Provision of emergency lifesaving WASH response packages to drought-affected IDPs in Deynile District of Banadir region, Somalia ltpgtltpgtThe number of people affected by
drought has more than doubled since the beginning of 2022. As per the 2023 HNO,
drought-induced displacement has increased fivefold since the beginning of 2022
with more than 1.3 million people displaced. Five regions including Banadir
have received the biggest numbers of newly displaced people. About 95 percent
live in urban areas where humanitarian conditions are dire and where spikes in
displacement have strained the capacity of the humanitarian system to cope. The
displaced have joined newly formed IDP sites or existing over-crowded
settlements further putting immense pressure on the limited basic services.lt/pgt

ltpgtTo respond to the crisis, prevent
further displacement, and avert the risk of famine in Mogadishu IDPs,
PAH aims to deliver a life-saving WASH response that reduces acute WASH
needs among most vulnerable IDPs including men, women, boys, and girls in
a dignified manner in compliance with cluster response minimum
standards. In line with the WASH cluster and SHF, standard allocation 1,
2023, priorities the project will deliver WASH assistance to 14,286 IDPs
(2,857 men, 3,857 women, 3,286 boys, 4,286 girls),
including 2143 people with disability will directly benefit from this
intervention.lt/pgt

ltpgtltbrgtPAH will focus on both immediate and
sustainable intervention that includes:ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgt

ltpgt-improved access to safe water to
2,381 households by engaging community-owned boreholes to provide
water to drought and conflict-affected IDP settlements in Banadir region,
particularly Deynile district. This intervention is required due to the
scarcity of safe water, increased water prices caused by the continued drought,
and the additional influx of IDPs. PAH will carry out the construction of new
water infrastructures equipped with appropriate storage systems, tanks, and
distribution networks, provision of spare parts (pipes and generators),
establishment and capacity development of gender-balanced water management
committees, for ensuring the continuity of WASH services, and water treatment
and monitoring (chlorination of communal water sources/HHWT).lt/pgt

ltpgt-Installation of 150 new
sanitation facilities in IDP sites ONLY that is culturally appropriate safe for
users of all ages and gender, and accessible to persons with disability
equipped with handwashing facilities (at least 15% of facilities (23) should be
accessible to PwDs). PAH will undertake a safe traditional desludging
activity targeting both new and existing latrines constructed by PAH as
well as other partners in Deynille IDP Camps.ltbrgtThrough engaging casual workers, a septic tank will be dug near the latrine pit for emptying PAH will ensure the
environmental aspects related to latrine desludging adhere and the Casual
workers will be equipped with tools to undertake the desludging activity (wheelbarrow,
spade, Soap, buckets) and protective gears provided for safety purposes. lt/pgt
