Emergency WASH Response in Baqim, Saada - Parameter 2 Building on ADRA's current presence in the targeted area through its health, nutrition and WASH programs, this project will complement ADRA's ongoing efforts to provide comprehensive and targeted assistance to the vulnerable communities. This will allow ADRA Yemen to contribute to parameter 2 of the YHF first standard allocation 2020: Activities covering gaps for people in acute needs (severity 4 and above) in the ongoing emergency response.

The project will benefit over 2,800 conflict-affected households in Baqim district, Saada governorate. Taking into consideration WASH cluster objectives and core response elements, the project is expected to reduce the vulnerability of the conflict-affected and displaced population through enhanced water supply systems as well as improved hygiene and sanitation practices and facilities. The project's main activities will include rehabilitation and expansion of existing water supply and distribution systems, installation of water points, construction of latrines on the household level, capacity building and enhancing the representation of WASH community committees, household and community level hygiene promotion. The rehabilitation of the water sources and system will be done through contractors and the rehabilitation work will be closely coordinated with the WASH sub-cluster of Saada hub and the line ministry and concerned authorities. The water user committees will be formed in the areas where the water sources will be rehabilitated and water points will be installed for community sensitizations and water sources management after the end of the project. In areas with an increased number of IDPs and marginalized groups, households will also be provided with hygiene awareness and hygiene kits. Hygiene kits and awareness beneficiaries will be selected based on the IFRR WASH cluster criteria. In addition, households with the same criteria and have no access to latrines will be supported to have access to functional latrines on household level.

Provision of critical child protection services for vulnerable children living in the conflicted affected districts of Maqbanah and Makha, Taiz Governorate (Parameter 1) This project will support 6,592 conflict-affected people from the host and IDP communities in Maqbanah and Makha, Taiz Governorate, by strengthening community-based protection mechanisms that prevent, mitigate, and respond to protection issues and providing specialized assistance to children and adults with specific protection needs. War Child UK will establish three community centers each of which will serve as a hub to the local community for the provision of protection services and reach out to IDPs through mobile teams (social workers)

The project will address the immediate protection needs of highly vulnerable people through identifying protection risks at the community-level and referring people to the appropriate service, including women, children, elders, and people living with disabilities. War Child UK will ensure that case management and referral mechanisms are in place, including child protection services. Legal assistance will be provided through civil documentation issuance and the importance of civil documentation awareness. The community center activities will include a protection cash assistance component for persons (girls, boys, women, and men) facing urgent protection risks.

To address mental health needs and to ensure that psychosocial support is provided for targeted communities, child-friendly spaces will be established and managed by hired trained facilitators. War Child will be providing PSS for adults through its community centers and promote positive parenting skills.

Furthermore, Community Based Child Protection Committees (CBCPs) will be established and strengthened (representing age, gender, and diverse groups of displaced and conflict-affected communities), to address and mitigate protection concerns, promote social cohesion and enhance community self-protection mechanisms. 

Mine Risk Education awareness sessions and IEC materials will be provided to children and their caregivers by the established committees at the field level after training them by the Yemen Executive Mine Action Center (YEMAC) staff.
Emergency Integrated health, nutrition and protection service provision for conflict affected host and IDP population in hard to reach districts of Hajjah Governorates (Priority 2) Save the Children (SC) proposes to deliver an integrated action to reduce severe hunger and malnutrition among highly vulnerable populations consisting of life-saving, community-based and integrated Health, Nutrition and CP interventions in 3 districts in Hajjah Governorate targeting 264,712 direct beneficiaries (187,707 Host: 35,631 Men, 49,204 Women, 51,436 Boys, 51,436 Girls) (77,005 IDP: 18,292 Men, 31,445 Women, 13,528 Boys, 13,740 Girls) (10,078 Persons with Disabilities: 1,814 Men, 4,032 Women, 2,103 Boys, 2,129 Girls). Women, men, girls, and boys will have improved access to quality life-saving primary healthcare, nutrition and CP services.

Save the Children aims to provide lifesaving health and nutrition interventions for conflict affected communities in 3 districts (Abs, Aslem and Mustaba). The integrated one-year project will be implemented to enhance access and utilization of priority first line health and nutrition services identified by both Health and Nutrition clusters in line with the cluster objective and the allocation strategy. The overall aim of the project will be reduction of morbidity and mortality through enhancing access and coverage of life-saving primary health and nutrition treatment and prevention services in the targeted locations. The project will also respond to and address critical protection needs of affected children (including survivors of grave violations against children’s rights, survivors of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), unaccompanied/separated children UASC, and other forms of violence) through provision of responsive and preventive protection services.
Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance for the Most Vulnerable Households in Yemen (Al-Hodaidah, Lahj and Taizz) Priority 1 and 2 Under this proposed project, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) aims to meet the critical basic needs of vulnerable conflict-affected households (HHs) through multipurpose cash- based assistance (MPCA) in all districts of Lahj governorate as well as Al Mukha, Khoukha, Tuhayta, and Durahimi districts in Taizz and Al-Hodeidah governorates. The provision of MPCA is designed to allow displaced people with extremely limited economic resources to meet their basic needs in a sustainable and dignified manner while reducing their reliance on negative coping mechanisms. DRC will distribute MPCA to 2,505 HHs in total. 

This project will complement the ongoing UNFPA Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM). The RRM will provide in-kind support to newly displaced, while DRC will provide MPCA to ensure a more effective sequencing of aid in the emergency response. DRC will reach 2,505 conflict-affected households with one-off MPCA transfer. The transfer value will reflect the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) recommendation by the national Cash and Markets Working Group. The beneficiaries will be newly displaced IDPs due to conflict and COVID-19 and those affected by natural hazards, and within the RRM database. 

To further strengthen the outcomes of MPCA, the implementation of this project will benefit from the technical support of the Cash Consortium of Yemen (CCY) and its harmonized modalities of intervention. DRC’s mature operational presence in areas hardest hit by the conflict, and specifically in the West Coast, will allow it to rapidly identify eligible HHs in close coordination with the RRM and deliver assistance with the speed required by the current crisis. 

Regarding risks related to liquidity and currency fluctuations, DRC will closely monitor the official and unofficial currency exchange rates, informing stakeholders when longer-term fluctuations will impact the financial management of the project.
Procurement of basic hygiene kits to newly displaced persons within the rapid response mechanism (RRM) Sudden displacement is characterized by increased vulnerability of the affected populations. This is particularly the case in Yemen as the people are already in dire situation given the protracted crisis. Women and children are the most vulnerable. The most critical immediate needs of the displaced persons are usually food and basic personal effects for hygiene and dignity as families are uprooted suddenly from their homes with no time to pick anything. Vulnerability to water-borne diseases and AWD/Cholera is heightened and access to health care, particularly for pregnant women, children and those with chronic illnesses has become critical. 

Women and children represent three quarter of all IDPs in Yemen. The women and children especially, continue to suffer the most in the ongoing crisis. They suffer vulnerabilities arising from different conflict, insecurity, poverty and political factors, whereby displaced families are take an additional toll, leading to magnified risks of hygiene related diseases

Through this project, UNICEF proposes to procure 16,666 basic hygiene kits to be distributed to newly displaced persons.

In 2020, the rapid response mechanism (RRM) structure was revised to continue delivering life-saving packages to displaced population around frontlines, or those affected by harsh weather conditions and floods across the country. The Yemen RRM has evolved since its establishment in 2018, to cope and adapt to the evolving context of Yemen as the sudden displacement increases the vulnerability of the affected population, especially children and women.  During 2020, through RRM first-line response, UNICEF as part of the RRM cluster managed to reach more than 592,000 internally displaced people with life-saving items (including more than 2,000 IDPs affected by floods and more than 9,000 IDPs under the COVID-19 response). RRM minimum package constitutes of 3 kits from UNFPA, WFP and UNICEF sufficient for a family of 7 members for a one-month period.  The first-line response is considered as life-saving measure at frontlines and hard to reach areas that fill the gap or compliment other parts of clusters response. 
UNICEF contribution to the RRM minimum package with the Basic hygiene kits as a cluster lead for WASH. BHKs are locally procured and were designed on feedback from beneficiaries and what is considered to be socially acceptable and gender-sensitive.
