case management (CCM)  as well as  cholera and measles management training and basic obstetric care training that  will be conducted  to equip health workers with the required skills to deliver quality health care services to the affected population as well as capacity building of nutrition staff on IMAM/IYCF services, infants young child feeding best practices (IYCF), Nutrition, health and hygiene promotion (NHHP) as well as conduct caregivers infant and young child feeding practices (IYCF) promotion session for better information dissemination to the caregivers in the project area. Referral of malnourished children with complicated cases will be done to the Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) centers integrated with primary health care services managed by SA and other actors in the Badhaade lower Juba region. The proposed response took into consideration the impact of the drought/AWD/cholera affected women, and children in terms of access to Health and Nutrition services. The OTP sites will be provide with clean drinking water and appetite test that will be able to ensure proper basic nutrition services delivery in the target sites. To ensure proper services delivery at the static MCH and OTP in Kolbio,Hosingo and Waraq Southern aid will procure chairs and tables for the beneficiaries at shades and waiting bays sites.
SA with the technical guidance of Federal ministry of health, UNICEF and WHO as well as the health and nutrition Cluster will also integrate surveillance and emergency preparedness in the program so that enough steps are taken in ensuring early response to both health and nutrition cases. Finally, SA will coordinate with Health and Nutrition clusters to coordinate response activities for maximum impact to beneficiaries in the targeted project.SA shall also coordinates with other local actors in the target district to enable avoid any duplication of services as well work in a coordinated manner to enable increase access to life-saving  emergency response in the areas
Shelter NFI  provision and prepositioning in Hiraan This is a Lifesaving Response and Preparedness to Flood-Prone Areas in Hiraan. DRC proposes prepositioning of basic non-food items (NFIs) and Emergency shelter kits (ESK) to benefit IDPs in Hiraan Region (Beletweyne, Jalalaqsi and Buloburto districts). This project consists of two key activities: procurement and transport of emergency shelter materials (pipeline) and later distribution to most vulnerable newly displaced IDPs. DRC understands that internal displacement is the key driver of humanitarian needs in Somalia. Many IDPs are currently residing in urban and peri-urban informal crowded settlements, with insufficient access to basic services and poor shelter conditions that raise protection and health concerns. They remain in need of Shelter and NFIs support for protection from harsh climatic conditions, overall improvements to their living conditions and improvement to their chances to access livelihoods and durable solutions. Evidence from the JMCNA 2018 data that was collected in 58 districts in Somalia show that 80% of the IDPs live in makeshift shelters, temporary emergency shelters, tents, or under trees 35% reported damage to their shelters in the last three months 70% reported that the shelters they live in have no internal separation 16% reported thefts from their shelters and 80% were NFI vulnerable. Out of the 2.6 million IDPs in Somalia, 2.3 million can be concluded to be in need of humanitarian shelter assistance.
Increased rainfall since the beginning of April has resulted in a sharp rise in the Shabelle and Juba rivers, leading to severe flooding in southern and central Somalia. Almost 700,000 people have been affected by flooding in riverine and flood-prone areas, including over 214,200 people who have been displaced (OCHA, 02/05/2018 OCHA, 02/05/2018 ECHO, 26/04/2018 Africa News, 02/05/2018). Beledweyne district (Hiraan region) has been particularly affected, with 150,000 people displaced in Beledweyne town. In Hiran, DRC will preposition ESK and NFIs for three districts – Baletweyne, Bulo Burto and Jalalaqsi. DRC will target 5450 households (32,400 people) with ESK and NFI as detailed (3950 households with NFIs, 1500 households with ESK) in terms of district breakdown, DRC will target 25000 people in Beletweyne, 5000 people in Bulo Burto and 2400 people in Jalalaqsi. The targeting is based on need and picking the highest beneficiaries in Beletweyne district whcih is the most afftected (OCHA Somalia Flash Update 7 - June 2018).
Providing access to sustained water, sanitation and hygiene services for vulnerable populations in Sool and Sanaag regions, Somalia The humanitarian situation in Northern Somalia in 2018 remains fragile due to residual impact of drought, Cyclone Sagar, conflict and ongoing displacement. While the risk of famine has reduced, humanitarian needs remain high, with extreme water and pasture shortages reported in rainfall deficit areas of Bari, Nugaal, Sool and Sanaag regions. Water scarcity in Sool and Sanaag regions has reached a precarious level, affecting the health of the most vulnerable people and causing occasional resource-based clan conflicts. With only a third of the population having access to improved sanitation, poor hygiene practices (including frequent open defecation) are prevalent, contributing to incidences of water-borne diseases. Consequently, there is an urgent need to improve WASH service delivery at district level. 

In this context, ACTED will implement a WASH cluster-specific intervention aiming to 1) Provide reliable and sustained access to sufficient safe water, based on identified strategic water points 2) Establish an appropriate system for the management and maintenance of facilities, with different groups contributing equitably and 3) Enhance community sanitation and hygiene awareness. 

ACTED will implement these activities in Taleex district of Sool region, and Erigavo and Dararweyne districts of Sanaag region, targeting a highly vulnerable and largely undeserved area. Approximately 15,000 people (2,500 households) will benefit from this intervention, in addition to creating synergies for improved coordination among WASH stakeholders in the area, including local authorities, clusters and other NGOs. These numbers might vary due to external factors such as the drought, which might attract more IDPs, or escalation of conflict, which may cause communities to flee to other areas.
Integrated Lifesaving treatment and prevention of acute malnutrition among children under five and pregnant and lactating women in Hargeisa IDPs and Gebiley district of Waqooyi Galbeed  Regions The nutrition situation in Waqooyi Galbeed Gabiley district continues to be serious and may deteriorate further without humanitarian assistance. Past deyr 2017 FSNAU reports indicated that Woqooyi Galbeed region has high caseloads of acute malnourished children, with estimated caseloads of 15,860. From the total caseloads estimated in Woqooyi Gelbeed , 3520 were severely malnourished with higher risk of medical complications and death. Despite high cases of children with acute malnutrition in this area, access to life saving nutrition services were very limited with just 23% in Woqooyi Galbeed reported access to nutrition services. To address this situation, Save the Children will improve access and provide nutrition services to children aged 0 to 59 months and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) with acute malnutrition through detection, treatment and referral of complicated cases to the stabilization centers. Priority activities will include: Training of Community Volunteers in the identification and referral of malnutrition cases, and mothers trained in mother-led MUAC to enlarge coverage with close monitoring from Save the Children to prevent wrong referrals and ensure quality of the screening and understanding of the community Provision of Outpatient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) services for children aged 6-59 months with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) for Moderately Acute Malnourished children (MAM) and PLW through mobile outreach teams reaching 23 sites  3 MCHN and 20 mobile sites with integrated OTP/TSFP/IYCF programs. The teams will refer children aged 0-59 months identified with SAM coupled with medical complication, and SAM infants aged under 6 months with or without medical complications to the nearest stabilization center (Borama or Hargeisa). The proposed nutrition project is mainly targeting Hargeisa IDPs and Gabiley district of the Woqooyi Galbeed which are areas mostly affected and displaced by the drought in Somaliland. This project also promotes and supports optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding practices through the screening of breastfeeding difficulties amongst mothers of children under two years of age, provision of one to one counselling for mothers and caretakers with difficulties with regards to Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and raising awareness of caregivers and relatives on the importance of appropriate IYCF. 

At the end of the project, the project will reach directly a total of 4,865 (1,829 Boys, 1,830 Girls and 1,206 PLW) children and women with acute malnutrition. In addition, a total of 23,165 (Female 21,776, Men 1,389) will be reached with key IYCF messages in the targeted area. Another 3,245 individuals will also be targeted through trainings and capacity development.
