Central African Republic Joint response 2020 SUMMARY
The implementation of the Khartoum Peace Agreement, signed in Bangui on February 6th  2019, resulted in a relative calm in most areas, but civilians, particularly women and children, continue to suffer from the consequences of the conflict and are increasingly exposed to protection risks and acute humanitarian needs. This project aims at 1. protecting most vulnerable children and adolescents through community based child protection and comprehensive case management 2. enhancing most vulnerable households' access to cash through a cash for asset program. 3 supporting most vulnerable adolescents with vocational training and access to livelihood.  
The project is implemented by Plan and local partner CPDE and targets 11025 individuals, esp. most vulnerable children and food insecure families. It is implemented in 2020 (12 months) in a consortium, led by Cordaid. The Central African population has suffered from a complex humanitarian crisis since the advent of the armed conflict in 2013. Displacement and violence occurring in an already fragile national context have had serious humanitarian consequences for the protection of civilians, their living conditions as well as their physical and mental survival. Civilians, particularly women and children, continue to suffer from the consequences of the conflict and are increasingly exposed to protection risks and acute humanitarian needs.  More than 50% of the population is in need of humanitarian assistance, including 1.7 million people in critical situations, such as IDPs and returnees. Children are the direct victims of the conflict because of the risks of family separation, recruitment by armed groups and forces, child trafficking and forced labour, dropping out of school but also sexual violence and forced marriage for girls. The conflict has also caused food insecurity in a country where 75% of its population depend of farming :  markets, transportation of goods, access to farming land, agricultural inputs and assets are all impacted. Food insecurity affects 1,6 million persons ( IPC 2019), which in turn leads households to adopt negative copying strategies such as reducing their food intake or engaging in illegal or risky activities such as prostitution or association with armed groups. It also contributes to households prioritising their daily food needs rather than health or education costs which are just as essential. Children are particularly vulnerable in areas where long-term problems such as weak state child protection systems, low birth registration rates and discriminatory cultural burdens towards girls exacerbates the protection concerns. While Ouham is still an area with high humanitarian needs, other areas with higher needs have become accessible, such as Kaga-Bandoro in Nana-Grebizi.
Break Free! L&L summary: Millions of young people don’t have access to appropriate, gender-responsive, quality SRHR education, information and services. This makes them vulnerable to unintended pregnancies, often followed by child marriage (CM). The Break Free! program empowers adolescents and young people to make their own free and informed choices to speak out and have control over their SRH and lives. BF! is tackling root causes of gender inequality,  unequal power relations and discriminatory social norms, systems, structures, policies and practices, supported by civil society and improved legislation. The project will be implemented between 2021 and 2025 by the Break Free! Consortium consisting of Plan International Netherlands, SAT and FAWE, technical partners KIT and RMT in collaboration with Dutch Embassies. It will be carried out in Ethiopia, Kenya, Sudan, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger and has a regional Pan-African and a learning component to sustain the country programs.

Nicaragua Social Crisis Response Plan SUMMARY 
Nicaragua is under severe economic downturn due to the social-political crisis which started in April 2018. Children and youth are the most affected as for instance school enrolment and retention has decreased also because families tend to keep their children and youth at home because of security reasons. The objective of the project Nicaragua Social Crisis Response is to support children, adolescents and youth through access to education and gender-sensitive child protection. All activities are implemented by Plan International Nicaragua and its local partners and  include: creating safe and friendly community spaces; mobilization and training of teachers and other education personnel to encourage school attendance by children and adolescents; empower adolescents and youth in the safe use of social networks to disseminate key messages for protection from domestic violence and other forms of violence. The working areas of the project are selected communities in Chontales and Boaco. The project is part of a bigger program which will include activities in the sectors of livelihood (economic empowerment) and health as well. Funds are being raised by Plan Nicaragua among other national offices of Plan International. Since April 2018, Nicaragua is having a severe socio political crisis. Before the crisis the international organizations had placed Nicaragua as one of the three fastest growing economies in Latin America and the Caribbean.  In Central America, only Panama would exceed the Nicaraguan growth rate of gross domestic product.  But now, the crisis threatens the goal of economic growth in Nicaragua. Economic growth targets for 2018 are under pressure, after the stoppage and irregular economic activities, that by now lasted for 4 months, due to the socio-political crisis unleashed by the government to repress demonstrations, which is impacting the generation and stability of jobs, the arrival of investment and rising inflation, economists experts say.
The crisis impacts families all around the country in their income and security. End beneficiaries are 2,797 selected families in Chontales and Boaco, including 2,665 girls and 2,094 boys. RESULT 1: Children and adolescent boys and girls and their families have strengthened their physical-mental health and their ability to identify risk factors and protective factors against sexual abuse and gender-based violence in crisis situations											
RESULT 2: Educational Community implement actions in crisis situations for school retention in temporary learning environments during early recovery The project is part of a bigger program of which the other elements still need funding within Plan International (June 2019). If no funds are secured for these other elements, this will impact the sustainability of the results of the project.

Sudan Joint Response 2020 - Project SUMMARY
In response to the humanitarian situation in Sudan, Plan International takes part in the Sudan Joint Response 2020, in collaboration with the Dutch Relief Alliance funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Plan International Nederland, World Vision Nederland and ICCO/Kia joined forces to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response throughout 2020 (Jan-Dec).
A total of 21670 direct beneficiaries across the states of North Darfur and South Kordofan benefit from activities providing multi-sectoral assistance in protection, Food Security & livelihoods and WASH (Water, sanitation and Hygiene) sectors. The project targets the most vulnerable and conflict affected people including (refugees, host, IDP) women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities. The humanitarian situation in Sudan remains serious and complex, with acute humanitarian needs across the Darfur region, North Kassala, Blue Nile and South Kordofan states. The protests that started in December 2018 culminated into removal of the regime in April 2019 and subsequent formation of transitional government in August 2019. This period witnessed heightened security measures and restrictions by the military government, deterioration to the overall macroeconomic situation, disruptions to government services, access to markets and goods, worsened access to cash and fuel as well as violence by security forces leading to loss of life as well as injuries and sexual violence against protesters especially girls and women. All these have contributed to high price of essential food and non-food items and have weakened majority of poor households purchasing capacity to levels beyond their survival threshold

Considering the existing needs and gaps, as well as organizations’ expertise and capacities, the program will be implemented in the FSL, WASH and Protection sectors. Plan International Nederland, Stichting World Vision Nederland and ICCO / Kerk in Actie joined forces under the Sudan Joint Response to provide multi-sectoral assistance to respond to the immediate needs and protection risks of the most vulnerable and conflict affected people in targeted areas in North- Darfur and South Kordofan, through an effective and efficient humanitarian response by Dutch NGOs, local partners and actors. Refugees, host, IDP and returnee populations affected by the protracted crisis in North-Darfur and South Kordofan, Sudan, with focus on the most vulnerable and conflict affected within the targeted areas (including women, children, women- & child-headed households, elderly and people with disabilities).
Leaders of Peace - Plan International African Union Liaison Office (AULO) Project SUMMARY: 
South Sudan has been engaged in a peace process for years. It remains important to emphasize the role of women and youth in peacebuilding and reconciliation processes. As part of the National Action Plan of the Dutch government to support the implementation of the UN resolution 1325, the consortium consisting of Plan International, AMA, EVE, HealthNet and PAX is implementing the Leaders of Peace Programme. It aims at a more empowering and inclusive environment in South Sudan. Women and girls will feel safer and better enabled to assert their rights, so they can play an influential role towards conflict prevention and sustainable peace. The project will be carried out by the Plan International African Union Liaison Office from January 2021 to December 2025. It will be implemented in South Sudan (East, West & Central Equatoria, Unity, Lakes) and the learnings from the project will be used for advocacy at the continental/AU level. 2020 marks the 20th anniversary of the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1325 on women, peace and security. Therefore, it is time to re-emphasize the important role of (young)  women in peacebuilding in South Sudan. The voices of young people, girls and boys, need to be heard in these dialogues and reconciliation processes – especially those at the heart of conflict. It remains crucial that the positive contribution of women and youth to sustainable peace and state building is recognized, supported and celebrated. 
In this prospect, the Plan African Union will contribute to the programme's Result Area 3 (Increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding). Result Area  3: Increased and effective participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding.
Increased, influential participation of W/Y in leadership and peacebuilding is possible when W/Y facilitate political positioning and influencing across ethnic/religious/conflict lines, together with male counterparts. The Leaders of Peace Programme builds up on successes of the Women and Girls for Change Programme (WGFC 2016-2020), building on activities related to psychosocial support, peacebuilding and prevention of GBV activities implemented by other actors with a focus on Lobby and Advocacy. Beneficiaries are community members in South Sudan. More specifically, girls and women as well as the community as a whole through a more enabling environment for girls and women that creates a stronger society. Advocacy at the continental/AU level. Ownership by the local community will be important as well; for that the local context and prevelent social norms have to be taken into consideration.

FOA Malawi Flood Response 2019 SUMMARY
Heavy, non-stop rains between 5-8 March 2019 severely affected southern Malawi. Due to the rains, many houses have collapsed and over 15,000 people seek shelter in schools (which prevents access to education for students ), churches and other camps. Due to overcrowding, there is lack of privacy for young women and girls, who are living in these shelters, which  affects their health and general wellbeing. Agricultural fields and small livestock have been washed away. There is a critical need for food, potable water, shelter and sanitary facilities. Plan International Malawi will respond to immediate unmet lifesaving needs of the affected households to enable them to return home, provide household water, sanitation and hygiene (including menstrual hygiene management) and ensure that nutrition needs are met. Plan supports families to kick-start livelihood activities through the provision of start-up funds, to prevent people from resorting to harmful coping mechanisms.
