Rural Development: Rural Access Project The main project objective is improved access of the rural population in central Butana to markets and social services. Three key results are expected: (i) 144 km of rural roads in central Butana are upgraded and regularly maintained; (ii) communities are trained to manage road tolls and to engage in labour-based maintenance contracts; and (iii) state capacity is strengthened to plan, design, supervise, manage and maintain rural feeder roads using the spot improvement approach (i.e. improving only trouble spots that make the road impassable or dangerous).Two project results relate to institutional outcomes: (i) communities are trained to manage road tolls and to engage in labour-based maintenance contracts; and (ii) state capacity is strengthened to plan, design, supervise, manage and maintain rural feeder roads using the spot improvement approach. These results constitute the pillars of project sustainability.

Integrated solutions for the development of Anbar rural communities The fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) across Iraq has resulted in a protracted humanitarian crisis and devastation of several areas. As of 30 June 2020, around 1.4 million people remain displaced, and 4.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance. Critical infrastructure has been destroyed, leaving areas without access to basic services and full of solid waste. Anbar is one of the governorates which have been severely affected by the protracted crisis in the country. The project aims at the rehabilitation of housing units and restoration of decentralised services in order to improve basic living conditions for returnees in the liberated areas of Al-Anbar governorate in Iraq.

Improving access to WASH services through Anticipatory Actions in Afgooye district, Lower Shabelle region, Somalia. ltpgtThis proposed project is linked to the SHF Reserve allocation 1 for the Pilot Anticipatory Action 2024 for GU floods with the objective of reducing the humanitarian impact of the predicted flooding to communities that are expected to be hardest hit in remote and hard to reach locations of Afgooye. This project will ensure urgent lifesaving assistance for communities affected (2550HHs) by the floods and address the secondary impacts of flood in the affected areas while also ensuring integration of protection elements and sustainable solutions in all flood response activities. This will be done through construction of new latrines and rehabilitation of latrines affected by floods, hygiene promotion, and distribution of hygiene kits. In addition, AYUUB will provide emergency access to clean water through the rehabilitation of existing water systems and give sustainable access to water through the rehabilitation of one strategic water point (shallow well). A further training for Community Hygiene Promoters and the establishment of emergency WASH committees will strengthen the community-led approach to disaster risk reduction while also building resilience and fostering accountability measures.ltbrgtThe proposed interventions will provide comprehensive WASH services in line with the Essential Package of WASH Services (EPWS) and build the capacity of technical WASH workers to ensure clean water service delivery that meet the standards. WASH workers will conduct a preventive outreach campaign aimed at behavior change, including hygiene and sanitation Practices that contribute to the prevention of morbidity and mortality caused by AWD/Cholera and reducing other outbreaks of preventable diseases.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgt

Multipurpose Cash Assistance to alleviate suffering of rural  households affected by droughts, floods and protracted crisis in Baidoa district ltpgtThis is a 6 months’ project aimed at reducing impacts climatic shocks and to mitigate further displacement through life-saving multi-purpose cash transfer in rural Agro-pastoral villages in Baidoa district. The project will target 927 vulnerable crises affected rural Agro-pastoral HHs among women, men, boys, girls, including female headed households.ltbrgtThe deteriorating food security and nutrition situation in the district is driven by recurrent climatic shocks from drought to flooding situation which affected the recovery of the rural population from these shocks. Persistent insecurity, conflict and unresolved political tensions as well as global supply and price shocks are further exacerbating the food security situation. The impacts are widespread, including but not limited to access to safe water, limited livelihood opportunities and lack of employment, escalating local and imported food prices, and crises conflict-induced population displacement, all of which are leading to a decline in the coping capacity of the poor and vulnerable population.ltbrgtWith the likelihood of above average rainfall in the Gu season, and dry spell thereafter with prospects of La Nina later in the year, there is a need to build on post-shock responses and support ongoing responses to mitigate the potential humanitarian impact of the shock and help reduce vulnerability. ltbrgtThe project is informed by the centrality of protection and a gender, age and diversity-sensitive approach which is mainstreamed throughout the project cycle. Moreover, the project reflects the principles of COOPI Protection Policy and is built consistently with COOPI Protection SOPs and Protection Mainstreaming guidelines. The project will be guided by the principles of DO NO HARM, ensuring safety and dignity of target population is upheld and at the same time providing for accountability, participation and empowerment. ltbrgtIn order to save lives and improve their ability to recover from shocks, multipurpose cash assistance will be provided to 927  affected rural households to enable them immediately access food, water, healthcare, and other basic services.
