Provision of emergency food security assistance to the most vulnerable IDPs and host communities in conflict affected Hajjah, Taiz and Aden Governorates This project will provide emergency food assistance to 31,689 most vulnerable IDPs and host communities in Abs District in Hajjah Governorate Al Ma’afar district in Taiz Governorate and Al Musaymir District in Lahj Governrate. More than 45% of the population in these target districts are in IPC phase 4 (humanitarian emergency). The food security situation in the districts is exacerbated by the recent influx IDPs, displaced due to the recent fighting in Hudaydah. The main reasons for the deterioration in food security are the economic difficulties caused by the country’s political crisis, conflict, social unrest, and lack of purchasing power.

The actions proposed under this project will allow targeted households to meet their minimum food security needs and reduce the use of negative coping strategies such as child labour and early marriage. The actions aim to improve the purchasing power of the target groups which is currently the main constraint to access basic food commodities in local markets. 

Oxfam will pursue a cash based approach, where monitoring on the feasibility of cash to provide emergency food security and livelihoods assistance shows that this approach is effective. It is the modality most preferred by beneficiary communities, and has a has positive impact on local markets. Oxfam has a well-established cash disbursement mechanism that enables timely and safe distribution of cash to beneficiaries through a payment service provider, the Yemen Bank of Reconstruction and Development (YBRD). 

Oxfam will use its established good relations with local authorities and communities in the target districts to implement the project in a participatory manner, increasing its effectiveness and efficiency. Another key strategy is to work with all humanitarian agencies in the target districts, particularly WFP and FSAC to ensure coordination of efforts and avoid duplication. To avoid any negative impacts on women and children, the project will ensure that gender and protection lenses are mainstreamed throughout the project.

The Oxfam MEAL Team will establish project baselines, develop a monitoring plan, manage during and post distribution monitoring, and conduct end line surveys. They will also manage the participatory feedback and complaints mechanism to ensure quality of project delivery, and document lesson for future interventions.
Emergency Nutrition Response in Sana’a and Amran governorates in Yemen. The key focus of this project is to ensure and improve access to life-saving nutrition services for populations living in the catchment areas of the 27 fixed health facilities that are planned to be targeted with Health Intervention within this Standard Allocation. The intervention will cover the gaps based on mapping by Nutrition Cluster regarding SAM, MAM and IYCF services. The project will target the most vulnerable boys and girls under 5 (CU5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) in six districts in two governorates in Yemen: Sana’a (Safa’an, Manakha and Haymah al Kharijiyah districts) and Amran (Amran, Huth and Harf Sofian districts). Out of six, five of the districts are at a health severity score of 4 and one of them (Harf Sofian) is at the score of 5, as prioritized by the first standard allocation YHPF 2018 strategy paper and guidance from the Health Cluster. All of these districts are prioritized for the integrated Nutrition response.

RI will provide first-line nutrition services in 27 fixed health facilities – 4 hospitals, 3 health centers (HC) and 20 health units (HUs). The services will include the integrated CMAM package, including screening and referral, Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) in children under 5 (CU5), as well as management of acute malnutrition in pregnant and lactating women (PLWs). The curative services will be complemented with preventive services which cover establishment and maintenance of Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) corners who would target all caregivers, especially mothers, with direct child health and nutrition education.

The re-established health care system at primary and secondary level will be reinforced through community-based activities and RI, through a Local Partner - Building for Development (BFD) – who will mobilize and train Community Health Volunteers (CHVs) to support community based activities and referral system. Provision of curative services by RI will be supported with preventive nutrition education and awareness raising activities, which will further strengthen linkages between the targeted communities and RI’s interventions.

This Nutrition intervention, despite being submitted as a separate proposal, is integrated with a Health response submitted also within the first Standard Allocation 2018. Both responses will be targeting the same health facilities to ensure that the nutrition needs of the same catchment populations are also addressed, to ensure integration of these urgent needs in both sectors. The impact of this project will be strengthened by RI cholera intervention, funded by UNICEF in Sana’a and WHO in Amran, that will start along with the increased incidence of cholera reported in those areas.

The selection of the health facilities has already been approved by the GHO (please refer to Annex I). The intervention was also coordinated at Nutrition Sana’a Sub-Cluster level (please refer to Annex IIa)  as well as WFP regarding MAM coverage and supplies (please refer to Annex IIb).
Support to Community-Based Protection Networks in Taiz Governorate Yemen’s ongoing conflict has created one of the world’s largest crises, with the 2018 Humanitarian Response Plan estimating that 12.9 million people require protection assistance. Protection is critical for all, but against a backdrop of intensified fighting and soaring needs, certain groups are at greater risk, with women, children, older persons, minorities, persons with disabilities, as those with specific needs being particularly affected.

Oxfam will support conflict-affected communities in Taiz governorate through the establishment of 283 community-based protection networks (CBPN), composed of members of IDP and host communities from different age, gender, background and origins. CBPNs will disseminate information on protection and the rights of those displaced, the availability of humanitarian assistance and will ensure feedback in line with the principles of Accountability to Affected Populations. The CBPNs will mobilize communities to address and mitigate protection concerns, as well as issues relating to social cohesion and conflict prevention. Oxfam will support women, youth and community groups with conflict analysis, mediation skills, and conflict management, particularly those that decrease the tension between IDPs and host communities, including disseminating information on the availability of specialized and non-specialized services.   

The establishment of CBPNs as a preparedness activity in the districts of Taiz where there are the most needs and gaps in terms of CBPN coverage will allow for a rapid mobilization and two-way communication on protection needs, with real time reporting to the protection cluster. The CBPNs will serve as an effective instrument to raise awareness on protection risks and issues, to better prepare the communities to prevent and respond to them.
