Emergency Nutrition Response in four drought and conflict affected woredas (Kebridehar, Shilabo, Doboweyn and Bodley) of Somali region, and one woreda of SNNPR (Alle special woreda ) in Ethiopia The overall objective of this response is to increase access to quality curative and preventive emergency nutrition services in five targeted woredas (Alle special woreda of SNNPR and Kebridar, Shilabo, Doboweyn and Bodley woreda of Somali region) in Ethiopia. The Nutrition response will support health centers and health posts to improve access to and quality of IMAM services (TSFP, OTP and SC) by providing quality emergency nutrition services to the most affected and marginalized groups, regardless of their status (returnees or IDPs and host communities). The action will increase coverage of nutrition services in all of the 5 targeted woredas and ensure access to lifesaving nutrition services to the most vulnerable individuals/groups benefitting 17,645  (5631M, 12,014F) beneficiaries. SCI will strengthen health centers through capacity building and direct material support. The action will promote optimal IYCF-E practices for U5 children and PLW with a focus on exclusive breastfeeding, appropriate complementary feeding and promotion of micronutrient supplementation. To improve access to quality therapeutic feeding, SCI plans to establish or continue strengthening 43 OTP (25 in Somali woredas and 18 in Alle Special woreda) and 13 SC ( 9 in Somali and 4 Alle Special woreda) treatment centers. The support will include gap filling of SC kits, printing of CMAM recording and reporting tools, supply of essential drugs and other medical supplies, capacity building of health professionals through formal refresher and gap filling trainings, mentoring and providing TA on a weekly basis. To ensure access to communities in hard to reach areas, the project will support mass nutrition screening campaigns monthly with logistics, finance and technical support. To improve access to nutrition service the project also planning to pilotet Family MUAC in one woreda of the Somali region (Bodolay) , the project plans to train 240 (40 mothers under each of 6 health posts). To enhance referral of identified SAM cases, the project plans to support mother’s/care takers with transportation cost to reach health facilities (SCs). Moreover, SCI will support community awareness creation activities on optimal child feeding practices and prevention of COVID-19 through technical, logistics and financial support. SCI will ensure programming considers protection issues and the prevention of gender based violence (GBV) through mainstreaming gender sensitive programming across all activities, including the capacity building of health professionals and supporting community awareness. SC has developed guidance and procedures to minimize the risk of COVID-19 transmission during service provision which will be closely followed in the implementation of this action.
Provision of lifesaving protection assistance for conflict affected IDPs and host communities in Central Zone of Tigray region and Wag Himra, Amhara region. This protection response plan provides a comprehensive response to the critical emergency protection needs of conflict affected internally displaced population (IDPs) and host communities in Central Tigray (Edagarbi and Tankua Abergele woredas) and Wag Himra, Amhara (Sekota and Abergele). The changing, and escalating situation that now has crossed the regional borders had hugely impacted the social structures, impacting families and increasing all forms of gender-based violence particularly to women, and increasing risks to children. This project will focus on the key emergency priorities as identified by the protection cluster and NERP for a protection program that responds to survivors of violence and abuse, and child protection issues. The program activities will provide capacity building on Clinical Management of Rape to health and NGO staff, CMR suppliers to hospitals in both regions, protection risk analysis as a reflection of the evoking situation on the ground, case management for GBV and CP survivors (including highly vulnerable and individuals with disabilities) with emergency support, and alternative care arrangements for UASC,
This will be complemented with protecton and PSEA awareness-raising at community level,  mobile safe spaces and dignity kit distribution. The project will utilise the ability of Action Against Hunger current protection operations to scale up their response, providing flexibility and mobility (such as where needs change or accessibility is problematic).
Emergency Shelter/NFIs intervention in Central and North Western Zones, Tigray Region This project will provide emergency lifesaving activities in Central and North Western zones of Tigray region covering ES/NFIs needs, targeting IDPs and host communities living in Axum, Chila and Edaga Arbi (Central Zone).
The project targeted beneficiaries are 15549 IDPs individuals/2827 HH. Specifically:
In Axum Town, COOPI and DPO will target: 329 HH through a cash for rent intervention and 1000 HH through NFI support
In Chila, 1143 HH will be supported through NFI
In Edaga Arbi, 355 HHs will be supported through NFI.

COOPI and DPO (Development for Peace Organization) have established a partnership to ensure the delivery of the services in the areas of Intervention. 
COOPI collaboration with a National NGO is carried out recognizing the capacity of the partner to operate in the area of intervention and in adherence with the Grand Bargain localization agenda and the National NGOs’ Engagement – Strategy Paper, endorsed by the EHCT in June 2020.
Wellbeing of crisis-affected populations in displacement-affected locations is strengthened through site management support (SMS/CCCM), including site planning  development, coordination  information management, community participation and capacity building. This project aims to increase the wellbeing of crisis-affected populations in displacement-affected locations through Site Management Support (SMS) / Camp Coordination and Camp management (CCCM), including site planning and development, coordination and information management, community participation and capacity building. IOM will target 80 sites prioritized by the CCCM Cluster in Tigray region, East and West Wollega (Oromia), Awi and North Gondar (Amhara region), and Konso (SNNP)R, approximately 60% of which fall within the Northern Ethiopia emergency response. In terms of beneficiaries, IOM’s SMS interventions primarily targets IDPs in sites or site-like settings, but depending on needs and access, also supports IDPs in the host community in some instances.  

IOM’s SMS response will focus on four pillars:
	Site/Area Coordination and Information Management, including meetings organized at displacement locations (i.e. Site amp Woreda/Sub-City levels), and sharing of site and area-level information products.
	Site Planning, Development, Maintenance and Upgrades, such as site feasibility assessments, design of site plans for new, converted or extended sites partitioning of communal living spaces installation of communal facilities, Infection prevention and Control (IPC) measures, etc.
	Community Participation/Self-Governance, including through support of community self-governance structures and running of a Community Feedback Mechanism (CFM)
	Capacity Building of Key stakeholders  (for staff, authorities, partners and other stakeholders) on key CCCM concepts and protection mainstreaming

In view of the continuing risks posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, IOM will mainstream COVID-19 mitigation and prevention measures across its interventions. For example, IOM does not encourage large community events, and instead uses community leadership structures and locally designed and relevant COVID-19 IEC material to train community leaders to cascade COVID-19 awareness messages to the wider community, and IPC measures are included in envisaged sit e upgrades and maintenance.
Integrated Emergency Health, and Protection response for communities affected with Drought and conflict  in Chinakson district, East Hararghe, Ethiopia Ethnic conflict between Jarso/Oromo and Geri/Somali has been ongoing for many years but was historically resource-based with minimal civilian displacements. Since 2015 the nature of the conflict has changed. Destruction of property, mass displacements, and occupation of land have become more common. The security situation along the border of Chinaksen woreda, Oromia Region and Tuliguled Woreda, Somali Region has been volatile since 2017. Large civilian displacements began in 2017 because of the worsening conflicts. A series of peace-building efforts in July 2019, involving traditional leaders and government authorities, resulted in the return of over 25,000 Jarso people to Tuliguled and around 42,000 Geri people to Chinaksen5. Since then, minor clashes have been reported along the regional border, occasionally causing injuries and casualties. The continued movement of people across the regional border, ongoing tensions between ethnic groups, and the increasing severity of clashes is leading to growing concerns for the safety of host communities and IDPs.

Immediate resource mobilization is required to address the urgent needs of the affected populations. Emergency food relief, protection, and emergency health responses are top priorities for the affected populations. Some IDPs are still living in makeshift shelters, exposing them to the elements and increasing their risk for communicable diseases. Damages to critical infrastructure, such as health facilities and water systems, remain critical challenges for IDPs and host communities. Furthermore, there is a need to encourage peacebuilding activities to address the underlying issues causing tensions in the area. Strategies for the eventual return of IDPs also need to be developed to encourage voluntary return.

CARE has proposed multi-sectoral emergency response to address the priority health and protection needs of IDPs and host community. Mothers and children not getting proper health services at the woreda, due to lack of equipment and trained health professionals and some of the health facilities are damaged due the conflict. As the IDPs and returnees are in dire situation, there might be protections and GBV risks around the collection sites. 

With this project, CARE plans to reach 34441beneficiaries in total:
1.	31341 beneficiaries (10157 men, 19797 women, 693 boys and 693 girls) with emergency health response.
2.	3100 beneficiaries (1550 women, 1550 girls) with protection response.
Emergency Shelter response to IDPs and Returnee Households in North Gondar and North Wollo zone of Amhara region, Ethiopia Ethiopia is facing an unprecedented crisis due to multiple hazards including displacement, devastating desert locust invasion, widespread flooding and rising food prices compounded by COVID 19 pandemic. According to the revised HRP in August 2020, humanitarian needs increased to 16 million people, exacerbated by the multi-sector impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, which disproportionately impacts crisis-affected communities. According to the Mid-Year Review of the Humanitarian Response Plan-2020 (MYR-HRP), a recent analysis using WASH, health, and shelter indicators highlighted that IDPs in 56 sites live in overcrowded settings making physical distancing nearly impossible and with inadequate hygiene and shelter facilities as well as health services. Moreover, The ICCG through convergence approach identified priority woredas with multi-sectoral needs prioritized by four or more clusters 

According to the IOM DTM published on 13th August 2021, there are 336 IDP sites where the majority of IDPs have not yet received essential NFIs since displacement.  ESNFI are most requested items for 16 IDP sites located in Amhara. The2nd Reserve Allocation Strategy for the EHF states that In Amhara region, the broadening conflict that started along the Amhara-Tigray regional border is further increasing the number of IDPs. Due to insufficient Belg rains, 600,000 people are likely to be affected this year and 22,000 individuals are expected to be displaced. Over 400,000 IDPs across Amhara have received little or no humanitarian assistance. ES/NFI interventions and emergency food assistance remain key priorities for the IDPs in the region. Pre-positioning of materials and supplies particularly for health, nutrition, shelter, ES/NFIs, protection and WASH is also urgently required

With this application CARE will be carrying out direct implementation of either cash, or ESNFI distributions to 1,380 households in 2 sites, (Adi Arkay, Debark) and either cash or NFI to 1,000 households in Woldiya, depending on the results of the rapid market analysis. The proposed action is in alignment with the strategic objectives of the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP 2020 and is directly linked to the Inter Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) allocation strategic prioritization in the context of the MYR-HRP. 

All three locations are in Amhara Regional State.  Of which, only one woreda, Debark is currently accessible, whilst the two woredas Adi-Arkay and Woldia are currently inaccessible due to security issues. The Adi-Arkay IDPS are currently in Debark woreda and the Woldiya IDPs are in Dessie town. There may be a possibility tha Adi-Arkay and Woldia IDPs becoming a returnee as it is deemed secure enough and situation improve.  

The modality for the Emergency shelter NFI will be in-kind as per the cluster guidance. In both locations, CARE will mainstream Gender and Protection in all response sectors.
Providing Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items Kit for IDPs and Host Communities in Mizyiga Woreda Kamashi Zone Benishngulgumuz Region. The emergency shelter and non-food items Kit (V2 for highlands) for the IDPs and host communities project planned to be implemented in Mizyiga woreda in Kemashi Zone Benishangul Gumuz Regional State. Due to the conflict and high needs of IDPs and host communities, Mizyiga woreda is prioritized by the Shelter/NFI cluster. The life-saving emergency shelter and non-food items kits (ESNFI V2 for highlands and ESNFI V2 disable for highlands) for a total of 1050 HHs for IDPs, host communities and people with disabilities with a total worth of 210,000 USD for the consecutive six months. 80% of the project will be IDPs and 15% for host communities as well as 5% will be pwds’ affected by conflict. Furthermore, the proposed project is in line with the ES/NFI cluster and Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund prioritization as it is the most provision of safe, appropriate and critical lifesaving emergency shelter and non-food items, time-critical and critically enabling, providing immediate support to the most vulnerable population suffering from a shortage of ES/NFI.
Improving Accountability of Affected People This project will enhance the accountability system of emergency response of humanitarian programs in different parts of the country. This project is the first in grant application of EHF despite different organizations having attempted to establish community feedback and response mechanisms. This project will support the establishment and strengthening of regional level Inter Agency-Accountability for Affected People Working groups of Amhara, Afar and Somali. The project aims to build the capacity of regional humanitarian response implementers through training and establishing community feedback and response systems.
The community voices platform was established in August 2021, after being endorsed by the EHCT on 14 August. The dashboard in the platform is revised on a monthly basis. This dashboard presents feedback gathered from communities affected by the crisis across Ethiopia. It is designed to help humanitarian responders make decisions and adapt programming by providing insights into what communities are saying as the response progresses. The Collective Platform for Community Voices is an inter-agency tool to systematically track and respond to community feedback and complaints in nearly real-time manner across Ethiopia. It is led by the Inter-Agency Accountability Working Group – Ethiopia (IAAWG-E), with support from members. The Platform is designed to help humanitarian responders make decisions and adapt programming by providing insights, through analyzing data provided by the organizations, into the current needs and challenges of affected people within the humanitarian response. 
This project is designed in consultation with I-AAPWG-E. The working group decided to develop one consortium-based project. Accordingly, this project will be implemented by a consortium of three organizations: Plan International, Danish Refugee Council and FAYYEE whereby Plan International is the consortium led agency. All the three consortium members were actively participating on the national level I-AAPWG-E and have been working on the establishment and functioning of the regional level working groups. 
Based on the EHF allocation strategy, the project will be implemented nationwide, covering regions such as Amhara, Tigray, Benishangul Gumuz, Oromia, Afar, Gambella, and Somali  in spite of the very limited resource allocated for the sector.
ICT infrastructure in Mekelle and Shire The project will support installation and maintenance of VSAT / ICT infrastructure for the UN hubs in Mekelle and Shire. VSAT services are to be provided as a common service to all humanitarian organizations and agencies that are to operate in Tigray (Shire and Mekelle) and do not have their own means to access internet when regular internet services are disconnected.
Addressing Critical Nutrition life saving needs of Displaced Populations and their host communities in 10 prioritized and targeted woredas of Tigray, Afar and Oromia Regions. This project proposed in response to the increasing humanitarian needs among IDPs and their host community in Tigray, Afar and Oromia regions,  the project aims to decrease morbidity and mortality among conflict and drought affected and displaced girls, boys, women and men in 10  targeted woredas of Tigray, Afar and Oromia Regions. It will do so through immediate and short-term emergency Nutrition assistance. The Child Protection and key WASH component is mainstreamed throughout the various outcomes of the project.

This project primarily focuses on providing life-saving treatment, care and support to affected and displaced girls, boys, women and men in general as well as for 0-59 months age girls and boys suffering from communicable diseases such as Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) or Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM), Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) as well as Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) suffering from MAM. The project will also strengthen further the local health system and build the capacity of health workers (HWs) and health extension workers (HEWs) to respond for already doubled primary health care and nutrition services in all targeted intervention woredas. Besides, the project strongly work with district health offices in maximizing best practices of IYCF including positive parenting and Mental Health and Psychosocial Supports (MHPS) throughout the implementation period of this project. Also, survivals of Gender Base Violence (SGBV) and person with disability specifically targeted to get appropriate and adequate health and care support from this project. In addition protection concerns considered to be addressed through mainstream approach in each of planned activities of the project. 

Furthermore, to prevent disease outbreaks and deter underlying factors for the anticipated increased Acute Malnutrition admission trend, PIE will increases awareness of targeted girls, boys, women and men on key recommended hygiene practices tailored with COVID-19 prevention measures. 

Beneficiary feedback and compliant will be also addressed through establishing and functioning strong feedback mechanism at each kebeles of targeted intervention woredas. Beneficiary participation will be further strengthened through ensuring participation of beneficiaries during project start-up workshop, beneficiary selection, distribution of project input, project review meeting and Focus Group Discussions (FGD).
Emergency Nutrition Service for war and drought-affected communities in six woredas in Tigray and Afar Regions The ongoing war and critical food shortage with limited access to humanitarian aid due to the conflict complemented by the consecutive seasons of below-normal rainfall exacerbated by the strongest climatic event in decades have caused agricultural, livestock, food security, nutrition and health conditions in Tigray  and Afar regions. The diminishing food security situation is contributing to high rates of malnutrition, water shortages, and emergency humanitarian needs in affected parts of the country. The project will support and provide the lifesaving nutrition services for under five children and PLW . The targeted Woredas (IDPs) are highly vulnerable communities with who have limited access to nutrition services. The intervention is required to respond and supports the dire humanitarian crisis increased needs for early identification and treatment of acute malnutrition which is on the edge of wider catastrophic crisis. There is food shortage and hunger in all woredas as grain or food items and NFI are either burned, looted or destroyed people are suffering and dying of hunger. 
International organizations  indicate that in coming months, to mass starvation and a risk of famine in the longer term, to sustained food insecurity and dependence on external assistance. All the 5.7 million people in Tigray are affected by this crisis, of whom the United Nations estimates that 4.5 million are ‘in need’. It is, first and foremost, an urgent humanitarian disaster demanding life-saving assistance. Due to this it needs close support to cascade the CMAM program to the health post level to strengthen the OTP role out strategy, lifesaving intervention, and high number of SAM and MAM admission in the Woredas.
This project will provide immediate lifesaving emergency nutrition assistance for the war-affected, displaced, and vulnerable persons in the targeted woredas. The project will also link with other government routine health services and partner projects to prevent future relapses. Therefore, the project will create synergies for stronger complementary, integration, sustainability and strengthen CMAM services in the existing facility in a way that will safeguard against malnutrition for vulnerable groups in the future, The goal of the project is to contribute reduce mortality and morbidity in related to malnutrition, improve access to life­saving nutrition interventions for the most vulnerable populations of under-five children and PLW, establish/strength multi-sectoral coordination for the management and response of malnutrition, increase the awareness of the community on malnutrition regardless of their nutritional status through IYCF-E, and Health and Nutrition counseling for both IDPs and Host Communities in the proposed six woredas namely Dimma, Tselemti, Ahsiea, Maytsebri, Raya Azebo, and Chilla woredas for six months period with an estimated budget of USD 400,834.15. MCMDO has an ongoing response in the target woredas which will help to integrate and use resources efficiently and ensure ease access to the project sites.
