Sustaining the provision of life-saving healthcare services(under parameter 1) through fixed health facilities and mobile teams in selected districts The project builds around three main components addressing the provision of first-line health services in the IPC districts (IPC 4 and IPC5) according to the geographical prioritization of the 2019 Standard Allocation. 
The project will provide main health services to communities at risk of famine to protect them against morbidities and mortality.,The selection of the health services takes into the existence of co-morbidities in the IPC districts. 
1) Provision of the Minimum Service Package (MSP) . WHO plans to sustain the MSP in selected districts as per annexed list. The implementation of this intervention will require the coordination with selected implementing partners who are currently members of the Health Cluster and MSP partners of WHO as of 2018. Within the present proposal, WHO seeks to sustain and consolidate the results gained in 2018 through the MSP focusing on the SA target districts in light of this, the funding requested for the Implementing Partners is meant to maintain the essential services the NGOs will be providing as MSP partners, including provision of incentive payments. 

2) Provision of essential life-saving care services through the deployment of medical teams in selected locations as per annexed list. The implementation of this intervention will be based on the operational and coordination model WHO has in place since 2016/2017, namely: direct provision of health system inputs to the mobile teams (incentives) in coordination with the Governorate Health Offices (GHO) and Ministry of Health at the central level.  The rationale to continue and maintain the functional capacity of the emergency mobile teams is presented in the WHO Yemen Trauma Care and General Emergency Services, 2018 Annual Report

3) Preventive and control measures to reduce the risk of outbreak -prone diseases: sustain the provision of incentives for the health workers based on the existing network of facilities and structures dedicated to outbreak response. This includes: 42  rapid response teams (one per district), 2 central public health laboratories, 4 DTCs and 4 ORCs. as per outbreak response plan (cholera and other diseases). WHO’s request of support for the cholera outbreak response is limited to the number of districts targeted for the SA. It is important to share that since the submission of the present proposal (15th February 2019), WHO and the Health Cluster partners have detected an increase in the number of cholera cases in specific locations. 
WHO will procure mobile equipment to support the surveillance program (eDEWS). The equipment will remain with the MOH department of Surveillance to ensure the surveillance activities continue beyond the project end date.

Rationale for the selection of the districts within SA1:
-Vulnerability ranking as per WHO Vulnerability Assessment (last version: October 2018)
- Current presence of WHO (MSP, cholera and/or malnutrition response as these districts feature multiple layers and types of vulnerabilities and threats) 
-Needs presented by WHO ‘s IPS including district-based micro-planning done in consultation with WHO. 

Explanatory note related to the total number of beneficiaries targeted in partnership with IPs- this is to be read in conjunction with the  information provided at the budget section. 
1)   WHO will sustain 4 IPs operating in locations featuring a total catchment population of 287,795 people and total 246,319 PIN. 
2) The log-frame of the project features 238,999	total beneficiaries (direct) based on the geographic distribution of the IPs (section on "Locations"), the IPs can directly reach up to 62,179 in the districts where they will be operating (direct attribution of results). 
3) The remaining population will benefit from the service provision through mobile teams and cholera response. 
4) The total number of indirect beneficiaries is 85,869  people (see section "Affected persons
