3. Communities returning to and residing in contaminated areas have improved knowledge of the risks posed by mines/ERW/IEDs 

The proposed project is a comprehensive response to the identified needs of persons with disability and/or injury in the hard-to-reach area of Al Mokha district and is based on three complementary pillars: prevention, service provision and inclusion. While several factors lead to temporary or permanent disability, conflict is a main one in Yemen. 
The proposed project aims at preventing disability through the communities’ education to the risks of landmines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive device. HI will seek to strengthen communities’ capacity to promote Risk Education and safety through training community safety focal points (CSFPs) that are able to reinforce Risk Education messages. IEC materials for Risk Education will be developed and updated by HI during the project duration in a participatory and non-discriminatory approach.
The second pillar is implemented through the provision of protection specialized services to adults and children with disability and/or injury. HI will deliver direct and comprehensive rehabilitation services to adults and children with disability and/or injury as well as ensure that these services include the necessary psychological support required by persons with injuries and disabilities. Increasing the capacity of humanitarian actors and service providers will ensure a more sustainable impact of the action.
The third pillar aims at promoting the inclusion of persons with disability in the humanitarian responses and the accessibility of services, HI will raise awareness on the barriers faced to meaningful participation and access to humanitarian aid of persons with disabilities in protection amp health clusters and the humanitarian country team, through the promotion of the IASC Guidelines on the inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian action. HI will support DPO representatives in attending cluster meetings by covering transport costs to a central place set aside for training, training of trainers for community representatives of persons with disability on inclusive humanitarian action and facilitate launching activities of the Arabic Language version of the IASC guidelines with organizations of persons with disabilities.
While HI will be in charge of the direct implementation of the activities, capacity building will as well ensure sustainability of the intervention and increased coverage of the services. To do so, HI will partner with Al Mokha hospital  in Al Mokha district. HI will focus on AL Mokha District Hospital which is a central facility and serves the population from Mokha District. Activities will complement already existing primary Healthcare in the location in order to maximize impact.

The project targets 864 persons with disability and/or injury 3600 persons in awareness activities and 30 professionals in trainings.
