Enhancing Local Capacity for Emergency Response and Assistance in Multi-Dimensional Crises through a People-Led Humanitarian Action Approach ltpgtMon State in Myanmar is an area renowned for its natural beauty and rich history. Unfortunately, national conflicts have severely impacted many residents, creating challenges. This proposed project aims to assist those most affected, specifically people living in conflict-impacted villages. It will support individuals across several villages, including men, women, and children of all ages, who are facing the dangers of conflict and the hardships of daily life in an unstable environment.ltbrgtThe project will focus on four key sectors: (i) Health, (ii) Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), (iii)Shelter/Non-Food Items (NFI)/Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), and (iv) protection. It will target 31 villages in Kyaikmaraw Township, Mon State. In these communities, an estimated 3,725 households (approximately 14,973 people) lack essential resources such as healthcare, shelter, hygiene supplies, and protection services.ltbrgtOur project prioritizes the urgent needs of conflict-affected families, aligning with the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund (MHF) prioritization matrix. By concentrating on Health, Shelter/NFI/CCCM, WASH, and Protection sectors, the project ensures a comprehensive response to the crisis. The strategic allocation of resources dedicates 88% of the budget to primary needs in health, shelter, and WASH, while 12% is allocated to essential protection services.ltbrgtThe requested funding will be used to implement a comprehensive humanitarian assistance program addressing the multidimensional needs of the conflict-affected communities in Mon State. The specific allocations are as follows:lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtHealth:ltbrgt Provision of Clean Delivery Kits: Essential items for safe childbirth to improve maternal and neonatal health.ltbrgt Incentives for Midwives: Support for antenatal (AN) and postnatal (PN) care services to ensure continued maternal health support.ltbrgt Repair of WASH Facilities in Healthcare Centers: Major and minor repairs to improve sanitation, reduce infection rates, and ensure a safe environment for patients and healthcare workers.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtWASH:ltbrgt Distribution of Baby WASH Kits: Providing hygiene kits to 310 households to promote proper infant care and hygiene.ltbrgt Training of Trainers (ToT) for Baby WASH: Educating staff and community volunteers on Baby WASH practices to improve hygiene among pregnant and lactating women (PLW).ltbrgt Awareness Sessions: Conducting sessions for 930 PLWs and caretakers to spread knowledge about infant hygiene and health.ltbrgt Child WASH and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) Sessions: Educating young girls on personal hygiene and menstrual health, essential for their well-being.ltbrgt Assignment of Community Mobilizers: Facilitating WASH activities, ensuring progress, and monitoring the impact.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtShelter/NFI/CCCM:ltbrgt Cash or In-Kind Assistance for Shelter Renovation: Providing financial or material support to 310 households for shelter renovation.ltbrgt Bamboo Shelter ToT Training: Training 62 participants and 8 local leaders in bamboo shelter construction, promoting sustainable building practices.ltbrgt Distribution of Bamboo Shelter Kits: Providing essential materials for constructing bamboo shelters to improve emergency housing.ltbrgt Emergency Response Team (ERT) Capacity Building ToT Trainingltbrgt Provision of ERT Toolkits: Supplying emergency response equipment to 31 villages to improve community preparedness.ltbrgtltbrgtProtection:ltbrgtlt/pgtltulgtltligtAwareness Sessions on GBV, MHPSS, EORE and PSEA  : Conducting sessions for 930 participants to promote safety, mental health, and protection against sexual exploitation and abuse.lt/ligtltligtltspangtAssignment of Community Mobilizers: Supporting and monitoring protection activities to ensure the safety and well-being of vulnerable populations.lt/spangtlt/ligtltligtltspangtDistribution of Dignity Kits: Providing 620 HHs with dignity kits to ensure personal hygiene and dignity in crisis conditions. lt/spangtltspangtThrough strategic allocation of resources and alignment with MHF priorities, it aims to assist vulnerable populations, ensuring dignity, safety, and improved living conditions amidst adversity.lt/spangtlt/ligtlt/ulgtltpgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtlt/pgt
