EC Ethiopia Drought Overall Objective: To foster social and economic stability of communities in the drought affected areas. Specific Objectives: 1. Resilience of poor smallholder farmers is enhanced through increased agricultural production and income. 2 Drought affected communities will have reduced their vulnerability to external shocks while having increased their productive and income generating capacity. 3. Local government and community/traditional institutions capacity is reinforced; service delivery improved, and conditions for sustainable peace and development promoted in the target operational areas improved 4. Social norms and values are contributing positively to women's food security at community and household level.
EC Afghanistan CSO-LA The overall objective of the action focuses on strengthening the participation of whole communities in planning local development, monitoring and improving local services, and increasing the responsiveness of local power-holders. The proposed action will seek to build holistic capacity in responsive local governance, both broadly (related to a range of projects and services), and also narrowly, taking up one critical state-provided service (education) in order to make an intensive investment in improving the governance of a particular sector. The action will also seek to explicitly address the current gap between women and men in local governance and civil society. Furthermore, whilst the proposed action will focus primarily on improving community-based governance processes, it will also contribute to a more vertically integrated system of local governance by building linkages to district-level decision-makers.
ECHO HIP Turkey Protection The proposed action will sustain and improve current ECHO-funded protection assistance in Sanliurfa and Ankara provinces, aligning approaches with ECHO Turkey recently developed Protection Framework. Additionally, activities will be expanded to new districts in Ankara and also to Nizip district in Gaziantep province (contiguous with current target areas in Sanliurfa).the proposed action will consolidate CARE's Information Volunteer and outreach program that provides refugees and host communities with essential information on available services, protection messages and support for referrals, and the action will enable case management and individual protection assistance to be provided to refugees in all target areas of the three provinces which provides tailored support to women, girls, boys and men in order to facilitate access to services and improve the protective environment and wellbeing.
ECHO Uganda refugees CARE Uganda (CUG) is currently providing assistance to South Sudanese refugees in terms of interventions on maternal health, WASH, GBV, livelihoods; and shelter to influxes of South Sudanese refugees in Uganda due to the conflict and food crisis in neighbouring South Sudan.
ECHO Support to IDPs Pakistan This action is to support temporarily displaced persons (TDP Government of Pakistan required term for IDPs) being hosted in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province. These TDPs came from South Waziristan before 2010, and more recently from North Waziristan.
Africa Soil Health Consortium (Phase 2) ASHC is piloting an approach that targets different members of the smallholder farming family with nuanced but consistent messages that address their information needs. So, young people can be targeted through youth media such as comic and social media or curriculum support materials for use in schools. Women can be reached by entertaining radio programs and heads of household by point of sale material in agro-dealers and traditional extension methods. In each country a group of partners will be convened by ASHC. The process starts from a country scoping document setting out needs and opportunities. The next document is an Information Needs Assessment which looks at gaps and perceived short comings in the current stock of development communications and materials offered by the private sector on farm inputs. From this CABI selects an Integrated Soil Fertility Management (ISFM) approach and technology brief sets out all of the stages a farmer needs to follow to apply the improved technology. ASHC is exploring new ways to share the tools and approaches. The ISFM materials library, hosted on the ASHC website, is being developed to house materials for others to adopt and apply to their own contexts. Most are offered under Creative Commons licences. Publications will be produced through the life of the project, sharing lessons learned about how the challenges of creating and disseminating development communication that change behaviour can be met.
African Crop Epidemiology System (ACES) The project will take on 18 months of exploration and planning to establish the tools, technologies and partnerships needed to implement an early warning plant health system in East Africa and gather evidence to show that the proposed modelling and data approaches are feasible.  Working with partners, the project activities are organized into four Work Areas:  Work Area 1: Model design, development, testing, adaptation to country context (led by Cambridge University / CIMMYT); Work Area 2: Data aggregation, management, cleaning and interoperability (led by Scriptoria); Work Area 3: Landscape analysis of national and regional surveillance, early warning and response functions within current plant health systems (coordinated by CABI); Work Area 4: Develop a 5-year roadmap incorporating country implementation plans and regional actions (led by CABI). ACES long-term vision of success is to have: (a) Improved surveillance, early warning and pest response functions of managing plant health through use of epidemiological models; (b) Built the capacity of institutions to utilize and act on information generated by epidemiological models; (c) Enabled data to be shared and analyzed across institutions and national boundaries; (d) Contributed to significantly lessened crop loss of smallholder farmers and thereby contributing to improved food security in Sub-Saharan Africa; (e) Developed an effective and sustainable system that receives support from participating governments, donors and the private sector.

NEXUS (USAID Sahel Regional Program):  Nexus activity strengthens the resilience of public drinking water services, amid the insecurity crisis, in the main urban centers hosting Internally Displaced People (IDPs) in Burkina Faso. By improving the quality of drinking water services, the activity will benefit the total population of 113,967 people in Titao (Nord region) and Kongoussi (Centre-Nord region) municipalities, including 44,031 IDPs. .Since the start of 2019, Burkina Faso has faced a significant increase in humanitarian needs amid worsening insecurity in the Sahel, North, Center-North and East regions. This crisis has generated an exponential increase in the number of internally displaced persons (IDPs) fleeing violence. This has led to significantly more pressure being put on water infrastructure. Prior to the crisis, ensuring universal access to a continuous, sustainable, and affordable drinking water service was already a major challenge for the country with a significant production deficit more than tripled by the influx of displaced people.  Nexus supports the National Office of Water and Sanitation (ONEA) and municipalities in their role as authorities managing public drinking water services in crisis contexts, strengthens the performance of public drinking water utilities in a crisis context, and develops methodologies and disseminates lessons learned in order to facilitate the replication of the approach in other urban centers hosting IDPs. .This pilot activity is intended to scale innovations that will solidify sustained collaboration between USAID humanitarian and development activities in the Sahel, enhance the tool kit to manage the humanitarian-development nexus, and provide Agency-wide learning. It contributes to the Resilience in the Sahel Enhanced (RISE) II initiative. $244,647 of funding contributes to meeting the required wash earmark, and $50,000 of funding contributes meeting the required microenterprise earmark of $4,000,000. .

Market Linkages Initiatives (MLI) The East Africa Market Linkages Initiative Project (MLI) was a two-year, multi-country project that worked alongside partners such as ACTESA (Alliance for Common Trade in Eastern and Southern Africa) to integrate smallholder farmers into more efficient national and regional markets. The projects goal was to promote food staples and improve food security through a pioneering effort to increase marketing and storage efficiency in the staple food commodity markets. CARANA achieved this goal through four key activities: building the capacity of smallholder producers for pre-storage crop conditioning to ensure higher quality crops and reduce post-harvest losses; improving storage facilities close to rural production areas and supporting the integration of farmer surpluses to these facilities; expanding smallholder producers linkages to markets; and developing forums through which implementing partners (governments, NGOs, etc.) shared lessons learned, analyzed impact results, and disseminated findings to inform future program planning.
