SMC and Shelter Upgrade for IDPs in Hosting Sites in Al Mukha District -priority 1  Governorate of Taizz. GWQ, continuing its SMC for hosting sites in Al-Mukha, is going to implement a 11- month project in two sectors (shelter and NFIs sector and CCCM sector) that aims at improving the living conditions of (680) HHs of the most vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and host communities in Al-Mukha district: 330 HHs of IDPs living in 5 critical hosting sites (AlHali, AlRowais, Al Qatabia, Alniaba, AlShatheli) and 350 HHs of vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and host community living in Al-Mughaini, Al-Orouk, Al-Qahirah, Yakhtal, and Al-Hali, and Al-Madinah areas. In this, the project is a reflection of the 2020 HRP strategic objectives which aim at promoting the dignity of IDPs living in emergency and IDP settlements by upgrading sub-standard sites and providing services and shelter.
This aim will be achieved through supporting 680 vulnerable HHs with assistance for NFI Basic kits and NFI Bedding kits (330 HHs of IDPs in hosting sites and 350 HHs of vulnerable IDPs, returnees, and host community living in Al-Mughaini, Al-Orouk, Al-Qahirah, Yakhtal, and Al-Hali, and Al-Madinah areas) and supporting 330 HHs of IDPs in the targeted hosting sites with Emergency Shelter Kits, which can improve their living conditions. Regarding the procurement of the in-kind shelter/NFI kits, it will be conducted by NRC in coordination with the shelter cluster and GWQ will conduct the distribution process in the targeted locations following the right procedures to ensure targeting the most vulnerable HHs. 
The aim will also be achieved through carrying out SMC package intervention under CCCM cluster in 12 hosting sites (AlHasseb, AlShaheed Hamood, AlSowais , AlQahira, AlShatheli, AlHali, AlNiaba, Old Governmental building, AlZahaira, AlRaowais, AlQatabia, and AlHolaibi). The number of BNFs of the CCCM package intervention is 797 HHs in 12 sites (3721 individuals: 1899 males and 1822 females). The activities of this package include establishing IDPs self-governing structures, conducting functional mobile/static site monitoring teams, distributing IEC materials, establishing functional CRM, conducting mass information campaigns, training volunteers on monitoring population movements and mass information campaigns, conducting sites mapping and multi-cluster needs assessment survey, and registering new arrivals and updating site populations, training and meetings with CCs, organizing monthly coordination meetings with CCs in sites and partners, fixing fire extinguishers at hosting sites, and conducting end line assessment for IDPs sites, which can enhance self-management of the targeted hosting sites and responding to their needs.
Responding to 2020 YHRP, the project activities were planned and would be implemented to promote safety, dignity and rights of affected populations, giving priority to the most vulnerable and affected HHs in the light of the cluster's vulnerability criteria.
Based on the project' context and GWQ's experience, some low and medium risks are expected and procedures to mitigate them are stated as indicated in the Assumptions and risks tab. 
Being a partner of CCCM and Shelter/NFIs clusters and carrying out several projects in Al-Mukha, GWQ has strong access to Al-Mukha as it has established good relationship with all stakeholders, which can help to get smooth access to the targeted areas and to implement the project activities successfully.
