Responding to the critical child protection and GBV needs of emergency affected children in crisis (conflict/drought) affected IDP and Host community areas in Metekel and Assosa Zones in BGRS and Guji Zone in Oromia This project intends to provide comprehensive case management and other psychosocial support services for crisis affected children in Guji Zone of Oromia Region and Metekel and Assosa Zones of BGRS. Liben and Goro Dolla from Guji Zone are the target Woredas selected from Oromia Region. Whereas, PIE targets Dibate, Bulen, Dangur and Mandura from Metekel and Sherkole from Assosa Zones in BGRS respectively. Selection of targeted Woredas was made based on needs on the ground and PIE’s field presence in those areas. 
Through this project PIE aims to reach xxx children with essential child protection services such as psychosocial support, awareness raising and case management including alternative care for UASC and family tracing and reunification services. In line with the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the EHF 2021 second round standard allocation strategy, the project aims to provide psychosocial support and case management services including direct support services such as NFIs for most vulnerable children and dignity kits for adolescent girls as well as referrals for specialize services. Where and when possible, PIE will use cash as a modality to help adolescent girls meet their NFI needs. PIE will draw from its vast experience in using cash as an assistance modality in many project previously. 
PIE will employ close working collaboration with local government partners as a key strategy to materialize project activities and thereby ensuring safe exit and sustainability. Through this project Plan International also aims to engage communities and children as drivers of change and as an essential means to build capacities of these actors. 
This project is designed in consultation with the CP/GBV Sub-clusters at the national level and respective Woreda government offices at local levels. PIE has used the various assessments and field mission reports to inform program design. Additionally, PIE carried out consultations with the respective government partners in each of the locations to identify needs and secure government support.
Emergency SNFI distribution to conflict-affected IDPs in Shire Indasillase, Tahtay Koraro, Selekleka, Maichew, and Asgede woredas in North-Western and Southern Zones of Tigray Region The conflict in Tigray that started in November 2020 has since displaced more than a million people. Many fled to different towns for safety and live in inadequate IDP centers, churches, and schools or are forced to stay out in the open and with relatives/friends. Most IDPs fled without being able to take any household items with them. Hence, in North Western Zone, Asgede, Seleklaka, Tahtay Koraro, and Shire Indasillase town and in  Maichew town of Southern Zone, the proposed intervention will target a total of 4,806 IDP households and host communities. A total of 1,143 from Asgede, 1,143 from Selekleka, and 745 from Maichew woredas will receive in-kind NFI-V1 kits, 889 IDP households in Shire Indasillase town will receive cash for NFI and 887 IDP HHs in Tahtay Koraro woreda will benefit from ESNFI-V2 kits. These interventions will be in line with the standard guideline of the ES/NFI Cluster. To determine the feasibility of both intervention modalities in the two project geographic locations, ZOA will conduct a market assessment to assess market accessibility, functionality, vendors' capacity, and identify appropriate intervention modalities. The ES/NFI in-kind and cash support will improve conditions for sleeping (bedsheet, bed mat, and blanket), food preparation /cooking (kettle, plate, cup, cooking pots, and cooking ladle), and hygiene (washing basin, jerrycan, handwashing and basin set, multi-purpose liquid soap and multipurpose soap bar).

The project will be implemented over a period of six months. 10% of the total beneficiaries will be from the hosting communities whose resources are shared with the IDPs. The involvement of the host communities is to help lessen the burden of hosting IDPs. This minimizes the chance of the intervention creating or increasing tensions between the host communities and the IDPs, thus mainstreaming a conflict-sensitive perspective and implementing a do-no-harm approach. 

ZOA will coordinate closely with the UN, INGOs, and relevant clusters to ensure a coordinated response. ZOA is Core Humanitarian Standards (CHS) certified and will ensure adherence to national and cluster standards during the provision of assistance, including protecting beneficiaries from COVID-19 infection. ZOA applies an age, gender, and diversity lens to all phases of the project cycle and will work closely with protection experts to maximize benefits and mitigate protection risks. Moreover, ZOA's emergency team will focus on expediting the delivery of all the planned activities in an accelerated manner to mitigate hindrances that could materialize from the post-election crisis and the looming rainy season. 

Overall, the project contributes to the overarching ES/NFI cluster objectives, priorities set for Tigray by the national and regional ES/NFI cluster, EHF allocation strategy, and Tigray region humanitarian response plan through saving the lives of target groups.
Emergency Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) support to Crises affected population of Somali region, Ethiopia The proposed intervention will provide live-saving humanitarian assistance focusing on WASH interventions to targeted internally displaced people (IDPs) in Tuliguled woreda (Somali region), cluster-identified priority locations for intervention. The project will mainly focus on lifesaving water and sanitation support for IDPs and conflict affected areas, as well as hygiene promotion and ongoing capacity building for local communities. To ensure a well-coordinated response, IOM will work in close collaboration with National and sub-national WASH cluster focal points, Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Health and protection clusters to ensure overall coordination and inclusive response. 

The following are the key interventions to be carried out under the proposed project:

-	Provide household latrine construction to 150 IDP households providing access to sanitation for 825 individuals
-	Provide upkeep and maintenance (fixing doors, desludging, etc) for the WASH facilities of one (1) institutions affected by the IDP crisis targeting a further 500 individuals
-	Distribute 750 hygiene kits  
-	Rehabilitate one (1) waterpoints, providing access to safe drinking water to 4500 individuals.

IOM will work with a local implementing partner, likely EMCO, for the distribution of hygiene kits. 

In view of the continuing risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk mitigation and prevention measures will be mainstreamed across all WASH interventions, including through implementing social distancing in activity implementation, or integration of COVID-19 awareness raising into activities and trainings.
Life Saving emergency WASH sectorial Response for IDPs and host Communities living in Abyi Adi town of central zone and Samre town of South Eastern zone, Tigray Region According to Ethiopia Humanitarian Needs Overview (2021), ongoing conflict, desert locust invasion, recurrent climatic shocks such as floods and droughts, and socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 are the key drivers of humanitarian needs in Ethiopia. Amidst the political transition, armed conflict and community violence remains a critical concern across Ethiopia, from Benishangul Gumuz, to Oromia, to Tigray. Heightened competition over resources due to pressures from climatic shocks, COVID-19 containment measures, and desert locust infestation in certain areas, create further inter-communal tension, violence, and displacement. Of an estimated 2.7 million people currently internally displaced in Ethiopia, 1 million of which occurred in 2020, approximately 68 per cent were displaced by conflict, underlining the rapidly evolving protection crisis in Ethiopia. According to UNOCHA - Tigray region humanitarian update situation report (7 may 2021), the security situation in Tigray remains largely unchanged, unpredictable and volatile. Active hostilities in Central, North-Western, Eastern, South-Eastern and Southern Tigray continue to be the main access impediment for scaling up operations in rural areas, restricting the freedom of humanitarian movement to reach all people in need. The situation update also identified a WASH gaps as rural areas remain inaccessible where no water scheme maintenance or water trucking delivered and interruption of water trucking operations due to access and security restrictions. As a result, key sanitation and water facilities are lacking in the areas where the IDPs are currently living. Open defecation is common among the IDPs as communal latrines are inadequate and majority of them have no access to improved water source. 

Through this intervention ANE aims to reach a total of  18,500 IDPs and Host communities ( 14,000 IDPs and 4500 Host communities) in Abyi Adi town of central zone and Samre town of South Eastern Zone of Tigray Region. The project has been designed in line with the National WASH cluster response plan document and the proposed woredas are part of the WASH prioritized woreda for EHF 2nd standard allocation. Major activities will include rehabilitation of deep wells and hand pumps, installation of water reservoir at schools, construction of Gender segregated semi-permanent latrine with hand washing facilities and bathing facilities for IDP collection site, provide trainings on hygiene promotion, protection mainstreaming and GBV, installation of hand washing facilities with soap and distribution of WASH NFI, HHWT chemicals and hand sanitizers.
Emergency Nutrition Response for Conflict Affected Communities in 3 Woredas of Afar Region Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women in conflict affected communities in Afar Region, Ethiopia. Target locations include Gulina, Dalol and Erepti Woredas. The proposed project will prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished children of age 6 to 59 months old and malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW).The project will also support prevention of acute malnutrition through promotion of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency (IYCF-E) practices for infants and young children under the age of 24 months and support the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women (PLW). 

In line with the cluster objectives, the proposed project will deliver a full-spectrum emergency nutrition intervention including prevention, treatment, management, community mobilization and case identification, and key capacity building for Regional Health Bureaus and health workers to achieve and sustain impact. Exceptionally vulnerable women and children in drought-affected and conflict- induced communities will be prioritized for services.  The project will be implemented for six months starting from 1st of October 2021 with a total cost of 250,000 USD.
Life-Saving emergency WASH response for conflict induced IDPs and host Communities living in Berahile, Chifra, Euwa and Yalo woredas of Afar Region According to Humanitarian needs overview, Ethiopia, 2021, Ongoing conflict, desert locust invasion, recurrent climatic shocks such as floods and droughts, and socioeconomic impact of COVID-19 are the key drivers of humanitarian needs in Ethiopia. Amidst the political transition, armed conflict and community violence remains a critical concern across Ethiopia, from Benishangul Gumuz, to Oromia, to Tigray. Over the last months, the conflict in Tigray is spreading to neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. According to the 2021 Second Round Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund Reserve Allocation Strategy Paper, in Afar region, the spillover of the Tigray conflict has already displaced around 70,000 people in Zone 4. An additional 500,000 people are at high risk of displacement if the current conflict with Tigray continues. The strategic paper also indicated that he Afar–Somali ethnic dispute has further displaced 35,000 people, with more expected. Despite urgent water trucking needs, minimal humanitarian assistance has been provided to these communities due to resource shortages and access challenges. Conflict-affected IDPs along the Afar Somali regional border need urgent humanitarian support. 

According to, Afar Region Current Situation Overview, presented by regional disaster prevention and food security coordination office (ON JULY 19-2021), the Afar Regional government declared on 16th July 2021 that the TPLF attacked to the Afar Pastoral Communities in Yallo Woreda of Fanti Rasu of Afar Region. Following this, conflict broke out and spread in the all Fanti- Rasu woredas of Yallo, Golina, Awra, Ewa, and Teeru Woredas of the Region.  As of 19 July 2021, more than 69,000 IDPs has been displaced and homeless in the five affected woredas. Moreover, about 500,000 people in the region are at high risk of displacement in three zones (Awsi rasu, Kilbati rasu and Fanti-Rasu) of Afar Region.

Through this intervention the consortium of ANE and COOPI aims to reach a total of 51,260 IDPs and Host communities (46,600 IDPs and 4,660 Host communities) at Ewa, Chifra, Berahle, and Yallo woredas of Afar Region. The project has been designed in line with the National WASH cluster response plan document and the proposed woredas are part of the WASH prioritized woreda for EHF 2021 2nd Reserve allocation. Major activities will include Rehabilitation and Maintenance of existing water supply system (water points, reservoir, installation of water reservoir, construction of gender segregated semi-permanent latrine with hand washing facilities for IDP sites, provide trainings on hygiene promotion, installation of hand washing facilities with soap and distribution of WASH NFI, HHWT chemicals and hand-sanitizers.
Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) for the most vulnerable displaced populations in Somali region According to the latest IOM DTM dataset (Round 27 of August/Sep 2021), there are 871,176 internally displaced people (IDPs) living in 427 IDP sites across Ethiopia’s Somali Region as result of conflict, drought, and seasonal and flash floods. Out of these sites, CCCM activities are presently taking place in only three. In Siti Zone, which hosts 98,832 IDPs living in 41 IDP sites, ACTED is the only actor implementing CCCM activities, and existing funding allows ACTED to implement in just one IDP site (Hariso), reaching 6,733 IDPs. 

IDP communities living in Siti Zone of the Somali Region of Ethiopia continue to face multi-sectoral critical gaps in services, while existing vulnerabilities are exacerbated by the outbreak of COVID-19. IDP site living conditions are characterized by overcrowding, critically affecting the ability to practice key COVID-19 mitigation behavioral strategies, such as social distancing, while simultaneously lacking access to adequate and safe water sources, and basic health services. The living condition of IDPs in Siti Zone is exacerbated by limited humanitarian response. 

In response, ACTED and UNISOD aims to improve the living conditions and protection of18,701 individuals (comprised of  15,715 IDPs and a further  2,986 host community individuals) living Afase and Qaraf IDP sites of Maeyso Woreda, Siti Zone, Hariso IDP site of Gablalu Woreda, Siti Zone and  Afdem Town and Asli IDP Sites of Afdem Woreda, Siti Zone, , Somali Region, by providing coordination of humanitarian response, information sharing and empowerment of site residents through establishment of governance structures, cash for work for site improvements and increased protection for most vulnerable individuals. Due to the mixed nature of IDP sites, which typically include IDPs and host communities, ACTED and UNISOD will formalise the inclusion of the latter as beneficiaries through their representation in Site Maintenance Committees (SMCs) and Camp Management Committees (CMCs). More broadly, host community members will benefit from various other activities under this Action.

Moreover, the proposed Action takes seriously the responsibility of addressing all forms of marginalization, exclusion and inequalities in access while upholding the principles of gender equality and non-discrimination. ACTED and UNISOD will address the susceptibility to marginalization in participatory processes of vulnerable groups by prioritizing inclusive policies in program design and implementation. Women, men, girls and boys, among other groups, often experience crises very differently due to their different roles within the family and society, as well as unequal power dynamics that exist between and among them. Specific attention has therefore been allocated in the design of the present intervention to prevent and reduce those vulnerabilities.
Responding to  Gender-Based Violence (GBV) to Conflict Affected IDP's and Host Communities in Gelalu, Gewane, Haruka, Awash , Amibara woredas of Zone 3 Afar Region and  Adiet, Arbegele, Edaga Arbi and Chila  Woredas of Central Zone , Tigray Region. The planned protection activities will be contributing to the cluster objectives one by ensuring provision of safe, accessible and inclusive protection services for crises affected people, especially vulnerable groups such as women, children and people with disability/ reduced mobility, are identified, referred, and addressed, with functional complaints and feedback mechanisms in place. ASDEPO is identify existing protection risks and protection monitoring, GBV/CP identification and case management, Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), GBV risk mitigation and awareness and Conduct raising awareness activities on PSEA in the targeted woredas . In order to strengthen humanitarian actors on protection mainstreaming a capacity building training will be provided on basic protection principles and the prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) the service mapping will be conducted for the referral service for those who needs multi-sectoral needs. This project will plan to implement in Gelalu, Gewane, Haruka, Awash, Amibara  woreds  of Zone 3 Afar Region and Adiet, Arbegele, Edaga Arbi and Chila  Woredas of Central zone , Tigray Region. These woredas are conflict and flood affected zone and hosted more than 150,000 IDP's. This proposed project will be benefited 34,000 Women, men, girls, obstetric complication, pregnant women and IDP’s with MHPSS needs. ASDEPO has a very good reputation with the local government as well as ASDEPO has strong presence in the region in general and in the targeted zones in particular. Currently, ASDEPO is implementing CP/GBV and psycho social services project in the regions.
Emergency Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) support to Crises affected population of Tigray Region, Ethiopia The proposed intervention will provide live-saving humanitarian assistance focusing on WASH interventions to targeted internally displaced people (IDPs) in Tigray region. The proposed project intervention will target the affected population in cluster-identified priority locations in Tigray region of Ethiopia. The project will mainly focus on lifesaving water and sanitation support for IDPs in conflict affected areas, as well as hygiene promotion and ongoing capacity building for local communities and distribution of lifesaving WASH NFIs. To ensure well-coordinated response, IOM work in collaboration with National and sub-national WASH cluster focal points,Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), Health and protection clusters to ensure overall coordination and inclusive response. 

Under the proposed project IOM will assist 79,000  crises affected people. Primary target locations for the proposed response are Shire Andelselassie, Sheraro, Adwa and Adigrat Woredas of Tigray region.  The following are the key interventions to be carried out under the proposed project:

IOM plans to scale up and continue the provision of lifesaving and life-sustaining WASH services to IDPs in prioritized targeted woredas. The project is in line with the EHF allocation and strategy. Key activities include: 

	Provision of safe drinking water/water trucking, 
	Rehabilitation of existing damaged water supply schemes in targeted areas
	Water quality testing and treatment 
	Provision of Hygiene kits to vulnerable households 
	Construction and rehabilitation of emergency latrines, showers, handwashing facilities in IDPs sites
	Hygiene promotion (including on COVID-19) and capacity building

IOM will work with the Development for Peace Organization (DPO), an Ethiopian National Non-Governmental Organization, for the distribution of WASH NFIs.

In view of the continuing risks of the COVID-19 pandemic, risk mitigation and prevention measures will be mainstreamed across all WASH interventions, including through implementing social distancing in activity implementation, or integration of COVID-19 awareness raising into activities and trainings.
Targeted Supplementary Feeding Following three consecutive poor rainy seasons, Ethiopia and the wider Horn of Africa is experiencing one of the most severe droughts in recent history. Drought conditions are predominantly affecting the Somali and Oromia regions, where the crisis is already having a devastating impact on the lives and livelihood of pastoralist and agropastoralist communities. The impacts include significant harvest losses, depressed household purchasing power, deteriorating livestock body conditions, and widespread water and food shortages. 

Urgent humanitarian responses are needed including the provision of food and nutrition supplies for vulnerable populations. Crisis food security outcomes (IPC Phase 3) are expected to be widespread, with the worst-drought affected areas likely to face Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes starting in February 2022. The nutritional status of drought-affected communities is deteriorating due to harvest losses, low milk availability and depressed income from livestock.  In Somali Region, nutritional screening conducted by the Regional Health Bureau in December 2021 revealed a global acute malnutrition (GAM) rate of 17 percent, above the crisis threshold of 15 percent. Over 17 percent of children under 5 and 32 percent of PLW were diagnosed as moderately malnourished.

The conflict-induced displacements in Meisso, Erer, Afdem and Bike woredas of Somali region is an additional factor that resulted in the losses of human lives, livestock and other assets. Over 9,000 households were displaced at the time of the multi-agency assessment conducted towards the end of April’2021. In these woredas, access to basic services were already inadequate before the displacement and the IDP influx further aggravated the situation limiting the resource availability and accesses to the services for the host community.  To avoid further deterioration provision of nutritional support to treat and prevent is critically important.  WFP will have a pipeline break from February '2022 onwards and the funding from EHF will help to fill the gaps temporarily until funding is available from other donors to continue supporting the Dawa zone woredas.
