Winterization Assistance to the Most Vulnerable Affected and Displaced Populations in Afghanistan Afghanistan is facing critical humanitarian needs, with the winter season posing particular risks for families unable to adequately prepare for severe weather conditions. In responding to these needs, IOM will provide critical winterization support to displaced and otherwise vulnerable families through the distribution of Cash-for-Winterization (heater/fuel) to 8,000 families; Provision of complementary non-food item (NFI) assistance to 6,500 families (blanket and warm clothing); and Distribution of Cash-for-Shelter Repair/upgrade to 840 families. A total of 61,880 individuals (average 7 persons per family) will be directly targeted for assistance. Each of the three interventions: Cash-for-shelter, Cash-for-winterization and complementary NFI support will have different beneficiaries selected for each intervention. The beneficiaries selection will be done through joint need assessments (using winterization needs assessment tool for winterization assistance and shelter assessment tool for shelter repair/upgrade) together with other humanitarian partners in the provinces. This will be undertaken in coordination with relevant operational partners in the targeted provinces including De Facto authorities at Afghanistan National Disaster Management Authority (ANDMA) HQ and provinces, Ministry of Refugee and Repatriation (MoRR) and Directorate of Refugees and Repatriation (DoRRs). IOM will also closely coordinate the assessment and distribution with UNHCR, as both agencies have CERF funding for complementary activities.

Reintegration and Shelter Support to Returnees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and Host Communities in Burundi Since the inauguration of a new government in Burundi, following elections in May-June 2020, there is an improvement of the political and security situation in the country. This has contributed to the voluntary return of a considerable number of refugees from neighbouring countries to their provinces of origin and others continue to express willingness to return home. In most areas of return, the availability of financial resources, basic shelter and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services are already strained, and currently stretched even further with the arrival of returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have been negatively affected by disasters (mainly floods, landslides, torrential rains). This project aims to contribute to the longer-term support, reintegration, recovery and resilience of returnees, IDPs, and their communities through: (1) implementing small grants mechanisms aimed at conflict prevention and peace building and livelihoods trainings; (2) the provision of shelter, non-food items, and sanitation and hygiene support for vulnerable displaced populations; and (3) strengthening the delivery of direct assistance and services to meet land access-related protection needs and risks experienced by returnees, including through already strengthened mapping of services, referrals, and case management.

The objective of this project is to support the Government of Burkina Faso to strengthen the capacities of local authorities in Mane and Bokin municipalities (as pilot municipalities) on MECC nexus, with the overall objective of mainstreaming it into local planning. It is expected that local authorities and relevant stakeholders will be better equipped to mitigate the risks linked to climate induced migration. Similarly, the awareness sessions will also foster the dialogue between the government and the communities on the challenges faced related to migration and environment in order to be able to replicate activities in other regions.
Disability Inclusion Assessment Despite the increased frequency of disability data collection efforts in internally displaced persons (IDP) sites, the broader humanitarian community still possesses fragmented information about persons with disabilities living in Somalia IDP sites, and the barriers they face in accessing humanitarian services. In addition to an absence in comprehensive disability data, humanitarian service providers continue to lack a clear understanding of the barriers and challenges those persons with disabilities face in Somalia IDP sites. Therefore, there is a need for an extensive disability inclusion assessment in IDP sites that both look to collect important demographic data on persons with disabilities, in addition to illustrating methods for tailored delivery of humanitarian services to persons with disabilities in IDP sites. The assessment applies an intersectional gender lens and takes into account the needs and the specific challenges faced by different sex and age groups; and supports the integration of identified corrective actions to address barriers and challenges in the inclusion of persons with disabilities in humanitarian response.
