Emergency food security and livelihoods support to 4067 most vulnerable Agro pastoralist households in Cueibet in Lakes State. SAADO’s proposed project intervention aims to increase food availability and access by providing emergency livelihood support kits and adaptive training to most vulnerable IDPs, subsistence farmers and fisher-folk households to increase fish and vegetable production, mainly for consumption at the household level and sale of surplus at local markets. The proposed project targets 4067 HHs of Cueibet County with emergency fishing and vegetable kits. 
The location was chosen in accordance to the IPC May 2019 Cueibet County has 68,000 (Phase 3) amp49,000 (Phase 4) emergency level food insecurity and 10,000 individuals in catastrophe level phase 5.
The project will target 2,000 HHs from the payams near Lake Akau (Amokpiny, Jiir, Malek and Matangai Payams) who will be supported with fishing kits which avails immediate benefits by providing white meat for the HHs(fish) as well as providing an alternative source of income through the sale of surplus fish. This income will be used to supplement the HHs food requirements as well as address urgent HHs needs. To ensure maximum realization of benefits as well as ensure sustainability, HHs will be trained on improved fish production practices such as catch hygiene, fish postharvest and preservation as well as utilization and nutrition training. A further 4,067 HHs near river Waryor and Thokadheng water bodies/points (duony,malou pec and citcok payams) will be supported with vegetable kits to address their nutritional requirement in the short-term (early 3-weeks). Income from the sale of surplus produce will be used to purchase alternative food requirements such as Dura (sorghum) as well as supplement the HH dietary needs. Farmers will receive basic training on improved agronomic practices with regards to micro-irrigation of small-scale commercial vegetable production. All 4,067 HHs will be supported with vegetable kits.
The emergency livelihood kits will be obtained from the FSLC-recommended/FAO pipeline to communities affected by the ongoing crisis in Lakes states. SAADO will put in place a mechanism for effective and participatory community vulnerability mapping and use a comprehensive beneficiary selection criteria developed and discussed and agreed upon with the communities to include Men, Women, Boys and Girls. During community consultations at various levels, all men, women boys and girls will be consulted to fully understand and appreciate the impact of the current crisis on men, women and children that would further inform our proposed response. “Do no harm” and AAP principles will be applied throughout the duration of the project, so that any possible negative implications of the project at community level are addressed before they occur through integrating a strong Community Communication and Engagement (CCE) feedback mechanisms. The project will build upon and complement SAADO’s long experience in implementing livelihoods training projects in Lakes state. It will also complement the life Saving and livelihood protection activities carried out by other FSL partners in the counties such as AVSI, ACROSS, NPA, VSF-G amp CDOR. The proposed activities are time-critical, necessary and sufficient to achieve the stated outputs for these interventions based on the relevance of each activity in saving lives and protecting livelihoods of the communities. The indicators selected are SMART and SAADO has in place a strong monitoring and evaluation system/mechanisms to measure these indicators and to ensure the intended results are achieved. Additionally, the output targets are reasonably achievable considering our existing implementation capacity and experience in food security and livelihood programs.
