Provision of assistance and support to survivors of gender-based violence and improve prevention in Beletweyne, Hiraan Region. Based on the analysis of the current flooding situation in Beletweyne, HIWA intends to extend its protection program to contribute towards enhancing protection, increasing safety and promoting the dignity of flood-affected women, men, girls, and boys, in Beletweyne District specifically Beletweyne town. The overarching objective is to contribute towards enhancing protection response capacity, through the deployment of mobile teams composed of Case Workers, Case Manager, and field Monitors, for increased identification and service delivery.  This assistance will be provided where there is currently very limited access to GBV services and to provide tailored and effective assistance where it is needed most, HIWA will:

1. Conduct Rapid Protection Assessments to identify the most urgent needs after new displacements.
2. Provide specialized GBV case management to at-risk women and girls. The guiding strategy will be twofold: combining collection, analysis and dissemination of relevant information through community outreaches and direct support of identified cases through comprehensive case management (including case management for boy and girl survivors of GBV medical and psychosocial support and referral to other specialized care and ensuring appropriate follow up and care where necessary. 
3. Distribution of emergency material support through the distribution of dignity kits to women and girls and distribution of solar lantern and engagement with communities to build community-driven protection mechanisms
4. Psychosocial support through temporary women and girls friendly spaces providing psychosocial support, recreational activities, and non-formal education activities. 
5. In close collaboration with the GBV sub-cluster (WARDI) in Beletweyne review and strengthening of local level referral pathways.
6. Site Safety audits will be conducted to assess the flood impact and examine aspects pertaining to protection and safeguarding, to ensure the safety of men, women, boys, and girls, including people with disabilities.
7. Community outreach and engagement activities to disseminate key information on GBV, including information on the availability of services, and promote positive social norms to improve the safety and well-being of women and girls

The project aims at reaching as many beneficiaries as possible offering them multilayer assistance and different service provided. The core of the proposal is the mobilization of caseworkers who will access different areas and reach newly displaced, as well as receiving community members. The teams will provide different services, from general protection (case management, psycho-social support services, provision of medical (CMR) services for survivors of rape, monitoring of protection issues and documentation of GBV cases management and referral). Target beneficiaries will include: women, men, girls and boys among displaced, including newly displaced people and/or newly accessible people receiving community members. The guiding strategy will be twofold: combining collection, analysis, and dissemination of relevant information and direct support of identified cases through comprehensive case management (including internal/external referral) and distribution of dignity kits.
