Boreholes restoration and agricultural livelihoods support for conflict-affected population of Chuhuivskyi raion ltpgtltbgtUnder this project RCC aims to support directly 1960 beneficiaries and indirectly 6855 beneficiaries in Chkalivska hromada of Chuhuivskyi raion (with high intersectoral needs) of Kharkiv oblast with FSL and WASH activities. lt/bgtltbrgtChkalivska hromada was under russian occupation, sustaining severe damages and requiring comprehensive multi-sectoral aid to address its mounting challenges. ltbrgtAccording to RCC Sustainable Settlement Assessment's relevant indicators, Needs Assessment (see Documents tab) and direct communication with administrations of Chkalivska hromada and it's settlements, specific pressing needs relevant to FSL and WASH were identified, namely the need for support of agricultural livelihoods for conflict-affected rural householeds, and access to technical water for agriculture. These needs and appropriate interventions envisioned by RCC correlate with UHF thematic priority "Multi-sectoral and critical single-sector assistance in the raions of high intersectoral needs in the eastern, southern and northern oblasts" and strategic objective "Provide principled and timely multisectoral lifesaving assistance to internally displaced people, non-displaced conflict-affected people and returnees, ensuring their safety and dignity" for this allocation, as well as Multisectorial priority #6 pertaining to FSLC and WASH Cluster "Restoration of water towers (boreholes) to strengthen the agricultural sector in affected areas" and relevant cluster objectives within it.lt/pgtltpgtAccording to FSLC and WASH general strategic approach, interventions in areas with high needs, but removed from the frontline, should focus on sustainable solutions that allow local population to rely less on in-kind support from humanitarian actors and become more self sufficient, capable of receiving and utilizing support through cash modality in the future.ltbrgtChkalivska hromada is entirely rural territory in dire need of support to agricultural livelihoods, severly damaged an diminished during russian occupation and ensuing deoccupation. RCC has carried out a needs assessment in the project areas, identifying over 40 vulnerable rural households in need of livelihoods support, and a pool of over 40 water wells in need of restoration. Based on these needs, within the framework of HRP 2024, and through consulations with relevant clusters' representatives, RCC has developed a comprehensive multi-sectoral intervention consisting of FSL and WASH components to address these needs and provide timely and efficient aid to the affected population through appropriate modalities.lt/pgtltpgtUnder FSL component RCC intends to provide pre-selected vulnerable 40 rural households (40 beneficiaries in total) with trainings in agriculture and entrepreneurship, and 3000.00 USD cash support each for agricultural livelihoods, thus comprehensively increasing their capacity to produce livelihoods and food items and through this support not only themselves, but their communities, through supply chain involvement.ltbrgtChkalivska hromada requires restoration of boreholes in order to have access to water for agriculture, so under WASH activity RCC intends to conduct through hired contractors restoration of 40 boreholes, thus securing access to water for agriculture for local population (1920 beneficiaries in total).ltbrgtThe aforementioned activities are complementary, as they insure and enable local population to support their basic needs in long term, and specifically for the coming farming season.ltbrgtRCC shall conduct both aforementioned activities as direct implementer without any sub-granting.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe activities mentioned shall be conducted in accordance with basic humanitarian principles, RCC policies and UHF requirements, incorporating protection mainstreaming, ensuring accountability to the affected population, and providing aid in safe and dignified manner.lt/pgtltpgtAll the outcomes and outputs for these activites, as well as means of verification, are standard for UHF and can be found in the Log Frame section of the proposal.lt/pgt
