Provision of  Shelter Repair assistance for the most vulnerable returnee families, and affected vulnerable communities in Ad Durayhimi District /Al-Hudaydah Governorate-Pillar (2). ltpgtThe Rehabilitation Project for Housing in Ad Durayhimi District /Al-Hudaydah Governorate is a critical initiative aimed at addressing the pressing housing needs of 150 from the most vulnerable returnee families and affected-vulnerable communities (985 Individuals) at 5 locations in Ad Durihimy district. This project aims to rehabilitate and construct houses in five specific areas: Bani Al Nashit, Al Khananiah Hood, Bani Afif, and Bani Al Drabish are located within the Southern neighborhood while Bani Hanjor is located within the Eastern neighborhood.ltbrgtThe Rehabilitation Project for Housing in Ad Durayhimi City focuses on creating safe, structurally sound, and livable homes for 985 individuals, including vulnerable groups like women, children, and the elderly. The project follows a beneficiary selection process that involves creating a preliminary list in collaboration with local authorities, conducting household vulnerability assessments, verifying ownership, and assessing the level of intervention required for each house.ltbrgtThe selection criteria consider the damage caused by war and vulnerability criteria of Shelter cluster guidance. The project focuses on rehabilitating houses with partial damage, ranging from slight cosmetic/external war traces to extensive cracks in walls, the selection criteria will be based on two conditions (Damage caused by war or natural disaster and (Vulnerability Criteria). The vulnerability criteria include factors such as chronic or serious medical conditions, older or unaccompanied elderly individuals, women heads of households, child heads of households, unemployed/low-income households, long or multiple displacements, and large family sizes.ltbrgtThe Situation of Landmines and Unexploded Ordnance (UXOs):ltbrgtWhile the houses within the targeted areas for rehabilitation are not directly affected by landmines, the risks arise primarily in the surrounding areas, particularly in the outside roads and regions of the district.ltbrgtProject Resolution:ltbrgtTo effectively resolve the issue of landmines and UXOs in the targeted district, we have proactively engaged with the relevant authorities to ensure comprehensive and safe implementation of the Rehabilitation and Construction Project. We have established a channel of communication with (SCMCHA) and the Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC), who have confirmed their commitment to facilitating all matters concerning this issue. The cooperation and support from SCMCHA and YEMAC will enable us to conduct thorough assessments of the targeted areas for rehabilitation to ensure they are clear of any landmines and UXOs before commencing any construction or rehabilitation activities.ltbrgtImplementation modalityltbrgtThe project's implementation modality includes a self-help approach, where beneficiaries are encouraged to perform rehabilitation work themselves or bear labor costs under the guidance of professional engineers, ltspan style="font-size: 8pt"gtand the payment would be released to the beneficiary (under the name of Head of
Household).  Elt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 8pt"gtven
the vulnerable cases - who cannot carry out the work by themselves, such as
women heads of households and the elderly, will be indirectly supported and
assisted by the community, and JAAHD's engineers will provide the necessary
advice.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt





ltbrgtPayment modality:ltbrgtThe payment (2250 USD) would be released to the beneficiary (under the name of Head of Household) in three conditional installments, which will be paid through an FSP (Financial Service Provider). This process will be handled directly by JAAHD's CBI. To reduce the risk that the beneficiary will complete the scheduled work upon receipt of the last installment, the third installment will be reduced to 25% (to become 30%, 45% 25%).ltbrgtThis cash assistance is restricted, which is used for house rehabilitation, and it is also conditional on the provision of materials/labor for maintenance as per the BoQs prepared by the JAAHD's engineer(s). An agreement/Letter of Commitment (LoC) will be signed between the JAAHD and the BNF.lt/pgt
