Integrated WASH and Education assistance to populations facing catastrophic humanitarian conditions in Taiz governorate. Parameter 1 In line with YHF 2019 First Standard Allocation strategy and the WASH cluster and Education cluster objectives, NRC will through this project, provide assistance to vulnerable households in Al-Mukha district of Taiz governorate that is classified under IPC 4 and are facing catastrophic living conditions. The project interventions will improve access to WASH services and attain sustained school attendance by primary school children from the identified communities. The proposed WASH interventions include (i) rehabilitation of water systems and water testing to ensure conflict affected men, women, boys and girls in the target location access safe water, (ii) provision of latrines to enhance good hygiene practices and (iii) support in solid waste management activities to ensure clean and safe environment. Under the Education component of the project, school going children (age 6 - 14) from vulnerable IDP households, in schools in the proximity of IDP hosting sites, will be provided with food in form of High Energy Biscuits (HEBs), under the proposed school feeding programme, to improve their nutrition and sustain their school attendance. Schools benefiting from the project will also have their WASH facilities rehabilitated and upgraded to meet the required standards as per students’ population and gender segregation needs. Also, drinking water systems will be constructed in schools, to provide safe, clean drinking water to children and teachers in schools. For sustainability purposes, all these schools will be connected to existing water networks to ensure continued water supply even after the life of the project. Hygiene promotion activities will be implemented in the target schools to increase knowledge, improve sanitation practices of children, teachers and overall school community with the purpose of inculcating a culture of better hygiene and sanitation to prevent outbreak and spread of diseases. The schools will be provided with hygiene kits such as detergents to keep WASH facilities clean, soap for children to wash their hands after using the toilets. Students will be provided with individual water bottles to use in fetching and drinking water, to curb the poor water drinking practices of sharing one cup across many children that risks to increase their exposure to and spread of diseases. NRC’s WASH and Education teams will work together in implementation of WASH in schools both the soft ( hygiene promotion) and hard (latrines’ rehabilitation and drinking water systems’ construction) activities, to ensure quality implementation.

Selection of project beneficiaries will be carried out in a transparent and inclusive manner involving all stakeholders Education Offices, community committees, local leaders, group representatives and local authorities. Beneficiary selection will be carried out in line with the cluster recommended selection criteria. Meetings will be organized to sensitize the communities on the objectives, activities and project implementation modalities.
Procurement of basic hygiene kits to newly displaced persons within the rapid response mechanism (RRM), in line with parameter 3. 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, where by displaced families are take an additional toll, leading to magnified risks of hygiene related diseases

Through this project, UNICEF proposes to procure 40,000 basic hygiene kits to be distributed to newly displaced persons.
WASH Emergency Response to Cholera Outbreak in Shu’ob, Azzal, Al-Safiyah and Al-Sabe’in districts in Amanat Al-Asimah, Yemen, 2019 The project seeks to scale up the ongoing cholera response in Amanat Al-Asimah governorate for 21,000 households, comprising an estimated 147,000 individuals, by providing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions in locations with high risk of cholera. The proposed interventions include rapid repairs of water and sanitation facilities in locations suffering from overflow of cesspits and sewage networks and accumulated solid waste, improving drinking water quality through water testing (fecal contamination) and Free Residual Monitoring (FRC) at points of use, minor repair of water sources, as well as hygiene and cholera awareness sessions at community and household levels along with distribution of cholera kits and IEC materials distribution to enhance good practices. The awareness sessions will be implemented by the project’s Emergency Cholera Team (ECTs), in addition to mobilizing the community to contribute to the implementation of activities under the supervision of DRC teams, in addition, DRC will responds to MoWE and WASH Cluster request, to provide financial support for the RRTs who are already established and trained by MoWE to do quick WASH response, investigate and respond to alerts, and this will be under Transfers and Grants to Counterparts.  The project will be implemented in close coordination with the relevant governmental institutions, including the General Authority for Rural and Supply Projects (GARWSP), the Local Water and Sanitation Corporation (LWSC), and Cleaning Fund, in addition to non-governmental actors working on the ground.
Emergency Health Response in Sana’a and Amran governorates in Yemen The key focus of this project is to improve access to primary and secondary healthcare services, including those provided in district hospitals, for the most vulnerable boys, girls, women and men in seven districts across two governorates in Yemen: Sana’a (Manakhah, Sa’fan, and Al Haymah Al Kharijiyah districts) and Amran (Amran, Huth, Kharif and Harf Sufyan), prioritizing locations in the Second Standard Allocation YHPF 2019 strategy paper and guidance from the Health Cluster. 

RI will provide operational support to 23 fixed health facilities (HFs) – 5 hospitals, 3 health centers (HC),15 health units (HUs), and 1 emergency mobile medical team (EMMT) to provide health services at the relevant level of the healthcare system that will be deployed in Amran governorate. The support will include provision of incentives and trainings to HF staff, rehabilitation and equipping the target HFs with medical and non-medical furniture and equipment (including solar systems), procuring and providing essential medicines and medical supplies, providing operational costs and other support based on the identified needs. Supplies of basic and supplementary pharmaceuticals kits will be provided by WHO, and RI will procure additional essential medicines not included in the kits. Additionally, RI will also support the healthcare system through a referral system to ensure that patients will have access to required services at a higher level of care, including emergency care. RI will be involved in the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI) programs and protocols. RI will also include a capacity building component, training and mentoring 90 health workers across all 23 supported health facilities and 1 EMMT. RI plans to compliment the YHF provision of healthcare services with curative nutrition services and referrals, and nutrition education and awareness raising through a separate nutrition project, to be funded by WHO, as well as Basic Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (BEmONC) and Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Neonatal Care (CEmONC) services at select HFs, to be funded by UNFPA  .   

The selection of the health facilities has already been approved by the Governorate Health Offices (GHOs)   (please refer to Annex 4 and 5) and the health cluster (Annex 6 ).

Under this project, RI will target a total of 137710 affected population, out of whom 122955 host communities and 14755 IDPs. Each member of the community who will benefit from at least one health service within RI’s supported 23 fixed health facilities and 1 emergency mobile medical team (EMMT) will be counted as one beneficiary. RI calculated the number of affected beneficiaries (137710) based on previous calculations and analysis of the HIS database that RI used in YHF 1SA 2018 to track unique beneficiaries at the targeted health facilities.
Emergency Cholera response in Dhi Bin and Thula Districts of Amran governorate This project is a response to the recent wave of the cholera outbreak that is spreading fast and affecting savagely. The project overall objective is to reduce cholera/AWD incidence and case fatality within Dhi Bin and Thula districts in Amran governorate which is in line with the priority of the 1st reserve allocation that aims to support the emergency response to the latest cholera outbreak.

Parameter 1: High impact health response in Abyan ( Khanfir  Sarar districts) and Lahj ( Almusaimir district) Through this project CSSW will continue to take part in an integrated response along with other humanitarian actors to share in famine risk reduction by responding to the critical health needs in IPC4 prioritized districts . The overall objective of this project is to contribute in improvement of the health situation and life-saving interventions through providing quality minimum service package to the most vulnerable population in 3 IPC4 districts in Abyan and Lahj.
The project strategy is in line with the IFRR approach which developed by the 4 related clusters. The project response has 3 different levels : institutional  community and household levels.

The project will provide Minimum Service Package (MSP) including Primary Health Care (PHC) and  Reproductive Health (RH/FP) services in the targeted communities within the targeted districts through supporting fixed health facilities HFs with skilled health providers. In the service delivery side , the project will equip and operate 12 HFs to provide MSP services in 2 districts in Abyan and one distric in Lahj.  In parallel with the HFs services , we will receive RH kits from UNFPA to be distributed under RH IAWG. 
in the community side the project will train 60 community volunteers to increase awareness and facilitate the project activities among the community through health education sessions and home visits among the targeted communities. The community awareness is accompanied with distribution of IEC materials including the main health massages related. 

At institutional level, CSSW is going to support the capacities of the (12) public health units (selection approved by GHOs/DHOs in Abyan and Lahij) to provide MSP health services to selected undernourished communities. The medical supplies, training and cash incentives for (60) health staff (50% female) in the targeted HFs will be provided for ten months.

Comprehensive approach will be adopted to promote good hygiene practices. CSSW is going to select (60) CHVs (50% female) from the targeted districts. Three 5-days training workshops about comprehensive hygiene promotion approach will be hold for the selected CHVs, staff of the supported health units’. Community education activities include (12,000) home visits, (1,800) group awareness sessions for men, women, boys, and girls, and counselling sessions in fixed health facilities will be done through ten months in the targeted districts. With participation at the core, promotion activities and distributed IEC materials will emphasize health key massages and prevention of diarrhea, hand washing, menstrual hygiene, infant and young child feeding, water treatment, food storage, waste disposal, as well as cholera key awareness messages. Men and women of all ages will be encouraged to participate in groups so they can voice their concerns and express their preferences while implementing the project activities.
Emergency Support to Sustain Life-Saving Reproductive Health Services for Crisis Affected Populations in the governorates in the West Coast of  Yemen The protracted crisis in Yemen has rendered the Government of the Republic of Yemen unable to finance free public health services for the population. Functionality of most health facilities now depend on the support of humanitarian partners. Without access to reproductive health services, women and girls particularly pregnant women are at risk of preventable maternal deaths and getting unwanted pregnancies. With only three months left in the year, UNFPA's humanitarian appeal for 2019 has been only about 30 percent funded. Lack of funding will lead to closure of over 100 health facilities supported by UNFPA. This lifeline support is aimed at maintaining provision of lifesaving reproductive health services in health facilities that are at the verge of closure due to lack of funding. The project will bridge the acute funding shortfall to keep these health facilities functional up to the end of the year to provide sorely needed reproductive health services. The project targets health facilities in  Abyan, Aden, Hajjah, Hodeidah, Sa'ada, Taizz and West Coast that are at the verge of closure. These health facilities are located in 40 districts covering a total population of about 4.7 million among whom 1.2 million are women and girls of reproductive age. It is estimated that about 120,000 women among this population are pregnant and will need specific maternal health services.This project will support health facilities to continue providing lifesaving reproductive, maternal and newborn health services by providing resources to support operational costs, staff incentives, supplies and equipment targeting the most vulnerable among this population.

The project will support the running of 30 BEmONC facilities and 17 CEmONC facilities for four months, till the end of January 2020.

Cholera Emergency Response in Wald Rabi district of Al Bayda Governorate This project has been designed to be an emergency response to the current AWD/Cholera outbreak throughout the country. Ultimately, the project’s goal is to contribute to reducing cholera/AWD incidence and case fatality. By doing so, the proposed project will also help achieve the YHRP Health cluster objectives, which in turn will contribute to achieving the overall YHRP strategic objectives. 

Beneficiaries of the project will be those most vulnerable to the cholera outbreak of all genders and age groups including IDPs and host communities in the targeted district. Suspected or confirmed cases infected with AWD/cholera will be NFDHR’s focus for the project interventions. Populations infected by AWD/cholera will benefit from established Diarrhea Treatment Centers (DTCs) and Oral Rehydration Centers (ORCs). Additionally, rural populations affected by AWD/cholera, which are further from the DTCs, will be supported through the public awareness activities conducted, targeting all populations, 

NFDHR is already working in Wald Rabi on a WASH project with funding from YHF through the 1st SA, and as such we will coordinate the WASH project with this proposed Health project to ensure a comprehensive approach. Additionally, we will ensure coordination with other NGOs working in WASH and Health in the same district through UNICEF and the WASH cluster.

NFDHR’s strategy will be to train health workers in the target district for responding to all cholera and AWD reports from vulnerable areas. Training community health volunteers (CHVs) on raising community awareness on cholera. In the project, NFDHR will establish 1 DTC and 5 ORCs for referring, managing, and treating Cholera cases in Wald Rabi district.
