OCHA Field activities, Pakistan OCHA Field activities, Pakistan Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) involvement in Pakistan began in 1987, when an office was set up in Peshawar to support the organization’s Afghanistan operations. This office was moved to Afghanistan in 2003. In 2005, an office was officially established in Pakistan to respond to the devastating earthquake in the north. OCHA’s presence was scaled back in the ensuing years, but the organization re-established an office in 2009 to assist over 3 million people displaced by insecurity in the north-west. OCHA provides comprehensive support to the humanitarian community in activities related to coordinating emergency preparedness planning, humanitarian response, disaster risk reductionand resilience. OCHA also ensures coordination with national and international NGOs through their umbrella groups. These include the Pakistan Humanitarian Forum, which is an alliance of 57 INGOs, and the National Humanitarian Network, which is a consortium of more than 180 national NGOs. Through knowledge sharing and training, OCHA also helps strengthen the capacity of national and international stakeholders to respond to emergencies. Given the likely recurrence of natural disasters and crises in Pakistan, OCHA continues to work closely with the government and humanitarian partners to ensure an effective response to future crises.

Scale up in provision of primary emergency health care services, including Maternal Child and Neonatal Care, to conflict-affected and vulnerable population in Magumeri, Bama and Dikwa LGAs, Borno State. In support to the UN-led coordinated humanitarian response in Borno State, INTERSOS is proposing a 5-months project that will address critical gaps in primary health services for a highly vulnerable population in accessible communities in Magumeri and Dikwa Local Government Areas (LGA), Borno State, Nigeria. The project has been designed to meet the affected population’s most urgent needs in a way that empowers local communities and service providers by working through existing structures where available, adhering to Nigerian guidelines and protocols, and empowering community stakeholders and other project’s beneficiaries in direct service delivery. Focusing on the particular needs of women and children, elderly and disabled people, INTERSOS will target communities where service providers are currently unavailable or unable to cope with the overwhelming needs of returnees, IDPs and host community.

In areas where the Ministry of Health (MoH) facilities are functional but operating at limited capacity, INTERSOS will train staff, equip and supervise them to provide quality lifesaving primary and reproductive health care services. In accessible distant areas where services are not functioning, INTERSOS will work through mobile clinics (MC) by targeting areas where there is no access - or limited - to health facilities (HF),the mobile team is composed by 2 clinicians (one nurse/doctor or health assistant and a midwife) , ancillary staffs and CHVs for hygiene  and health promotion providing care  for OPD cases (adults and under five ) for common illnesses  and SRH cases (ANC and PNC clients) .
A double-checking system will also be put in place both at community and HF level. As part of a community-based and integrated approach, INTERSOS will train community health volunteers (50% female) to strengthen referral networks, monitor health and nutrition, and conduct awareness raising on available services.

Furthermore, the upgrade of the INTERSOS Health Facility in Dikwa, in Fulatari-Bulabulin area will be a first phase to enable access to comprehensive primary health care to its catchment population: Bulabulin IDPs camp, Agric IDPs camp, Masarmari camp, Twenty housing estate, Fulatari camp (approximately 16,000 people, DTM XII).
Alongside with the State Malaria Elimination Program, WHO and other actors, INTERSOS has been assigned to organize Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC) in Dikwa town and Bama town targeting 24,000 and 6,000 children (3 to 59 months) respectively .
Currently, INTERSOS is covering the gaps in provision of health services in Magumeri LGA with its own funding. Furthermore, the project has been designed in a complementary way with other INTERSOS health activities across Borno State in order to guarantee a smoother handover from NHF and other funding. This handover will take place starting from November 2018.
Life-Saving Emergency Response to Support Critical Shelter, NFI, and CCCM Needs of IDPs along the Maiduguri-Monguno Axis The proposed six-month project aims at procuring, prepositionining and distributing 500 emergency shelters (Bama type), 1500 emergency shelter kits and 2,000 comprehensive NFI kits as a rapid response to new arrivals into the Maiduguri-Monguno Corridor to cover critical gaps in the coverage of humanitarian needs. In addition, CCCM assistance will be provided to conflict-affected IDPs living in formal and informal settlements along the Maiduguri-Monguno axis through dedicated mobile CCCM teams.

The intended project will increase ACTED’s ability to respond to emergency needs of highly vulnerable populations in the Maiduguri-Monguno corridor areas where resources are limited and public and private infrastructure is largely destroyed and humanitarian partner have not been able to respond due to limited resources. In particular, it will promote the safety and dignity of families affected by the conflict by ensuring that new arrivals have a shelter available in their locations and thereby guarantee higher levels of protection. It will also provide families with essential and urgently needed non-food items, which will facilitate their day-to-day needs. The project will also strengthen site coordination mechanisms and site facilitation in the targeted areas through the establishment of site committees and clear referral pathway mechanisms for beneficiaries in order to ensure that sensitive cases are being referred to the correct partner in a swift and respectable manner. ACTED’s program teams will also help improve infrastructure through urgently needed site upgrades.

ACTED will deploy dedicated mobile teams along the Maiduguri-Monguno axis to assist recently displaced populations and respond quickly to rapidly changing situations, in line with the needs reflected in the NHF’s Reserve Allocation Strategy Paper. Emphasis will be given to areas receiving a high number of new arrivals, including the villages of Gajigana and Gajiram. It is expected that 25,000 individuals will benefit from the proposed intervention, with at least half of them accessing the Complaints and Feedback Response Mechanism and information management boards and services.
Lifesaving immediate WASH Response to IDP in 2 camps new arrivals and returnees in Kala-Bale LGA, Borno state, Nigeria This project focuses on addressing the emergency WASH needs 23,575 IDPs and
returnees in Borno State and to ensure their dignity, welfare and save their lives. The project will be implemented in Kala Balge LGA where TDH is already established and is implementing WASH activities having taken over from Oxfam who handed over during their departure through the WASH sector. 
Since then TDH has continued to provide WASH needs to the people of Rann and chair the WASH coordination group in Rann. The needs for WASH in Rann are still high as there is a perpetual influx of new arrivals and returnees into Rann from other adjacent locations. Currently there are 3 agencies carrying out WASH activities in Rann i.e. ICRC, TDH and UNICEF though the later does not do direct implementation and has partnered with TdH though one existing PCA for Rann.
This proposed project for Kala- Balge will lead to reduction of the incidence of water related diseases within Kala Bagle LGA and general well-being and behaviors change of the targeted 23575 individual and indirectly to many more people within the. The following is a summary of the targets and outputs of the proposal
 Rehabilitation of 30 water facilities to standard
 Replenishing of 1000 hygiene kits to households especially new arrivals who might not have benefitted before and the most affected
 Chlorination of all 50 water points in Rann
 Intensive hygiene promotion targeting the new arrivals and over congested camps (boarding primary school and general hospital who are currently underserved by existing WASH resources within TdH)
 Construction of 200 shared household latrines with equal number latrine cleaning kits
 Provision of 200 units of cleaning kits and hand washing stations
 Training for 50 CHV and 100 Chlorinators and 50 community leaders as well as 75 WASH committees’ members to ensure the knowledge is impacted to the key people in the LGA and contribute to sustainable management of developed WASH facilities.
These proposed activities contribute directly to the sector objectives as described in the NHF SAI 2018 strategic paper and directly contributes to the global mission of providing humanitarian assistance to over 2.9 million individuals that needs WASH assistance in the North East Nigeria crisis
Addressing unmet basic health needs of conflict affected population in Borno State The project, ‘Addressing unmet essential  health needs of conflict affected population in Borno State is a one-year project  aimed at improving access to basic life-saving integrated health services in Borno State. The project will work through Hard-to-Reach mobile medical teams, Community-oriented resource persons, and mental health focal points to reach 193,000 people in IDP camos and host communities in the project state. These include men, women, girls, and boys. Overall, the project will ensure continued provision of essential health services to conflict-affected people through deployment of H2R MHTs and implementation of iCCM while maintaining the specialized mental health care at the PHCs of Borno state.
Emergency WASH response for new onset manmade disaster Ngala LGA In Ngala, SI is the only actor with permanent presence of expatriate staff on the ground. Ongoing projects are supported by CDC and OFDA to provide emergency WasH.SI also have a prepositioned contingency stock to intervene in case of water-borne disease outbreak during the rainy season. The population main needs regarding sustainable access to water and to sanitation facilities is currently being covered by the above-mentioned grant. 

However with the combined overstretched wash services and new influx of IDP’s the proposed project   
will undertake to scale up WaSH intervention through emergency wash services to ensure timely and lifesaving assistance. The activities entails (i) Water trucking, (ii) Hygiene kit distribution (ii) Water treatment kit for SAM cases (iv) rehabilitation and/or desludging of existing sanitation facilities and (iv) hygiene promotion alongside with waste management.
