Provision of unconditional cash transfer for vulnerable IDPs in Jamame District of Jubaland State,  to strengthen planning in readiness and anticipatory action (AA) ahead of the 2024 Gu floods. ltpgtThe November-December El-Nino rains left most communities destroyed by floods in most parts of Somalia, particularly those lying along the riverine and the floods-prone areas like Jamame. Most families were left with great losses ranging from destroyed/lost basic household items including clothes, cooking utensils, animals and beddings etc.ltbrgtJamaame fact sheet and FAO/SWALIM’s January 2024 forecast of above-normal Gu rains in April 2024, most at-risk families in Jamame need to prepare for the impacts and effects of floods by relocating to identified safe grounds while also ensuring that their essential needs are adequately covered. ltbrgtThe AA allocation strategy strives to reduce further shocks due to the almost most certain condition of the coming Gu rains by ensuring that 2550 HHs from the most at-risk communities in Jamame are provided with unconditional cash transfers for one month to relocate and buy some of their most essential needs. AYUUB NGO will enable emergency humanitarian assistance through MPCA to some 2550 households that are most at risk and in the hard-to-reach areas of Jamame district. The project will target 580 households from Singaleer,  700 HH from Warkooy, 420 From Towfiiq, 850 HH  from Farwaamo, . It is worth noting here that Jamame is 100% fully controlled by AS and most IDP have fled to the outskirts of Kismayo where access to aid services is reachable. AYUUB will work closely with the local community elders, religious leaders and camp leaders and also in coordination with other partners implementing programs in the specific locations to avoid overlaps and duplication of services. The strategy for the three-month implementation will be fully community led and community owned. The project is designed to support families in a more comprehensive manner, empowering them through cash injection to be able to provide for themselves and their families in preparation for floods expected due to the coming Gu rains.ltbrgtTo guard against aid diversion, AYUUB will employ on project and off project monitoring teams. The on-project monitoring shall ensure that the project activities are run as planned and in accordance with all humanitarian principles and AYUUB NGO policies. AYUUB has a robust and vibrant ME and compliance departments that will ensure the outcomes of the project are realized to the fullest extent possible. These teams shall among other things conduct household survey interview to see the impact of aid to the livelihoods and to ascertain whether aid is diverted, use documentations like distribution sheets, invoices and payment slips to ascertain amounts distributed per beneficiary and satisfaction levels of beneficiaries among many other things. AYUUB will establish household baseline data using ODK platform as reference for PDM to understand impact of MPCA intervention in the Anticipated Allocation.ltbrgtOn the off-project monitoring, AYUUB NGO has planned PDM monitoring is involved to ascertain the cost benefit of the project outcomes. Post-distribution surveys will also provide information on whether the aid was exchanged for other items or used as intended.ltbrgtAYUUB NGO has a hotline number 2288 for all complaints reporting and will display the reporting channels in all project sites and offices.
