Performance Based Financing in Borana zone 2020-2022 Ethiopia has made steady improvements towards achieving its main health goals. There is good progress in reducing mortality
and morbidity among children and women. Over the last two decades, the under-five mortality rate declined from 166 deaths
per 100,000 live births in 2000 to 67 in 2016 and infant mortality rate (IMR) declined from 97 deaths per 100,000 live births
in 2000 to 48 deaths per 100,000 live births in 2016. Between 2000 and 2016, Contraceptive Prevalence Rate increased from
8 percent to 36 percent; births attended by skilled attendants increased from 6 percent to 28 percent and maternal mortality
(although still high) declined from 871 maternal deaths per 100 000 live births in 2000 to 412 in 2016. However, Ethiopia
remains one of the poorest countries in the world with lagging indicators in maternal and child health, especially neonatal
mortality. Equitable access to basic services is a concern, while quality of services and readiness of facilities to provide quality
services is a major hindrance to Universal Health Coverage (UHC). Financial protection from serious illness remains inadequate
and is one of the most challenging agendas for the next decades.

In Ethiopia, Cordaid started to showcase PBF in the arid and pastoralist Borana zone. After a participatory design process of
six months, the project officially started on May 1st, 2015. Stakeholders involved in the design of the PBF project in Borana were
among others the Oromia Regional Health Bureau (ORHB), the Borana Zonal Health Department (ZHD) and 4 Woreda (district)
Health Offices. Phase I of the PBF project ended on the 30th of June 2018. Since the results were positive, and contributed to an
increase in both the utilisation and the quality of health care services, the Borana ZHD and Cordaid jointly designed Phase II:
scaling up from 4 to 8 woredas, from 9 to 25 health facilities and from a catchment population of 125,918 to a population of
488,556. Phase II started in July 2018 and will end by December 2019. Both phases are supported by Cordaid own funding. Improved availability and accessibility of good quality healthcare at primary and secondary level in the Borana Zone (Oromia
Region, Ethiopia), and a stronger health system at large, which supports the progressive realization of Universal Health Coverage
(SDG 3.8) in this geographical area.”
transparency A total of 488.556 people living in the catchment area of (maximum) 25 targeted Health Facilities (or a total of 793,365 people, if we take the total catchment population of the two hospitals included in Phase II) in the 8 project Woredas will benefit from the project implementation.
Joint Emergency Appeal North Iraq 2014 (NIJR1) This project supports local people, IDPs and Syrian refugees who are (severely) affected by the crisis in 
Northern Iraq. It aims to improve their food security, living conditions and well-being through Shelter/ NFIs, 
food security, WASH and health care. Objective 1: Effective and efficient implementation of the actual humanitarian response
activities by the individual partner organizations. 
 Objective 2: Added value generated for key stakeholders (MoFA, UNOCHA, NIJR members, target populations, other JR leads) through the collaboration between the partners in the Joint Response. By working together, we strive to increase joint learning, synergies and complementarity, innovation and visibility. The general target group for this humanitarian response program consists of people who are (severely) affected by the crisis in Northern Iraq, be it resident population, IDPs or Syrian refugees living in camp and non-camp areas. Special attention is given to ethnic minorities who fled due the threat of the IS - including Christians, Yazidi and Shia Muslims. Within these groups most of the NGOs are targeting specific (vulnerable) sub-groups such as children, malnourished infants; female headed households, pregnant women/young mothers and elderly people.  

The total number of people reached by this Joint Humanitarian Appeal is approximately 341.377.  

A large percentage of the target group is being supported with activities in various sectors, for example Protection, Health and Shelter/ winterization support combined with WASH activities.
CAR JR4 (Joint budget) The Central African Republic (CAR) is emerging from the most violent conflict in its history, following the turmoil and chaos that supersede the government overthrow in March 2013. The crisis, initially politico-military, was transformed into an unprecedented inter-communal conflict. Following OCHA humanitarian update of 15 September 2017, the Central African Republic (CAR) is currently experiencing the worst displacement crisis since the conflict turned sectarian in 2013. 

Earlier on, in 2016, after the visit of Pope Franciscus and the formation of a new government, hopes raised to gain more stability. EU donors decided end 2016 to reserve funds mainly for stabilization and development activities as laid down in the 5-year National Recovery and Peacebuilding Plan (2017 – 2021), and therefor funds reserved for Humanitarian Response are very limited.

For that, JR members are going to the 4th phase of the response. 1. Save lives: affected populations confronted with sudden schocks have access to humanitarian assistance that preserves their survival and dignity. 
2. Respect fundamental rights: protection of affected population at risk of violation of their human rights is being reinforced. 
3. Preserve Human dignity: affected population at risk have acces to basic social services and their essential livelihood mechanisms are re-established. Conflict affected population, most vulnerable IDPs, host families and communities, children, youth & ex-combatants.
92,446 targeted individuals
CAR Joint Response 6 (COVID-19) For its 6th phase the The focus of the CARJR remains to save lives, respect basic rights and preserve human
dignity. This is leading by our humanitarian mandate to go there were the needs are. In the CAR the needs are everywhere, due to the history of the CAR, but the needs and gaps have been assessed to see where the CARJR
could fulfil its objective best, and have the most impact. Cordaid will be in Ouham-Pendé (Koui, Ngaoundaye, Bocaranga) and Mbomou (bangassou) implementing activities on WASH and FSL.  These sub-prefectures have the highest needs in the prefecture, and the focus will be on newly accessible return areas, including local partners and more national actors and state services to include then further in the response, initiating a humanitarian capacity strengthening process, which is part of phasing out of the areas. Lives saving and resilience strengthening of conflict affected people in the Ouham-Pendé and Mbomou prefectures in CAR Most vulnerable population in targeted areas, according to vulnerability criteria.
The beneficiaries of this project are represented from : 
(i) Widows, girl (heads of household), widowers, persons with disability (reduced mobility), persons with children in poor nutritional situation, unemployed young people (boys and girls) who have left the armed groups among the internal returnees who have lost the livelihood and who had moved to neighboring sub-prefectures or secure and safe localities and villages;  
(ii) The same as above among voluntary repatriates who had taken refuge in neighboring countries, particularly in TChad and Cameroon in the case of the prefecture of Ouham-Pendé and in the DRC in the case of the Mbomou prefecture; and lastly ; 
(iii) Host families/host families who had remained in the area or returned for more than a year and who welcomed the returnees in their family.
COASTS Bangladesh lies along the Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta, Asia’s largest and the world’s most densely populated delta. As per SRDI, over 30% of the cultivable area of Bangladesh lies in the coastal and offshore zones, with the area under salinity increasing year on year due to rising sea levels - from 0.83 million hectares to 1.056 million hectares over 36 years (in 2010). The severity of this situation is reflected in the prediction by scientists that food production in Bangladesh will decline by 50% in the coming decades. Coupled with the fact that more than 35 million people live in the coastal belt of Bangladesh, salinization exposes a huge proportion of vulnerable farmers to risks from climate change related challenges.
Per day an average of 2.000 hectares of production land is lost to salinization and a total of 62 million hectares of agricultural land, an area 18 times the size of the Netherlands, has been affected by salinization. Climate change has exacerbated this further. Rising sea levels, more frequent and longer drought periods, scarcity of fresh water and large amounts of shallow saline groundwater have caused more salt to accumulate in the soil than the rain could wash out. The worst affected countries and regions in the world are Central Asia, Pakistan, and Bangladesh.
Based on ICCO’s previous Research and Development project Saline Tolerant Agriculture in Bangladesh (STAB), and the Food Security and nutrition project- The Salt Solution (TSS), ICCO identified the needs and gaps to be worked through a new scale-up project like making salt-tolerant seeds and saline agriculture technologies, available for the coastal salinity affected farmers, enabling environment for extension of saline agriculture, strengthening local level output aggregation and marketing system etc. The goal of this project is “By 2024, 5000 hectares of coastal fallow land in Southern Bangladesh is sustainably utilized for diverse local food production and consumption”.
Project objective is to support 10,000 farmers (of which 50% women) to transform 5,000 hectares of fallow land into productive agricultural land by introducing saline agriculture farming practices. Target Beneficiaries are Coastal Salinity affected farmers/ people in Bangladesh
1. 10000 Direct and 20000 Indirect farmers
2. 40 Farm Business Advisors (local entrepreneurs)
3. 16 Nursery Owners,
4. 16 Collection Point Management Committees
CARJR7 -Member The Central African Republic is going through a deep crisis characterized by generalized insecurity caused by - the presence and activism of armed groups, - inter-community and religious tensions, - the issue of transhumance, - the weak presence of state services at the local level, - the contestation of the electoral process, - bad governance, etc. 
This being the case, the country continues to face a serious protection crisis, despite the signing of the Political Agreement for Peace and Reconciliation on February 6, 2019. As a result, civilians continue to pay the highest price for the violence. 
It is estimated that more than half of the population, or 2.6 million people, are in need, of which 1.7 million are in acute need of humanitarian assistance, half of whom are children (HNO 2020). One in four Central Africans have been forced to flee due to insecurity and threats, and an estimated 658,929 people are internally displaced as of July 31, 2020.  In addition, the Covid-19 pandemic has exacerbated the vulnerabilities of the most marginalized groups. Unfortunately, communities have shown resistance to the humanitarian response to Covid-19, as there is mistrust and misconceptions that it is a "stranger's disease" concentrated in Bangui, when it may not exist outside the capital. 
The challenges of access to water remain enormous. Only 68% of the country's water needs are not covered and 70% of sanitation needs are not covered, which places the country among the least developed in the world. The different population movements have not allowed the population to cultivate during the agricultural season A 2020: they live to 90% of the products of the fields, for food and as sources of income. Thus, more than ¾ of the population is in phase 3+ (crisis) with a probability of slipping to phase 4 (emergency) and 5 (famine) if no assistance is provided and stability guaranteed. To contribute to human lives saving, respect of fundamental rights and the preservation of human dignity. As indicated in the above paragraphs, the targeted prefectures and sub-prefectures are characterized by the return of people who left their villages and localities because of the crisis. 
Thus, the beneficiaries of the activities planned in this proposal will be internal returnees, repatriates from neighboring countries, and their host families. In case of the presence of IDP sites/camps or at least IDPs in host families, the latter will also be considered as primary beneficiaries. Depending on their vulnerability, host families will also be considered beneficiaries. 
Beyond the status and within the latter, women and girls who are heads of households without support, women and girls living alone and without support, widows and widowers who are heads of households without support, people living with disabilities and without support, the elderly, and families with malnourished children.
Drought response Zimbabwe – ZZJR 2020 (COVID-19) The DRA has approved 4mln EUR for an acute drought response in Southern Africa. The response will be in Zambia and Zimbabwe, focused on FSL, WASH and nutrition. Implementation will be done by 8 DRA members: CARE, Cordaid, ICCO, Oxfam, PLAN, Save, SOS, World Vision provide life saving assistance to the drought affected population Severly drought affected population in targeted districts in Zimbabwe
Ukraine Joint Response Phase 2 (UKJR2) The program targets the most vulnerable people (the elderly and women and children) in the Buffer Zone in Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts (GCA) and Zaporizhzhia oblast. Cordaid with partner Caritas Ukraine is providing (winter proof) emergency shelter, food, medicines, multipurpose cash and mental health as children in particular, are suffering from mental health problems caused by the war. Emergency shelter and NFI’s (winterization): - 300 households are able to cope with the winter through heating supplies and stoves - 250 households are able to cover their basic needs through the distribution of cash Food: - 1,500 household will receive food parcels Income generation: - 90 households will receive a cash grant to be used to set up small farming activities (Mental) Health: - 1,700 households have access to medicines through provision of medical kits or money for medicines - 1,000 people (with special focus on children) will benefit from psycho-social support activities Cordaid is targeting almost 8,000 most vulnerable people such as elderly people, women and children and single headed households Luhansk, Dontesk and Zaporizhzhia Oblasts.
Yemen Joint Response 2020-2021 The humanitarian crisis in Yemen remains the worst in the world and over four years of intense conflict, as well as severe economic decline coupled with recent famine and cholera, has put millions of people at risk. An estimated 80 per cent of the population – 24 million people – require some form of humanitarian or protection assistance (HNO 2019). Within the most affected areas are Cordaid/ Yamaan’s targeted locations for the YRJ 2020: Hudaidah (lHali, Alhawk and Bait AlFageeh) and Sana’a (Maeen, Sabeen and Bani Hareth). Both governorates are in great need of assistance: Hudaidah continues to be target for many air strikes since the beginning of the year, driving new and secondary displacement, depleting coping mechanisms of the affected population, aggravating humanitarian conditions. Currently Hudaydah has 2.7 million people in need (61% in acute need) whilst in Sana’a 1.1 million people are in need (30% in acute need) . The objectives of the project are to save lives through increasing access to basic health services Based up selection criteria following cluster guidelines, the Health Facilities will be selected for rehabilitation. Cordaid/ Yamaan will target areas where facilities are either lacking or inadequate, where large number of IPDs have arrived. For the distribution of cash for NCD, the diseases will be selected according to needs assessment. Cordaid/ Yamaan will obtain a list of patients from SCMCHA and MoPHP and will then verify eligibility the beneficiaries. The patients selected for treatment with Sickle Cell Anemia & Thalassemia will also be selected in cooperation with SCMCHA and the Association of Sickle Cell Anemia and Thalassemia in  Hodeidah, and it will include patients in most need and who need blood transfusion. Additionally, the association will be strengthened as well.
Joint Budget AFJR4 Cordaid will continue as the Lead for the next phase of the Afghanistan Joint Response. Now in fourth phase the organisation will continue to provide activities in the sectors of WASH, shelter and FSL. The consortium includes four other members (Oxfam Novib, Terre des Hommes, SV/IRC and ZOA) and the focus areas will be Nangarhar and Kunduz The overall objective of the AFJR2019 is to contribute to the life-saving protection and assistance needs of conflict, natural disaster affected and internally displaced persons, returning Afghans and their host community. 
In total the response will target 59,760 individuals (without double counting). The AFJR2019 will target conflict and natural disaster affected and internally displaced persons, returning Afghans and their host community. Special attention will be given to women and children as they are disproportionally affected in all sectors and geographical areas. As mentioned before, the AFJR2019 are aiming to improve their beneficiary targeting by developing sector specific selection criteria. The previously used vulnerability criteria will be included.
Bayan II: Inclusive governance and improved security through influencing The Bayan II programme follows a one-year pilot project, ‘Bayan: Connecting Afghans for Women’s Rights’, which established a dedicated, indigenous social media platform – Bayan- and created the foundation for a cohesive partnership between the respective Dutch INGOs and Afghan CSOs. Bayan II aims to achieve three outcomes to reduce violence against women and increase effective participation of women in political processes. These outcomes are: Increasingly responsive security sector, 2) Increased public awareness and community support on inclusion, protection and participation, and 3) More qualified female politicians. local women

Ethiopia Tigray Joint Response (ETJR) Since the conflict between a federal military force and the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), thousands of people’s lives has been impacted and worsening the already poor humanitarian situation. At least 222,413 people are internally displaced as a result of the conflict, while 58,334 people have fled into neighboring Sudan (UNHCR, 2020). Additionally, at least 63,000 have been displaced within Amhara and Afar (UNICEF, 2021). According to the Emergency Coordination Center (ECC) 4,5 million people need direct food assistance as a result of insecurity on imports and the harvest. Before the conflict started, a total of 507,000 already received food assistance. 

Two months since the start of the conflict in Tigray, the humanitarian situation continues to critically deteriorate. Dire shortages of the most basic supplies, including food, water, fuel and cash affect the whole region, leading to a looming humanitarian catastrophe. With access to water, sanitation & health services seriously disrupted, humanitarians warned about the heightened risk of water-borne & vector-borne diseases, as well as COVID-19. The situation in and around the four refugee camps, which together host 96,000 refugees, is absolutely dire. Many people, including 5 NGO staff members, were killed during the horrific atrocities that took place during attacks (UN OCHA, 2021). Despite declaring the completion of the war, fighting continues and the situation in Tigray remains extremely volatile. Sporadic fighting in rural areas is reported on a weekly and sometimes even daily basis. The security situation is dire, especially in peripheral areas and villages around Mekelle, where looting and other incidents are still occurring. Despite the challenging security environment, humanitarians continue to deliver limited assistance with available resources and in the limited areas where access is relatively  permissive. Provide life-saving assistance to people facing severe acute needs. A total of 3,778 beneficiaries will receive food and Shelter supports by the two local partners(EOC-DICAC and Caritas Ethiopia). 2000 people will be supported food items and 1,778 people will get Shelter Items(NFIs).  All partners and their local implementing partners have agreed to follow the same five guiding rules for beneficiary selection and targeting.

Beneficiaries are selected through involvement of local government, community elders and partners, selecting the most vulnerable through agreed criteria. Selection criteria of most vulnerable are in line with cluster guidelines and include: - Female Headed Household; - Child Headed Household; - Disabled Headed Household; - Elderly Headed Household with no adults having an income;
