Provision of Emergency WASH Services for the Most Vulnerable IDPs  Host Community in Abs District- Hajja Governorate The ongoing armed conflict in Yemen has caused tens of thousands of civilian casualties and displaced over 4 million people, making Yemen one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises and aid operations. According to Yemen HNO-2022, It is estimated that 17.8 million people require support to meet basic WASH needs in 2022.
Abs is considered one of the most prioritized districts for urgent humanitarian intervention and thus is listed in the  listed in the YHF 1st allocation - second priorities and thus, a rapid needs assessment was conducted by QC in collaboration with QARWSP-Hajja after coordinating with Hajja's WASH Sub-cluster. 
It was found that IDPs and host communities in the targeted areas have difficult access to adequate and clean drinking water due to the absence of functioning water supply systems. Women and children must travel long distances on their feet//donkeys to fetch water, and due to such, many children drop out school. In the IDPs sites, many families do not have latrines of any kind. In addition, residents have poor hygienic practices.
All the proposed activities will be implemented for Salhba water project located in Albataria sub-district amp Fadhaya ampAlsaqf water project located in Matwala sub-district, both water projects in Abs District – Hajja governorate.
The project, through a package of emergency WASH services, aims at alleviating the dire WASH conditions of 1525 households (2014 men, 2197women, 2381 boys, 2564 girls). Of them, 1018 households (533 IDPs, 485 HC) are located in Matwala sub-district, while 507 households (198 IDPs, 309 HC) are located in Albataria sub-district in Abs district.
The project will achieve its outcomes and outputs by implementing a full package of emergency WASH activities within a timeline of 12 months.
The project intends to provide 1018 of the most vulnerable households in Matwala sub-district with sustainable access for adequate and clean drinking water through rehabilitating the Alsaqf water supply system by installing a solar pumping system and constructing a concrete tower tank. Communal water points will be built at the sites of IDPs and fed with local water networks. Similarly, 507 of the most vulnerable households in Albataria sub-district will ensure sustained access to a water source by rehabilitating Salhaba water supply system by installing a water desalination unit as well as installing water network that efficiently can fetch water to IDPs sites and host community households. The operationality and management of the two rehabilitated water supply systems will be the direct responsibility of two established water management committees which will be trained to do so.
To ensure access of the targeted people to a safe and sanitated environment inside and outside their IDPs sites and households, the project will implement the activities of building safe and proper family latrines, conducting solid waste collection and disposal campaigns, and also conducting community-led cleaning campaigns. Personal hygienic knowledge, attitudes, and practices will also be ensured through distributing hygiene kits as well as delivering health and hygiene awareness sessions. The protection mainstreaming will include building specifically-designed latrines for PWDs, ensuring separate queues when distributing HKs, selecting 50% female community volunteers etc. As part of the accountability to affected people, the project will ensure that lists of beneficiaries have been prepared based on fair selection criteria, this will be done by conducting verification field visits by MampE team.  In addition, the project will establish a very effective complaints amp feedback mechanism to receive the complaints of the affected people. Any recorded complaints related to GBV will immediately be addressed. 
At the end of the project, there will be a comprehensive endline survey to measure the effectiveness, relevance, sustainability, and satisfaction of the affected people towards the impleme
