CO-505233 B. JUSTIFICATION: Problem Statement and Needs Assessment
The current security context in Diffa region is critical given the incursion of Boko Haram into Niger and the continuous violent attacks in villages around Lac Chad since 2014. These different attacks have meant that large number of women, men, girls and boys have been forced to flee their homes to areas where they felt safer- often moving from one place to another in a matter of months. Just after the attacks in Bosso on the 3rd of June 2016, thenumber of IDPs, returnees and refugees has increased to an official 280,000 people, although many humanitarian actors think this is higher and some have kept crossing the border from Nigeria into Niger. The government of Niger and the multinational forceson the Nigeria side of the border are conducting counter-insurgency operations; and thus clearing populated areas near the border, the river. This has added thus the largest number of displaced in informal settlements, around 45 (though this number changes constantly) are IDPs. All of these displaced women, men, girls and boys live in extreme vulnerability and some have done so for almost 2 years.

Multi-sectoral assessments have been conducted in Diffa, by the government, local authorities, international NGOs as well as Oxfam in August 2016 (1st-5th) and October 2016 (5-17th). These assessments have highlighted a number of critical needs and humanitarian issues that are affecting the region as a whole. Diffa is a region with structural fragility and the current crisis has only increased and exacerbated the burden. This is highlighted below: according to Cadre harmonise 454,000 people are in need of food assistance and according to Fewsnet the region is in IPC phase 3 (crisis) of food insecurity. The critical needs currently are: Food Assistance, livelihoods recovery/protection, access to Water, Hygiene and Sanitation, Shelter, NFIs, Protection. The area sees malnutrition rates above the 15% emergency threshold every lean season, has between 75-85% very poor and poor and is one of the least developed areas in Niger- a countrywhich ranks last in the HDI.

Food assistance coverage in Boudouri settlement is not sufficient, especially not currently during the lean season. For those HHs suddenly displaced by either the government counter-insurgency operations or Boko Haram violence, they flee to an informal site with no and/or hardly any belongings. They are dependent on assistance to cover their food needs and basic needs. Access to food due to lack ofstocks, production and income is a critical issue. Markets in Diffa and on the N1 towards Maine Soroa, are semi-functional and seem to have the capacity to absorb more demand, however Oxfam will deliver in-kind aid based on recent market assessments anddistance to visit local markets for the affected population in Boudouri. It is currently also the rainy season and thus the highest risk period of the year for malaria. Given the underlying vulnerabilities, displacement, lack of food and poor diversity getting malaria has an increased risk of leading to mortality.

health care and protection WB In line with the strategy of the Palestinian MoH and the priorities identified by the Health and Nutrition cluster in Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT), the project aims at enhancing the protection, access to health care and emergency preparedness in 20 vulnerable localities in the West Bank. As stated in the CAP 2012-2013 Health and Nutrition cluster needs analysis, communities that face protection risks are often the same whose access to essential services is more limited. Also, restrictions on the access to essential services - such as health  increase the vulnerability of communities to protection risks; therefore, an integrated response is needed, focusing on the most vulnerable population (women, women with disability) and involving in a synergic way  three main programs run by HWC : Womens'  health - Rehabilitation - Emergency response and preparedness. The outcomes of the project are the following:
- Women (including disabled women) in 8 locations of two governorates (Hebron and Bethlehem) inthe West Bank have increased access to sexual/reproductive and rehabilitation services and related education initiatives
- Communities in 8 locations of two governorateshave increased knowledge about women and disabled rights and access to protection services.
- The health emergency services and thecapacity to manage emergency situations are strengthened in 12 marginalized locations of five governorates of the West Bank.

At the end of the project,  there should be around 1000 refugee HH who have information on accessing services, at least 200 are referred to relevant service providers
OGB Refugee Crisis in Syria Sustainable access to safe water has become problematic in Syria because of a multitude of reasons: first, as a result of the conflict, the water infrastructure has been either completely destroyed or damaged and the relevant Local Water Establishments (LWEs) do not have the required material /spare parts to repair and access to site to provide regular maintenance of the already damaged infrastructure; second, as a result of the sanctions placed on the country, there is a shortage of fuel required to generate electricity and water pumping stations.
For most water systems to function efficiently, pumping stations need a pumping time of at least 20 hours a day in order to fill the tanks and supply sufficient water to the governorates. Many times water systems are unable to provide water in adequate quantities, leading to water shortages, rendering the communities, in particular women and children, to either go out of their homes to search for water which as a consequence can lead to numerous protection issues, or being forced to spend a major chunk of their meagre income or savings on purchasing water.
It is estimated that 80% of water infrastructure in Syria is now in need of rehabilitation and maintenance . Lack of availability of fuel and hence electricity shortages mean that water pumping stations cannot operate at their full potential; the lack of Operation and Maintenance (O<(>&<)>M) material and timely availability of spare parts and contingency materials mean that adequate repair for the water infrastructure also cannot be conducted.
Oxfams WASH interventions in Syria include Homs, Hama, Idleb, Aleppo, Quneitra, Sweida, Daraa, Tartous, Damascus and Rural Damascus. The interventions implemented ranged from water trucking, rehabilitation and development of water sources such as equipping wells, drilling, repairs, and water treatment to support of operations and maintenance, hygiene kits distribution, and awareness campaigns. Oxfam in Syria has accumulated capacity to run the projects backed by regionaland global support teams with extensive experience, expertise and knowledge of the region.
This project is aimed at Pre-Positioning for Essential WASH NFIs for Immediate Life-Saving Response in Syria during the period of 3 months from January to March 2016 with a  total budget of  1.422.000,-.

Long term Organizational Most non-profit associations in Lao require support from outside international financial institute and/or INGOs donors to allow them to operate and implement the activities. But to be accepted by international standard or donors# improving governance andtransparency structure of organization are required, so after the 2013 yearly meeting of GCA all board committee and members agreed to focus on strengthening the mission, vision and overall strategic plan for GCA and to upgrade and build the right competencies of its staff. Having a short-term and long term organizational strategy is needed to CGA work towards a vision and will make the association more interesting for donors and other partners. Thus, GCA as a new local organization has as its first priority, and the objective of this proposal, a general assessment of its present management and governance and creation of a long term orgazational strategy.
Oxfam América Perú We supported the creation and the development of communication and media material (i.e. stories, video, photos#) for a global campaign spike on indigenous and community land rights, to raise #global awareness# on the subject.

This action contributed to the Land Rights Now campaign, which is a worldwide initiative of more than 600 organizations and communities that aim at doubling the area ofland formally recognized as owned or controlled by Indigenous Peoples and local communities. Oxfam plays a major role in shaping and driving the campaign. The Land Rights Now campaign is a bottom-up campaign and is primary objective is to support ongoing nationalcampaigns in the area of Indigenous and community land rights. The secondary objective is to promote global awareness on this issue, so as to enable changes at national level.

In 2016, Oxfam will focus on 4-6 countries to highlight either i) specific cases of land grabbing or injustice around indigenous and community land rights or ii) symbolic cases #including positive stories # that can describe a larger systemic situation, that needs to be addressed. In this context we issued an internal call for expression of interest to submit cases that may support #global# awareness raising. A case submitted byOxfam in Peru has been identified as a suitable case, according to pre-established criteria. This grant supports the development of material for public campaigning in Peru on this case.
Accountability Adaptation Finance-UEEF Introduction of the project: statement of objectives and planned outcomes
Uganda Environment Education Foundation (UEEF) is an indigenous non-governmental Organisation  founded in 1997 and is currently registered with the Uganda NGO board. UEEF works with civil society organisations, schools, farmers, local governments and diverse local community groups. UEEF has worked on various projects that include research, advocacy and livelihood improvement. UEEF provides its services across a large scope of environmental subject matter including: renewable energy, water and sanitation, agriculture and rural development. UEEF is committed to improving livelihoods through provision of quality environmental education and advocacy and promotion of sustainable agriculture and sanitation.

UEEF was tasked by the Climate Action Network Uganda (CAN-U) Executive Committee to implement the capacity building project on adaptationfinance including additional outreach activities such as national dialogue meetings, COP20 finance thematic group, and raising awareness on climate change and adaptation. UEEF will work with other CAN-U member organisations to implement the project.

It has been recognised that whereas there is increased funding towards adaptation generally, there still remains a huge challenge of accountability and transparency at different levels of governance in the country. It is also recognised that civil society can play a big role of oversight over government and other mandated institutions in ensuring that adaptation finance reaches the most vulnerable. However, the CSOs do not have adequate capacity to do a comprehensive undertaking. Therefore, this project will help to build a strong base of civil society institutions that can reinforce accountability and transparency in climate finance in Uganda.

Overall aim of theproject
The project aims to strengthen the capacity of Ugandan civil society organisations to promote accountability and transparency in regard to adaptation finance through targeted trainings.

Specific objectives of this project include:
# To build capacity of CSOs in tracking/monitoring adaptation finance at national and sub national level
# To mainstream gender in climate change adaptation finance
# To influence the Ugandan position on climate finance for the COP20 in Lima Peru to specifically shape the global adaptation finance mechanisms
# To influence national policy makers on transparency and accountability in regard to climate finance

The outcomes of this project arebased on the overall project outcomes that include:
Humanitarian capacity building - CDR Oxfam Novib came to the conclusion that for humanitarian interventions and interventions with regard to food security in Niger, it always depended on the same, nationally recognized partners. Oxfam Novib also wants to strengthen civil society in Niger and not always necessarily through supporting large organizations. Therefore Oxfam Novib initiated a search for new partners to enrich its partner portfolio in Niger accompanied by a capacity building process on disaster risk reduction for these partners.
The process began with an analysis of the potential added value of Oxfam Novib in the most vulnerable areas of Niger. Subsequently a mapping was carried out of NGOs active in food security and with experience on gender in the regions of Tahoua and Maradi.This mapping of local NGOs and its analysis resulted in the selection of three new NGOs: IDELA and ADKOUL in Tahoua and Maradi and CDR in Maradi.
These  three partners have a lot in common with regard to their interventions at community level concentrating on activities to reduce the risk that a future drought might become a disaster through the reclaiming of arable land,
the setting up of seed banks, the storage of animal fodder, the reconstruction of livestock herds, the drilling of wells and the distribution of improved seeds. In 2010, each partner has contributed to the management of that years food crisis   through the distribution of food and animal fodder.
The overall objective of the capacity building program is to improve the capacity to reduce the risk of a potential disaster at community level in three municipal departments of Tahoua (Abalak, Tchintabaraden and Tahoua) and two departments of Maradi (Guidan Roumji and Madarounfa). This program has three dimensions: seed money for the three partners, capacity building and linking and learning with other partners of Oxfam Novib in Niger.
