Humanitarian Support to the Conflict and Drough-affected Population in Lainya and Kapoeta East and South The targeted population which include women, children, elderly, and people living with disability have been exposed to critical suffering due to lack of basic necessities such as food, water and shelter and have been experiencing abject poverty and the situation does not look to improve in future due to localized conflict exacerbated by the drought condition. Both hosts and the IDPs are in the same humanitarian catastrophe and hence the proposed support. The proposed project seeks to provide immediate live saving assistance to the most vulnerable in the affected populations with an express focus on food, WASH and NFIs. The project will achieve the following: Through this intervention, IR will aim to improve nutritional status of the target groups by providing food parcels to 6,000 individuals for at least 4 months. This will enable them to access immediate food and hence overcome the hunger they are suffering from. The programme will be delivered by the Food and NFI Officer with support from the M&E Lack of water has been reported through the assessment as the main need for the target population including the host community. IR will aim to identify and rehabilitate water sources to enable water availability. A total of 10 water source will be identified and rehabilitated. Once this is completed, it is expected to provide water to this community for a longer period. This approach is important in two folds, it provides immediate lifesaving and potable water for the affected groups, is better value for money and sustainable. The facilities will be also be accessed by the general population. As part of hygiene improvement for the emergency response, IR will construct 4 latrines with two blocks each to be used by the displaced population. This will help in reducing cases of hygiene and water related diseases being contracted by the target groups. Hygiene campaigns and sensitization will also be done through community Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Training (PHAST). This is aimed to target 3,000 people. This activity will be supported by the Emergency WASH Officer supported by Emergency Response Manager. Findings from the assessment indicate that civil population in Lainya is in dire need of NFI support. This is because homes and social facilities have been vandalized, houses burnt and people have fled to shelter in bushes under trees. Because of the continuous looting from armed groups, communities have also lost cooking sets including clothes. The situation is same for the Kapoeta East where hundreds have fled ethnic conflict and hosted in Kapoeta town with no shelter, NFI and other materials for household use. Through this intervention, a total of 4,800 HH will be targeted.

Economic Empowerment of Widows Through Enterprise Development in Pakistan The project aims to economically develop and empower the selected widowed families of District Bagh through enterprise development within a duration of 5 months by April 2018. It primarily focuses on the economic development of widows through provision of a solar powered sewing machine along with a solar lamp and mobile charger to aid in the market accessibility and continuous labour. Islamic Relief will provide training to the beneficiaries to enhance quality of the produce (i.e. one month training on cutting, stitching and basic embroidery) and make it sellable in the open market. The training cost will be charged to innovative funds. The prioritized beneficiaries are widows whose children are sponsored through IR’s Orphans Sponsorship Program (OTO) and those widows in District Bagh who fall under zakat category. They will be linked to the sale points in local market afterwards. A villager in rural Pakistan spends on average 14% of their monthly disposable income for alternate lighting . Furthermore, the lack of electricity hinders economic development, in both on grid and off grid areas, due to either regular outages, which leads to delay in production or require additional manual labour and therefore divert the efforts of poor entrepreneurs from lifting themselves out of poverty. Economic development of widowed families will consequently lead towards improved health and nutritional status and education of these widows and their families. It will not only introduce livelihood opportunities but will extend the working hours per day which resultantly increase and sustain the household income. Moreover, the solar light will benefit the children in their studies during load shedding. The selected families will be imparted training on cutting, stitching and basic embroidery or the quality of their existing skills will be enhanced. This project requires a strong collaboration both with a commercial partner and also IR’s Orphans Sponsorship Programme. The existing OTO team will extend support to project staff for execution of project activities. To make it sustainable, IR will build linkage with the commercial solar energy company to develop, install, and provide after sale service of the product to the orphan families in District Bagh, state of Azad Jammu and Kashmir.

Humanitarian Assistance to Rohingya People in Cox's Bazar To enhance primary healthcare services, the project will establish two primary health satellite clinics with a full time medical team who will conduct sensitive health checks and prescribe medicines where necessary. Major health issues will be referred to the camp hospital for further treatment. The project will also provide psycho-support to women and children by establishing friendly spaces where women and children are able to share their traumas and received psychosocial support, focusing on creative, positive and culturally appropriate activities such as sports and games to stimulate and engage women and children. The spaces will also reach out to others in the community through culture and drama activities. To improve WASH and personal hygiene, gender and culture sensitive WASH facilities will be installed, including bathing facilities with appropriate lighting, deep sanitary latrines, and hand washing basins. Deep tube wells will be installed in line with GoB NGO Affairs Bureau and WASH cluster recommendations. Innovative social behaviour change communications games will be conducted and materials distributed to influence a longer term change in WASH practices. Relevant NFIs will be provided to improve the living conditions, including (i) establishment of communal cooking spaces (for every 2 families) and provision of environment-friendly cooking stoves along with non-timber fuel made from rice husks to reduce the dangers of fires, inhalation of fumes; (ii) assistive devices for people with disabilities; (iii) installation of community solar street lights including solar systems to increase security and protection, and (iv) provision of blankets and warm clothes to help protect beneficiaries from upcoming winter cold wave. Islamic Relief (IR) has a long presence in Cox’s Bazar Districts, where it started its in-country orphan and child welfare operations in 1991, a program that has continued until today. In addition, IR has also implemented WASH intervention, food distributions during Ramadan and Qurbani and responded to different emergencies affecting the people in the district, the most recent of which was the Cyclone Mora response in August 2017. Cox’s Bazar has remained a strategic area of IR and IR has maintained a sub-field office in the district. However, given the current government restrictions on IR in working directly with Rohingyas in Cox’s Bazar, an unfortunate development that IR is striving to resolve, IR will implement the project with United Purpose which will directly manage the response with two local partners. UP will directly manage the project and provide technical support, capacity building and backstopping to the two local partners, namely Integrated Development Foundation (IDF) and Sheba Manab Kallyan Kendra (SMKK). It will coordinate with local administration, law enforcement agencies and wider humanitarian actors and rapidly implement the activities in the Balukhali 2 camp.

Workers’ Empowerment and Participation (WEP) Activity (Bangladesh):  Since the Rana Plaza building collapse in 2013, the GoB has made significant improvements in enforcing building and fire safety standards in many of the ready-made-garment (RMG) factories; however, working conditions and the rights of workers still remain problematic. In addition, continued modernization and automation of the RMG sector have reduced women's participation in factory jobs. Currently female workers comprise60 percent of the labor force in the export-oriented RMG factories. Domestic and gender-based violence has also increased as a result of loss of employment and income due to COVID-19. This activity promotes workers' right to engage in union organizing as well as due process in the justice system. USAID engages factory workers, owners, worker-led organizations, women entrepreneur associations, international and local NGOs, private sector companies, and the GoB to promote labor rights, especially for women who face inequalities in the workplace. It promotes positive engagement with the factory management and independent workers' organizations to advance workers' rights in the RMG and shrimp and fish processing factories and in workers' communities. The activity also provides legal assistance to workers and union members and supports unions by building their capacity to negotiate more robust collective bargaining agreements with employers. This IM meets the Labor ($2.7M) earmark. This activity is in line with the Integrated Country Strategy Mission Goal Two and U.S. government development objectives of improved democratic systems that promote transparency, accountability, and integrity and enhanced opportunities for an inclusive, healthy, educated society, and a robust economy.
