Provision of Life saving support to IDPs affected by Natural calamities and displacements in Daynile District, Benadir Region. ltpgtSevere drought, seasonal flooding, conflict, insecurity, and acute diarrhoea (AWD) have escalated WASH needs in Daynile District. According to the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) issued in January 2024, 6.6 million people in Somalia need WASH intervention, with 1.4 million displaced individuals urgently requiring life-saving WASH assistance. Most of those in need are from vulnerable host communities and internally displaced persons (IDPs), especially in rural areas of Daynile District.ltbrgtRecent flooding has extensively damaged or contaminated hundreds of water points in Daynile, making thousands of latrines unusable. Consequently, a significant portion of the population is forced to use unsafe water sources or resort to open defecation. Immediate WASH intervention is necessary, particularly in Daynile, to prevent further deterioration of the situation.ltbrgtLifeline Gedo (LLG) aims to provide life-saving WASH services to disaster-affected IDPs, including people living with disabilities and minority clans within the District, benefiting a total of 11,700 individuals (2,328 women, 3,343 girls,2,589 men and 3.440 boys).ltbrgtIn alignment with the WASH cluster strategy and the SHF 1 standard allocation strategy, LLG Gedo proposes the following activities:ltbrgtRehabilitate one strategic borehole in the District, the borehole will be solarised, construction of elevated water tank, installation of solar water pump and also construction of 2 water points to be served by the borehole. The organisation will also train Water Committee leadersltspangt(12 men and 9 women) on water management and conflict resolution at the water points, empowering both men and women to effectively manage the developed water facilities.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtConstruct 100 flood-proof emergency latrines in target IDP sites in Daynile District, with gender-segregated facilities and 20% designated for people with disabilities, including lockable doors and handwashing stations.ltbrgtTrain Community Hygiene Promoters (CHPs) to educate the population on proper hygiene practices, including handwashing with soap. Ensure equal opportunities for men and women from target communities and IDPs for effective behaviour change communication.ltbrgtLLG Gedo will coordinate with the WASH cluster to secure 1950 with menstrual hygiene management kits for distribution among the IDP communities in Daynile. Additionally, comprehensive hygiene promotion campaigns focusing on handwashing with soap will reach 11,700 individuals.ltbrgtLLG Gedo will distribute 40 sanitation sets to six IDP sites for routine cleanup campaigns to mitigate the spread of WASH-related diseases, such as increased AWD and cholera cases in Daynile District. A market-based programming approach will be employed, utilising local resources and workforce to improve community livelihoods. Protection measures, particularly against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), will be prioritised throughout the project. Beneficiary selection will be coordinated with other organisations working in the area and local leaders to prevent duplication of target beneficiaries.ltbrgtlt/pgt
