FCDO Global Mine Action Programme Angola (GMAP 2) 2018-2022 - LOT 1 The HALO Trust, Mines Advisory Group (MAG), The Geneva International Centre for Humanitarian Demining (GICHD), and the Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) have formed a partnership as leading global mine action organisations to deliver a comprehensive response to FCDO's requirement for Humanitarian Mine Action activities in Angola, Cambodia, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. The three organisations have decades of experience in delivering relevant activities across the four countries, and draw on the additional expertise of GICHD and other partners for specific inputs towards delivery of the expected outcomes and impact. HALO leads the LOT 1 Consortium approach to implementing the project. This project aims to save lives and increase livelihoods in Angola, Cambodia, Somalia, and Zimbabwe by clearing landmines and other explosive items, responding to EOD callouts, providing risk education, and providing capacity building to local partners. The target groups for this project are communities suffering from the threat of landmines and other explosive remnants of war in Angola, Cambodia, Somalia, and Zimbabwe. These are women, men, girls, and boys who are at-risk from or whose socio-economic development is hindered by landmines or other explosive remnants of war. The target group for the capacity building are local implementing partners.

Improving health services for the people of Ngoula area, Niger Niger ranks 187th out of 187 countries in the Human Development Index, making it the poorest country in the world. This extreme level of poverty is caused by a number of interlinked factors such as geography, climate and food insecurity. More than 60 per cent of the population of Niger live below the poverty line and are unable to meet their most basic needs including food, water, clothing, access to education and healthcare.
The remote area of Ngoula, where this project is based, is situated 130kms from the city of Niamey, in the south west of Niger. Roads are very poor and disappear during the rainy season. The only long established items of infrastructure are a primary school, a secondary school and boreholes for drinking water built by the Catholic Church. At the request of the community, a health centre was also constructed in 2013, with 10 beds for inpatients. The centre has been providing good services to the community for the last two years, including support to malnourished children, vaccinations and maternity care. It was agreed that the government of Niger would take over management of the Health Centre in 2015. However, this agreement has not been fulfilled and the Health Centre requires urgent support. Over 16,000 people live in Ngoula and the nearest hospital is 80kms away. Ngoula Health Centre is a vital lifeline for rural communities. In 2015, a total of 225 babies were born in the Health Centre. Without these facilities, the babies would have been born at home and if complications had arisen, their mothers would have had no access to medical support. The Health Centre also provides a range of care for those with malaria, respiratory infections and skin diseases, for example. The goal of this project is to improve health services for 12,600 patients at Ngoula Health Centre. Our partner CADEV Niamey will focus on reaching malnourished children between 0 and 5 years of age, as well as pregnant and breast-feeding mothers.
Support to CADEV Strategic planning process CADEV Niger underwent a total restructuring of the organisation that led to the merging of the Development Office then known as BALD and Caritas whose main priority was emergency. A strategic plan was drawn and has been implemented since. In 2010 the plan was evaluated and CADEV decided to embark on the drawing of the second 5 years Strategic plan to cover 2012 to 2016. The drawing of this plan coincided with the setting up of the CAFOD Niger office and the time when CAFOD is also drawing its country strategy paper for Niger.

This restructuring and strategic plan will help carry a profound analysis  on the roles played by different bodies that make up CADEV Niger such as the Local committees for solidarity (CSD) at the grassroots levels, the role and make up of diocesan offices, redefine relationship between diocesan offices and CSDs, the role of the National coordination office, review CADEV mandate, etc.

The strategic plan will also help set and determine new orientations for the coming five years, determine CADEV  domain of intervention, set new strategic objectives and draw a realistic operational plan. The total cost of this project is of €52243 for which CADEV has made a contribution of €17532 and is requesting €34712 from its partners including CAFOD.
CRS Emergency Strategy Proposal to Address Food Insecurity in Niger 2010 CRS will focus on emergency food security interventions to assist severely affected communities in the Ouallam, Tillabery, Tanout, and Doutchi Departments. Activities include: Cash-for-Work, targeted direct food distribution, food vouchers, supplementary feeding. CRS will also support recovery following the poor harvest in 2009 and hold seed fairs for both rain fed and off season crops. In total, 44,368 vulnerable households will be targeted
Health and Nutrition Improvement Project Phasing Out - Part 1 This is the first year of a two years phasing out process of a health and nutrition rehabilitation intervention which CAFOD has supported since 2006. Islamic Relief's has been supporting existing therapeutic and supplementary feeding centres, training primary healthcare workers and raising community awareness on nutrition. The proposed intervention will support 15 Supplementary and 3 Therapeutic Feeding Centres in Tilliberri, Ouallam and Tera Districts focusing on treatment of malnutrition in nationally owned health centres, also supported by UNICEF and WFP. Training and capacity building of staff will be key to ensure that Tillaberri region has systems and capacity to treat cases of malnourished children in the future.
Scaling-up Resilence to Climate extremes in the Niger River Basin -BRACED-CADEV Niger Staff Costs Following the DFID BRACED appeal, CAFOD, CRS and other Caritas in the Sahel region submitted a proposal to DFID which has been approved. During the planning phase CAFOD agreed to make a financial contribution of £24,551 towards salaries and communication costs for CADEV Niger during year 1. 
The contract is about to be signed between CRS and CAFOD
Emergency assistance to households victims of food insecurity in Niger The 2011-2012 agro-pastoral season was characterised by scarcity of rains, uneven distribution of rain pattern and the presence of enemies of crops such as caterpillars and crickets. In most regions people were able to plant (sow) but unfortunately rains stopped quite suddenly making it difficult for crops to grow while some crops just withered. In some areas, crops were attacked either by crikets or caterpillars. Where crops were attacked by caterpillars people used preventive measures to harvest earlier. All these factors led to a poor harvest. The official assessment of the 2011-2012 agro-pastoral season carried out by Government services found out a national food deficit of 692,000 Tons. Findings of the vulnerability assessment carried out by the Early Warning System in November 2011 showed that as many as 5,458,871 people (34.9% of the total population of Niger) are food insecure of which 1,324,435 are severely food insecure. Regions most affected by foos insecurity are Tahoua (8,6%) ; Tillabéri (8,5%) ; Niamey Outskirts (7,3%) and Maradi (6,7%). Data from other sources such as CADEV Niger own network through their presence in many regions confirm the fact that many people are food insecure. Different assessments of the situation have also shown that rural  female headed households are the most affected.

Besides fodd deficit, it has also been found that there is scarcity of fodders for animal feed estimated to 10,222,000 Tons representing 50% of the total consumption for livestock.

Due to the overwhelming needs, CADEV Niger decided to write a proposal to appeal to CI Member Organisation to help them respond to the situation alongside other actors. CADEV Niger is conceived to help relieve the suffering of the populations affected by food insecurity in Niger following the 2011 bad agro-pastoral season. The response will cover the following activities  spread through the project duration: Cash for Work/Food for Work (March-June 12), Subsdised food prices at community levels (Mai-June 12), Food distribution (June-August 12), Supplying livestock feed/fodders (March-May 12), Provision of food support to families of malnourished children (March-Dec 12) and Seed fairs (mai-June 12).
Niger Emergency Accompanier's salary At CADEV Niger request, CAFOD accepted to hire an accompanier to support CADEV Niger throughout the implementation of the Emergency Appeal (EA 09/12) for which CAFOD made a generous contribution. The Accompanier will be working directly with the EA Project Officer providing the much needed support in terms of follow up, monitoring, report writing, standrads adherence, etc. The post holder will be matrix managed between the CADEV Niger and CAFOD Programme Manager based in Niamey. The salary of the incumbent will be paid by CAFOD through CADEV Niger. An eight months' contract has been issued signed between the Accompanier and CADEV Niger who is officially and legally the employer.
Integrated food security project in Dankassari and Kieche (Dogondoutchi), Niger This project aims at enabling people to adapt to and mitigate the risks they face, and recover better from shocks, thereby increasing their resilience, in Kieché and Dankassari Communes of Niger.

The food security situation remains very preoccupying, and one of the biggest challenges faced by Niger. Even during a year with abundant harvest, Niger always has a food deficit of 20%. This is due to the fact that people are not able to produce enough food due to a number of reasons ranging from poor production methods, lack of suitable seeds and harsh climatic conditions such as droughts and floods. These recurrent natural hazards have negative impacts on food security and the livelihoods of the people.   

It must be said that food production in Niger is dependent on rainfall which in many ways does not always work in favour of families. Kieché and Dankassari Communes targeted by this project are not spared by this situation. The needs’ assessment carried out in the two Communes in July 2013 shows high levels of poverty and vulnerability among the inhabitants. As in many cases, women and children are the most vulnerable. 

The Project is built around 3 axes: Support to food security through increased food production (i), Protection of means of livelihood in a durable manner through support to IGAs (ii) and Disaster risk management through training, risk assessment and the identification of sustainable mitigation and adaptation methods.
Supporting  CADEV Niger to purchase  generator for Saint Augustin Health Center ,  Niamey, Niger Located in the Sahel Region of Sub Saharan Africa, Niger is amongst the poorest countries of the world . Amid its preoccupying internal situation (food insecurity crisis, high prevalence of acute malnutrition, rising demographics, poor social services  including health and education).
The health system is facing many challenges such as:-	Poor accessibility to health care service  and poor infrastructure and materials
-	Insufficient and inadequate referral system for cases with complications from primary health care service (CSI) to the higher level in health system pyramid
-	Insufficient qualified Health workers in health facilities, . 
-	Frequent disruption (shortage) in stock of essential drugs, medical consumables and supplements that affect the continuity of care services in the health centres, leading to dropouts.
The health system in Niger is guided by  a Health policy known as  Health Development Plan which received  partners supports .   CADEV Niger has been supporting the Government through the creation of health centres  and supporting existing one to deliver quality care to the population. Saint Auguistin Health centre located in Niamey  and serving a population of   15 535 of 6 quarters is among them.  CADEV  Niger requested  CAFOD support  in order  to purchase a generator  for Saint Auguistin Health centre to address untimely electricity cut off which is very frequent. This causes a serious  barrier to the quality  and limitation to care  and comfort of both patients and health centres staffs. It represents a risk for the maintenance of cold chain  which is important for sotage of vaccine and drugs.   The project  will  be provide an impact in providing the accessibility to quality health care service to the population.
Capacity building project on security management for CADEV staff. Sheltering an immense and dangerous desert area conducive to all kinds of trafficking (drugs, arms, illegal migrants, goods of all kinds), Niger faces permanent threats from several terrorist organisations established around its borders (Boko Haram, Aqmi, MUJWA, Mokhtar Belmokhtar's group, etc.).
These non-state armed groups operating in the sub-region are currently attacking not only the military, but also the civilian population.
The humanitarian crisis that has been affecting the country for several years is worsening due to the security crisis which is exacerbated by the political instability of neighbouring countries.

The context in Niger is becoming increasingly worrying with growing insecurity in almost all regions. The insecurity situation inside the country and in neighbouring countries is leading to an influx of thousands of refugees, returnees, migrants and internally displaced persons (IDPs) who need access to basic social services to survive.

 This situation poses a great challenge for humanitarians who are targeted by terrorists in some areas and makes access to some areas of operation difficult or impossible. In this context of generalised insecurity in the sub-region in general and in Niger in particular, CADEV Niger's agents implement projects and programmes to alleviate the suffering of populations affected by natural and/or man-made hazards. It is therefore urgent to equip these actors, who are the field agents, with skills that will enable them to manage these security situations. 

This project, co-funded by Caritas sister agencies, will provide a training opportunity on security management for 80 people (including 40 diocesan staff, 10 national staff and 30 volunteers) from CADEV Niger.
Support to small-scale irrigation for increased food production and income generation in Niger This project is based on the needs expressed by the local community, the local administration and the recommendations made by the evaluation of the 2011 EA Rehabilitation project. The project will be a response to food insecurity in Baban Tapki area (Maradi Diocese) as it aims at increasing food production, family income and will build on the already existing CADEV-Maradi’s experience in the area.
 
The project targets 150 families (1050 persons of which 150 men, 150 women, 398 girls and 352 boys) living in 3 villages in Baban Tapki namely Baban Tapki, Garin Sarki Foulani and Dan Chamoua victims of 2010 floods who received support from a previous CI funded EA project. Each beneficiary must have access to cultivable land and be willing to engage in offseason farming.

The project will build 50 wells of 1.4 metres of diameter and whose depth will vary from 7 to 8 metres. The wells will be made of cement rings at 150kg/m3 plus iron bars (6&8mm). The cement rings will be of 1 m of height and will contain small holes to let water in from the sides. Besides building wells, the project will provide water pumps to farmers to help irrigate their farms using water from the wells. A seeds bank (store) to be managed by community members will be built and supplied with essential seeds. It is expected that farmers and the store management committee will continue to run the store for as long as possible to ensure there is no shortage of seeds at one time. Project’s activities will also aim at protecting the environment through the planting of hedges and other best environmental practices. CADEV Niger will work closely with government decentralised services namely agriculture, environmental and hydraulic.  

The project will be implemented by CADEV Maradi together with his local network solidarity and development committees (CDS) spread through the diocese. CAFOD Niger Office will play supervisory and support role to ensure that the objectives of the project are being met and essential learning is documented and shared within the wider CAFOD.

A concept note for this project was submitted in October 2012 for IPDF funding and was later approved by the committee.
Working In Niger for Disaster Immunity (WINDI) Niger, located in the Sahel in West Africa, is primarily dependent on rain-fed agriculture production for the nutritional needs of its population. However, because of cyclical droughts and dependence on traditional cultivation methods much of the population remains prone to food insecurity. This year irregular rains and flooding have destroyed all or most of the harvest in some regions exposing millions of people to severe food insecurity. A household vulnerability assessment conducted by the Early Warning System (SAP) in December 2013 found that 418,724 people are highly to extremely food insecure and that an additional 3,778,890 people are moderately food insecure.  Analysis of data indicates that the number of food insecure people in 2013 could exceed that of the 2010 crisis.
 
 CRS/Niger and the rest of the Caritas Forum in Niger are working in consultation to build a strong strategy to support populations in the short term and build resilience in the mid-term through various funding opportunities. The departments that will be targeted are classified as extremely vulnerable departments by the government. For this intervention, CRS has selected thirteen villages in the Ouallam department because of the high degree of vulnerability and the absence of other organizations serving the needs of the population.
 
CRS estimates that project interventions will cut this need in 2014. To avoid a continuation in the annual cycle of debt as the ‘lean season’ begins, and to improve communal assets, households will need access to alternative income via Cash-For-Work in March through June 2014. The overall goal of this project is to improve the capacity of communities to address and respond to the poor harvest in 2013 and to strengthen resilience to future shocks
Women economic empowerment in peri-urban regions of Niger In Niger, a developing country, women represent more than 52% of the population, the population growth rate is 3.1%, which makes an average of 7 children per woman; while economic growth is 2.5%. 
The difficult economic situation of the country means that most women find themselves without income. Socially enforced biases limit the ability of millions of Nigerien women to get the acceptable level of educational or vocational training that will improve their employability or income generation. 
Despite the efforts made in recent years, girls from poor families are the hardest hit, leading to a ‘feminization of poverty’ in Nigerien society. 
This phenomenon is on the rise in urban and peri-urban contexts where social safety nets are broken or altered. The community of Zermagandey near Niamey, is made of a population of about 65,000 inhabitants of which 32,662 are women, from Zerma, Haoussa, Peul, Gourmantché and a large community of foreign refugees and immigrants. 
More than 60% of these women are under 25 years of age; more than 80% of them have dropped out of schools. Due to economic and lack of livelihoods, these women and girls are at increased risk of exploitation and abuse, including sexual exploitation and Sexually Transmitted diseases. (http://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/fr/report/42741/niger-la-crise-alimentaire-pousse-les-jeunes-filles-à-se-prostituer ). The condition of women in peri-urban communities is aggravated by limited availability of land for agricultural activities (due to rapid urbanization).
This project aims to support 80 women looking for a way out of this poverty/abuse cycle, by providing vocational training in dressmaking / tailoring and equipping them with sewing machines and sewing supplies to commence an income generating activity.
The project will also provide psycho-social support to the women to help them regain their dignity and self-confidence.
Malnutrition prevention support among children and women in 11 Health Centres in Tera District Global acute malnutrition remains rampant in Niger especially during the lean period when the number of the affected children, pregnant and lactating mother rise. In 2015 the rate of global acute malnutrition was o 15% which is equivalent to WHO’s emergency threshold. The Tillabéry region (where Tera Health District is situated) is not an exception with 13.1% of GAM and 2.5% of SAM in 2015. According to UNOCHA the number of children threatened by malnutrition is 1.2 million children and this number is likely to rise as the food security situation is likely to worsen. The government of Niger talks of the malnutrition situation in its 2016 National Response plan. During his recent visit in Niger a couple of weeks ago, Mr O’ Brien (the USG for humanitarian Affairs) raised concern for the high number of children affected by malnutrition in Niger. The nutrition status of children in Niger is closely linked to the level of food access and availability in the country. For those living in rural areas such as those targeted by this project this is usually is challenge especially when the harvest is not sufficient enough to cover the needs of the families. Also coupled to the lack of food is poor hygiene and poor feeding practices. This is the reason why CADEV has submitted this project to CAFOD to help reduce the rate of malnutrition in the health areas of Diagorou, Taka, Bouppo, Bangare, Gabitane, Tillim, Tegueye, Wanzerbe, Yatakala, Bellekoira, Wezabangou, all in Téra Health District. This will be done through the awareness raising sessions, promoting best practices in infant and child feeding, culinary demonstrations, and early detection of malnutrition through screening. CADEV will also train community relay people in communication’s technics, will provide cereals, beans and vegetable cooking oil. In all CADEV will reach out to 6,800 children, 927 pregnant and lactating mothers, 13 health workers and 180 community relay people. 
CAFOD has been providing support to fight malnutrition and save the lives of many children and women. CADEV has a long standing experience and has been regularly asked by the health and nutrition services to provide support. In view of the prevailing malnutrition situation we recommend this project for approval because it aims to reduce the rates of GAM and preserve lives in the selected areas.
