Enhanced Emergency Response for Assisting Drought-Affected Communities in the Somali Region ltpgtltbrgtIn response to the unfolding humanitarian crisis in the Somali Region, particularly within the Sitti zone of Geblalu Woreda, Welthungerhilfe (WHH) is leading a collaborative effort alongside Action for the Needy in Ethiopia (ANE). With WHH's demonstrated success in project implementation, including a recent multi-sectoral initiative valued at 1 million USD funded by EHF/OCHA in Geblalu Woreda, coupled with ANE's invaluable local expertise, our consortium is uniquely positioned to address the pressing needs of affected communities. Notably, WHH recently concluded a similar 1 million USD EHF-funded multisectoral project in Filtu Woreda of the Somali region.ltbrgtThis proposed project aims to confront the complex challenges faced by vulnerable populations, including the severe impact of drought, conflict, flooding, and escalating food insecurity. Drawing on our extensive experience in the zone, WHH and ANE will prioritize critical sectors such as Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Emergency Agriculture-livestock health and restocking and Nutrition .ltbrgtWHH's commitment to localized aid is reinforced by our collaboration with ANE, ensuring that interventions are community-driven, culturally sensitive, and sustainable. By empowering local partners and building upon existing resilience programs, WHH aims to maximize the impact of humanitarian assistance and foster long-term resilience within affected communities.ltbrgtThe humanitarian crisis in the Somali Region, particularly in the Sitti zone of  Geblalu Woreda, is characterized by widespread food insecurity, malnutrition, and limited access to essential health, WASH and livestock health  services. The convergence of drought, flooding, and economic instability has further amplified the vulnerability of already marginalized more than 1000 IDP populations, necessitating urgent life-saving support.ltbrgtIn response, the project will prioritize the delivery of emergency WASH, emergency livelihood support - livestock health and restocking, health and nutrition services to mitigate the immediate impacts of the crisis. ltbrgtWHH -ANE will closely work with the agency OWS-DF to address the health  needs of the community . Additionally, WHH and ANE will collaboratively address underlying vulnerabilities and build community resilience to withstand future shocks.ltbrgtWith a robust foundation of local partnerships, expertise, and a comprehensive approach to addressing the humanitarian crisis, WHH and ANE are poised to make a meaningful difference in the lives of more than 22,000 people those affected by the crisis in Geblalu Woreda. Support from EHF/OCHA will enable the WHH-led initiative to deliver vital assistance, promote sustainable development, and restore hope to communities in need. Securing the requested funding will allow the WHH led initiative to make a lasting impact and ensure that no one is left behind in their time of greatest need.ltbrgtlt/pgt
Integrated multi-sector assistance to address urgent malnutrition in Gorka Woreda, Koore/Amaro Zone, South Ethiopia Region (Priority-1) ltpgtltbrgtIn 2023, the overall humanitarian situation in Ethiopia is remarkably deteriorated. Multiple overlapping humanitarian crises such as ongoing latent conflicts, widespread of violence and climate shocks including prolonged drought and floods, have increased significantly humanitarian needs.

Enhancing GBV services in Debremarkos Town, Amhara Region through community awareness raising, capacity building  strengthening One-Stop-Center ltpgtGender-based violence (GBV) particularly against women is unfortunately common during armed conflicts. No rigorous and comprehensive empirical work has documented the extent of GBV and its consequences that took place during the war. This project aims to address GBV within the conflict-affected regions of Amhara. While the Tigray-Ethiopian government conflicts concluded on November 2, 2022, as per the Pretoria agreement, another conflict has arisen in the Amhara Region involving the Amhara Fano and Ethiopian government forces. Consequently, this situation has compromised GBV services, posing a significant risk to the well-being of women and girls.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtSo that, the project seeks to enhance GBV services in Debre Markos town, Amhara region by mobilizing the community through well-framed methodologies. Additionally, the project will strengthen and enhance GBV services by straightening One-Stop-Center (OSC) . It will also build the capacity of various stakeholders on GBV prevention and response mechanisms. To provide support to GBV survivors, the project will train and deploy peer counselors who will offer case management services. Furthermore, a functional referral pathway will be established to ensure the comprehensive provision of GBV services.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtThe project planned to raise awareness among a total of 28,707 targeted individuals through various modalities. Additionally, a structured peer learning program will reach 1,800 women and girls.

The project will address the prior needs of 17074 men, 18242 women, 14819 boys and 14556 girls.ltbrgtWorld Vision conducted an independent rapid assessment in April 2024 that revealed the severe impact of droughts, flood, past conflicts, crop pest disease outbreaks and cholera on specific woredas. Bidu is facing a crisis characterized by food insecurity manifested by high prevalence of malnutrition among children and pregnant and locating women ,crop failure, income loss, and livelihood distortion due to the loss of livestock. Moreover, there is a high prevalence of malnutrition among the population. The health and nutrition situation is particularly concerning, with women and children being disproportionately affected and vital health and nutrition facilities collapsed. This is coupled with drought  and a weaker health service around these locations which has further exacerbated the situation, and putting the communities in increased life-threatening conditions.  In Bidu the Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate stands at 26.93 highlighting the severity of the nutritional crisis.ltbrgt ltbrgtThe water situation in Bidu is critical only with 7.5% coverage, as consecutive failed rains have affected all 15 kebeles, leading to displacement and disrupting essential infrastructure. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtWV acknowledges the necessity of a collaborative multi-sector approach to address and reverse the current situation while also preventing any further deterioration. These efforts will be carried out in partnership with local implementing partner Friendship Support Association (FSA)  ltbrgtAccordingly WV will implement comprehensive set of multi-sector interventions encompassing nutrition, Agriculture, WASH and health.
