Provision of life-saving WASH response package to vulnerable IDPs and host communities impacted by climatic shocks in Wajid district of the Bakool Region ltpgtAccording to OCHA, Somalia remains susceptible to recurrent climate-related hazards, with the frequency of droughts, flash floods, and riverine floods escalating over the past three decades. These environmental upheavals have disrupted the lives and economic activities of the populace. Climate change, along with factors such as inadequate adaptation measures, an economically fragile populace, substandard infrastructure, weak river defenses, and poor soil quality, further amplify the extent of flood-related devastation experienced by local communities. The floods have prompted the destruction of property, loss of access to basic services, further displacements, and led to an increase in cholera and other water-borne diseases, particularly affecting children, women, the elderly and people with disabilities.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn this project, ARD is planning to provide life-saving WASH services to 12,000 beneficiaries (3000 men, 7000 women, 1000 boys and 1000 girls) for community living in Wajid affected by climatic shocks IDPs and host communities with recognition of people with disabilities and the most vulnerable population through the provision of emergency safe water drinking with water vouchers system for 45 days period for a total of 6,300 people (1050 HHs), Rehabilitation of 4 flood-proof shallow wells. ARD will also construct 20 emergency latrines in Wajid IDPs 4 of it for PLWD. A total of  240 HHs will benefit from access to sanitation, 1075 Households will benefit from hygiene kit distribution and hygiene awareness, Chlorination of 12 Shallow wells and WASH committees will be established in addition to carrying out environmental sanitation services to all project target locations especially IDP camps to improve all preventive measures against the risks of AWD/cholera outbreaks in Wajid district. ARD will also implement Water treatment and monitoring through chlorination of communal water sources targeting 4 shallow wells and Provision of 34 sanitation tools kits for solid waste management activities such as garbage collection and clean campaigns for IDPs living in Wajid district. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe main activities will include: ltbrgtRehabilitation of 4 shallow wells with hand pumpsltbrgtProvision of emergency water supply targeting 6,300 vulnerable IDP beneficiaries   ltbrgtWater treatment and monitoring through chlorination of communal water sources targeting 12 shallow wellsltbrgtConstruction of 20 new emergency latrines with proper hand washing facilities and 4 latrines for people living with disabilities for IDPs living in Wajid district.ltbrgtProvision of 34 sanitation tools kits to support 32 clean up solid waste management activities such as garbage collection and clean campaigns for IDPs living in Wajid district.ltbrgtDistribution of 1075 hygiene kits including standard MHM sets and hygiene promotion campaigns targeting communities and the kits will be procured. ltbrgtlt/pgt

Provision of essential cooperation and information services on safety; security and access to humanitarian aid organizations in Somalia ltpgtltbrgtThe main purpose of the project is to assist NGOs in fulfilling their mandates through the provision of essential security coordination and information services that help them understand the operating environment and reduce the risks facing their staff and operations. INSO has been operating in Somalia since 2015. The underlying principle in INSO’s theory of change is that better information leads to better decisions. IF NGOs working in Somalia assisting conflict and disaster-affected populations have access to INSO safety and security services, THEN they would be able to have enhanced access to the vulnerable population BECAUSE NGOs will have better information on which to base decisions at tactical, operational, and strategic levels while delivering assistance. INSO runs a single project that is co-funded by 6 donors (including SHF) and all donors contribute to realization of the project’s objectives and attainment of deliverables. ltbrgtGiven the protracted security environment and the emerging uncertainties related to the ATMIS drawdown, the Somalia operating context may get even more complex, with varying layers of protracted armed conflict and acute/emerging contestation between multiple actors. NGOs face strong challenges related to access and security, including inadequate capacity to understand the dynamic context, difficulty in accessing and verifying information, lack of information sharing, lack of security coordination and harmonized security practices, poor security awareness of staff, and lack of training opportunities. ltbrgtTo address the needs/gaps mentioned above, INSO’s services comprising a Conflict and Humanitarian Data Centre (CHDC)—a secure cloud-based database containing all security incidents occurring in Somalia with integrated visualization and GIS tools—flash alert reporting, periodical analytical reporting and briefings, field-based NGO security roundtables, individual security advisories, training, and crisis management assistance— play an important role in establishing a baseline of credible information, delivering usable analysis on which to base programming and risk management decisions, and furnishing the skills and tools required to navigate the environment and deliver aid safely. This in turn promotes NGOs’ delivery of services to their beneficiaries and the fulfilment of their projects and programs. With the new funding cycle, INSO will strengthen its field presence and ensure greater responsiveness to NGO needs as the context and its challenges evolve. INSO’s activities currently benefit 179 humanitarian and development organization partners (including NGOs, Red Cross/Red Crescent movements, UN humanitarian agencies, and humanitarian donors). ltbrgtlt/pgt

Alight places great importance on meaningful, inclusive community engagement and accountability for the sustainability of the initiatives. The interventions are community-led and coordinated with both communities and local authorities. Community volunteers and committees play key roles in the management and maintenance of the rehabilitated or constructed WASH facilities. Alight will integrate its response by collaborating with other partners in the area through the integrated response framework (IRF).ltbrgtlt/pgt
