Provision of emergency Life-saving water, sanitation and hygiene response to communities experienced climatic shocks in Galkayo North . ltpgtPMWDO proposes to scale up its WASH activities with immediate life-saving response to counter the high intersectoral severity of needs of communities  that have experienced climatic shocks and to mitigate furtherdisplacement through emergency life-saving water, sanitation, and hygiene response in Galkayo North. The project target is to provide WASH services for up to 17,000 people in 5 IDPS and 1 village settlements. The proposed provision of life-saving water services will be through water trucking and rehabilitation of strategic borehole and install solar power and pumping system, and pipe networks to one (1) borehole in Gacma Falla   settlement  which has been proposed based on the groundwater source, strategic capacity to serve a large number of people . in this project PMWDO will construct 4 water kiosks in 2 IDPS (2 kiosk at each IDP )and will facilitate up to 4000m pipeline extension between the host community and IDPS to install sustainable water sources for IDPS . In  the5 IDP  PMWDO will construct 20 emergency latrines for new under-served IDP sites with response gaps and a huge influx of Elnino-displaced arriving at the settlements where 15% of facilities will be tailored to be accessible to People living with disabilities (PwDs). Mass hygiene promotion campaigns will be conducted in all the 5 IDP settlements and 1 village  targeting up to 17,000 people. The campaigns will aim to sensitize the target beneficiaries on the preventive measures against water-related diseases including AWD/Cholera. The proposal furthermore plans to distribute hygiene kits which include standard MHM sets to 1700 HH to those displaced as a result of climatic shocks including pregnant and lactating mothers as well as MAM/SAM children. During the project duration, 20 sets of sanitation tools will also be distributed to support solid waste management, and garbage collection and to support the clean-up campaigns within Galkacyo North effected sites. To directly benefit 17,000 people from 5 IDP settlements and 1 village in Galkayo, PMWDO plans to provide the WASH services for a period of 10 months targeting the following sites: ltbrgt  Samawade1,Bakool sare , kulmiye garsoor, Tawakal , Margaaga and Gacma Falla Village. ltbrgtlast year Somalia is faced El Nino-induced flooding, affecting about 1.7 million people in 32 districts.Gu season rains, climatic forecasts that indicated a 55-65% likelihood of above average rainfall between March and May.With the likelihood of above average rainfall in the Gu season, and dry spell thereafter with prospects of La Nina later in the year. An assessment conducted by PMWDO  confirmed that the targeted rural communities and IDP are living very precariously with very limited access to safe water and rely on unsafe water from shallow wells. Moreover, their purchasing powers are completely eroded and they cannot afford to buy water from private water vendors, as such the affected women and young girls end up covering long distances beyond safety of their homes and camps to access water from community water points and queue for for long hours beyond cluster standards. ltbrgtThe risk of waterborne disease outbreaks and other health hazards is expected to increase due to contamination of water sources and prolonged exposure of people to stagnant water.IDPs are particularly vulnerable because they live in congested settlements and lack access to adequate water and sanitation. . The project will add on to the integrated emergency response.lt/pgt
