Emergency response for cholera outbreak in Yemen (Sana'a, Amran, Hajjah and Hodeida) Pursuant to the call for scaled response to the spike in reported and confirmed cases of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) and cholera in Yemen, NRC proposes a 6-month life-saving and preventive emergency response to cholera in high priority districts of Bani Al Harith, Hajjah City, Alluheyah, Az Zuhrah, and Amran, located in Amanat Al Asimah, Hajjah, Al Hudaydah and Amran governorates. This is in line with the Yemen Humanitarian Fund’s (YHF) First Reserve Allocation Strategy for 2019, which calls upon Health and WASH partners to prioritize actions to reduce the transmission and prevent loss of lives as a result of cholera. In the proposed action, the Norwegian Refugee Council aims to control and stem the rapid spread of cholera to conflict-affected populations through improved and sustainable access to safe water supply, improved and sustainable access to excreta disposal, improved and sustainable liquid and solid waste management, and hygiene promotion and long term behavioural change in high priority districts of Bani Al Harith, Hajjah City, Alluheyah and Amran

The proposed 6-month project interventions are in line with the WASH cluster first line emergency-scaling up WASH assistance to displaced and conflict-affected people, which prioritizes emergency water sanitation and hygiene services and assistance to highly vulnerable people through activities such as provision of sufficient water quantity, water quality surveillance, provision of water storage at communal level, family latrine construction and support training community hygiene volunteers and conducting emergency cleaning campaigns.

Through this project, approximately 120,868 individuals that are affected or at risk of contacting cholera, in high priority districts of Bani Al Harith, Hajjah City, Alluheyah, Az Zuhrah, and Amran, located in Amanat Al Asimah, Hajjah, Al Hudaydah and Amran governorates, will be assisted. Prioritization and response sequencing as provided in the WASH Cluster Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) will inform the selection of target beneficiaries in a transparent and inclusive manner involving all stakeholders, including the local authorities in the respective locations and community committees. NRC will organize consultative meetings to sensitize the communities on the objectives, activities and project implementation modalities. NRC will coordinate and collaborate with authorities, other organizations, and the existing governorate/ national surveillance system to ensure that there is rapid response to suspected and/ or reported cases of AWD and cholera. Project information will be shared with other actors during cluster meetings and other forums in order to share challenges faced and lessons learned to help inform on future programming.
Multi-Cluster Location Assessment (MCLA) Yemen Survey Operations More than four years since the escalation of conflict in Yemen, the civilian population continues to bear the burden of active conflict and economic decline, while suffering from extreme hunger and the deterioration of infrastructure. In this context of severe needs and scarce resources, the Multi Cluster Locations Assessment (MCLA) was designed and implemented based on the imperative to address information gaps and improve evidence-based humanitarian resource allocation across geographical areas, sectors, and population groups. The MCLA was previously conducted in 2018 and assisted in providing a nationwide evidence base for the 2019 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The MCLA will be completed again to inform operations in 2020. As referenced below in the 'other funding section' , This project is co-funded by UNSAID OFDA, for the benefit of the humanitarian communities. They are covering $1,600,000 USD (43%) of the relevant costs.  IOM is requesting YHF to cover the amount detailed in the budget section.
Shelter and WASH Project in Al Udayn, Mudhikhera and Jiblah Districts, Ibb Governorate This project was designed to intervene in two sectors Shelter and WASH, in which the needs are desperate. To properly plan for the interventions, YDN conducted needs assessment in the two sectors. The WASH needs assessments report clearly revealed the huge need in water, the terrible status of the sanitation system, and the lack of awareness regarding hygiene practices in Bani Hat sub-district, Al Udayn district of Ibb governorate. For Shelter, the needs assessment showed the devastating living conditions of the conflict affected families in the district, and the urge for response.
Accordingly, the interventions were planned in close coordination with the clusters, authorities, and stakeholders. 
In shelter, it’s intended to preserve the dignity, and improve the safety and security of 500 conflict affected households through the provision of rental subsidies in three districts Al Udayn, Mudhaykhira, and Jiblah districts of Ibb governorate for six months. Those targeted families are going to be selected according to the selection criteria of the shelter cluster and with high verification standards under full supervision of the MEAL unit in YDN. This intervention is aligned with the cluster’s objective of providing safe, appropriate shelter and essential household items to displaced and highly vulnerable families. 
In WASH, the project is designed to provide a complementary intervention in Bani Hat sub-district of Al Udayn district. The intervention will involve the rehabilitation of the water network, construction of a septic tank for the sewage network that is pouring directly to the valley, garbage collection and disposal, and awareness sessions on hygiene practices.
The WASH interventions were planned to have a sustainable impact and to improve the WASH status for long duration. Those interventions are among the first and second lines response under the cluster’s objectives of providing emergency water, sanitation and hygiene services and assistance to highly vulnerable people, and restoring and maintaining sustainable water and sanitation systems, particularly in high risk areas.
Short-term “lifeline” funding for critical humanitarian health projects across Yemen with a focus on Abyan, Aden,  Hajjah, Hodeidah, Sa'ada, Sanaa, Taiz and West Coast WHO Yemen humanitarian operation remains heavily underfunded with 84% funding gap. WHO has suspended several life-saving interventions due to the lack of funds, including vaccination campaigns targeting 13 million people and the expansion of the Therapeutic Feeding Centers (TFC) in IPC 4 and 5 districts, leaving 6 000 SAM children with medical complication without access to life-saving treatment. 

While Yemen remains the largest and most complex humanitarian crisis in the world, the available resources at WHO are insufficient to meet the most urgent needs of the health system.
WHO is at risk of losing the gains made in 2018 to preserve the health system, save lives from the risk of new outbreaks and provide safe access to essential health services to the most vulnerable people of Yemen. The present request of funding builds on the humanitarian needs identified in the Stoplight document that WHO has monitored and updated in coordination with OCHA since April 2019.  Within the Stoplight, WHO has identified $108.1 Million urgently needed to avoid the closure of life-saving response (1st amp 2nd line as per YHRP) for the period of April – December 2019. As of August 2019, WHO has identified first line response interventions that are the most critical and in need of urgent support for the next six months. As result of this priority revision, WHO seeks OCHA’s funding support for a total $7.7 Million.

The  present project covers five main interventions: 
1. Procurement and distribution of trauma and emergency surgery kits.
2. Provision of essential commodities to preserve the health system.
3. Maintenance of surgical teams to provide life-saving surgeries.
4. Procurement, distribution and monitoring the provision of life-saving medicines for patients with cancer and other life-threatening conditions and retention of healthcare workers delivery care services to these patients. 
5. Response to the Diphtheria outbreak. 

The interventions will be rolled out country-wide with a focus on Abyan, Aden, Hajjah, Hodeidah, Sa'ada, Taizz and West Coast.
Parameter 2: Improving Food Security for IDPs in Al Buraiqeh and Dar Sa'ad districts of Aden governorate, Tuban district of Lahj goverorate, and Al Mukha district of Taiz governorate This food security support project is a 6 consecutive months of emergency food assistance (cash or vouchers) for 255 vulnerable IDPs households (1785 persons) in Al Buraiqeh and Dar Sa'ad districts of Aden governorate, Tuban district of Lahj governorate and Al Mukha district of Taiz governorate. The proposed intervention aims to ensure that lives are saved and human suffering is reduced through provision of food security assistance to targeted beneficiaries at IDPs collective sites, in order to ensure immediate access to food for the most vulnerable populations. The prioritized objective of this project is to mitigate immediate food security outcomes by providing food assistance to the targeted beneficiaries in priority IDP hosting sites.

The analysis of the needs assessment (HH hunger scale 2019) that was conducted by FMF among IDPs (men, women, boys and girls) in Al Buraiqeh district of Aden governorate, Tuban district of Lahj governorate and Al Mukha district of Taiz governorate stated that the targeted IDPs are at risk of famine due to displacement, low income, large number of family members and poverty which push most of them not to find food to eat most of the time. Therefore, it became so necessary to provide food assistance for IDPs at the targeted areas to protect them from famine.
Cholera Response in Ibb and As Sayyani districts of Ibb Governorate The objective of the Cholera Response in Ibb and As Sayyani districts of Ibb Governorate is to mitigate the impact of the recent cholera outbreak, reduce its transmission and prevent the loss of lives in Ibb and As Sayyani districts of Ibb Governorate. Ibb and As Sayyani districts are among the most affected districts in Ibb governorate. Ibb district reported 8% of the total suspected cases with a total of 1,592 cases and As Sayyani district reported 4% of the total suspected cases with a total of 711 cases. The CFR is 0.28% in As Sayyani district and 0.06% in Ibb district, the CFR of these two districts is 0.13%.

Provision of first-line shelter responses for the most vulnerable IDPs and host communities within Marib and Hadramout governorates The project will cover two districts namely Marib city in Marib and Al-Abr district in Hadramout. Total number of target households is 880 HHs which will be targeted with NFIs kit and cash rental subsidies. The intervention in NFIs kit distribution will be provided to the newly IDPs and those who are already living in under-served IDP settlement. The total number of HHs targeted by NFIs kits will be 300 HHs in Al-Abr district. Each targeted households will receive one NFIs kit including 7 Blankets, 7 mattresses, 1 kitchen set, 2 bucket and 2 sleeping matts. All these items were determined according to Shelter and NFIs cluster standards and based on the urgent need of the targeted groups. 
Cash Rental subsidies will be provided to 580 households under the threat of eviction as they are unable to pay rent in Marib city on a monthly basis for 6 months. The project will provide such services to IDPs and host communities in Al-Zera’ah or Al-Salam area within Marib city and Al-Wadya’ah port (the areas of Sa’ada, Amran and Hajja IDPs and Kha’afez gathering), Al-Abr Al-Jadid and Al- Al-Wadya’ah Intersection within Al-Abr district. More details on the targeted IDPs site is in the attached document under “List of target IDP hosting sites”.

Priority will be given to the female headed households, big-size households, unaccompanied and separated children under 18 years of age, elderly persons of concern over 60 years of age and children under 2 years old. The total duration of the project will be 12 months.
Emergency WASH response to the communities affected by cholera outbreak in Amran and Dhamar governorates in Yemen. The key focus of this project is to mitigate the impact of the recent cholera outbreak, reduce its transmission and prevent the loss of lives due to increased mortality and morbidity related to cholera outbreak. With many lessons learnt from WASH and Health Cluster, as well as our own lessons learned, RI is planning to implement the comprehensive cholera WASH response intervention in areas where we will be implementing cholera health response, in Amran and in Dhamar governorates.

The response will consist of the activities indicated in Yemen Acute Watery Diarrhea and Cholera Outbreak Standard Operating Procedures developed by WASH Clutser. The activities will include assessment and mapping in the beginning of the intervention but also case investigation and ad hoc epidemiological data assessments of the needed support. Based on the assessments, the appropriate WASH support will be provided to the affected communities. Interventions include water quality monitoring, chlorination of water sources assessed as insecure or at risk of contamination, small scale and immediate repair of water points or infrastructural elements of water systems. RI, based on suspected transmission routes identified will  respond also in sanitation, with actions including  construction or rehabilitation of latrines with hand washing facilities at Cholera Treatment Centres (CTCs), health facilities, IDP camps or settlements,, desludging of latrines and sanitation systems, as well as campaigns and waste disposal in highly populated areas and/or high risk areas. RI will also organize a training of RRT teams who will be composed by district WASH teams and Volunteers. WASH Volunteers will will also implement hygiene promotion and community awareness raising activities focusing on cholera prevention and limiting transmission. All the activities will be complimented by distribution of cholera WASH kits and hygiene promotion.

Improving the health status and a reduction of morbidity and mortality among children, PLWs, adults
and elderly by supporting the implementation of Minimum Service Package (MSP) in Abyan and Al Hudaydah Governorates in Yemen This action is aimed at supporting the implementation of the Minimum Service Package to IDPs and host communities in 4 districts: Az Zuhrah, At Tuhayat and Al Khawkhah in Al Hudayadah governorate and Khanfir in Abyan governorate covering an estimated 73,127 persons. This encompasses curative, preventive and promotive health care. Action Contre la Faim will intervene according to the Health Cluster objectives and the priorities under the Humanitarian Response Plan. These districts have been identified for support based on the presence of IDP populations who face an acute need for health services in addition to existing host communities.

Action Contre la Faim’s proposed support includes maintenance of facilities(as required) in both governorates drugs provision, equipment and supplies payment of a salary/incentives to health workers training of health workers and provision of vehicle to transport referred cases to secondary health care.The range of health services proposed in this project includes: OPD consultations, ANC/PNC services to PLWs, establishing patient referral systems in locations where this is not available and strengthening existing referral structures and provision of a minimum WASH package to targeted health facilities (HFs) as needed. A comprehensive capacity-building and supervision package for MoPHP staff will be in place to ensure quality delivery of services at the health facilities and temporary clinics(TC). 

This project will be implemented in 15 health facilities ( including 11 fixed and 4 temporary clinics) as is detailed in the attached beneficiary counting table.
The project will benefit from collaboration with the WHO who will provide medical kits to supported HFs.
Emergency Education  Nutrition Interventions for IDPs Prioritized Collective Sites in Al Ma'afer  Ash Shamayatayn Districts in Taizz Governorate under parameter 2 This is an Emergency Education amp Nutrition Project targeting IDP Collective Sites amp their hosting communities in Al-Ma'afer amp Ash Shamayatayn districts- Taizz. The proposal is based on communication with the Education amp Nutrition Clusters, amp with the relevant authorities at Governorate amp Districts levels. 
In coordination with the Education Cluster (EC) amp Education Offices, a RNA was conducted, and 11 schools were studied for their urgent needs. Lately, the continual coordination exposed the presence of other IPs to avoid duplication, it’s decided that SOUL cover 9 schools- 5 in Al Ma’fer amp 4 in Ash Shammaytayn- in a close coordination with EC Ibb Hub.    
The Education Component will serve a total number of 11,157 school-aged children, consisting of 5,627 girls, and 5,530 boys. The planned Education Parameter-2 Activities include:
	School Rehabilitation, including WASH Facilities
	TLCs Construction
	Support alternative learning opportunities
	Provision of new and repaired school desks
	Provision of white/black boards
	Provision of Teachers kits
	Provision of recreational kits
	Provision of basic learning materials (School Bags)
	Provision of other essential school furniture for the TLCs hosting schools (e.g. white boards, white boards markers and erasers)
	Capacity building for schoolteachers amp staff, MoE Officers amp Parents Councils.


The Nutrition Component based information provided by the Shelter Cluster, will target a total IDPs population of 680 i.e. 206 women, 242 girls amp 232 boys in 6 collective sites,4 in Al Ma’fer amp 2 I Ash Shammayatayn. This component will target SAM amp MAM U5 children as well as PLW with MAM amp offer Referral Services to SAM with Complication cases. The services will be provided through Outreaches. This component is to be under a close monitoring of SOUL’s ongoing Nutrition project funded by WFP that is located in the aforementioned districts in Taizz with regular reporting to this project management by the Nutrition Field Coordinator.

As of 2011, SOUL maintained its presence in Taizz mainly through Nutrition, Health, WASH, amp FSAC interventions in around 15 districts. Thus, this project will utilize SOUL’s experience (e.g. working with CHVs amp MTs) amp its very good connections.
Accessibility risks are inevitable. However, since the projects’ staff will be recruited from the targeted areas amp SOUL can maintain its intense pre-coordination, the project will certainly avoid grave risks.
