Emergency Nutrition response in drought affected woredas of Arero, Teltele, Moyale in Oromia Region and Burqod, Gunagado in Somali Region The project responds to the nutrition needs of drought-affected and vulnerable communities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The project will target Arero, Teltele, Moyale in Oromia Region and Birqod, Gunogado in Somali Region for six months with full community management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) and COVID-19 response interventions. 

This project’s targeted woredas are categorized as hotspot priority for the nutrition cluster given the highest global acute malnutrition (GAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) rates in recent reports. According to GOAL recent assessment, the nutrition situation is further worsening due to the extended drought situation in the targeted woredas. Moreover, the community in the targeted woredas are affected by multiple humanitarian threats such as drought, desert locust, conflict, and disease outbreak, further aggravating the food security situation. All Woredas have health system burden due to COVID-19 and shift of priority to other humanitarian situation in the country and more attention to the conflict situation in the norther part of the country. Based on the needs on the ground, feedback from local government and recommendations from the Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit (ENCU), a full CMAM intervention integrated with emergency health interventions such as COVID-19 risk mitigation, and infection prevention and control interventions will be implemented. 

Activities will be aligned with global and national programming guidance in the context of COVID-19 pandemic:
- Supporting the government-led treatment of SAM among children under 5 in the Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) and stabilization centers (SC).
- Strengthening/Establishment of OTP and SCs.
- Provision of targeted supplementary food (TSF) for children 6-59 months and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) through  World Food Programme support (WFP).
- Establishment/ strengthening of Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme (TSFP) sites / per woreda considering access and Government support with the rollout of IMAM.
- On-the-job capacity building of health workers (HWs) and health extension workers (HEWs) on CMAM.
- Logistical and technical support to the Health Office on the implementation of CMAM, supply chain, health campaigns.
- Infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) education including COVID-19 risk communication, infection prevention, and hygiene promotion.
- Community mobilization and awareness creation about service delivery, active case finding, and all mitigation and prevention methods with emphasis on the COVID-19 pandemic.

Emergency Shelter and NFI items assistance to conflict-affected IDPs in Sasiga Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region Since 2018, continued conflicts in Oromia region have resulted in massive displacements of habitants to different parts of the region. However, due to the volatile nature of security and surge of IDP influx there is a wide response gap in the area. This proposed project will provide Emergency Shelter and NFI items to 900 vulnerable IDP HHs and host communities residing in Sasiga Woreda, East Wollega Zone, Oromia Region. The target area is selected in accordance with the Ethiopian Emergency Shelter/NFI cluster prioritization depending up on the need and response gap in the intervention area. The overall project objective is to ensure access to Emergency Shelter and NFI items for IDPs and host communities in Sasiga Woreda in order to ensure the safety, well-being and dignity of the affected population. This project is designed in check with the cluster’s strategic objective and EHF second round standard allocation strategy. It targets 15% of the host community and 5% to HHs with family members with disabilities to ensure inclusion of all groups of the community in the assistance. The intervention will be in line with the standard guideline and recommendation of ESNFI cluster. FIDO will also give due attention to COVID-19 prevention strategies, accountability and cross-cutting issue. The project period of implementation is 6 months with a total budget of 180,000.36 USD.
Emergency Nutrition Response In Tigray Region Going into its eleventh month, the conflict in Tigray persists and has even expanded into the surrounding regions of Amhara and Afar. A ceasefire on declared in late June by the Ethiopian ultimately has not held and access to the region remains limited. According to the UNOCHA Tigray: Humanitarian Access Snapshot (July 2020), “electricity, telecommunications, and banking services continue to be disconnected throughout Tigray, while commercial cargo and flights into the region remain suspended. This is having a major impact on relief operations. Partners are having to scale down operations and reduce movements due to the lack of fuel. Partners’ inability to pay staff salaries or procure essential materials severely impacts the delivery of aid to the population. The blockade is impeding the payment of salaries to thousands of civil servants across the region. Instead of their monthly wages some health workers are receiving food aid as compensation.”  

Health care services in Tigray are alarmingly limited, leaving hundreds of thousands of people, including the chronically ill and injured, without adequate access to essential medicines and basic services. With limited food, clean water and proper shelter, incidences of malaria, cholera, measles, and COVID-19 are expected to rise. Looting of health facilities was reported and there is just an overall shortage of essential supplies, including medicine, disinfectant, and cleaning materials. With little or no transportation and no fuel, staffing remains a constant issue and mobile health clinics have had to stop operations. In addition, some of the health facilities have sustained full/partial destruction or damage because of the conflict. Currently, only a few health facilities are operational/functional, and minimal services are provided. In addition, health extension programs have no supplies to resume their community-based health services.

The project will provide technical support to the woreda health office to establish a regular active/outreach acute malnutrition screening, establish well-functioning treatment centers for acute malnutrition avail outpatient treatment for SAM through RUTF, Vitamin A. and albendazole in the health facilities. The project will ensure equitable promotive, preventive, and curative health and nutrition services are provided to the community and IDPs, through providing a clear guidance /direction to the zonal and woreda health offices. The project will screen children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and support IYCF teaching aids and on job training to the health workers on management of acute malnutrition and IYCF activities.

PSEA Risk Assessment IOMs Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) will conduct two rounds of a prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) risk assessment and mapping. The goal of the multi-round assessments are to ensure that adequate safeguards and appropriate actions related to sexual exploitation and abuse are in place nationally. Additional indicators specifically related to Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) and Gender Based Violence (GBV) will also be part of this process. 

The first round of the mapping will be conducted in conjunction with DTMs Round 27 of its national Site Assessment (SA) amp Round 10 the Village Assessment Survey (VAS). This will act as an activity baseline on PSEA assessment. This baseline will help the PSEA network and the Interagency Accountability Working Group, Ethiopia (IAAWG–E) and stakeholders identify gaps and priority areas of focus for their respective interventions. A second round will be conducted in conjunction with Round 28 DTMs national SA and Round 11 of the VAS.

DTM has an extensive geographic reach in Ethiopia. As of the last assessment, DTM’s Site Assessment (SA) assessed over 1.96 million IDPs in 1,379 sites across 11 regions, while the latest Village Assessment Survey (VAS) covered 1.5 million returning IDPs across 1,421 villages in 10 regions. Building upon its nationwide key informant network, IOM DTM will assess whether effective systems are in place for preventing and responding to acts of sexual exploitation and abuse. Through linking with local and international NGOs and local government entities at Woreda and Kebele level, IOM’s enumeration team will interview stakeholders in-situ to explore the national coverage of PSEA practices by humanitarian actors and partners. The activity will provide detailed locations of PSEA activities, and importantly, where gaps exist. By providing the data at Woreda and Kebele level, this will enable key actions and mechanisms to be established from an operational perspective. 

IOM DTM conducts its in-situ SA amp VAS assessment every 3 months. Rounds 27 is scheduled to take place between August ampSeptember, and Rounds 28 will take place between December ampJanuary.. Where access is not possible, then IOM DTM will develop an online database, and using a key informant list, will conduct the assessment remotely to ensure national coverage is complete. DTM through its Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) has significant experience conducting remote assessments, so is confident through in-situ and remote assessments can ensure a nationwide mapping and assessment of PSEA existing mechanisms and subsequent gaps.
