Emergency Lifesaving food security support to disaster affected communities in Somalia. The proposed Emergency Response project is designed to provide immediate lifesaving and life-sustaining support to the drought Affected Communities in the Wajid district of Bakool region. It sets out to make a rapid response to the deteriorating humanitarian conditions for drought-affected populations who have shifted to the IDP camps because of loss of livelihoods and productive assets due to the worsening drought in their villages. Secondly, the project will support pastoral and agro-pastoral communities who are on the move and or are likely to move due to loss of livelihoods and depleting productive livelihoods as a result of worsening drought.
The overall objective of this project is: “Drought-affected populations in Bakool region of Southcentral Somalia have improved access to food and are able to protect productive assets”, with the specific objective: “Drought-affected communities in Bakool ( Wajid district) meet their basic food needs and protect their remaining livestock”. 

The proposed project design addresses the Food Security cluster strategic response objectives which read as (Improving Access to Food through Conditional and Unconditional Transfers (Cash, Vouchers, and In-Kind). NRC will provide unconditional cash transfers (UCT) to 650 HHs' most vulnerable households in following IDP camps: 
185 HHs in Buurhuxunle 
220 HHs in Mubarak
245 HHs in Towfiq
NRC will provide cash plus support (UCT and Water) to the beneficiaries in following villages: 
220 HHs in Kulmiye Village and 
230 HHs in Tawakal village.
Cash at the rate of USD 90/HH/ Month will be transferred using electronic mobile money transfer services of Hormuud. Electronic transfers are safe, and money is instantly transferred to the intended beneficiaries transferred. UCT will be provided over a period of three (3) months in the IDP and off-camp areas according to the cash and market working group’s (CMWG) recommended transfer value. In tandem with the provision of UCT, 450 HHs in the off-camp areas will also be provided water for livestock using water trucking. Following LEGS guidelines, 20 liters of water per animal per day has been calculated and will be provided over a period of three months. In total every registered HHs for cash plus will receive 955 liters of water per month over a period of three months. The provision of water will ensure livestock survival from dehydration and benefiting households will be able to get back to production from these productive assets once the situation improves.

The monitoring and Evaluation team will collect Post distribution monitoring (PDM) data from the benefiting households after 2 weeks of distribution of UCT and water. The collected data will be analyzed, and a report will be generated. This will give an idea of the expenditure and utilization of the monthly cash transfers and provided inputs (water). In time monitoring of the expenditure, patterns will help NRC to take remedial actions if there are deviations from objectives.

Provision of life saving WASH services and ensure dignity for drought affected  communities in Luuq District, Gedo region Somalia The high humanitarian needs in Somalia have been driven by severe drought conditions and acute water diarrhoea/ cholera outbreaks exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. To address the severity of drought to communities in Somalia COOPI proposes to provide emergency and sustained WASH solutions in the hard to reach rural areas of Luuq District, Gedo region. Eight-target villages will receive lifesaving assistance through provision of emergency water vouchers that will benefit 13632 people or 2272 households. The vouchers will be redeemed form competent water vendors redeemed during fetching at temporal distribution points for one month. As an exit strategy and for sustained access to clean water COOPI will construct  3 No new water supply systems whose water sources will be 3No.infiltration deep wells with solar pumping benefiting 6000 people. In addition COOPI will rehabilitate 3 No shallow wells that will be protected and upgraded to motorized pumping using solar and benefiting 4060 people. To ensure sustainability of the rehabilitated water supply systems, 30 members of established water committees will be trained on operation and maintenance as well as in components of Disaster Risk Reduction.   Effective hygiene promotion is universally recognized as one of the most effective tools for reducing the incidence of diarrheal diseases following disasters thus COOPI proposes to conduct hygiene promotion campaigns targeting the same nine  villages focusing disease preventions particularly AWD/Cholera. The activity will include distribution of hygiene kits to 2272 households of the most vulnerable with female specific hygiene items. Poorly managed solid wastes have several negative effects and impact on human health and the environment. In this regard, and  to prevent open defecation COOPI will construct separate single units of 112  latrines for the new  non disabled IPDs and 56 for the IDPs living with disabilities  in 9 sites and distribute 38 sets of sanitation tools to the 9 target sites in Luuq. The tools  will to support the communities actively participate in clean-up campaigns for solid waste collection, removal and appropriate disposal and thereby contribute in creating immediate and long-term solutions for their villages. COOPI will ensure that all WASH services will be provided without causing harm while promoting accountability and participation of beneficiaries in the provision of WASH assistance
Provision of Essential Camp Coordinator and Camp Management Services to ensure basic service provision for the drought-affected Sites residents in Deynille District. In summary, this project proposes to contribute to three core aspects of Camp Coordination and Camp Management in the Daynille District, including leading essential coordination functions critical in creating an equitable and fast emergency response for the drought-affected IDPs. Providing site-level maintenance activities critical to service provision and ensuring that community structures necessary for the community are available to drought-displaced populations across the site. Developing and maintaining camp infrastructures through incentivized workdays carried out by site-level site maintenance committees, and promoting humanitarian accountability through the operation of feedback and complaint mechanisms. Moreover, this project will also focus on providing site-level data on new arrivals and gaps in service provision, which is critical to the overall drought response in IDP sites leading to efficient aid and service delivery to the affected population in the Deynille district.

NoFYL will continue to work regularly with IDP camp leadership and committees to strengthen collaboration and their participation in decision-making processes, while also striving to improve diversity in representation and gender balance in the governance structure. As NoFYL anticipates, new arrivals will continue to seek shelter within the sites and spontaneous settlements throughout the project period, NoFYL's Camp Management team will support this population with the reception and provide risk communication and community engagement with the IDP members and leaders on accepting drought-displaced populations in their sites while promoting peaceful co-existence and social cohesion with host communities.

This overarching objective will be achieved by enhancing the overall protective environment for drought-affected populations, increasing access to basic services linked to different sectors, reducing the risk, and providing specialized support assistance to beneficiaries to help address other interconnected protection concerns. 

The action is also conceptualized to consolidate the ongoing humanitarian response to the drought situation in the Deynille district. Through this grant, NoFYL will reach 5,800 households in 10 umbrella camps (considering a minimum of 180 households per settlement) with a total target beneficiary of 35,122 in the Daynille district, with necessary services through a coordination mechanism set in place with relevant stakeholders and other partners.
Providing assistance and protection services to displaced and affected populations in South Gaalkacyo through enhanced site management and coordination. Within six months, DRC aims to improve the living conditions and overall protection environment of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) residing in 34 sites in South Gaalkacyo. Through its role as the leading CCCM actor in Gaalkacyo, DRC will ensure safe and equitable access to multi-sectoral services and assistance to displaced-affected communities, that is inclusive of vulnerable and marginalized groups. 24,468 individuals (5,080 men, 5,679 women, 6,294 boys, and 7,415 girls) will benefit from the establishment and/or strengthening of coordination structures through camp management committees (CMCs), site maintenance works, mapping, and the provision of information on available services and providers within the targeted locations, as well as the recruitment of community outreach workers from within the IDP community, to respond to any new influxes of arrivals in a timely manner. This approach will also build local capacities on Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) targeting IDPs, DRC staff, and the local government. Protection mainstreaming, being key to the intervention, will be an overarching activity throughout the implementation of the proposed activities. Coordination efforts with other actors and their ability to respond through the provision of humanitarian services will be crucial for the realization of the overall objective. In particular, DRC proposes to second a CCCM Officer to the minority rights organization Puntland Minority Women’s Development Organization (PMWDO) as a step towards partnership. PMWDO has a good understanding of the context and will act as a WASH partner in Gaalkacyo. They will add value in their technical support to the DRC team on issues of minority inclusion and ensuring better integration of programming, and receive mentorship on DRC’s approach to CCCM.  By incorporating a CCCM staff member from their organization, this person will provide technical guidance on targeting marginalized groups, liaise with their WASH team to ensure integrated programming, and receive mentorship in DRC’s CCCM approach. This first step will provide a platform to strengthen the working relationship between the two organizations, to be built upon in further projects to improve DRC’s ability to target the most vulnerable for assistance and counteract entrenched dynamics of exclusion.
Increased  Immediate Access to Food  and Protection of  Livestock  for Drought  Affected IDP and Non-IDP households  in Elwak District This project has two outputs. The first output seeks to improve immediate access to food to  570 drought-affected households  (400  IDP and 170 non-IDP) drought-affected households in Elwak District through conditional and unconditional cash transfers. The beneficiary population includes 3420 persons -754 men, 785 women, 941 boys, and 941 girls. 10% of the beneficiaries are projected to be persons with disabilities.  170 households’ representatives will be directly engaged in cash for work in the restoration of community productive assets ( 2 berkards and 3 earth pans). The productive assets will benefit 910 households (5460 persons- 1204 men, 1253 women, 1502 boys, and 1502 girls). The project will primarily target women-headed households with cash transfer interventions due to their increased vulnerability and due to their primary role as caretakers of the households.  Registration of beneficiaries will ensure that only contacts of these women are used during cash transfers. This will ensure that the women have control over the use of the funds in providing household food. 
The second output seeks to support 200 households (1200 persons -265 men, 275 women, 330boys, and 330 girls ) with life-saving water for their 6000 shoats and lifesaving fodder for  1000 emaciated shoats. NAPAD animal health officer will collaborate with the community leaders to identify the most vulnerable households and further identify the most emaciated shoats that will be targeted with the water and fodder. NAPAD will also partner with the administration, camp leadership, the clan, and community leadership to identify the most vulnerable beneficiaries to benefit from cash transfers.  NAPAD will then conduct beneficiary registration and verification to ensure the accuracy of the targeting process. The 5-month project will be implemented on 15th March 2022 and end on 14  August  2022.
Emergency lifesaving of integrated health and nutrition services for drought affected populations in Tiyegolow district in Bakool region According to FSNAU post deyr assessment released in September 2022, an estimated 6.7 million people across Somalia face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity outcomes. About 2.2 million people  in Somalia are expected to be in IPC Phase 4 and at least 300,000 people to be catastrophe(IPC phase 5). the health and nutrition indicators among children and women are also alarming with very high GAM (lt15%) reported in Tiyeglow reported. GRRN  in partnership with UNICEF is currently providing nutrition services covering 30 % of SAM caseload. the health services are also missing and fragmented due to lack of funding to complement with limited nurtion interventions leaving huge gap in provision of integrated health and nutrition services. This call for proposals is for the scale up of health and nutrition interventions (2 fixed health/nutrition , 1SC and one  mobile IERT team)  with the main focus on child survival and reproductive health intervention to prevent morbidity and mortality among children and women targeting 18,000 drought affected population including minority/marginalized groups within the catchment areas. Emphasis will be on maternal, neonatal, and child health /nutrition interventions including emergency immunization to the host communities and IDPs, MUAC screening as well as referral of cases and scale up prevention interventions (micronutrient supplements , health education, hygiene promotion). Building the capacity of health workers through training on integrated management of acute illness IMCI,  IMAM/IYCF Cholera/measles case management and community case management CCM will be done to equip health workers with the required skills to deliver quality health/nutrition services. GRRN has multiyear PD with UNICEF nutrition section will scale up with additional staff to screen and treat at least 70% of SAM/MAM burden  using simplified protocol under expanded admission criteria. in addition GRNN will establish stabilization center in Tiyeglow district for treatment of children with SAM complication
Provide life-saving WASH services to the most vulnerable and underserved communities in Qansaxdhera district in Bay region Bay region continue to face a severe water shortage leading to increasing water prices which affects 1.6 million people in South west. Water shortage is one of the main drivers of displacement among rural population in Bay region. According to the CCM Cluster new arrival tracker Qansaxdhere continues to top the list of districts which register the highest number of drought displaced population. Water sources depletion and water quality decline has increased water prices and led to breakdown of boreholes due to long hours of operation and lack of maintenance. According to WASH Cluster the main boreholes serving both IDPs, and host community have failed to function and about 50,000 people are facing acute water shortage in the district. 
To respond to the crisis, prevent further displacement and avert risk of famine in Qansaxdhere SAMA aims to deliver life-saving WASH response that reduces acute WASH needs among most vulnerable communities including men, women, boys and girls in a dignified manner. In line with the cluster and SHF allocation response strategy, the project will deliver  integrated WASH assistance to 11,000 drought affected population  ( 2,750 women , 3,300 girls , 3,300 boys , 1650 men )

Each HP kit consists (1 jerry can (20L), 1 bucket (20L), 5 bars of 800mg of soap ,1 menstrual hygiene and 200 aqua tabs). SAMA will adopt Market Based Programming (MBP) in support of the local market markets, hygiene supplies will be procured locally.
Improved access to water for drought-affected communities in Las Anod Through the proposed action, Oxfam aims to reach 38,5000 people in total (20,790 women and 17,710 men) with live-saving WASH interventions aiming to mitigate the devastating effects of the deteriorating drought in Somalia. Oxfam will work in affected communities in Sool (Lasanood district) with a focus on Internally displaced persons (IDPs) and hard-to-reach rural areas displaying high levels of food insecurity (IPC 3 and 4). The Action targets the most vulnerable people affected by recurring drought and ongoing conflict in Somalia, particularly those at risk of disease outbreak due to severe lack of safe access to clean water, hygiene, and sanitation practices.  The proposed action will seek to support communities through provision of emergency water, and ensuring sustainable water structures are in place (rehabilitation and extension of water sources, construction of a weir dam). The action will also seek to address sanitation and hygiene needs of affected communities through construction of shared household latrines and provision of hygiene kits. 
Meaningful inclusive community engagement and accountability are key to the sustainability of the Action: interventions are community-based and coordinated with both communities and local authorities. Community volunteers and committees further lead the management and maintenance of rehabilitated or constructed WASH structures.
