Infrastructure and Capacity Support to Health and Institutional Facilities  in Somalia The Somalia healthcare system has been severely depleted as a result of war and continuous internal conflict. Nevertheless, progress has been made in recent years and the Government through the Ministry of Health (MoH) has taken strong initiatives to improve the overall health services in the country. The infrastructure sector of Somalia is in dire need of reconstruction in order to enable the fundamental public services delivery that serves the country, more specifically the services that facilitate and ensure the wellbeing of its citizens. \n \nMoH has requested the Government of Italy through Italian Agency for Development Cooperation (AICS)  for UNOPS  support in the rehabilitation of four health care facilities in Somalia. This will improve the current situation of communities having limited access to health care and will also contribute to achieving Somaliland’s health sector visions and goals in alignment with the Universal Health Coverage which Somalia has recently agreed to adopt. Through this project UNOPS is set to:\n\n- Contribute towards stability in Somalia with the expansion of health service coverage through the rehabilitation and operationalization of selected health-care facilities in the country.\n\n- Enhance awareness through Population dynamics study/census and improve health services through Health training.\nInstitutional strengthening through hardware rehabilitation of health facilities for government offices use in case of emergency and other government institutional buildings.\n\n- Development of a citizen registry, which will enable the proper identification of citizens to receive basic services\n\n- Build a plan to identify buildings and places of architectural and historical value in the historical town of Eyl Municipality\n
Mine Action in Support to United Nations Assistance Mission in Somalia (UNSOM) Established in 1997, the United Nations Mine Action Service (UNMAS) works to eliminate the threat posed by mines, explosive remnants of war and improvised explosive devices by coordinating United Nations mine action, leading operational responses at the country level, and in support of peace operations, as well as through the development of standards, policies and norms. As a specialized service of the United Nations located within the Department of Peace Operations, UNMAS operates under UN legislative mandates of both the General Assembly and the Security Council. UNMAS also responds to specific requests for support from the UN Secretary-General or designated officials. UNMAS is an integrated component of UNSOM, within the Rule of Law and Security Institutions Group. In Somalia, UNMAS ensures that people are safer and more secure due to the increased ability of Somali national authorities and security services to reduce the threat posed by explosive ordnance (EO), including improvised explosive devices (IEDs).\n\nOver the past years, IEDs have been the weapon of choice of armed groups, used against Somali Security Forces (SSF) and the African Union Transition Mission in Somalia (ATMIS). However, while the SSF and ATMIS continue to be the most frequently targeted by IEDs, the IED threat disproportionately impacts civilians who made up 42% of all IED related casualties in 2021. Additionally, decades of armed conflict left behind a legacy of explosive ordnance, including landmines and explosive remnants of war, as well as a proliferation of small arms and light weapons. Both pose a significant risk to local populations and have a detrimental impact on peacebuilding and statebuilding activities.

Provision of protective education assistance for crisis-affected children and youth in Rakhine State The goal of this project is to increase access to quality education that incorporates protection aspects to assure the safety of the learning environment for children across Rakhine State, particularly in Sittwe and Pauktaw. This proposed intervention will contribute towards enhancing educational support and capacity to deliver quality education in Rakhine, focusing on a protection-oriented approach inside and outside schools, including mobile activities for those locations with a high number of out-of-school children. Through the maintenance of existing Temporary Learning Classrooms (TLCs) and school facilities, coupled with capacity building aimed at education personnel (teachers / facilitators), the NRC aims to reduce the unmet needs, help children return to a normal routine, and contribute to children’s emotional security and positive cognitive and physical development. This education intervention will be holistic, incorporating psychosocial support, essential educational activities, and maintenance of structures, and will offer opportunities for both children in school and out of school to engage in learning and protective activities that will bridge toward more formalized education pathways. In collaboration with local authorities, an analysis of those areas most in need and identification of location with the highest number of out-of-school children will be developed during the inception phase of the project. Target beneficiaries will include in- and out-of-school girls and boys affected by the humanitarian situation in Rakhine, and male and female teachers / facilitators in the targeted locations. Protection mainstreaming will be guaranteed throughout the whole project and specific child protection cases will be referred to specialized agencies. The intervention is designed with consideration for the cultural context and how it may affect access for girls, children with different abilities / disabilities, and children of different ethnic groups. Intensive project sensitization activities and information campaigns will be conducted to change how girls and their families views the significance of education and allow them to re-imagine the benefits of allowing girls to participate, or continue participating, in Education.
