Lifesaving Response to Worsening Drought in Hotspot Locations within Puntland According to the 2022 Somalia HRP, 6.4 million Somalis require life-saving WASH assistance. Somalia has been suffering from a devastating drought since late 2020, owing to three consecutive seasons of below-average rainfall. This has been defined by repeated shock cycles and insufficient recovery periods in between, thereby aggravating the humanitarian crisis. As per WASH Cluster updates in January 2022, 66 out of 74 districts in the country face acute water shortages coupled with depleted water sources, leading to increased water prices and a rise in AWD/cholera related diseases. Therefore, the IRC proposes a project that aims to provide life-saving and basic WASH services through the provision of emergency water supply, rehabilitation of 4 strategic water boreholes (3 with hybrid power systems and 1 with rehabilitation (replacing pumps, GI pipes, generator and cables), distribution systems, construction of water collection points, and capacity building of new and existing water community structures. The project will also improve the overall hygiene and sanitation of the target communities through the construction or rehabilitation of 200 latrines, organizing hygiene promotion campaigns and training, and providing essential hygiene items. The 12-month WASH project will target drought-affected communities in the Nugaal region with a focus on Garowe district (targeting 13 IDP sites and 8 host communities) to provide immediate life-saving WASH services to the most vulnerable members of the community, reaching a total of 25,000 people( 5500 men, 5750 women, 6750 boys and 7000 girls). In terms of centrality and mainstreaming of protection, the project aims to reduce the risk of violence against women, children, and vulnerable groups while accessing water and sanitation facilities by providing gender-segregated facilities and establishing the facilities within 500 meters of the settlements. The project will also address gender issues by collecting gender and age-disaggregated data. IRC will analyze this data to identify gaps, provide gender-sensitive interventions, and ensure the participation and empowerment of women. To reduce the risk further, IRC will ensure protection during access and utilization of services. The project beneficiaries will be selected through a community consultative process with the community leaders and local authorities in order to ensure that only those who meet the specified vulnerability criteria, including women and girls, people living with disability, people from minority clans, female-headed households, child-headed households, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence, and households with a high number of dependents (children, elderly, people with disabilities, pregnant and lactating mothers), will be given high priority. IRC will maintain and expand synergies across all the programs by ensuring that this project is implemented alongside the other emergency response programs.

Providing Life Saving Treatment Nutrition Services to Somali Vulnerable Communities most severely affected by the drought The World Food Program is the leading UN agency in Somalia in fighting hunger. In Somalia, WFP together with the Ministry of Health (MoH), nutrition cluster and the partners, supports nutrition service delivery and prevention. WFP collaborates with the MoH and UNICEF to offer an integrated package of nutrition and health, following the revised MoH IMAM guidelines for treating acute malnutrition in Somalia.

The objective is to provide life-saving nutrition treatment services for acutely malnourished children under 5 years and malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women and Girls (PLWGs) in areas most severely affected by the drought. Through this SHF grant, WFP will cover treatment nutrition services through its Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) for 24,385 moderately acute malnourished children 6-59 months and 17,019 malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women and Girls (PLWGs) over a period of 4 months. Due to available funding, WFP will only provide treatment services, and not include preventive nutrition support. WFP will target areas with GAM prevalence above 15% prioritizing areas with the highest malnutrition burden. WFP will work with existing cooperating partners in the targeted areas to allow rapid scale up services. The SHF funding will contribute to ongoing nutrition services and enable to meet the increased caseload and mitigate the impact of the pipeline break in nutrition commodities. WFP will work closely with MoH and UNICEF to coordinate and provide integrated management of acute malnutrition. At the health facilities and mobile outreach, caregivers and PLW will receive social behavior communication messages about Improved Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF) and improved hygiene messages.
Ensure CCCM basic service provision to drought-affected vulnerable IDPs in Kahda settlements of Banadir Region, Somalia. Drought has worsened significantly across Somalia following three consecutive below-average rainy seasons. According to FAO/SWALIM, drought conditions are expected to worsen in December 2021 and the first quarter of 2022, leading to a similar situation witnessed in 2017. In the Banadir region, local authorities and IDP leaders have been reporting severe water shortages in IDP sites in Kahda, the project target. The impact of new arrivals from drought-affected areas in Lower Shabelle, Middle Shabelle, Bay, and Bakool regions and evictions further exacerbate the water stress situation as most IDPs have limited or no access to water and other social services. Overall, local authorities have reported around 18,000 new arrivals have been reported recently in Banadir due to drought. SCC will implement these activities in 16 IDP sites in Kahda district of Banadir region with over 30,000 people as per the latest detailed site assessment (DSA), targeting drought-affected underserved settlements and sites. The project will target 16 IDP settlements with the most drought-affected IDPs in Kahda. The following will be the names of the target umbral:1. Awbaale, 2. Liibaanta qoryoley, 3. Sabaaxal Nur, 4. Baardheere, 5. Dowlaawe, 6. Tawakal, 7. Oomane ,8.Mudan, 9. Cadaawe nugul, 10. Yaaqle, 11. Masha Allah,12.  Saaxil, 13. Maandeeq, 14. Gashaan, 15. Baariyow and 16. Maciin Alle. 
  A total of 27931 IDPs (4655 households) will benefit from this proposed intervention. These numbers might vary due to external factors, which might attract more IDPs, excessive flooding, prolonged drought, or conflict with the landowners or the authorities, which may cause IDPs to flee to other areas. Gender will be mainstreamed into the project through the specific consideration of the different needs of women, men, boys, and girls during the design of activities. The project will organize monthly drought response coordination meetings for drought response and coordination, capacity building on risk Communication, and Community Engagement with IDP members and leaders to accept new arrivals there, the project will also strengthen site monitoring, site verification, and site improvement. Data for the new arrivals will be collected and shared with the clusters to minimize the effects of the drought. The complaint feed mechanism, (CFM) will be prioritized and strengthened throughout the project. To improve the living conditions in the target IDP sites and drought-affected families, the project will include CASH for Work (CFW) on-site maintenance and improvement.
Improved access to food through multipurpose cash assistance for most vulnerable drought affected and displaced households in Qansax Dheere. This project is aimed at improving the ability of 1,020 vulnerable households (approx. 6,120 people) in 2 IDP sites (Maanyow IDPs and Buulo Abag IDPs) and 2 villages (Abbay and Dooday) in Qansax Dheere district to meet their food needs, and to reduce consumption gaps through life-saving unconditional cash transfer (UCT). The proposed IDP sites and villages are part of priority locations list by CCCM Cluster. Each targeted household will be provided with three months of UCT via Mobile Money Transfer following the Cash Working Group's (CWG) and Food Security Cluster’s (FCS) recommended transfer value of 90$/household/month in Qansax Dheere for food assistance.

Concern has decided not to pursue C+ as part of this action, as Concern has been informed by our teams on the ground that the cost of water provision is extremely high in Qansaxdheere district ($100 per 1000ltr tanker), and one load of fodder via a donkey cart is $55. Reports indicate both water and fodder are hard to obtain as suppliers are located in Qansaxdheere town a long distance from our target villages/camps. 
In addition, Concern has learned that our proposed target areas in Qansaxdheere district have received good rains the past few days and it is likely that there will be no need to provide water or fodder for animals in the coming weeks.

Lighting Right: Addressing the complex education and protection needs of children in drought affected parts of Somalia Following a declaration of drought from the Government of Somalia, Alight is concerned about the increasing MULTI-FACETED humanitarian need in the country, that arose as a result of mainly the drought compounded by a perilous security situation and surging COVID-19 cases. As of February 2022, there about 26,203 confirmed cases of Covid-19 . Recent conflicts in Gedo region has been hampering humanitarian service delivery and will drive further need if the security situation deteriorates as more people become displaced. The internally displaced people in Gedo are thus dealing with unique needs that arose at a time when the donor landscape and focus has changed at country and international levels. Children, adolescents, unemployed youth, women and people with disability are most vulnerable and require urgent attention, as the current crisis compounds vulnerabilities arising from chronic conflict and crises in Somalia. 
The proposed intervention aims to ensure children and youth affected by drought conditions have access to safe and protective learning environments in under-served and hard-to access areas in Gedo in region in particular the districts of Elwak, and are also able to access immediate and sustained learning opportunities. Further, the intervention proposes to support learner retention, improve learning environment and ensure safety of learners. The intervention has been designed to meet the needs of vulnerable girls, women, boys and men, IDPs and host communities in these two target districts (Elwak ). 

The project works on a theory of change that: IF there is awareness of the risks faced by vulnerable children (especially girls), adolescents, women and youth their rights to basic services especially education is fulfilled and accountable systems and structures are put in place to address emerging issues then the IDP camps will be a world of joy for victims of conflict and crisis.

Alight is a key player in the Education cluster in Gedo as well as the Federal level clusters for Education and Protection and has built a rapport in addressing the needs of in-school and out of school children and youth for more than a decade. Alight will deliver this program with emphasis on sustainability and localization. While implementing 80% of the program, Alight will build the ability and capacity of existing community structures in a bid to strengthen localization, diversify our approach to humanitarian response and handle protection programs with expertise. The proposed project leverages the specific experience and expertise of Alight and stakeholders to ensure comprehensive coverage of all proposed activities in target areas, with optimal effectiveness, efficiencies, and equitable access for affected populations.
Provision of  emergency lifesaving livelihood support to the most vulnerable drought affected populations (pastoral communities and rural IDPs) in Banderbayla District, Puntland State, Somalia The project is aimed at providing emergency lifesaving livelihoods support to 690 HHs /4140 persons (1722 women, 1590 men, 414 boys and 414 girls) worst drought affected pastoralists and rural IDP communities including the elderly and people living with disability in Biyogadud, Kulule and Duubo villages in Banderbayla, by providing water and fodder for 600 pastoralists each for 30 days where each pastoralist will receive 80 liters of water per day and 50kg of fodder for one month to prevent death of their animals from severe drought conditions. The worst drought affected 300 pastoralists, recipients of water and fodder will be  provided multipurpose cash/Unconditional cash transfers of $105 for one month for their immediate needs and mitigate them from selling fodder distributed to them.

The project comes at a time when the targeted beneficiaries are worst hit by the current devastating drought  conditions, a situation that is worsened by past three seasons of below average rains that has significantly impacted into their lives and livelihoods hence severe food insecurity and loss of a good number of livestock among pastoralists. The project is planned for implementation for a period of 6 months successively.
Emergency supply of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services among drought-affected households in Buudhoole district of Togdheel region The proposed project Emergency supply of safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services among drought-affected households in Buudhoole district of Togdheel region aims to 1) Provide and restore sustainable access to safe and equitable WASH services in targeted locations (including non-IDP men, women, boys, and girls) and 2) Deliver life-saving WASH assistance to reduce acute needs among most vulnerable settlements and communities (including men, women, boys, and girls) in a dignified manner.

The project will be implemented across seven (7) villages in Buudhoole district including Qabri Huluul, Buuhoodle, Sool Joogto, Horufadhi, Dhilaalo, Codanlay and Balli Dandan villages. Its anticipated that the project will reach out to at least 29,166 drought affected and vulnerable people in IDP and host communities.  

Specifically, the project aims at restoring sustainable access to safe and equitable water supply through rehabilitation of four (4) high yielding water points in Qabri Huluul, Codanlay, Balli Dandan and Budhoole villages, installation of one (1) desalination unit on a strategic borehole in Buudhoole town and providing two (2) rounds of cash for water to 1300 households especially in the rural IDP communities with each household receiving $34 per month through mobile money transfer. The project also seeks to promote communal and personal hygiene and sanitation through construction of 120 latrines (15% of which should be user-friendly for PwDs), conducting hygiene and sanitation awareness in all target communities and further distribute 1600 hygiene kits including female-specific hygiene items (sanitary materials). Finally, the project will further build the capacity of WASH committees to be able to sustainably Operate and Maintain the rehabilitated water sources.
