Protecting Older People headed households from COVID-19 through community-based health systems strengthening and food security initiatives The project will target 2500 households headed by older people in Bebedo, Nhamboca, Ndeja and Metochira Ressetlemnt Sites communities of Nhamatanda district and Mutua and Chinamcondo communities in Dondo district. The intervention is planned to strengthen linkage and coordination of community level structures with the health systems in the process of mitigating and responding to COVID-19 through: 
1) Strengthening the capacity of older people structures that HelpAge has successfully developed in order to address the information gaps on COVID-19; promote referral linkages of suspected cases (HBCs will be linked with the formal health systems; and address isolation, psychosocial trauma and fear among older people.  
2) To strengthen health system responses by influencing the National COVID-19 response to ensure issues of COVID-19 combined with other conditions are observed in the GoM response plan and fully addressed; 
3) Direct support to older people who are self-isolating through food item distributions and provision of transport at the sufficient time to move to market to get supplies ahead of any quarantine as will be agreed with the government. 
4) Provide HelpAge and partner staff with clear guidance on health awareness through training and capacity development sessions; and provision of PPE safety equipment gear for COVID-19. Through this project, critical protection risks will be addressed, the living conditions of the of vulnerable groups (particularly the unsheltered people) will be improved and risk of disease outbreak will be immediately reduced as soon as distribution of shelter kits will be done. Through training of local partners on humanitarian inclusion standards for older people and people with disabilities, we expect an enhanced local capacity in responding to crises in an inclusive manner. The project will also coordinate with other agencies to facilitate the voluntary return of the individuals with reduced mobility (older people with disabilities), to be concluded within the 45 days

Financial Inclusion and Ageing - Facts, Challenges and Actions Needed The broad problem this project addresses is the exclusion of older people from adequate financial services in middle and lower income countries, particularly in Latin America. The purpose of this project is to develop knowledge on financial services needs in older age and carry that knowledge into a dialogue with actors that are driving financial inclusion, so that they can respond to those needs more effectively. A desk study will be carried out and policy roundtables in partnership with the Centre for Financial Inclusion. The broadest outcome of this project will be a shift in the dialogue on financial inclusion such that financial services needs in older age become more salient considerations in financial inclusion among both policy makers and service providers. A more specific outcome will be the take-up of recommendations from the issue paper by at least some of these same actors

According to OCHA's drought update, June 2022, more than 8 million people are currently in need of food and water assistance . FEWSNET also indicated widespread livestock deaths, and population displacements, which would drive a deterioration of an already dire food security and malnutrition situation in 2023.

Supporting the transition from humanitarian crisis through recovery to sustainable economic development in Warrap State, South Sudan The overall objective is to contribute to the reduction of hunger and building long-term disaster resilience of current highly vulnerable people in Warrap State. Specifically, the aim is to reduce hunger and promote innovative and sustainable food production and livelihoods interventions among the 3,660 highly vulnerable households in Agok and Twic Counties of Warrap State. The project aims to achieve its objective through the promotion of innovative and sustainable food production systems and diversification of livelihood opportunities that will eventually result in the reduction of hunger and malnutrition rates among the most vulnerable population in the targeted areas. This will be achieved through three interrelated components namely (1) cash voucher transfers to vulnerable households to address immediate hunger needs and provide a market for traders (demand), (2) support to traders to strengthen markets in the villages (access of supply) and (3) supporting households to increase farm and household income (increase supply – farm production and demand – increased income). The project will build strong community led structures which will underpin all of the project outcomes and be able to lead in evidence gathering and advocacy to support age appropriate services and inclusion of older people in community structures and NGO programmes. The project will directly target 3,660 households including those headed by older persons (aged 55 and above) and women in Twic and Agok Counties of Warrap State, South Sudan. The selection criteria will include highly vulnerable older persons and women headed households with high number of dependents, women at risk, persons living with disability (PwDs) and other persons with specific needs.

Increased agricultural production through provision of agricultural and fishing inputs and trainings Increased capacity of community led structures and (I) NGOs to advocate for/include the needs of older people and other identified marginalised groups in humanitarian/development programmes
Video animation on homecare for older people: COVID 19 It is now known that older persons (especially the older old) face a much higher risk of dying from COVID-19 than the general population, as do those with underlying health conditions. An early study from China's National Health Commission suggested that about 80 per cent of people who died from the virus in China were over the age of 60, and 75 per cent had pre-existing conditions. We find similar patterns in European countries.
Older people who are dependent on carers and living in care homes are far more at risk as they can only have limited isolation and are in close contact with care providers on a daily basis. Care homes have become hotbeds for COVID-19 infections in many parts of the world. Asia is expecting to follow the similar trends.
There are more than 2,000 care homes, both institutional and informal in South East Asia. In South Asia, India alone has around 40,000 care homes in the country. Another group of older people who need special care is those living in their community and receiving home and social care from community volunteers. Providing information and guidelines to centarl governments or throough websites is important but insufficient. The messages have to reach all echelons of the care suystems. So, simple presentation of the topic and smart dissemination are crucial. HelpAge plans to develop two video animation to provide simple, clear guidelines to care homes and community care in the context of COVID-19.
