Localized Multi-Hazard Anticipatory Action Facility Pakistan In Pakistan, droughts, heat waves and floods occur regionally time and again. With anticipatory disaster relief, damage can be minimised, i.e. aid money is released if certain conditions are met - even before the disaster. Welthungerhilfe is creating the conditions in several regions with the 'START Network': This includes good local preparation, early warning systems and local experts who predict when, where and how a heat wave will develop, for example. Local organisations can then best help the people affected. 1008000
FbA - Early Action in Madagascar In an important rice-growing area in Madagascar, the early warning system introduced by Welthungerhilfe has struck and predicted a drought. In accordance with the protocol agreed upon in advance, highly vulnerable farming families now receive cash in advance via mobile phones distributed in advance, so that they can prepare for the lean period and do not have to sell livestock later out of necessity, for example, or buy at inflated prices or take their children out of school. With the help of this anticipatory 'damage limitation', later - then much more costly - measures can be avoided. 7480

Projet de réponse précoce lié aux effets néfaste de l'inondation au Madagascar L'absence des organismes humanitaires dans des régions eloignées fragilise la capacité des communautés se trouvant dans la région en cas d'une situation d'urgence et matérialisé par le retard d'intervention au detriment des personnes victimes. L'intervention permettra aux ménages cibles de couvrir leurs besoins en termes de nourriture pendant la durée de leur déplacement et leur permettra ainsi de se rétablir plus rapidement une fois rentrés chez eux. 6000 personnes seront ciblés comme "participants" de projet et auront un appui financier par des transferts monétaires (cfw et transferts conditionnels). 6000
START Thsolotsho Flood Response After two years of insufficient rains and El Nina induced drought Zimbabwe is seeing significantly more rains than normal this season which is very likely linked to a mild La Nina phenomenon. Additionally, tropical Cyclone Dineo graduated into a tropical depression on the 16th ot February however lt still caused heavy precipitation in Bulawayo, Tsholotsho, Matobo, Kezi, Umzingwane, Bulilima, Gokwe South and Mberengwa districts causing riverine and flash flooding and subsequent destruction of livelihoods and properties. Gwayi river in Matebeleland North burst is banks which culminated in the inundation of homes and schools infrastructure causing considerable damage to property and livelihoods. GoZ declared state of disaster on 1 of March 2017 due to the flooding arid seeks international support to respond also particularly with regard to rehabilitation of infrastructure. WHH has been providing response already under the standing PCA with UNICEF. The project will contribute to reduction in the negative impact of the floods on affected families. And hence the outcome will be improved coping mechanisms for the families affected by floods. Project targets 1,200 HHs in Tsholotsho district (app. 50% women). 1HH = 5 persons

Improved Waste Management in Bo, Makeni and Kenema Since the Ebola crisis, everyone in Sierra Leone now recognises that better hygiene and a healthier environment are essential to prevent more epidemics. Unauthorised dumping sites and illegal waste disposal spread illnesses, so Welthungerhilfe is helping the government to develop an infrastructure for municipal waste collection. Sierra Leone's private sector is underdeveloped so it is expected to participate in providing public services and is also involved in this project. At the same time, jobs are being created for the country’s numerous unemployed young people. Awareness of waste reduction, separation and recycling is also being raised by various means such as through schools. To enhance the capacity of Bo and Makeni City Councils as well as of private sector actors through promotion of Integrated Waste Management Programs to improve on environmental sanitation and socio-economic conditions in secondary towns of Sierra Leone Main direct beneficiaries will be the City Council Administrations, line ministries (e.g. Ministry of Health & Sanitation (MoHS), Environmental Protection Authority (EPA)), Waste Stakeholder Committees and working groups, small and medium sized enterprises and informal waste workers. In total about 300 persons. Indirect beneficiaries are all 312,000 residents of Bo (200.000) and Makeni (112.000) towns when project is in full swing.

International Multi-Disciplinary Development Programme Environment & Climate Change In October 2018 DFID (the UK Department for International Development) published a commercial tender to establish a number of framework contracts with potential suppliers for a variety of 11 topics, under the title "International Multi-Disciplinary Development Programme, IMDP", with the tender number 8373. The programme foresees a number of lots: 1. Climate Change and Environment (1 and 11) 2. Conflict and Governance (2 and 12) 3. Education (3 and 13) 4. Human Development and Health (4 and 14) 5. Humanitarian (5 and 15) 6. Infrastructure (6 and 16) 7. Liveihoods (7 and 17) 8. Social Development (8 and 18) 9. Procurement & Logistics (9 and 19) 10. Research (10 and 20) 11. Statistics and Data (11 and 22) The purpose of the tender is to identify a limited number of suppliers for each lot, "to enable DFID to access advice and expertise in a cost efficient and effective manner ... by multi-disciplinary teams of quality professionals to design, manage and deliver international development programmes services with greater agility and innovation whilst maintaining fair competition, in response to the dynamic and challenging needs of working in complex and fragile contexts" (ToR, p. 2). Hence, for each lot/ topic it is anticipated that programme pipelines will be launched by DFID to which framework participants will have access and can submit proposals for services. Lot numbers 1 to 10 comprise potential pipelines of max. 3 Mio GBP per project and lots 11-22 are high value contracts for up 3-12 Mio GBP per project. Following internal discussions in the Programme Management Team in 10/2018 and after consultation with a number of country offices, Welthungerhilfe decided to submit a bid as lead agency for a larger consortium for Lot 1 (Environment and Climate Change, low value contracts) and was selected as one of framework partners. The consortium includes ACTED, Ayunda en Accion, CESVI, Helvetas, HIVOS, PIN, Fundación para la investigación del clima (FIC, Spain) and International Synergies (UK). Due to the global nature of this framework it is not possible to break down target groups in numbers. As supplier for DFID the primary beneficiary are DFID departments and programmes overseas. Other UK government departments can also make use of the services of the framework supplier for technical assistance and programme implementation. Beneficiaries of projects arising from call-down are anticipated to be a) local governments/ ministries dealing with issues of climate change and environment in the partner countries of DFID (+ UK government) b) local populations in the regions covered by call-down contracts in a given sub-theme. c) local partner organisations Details of target groups will be established in individual projects under this programme. DFID is the main client under this framework agreement. However, it is possible that other UK Government services will request WHH for services under this agreement.

User centred Sanitation Design Humanitarian Innovation Fund: Rapid Community Engagement Project Adaptation and use of rapid community engagement methodologies to understand the sanitation needs and practices of communities affected by emergencies The 1t proposed project setting is Imvepi settlement in Arua District where 135,000 South Sudanese refugees were settled and lmvepi thereby reached its full capacity. Even though the location was hence closed for new arrivals by July 31,2017, the sanitation gap at lmvepi settlement is huge. Household latrine coverage in the settlement is at only 3% (August 31, 2017), communal latrine density is at 1:45. Therefore adequate sanitation services are urgently needed. The 2nd project setting 15 Bidibidi settlement in Yumbe district, 40 km away from lmyepi Camp. Bidibidi, Uganda‘s biggest refugee settlement, reached its full capacity and is currently a home to more than 276,000 South Sudanese refugees with settlements extending over 250 km². With an overall latrine coverage of only 40% and even less coverage in some zones (e.g. 17% in Zone 4), there is a huge need for sanitation interventions. Moreover, some areas at Bidibidi settlement are prone to floods, in May 2017 392 households and in July 2017 200 households were affected by floods and relocated to safer locations within Bidibidi settlement, sanitation facilities are still lacking. This leads to an urgent need of appropriately designed facilities. The direct beneficiaries include 300 HH who benefit from latrine materials in accordance with the user centered design 100 HH of people with special needs (PSN) who will be assisted in construction of their HH latrine. 500 HH who will receive hygiene kits (including hand washing facilities (tippy taps)).
