Community based protection systems for IDPs and Host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali Regional State In May and June 2018, renewed violence between the Borana (Oromo) and Garre (Somali) communities has led to internal displacement of more than 1.1 million people and protection concerns. Many of the displaced people reside in Hudet (70,203), and Moyale (153,750) woredas and the vast majority are women and children who are generally subjected to high protection risks and psychosocial problems. 
Under this project Save the Children aims to address the protection and psychosocial concerns of children and families through strengthening community based child protection mechanisms and psychosocial interventions. The project will be implemented for six months in twenty IDP sites and host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali regional State. The project will directly target 23,617 children (G= 12139, B= 11,478) and 7,070 adults (F= 3,535 M =3,535) through child protection and psychosocial interventions.
The project will enable children and youth to access safe play and edutainment services by establishing child and youth friendly spaces (CampYFS) in IDP sites and facilitating on going interactive programs. It will enhance children’s and youth’s capacity to positively address the challenges they face in their daily life through organizing regular resilience building sessions for children, youth and their care providers. The project will build capacities of relevant government sectors offices to identify and respond to protection concerns of children and facilitate case management and Family Tracing and Reunification services. Save the Children will create community-based violence prevention and mitigation systems through establishing community-based child protection structures in the IDP sites and host communities. It will also raise the awareness of communities on child protection issues including issues of sexual violence, early marriage and abduction through organizing regular community conversation sessions, mass awareness raising events and peer to peer education programs. Further the project will mainstream child protection in governmental and non-governmental actors operating in the targeted woredas through Minimum Standard for Child protection in Humanitarian Action trainings. It will also build their capacity on Psychological First Aid (PFA) through organizing PFA trainings.
Life Saving WASH Response for Conflict induced IDPs in Gedeo-Guji Zones According to the 2018 HRDP, most of the 2017 humanitarian needs were carried over into 2018 given insufficient recovery opportunities, rising food levels and the lack of sustainable sources of livelihood. The situation is further exacerbated by the continued large-scale displacement due to ethic violence as well as flooding and communicable disease outbreaks such as Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) and measles. As a result to these humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia 7.88 million people need food assistance whereas 8.49 million people are in need of none food assistance. Despite the ongoing effort to address the humanitarian crisis, Ethiopia is still dealing with residual effects of recurrent drought and conflicts. The recent inter-communal tensions between Gedeo and Guji communities has led to a new wave of large-scale displacement along the borders of SNNPR-Oromia Regions. Along these borders of Gedeo and West Guji zones the number of IDPs reach up to 818,250 individuals. This newly triggered conflict, has pushed the number of IDPs in the country up to 1.77million that are located in 1000 sites. 

World Vision Ethiopia (WVE), as a humanitarian actor, is planning to respond to this humanitarian crisis by integrating with its already existing development programs in the proposed area. The overall objective of this project is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to the newly triggered inter-communal conflict along the border of West Guji and Gedeo zones with WASH interventions. The targeted three woredas are Kochere in SNNPR and Gelana and Bule Hora in Oromia accordingly 
In kochere Woreda WVE will address 15002 IDPs in the camps of Fiseha Genet Town where 7758 IDPs settled and IDPs settled in Chelelektu Town where a total of 7244 IDPs settled in19 camps ]. These camps are Cheleleqtu 02 kebele office, Cheleleqtu 01 kebele office, Hiwot Birhan, Watatoch maikel, Kalehiwot church, Firdbet maikel ,Eseyas Sorso. Hibret sira, Orthodox church, Hawariyat, Zerihun lema, Junior school, Asebimil Ben, Public servis ina menaharia,  Worku maikel,  Ershana tefetro habt office,  Insisa ena asa habt office,  Mulu wengel church,  Abreham Duket fabrica.
 
In Bule Hora woreda WVE will address 15603 IDPs (10803IDPs amp 4800 host community members) in  Bule hora 02, Gerba 01 and Gerbas 02 kebeles that are settled at  Mora Bulchinsa Godinaa, Gerba 01  and Gerba 02 IDP sites respectively. 

In Gelana WVE will address the IDPs in the collective centers of Jirme,  Samalo, Tore, Tore town and Wacu kebeles which hosts a total of 7426 IDPs at Mume, Bufata Samalo, Malka Allati,  Tore badiyya, Galma bulchinsa,Tore elementary school and Bufrata Wacu collective sites respectively.

As part of life saving activity, this project seeks to address the acute sanitation need  through construction of sanitation and hand washing facilities, hygiene campaigns and distribution of WASH NFIs. This project will be implemented coordinating with other potential actors and the national WASH cluster.
Emergency Nutrition Response in two Woredas of Liben Zone, Somali Region and three Woredas of North Gonder, Amhara Region. The proposed project will provide emergency Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) support to Filtu and Kersa Dula woredas in Liben Zone, Somali region, for a period of 3 months, and East Belasa, Kinfaz  Begela and Janamora woredas of North Gonder, Amhara Region for a period of 3 months. Concern will build the capacity of Ministry of Health (MoH) through strengthen existing Therapeutic Feeding Program (TFP) services by increasing coverage and quality as well as zonal level coordination of CMAM service through ensuring the reporting quality. The intervention will address high levels of acute malnutrition in the woredas, supporting the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases and preventing deterioration of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases among children under five years of age (U5) and pregnant and lactating women. 

The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency nutrition services in five Priority 1 Hotspot woredas. Concern will support the MoH to deliver high quality CMAM services including Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTP), Stabilization Centers (SC), and community mobilization through infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) messaging. The project will strengthen the capacity of the targeted woredas of both Somali and Amhara regions of Health Offices (WoHO) to manage CMAM and establish effective community mobilization mechanisms for case detection, referral, follow-up, and promotion of key health-seeking behaviors. The OTP, SC, and community mobilization components will be delivered by the Woreda MoH in order to improve management and treatment of severely malnourished children at health post (HP) level, treatment of severely malnourished children with medical complications at SCs, and community mobilization through more robust outreach by health staff and Health Extension Workers (HEWs). Technical support, including joint monitoring and supervision of OTP/SC and on-the-job training for health workers, will ensure the quality of the intervention and allow for corrective action when needed. The Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) component, through which screenings, distributions, and on-site IYCF-E services will be delivered as well as directly supported by Concern. 

Concern will provide MoH staff and HEWs with CMAM training in line with national guidelines, and HEWs will also be trained to deliver IYCF-E activities to promote optimal feeding practices. Good hygiene and treatment of drinking water at household level will also be promoted through messaging and with water treatment chemicals (WTC), laundry, and body soap distributed to TSFP beneficiaries.
Emergency Shelter and NFI Response for Conflict-Displaced Households in Oromiya Region This project responds to the emergency shelter and NFI needs among conflict-displaced communities in Oromiya Region. The project will target two groups of IDPs: those who were displaced by the Somali-Oromiya conflict which broke out in September 2017.

GOAL will likely target Bale, or East or/and West Hararghe, in areas where we are currently operational and where significant ESNFI gaps have been identified. Exact locations will be identified during implementation in accordance with the prioritized locations and needs - as recommended by the ESNFI Cluster Head, the proposal has been written in a flexible manner.

Responses in all locations will be coordinated to ensure the most vulnerable are reached, and that there is no overlap with other actors.

The response will employ either an in-kind or cash modality, depending on the location or appropriate modality. The expectation at present is that an in-kind ESNFI modality will be employed in Bale Zones, as cash is currently not considered appropriate for most of the Woredas in these locations. And also in kind of a cash modality may be appropriate in East Hararghe. The exact response modality will be determined during implementation in conjunction with the local authorities and ESNFI Cluster.

An estimated 1,286 households are expected to be reached across Oromiya Region. 

The proposal is designed to be as flexible as possible in order to respond in a flexible and timely manner to the needs. The expected impact is that at least 1,286 households’ ESNFI needs (including items required for shelter, bedding, water storage, cooking and hygiene) will be reached which will help prevent morbidity and mortality (especially from cold weather) and provide a level of dignity to these vulnerable households who have lost the majority of their assets, and suffered severe psychological trauma as a result of conflict and displacement.
Strengthening the in-patient management of severe acute malnutrition in response to internally displaced persons  in, Kamashi zone (Benishangul Gumuz region) and Dawa zone (Somali region) Ethiopia A recent conflict in Oromia region since mid- October 2018 has resulted into the displacement of approximately 250,000 persons from Benishangul Gumuz region in Kamashi zone and East and West Wollega  zones in Oromia region. Of these 42,000 IDPs are in Kamashi zone living either within host communities or in  collective sites, mainly in the government buildings and schools. There has been limited humanitarian response done so far due to insecurity and inaccessibility in a number of affected woredas. With limited resources for health, nutrition, water, and shelter, the most vulnerable populations children under five, pregnant and lactation women are high risk of acute malnutrition and other communicable diseases.

In Dawa zone (Somali region), inter-communal conflicts have forced hundreds of thousands of people to live in IDP camps. Consequently, the livelihood of the communities that depend mainly on their livestock has worsened, with malnutrition weakening the immunity and resistance of affected communities and thereby increasing the risk of communicable disease transmission such as the confirmed measles outbreak in the entire zone. In addition the long-term border conflict with Oromia region has further complicated the ability to provide humanitarian assistance. The nearest PFSA hub, Negele hub in Oromia region from where the zone had been receiving medical and nutrition supplies, has not been able to supply the zone due to the conflict. Also the Negele district hospital in Oromia region had been the referral hospital for most of the Dawa health centers but the access has been cut due to the conflict. The DTM 13 reports that there are approximately 311, 268 displaced persons of these, 266,560 in Dawa zone and 42,708 in Liban zone with majority displaced due to conflict.

Acute malnutrition remains a major public health concern especially for those that develop the severe acute malnutrition because of the associated high mortality. The situation may be worsened in the presence of disease outbreaks such as AWD, measles and diarrhea and severe pneumonia due to overcrowding. Although the risks of mortality are due to the immunological changes that occur in the affected individual, avoidable factors such as lack of skilled health care workers, lack of medicines for the treatment of medical complications can be resolved. There is a need to effectively equip the national, regional and zonal health bureaus and the health facilities to manage the IDPs' health and nutrition situation in Kamashi and Dawa zones with . 

The project will support and strengthen the regional, zonal and woreda health bureaus’ capacity to manage cases of severe acute malnutrition and improve quality of care for children hospitalized for SAM with medical complications in the affected IDP areas. Furthermore, the project will support the preposition of supplies for the management of children with SAM in the two priority zones.
Drought Preparedness and Emergency Response through Livestock Asset Protection for Pastoralists and Agro-Pastoralists of Guji and Borana Zones in Oromia Region and Gamogofa Zone in SNNPR in Ethiopia The proposed project will contribute to the protection and restoration of livelihoods of drought and conflict affected communities in 13 districts in Borana and Guji zones in Oromia region and Gamo Gofa zone in SNNPR, Ethiopia. Livelihoods of 616,597 pastoral and agro-pastoralists in these regions will be protected and restored through the provision of animal health services. By the end of the six month project period, livestock morbidity and mortality in the target areas will be reduced by at least 30%. 3.1 million heads of livestock from 97,404 households will be vaccinated against sporadic and contagious diseases. 114,400 heads of affected livestock population in the targeted areas will be treated. The capacity of local government and 196 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) will be strengthened through training, provision of essential equipment, and facilitating linkages with private pharmacies and the public veterinary system.
Operational Support to the Health Emergency Response for IDPs in Oromia region Disbursement of per diem payments for Oromia Regional Health Bureau (RHB) Health Workers (HW): 
UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 100 HW deployed in remote, hotspot areas are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates (300 ETB per day). Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows HW the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, thus increasing the willingness of HW to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is a strong incentive to attract and retain them. To manage this process, a UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the Oromia RHB to assist with the planning of deployment of the HW and oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes in payments or delays.

Fleet management services for RHB allowing HW visit remote parts of the region:
UNOPS will assign vehicles (through service providers): eight 4x4s pickups. The vehicles will have drivers who are familiar with the region. In able to be rapidly respond to health emergencies, the HW need to be highly mobile. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, working with service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. The UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the Oromia RHB under this component for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams (this person will also oversee supply chain management services).
Rapid Response Mechanism to Public Health Emergencies in 8 high risk regions of Ethiopia The outbreak response elicited by the El Niño started in 2015 in Addis Ababa and rapidly spread  to Somali, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harer, Oromia, SNNPR, and  Tigray regions  of Ethiopia. The swift surge in the number of cases of AWD in early 2017 with more than 4000/week  reported from mid-April to end May brought about significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for saving lives through access to treatment and the control of community spread. By the end of 2017 the outbreak has been brought under control in the most heavily affected Somali, Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray Regions.  The resurgence  early January 2018 in Dire Dawa and Somali have been also rapidly  controlled  as a strong early warning and rapid response mechanisms established during the peak of the outbreak, led by PHEM/RNOH/RHB and supported by WHO covered most of at the high risk regions/zones/woredas.  

The health determinants and triggering factors for outbreaks remained unchanged, or in some regions degraded further due to additional internal massive displacement. Access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene behaviors, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, large numbers of internally displaced people, on the backdrop of an overburdened local health system creates an impeding risk for AWD and other water borne diseases outbreak resurgence  especially in Aug and Sept.

The aim of the project is to support maintaining a strong and rapidly scalable   early warning/surveillance and Rapid Response capacities to effectively cover the high risk populations. Immediate investigation, confirmation of alerts and rapid response mechanisms along with improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC) are essential for the control of community spread of diseases with high epidemic potential. WHO epidemiologists, surveillance and environmental health officers will continue to provide technical, information management, and coordination support at regional and zonal level along with logistic and operational support for the Rapid Response Teams of the RHB: 

Controlling health threats and outbreaks is a multi-disciplinary (water quality, case management, risk communication, surveillance, IPC) and multi-sectorial (WASH, Nutrition, shelter, logistic)  effort   ,  as a front line rapid response to contain the sources of potential outbreaks. The activities are complementing other WHO field programs in coordination with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners’. 

The intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and rapid, efficient response and as a result will help to contain the outbreaks locally and keep monitoring the epidemiological trends, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR).
Emergency Shelter/NFI Response in Gedeo and West Guji Zone CRS and its partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and Social Development Coordinating office of Hawassa (ECC-SDCOHA) will implement emergency shelter (ES)/non-food items(NFIs)  in Gedeo and Guji, targeting populations affected by internal displacement due to civil conflict. Gedeo, located in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) and Guji, located in Oromia Region, have been involved in civil conflict that has resulted in complex movements of people and the destruction of basic infrastructure in the borderland communities. Since the onset of the conflict, there have been over 800,000 people displaced in the region. In August 2018, the government of Ethiopia started encouraging the movement back of internally displaced people (IDPs) to their homes many IDPs are now returning to destroyed homes, loss of belongings, and damaged basic infrastructure. 

The project will target 2220 vulnerable households split between a kebele in Gedeb Zone and another kebele of comparable size in West Guji (to be chosen with input from the Gedeb and West Guji Emergency Operations Centers-EOCs). The project will provide ES, whether in-kind or in-cash and non-food items (NFI) for 2220 returnee households. ES/NFIs will be provided in full or in partial kits based on the needs of the households.  Full ES/NFIs provided will be in accordance to Sphere Standards and with guidance from the Shelter/NFI Working Group. Shelters will be 24 m2 with a frame made from local eucalyptus and further supplemented with high quality imported tarpaulins given the simplicity of the design accessibility of the materials, the shelters will be built quickly. NFI items include:  drinking cups, washing basin, a kettle with lid, a cooking pot, laundry soap, bathing soap, cooking ladle, blankets, plastic mats, jerrycans of 20 and 10 liters, hessian bags, and plates. 

CRS will use private and complementary resources to initiate peacebuilding activities, including community infrastructure rehabilitation to reduce pre-existing tensions between communities and returnees.  Other private and complimentary resources will be used to supplement ES/NFIs for 500 returnee/IDP households in Gedeo and West Guji.

With the additional funding, CRS/ECC-SDCOHA will work with the community to promote agriculture and livelihoods activities to improve the recovery process for 300 returnees’ households. With support from the Government of Ethiopia, the project will support both the distribution of seeds and related trainings to both increase income generation options and promote nutrient diverse foods.
Protection monitoring in areas of return - West Guji zone The Protection Cluster designed an inter-agency project for protection monitoring and capacity development for displacement affected communities in West Guji. UNFPA will build the capacity of woreda women and children affairs offices and front line services providers  in west Guji and deploy staffs to support the implementation of the project monitoring in west Guji zone of Oromia  region.
Emergency Health Responses in Ethiopia, Oromia region, East Hararghe zone: Fedis, Gursum and Babile woredas for Internally Displaced people (IDPs) and Host Communities. According to the 2018 HDRP, the Meher finding report revealed that two previous years of consecutive drought, compounded with weak rains at the end of 2017 led hundreds of thousands destitute in southern and south-eastern Ethiopia. In Oromia region, 1.58 Million people need health support. This massive influx of people in a short period has created humanitarian crisis and is pushing to the limited capacity of the Oromia Regional State and Federal Government to meet the basic lifesaving needs of the IDPs. Majority 

The overall goal of the health response project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality through improved access to basic PHC and referral services for vulnerable drought and conflict affected communities (IDPs and host communities) in Fedis, Gursum and Babile woredas of East Hararghe zone, Oromia region. This will be realized by establishing MHNT and provision of basic free of charge primary health care for affected IDPs and close host communities, conducting awareness creation on prevention of major reportable diseases (AWD, Measles, Scabies and Malaria), provision of essential drugs and Medical supplies. This project will complement the ongoing efforts by the Ethiopian Government and other stakeholders to contain the impact of health threats created by lack of access to basic health care.
