Emergency WASH Response in 2 Woredas of Afder Zone, Somali Region of Ethiopia   for communities affected by Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) The project will be implemented in the newly established two Woredas of Qohle and Godgod Woredas (formerly in Bare and Hargele) of Afder Zone -Somali Region in order to increase access to safe water for communities affected by Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) and WaSH response to water/vector borne disease outbreaks. This response will focus on Emergency water trucking in health institutes, schools and water trucking for IDP kebeles of newly pastoralists drop-out , rehabilitating existing water points( deep- well) It will also focus on excrete, solid wastes management and disease factor control prevention based public education through Hygiene and sanitation sessions with provision of HHs water storage, sanitary and IEC materials. The project will also prioritize those most vulnerable groups - newly pastoralists drop-out IDPs, children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) –in all stages of the project. In the hot spot woredas of Qohle and Godgod woredas WASH intervention will be carried as depicted below: 
(1) Provision of 3,731.4 m3 for 60 days (155.475 trips of each 24m3 for 60 days) of emergency water trucking for most water shortage affected four communities in Qohle Woreda. ADRA uses Gode town water point as water source for water trucking and the project will focus to provide water trucking to the most four (4) Kebeles of qohle woreda located on road between Gode and hargelle (at top topography area) of (Dharaye, Muldato, Hardheer and Sidetale Kebeles ) and that are affected by water borne diseases and those communities have exhausted all existing community coping mechanisms and water trucking is the last possible option.
(2) Consistent to WASH Cluster comments and recommendations, ADRA has shifted the allocated budget for the rehabilitation of 4 HDWs and 3 Birkas in initial proposal to the suggested water infrastructures. Therefore, One (1) un-protected Hand Dug well with water discharge capacity of 100m3/day will be constructed and upgraded to a protected Deep Shallow Well (24m) and installed with solar installation pump. Adjacent and associated with this well will be One (1) water point, One (1) cattle trough, (1) Solar pump house and One (1) Pipes and fittings, to serve as a dependable future safe water source/point in times of drought for both Qohle and Godgod Woredas Instead of travelling to Bare Town Water Point at an over 120kms distance.
(3) Immediately after the project agreement, to minimize the water contamination risk, ADRA improve the collection and storage practices through provision and distribution of clean water storage facilities (fourteen (14) ROTO plastic water tankers of each 5000 liters) to the most affected four (4) communities in Qohle Woreda. ADRA will also train the Community Water Management Committees to manage the water infrastructure, distribute the trucked water.
(4) ADRA will establish 10 people in the established water infrastructure communities (7WMCs and 3 from community-based water management committee (WMCs), health and school representatives). ADRA will conduct training for each water facility constructed/ rehabilitated or procured 
(5) To prevent and respond for current and future diseases outbreak including AWD outbreak and other water born disease factor control. ADRA will construct 14 new excreta/toilets with hand washes facility in (eight) schools and (four) health-care facilities to provide adequate, accessible, appropriate and safe toilets to local cultural and social norms and values of all age and user groups (for patients, staff and careers). 
(6)To respond the current emergencies by delivering educational, trainings, public meetings and personal sanitation and hygiene promotion activities  ADRA will distribute    49,752 bars of body and laundry soaps for two times   to 12,438 water trucked beneficiaries . And also to quip with preparedness activities and distribute 30,000 IEC material  in order to prevent future sanitation and hygiene related disease outbreaks.
