Emergency WASH response for drought affected areas in South Central Somalia As the WASH Cluster lead, UNICEF has been monitoring the deterioration of access to safe water due to the persistent drought. The CERF and SHF funding envelopes early in the year provided a good injection of the much needed support with partnerships going through internal UNICEF approval processes. However, the support was highly targeted geographically for the northern regions. As expected, the funds were not intended to cover all needs, but from the current indications, they are definitely not commensurate with the scale of needs on the ground. The UNICEF design of the 2019 HRP was more targeted towards critical need that is not inflated with too many needs closer to the development end of the spectrum. Partners and donors have to work extra hard in supporting these more targeted and critical needs, which are currently getting more and more critical by the day. The proposed interventions are life-saving and time critical, ensuring access to safe drinking water and access to the means to practice good hygiene and sanitation. The targeted areas are:
	Jubaland State: Lower Juba and Gedo Regions Kismayo, Afmadow, Badhadhe and Dollow districts
	South West State: Baidoa districts 
	Galmudug State: Abudwak and Adado districts
	Hirshabelle: Beletweyen and Maxaas districts

AZE: Improving Financial Service Outreach for Agriculture - AccessBank Azerbaijan One loan of up to $75 million to support farm investments and working capital and enterprises operating in the agriculture value chain through Access Bank Azerbaijan (ABA).  ADB funding will improve rural income generation and livelihood in Azerbaijan. With only 16% of credit flowing to Azerbaijans regions, and only 5% to agriculture, finance is largely unavailable in rural Azerbaijan. Agriculture is fragmented into 1.2 million small farms employing 38% of the working population and contributing only 6.2% to GDP (2013). However, agriculture witnessed robust growth of 4% p.a. over the past decade and has substantial growth potential to meet growing domestic and import demand for food (fruits, vegetables and dairy products). Farms and MSMEs are the most important source for employment and income generation in the regions. Lack of funding is one of the main reasons limiting their growth.
COVID-19: COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support Program The COVID-19 Active Response and Expenditure Support program provides budget support to meet Azerbaijan's development financing needs, arising from the pandemic response measures. The program is aligned with the country's overarching development objective that the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the population's health, incomes, and economic opportunities as well as macroeconomic stability are mitigated. The program has three outputs: (i) COVID-19 response and health system strengthening measures implemented, (ii) social protection for the poor and vulnerable households expanded, and (iii) affected sectors supported to prevent job losses from the economic downturn. Identifying the risk that the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic, global economic slowdown, and fall in oil prices could hurt the growth prospects, necessitating more financial resources than originally envisaged, based on the program's theory of change, the outputs contribute to achievement of the expected outcome that the COVID-19 outbreak is more effectively managed and its adverse social and economic impacts are reduced. The design and monitoring framework presents the relevant indicators reflecting the pandemic response measures. The program is aligned with the ADB's country partnership strategy, 2019-2023 for Azerbaijan and the government's development strategy.
