Horn of Africa Somalia Joint Response 1.2 million children are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition in Somalia in 2018 (HNO) as both Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) and Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) have surpassed the emergency threshold. With Approximately half of the country’s population under the age of 15, child health is incredibly important. Severely malnourished children are nine times more likely to die of fatal diseases AWD, cholera and measles, and as such, the importance of involving multiple sectors, such as health, is essential to addressing malnutrition, as recommended in the HNO. For this reason, Save the Children is implementing an integrated Health and Nutrition programme, with a focus on screening and treating cases of SAM and providing primary health services via static and mobile sites in order to access hard-to-reach areas. Save the Children aims to 1) Improve access to essential lifesaving health services for crisis affected and host populations aimed at reducing avoidable morbidity and mortality and 2) strengthen life-saving preventive nutrition services for vulnerable population groups focusing on appropriate infant and young child feeding practices in emergency, micronutrient interventions and optimal maternal nutrition. Cross-cutting issues include protection issues, gender related issues, a Complaint Response Mechanism, and community capacity building. Save the Children is implementing an integrated Health and Nutrition Programme in the Sool region, reaching the most vulnerable populations, especially children under the age of five, where the majority of households do not have access to any healthcare facilities.
Desert Locust Joint Response - Somalia A locust invasion in Somalia is threatening livelihoods as crops and vegetation for livestock foraging suffer extensive damage. According to the Somaliland National Disaster Preparedness and Food Reserve Authority (NADFOR) localized damage has been observed in Somaliland, where locusts have occupied a total of 100,000ha of Somaliland’s coastal region including Woqooyi Galbeed. This has affected1,087,264 people, of which 22,853 are in IDPs camps. SC has observed the impact of the locust invasion to be most severe in Hargeisa Maroodijeh with 8,000ha of rangeland and 3,000ha of crop land damaged. In addition, Agabar and Arbasiyo villages in Gabiley districts have also been hard-hit with 1,000ha of damaged land. The Woqooyi Galbeed region was already characterized by significant food security gaps which is exacerbated by the desert locust crisis. According to the FSNAU technical release 153,000 people are food insecure (IPC 3 or 4) including 12,054 in Gabiley district and 139,134 in Hargeisa district. An SC survey showed that pastoralists are skipping meals or selling their remaining livestock for low prices to purchase food. There is also an increasing trend of labor migration at the critical time of Gu seasonal preparation. Only few actors respond to the locust crisis in this area including SOS and World Vision. Response gaps affirmed by the Food Security Cluster (FSC) monthly dashboard show 150,000 people need urgent Multi-Purpose Cash (MPC) support to protect access to food security. These include IDPs and pastoralists who have lost their livestock and have less than 6 goats. In addition to the locust crisis, Somalia is also at risk of an outbreak of the COVID-19 virus. Somalia reported its first confirmed case of COVID-19 on 16th March 2020 and currently has 60 recorded cases including 5 in Somaliland and 2 in Woqooyi Galbeed. Given the rapid pace of the virus and lack of access to testing kits, there are concerns that the number of cases will rise rapidly. SC will support 700 households (HH) including IDPs in (agro)pastoralist communities with MPC transfers of 95 USD for three months to increase their purchasing power to meet their basic needs. In addition, SC will expand Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) and Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) under an ongoing Integrated Community Case Management (ICCM) programme to mitigate the risk of COVID-19.
SOM_Somalia, Somaliland, and Puntland Joint Response (SSP JR) Rapid action is urgently needed to scale up the drought response in these regions in order to safeguard livelihoods and prevent further erosion of household’s nutrition and food security. The proposed activities closely align with the Call for Aid and 2016 HRP by focusing on the provision of immediate emergency life-saving and life-sustaining assistance to the most vulnerable, and restoring and strengthening livelihoods to build resilience to recurrent shocks in El Niño-affected regions. As stated in the Call for Aid, priority is to provide cash to save lives and enable recovery of livelihoods for pastoralists and agro-pastoralists through provision of unconditional cash transfers for vulnerable households, cash for work to rebuild essential infrastructure as well as livestock treatment. This is critical for improving household purchasing power to enable repayment of food credit, access to diversified food from local markets, reducing negative coping mechanisms while improving livestock production through disease control. The proposed locations, objectives and activities for this project are in line with the Call for Aid priorities. Somalia HRP FSL Objective 1: Improve household immediate access to food through provision of unconditional transfer depending on the severity of food insecurity as per IPC classification, vulnerability and seasonality of the livelihoods Result 1.1 300 households have sufficient resources to meet household food needs Result 1.2 Improved water holding capacity of community water catchments for livestock production through Cash for Work for 400 households Somalia HRP FSL Objective 2: Increase productive capacity of rural and urban livelihoods through provision seasonally-appropriate and livelihood-specific inputs Result 2.1 Improved livestock health and productivity The project targets 1,700 drought-affected pastoralists households in Dangoroyo (Nugal region) and Banderbeyla (Bari region) which have been deemed some of the most-affected by the drought.
Somalia Famine Joint Response Somalia is facing its worst drought in decades following four failed rainy seasons and low projections for the September-November rainy season. Over 6.7 million people (41% of the population) are projected to face IPC3 or worse food insecurity. Currently, 82,500 people in Bay region face famine (IPC5) and this is projected to rise to 187,760 people between October- December of whom 167.000 people in Baidoa and Burhakaba districts (IPC, September). SC and local partner GREDO will cover Baidoa and Burhakaba districts with emergency water trucking and cash transfers to meet lifesaving basic needs of most vulnerable households. Community sensitization and hygiene promotion, including distribution of hygiene kits, will be conducted with a focus on prevention of AWD/cholera transmission. Based on SC’s evidenced-based Common Approach, cash transfers will be tied with behavior change communication on infant and young child feeding practices. SC/GREDO target new IDPs due to the drought and host populations in AWD hotspots affected by the drought. The project will focus on HHs facing IPC5 who are at risk of malnutrition due to lack of access to food or because of dietary needs such as HHs with Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs), children under five, child-headed, women-headed, elderly-headed HHs, minority groups and PWDs.
Somalia Drought Joint Response 2022 (DRA) Somalia is facing a critical drought following three consecutive failed rainy seasons. Bay region in South West State (SWS) has the 2nd highest number of people (377,000) affected by severe water shortages with severe to extreme drought conditions. 369,780 people are currently in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) and 83,670 in Emergency (IPC Phase 4).  According to a December 2021 drought assessment in SWS, 91% of communities reduced their water consumption in the previous 4 weeks. The main challenges faced in accessing water are distance to water point, lack of money, unavailability of water, overcrowded water points and water quality.   Needs across districts of Bay region are high with relatively low humanitarian support currently provided. SC and local partner GREDO will cover Berdale and Burhakaba districts with emergency water trucking and cash transfers to meet lifesaving basic needs of most vulnerable households. Community sensitization and hygiene promotion will be conducted with a focus on prevention of AWD/cholera transmission. Water Management Committees will be established and trained to support regular water quality monitoring, hygiene promotion, and emergency water distribution. Based on SC’s evidenced-based Common Approach, cash transfers will be tied with behavior change communication on infant and young child feeding practices. SC will target the most vulnerable agro-pastoralist and displaced households (HHs) facing severe water shortages in hard-to-reach areas, using agreed vulnerability criteria (HHs with Pregnant and Lactating Women, children under five; child-headed, women-headed or elderly-headed HHs; and HHs with members with a disability).

COVID-19: Active Response and Economic Support Program The program is part of a coordinated package of Asian Development Bank (ADB) support to mitigate the severe socioeconomic and potential health impacts caused by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic by supporting the government's Economic Response Plan (ERP). The program will help the government combat the entry and spread of COVID-19 and provide assistance to vulnerable groups, households, and businesses. This program is critical because the Cook Islands faces significant declines in international tourism and government revenue because of COVID-19.
Disaster Resilience Program The program will provide the Government of the Cook Islands rapid access to financing, contingent on a disaster affecting the country. Funds will be used to help meet short-term, post-disaster recovery needs. To establish eligibility to access the contingent financing, the government has undertaken prior policy actions that (i) clarify and implement policy and institutional arrangements for DRM, including the capacity for post-disaster response and recovery; (ii) improve the disaster resilience of physical assets; and (iii) expand disaster risk financing. Post-program monitoring will ensure continued progress toward attaining overall program goals.
Economic Recovery Support Program - Subprogram 1 The objective will be the improved delivery of infrastructure related public services.
COVID-19: Disaster Resilience Program (Phase 2) The program aims to support policy actions in disaster risk management (DRM) and provide a source of contingent financing for timely disaster response and early recovery activities.
Renewable Energy Sector Project The impact of the project will be increased energy security in an environmentally sustainable manner. The outcome will be an increased access to a higher share of electricity generated by renewable energy sources.
Economic Recovery Support Program - Subprogram 2 Subprogram 2 will build on subprogram 1, which facilitated infrastructure investment in a period of constrained revenue, leveraged improvement in priority-setting processes for infrastructure investments, strengthened aspects of public financial management (PFM), and raised the policy profile of vulnerability issues. Subprogram 2 will further support government budget priorities, and will promote public sector reforms and measures that will help protect the vulnerable and safeguard the fiscal position of the Cook Islands to promote higher and more inclusive economic growth.
Supporting Sustainable Economic Recovery Program 1. The Supporting Sustainable Economic Recovery Program will help the Cook Islands restore fiscally sustainable growth led by the private sector, which has been adversely affected by the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The program aims to (i) improve fiscal management and sustainability and (ii) strengthen the enabling environment for the private sector. It aligns with Asian Development Bank (ADB) Strategy 2030 operational priorities of strengthening governance and institutional capacity, accelerating progress in gender equality, and fostering regional cooperation and integration. It is consistent with the country operations business plan for Eleven small Pacific island countries, 2021-2023 and Pacific Approach, 2021-2025.
Improving Internet Connectivity for the South Pacific Project The Government of the Cook Islands has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to support the Cook Islands’ share in the Manatua cable system (MCS), a regional submarine internet cable system that will link Samoa and French Polynesia (non-ADB member), with additional spurs and branching units to link Rarotonga and Aitutaki in the Cook Islands, and Niue (non-ADB member). ADB financing will cover (i) the design and construction of the spurs and branching units for Rarotonga and Aitutaki, and (ii) the Cook Islands’ share in the design and construction of the MCS. The Government of New Zealand, represented by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade, will provide grant cofinancing to the government for the project.

South Sudan: Peace from Below Port has been implemented by PAX and its local partner since 2015 to promote cross border peaceful coexistence and inter / intra community and tribal peaceful coexistence in three communities, Yirol, Amongpiny (Lakes) and Payinjiar (Unity). The project supports conflict resolution and reconciliation in these communities to leverage changes that can influence the conflict dynamics across the region. Since 2017, the P2P project has also a very specific focus on gender promoting the participation of women in local peacebuilding which is intended to contribute to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on the community level. 1) Communities of different ethnicity solve their conflicts in a non-violent way and are less receptive of violence instigating propaganda (hate speech, ethnic violence etc.). 2) Communities enjoy good vertical relationships and improved services (security, humanitarian support and development) from local authorities and service providers Main stakeholder groups in the community, including youth, women, traditional authorities, traders, IDPs and local government Peace from Below is a program which includes two key projects (APP and P2P). The program supports conflict resolution and reconciliation in the target communities to leverage changes that can positively influence the conflict dynamics across the region and which may then influence the national political / military and ethnic conflict that has devastated South Sudan since December 2013. Peace from Below has also had a very specific focus on gender and the role of women in local peacebuilding which is intended to contribute to the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325 on the community level.
