Rapid Emergency Response in Dubti and Dulecha Districts of Afar (RERDDA) and Dassenech and Nyangatom  Districts of South Omo, SNNPR. In response to 2021 First Round Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) standard allocation, VSF-Germany with its ground presence have decided to apply for agriculture sector intervention (livelihood) in Afar region in districts prioritized by agriculture cluster (Dubti and Dulecha). The humanitarian and security situation in Ethiopia in general and in Afar region in particular evolved rapidly since late December 2020. Continued inter-ethnic conflicts, climatic shocks, severe desert locust infestation, flood, drought (especially failure of 2021 Sugum rains), and the ongoing socio-economic impacts of COVID-19 have created an alarming political tension with adverse humanitarian consequences. To this effect, this proposal is designed to respond to the critical humanitarian response priorities identified by the cluster and government as well as VSF G information collected and analyzed at ground level with beneficiary communities. The prioritization of these locations informed by the currently IPC 3 amp 4 priority locations based on the January IPC projections, IDP numbers, experienced droughts and are deteriorating as the lean season deepens.  In connection with this, the project is proposed to be implemented in two districts of Afar region namely Dubti and Dulecha. Similarly, the agriculture cluster prioritization note in these districts identified priority response activities such as provision of emergency seed pack (cereals, legumes, vegetables) and fertilizer for farm households, provision of veterinary services ( treatment and vaccination), provision of animal feed and draught power. VSF G intended to implement veterinary service and animal feed supplementation in the two prioritized districts of Dubti and Dulecha with the overall objective to protect and sustain livelihoods of vulnerable households such as drought and desert locust affected households and other shocks, female-headed households, people with disabilities, child-headed households, as well as displacement affected households. While the agriculture part (provision of emergency seed pack) will be implemented by other partner in the same operational areas. As indicated above the identified and proposed activities by the cluster and planned by VSF G are in line with the draft 2021 HRP which aims to address the needs of the most at risk and vulnerable populations by focusing on responding in a multi-sectoral manner. This multi-sectoral approach seeks to address the consequences of shocks holistically, ensuring a more efficient and effective response across sectors. This project targeted 225,000 heads of livestock owned by 9000 HHs through strategic vaccination, 4000 households through voucher-based animal treatment (80,000 livestock) and concentrate animal feed supplementation (for a total of 6675 small ruminants belonged to 1335HHs) with the objective of improving milk access for children and also contributing to protection of productive animal of vulnerable household. Each of 6675 animals will receive concentrated animal feed at a rate of 0.3kg per day for a period of 100 days to avail milk as well as core breeds protected from the effect of long dry season. Overall, the project targeted 9000HH (54000 people) which includes 20350 men, 15750 women, 8950 boys and 8950 Girls). Out of this targeted beneficiaries also included 1650 disabled persons (500 Men, 650 Women, 200 Boys and 300 Girls). In the proposed project, VSF-Germany will implement livestock treatment, vaccination, veterinary supply and feed supply to the targeted communities.
