Emergency Nutrition and Health Response for Drought-Affected, Conflict-Affected, and Displaced Communities in SNNP and Oromiya Regions
The project will respond to the critical nutrition and health needs among vulnerable groups and communities affected by the recent conflict and displacement in three Woredas of West Guji and Gedeo Zones – namely Abaya, Dilla Town, and Yirga Chefe, and in one drought-affected Woreda in West Arsi with chronic food insecurity – Hebana Arsi.
GOAL’s proposed set of activities will include life-saving and life-enhancing interventions that consist of a full CMAM intervention at static health facilities and in IDP camps, as well as the establishment of temporary clinics or Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams at IDP camp level in specific Woredas, and support to health response in static health facilities where relevant. The response will be tailored to ensure maximum support to IDPs at both health facility level and at camp level for communities not accessing health facilities. The approach will include a full CMAM response in all Woredas, with an integrated health and nutrition response in Abaya Woreda, whereby CMAM activities will be complemented by health response – through the implementation of a MHNT at camp level, support to temporary clinics if relevant, and through support to the government health workers at static health facility level. Activities will include:
- Supporting the Ministry of Health frontline staff with the treatment of severe acute malnutrition among children under five, through the establishment or strengthening of out-patient therapeutic programme (OTP) sites and stabilization centres (SCs) at static facilities and camp level.
- Implementation of a targeted supplementary feeding programme (TSFP) to treat moderate acute malnutrition among pregnant and lactating women and children 6-59 months
- Community mobilization and outreach within the Woreda and at IDP camp level to raise awareness of services and increase uptake
- The provision of education on infant and young child feeding in emergencies to caregivers of children suffering from malnutrition, pregnant and lactating women, and other community members
- Formal and on-the-job training of health workers and health extension
- Logistical and technical support to the Woreda Health Office – supporting transportation of RUTF and supplies for example.
- Curative medical consultations and treatment, reproductive healthcare, vaccination campaigns and other health services in Abaya Woreda.
- Ad-hoc support to improve the living conditions of the IDPs – supporting the Zonal and Woreda administrations with the transportation of NFIs or food to camps, construction of external kitchens at congested collective centres and so on.
GOAL aims to target:
2,737 children under 5 suffering from SAM
19,894 children 6-59 months suffering from MAM
9,380 PLW suffering from MAM
554 health workers and health extension workers for training and capacity building
2,400 IDPs for medical consultations during MHNT activities or in temporary clinics
GOAL will establish or strengthen 101 OTP and 17 SC, and expects to establish 46 TSFP sites.
1 MHNT or temporary clinic will be established in Abaya Woreda.
In Yirga Chefe and in Dilla Town GOAL will provide mobile/outreach nutrition services in all IDP camps. The health response in those Woredas will be covered by other actors.

Life Saving Emergency Shelter and Nonfood assistance for conflict and flood affected IDPs.
The proposed intervention will provide life-saving assistance to 17,875(3250HHs) internally displaced persons impacted by man-made disasters like inter communal conflict and natural disasters (mainly flood and other natural hazards), and who are in critical need of emergency shelter (ES) and non-food items (NFI) in Ethiopia.
Natural disasters including flooding, drought, landslide and conflict are recurrent phenomena in most parts of Ethiopia. These disasters are major causes of displacement for large numbers of people and result in loss of human life and assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. According to the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) Round 10, conducted nationwide March/April 2018, 274,765 households (1,613,436 individuals) were displaced in various regions of Ethiopia. The highest rates of displacement are reported in Somali (47%), Oromia (45%), Afar (3%), Tigray (2%), Gambella (1%), Dire Dewa (1%), Amhara (0.4%) and Harari (0.4%) regions, respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict (67%), climate induced shocks (30%) and other shocks (3%). Of the total displaced, 51.6% are women and 48.4% are male.
According to DTM R10, recent ETT’s, partner’s assessments and government request, a total of 414,810 households are displaced across 10 regions as of 04 July 2018. 312,246 households of them remain unassisted. Humanitarian partners are planning to provide S/NFI support to 45,420 households in Oromia, Somali and SNPPR, decreasing the overall gap to 266,826 households out of which 157843 households are priority 1. With current needs exceeding the ES/NFI kits in stock and pipeline, the cluster is forced to prioritize its response, so that only a fraction of acute needs is currently met. Within the proposed EHF project, the ES/NFI cluster will apply the inter-cluster prioritization criteria and will target 14,400 HHs newly displaced IDPs Gedio in SNNP through in kind assistance whereas 8,100 HHs in Somali and Oromia regions through cash for NFI.
The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following Cluster members: International Organization for Migration (IOM), International Rescue Committee (IRC), Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), GOAL Ethiopia and other partners. IOM will take the lead on central procurement of the ES/NFI and work with partners for the distribution of NFIs. NRC, IRC, GOAL Ethiopia will implement the cash based intervention.
The Cash-based assistance will be provided for 8,100 households (IRC: 3,250 HH, NRC: 3,250 HH GOAL: 1,600 HHs) in project locations where quality materials are available on the local market and can be purchased directly by beneficiaries.
NRC has extensive experience in cash based interventions and recently distributed cash for ES/NFI support in Somali region Fafan and Dawa zones. NRC will use lessons learned from previous cash based interventions to scale up cash response in various parts of the country. Under this project, NRC will provide life-saving ES/NFI cash based assistance 3,250 IDP HHs in Somali30%), Oromia (30%), Gambella(20%) and Tigray(20%) regions priority locations.
Exact areas of distribution will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI Cluster members, recipients of this grant and in coordination with regional and zonal government authorities. People who have been internally displaced in 2018 due to conflict and/or natural disasters (mainly floods), and who are in critical need of ES/NFI, will be prioritized.

Livestock based Emergency Response in Flood and conflict affected Communities of Shebelle Dawa Zones, Somali Region, Ethiopia.
This project is a livestock-based intervention focusing on preparedness for humanitarian shocks and response to the ongoing crisis such as flood, conflict and disease outbreaks affecting livestock and ultimately humans.
Somali Region of Ethiopia is one of the regions where nearly 40% of the population are pastoralists and agro-pastoralists. It is a region that is most seriously affected by drought and flood induced disasters in the past. According to the flood damage report in Somali Region released in June 2018, Shebele and Dawa Zones are among the areas severely affected by flood. It affected 27,251 households and displaced 16,336 households in Shebele Zone and affected 2,566 households and displaced 1020 households in Dawa Zone.
Moreover, Dawa Zone is among the areas severely affected by inter-ethnic conflict since September 2017. As of May 2018, in Moyale Woreda of Dawa Zone, the communities of more than 9 villages live in the worst humanitarian situation after they were displaced from their homes. According to multi-agency assessment conducted in last week of May 2018, 5,645 households (93,870 individuals) were affected by the violent clashes.
The 2018 Ethiopian Humanitarian Disaster and Resilience plan has shown that out of the 2.4 million households that need livestock support nationally, 629,249 households are in Somali Region indicating the second highest need next to SNNPR. The region has the second highest projection of SAM cases (89,353) in 2018 having a total of 99 hotspot woredas. All of the woredas targeted for this project are priority 1 hotspot woredas.
In response to the dire needs of communities affected by flood and conflict, this project aims to contribute to the preparedness for and response to humanitarian shocks in Firfir, Mustahil and Kelafo Woredas of Shebele Zone and Moyale, Mubarek and Hidet Woredas of Dawa Zone.
To enhance improved preparedness for humanitarian shocks and weather-related crisis, the project planned to address the areas with high potential for fodder production through capacity building interventions such as training targeted community members on fodder production, management, harvesting, hay making, preservation and storage for 120 households. They will also be provided by all the necessary input such as fodder seeds, hand tools, water pump and pipe. Moreover, they will be assisted in better management of water for fodder production. The project aims to construct 2 fodder banks in Shebele Zone. Interventions that improve marketability, durability and value addition of the biomass produced/collected are also planned in this project.
The response element of the project mainly focuses on provision of package of emergency animal health services for flood and conflict affected communities. Voucher based livestock treatment will be provided for 6000 households in the 6 woredas. Risk- based participatory surveillance and response activities will be supported which includes technical and logistic support for government-led livestock vaccination programme. The intervention also aims to strengthen the community animal health delivery through mapping, refresher training and provision of booster kits for community animal health workers in the 6 woredas. Milking goats will be provided for 200 IDP households severely affected by conflict and hosting children, pregnant and lactating women severely affected by malnutrition.
A total of 187,300 individuals are the direct beneficiaries of this project out of which 1,360 are conflict IDPs. The intervention directly addressing IDPs is restocking households hosting acutely malnourished children and PLW.
The project is based on the previous experience of VSF-Suisse in the area and on-going interventions. Therefore, there will be a participatory monitoring and evaluation mechanisms targeting towards better accountability to the community and enhancing learning. Gender, nutrition and protection will be mainstreamed in the project and monitor

Emergency seed support project for disaster affected smallholders in four districts of Amhara regional state
The overall objective of the project is to protect the livelihood of disaster affected and nutritionally at risk households through a meher crops seed provision intervention, and thereby reducing the need for emergency assistance in the future. FH Ethiopia is proposing to implement this Emergency Seed Support Project for disaster affected smallholders reside in hotspot priority one woredas. It will be implemented in two woredas (Dahana and Gazgibela) of Wag Hemira zone and two woredas (Bugna and Meket) of North Wolo zone of Amhara region. These two zones were reporting significant crop production losses that range from 21% for North Wollo to 40% for Wag Himera as per the 2017 meher assessment report.
The project is expected to address the emergency seed needs and promote the early recovery, and food security situation of 12,202 HHs that are affected by drought and other weather adversities like hailstorms, floods, pest and diseases in 2017. FHE will provide 305.05 metric tons of local chickpea seed to four woredas (Dahana, Gazgibla, Bugna and Meket) in cooperation with respective government agriculture offices and seed supplying cooperatives and unions functional in the areas. The type of locally available chickpea seed is called widely as Kay Shenbera and the planing period runs from August 15 to September 11, 2018. Thus, to closely support this endeavor FHE will hire new and uses existing staffs by charging a proportional amount to this project operation.
This proposed project will directly complement an ongoing emergency food aid and long term programs implemented by FH Ethiopia, ORDA and other humanitarian and development partners. As a result it maintains those gains already obtained from the interventions and preventing further deterioration as a result of recurrent drought. The total budget proposed for this project is $ 300,001 and will be fully supported by UN-OCHA.

Emergency Livelihoods Support for IDPs in Bale Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
The inter-communal violence along the Oromia-Somali region border since September situation in particularly Oromia Region. At least 1,073,7642 people were displaced by conflict as of mi April 2018 from Somalia region and boarder areas within Oromia region. Among these, 134,208 conflict IDPs were hosted in Bale zone in 21 rural and 10 town sites located in 8 Woredas of the zone. Nearly 40% (53,881 people) IDPs are settled in 3 Woredas namely Dawekachen, Mada Walaabu and Rayitu. Most of the IDPs were displaced from their home by leaving everything and exposed to different problems. In all of the sites where IDPs temporarily settled food and nutrition are the main gaps observed.
The proposed project is therefore designed to respond to the emergency livelihood needs of the IDPs settled in Rayitu, Dawekachen and Mada Walaabu Woredas through provision of early maturing seeds, restocking of small ruminants and support to engage in bee keeping activities. There will be active community participation during the targeting, procurement of small ruminants and distribution of the support to ensure the most affected are targeted fairly and transparently. The project will be implemented by Dan church aid (DCA) in the three woredas in close collaboration between line government sectors. The project will target 963 high risk IDP households settled in the three target districts and it will directly benefit 5778 people.

Livestock feed support for drought affected communities in belg producing three woredas of North Wollo zone in the Amhara Region
Failure of the belg rains in Jan-Apr has caused critical livestock feed and water shortages in the belg dependent highland areas of North Wollo zone, Amhara Regional state. Angot, Gazo and Wadla woredas are among the most affected areas and are categorized as priority-1 hotspots by the regional government. In some of the hardest hit kebeles the impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread death of livestock due to shortage of feed and water deteriorating livestock body condition migration of people and livestock stress induced livestock disease drastic fall in the price of livestock deteriorating terms of trade between livestock and cereals increased school drop-out rate and food shortages. The situation is so critical that immediate action is required to protect livelihoods and mitigate impacts on longer term vulnerabilities of affected communities. The feed distribution centers will be established in Wadla (3), Gazo (2) and Angot (2) woredas.
Hence, this project is designed to respond to the livestock emergency in the belg dependent highland woredas of North Wollo, Amhara Regional State. The project aims to ensure the availability of animal feed and veterinary drugs for core breeding animals. In order to ensure that the most affected are addressed, there will be high level of community participation during the targeting and distribution of feed through feed distribution centers. The project will be implemented by Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The project will target three highly affected districts: Angot, Gazo and Wadla and it will benefit 1900 households (9500) people. It is estimated that through this support 3800 core breeding animals will recover from the drought whereas 65,000 additional heads of livestock will be vaccinated in addition to the core breeding animals targeted for feed support. As a result of the additional livestock heads that will be vaccinated, 10833 individuals will directly benefit from the vaccination component. The total number of feed, treatment and vaccination beneficiaries thus is 20,333 (10,370 male and 9,963 female).

Restoring education opportunities for conflict-affected communities in Gedeo, SNNPR and West Guji, Oromia
The proposed intervention will facilitate access to educational services for conflict-affected host community children, returnees and, to lesser degree, children who are internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Oromia and Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples’ (SNNP) regions. A recent assessment conducted in both regions found significant gaps in ensuring that children affected by recent conflicts are able to access education services. Regional Educational Cluster partners (with NRC participation), including local authorities, have designed a clear and detailed response strategy to address this. Unfortunately, the funding secured so far is not sufficient for the urgent interventions set out in the strategy necessary to cover gaps in the essential services.
NRC will collaborate with local authorities and humanitarian organizations to enhance the ability of affected host community and IDP children to access educational services. It will: i) construct temporary learning spaces (TLSs) – to replace damaged and destroyed school infrastructure and ii) support the host community to carry out minor rehabilitation works and cleaning campaigns in schools that hosted IDPs, to facilitate re-opening of those schools.

Community based protection systems for IDPs and Host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali Regional State
In May and June 2018, renewed violence between the Borana (Oromo) and Garre (Somali) communities has led to internal displacement of more than 1.1 million people and protection concerns. Many of the displaced people reside in Hudet (70,203), and Moyale (153,750) woredas and the vast majority are women and children who are generally subjected to high protection risks and psychosocial problems.
Under this project Save the Children aims to address the protection and psychosocial concerns of children and families through strengthening community based child protection mechanisms and psychosocial interventions. The project will be implemented for six months in twenty IDP sites and host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali regional State. The project will directly target 23,617 children (G= 12139, B= 11,478) and 7,070 adults (F= 3,535 M =3,535) through child protection and psychosocial interventions.
The project will enable children and youth to access safe play and edutainment services by establishing child and youth friendly spaces (CampYFS) in IDP sites and facilitating on going interactive programs. It will enhance children’s and youth’s capacity to positively address the challenges they face in their daily life through organizing regular resilience building sessions for children, youth and their care providers. The project will build capacities of relevant government sectors offices to identify and respond to protection concerns of children and facilitate case management and Family Tracing and Reunification services. Save the Children will create community-based violence prevention and mitigation systems through establishing community-based child protection structures in the IDP sites and host communities. It will also raise the awareness of communities on child protection issues including issues of sexual violence, early marriage and abduction through organizing regular community conversation sessions, mass awareness raising events and peer to peer education programs. Further the project will mainstream child protection in governmental and non-governmental actors operating in the targeted woredas through Minimum Standard for Child protection in Humanitarian Action trainings. It will also build their capacity on Psychological First Aid (PFA) through organizing PFA trainings.

UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 485 HW deployed in remote, hotspot areas are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates. Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows HW the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, thus increasing the willingness of HW to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is a strong incentive to attract and retain them. To manage this process, a UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHBs in both Jijiga (Ethiopian Somali region) and Bahir Dar (Amhara region) to assist with the planning of deployment of the HW and oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes in payments or delays.
Fleet management services for RHB allowing HW visit remote parts of the regions:
UNOPS will assign vehicles (through service providers): 22 4x4s pickups in Ethiopian Somali region. The vehicles will have drivers who are familiar with the region. The need for the vehicles is great as the Ethiopian Somali region is the second largest region in Ethiopia, consisting of only few urban centers, with the population spread out across the region. In able to be rapidly respond to health emergencies, the HW need to be highly mobile. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, working with service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. A UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in Jijiga under this component for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams (this person will also oversee supply chain management services). In Amhara region, the RHB will have one SUV at its disposal for moving across the region to conduct supervision. The same modality will apply to the vehicle as in Somali region but no separate UNOPS Operations Associate will be needed for managing the vehicle.
Supply chain management services to deliver supplies in support of response efforts:
UNOPS will deploy four 5MT trucks in Ethiopian Somali region to enable the RHB, UN and NGO partners to deliver supplies across the region. These vehicles will deliver health, WaSH, and nutrition supplies from Jijiga through to zonal logistics hubs for onward delivery to end-users in woredas and kebeles. To manage this process, a fleet management Operations Associate will work from the RHB in Jijiga to manage the supply chain component (as well as the SUV vehicles).
Capacity development of Supply Chain:
As part of the ongoing project, an analysis of the supply chain of the Ethiopian Somali region RHB will be conducted in early May. The findings of this analysis will be taken up by UNOPS and where feasible, turned into proposals for projects to be implemented to improve the supply chain management. To support the implementation of these findings, 13 health logisticians (with pharmaceutical training) will be assigned to the regional and zonal levels and their per diems paid by the project. This staff will implement technical and system level strengthening activities to improve the health supply chain management at the zonal level, building on the previous work done by WHO to create a pull system for medical products. The payment of per diems will address the issue of retention of qualified health logisticians at the zonal level due to inconsistencies in payments. By ensuring the presence of qualified and motivated staff, the existing system can be further improved by utilizing these staff based on the findings of the supply chain analysis.

Emergency nutrition specific and WASH sensitive response for Drought Affected People in Dugda-dawa, and Sorro-barguda districts of West Guji Zone and Goro Dola district of Guji Zone, Oromia Region.
The proposed project aims to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity among children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) through strengthening and expanding geographic coverage of integrated Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM), including Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF-E) (Nutrition) and WaSH sensitive responses.
This intervention will prioritize the prevention of and early treatment of acute malnutrition by supporting local health systems in Dugda-dawa, and Sorro-barguda districts of West Guji Zone and Goro Dola district of Guji Zone, Oromia Region. Activities will focus on enhancing the quality of nutrition services and ensuring the availability of Severely Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderately Acute Malnutrition (MAM) treatment supplies as well as technical and logistic support in Suro Barguda and Goro Dola districts and SAM treatment supplies, technical and logistic support in Dugda dawa distric. In all proposed districts technical support to Health Workers (HWs) and Health Extension Workers (HEWs) will be provided during regular MUAC screening, and in parallel, awareness of acute malnutrition and IYCF among the community and caretakers will be raised. Furthermore, IYCF-E will be reinforced, integrated and implemented with CMAM at all level. Under this project, children under 5 and PLW will benefit from overall CMAM services, and complementary hygiene and sanitation activities.
In addition, in all target districts for direct support to MAM target groups, previously opened Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSPF) sites will be used, with the aim of further strengthen the referral linkage between TSFP and Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding program (OTP) in Health Posts.
Besides, the project will further build the capacity of the target District Health Offices through the provision of technical and logistical support, in order to strengthen the management of treatment for severely malnourished children in all target districts existing health institutions. In total, 39 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) and 6 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened through technical and logistic supports. Moreover, 39 OTP sites and 4 SC will be further strengthened by furnishing with essential CMAM supplies as required.
Furthermore, the project aims to build the capacity of 36 HWs on CMAM-IYCF service provision, and 78 HEWs on IYCF- SAM management for improved quality SAM services in SC and OTP, respectively, through refresher and in-service trainings.
Moreover, various modalities (nutrition and education sessions, support groups, and community mobilization) will be utilized to create awareness on the importance of taking children to the nutrition centers for monitoring or treatment, regardless of their gender. Health and nutrition education campaigns/awareness-raising will be tailored for both male and female caretakers, with a strong emphasis on men’s involvement in child caring practices. Community awareness activities will cover both men and women to ensure practical applications are carried out at the household level.
Gender will be mainstreamed, and gender concerns will be further analyzed during the project’s implementation period. Appropriate measures will be considered for gender equality and ensuring that women benefit. This will include: specifically targeting women for some of the activities (PLW-specific activities like TSFP for MAM PLW) and ensuring equal involvement of boys’ and girls’ participation in other activities (community mobilization sessions, screening, TSFP admission, OTP and SC referral linkage and case management, and capacity building supports). The distribution centers will be made more accessible to target beneficiaries to minimize the risk of GBV Child protection is a core value of the project. All training activities will include a child protection sensitive topics.

Sanitation and hygiene support to conflict induced internally displaced peoples (IDPs) in Gura Damole Woreda of Bale zone in Oromia Region
The conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that escalated in October 2017 has resulted in massive displacements of people into woredas bordering the two regional states in Bale zone. Internally displaced people (IDPs) have settled in several woredas in Bale zone. In March 2018, Oromia WASH cluster identified three woredas, namely Gura Damole, Delo Mena and Dawe Serar from Bale zone as priority woreda for WASH intervention its IDP sites. Of the three woredas, Berak IDP site in Delo Mena hosts the largest IDP population with 7,556 IDPs, while Gibri IDP site of Gura Demola hosts 4392 IDPs and Jido IDP site Dawe Serr hosts 805. However, due to flooded roads, the IDPs in Delo Mena remain largely inaccessible. Hence, with resource limitations in mind, the proposed project will prioritize sanitation and hygiene support o IDP populations in Gura Damole Woreda.
Hence, this project is designed to respond to WASH needs of the IDPs in Gibri 1 and Gibri 2 site of Gura Damole Woreda. The project will carry-out construction of 36 block emergency communal latrines with hand washing facilities and soap distribution accompanied by hygiene promotion to reach 4,392 IDPs (2,301 Female, 2,091 Male) in Gura Damole Woreda of Bale zone. 36 blocks of latrines with 180 stalls (5 stalls per block) will be constructed to serve 3,600 IDPs. Number of persons per communal latrine block is 100 (20 individual per stall) based on sphere standards. 21 latrine will be constructed at Gibri 1 and 15 latrines will be constructed at Gibri 2/Hida Kalu IDP site.

Creating learning opportunities for IDP school age children who have no access to education in Erer, Dawa and Liban Zones.
In the last three years, Ethiopia Somali Region experienced complex and multi-layered displacement dynamics on which drought and conflict were being the primary drivers. According to the IOM (DTM R 9) 832,672 individual were displaced on which the majority of them were displaced during 2017 with 338 sites. Conflict was reported as the primary driver for displacement (488,174), followed by displacement due to climate induced factors (344,498). This trend is consistent overtime, with conflict constantly being the primary cause of displacement across the region especially in Woreda’s close to the border between Oromia and Somali Region.
In Somali Region, the education sector is massively affected by humanitarian crisis and almost 207,051 children aged 5-14 are in need for assistant across the region. Assessments revealed that the main challenges that hinder children from going to school include the increasing depletion of households income in emergencies which in turn means families are unable to afford educational expenditures and the indirect costs of their children attending schools.
Given the urgency to ensure that all children access learning, the national education cluster ha been prioritizing back-to-school campaigns, temporary learning spaces, school feeding and learning stationary. NRC in consultation with National Education Cluster and Ethiopia Somali Region Education Bureau, proposed to work in three of the most remote and severely emergency affected hotspots: Erer, Liban and Dawa zones of Ethiopia Somali Region. NRC proposes to assist at least 14,473 (Boys: 7091 Girls: 7382) conflict and drought affected school age children.
In line with the “EiE minimum standards”, NRC will make sure to create access to inclusive quality education in safe learning environment through:
Construction of temporary learning spaces
Provision of school mats
Conducting community mobilization session for raising awareness on the importance of children’s education, especially girl’s education.
Providing printed networking cards for ensuring education continuity of children affected by displacement and conflict
Providing sets of learning stationary (education/scholastic material) to children attending schools affected by conflict and drought.
Provision of training for teachers on the basic pedagogy and psycho-social support
Conducting EiE training for Woreda officials and education program staffs
Conducting an assessment, monitoring and evaluation visits on learning achievement in collaboration with REB/WEB to the intervention schools
Establishing and strengthening the school management committees (SMC) of targeted schools affected by conflict
Providing training for school center management committees on community participation, role and responsibilities of school committees and child care
Providing monthly incentive for the teachers in the IDP camps

Integrated Emergency Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM), Health, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Responses in Ethiopia, Oromia, and East Harerghe zone: Chinakson, Kumbi, Gursum, Meyu, Gola oda, Midegatola, Fedis, and Babile woredas and SNNPR, Gamogofa zone: Zala and Uba Debre tsehay woredas.
According to the 2018 HDRP, the Meher finding report revealed that two previous years of consecutive drought, compounded with weak rains at the end of 2017 led hundreds of thousands destitute in southern and south-eastern Ethiopia. In Oromia, 1.18 million people are in need of Nutrition support, 2.78 M WASH and 1.58 M people need health support. Similarly, in SNNPR, 719,000 people need Nutrition support, 709,000 WASH and 510,000 people health support. This massive influx of people in a short period has created humanitarian crisis and is pushing to the limited capacity of the Oromia Regional State and Federal Government to meet the basic lifesaving needs of the IDPs. The WASH sector has also identified an estimated 6.9 million people needing lifesaving WASH intervention. According to the 2018 HDRP, (Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan document) people will encounter a lack of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion to protect them from WASH related diseases.
Nutrition: The Potential La Niña impacts in the first quarter of 2018 report, the short rains (October–December) and the long rains (March–May) are likely to underperform and Ethiopia is amongst the “high risk” countries to experience. The likely impacts on Gu/Ganna (March to May) rains which are the main spring rains can cause acute drought conditions in Oromia regions and lowlands of SNNPR. This will also become a critical concern in parts of central and northern SNNPR and central Oromia, which depend on the production of belg crops.
Although Community based management of acute malnutrition (CMAM) services are institutionalized through the routine health services, access to Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) and Stabilization Center (SC) remains a problem especially for the displaced communities. Coordination gaps continue to exist between SAM (OTP/SC) and MAM interventions, with referral and continuum of care breakdowns intensifying during the current crisis. There is need for community level screening and referral and treatment of SAM with and without medical complication. International Medical Corps has conducted a rapid assessment survey in the six priority one hot spot woredas and identified the SAM admission trend and nutrition and other needs of the community and the health facilities there.
Health The overall goal of the health response project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality through improved access to basic PHC and referral services for vulnerable drought and conflict affected communities (IDPs and host communities) in Babile,,Chinakson, Meyu Muluke, Kumbi, and Midega Tola, woredas of East Hararghe zone, Oromia region. This will be realized by establishing MHNT and provision of basic free of charge primary health care for affected IDPs and close host communities, conducting awareness creation on prevention of major reportable diseases via community mobilization and health promotion, provision of essential drugs, medical supplies and infection prevention supplies and distribution of IEC/BCC materials. This project will complement the ongoing efforts by the Ethiopian Government and other stakeholders to contain the impact of health threats created by lack of access to basic health care.
WASH: The critical needs for WASH services provision in terms of quality and quantity has been identified as a severe gap in the targeted IDPs and drought affected woredas. In the targeted Woredas, the low WASH (water and sanitation coverage), limited number of functioning and accessible water sources of safe water, poor condition of sanitation facilities, and hygiene practise increases the risk for WASH-related diseases. In addition, as per the gender roles women and girls are required to travel larger distances (often over 5 kms) for water collection from unsafe water sources (rivers and ponds), which has increased the vulnerability for WASH related disease spread and protection challenges.

Peacebuilding Activities in Gedeo and West Guji Zones
CRS and its partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church (ECC) will provide a comprehensive set of activities to enhance understanding of the root causes of the conflict in Gedeo and W. Guji, targeting populations affected by internal displacement due to civil conflict. CRS and ECC will work with a wide range of stakeholders to facilitate dialog for a nonviolent path forward.
Gedeo Zone, located in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) and Guji Zone, located in Oromia Region are currently affected by a complex and protracted humanitarian crisis stemming from civil unrest and ethnic tension. Further exasperated by an amplified frequency and duration of droughts, the increased violence along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji Zones in early June 2018 led to the displacement of over 860,056 people in the Gedeo Zone and 186,316 people in the West Guji Zone of Oromia Region. In August 2018, the government of Ethiopia started encouraging the return movement of IDPs to their homes many IDPs are coming back to destroyed shelters, loss of belongings, and damaged basic infrastructure. Given the complexity of the conflict, tensions continue to exist between the ethnically different host communities, returnees, and remaining IDPs. There are extensive protection concerns due to the abrupt return of IDPs to their areas of origin because there has been little dialog around the initial cause for the civil unrest and no peacebuilding or social cohesion and community reconciliation activities for the returnees.
The project will take place over the span of three months in four woredas composed of 30 kebeles (10,000 households total). In coordination with the UN, other non-government organizations, and government actors, CRS/ECC will work with all implementing partners to provide a sustainable response. With a goal of enhancing protection through achieving a peaceful coexistence between Gedeo and Guji ethnic groups, CRS/ECC have identified three Strategic Objectives (SOs):
SO1: Community peace structures are strengthened and engaged in peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts
SO2: Target communities are empowered with conflict management early warning and resolution practices skills
SO3: Target communities have reinforced mutual acceptance and social cohesion
CRS will use private and complementary resources to initiate other peacebuilding activities, including community infrastructure rehabilitation to reduce pre-existing tensions between communities and returnees.

Creating learning opportunities for IDP school age children who have no access to education in Guji and Borena Zones of Oromia Regional State.
This project aims to provide education services to IDP school age girls and boys (5-14 age) who have no access to any form of education in Borena and Guji zones of Oromia region. Though the government has been making significant efforts to create access and the improve quality of education, this has been compromised by the recurrent drought and recent conflict. As a result, 31,185 school age children (56% females) are out of school in Oromia. In response, Plan International Ethiopia, with EHF allocated funds of 504,685 USD, has prioritized and designed a project to address the education needs of 15,383 IDP school age children who have no access to any form of education in 5 Woredas (10 sites) of Guji and Borena zones. This will be done through the establishment of temporary learning spaces (TLS), provision of learning stationary, teacher and Woreda education capacity building, and provision of WASH support to schools.
Girls education and participation will be prioritized throughout the project implementation. Community awareness and ‘back to school’ campaigns will be conducted with emphasis on the importance of girl’s education. Teachers and school management committees/PTSAs will be trained on gender and child friendly education approaches to promote active and positive learning environments. Training will also include key messages on child protection, prevention of SGBV, and wider protection concerns. This will support the identification and referral of child protection and GBV cases to the appropriate services. The TLS will also serve as a location for women and mothers to meet, report and discuss issues affecting them, receive information on protection services, and increase awareness on prevention of SGBV as well as identification, referral and response to child protection cases.

WASH emergency and recovery interventions for the conflict affected populations in West Guji
Oxfam will respond to the WASH needs of the returnees and host communities in Bule Hora Woreda in West Guji Zone to reach a total of 45,561 people. These people were affected by the inter – communal conflict in Gedeo and West Guji Zones. They have been displaced, lost members of their families, have had their houses burned down, properties looted and crops destroyed. The host community resources/facilities were overstretched due to the drastic increase of population during the displacement and these resources/facilities have been also damaged or destroyed. Oxfam, however, remains ready to respond to other Woredas depending on needs identified by the WASH Cluster as the situation unfolds given the dynamic nature of the situation.
Oxfam interventions will cover the full WASH package: (a) rehabilitation/maintenance of water schemes/systems ensuring access to safe and sufficient water supply (b) emergency latrine constructions in collective sites and rehabilitation/maintenance of institutional latrines (c) decommissioning of sanitation facilities, desludging of existing filled latrines, disinfection and cleaning of sites (d) capacity building of WASH Committees and Community Health Volunteers (e) hygiene promotion and (f) procurement and distribution of essential WASH NFIs, water treatment chemicals and dignity/menstrual hygiene kits. Gender and protection will be mainstreamed in the WASH interventions. These interventions are among the identified priorities of the WASH Cluster and Allocation Strategy Paper. The total amount of the intervention is USD 380,000. Oxfam will coordinate with the EOC, WASH Cluster, Zonal and Woreda Water, Health and Education Offices, Kebele Administration Office and WASH partners/actors (UNICEF, WHO, NRC, WV, SC, Care, Dorcas, Plan) in planning and implementing the response interventions.

Livelihoods protection Based Emergency Response in four districts of Somali region
This project proposal is submitted by ADRA following the request by the regional government and recommendation of the Agricultural cluster. The proposal is prepared in line with the strategic objectives set out by the Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan 2018. These three mutually-reinforcing strategic objectives includes To save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity To protect and restore livelihoods to prepare for and response to other humanitarian shocks – natural disaster, conflict and displacement. This project contributes to the two strategic objectives (save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity as well as protecting and restore livelihoods). The project targeted 4 drought affected districts (Legehida, Selhad, Dolobay and Gode woredas in Somali region) which are priority one woredas and where the livestock condition has not recovered from the last consecutive 3 drought years. The project will focus in supporting poor pastoralists to produce fodder for their livestock and prevention of livestock epidemic through a mobile animal health team. Also the will focus on the National Systems Strengthening through linkage between the existing local animal health systems.
Therefore, This request by ADRA to OCHA-EHF is to provide the following intervention activities for the Drought affected Beneficiaries -
ADRA will Organize Establish and Train 2 Irrigated pasture/fodder development cooperatives in Gode Woreda.In this intervention ADRA will support a Total of (200HH agro pastoralists from 2 kebeles of 100HHs each). Also ADRA will provide Agricultural Inputs for the Irrigated forage/fodder production cooperative. Including (Forage seed (Sudan grass), Land preparation support, Agricultural Hand tools, Fuel for irrigation, pest-cides and one pump each. ADRA will link them with the government settlement villages in Gode Woreda riverine.
ADRA will Train200 Beneficiary HHs also 12 DAs, 4 Irrigation Experts and 4Forage Experts of Gode Woreda to support the forage production intervention. During this period ADRA will Cover this team per diums.
Animal Health Intervention will target to 1,600 HHs for each 2 cattle across the 4 woredas (2 kebeles in each woreda and 200 HH in each kebele). This means 200 HHs * 2 kebeles = 400HHs /per woreda* 4 woredas = Total of 1,600 HHs * 2cattle/HH, a total of 3,200 cattle will be supported through the animal health service. In addition, 50,000 Animals will be supported with vaccination owned by approximately 5,000 HHs.
Also ADRA will train 20 Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs) across the 4 woredas for 7 days. In addition ADRA will provide the necessary veterinary Kit of (Drugs and tools) for the trained 20 (CAHWs). And ADRA will link them with private veterinary pharmacy (1 in each woreda) after Establishment.
LEGs training for 7 days will organize by ADRA for both ADRA staff and the Local Gov’t (4 persons in each woreda * 4 woredas).
ADRA will purchase the needed veterinary drugs for 20 (CAHWs) and 4 private veterinary pharmacy.
ADRA will use Voucher system based Animal Health Intervention while producing/printing and distributing the Vouchers to the 1,600 HHs Beneficiaries across the 4 woredas (2 kebeles in each woreda and 200 HH in each kebele) One Voucher/month per HH for 6 months.

Emergency Agriculture Interventions for Returnees/IDPs in four Woredas of Gedeo and West Guji Zones
The objective of this 6-month intervention is to contribute to the restoration of resilient livelihoods for 3,000 returnees and IDP households of Kochore and Yirgachefe Woredas in Gedeo and Kercha and Bulehora Woredas in Guji. This submission is part of the EHF reserve allocation to address the recovery needs of returnees/IDPs. WVE’s specific contribution to this effort targets 3,000 households in 4 Woredas in which all these households are hoping to re-start their livelihoods. An estimated 30% of the beneficiaries will be women-headed households.
Type of interventions for this project were prioritized with significant input from the Woreda and Zone governments. Shared Woredas will be divided between NGOs at the Kebele level and will be managed through individual agreements. The needs in WVE’s application for Kercha and Bulehora represent unique, non-overlapping beneficiary populations with the interventions however we will split Kebeles in Kochore and Yirgachefe with Mothers and Children Multisectoral Development Organisation (MCMDO).
WVE’s proposed interventions are in line with the objective of this round, allocation multi-sectoral plan that focuses on humanitarian assistance with elements of recovery, specifically through provision of short-term seeds appropriate for planting within the reminder seasonal window and protection of core-breeding livestock (animal health/treatment).

Emergency WASH and ESNFI response for Conflict-Displaced Communities in Gedeo and West Guji Zones.
The project will respond to the critical WASH, shelter and NFI needs among vulnerable groups and communities affected by the recent conflict and displacement in four Woredas of West Guji and Gedeo Zones: Abaya, Gelana, Dilla Town, and Yirga Chefe.
GOAL’s proposed set of activities will include integrated life-saving and life-enhancing interventions that consist of a distribution of emergency shelter and NFIs (including WASH NFIs) or one-off unconditional cash distributions to prioritized households, hygiene and sanitation promotion training activities and awareness raising, emergency latrine construction and provision of water tanks (to support water trucking provided by other actors) at IDP sites, and procurement and distribution of WASH NFIs. The response will be tailored to each Woreda context to ensure a holistic set of shelter/NFI/cash and WASH activities that will complement the nutrition and health response that GOAL will provide under a separate grant. The exact locations of activities may change depending on the direction by the EOC during project implementation. Protection elements will be mainstreamed throughout the response, including psycho-social assessments to identify IDPs with specific psycho-social and mental health needs, referrals to appropriate actors, or counselling as relevant.
Ad-hoc support to improve the living conditions of the IDPs will also be provided, by supporting the Zonal and Woreda administrations with the transportation of NFIs (including water chemicals) or food to camps, construction of external kitchens at congested collective centers and so on, where required.
The ESNFI and cash response will be targeted to reach the most vulnerable households, while the WASH response will aim to reach the majority IDPs living in IDP camps or collective centers in the targeted Woredas.
ESNFI – Dilla Town and Yirga Chefe Woredas
GOAL has discussed with the ESNFI Cluster and expects to receive an allocation of ESNFI kits as a donation-in-kind to support our proposed response. As most ESNFI needs in Abaya are planned to be covered by the NDRMC, GOAL will likely only target Yirga Chefe and Dilla Town for the ESNFI Response. Ultimately this will depend on the needs and direction from the authorities and Emergency Operations Centre. GOAL expects to receive the kits as a donation-in-kind from IOM and will carry out the distributions with existing funding - not charged to this grant. In Dilla Town and Yirga Chefe the response will be in-kind only, in accordance with the recommendations from the Cluster, CWG and authorities.
ESNFI – Gelana Woreda
In Gelana Woreda GOAL will implement an ESNFI response using a cash transfer. Zonal and Woreda level government have recommended cash based or combination of cash and in-kind assistance. GOAL will target 1,600 households for a one-off cash transfer of 3,500 ETB, based on the recommendation from the Cash Working Group and Cluster. GOAL expects to reach all remaining IDP households in Gelana, who have not previously received support, with a cash intervention through this EHF grant
WASH – Abaya, Dilla Town, Yirga-Chefe, Gelana.
The WASH response will target all four Woredas activities will be context-specific depending on the location and requirements within each camp. GOAL expects to work in 3 sites in Abaya, 5 in Dilla, 5 in Yirga Chefe and 6 in Gelana. All are outlined in Annex 1. We will coordinate with People in Need, and World Vision who are operational in Yirga Chefe, and Gelana respectively to ensure a complementary response and no overlap. Different IDP sites will be targeted by each organisation - described in Annex 1 attached.
The ESNFI kits from IOM are expected to include WASH NFIs (soap and jerry cans).
With this EHF funding, GOAL aims to target:
1,600 HH with one-off cash distributions.
An estimated 76,500 individuals through WASH activities - including hygiene promotion, sanitation, water tanks, and WASH NFIs

Emergency nutrition specific and WASH sensitive response for IDPs and host community in Birbirsa Kojowa and Bule Hora Zuria districts of West Guji Zone, Oromia Region.
Owing to the worsening situation in West Guji Zone secondary to increased number of IDP, Plan International Ethiopia (PIE) propose this emergency Nutrition response project as an extension of the current ongoing Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM-E) funded by OCHA/EHF and integrated multi-sectorial projects in other districts of West Guji Zone. This project proposed to meet the urgent nutritional and WaSH NFI need of IDP and their host communities in Birbirsa Kojowa and Bule Hora Zuria Districts.
The proposed project aims to contribute to the reduction of mortality and morbidity among IDP and host communities (children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW)) through strengthening and expanding geographic coverage of integrated Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM), including Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF-E) (Nutrition) and WaSH NFI responses.
This intervention will prioritize the prevention of and early treatment of acute malnutrition among IDPs in particular and host communities in general by supporting local health systems in Birbirsa Kojowa and Bule Hora Zuria districts of West Guji Zone, Oromia Region. Activities will focus on enhancing the quality of nutrition services and ensuring the availability of Severely Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderately Acute Malnutrition (MAM) treatment supplies at all level with giving emphasis on mobile clinics at IDP camps and health facilities. In both proposed districts logistic and technical support to Health Workers (HWs) and Health Extension Workers (HEWs) will be provided during regular MUAC screening, and in parallel, awareness of acute malnutrition and IYCF among IDP and the host community will be raised. Furthermore, IYCF-E will be reinforced, integrated and implemented with CMAM at all level. Under this project among IDPs and host communities, children under 5 and PLW will benefit from overall CMAM services, and complementary hygiene and sanitation activities including the distribution of water treatment chemicals, laundry soap and water container (jerry cans).
38 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) and 8 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened through technical and logistic supports. Moreover, they will be further strengthened by furnishing with essential CMAM supplies as required. Moreover, various modalities (nutrition and education sessions, support groups, and community mobilization) will be utilized to create awareness on the importance of taking children to the nutrition centers for monitoring or treatment, regardless of their gender. Health and nutrition education campaigns will be tailored for both male and female caretakers, with a strong emphasis on men’s involvement in child caring practices. Community awareness activities will cover both men and women to ensure practical applications are carried out at the household level among IDPs and their host communities.
Gender will be mainstreamed and gender concerns will be further analyzed during the project’s implementation period. Appropriate measures will be considered for gender equality and ensuring that women benefit. This will include: specifically targeting women for some of the activities (PLW-specific activities like TSFP for MAM PLW) and ensuring equal involvement of boys’ and girls’ participation in other activities (community mobilization sessions, screening, TSFP admission, OTP and SC referral linkage and case management, and capacity building supports). The distribution centers will be made more accessible to target beneficiaries among IDP and host communities to minimize the risk of GBV. Child protection is a core value of the project. All training activities will include a child protection sensitive topics.
Therefore, this emergency response project is planned to support IDP and their host communities on basic lifesaving nutrition and WaSH NFI needs that are not covered by the ongoing PIE response, Government and other keen partners.

Livelihood-Based drought response project in Aba’ala, Erebti, Ada’ar and Telalak woredas of Afar regional state
In response to the second round Ethiopia Humanitarian Fund (EHF) call to submit expression of interest (EOI)to target the 2 Million USD allocated for the Agriculture Sector and respond to major priorities, VSF Germany submitted its EOI which was was selected by the vetting team. Further, as per the request of the vetting team, VSF Germany submits this proposal to address the immediate livelihoods needs in four woredas of Afar regional state. The proposal is designed to respond to critical humanitarian response priorities and funding gaps that were agreed upon and presented in the Humanitarian Prioritization Document for 2018 published on 24 May 2018. The project targeted four drought affected woredas (Aba’ala and Erebti Zone 2, Ada’ar of Zone 1 and Telalak of zone 5) which are prioritized by agriculture cluster as well as the advice of the agricultural cluster coordination team. The priority woredas were also selected based on VSF Germany’s field staff communication with the respective zonal and woreda officials. The proposed interventions, livestock feeding and animal health activities, are linked with the first pillar of HDRP which is prevention and mitigation and more specifically address the strategic Objective 1: to save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity considered and (2) To protect and restore livelihoods. Further, as per the ATF's prioritization note for Afar region (Zone 1, 2, 3 and 5), provision of animal health services and provision of feed for core breeding animals are the prioritized interventions. Therefore, this project will provide livestock feed and animal health (treatment and vaccination) service for selected households in four woredas to protect livestock assets by reduction of mortality and improve their productivity.
To achieve this, the project targeted 1,800 households for voucher based animal treatment and 1,900 HHs will also receive animal feed to feed a total of 9,500 sheep and goats. It is assumed that each household will receive feed for 5 breeding goats which will allows them to feed for 66 days. Further to this, the project will provide support during vaccination campaign and a total of 180,000 animals owned by 7,200 HHs will be vaccinated.

WASH Emergency Response in Chinakson and Gursum Woredas of East Harraghe Zone, Oromia Region
The WASH Emergency Response in East Hararghe will target populations affected by twin crises of drought and IDP displacement due to civil conflict. The drought is part of a long-term trend in the region that is witnessing more frequent and longer duration droughts, due to climate change and decreasing rainfall. The high level of dependency on shallow groundwater is resulting in water system failure and overuse of sustainable deep groundwater resources. The civil conflict has resulted in complex movements of Somali and Oromia people with some destruction of basic infrastructure in borderland communities. The influx of IDPs has increase the stress on operating water facilities and increased problems with environmental sanitation, particular excreta management putting hosts and IDPs at elevated risk of infectious acute watery diarrhea. Across the 20 woread of East Hararghe 21,734 households have been displaced.
The project will target 16,646 vulnerable IDP and host communities in 2 woreda of East Hararghe (Chinksen and Gursum) in locations where CRS/HCS is currently active on USAID fund DFSA program. CRS/HCS has already intervened with food security and education projects for the same populations and is designing a temporary shelter project in Chinaksen.
The project will improve access to water supply, improve environmental sanitation and hygiene behaviors for at risk populations through a project that engages with woreda officials, local leadership and mobiles the health Development Army and Health Extension Workers.
The project aims to drill new boreholes to replace the existing nonfunctional wells. Three for Chinakson Woreda at Mekanisa Oromo, Tiro Sendare and at Chirile IDP sites. These boreholes were serving 11,646 communities and due to overload (over exploitation) and complete their design period, the boreholes are nonfunctional now. Similarly, the IDPs in Gursum Woreda are suffering with shortage of water at Areda Ibsa kebele. All infrastructure and pipe system was in place and the drilled borehole was nonfunctional due to some technical problem. As all water system are in place only drilling of one borehole is required. With this a total 5000 people will have access to drinking water.
It is their first priority for the zonal and Woreda administrations to replace these boreholes for the continuous supply of water through existing system. The drilling will be accompanied by WASHCo refreshing training on management skills.
As part of a hygiene promotion campaign the WASH response will raise general awareness of 16,646 individuals through campaigns and some strategic hygiene promotion events. Targeted distribution of point of use water treatment chemicals and hygiene kits (soap/jerry cans) will go to families that are dependent most at risk of AWD due to their water source and excreta management facilities. The hygiene promotion campaign and distributions will be implemented through the HDA/HEW network.
Targeted activities on temporary latrine construction will take place in priority locations, such as high concentration points of IDPs. In locations where latrines exist CRS/HCS will conduct service improvement tasks such as minor repairs as well as establishing latrine management committees. The sanitation will be conducted with the support of local officials and leadership of IDP groups.

Emergency Lifesaving WASH intervention for the conflict displaced IDPs in Tuliguled woreda of Fafan zone, somali Region.
Due to three consecutive failed rainy seasons, an acute drought continues to affect the Somali region, exposing pastoral communities to critical forage, lack of access to basic food, loss of reduction of livelihood assets and livelihood opportunities, affordable market products and safe water, causing immense malnutrition, and severe livestock emaciation and mortality rates. According to the 2018 Humanitarian Response Document released early March 2018, 7.8 million people are food insecure in Ethiopia and 8.49 million in need of non-food assistance. Out of these, 1.79 million food insecure people (or 23%) and 2.59 million people (or 30.5%) in need of non-food support are in Somali region, which clearly illustrates the impact of the drought in the Somali region. In addition, a huge number of people are internally displaced in the region due to the drought, looking for support and establishing themselves in sites to receive the support they need to subsist. The Somali region is currently hosting 818,250 Internally Displaced (IDPs) in 331 sites. These people are likely to remain displaced as the humanitarian needs are expected to remain significant, particularly in parts of the south-eastern lowland areas of the Somali region.
In addition to drought, tensions between Somali and Oromo communities and conflict along the border has displaced around 1.070 million IDPs, who are currently residing in 439 IDPs sites in Ethiopia (11th round DTM). While some of these displacements date back to 2012, the vast majority occurred in 2017. The conflict IDPs are hosted in 601 sites in Oromia and Somali regions. Those displaced from across regions are mainly hosted in transit or collective centers, while those displaced within a region are settled along border areas (OCHA, June 2018). More people have been displaced by conflict along the Somali-Oromia regional boundary since DTM 10. According to recent Multi-Cluster Initial Rapid Assessment report (19 June 2018), conflict IDPs in the border between Jinacsen (Oromia Region) and Tuliguled Woreda (Somali Region) caused new displacement of 4,193 families, who are currently residing in Gabo-gabo Kabele of Tuliguled Woreda. Since the displacement, the IDPs are residing in six different sub-kabeles within Gabogabo with varying needS: food and water shortage, next to zone latrine coverage with high prevalence of open defecation, limited access to schools and health facilities and separation of children from their caregivers are challenging the IDPs and adjutant host communities to live a human life.
As per the sectors/interventions outlined in the Allocation Paper, Oxfam is proposing to assist the conflict induced IDPs and catchment host communities in Tuliguled woreda through lifesaving WASH response, with gender and protection as key cross-cutting theme. Interventions proposed are highly aligned with Allocation Paper of EHF: (a) provision of water supply to alternatives to water trucking – Oxfam is proposing for rehabilitation of existing ground water sources, by increase the performances and outreach of the targeted schemes, to ensure continuous access to safe water (b) Installation of sanitation facilities – to restore dignity, reduce risks and meet the immediate sanitation needs of the affected population and (c) Hygiene promotion including WASH NFIs – to meet the immediate needs while influencing for safe hygiene practices of the targeted communities.
Gender and Protection mainstreaming will be at the heart of this project as all the interventions proposed consider the differential risk and vulnerability exposure of targeted women and girl IDPs.

Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) in two woredas of Sitti zone of Ethiopian Somali and two woredas in West Haraghe zone of Oromia region
In Ethiopian Somali region Sitti zone is targeted by the proposed project. Sitti zone has a total population of 546,168 and the project targets two woredas Afder and Meisso woredas with a total population of 176,479.
In Oromia West Hararge zone of Oromia region, Hawi Gudina and Gumbi Bordode woredas with a total population of 206,937 people are targeted.
Three targeted woredas have been classified as P1 based on June 2018 Belg/Gu assessment. Back to back droughts lead to severe food security situation that together with acute water shortage leads to outbreaks, increased malnutrition and illness. This project will facilitate access of drought affected vulnerable population to basic health and nutrition service through the establishment of four mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in the four targeted woredas. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 46,152 people benefited from the consultations, routine vaccination, MCH care, supplementary feeding (MAM) and MAM without complication care and monthly nutrition screening. The MHNTs are also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and HMIS (monthly) on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks, and when needed to undertake together with the Zonal RRTs outbreak investigation for the confirmation of outbreaks and initiation of rapid response supporting the control of diseases spread in the most remote and underserved communities.The continuation/maintaining presence of 4 MHNTs in West Hararage zone Hawi Gudina and Gumbi Bordode woreda and Sitti zone, Afdem and Miesso woredas will be extended for the period of five months to cover the immediate emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality caused by drought and outbreaks.

Child Protection Response to Most Vulnerable Internally Displaced Children and their Families in Gedeb and Bule woredas of Gedeo Zone – SNNP Region
Renewed violence along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji zones since early June 2018 has led to the displacement of 793,094 IDPs in Gedeo zone of SNNPR region and 176,098 IDPs in West Guji zone of Oromia region. A large number of IDPs in Gedeo and West Guji zones are living in collective centers, schools and places of worship in overcrowded conditions. This has generated serious protection concerns and risks. Therefore, recognizing the urgent existing problems, Save the Children proposes six-month protection project to be implemented in fifteen IDP sites of Bule and Gedeb woredas of Gedio Zone with a total budget of 369,687.17 USD. The project aims to assure boys and girls right to protection through comprehensive psychosocial intervention. The project will directly target children 11,880 G= 7000, B= 4880 and 9,376 adults (F= 5258M =4418) through comprehensive protection activities. Under the proposed project, Save the Children will establish child friendly spaces to provide safe play and recreational environment. This project will also facilitate access to comprehensive psychosocial services for boys and girls and care providers in distress through provision of Psychological First Aid (PFA) by establishing structured psychosocial support groups among care providers, and referral and coordination mechanisms for psychosocial support in close consultation with governmental and other service providers in the area. It will also raise awareness on violence against children including sexual and gender based violence among girls, boys, women and men through mass community sensitization and awareness raising session, facilitating peer to peer education program among children of different age groups and disseminating user friendly IEC materials. Further, Save the Children will provide information about available services to IDPs in the targeted IDP sites. Additionally, this project will also establish and strengthen community-based child protection structures in each targeted camps to identify, report and respond to child abuse, violence and exploitation in the camps. It will also establish/initiate case management systems among service providers to respond to cases of violence including SGBV and provide dignity kits for reproductive age girls.

Emergency WASH response for internally displaced people (IDP) in Kersadula and Deka Seftu Woredas of Liben zone in Somali Region, Ethiopia
The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency WASH activities to improve the acute drinking water shortage and poor sanitation coverage faced by conflict induced Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) hosted in Liben Zone, Somali region. In Kersa Dula woreda (6 Kebeles: Daru Selam, Hargessa, Semale, Jimba, Jirma and Towfiq), the project will respond only to immediate sanitation needs as per the WASH Cluster prioritisation. In neighboring Deka Seftu woreda, (3 Kebeles: Horsed, Baradias, Galun), where there are critical water and sanitation needs, IDPs will receive both sanitation interventions, water trucking and water system rehabilitation where possible. The IDPs are increasingly vulnerable to water borne diseases due to extremely poor levels of sanitation and a lack of awareness of basic hygiene practices. If these critical needs are not addressed in an efficient and timely manner, there is a high likelihood that this will lead to a deterioration of their health status.
To address these critical needs the proposed project will construct sex segregated communal latrines with hand washing facilities and latrine attendants will be hired for cleansing purposes at each of the targeted IDP sites across the two woredas. Moreover, latrine attendants will take care of the functionality of hand washing facilities and, in coordination with outreach workers, will work to ensure that the users are washing their hands after using latrines. Currently there are no latrines and open defecation is widely practiced. These latrines will provide a safe method for beneficiaries to manage excreta disposal. To ensure beneficiaries have a clear understanding and raised awareness of the risks of open defecation and poor hygiene practices, this activity will be accompanied with hygiene promotion activities. The hygiene promotion activities will focus on raising awareness on the importance of using latrines and of safe hand washing practices to prevent the spread of disease. Additionally in Deka Seftu woreda, emergency water trucking activities will be implemented to meet the immediate drinking water needs of the IDP population and hygiene promotion sessions will be conducted at water distribution points. Where possible, rehabilitation work will take place to facilitate longer-term access to water.
These activities will contribute significantly to the overall objective of the project ‘to ensure that appropriate sanitation facilities are available to facilitate excreta disposal and waste management, to raise awareness and knowledge of basic hygiene practices to reduce the risk of disease outbreaks, and to meet the immediate drinking water needs of conflict induced IDPs.’

Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) assistance to vulnerable children and their families affected by the inter-communal conflict in Abaya and Hambala Wamana Woredas of Guji Zone – Oromia Region
The unprecedented inter-communal conflict in Gedo and West Guji zones created surge of internal displacement, which at its height displaced some 818,000 people. According to DMT Round 12, there are 603,703 IDPs in both zones. IDPs continue to return to their areas of origin, but there are still many in collective sites. There is also a threat of secondary displacement in the region, until peace and reconciliation efforts lead to durable solutions and an easing of tensions between communities. In conditions where IDPs remain in their areas of return, substantive assistance will continue to be required, as many of the returning IDPs are faced with destroyed homes, fallow fields, loss of livelihoods, and ongoing protection concerns. To meet the urgent humanitarian needs and provide emergency WASH services to these IDPs, an allocation of $ 1.5 million is dedicated to respond to the Guji and Gedeo displacement to address the increasing protection concerns particularly in the areas of return.
The project has been designed in line with the Guji zone response plan document and Water Bureau Master Database and the proposed activities are part of the WASH cluster and EOC priority. The project will capacitate the government offices through supply of generator and submersible pump to increase access to safe water facilities to the returnees living in 10 IDP sites of Abaya and Hambala Wamana woredas of Guji zone. The project will further provide increased access to WASH NFIs including dignity kit, distribution of water treatment chemicals for returnees and Conducting hygiene promotion activities to reduce health hazards and mitigate illness and diseases transmission. The action further proposes awareness training on promotion aspect, aiming to ensure that already vulnerable communities are not put at risk of water borne diseases, including AWD. Hence, the project aligns with the cluster level priority to ‘Save lives by responding to emergencies through improved coordination at all levels, to deliver water, sanitation and hygiene promotion assistance to affected populations’.
Save the Children plans to reach 27,156 individuals (F=13,307 amp M=13,849) in 10 IDP sites, through conducting hygiene promotion message with a focus on proper hand washing with soap (HWWS), safe waste and excreta disposal and HH Water Treatment and safe Storage (HWTS). Of the total targeted beneficiaries, 1,358 families will receive hygiene and dignity kit. Additionally, the two woredas will be capacitated through the supply of pump and generator to increase access to sustainable water for the returnees and host communities.

Livelihood recovery support for returnees in Gedeb Woreda (Gedeo Zone of SNNP region) and Gelana Abaya Woredas (West Guji Zone of Oromia Region)
Due to the recent conflict between Gedio and Guji Zones, large number of households had been displaced from their place of residence. The conflict resulted in destruction of homes, crops and livestock in both zones leaving many destitute. The mid-year review and recent reports from the EOC’s based in Bule Hora and Dilla revealed that IDPs have started to return back to their previous area of residence. Still there is higher need of humanitarian assistance required to sustain the lives and livelihoods of the returnees and most vulnerable households in both locations until they are able to provide for themselves. The most vulnerable households (particularly women and child headed families) are the worst affected groups who are in need of significant livelihoods support.
Inadequate crop seed supply and livestock are the major problems identified in the targeted locations. Provision of agricultural implements along with crop seed supply as well as restocking of core livestock breeds for households who have lost their livestock is thus identified as key intervention area in this project. Assessments also show that there is a higher need for veterinary services in the targeted locations for those who have remaining livestock and those who will receive conditional cash grant for restocking. Hence, Save the Children designed this project with the aim of restoring and preventing further deterioration of food security and livelihoods for the most vulnerable households in the targeted areas. The project targets both returnees and host communities in the selected woredas. Through this EHF fund allocation, Save the Children will implement animal health services through voucher systems, restocking through conditional cash transfer via bank systems and crop production through provision of early maturing crop seeds.
Promote and strengthen resilience of local community through provision of early maturing crop seeds: Crop seeds are one of the basic inputs in crop production which are not readily available and accessible for smallholder farm households in the aftermath of humanitarian crisis. This project targets to support access to short term maturing crop seeds that are adaptable to the local climate and environment. Targeted households will receive training on improved agronomics practices and techniques in crop production and management to improve their resilience capacities and coping strategies. Through this activity, Save the Children intends to enhance food security, livelihoods and resilience.
Provision of farm implements and restocking through conditional cash transfer via bank systems: In addition to provision of agricultural inputs, this project proposes to provide conditional cash grants to target beneficiaries in order to procure small ruminants (sheep and goats) to supplement and sustain their livelihoods and purchase farm tools. Complementing this activity, Save the Children will be providing voucher based animal health services which is a key factor in increasing livestock production and productivity as healthy animals are more productive. Targeted households for this activity will be selected by committees (local authorities, community representatives, the elderly, women representatives and other key stakeholders). Each household recipient will then be given vouchers that will enable them to contract the services to the respective CAHWS and be able to pay for the services they will receive. Through this services, beneficiaries will be able to get health service/treatment for their livestock. The animal health intervention planned under this project will greatly supplement the food production and improve milk production which will in turn play crucial role in improving the nutritional status of children and their families.

Livelihood Based Emergency Response in four districts of Afar region
This project proposal is submitted by VSF Germany after selected by agriculture cluster following criteria set by cluster as well as Afar regional government recommendation. The proposal designed as per strategic objectives developed to guide humanitarian action in 2018. These three mutually-reinforcing strategic objectives includes To save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurityTo protect and restore livelihoods to prepare for and response to other humanitarian shocks – natural disaster, conflict and displacement. This project contributes to the two strategic objectives (save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity as well as protecting and restore livelihoods). The project targeted 4 drought affected districts (Bidu, Elidar, Chifera and Asayita) which are prioritized by agriculture cluster as well as regional government of Afar. The thematic areas of the project are provision voucher based animal health service and livestock feeding. Therefore this project will provide livestock feed and animal health service to selected households in four woreda to protect core-breeding animals. To attain this, the project targeted 3700households for voucher based animal treatment, out of these, 1800 HHs will also receive animal feed to feed a total of 10800 sheep and goats. It is assumed that each household will receive feed for 6 breeding goats which will allows them to feed for 66days. Further to this, the project will provide support during vaccination campaign and a total of 180,750 animals owned by 7230 HHs will be vaccinated.

Strengthening Quality of Care in Stabilization Centers for Gedeo-West Guji IDPs and Returnees
The recent conflict that emerged in Gedeo zone, SNNPR and West Guji, Oromia since June 2018 resulted into the displacement of over 815,000 persons. As a consequence, food insecurity, poor hygiene and sanitation conditions and an increase in communicable diseases predisposed the children under five and pregnant and lactating women to acute malnutrition. The government and humanitarian actors responded to the needs of the displaced population and in addition initiated peace building strategies among the people from Gedeo and West guji. In August 2018, following extensive peace and reconciliation efforts related to the Gedeo/West Guji conflict, the government began to facilitate the return of IDPs from the areas of displacement back to their kebeles of origin. Despite the return efforts many of the displaced are affected by damaged or destroyed houses, loss of livestock and a missed planting season and as a result many of the returnees are living in collective centers in their woredas or kebeles of origin because they were not able to move back to their homes. Predisposition to acquiring acute malnutrition are still high due to the food insecurity as the returnees have not had the opportunity to cultivate, further more, this is the lean season in this region hence there is likelihood for increased cases of acute malnutrition among the under fives and the the pregnant and lactating women among both the IDPs, returnees and the host communities. According to estimates from the Emergency Operating Centers in Gedeo and West Guji there are now 294,565 IDP/Returnees (and 979,323 in the host community at risk) in West Guji and 145,856 IDPs still in Gedeo (with 1,165,796 host community at risk) and so after the return the community at risk is now approximately 50% in each zone.
The project will aims to strengthen the management of severe acute malnutrition in stabilization centers in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West guji zone (Oromia) to avert avoidable mortality through building of capacity of health care workers through training and on-site mentor ship with focus on the attending physicians, night shift health workers and strengthening infant and young child feeding practices and counselling among the same health care workers. In addition, the project will provide essential medicines for the treatment of infections and other diseases associated with the malnutrition, life saving medical equipment for the severe medical complications.

Emergency Shelter and NFI Response for Conflict-Displaced Communities
This project responds to the emergency shelter and NFI needs among communities displaced as a result of the Gedeo/Guji ethnic conflict. The project will target communities identified as in need of ESNFI support who may consist of one or all of the following: those who are still displaced and living in IDP camps / among host communities, those who have returned and have become ‘re-displaced’ in their areas of origin, and those who have returned to their homes in need of ESNFI support. Targets will be identified based on needs, and humanitarian assistance will be impartial.
The project will most likely focus on West Guji Zone, which has received a large influx of returnees and ‘re-IDPs’ in the recent weeks. However GOAL will be flexible to implement in Gedeo Zone also if needs and gaps are identified. This will be discussed and agreed with OCHA and the Cluster in advance. Exact locations and Woredas will be identified during implementation in discussions with the EOC and shelter cluster at field level, in accordance with the prioritized locations and needs. As recommended by the ESNFI Cluster Head, the proposal has been written in a flexible manner.
Responses in all locations will be coordinated to ensure the most vulnerable are reached, and that there is no overlap with other actors.
The response will employ an in-kind or cash modality, depending on the location and appropriate modality. The expectation at present is that an in-kind ESNFI modality will be employed in West Guji Zone, as cash is currently not considered appropriate for most of the Woredas in these locations. A cash modality may become appropriate during implementation and thus the exact response modality will be determined during implementation in conjunction with the local authorities, EOC, and ESNFI Cluster.
An estimated 3050 households are expected to be reached. It should be noted that GOAL may be directed to split the ESNFI kits in order to reach more households, or to provide partial kits or 'top-up' cash to those who previously received partial NFI kits. If this is the case more households will be reached and GOAL will report on actual beneficiaries reached at reporting stage.
The proposal is designed to be as flexible as possible in order to respond in a flexible and timely manner to the needs. The expected impact is that at least 3060 households' ESNFI needs (including items required for shelter, bedding, water storage, cooking and hygiene) will be reached which will help prevent morbidity and mortality (especially from cold weather) and provide a level of dignity to these vulnerable households who have lost the majority of their assets, and suffered severe psychological trauma as a result of conflict and displacement.

Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) in Kercha and Hambala Wamana woredas of West Gujji Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia.
In Oromia Region, West Guji Zones are targeted by the proposed project. West Guji zone has a total population of 1,273,888 Host communities and More than 332,071 IDPs/returnees. The project targets two woredas in West Guji zone, Kercha and Hambela Wamena woredas with a total population of 342,204 Host communities and 187,388 IDPs/Returnees.
Border conflict lead to severe food insecurity situation that together with acute water shortage predispose the communities to outbreaks, increased malnutrition and illness. This project will facilitate access to conflict IDPs affected population to basic health and nutrition service through the three mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in the two in Kercha and one in Hambala Wamanad woredas. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 60,917 IDPs benefited from the consultations and treatment, routine vaccination, MCH care, SAM without complication care and supplementary feeding for MAM.The MHNTs are also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and HMIS on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks and when needed to undertake together with the Zonal RRTs outbreak investigation for the confirmation of outbreaks and initiation of rapid response supporting for the control of diseases spread in the most remote and under served communities. The continuation of two MHNTs project ( One in Hambala wamana and one in Kercha ) and additional One new MHNT in Kercha woreda in West Guji zone will be implemented for the period of six months to cover the immediate emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality and mortality attributable to conflict IDPs.

Emergency Nutrition Response Project in SNNPR, Dawro Zone, Gena Bossa and Loma Woredas
Dawro Zone is a Zone in the Ethiopian Southern nations, nationality, and peoples’ Region (SNNPR ). It is located about 500 Km southwest of Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia and 275 KM of Hawassa, the capital of SNNPR. Dawro is bordered on the south by Gamo Gofa Zone,on the west by the Konta special Woreda, on the north by the Gojeb River which is defines its boundery with the Oromia Region, on the northeast by Hadiya and Kembata Tembaro Zone. And on the east By wolayita Zone the Omo rivers defines its eastern and southern bounderies. With this project will focus on Dawro zone of two woredas which is highly populated and drought affected woredas of Gena Bosa and Loma.
Gena Bosa Woreda
Gena Bosa is one of the six Woredas in Dawro Zone SNNPR. It consists of 36 kebeles and one Kebele is considered as an urban setting and the population size is 150,068 among this 17,952 children is under five.The distance of the woreda from the capital city of the zone Tercha is around 42 km.
Loma woreda
Loma is one of the Woreda in Dawro Zone of SNNPR. It consists of 40 kebeles and the population size is 140,638 (Dawro Zone, Loma Health Office 2017 G.C). The distance of the woreda from the capital city of the zone-Tercha is around 39km and 600 km from Addis Ababa the capital city of Ethiopia.
MCMDO’s nutrition programme provides preventative and curative responses to moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and severe acute malnutrition (SAM).Its Operational in this woredas with very limited resource, with this project proposal MCMDO is planned to implement CMAM program.
This incorporated community based management of acute malnutrition project will provide support to host communities in underserved areas affected by the drought in Ethiopia, SNNPR, specifically at Dawro Zone of Gena Bossa and Loma woredas within this critical seasonal hunger gap period. The goal of the project is to contribute to the reduction in nutrition related mortality and morbidity, and improves access to high-quality multisectoral lifesaving nutrition interventions for the most vulnerable populations notably under five children and pregnant and lactating women (regardless of their nutritional status) for IYCF-E promotional sessions are conducted with men, women and children. This is accompanied by cooking demonstrations using low-cost, locally available, highly nutritious foods with Health and Nutrition counseling.
In this project, Gender poise balance will be considered when recruiting staff for this specific project and most of the technical support for program will be provided to HEWs who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. Project target numbers are planned by reviewing admission trend in similar months of the previous year and considering the current drought and food insecurity situation exacerbated in the vulnerable community group in the woredas. Due to the current critical seasonal famine gap most of the host communities are critically in search of Food Assistance and clean water supply.
The proposed project will reach
706 of children under five years with Sever Acute Malnutrition
7,068 of children age 6-59 months with Moderate Acute Malnutrition
1,065 moderately malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs)
1,700 women of reproductive age and men will receive maternal and child nutrition education

Emergency Nutrition Response Project in West Guji Zone of Kercha and Hambela Wamena Woredas in Oromia Region
It is remembered that, due to ethnic and border related issues hundreds of thousands of Oromo Region, West Guji Zone communities were displaced due to the conflict with Gedio Zone, SNNPR. Following the influx of IDPs, MCMDO is operational in West Guji Zone Kercha and Hambela Wamena Woredas supporting with CMAM program from the funding source of EHF July allocation. The project will ended up on 31st January, 2019. As Humanitarian point of view, MCMDO strongly recommended to extend the project from February to July, 2019 with tangible justifications. The project will support and provide the life saving nutrition services for under five children and pregnant and lactating women. The targeted Woredas (IDPs) are highly vulnerable communities with who have limited access to nutrition services. The intervention is required to responds and supports the increased needs for early identification and treatment of acute malnutrition with tangible reasons Still the security situation is on and off, Due to the initial conflict the community missed completely the 2018 harvest season production and they are dependant for basic needs especially daily food consumption, The returnee IDPs from Gedeo Zone are still in their Kebele collective centers and security threat restricted community movement for in search of basic needs and aggravating the food insecurity situation in different angles, the Woreda officials are quite new for Emergency nutrition response. Due to this it needs close support to cascade the CMAM program to the health post level to strengthen the OTP role out strategy and life saving intervention, and high number of SAM and MAM admission in the Woredas. MCMDO is strengthening the screening program by using MHN and CMAM team to have routine active case finding especially the Government staff not reach and referral linkage at all levels. MCMDO is also created coordination and collaboration with partners to have referral linkage from Health center to Hospital and from Hospital to Health center. As the Woreda Health Workers are quite new to the response of CMAM intervention MCMDO is currently focusing on close follow up and on job training to deliver quality nutrition services at all levels and gradually will focus on more of system strengthening and supportive supervision.
This project will provide immediate lifesaving assistance in response to food insecurity for IDP and host communities. The project will also link with other government routine health services and partner projects to prevent future relapses. Therefore, the project will create synergies for stronger complementary, integration and sustainability and strengthen CMAM services in the existing facility in a way that will safe guard against malnutrition for vulnerable groups in the future. The project will improve access for life saving critical basic services for highly vulnerable groups, specifically children under five children, Pregnant and Lactating Women. The goal of the project is to contribute reduce mortality and morbidity in related to malnutrition, improves access to lifesaving nutrition interventions for the most vulnerable populations of under five children and pregnant and lactating women, establish/strength multi sectoral coordination for the management and response of malnutrition, increase the awareness of the community on malnutrition regardless of their nutritional status through IYCF-E, and Health and Nutrition counseling for both IDPs and Host Communities.
The proposed project will reach the below estimated beneficiaries
1,972 of children under five years with Sever Acute Malnutrition
8,955 of children age 6-59 months with Moderate Acute Malnutrition
7, 668 moderately malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs)
5,500 women of reproductive age and men

Emergency Health and Nutrition in Oromia Region, Guji Zone, Gumi Eldalo and Liben Woredas
Mercy Corps (MC) proposes to urgently address the urgent and immediate needs of the most vulnerable affected by consecutive droughts , and compounded by the influx of conflict-induced Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs in Sept 2017) in Gumi Eldalo and Liben woredas of Guji Zone, Oromia Region. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and Mortality associated with under-nutrition and increased illnesses due to poor access to primary health care service for the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host communities in the proposed target woredas. Diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria and malnutrition are the main morbidities affecting mainly children amongst these communities
The proposed six month project will address acute malnutrition in children under 5 years of age (CU5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) using the Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) and Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) approaches, as well as providing Mobile Health Service (MHS) to facilitate access to essential primary health care services. Using a comprehensive package approach,the proposed project will also promote hand-washing at critical moments and environmental sanitation to mitigate potential outbreaks of water borne diseases, including acute watery diarrhea (AWD).
MC aims to address both moderate and severe acute malnutrition and reach 11,508 beneficiaries (CU5 and PLW) by implementing the full CMAM continuum of care which includes community mobilization Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) Stabilization Center (SC) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP). The TSFP program will rely on the TSFP commodity availability pipeline from WFP which currently provides for P1 woredas only. Every admitted beneficiary will receive targeted counseling on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) emphasizing infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and personal and household level hygiene. Mobile Health Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) will be deployed to reach the IDP camps and other hard to reach areas in both woredas by providing primary health care services including vaccinations and antenatal care.
The intervention comprises three project outcomes:
1. Nutrition – Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM).
Outcome 1: Improved nutrition capacity to manage severe acute malnutrition (SAM), with and without complications, using Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM)
Outcome 2: Improved capacity to manage moderate malnutrition (MAM) among children 6 – 59 months, pregnant women and lactating mothers with children less than 6 months old
Outcome 3: Increased awareness of community members on the importance of optimal infant and young child feeding and caring practices and other nutrition related topics, as well as hygiene-related behaviors
I. Health
Outcome 1: Diagnosis Consultation and treatment of common diseases with a focus on of child illnesses and maternal and reproductive health services
Beneficiaries who are suffering from common communicable and non – communicable diseases and other illnesses who have no access to health facilities/services will get free of charge treatment and medical consultation at their nearby place.
Outcome 2. Maternal health including ANC, PNC and FP
All pregnant mothers who have no/insufficient access to maternal health services at facility level will get antenatal and postnatal care services plus family planning
Outcome 3. Child health service (IMNCI) to treat common causes of child mortality
Children under 5 who are suffering from common cause of child mortality (most common causes of child mortality (diarrhea, pneumonia, measles, malaria, and malnutrition), illnesses affecting children under 5 and will be treated as per the IMNCI guideline

Accelerated Learning Program for Internally Displaced Children in West Guji Zone woredas of Bule Hora and Birbirssa Kejewa
Inter-communal conflict in Oromia and the SNNP region of Ethiopia has led to internal displacement of an estimated one million people in the two zones in 2018. The government has currently taken steps to return the IDPs to their place of origin. According to the report from IOM ( September 3, 2018) 5,917HHs/30,528 people have been returned from Gedeo zone to West Guji Zone and another 7,218 HH are soon expected to return to West Guji. Returnees from West Guji to Gedeo are estimated to be 1,661HHs/12,226 people and another 40,452 HHs are soon expected to return to Gedeo. This project has prioritized Bule Hora and Birbirssa Kejewa woredas in West Guji zone. The prioritization of the zone and woredas was made as a result of the high number of IDP returnee population in the zone. According to West Guji zone education office and Bule Hora EOC coordination office report (October, 25/2018), the total number of IDP returnee population in Bule Hora Woreda are 45,561 and Birbirssa Kejewa Woreda are also about 25,092. Approximately, nearly half of the IDP population would be the school age children and they need education opportunities of different forms. Besides, the return of the IDPs to their original zones of residence would place West-Guji in a higher priority. More than 800,000 out of a total estimate of one million IDPs have been returning to West-Guji Zone. A large number of IDP returnee population are also coming back to the zone and the assumption is the number of students are significant in number. Since the circumstances have changed, re-prioritization of zone and the woredas are designed and adjusted for this purpose. World Vision proposes to establish an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) for primary school-aged children (aged 7-14) and an Accelerated School Readiness (ASR) program for pre-primary school aged children between 4-6 years old. This will allow the conflict induced IDP children to successfully transition into the next school year.
Capacity building training as well as psychosocial support trainings will be provided to the affected children and teachers. Capacity building trainings include a three-day EiE and conflict sensitive education (CSE) training for teachers, education stakeholders such as PTSA, KETB (Kebele Education Training Board), WEO (Woreda Education Office), Zone Education Office and REB (Regional Education Bureau) a seven days capacity building training on ALP methodology for primary school teachers and cluster center supervisors a three day psychosocial support training for teachers and students a two day capacity building training on GBV (Gender-Based Violence) , gender responsive pedagogies, psychosocial support and prevention of SRGBV to teachers and finally, a three day ToT (training of trainers) training for 60 Master trainers will be provided. The purpose of ToT training for Master Trainers will be to equip trainees with knowhow and enable them to cascade down the trainings to the woreda and school/IDP site levels. The master trainers will also be involved in mentoring and close supervision with the implementation of ASR and ALP programs alongside WV staff. This activity is proposed by the regional education cluster and endorsed by government and partners. The trainees will be from REB, WEO, ZEO, and selected school teachers /school cluster center supervisors.The proposed education emergency response project will have an immediate, comprehensive, and long- term impact in the lives of the targeted IDP children. This project will target 8 IDP sites in their original community in the prioritized two woredas by constructing 10 education cluster proposed standard TLCs and the renovation of partially damaged schools for better teaching and learning processes. Each TLC center will be composed of two classrooms and a total 20 classrooms. About 10 of which will providing ALP (Accelerated Learning Program) and the other 10 will be providing ASR (Accelerated School Readiness) program,

Improving Safety and Access to Services for IDPs in Somali Region
832,652 internally displaced persons (IDPs) identified under the Displacement Tracking Matrix are recorded in Somali region as of March 2018 (IOM DTM Round 9). Just under 500,000 have been displaced by conflict and the rest have been displaced by drought. Of the more than 800,000 IDPs identified in Somali region, some 18% are displaced within Afder and Liben Zones. This intervention will target a total of 16 IDP sites in in Filtu and Deka Suftu Woredas in Liben zone and Bare and Dolobay woredas in Afder zone.
DRC has designed this intervention to enhance the safety, protection and access to appropriate essential services for the most vulnerable IDPs residing in IDP settlements in Liben and Afder zone. Under this intervention, DRC aims to ensure that:
Outcome 1: Enhanced local community capacity to identify and respond to protection issues.
Outcome 2: The most vulnerable IDPs, including women, children, persons with special needs and the elderly, have enhanced access to basic services.
DRC will achieve Outcome 1 by providing technical and training support to IDP communities, to identify and respond to protection risks (Output 1.1). DRC will conduct regular visits to each IDP settlement to map new and developing needs and any gaps in the provision of services to IDPs and work with local duty-bearers to establish the referral pathways for protection cases. DRC will utilize the mapping exercise as a basis for engaging with relevant stakeholders and sectors for extension of services. DRC will facilitate the establishment of community based protection structures where they are not present, and provide capacity building sessions on the identification and response to protection risks. DRC will additionally support the community based protection structures to promote awareness on protection risks, special needs and services available based on key messages produced.
DRC will achieve Outcome 2 by facilitating that protection cases in drought and conflict-affected IDP sites are identified, referred and responded to (Output 2.1) and providing governmental officials, humanitarian workers and other service providers with knowledge and skills to identify, prevent and respond to protection risks across the sectors and services provided to target IDP sites (output 2.2). This will be achieved by the linking up of community-based protection structures to service providers for each IDP site. DRC will accompany these structures to make referrals and/or facilitate the provision of protection services to vulnerable individuals or people at risk. DRC will support local duty-bearers to provide assistance to individuals at risk by providing individual protection assistance for up to 100 cases as required. DRC will address the lack of basic services for the most vulnerable population in close collaboration with the Protection, WASH and Shelter/NFI clusters based on specific vulnerability criteria in consultation with the IDP community. DRC will additionally train government officials, humanitarian workers and service providers on protection concerns, gender, age and disability specific services, Psychological first aid and protection mainstreaming in order to improve the protective environment for the IDPs and the Host communities in the selected areas.

Emergency WASH Response to Support Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Host Communities in Fafan Zone, Somali Regional State
The project proposed here will contribute to the improvement of the health and quality of life among internally displaced people (IDPs) residing in Qoloji 2 IDP site, neighboring Anod host community, as well as smaller IDP sites in Babile woreda of Fafan Zone Somali region through an integrated and protection-sensitive project which will combine the provision of safe drinking water, with the construction of improved sanitation facilities and the promotion of hygiene and sanitation best practices.
Specifically, DRC will contract the drilling and installation of a new borehole in Anod host community, which will deliver safe drinking water to both Anod host community as well as Qoloji 2 IDP site. To allow for efficient coverage of water from the borehole, DRC will furthermore install a pipeline network with water points. DRC WASH and protection staff will collaborate with members from both the host and IDP communities to map and identify the most appropriate and protection-sensitive locations for the installation of tap stands.. Understanding that women and children are the primary users of the water points, DRC will also engage representative from these demographics to better understand their differential needs, concerns and priorities during the design of the facilities. For example, DRC staff will seek to better understand how the primary users cue for access, the most common time of use, the frequency and nature of conflicts that arise around the tap stands, and their ideas on the arrangement, height and number of taps per stand.
In addition to the borehole and tap stands, DRC will construct communal and institutional latrines with accompanying handwashing facilities as a means to increase access to improved sanitation facilities. As with the tap stands, the communities, including women and children, will be consulted as to the placement and design of the facilities. In order to promote best use of the new facilities, DRC will conduct hygiene and sanitation awareness raising initiatives throughout both the host and IDP communities. DRC will seek to collaborate with existing community health volunteers, health post staff, elders, women, and children throughout the campaign.
DRC will directly target 38,211 people from Qoloji 2 IDP camp, 8211 people from smaller IDP sites (Holobiye, Kulmiye and Reerbahay) and 1550 people from Anod host community, thereby aiming to enhance conditions for the most vulnerable groups in each of these areas. Therefore,through the aforementioned interventions, DRC will reach an estimated 47,972 individuals.

Response to natural and man made public health emergencies through provision of essential medicines and medical supplies
Ethiopia was impacted by two years of consecutive drought in 2015/16 as a consequence of the El Niño phenomenon and due to the severe drought conditions there was no recovery and the drought continued in 2017 in lowland, mostly in pastoral areas, rendering hundreds of thousands destitute and displaced. The drought has caused more than 340,000 people to be displaced throughout over 250 sites in Oromia and Somali Regions and the IDP sites with the lack of WASH and health coverage were at higher risk for the AWD outbreak which occurred in 2017.
The AWD outbreak was brought under control in late 2017 through effective leadership by the FMOH and RHBs with technical multi-disciplinary assistance from the UN and NGO partners. However in late September 2017 border conflicts broke out between ethnic Oromos and Somalis which displaced more than 1.1 million people spread out across 370 different new conflict IDP sites. The FMOH and RHBs are overwhelmed with the massive humanitarian needs in providing primary health care services free of charge through temporary clinics and MHNTs.
The presence of almost 1.7 million IDPs (climate and conflict) mainly in Oromia and Somali region has put a significant strain on the RHBs to provide health services to more than 600 IDP sites, many of which are difficult to access. The concentration of IDPs, often in remote areas, with reduced access to WASH, shelter, food and health services creates multiple risks for another outbreak of AWD or other communicable disease, and increased mortality and illnesses. The present proposal aims to support addressing one of the main constraints of most vulnerable communities affected by drought and conflict access to emergency PHC services, medicines and medical supplies availability. The FMOH and the RHBs in affected areas requested support from the humanitarian community in this specific gaps, as at present in Oromia and Somali region there are almost 690,000 IDPs with no or difficult access to affordable health care.
Appropriate treatment of cases will promote the interruption of community transmission of the causative agent. This proposal will support procurement of essential medicines, laboratory supplies and other equipment and logistics to support services to vulnerable drought and conflict affected communities. WHO will provide essential medicines and supplies to fill in some of the present gap due to severe under funding, there is no an effective health pipeline. Through the present EHF allocation, 130 revised EDKs out of the necessary 620 kits (to cover until the end of the year) will be procured to ensure continuity of operation of health partners and support to RHBs until August (avoiding also pipeline break)and distributed to the health partners running MHNTs (46 are at present in stock rupture) and RHBs in Oromia, Somali, SNNPR, Afar. The distribution of supplies will be agreed upon through cluster mechanism and support of technical working groups based on the epidemiological situation development, gap identification and prioritization. At present, medicines for the treatment of about 8,000 cases of severe dehydration are in country and prepositioned in high risk areas medicines for about 6000 additional cases (severe and moderate dehydration) will be procure to complement the contingency stock for AWD. The project will also support the Information Management (IM), data collection, monitoring and quality assurance capacity at zonal hubs.
The procurement will be done at the begining of the project period through a combination of local (faster) and international modalities in two batches. The project period is 8 month to allow the clearance of the international procurement encumbrances in the last 1-2 months.

Rapid Response Mechanism to Public Health Emergencies in 8 high risk regions of Ethiopia
The outbreak response elicited by the El Niño started in 2015 in Addis Ababa and rapidly spread to Somali, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harer, Oromia, SNNPR, and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. The swift surge in the number of cases of AWD in early 2017 with more than 4000/week reported from mid-April to end May brought about significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for saving lives through access to treatment and the control of community spread. By the end of 2017 the outbreak has been brought under control in the most heavily affected Somali, Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray Regions. The resurgence early January 2018 in Dire Dawa and Somali have been also rapidly controlled as a strong early warning and rapid response mechanisms established during the peak of the outbreak, led by PHEM/RNOH/RHB and supported by WHO covered most of at the high risk regions/zones/woredas.
The health determinants and triggering factors for outbreaks remained unchanged, or in some regions degraded further due to additional internal massive displacement. Access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene behaviors, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, large numbers of internally displaced people, on the backdrop of an overburdened local health system creates an impeding risk for AWD and other water borne diseases outbreak resurgence especially in Aug and Sept.
The aim of the project is to support maintaining a strong and rapidly scalable early warning/surveillance and Rapid Response capacities to effectively cover the high risk populations. Immediate investigation, confirmation of alerts and rapid response mechanisms along with improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC) are essential for the control of community spread of diseases with high epidemic potential. WHO epidemiologists, surveillance and environmental health officers will continue to provide technical, information management, and coordination support at regional and zonal level along with logistic and operational support for the Rapid Response Teams of the RHB:
Controlling health threats and outbreaks is a multi-disciplinary (water quality, case management, risk communication, surveillance, IPC) and multi-sectorial (WASH, Nutrition, shelter, logistic) effort , as a front line rapid response to contain the sources of potential outbreaks. The activities are complementing other WHO field programs in coordination with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners’.
The intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and rapid, efficient response and as a result will help to contain the outbreaks locally and keep monitoring the epidemiological trends, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR).

Emergency Nutrition Response for Drought Affected People in Bidu, Megale, Koneba, Korri, Afanbo, and Millie Woredas, Afar Regional State.
The Government of Ethiopia’s January nutrition hotspot classification has identified 463 districts nationwide as priority areas for humanitarian response in 2018, of which 216 are Priority 1 (P 1), 161 Priority 2 (P2) and 86 Priority 3 (P3). Considering the compounded effects that sustained drought since 2 to 3 years back in Afar region as well as the current food insecurity situation and its prospect, TFPs (Target Feeding Programs) admission trend in the target woredas through the coming months is anticipated to be higher than what was reported last year.
Moreover, all these project target woredas being classified as the top priority 1 recently, and therefore, this emergency nutrition response project is designed through active participation, coordination and networking of all key local actors, Government authorities, NGOs and UN Agencies in order to avoid duplication of efforts and wastage of resources, as well as to ensure coordination and alignment with the national strategic response Under Pillar 2 of Ethiopia Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), Plan International will provide SAM amp MAM treatment in the target districts in Afar region. The primary target population of this project are children under five year and PLW(Pregnant and Lactating Women) in the target woredas 5233 PLW with MAM 1724(897girls) under five children with SAM, 8283(4307girls) MAM under five children, of which, around 15% are globally estimated living with some kind of disability. Even if we do not have and/or planned direct interventions for persons with disability and elderlies, the planned training on age and disability inclusion is to enhance the overall awareness about vulnerability of this particular group, and therefore, they are going to benefit from this project indirectly. Under Pillar 1 of HDRP, Plan International Ethiopia (PIE)will provide micro nutrition supplies and routine drugs including Vitamin A, Iron and deworming drugs for district health office. Under Pillar 3 of HDRP, this project will also indirectly address/benefit around 132,075 persons (69,588 female) in the target woredas through providing intensive local capacity building support, such as:
Strengthening Health Extension Workers and Health Workers capacity in managing SAM cases.
Provision of logistical support on basic Community based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) supplies and routine drugs.
Enhance proper hygiene and sanitation as optimal Infant and Young Children Feeding (IYCF) practices for caretakers in the target districts.
Conduct capacity building trainings on: Age and Disability Inclusion in Humanitarian Action the Sphere project approach – Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards.
On top of the routine orientation and refresher trainings, cross-cutting issues focused orientation – Volunteer Food Distribution Agents, Health Extension Workers, Health Workers and PIE’s Field Level Nutrition Workers.
This project also will integrate protection focused local capacity building training, such as age and disability inclusion in humanitarian action, to improve understandings of the needs and capacities of vulnerable persons through collecting evidence on more inclusive practices. Thus, Plan International Ethiopia will ensure that the most vulnerable population groups in the target Woredas not further affected by serious level of acute malnutrition mainly through a full CMAM approach that is Integrated with IYCF-E.
This project is planned for six months from May 15 to Nov 14 2018. The overall project management and coordination will be led by Plan International Ethiopia (PIE) Country Office through its Senior Emergency Response Team (ERT) as well as through its Field Emergency Response Team based at Semera, Afar Region Capital.

Accelerated Learning Program for Internally Displaced Children in West Guji Zone of Kercha and Hambella Wamena woreda.
Intercommunal conflict in Oromia and the SNNP region of Ethiopia has led to internal displacement of an estimated one million people in the two zones in 2018. The government has currently taken steps to return the IDPs to their place of origin. According to the report from IOM ( September 3, 2018) 5,917HHs/30,528 people have been returned from Gedeo zone to West Guji Zone and another 7,218 HH are soon expected to return to West Guji. Returnees from West Guji to Gedeo are estimated to be 1,661HHs/12,226 people and another 40,452 HHs are soon expected to return to Gedeo.
This project has prioritized Kerecha and Hambella Wamena woredas in West Guji zone. The prioritization of the zone and woredas was made as a result of the high number of partially and fully damaged schools in the zone ( 34 schools). The return of the IDPs to their original zones of residence would place West-Guji in a higher priority as the more than 800,000 out of a total estimate of one million IDPs will be returning to West- Guji Zone A large number of IDP returnee population are also coming back to the zone and the assumption is the number of students are significant in number. Since the circumstances have changed, re-prioritization of zone and the woredas are designed and adjusted for this purpose.
Following the cluster prioritized activities as of July 2018, World Vision proposes to establish an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) for primary school-aged children (aged 7-14) and an Accelerated School Readiness (ASR) program for pre-primary school aged children between 4-6 years old.This will allow the conflict induced IDP children to successfully transition into the next school year.
Capacity building training as well as psychosocial support trainings will be provided to the affected children and teachers. Capacity building trainings include a three-day EiE and conflict sensitive education (CSE) training for teachers, education stakeholders such as PTSA, KETB (Kebele Education Training Board), WEO (Woreda Education Office), Zone Education Office and REB (Regional Education Bureau) a seven days capacity building training on ALP methodology for primary school teachers and cluster center supervisors a three day psychosocial support training for teachers and students a two day capacity building training on GBV (Gender Based Violence) , gender responsive pedagogies, psychosocial support and prevention of SRGBV to teachers and finally, a three day ToT ( training of trainers) training for 60 Master trainers will be provided. The purpose of ToT training for Master Trainers will be to equip trainees with knowhow and enable them to cascade down the trainings to the woreda and school/IDP site levels. The master trainers will also be involved in mentoring and close supervision with the implementation of ASR and ALP programs alongside WV staff. This activity is proposed by the regional education cluster and endorsed by government and partners. The trainees will be from REB, WEO, ZEO, and selected school teachers /school cluster centre supervisors. This project will target 8 IDP sites in the prioritized two woredas by constructing 13 cluster standard TLC sites. Each site will be composed of 2 sections/blocks. The proposed education emergency response project will have an immediate, comprehensive, and long term impact in the lives of the targeted IDP children.

Emergency Nutrition Response for Drought affected Two Woredas in Zone-four of Afar Region and Three Woredas in Two Zones of Amhara Region - Ethiopia
The proposed project will provide emergency Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) support to Awura and Teru woredas in Zone-4, Afar region and Angot and Gazo woredas of North Wollo in Amhara region for a period of 6 months. Concern will build the capacity of the Ministry of Health (MoH) through strengthening existing Therapeutic Feeding Program (TFP) services by increasing coverage and quality in addition, zonal level coordination of CMAM services will be enhanced, including improving reporting. The intervention will address high levels of acute malnutrition in the woredas, supporting the treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases and preventing deterioration of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases among children under five years of age (U5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLV).
The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency nutrition services in five Priority 1 Hotspot woredas (three in Afar and two in Amhara). Concern will support the MoH to deliver high quality CMAM services including Outpatient Therapeutic Programs (OTP), Stabilization Centers (SC), and community mobilization through infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) messaging. The project will strengthen the capacity of the targeted woredas in both Afar and Amhara Regional State Health Bureau (RHB) and its subordinate office to manage CMAM and to establish effective community mobilization mechanisms for case detection, referral, follow-up, and promotion of key health-seeking behaviors. The OTP, SC, and community mobilization components will be delivered by the Woreda health Office (WoHO) in order to improve management and treatment of severely malnourished children at health post (HP) level, treatment of severely malnourished children with medical complications at SCs, and community mobilization through more robust outreach by health staff and Health Extension Workers (HEWs). Technical support, including joint monitoring and supervision of OTP/SC and on-the-job training for health workers (HWs) and HEWs, will ensure the quality of the intervention and allow for corrective action when needed. The Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) component, through which screenings, distributions, and on-site IYCF-E services are provided, will be directly supported by Concern in collaboration with the World Food Program (WFP) and WoHO.
Concern will provide MoH staff such as HWs and HEWs with CMAM training in line with national guidelines, and HEWs will also be trained to deliver IYCF-E activities to promote optimal feeding practices. Good hygiene and treatment of drinking water at household level will also be promoted through messaging and via the supply of water treatment chemicals (WTC), and through laundry and body soap being distributed to TSFP beneficiaries.

Enhanced Protection for Vulnerable Children and Women in West Guji zone through strengthened community-based structures, functional multi-purpose Children and Women Friendly spaces, and access to basic services.
This proposal is developed in response to the humanitarian crises in West Gujj zone (Oromia) and Gedeo zone (SNNPR) due to conflict resulting in massive influx of IDPs into various Woredas of Guji zones. In response to the present humanitarian situation, World Vision Ethiopia is proposing the following interventions to enhance protection, resilience and improved access to service for children and women in Kercha ,Gelana, Bule hora, and Abaya ,Woredas of West Guji zone within the project period of six months.
The overall goal of the project is to enhance the protection of children, women, and other people with specials needs. Towards this end, a multi-faceted approach will be used to achieve these major outcomes over the project life time. These are Improving psycho-social well-being of children and women by establishing safe space in eight collective sites amd Developeing knowledge and skills in case management of child abuse and GBV incidents and clinical treatment of GBV cases as well as supporting Government effort in family tracing and reunification.
In order to realize these outcomes relevant project outputs and detail activities have been outlined. Child and women friendly spaces will be established to provide psychosocial support and Psychological First Aid service for children and pregnant and lactating women. The spaces will be established in Eight IDP sites in Gelana Kercha, Bule hora, and Abaya Woredas (two in each). These are kercha town collective site, Bilida kojowa collective sites, Tore Town collective site,Samalo collective site,shara site of host community, Bukisa collective site, Gerba site within the host community, and Bule hora town collective site. The main purpose of the safe space is to provide package of protection services and to facilitate children and women recovery and promote children’s cognitive, physical, social and emotional development. The range of services will contribute towards recovery and restoration of the victims as well as strengthening the community-based protection system including prevention of and responding to child protection concerns and GBV incidents facilitate referral and follow up mechanisms. Through a serious of capacity building and life skills training interventions, the project will boost the resilience of adolescent girls and women in the target sites. Overall, the project will benefit children, adolescent boys and girls, lactating and pregnant women in the Eightsites in the area of knowledge and skills development about child protection and GBV prevention and response mechanism, boosting basic literacy, life skills, mental health/hygiene, reproductive health practices and ensure access to recreational facilities, and the space will provide a private space for breastfeeding and individual counseling. The project will also address the needs of women and girls through provision of dGBV treatment kit for mobile clinics in the Eight IDP sites towards an improved clinical management of rape. The project also aims to address the need of IDP returnees’ protection need and access to basic services through building the capacity of government stake holders and community based structures towards mitigating and responding to protection risk factors.

Livestock Recovery and Drought Mitigation Response in Borena Zone
The proposed project is designed to respond to emergency livestock needs among drought-affected communities in Borena, while also building community resilience to drought.
The project will target pastoral areas of Borena Zone which have been negatively affected by recent drought, through the provision of technical, logistical, and material support to the community animal health system, and provision of supplementary feed for the most vulnerable drought-affected households. In addition the project incorporates a drought preparedness and mitigation strategy, through activities proposed to strengthen fodder production and storage, to minimize pasture shortage and alleviate loss of livestock during the dry season, and ultimately build community resilience to drought.
Activities will be targeted towards protecting core breeding stock, and will consist of:
Logistical and technical support to the annual vaccination campaign
Provision of essential veterinary drugs and equipment for government and Community Animal Health Workers
Strengthening government disease surveillance, controlling and reporting systems
Strengthening the community-based pasture preservation and handling system
Supporting the government fodder bank production system (through ranch and hay making, alternative fodder production, and improved fodder seeds).
Provision of supplementary animal feed as required.
GOAL will target 7 Woredas across Borena Zone, as prioritized by the Zonal authorities – these are likely to include: Arero, Dubluk, Dillo, Dire, Gomole, Wachile and Yabello. During implementation, based on local contextual factors the exact locations to be prioritized will be decided with the local authorities, in the case that other Woredas are more in need of assistance.
The activities planned are designed to reach approximately 10,000 households across the 7 Woredas, benefiting an estimated 52,000 people.
The improved livestock health and body condition are expected to protect or improve the terms of trade and improve milk production levels which will result in improved food security at household level, protected incomes, and protection of the core breeding stock which are the main assets of pastoral households.
The improved knowledge and capacity among community members and Community Animal Health Workers on livestock health activities and fodder production and storage, will have a wider reach and longer-term benefit at community level.
Activities are planned to be conducted over a 6 month period (with a prioritization of the emergency health and feed activities in the initial months of the project). However GOAL has proposed an 8 month implementation period in case of any unrest during the project which would cause potential delays. Staff and overhead allocations have only been charged for 6 months.

Emergency Shelter and NFI Response for Conflict-Displaced Households in Oromiya Region
This project responds to the emergency shelter and NFI needs among conflict-displaced communities in Oromiya Region. The project will target two groups of IDPs: those who were displaced by the Somali-Oromiya conflict which broke out in September 2017.
GOAL will likely target Bale, or East or/and West Hararghe, in areas where we are currently operational and where significant ESNFI gaps have been identified. Exact locations will be identified during implementation in accordance with the prioritized locations and needs - as recommended by the ESNFI Cluster Head, the proposal has been written in a flexible manner.
Responses in all locations will be coordinated to ensure the most vulnerable are reached, and that there is no overlap with other actors.
The response will employ either an in-kind or cash modality, depending on the location or appropriate modality. The expectation at present is that an in-kind ESNFI modality will be employed in Bale Zones, as cash is currently not considered appropriate for most of the Woredas in these locations. And also in kind of a cash modality may be appropriate in East Hararghe. The exact response modality will be determined during implementation in conjunction with the local authorities and ESNFI Cluster.
An estimated 1,286 households are expected to be reached across Oromiya Region.
The proposal is designed to be as flexible as possible in order to respond in a flexible and timely manner to the needs. The expected impact is that at least 1,286 households’ ESNFI needs (including items required for shelter, bedding, water storage, cooking and hygiene) will be reached which will help prevent morbidity and mortality (especially from cold weather) and provide a level of dignity to these vulnerable households who have lost the majority of their assets, and suffered severe psychological trauma as a result of conflict and displacement.

Response to public health emergencies due to conflict and drought through provision of essential medicines and supplies
The outbreak response elicited by the El Niño started in 2015 in Addis Ababa and rapidly spread to Somali, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harer, Oromia, SNNPR, and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. The swift surge in the number of cases of AWD in early 2017 with more than 4000/week reported from mid-April to end May brought about significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for saving lives through access to treatment and the control of community spread. By the end of 2017 the outbreak was brought under control in the most heavily affected regions including Somali, Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray. The resurgence in early January 2018 in Dire Dawa, Somali and Tigray as well as the outbreak in Afar in May were rapidly controlled because the strong early warning and rapid response mechanisms which were established during the peak of the outbreak, led by PHEM/RNOH/RHB and supported by WHO covered most of at the high risk regions/zones/woredas.
The health determinants and triggering factors for outbreaks have remained unchanged, or in some regions degraded further due to additional internal massive displacement. Access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene behaviors, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, large numbers of internally displaced people in the context of an overburdened local health system creates an impeding risk for AWD and other water borne diseases outbreak resurgence especially in Aug and Sept.
The aim of the project is to improve access to health care to effectively cover the high risk populations. Improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC) are essential for the control of community spread of diseases with high epidemic potential. The EHF funding will enable health facilities, temporary clinics and mobile health and nutrition teams to improve access to health care for the next 7 month. Controlling health threats and outbreaks is a multi-disciplinary (water quality, case management, risk communication, surveillance, IPC) and multi-sectorial (WASH, Nutrition, shelter, logistic) effort, as a front line rapid response to contain the sources of potential outbreaks. The activities are complementing other WHO field programs in coordination with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners’. This intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and rapid, efficient response and as a result will help to contain the outbreaks locally and keep monitoring the epidemiological trends, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR). In addition, the project includes procurement of medicines and medical supplies for PHC clinics run by NGOs and RHBs for the IDPs, and some AWD kits, complementing other available resources. Still, even with USD 2,1 received/committed (EHF, CERF) so far, the gap in medicines and medical supplies remains significant at USD 6,4.

Lifesaving Emergency of WASH Response for flooding and Drought Affected IDPs in Two woredas of Shebele Zones
In Somali Region, Ethiopia following the heavy rainfall received in the highlands of Oromia many rivers, including Genale and Wabi Shebelle and related tributaries have over flown, broken the river banks, which caused over flooding covered vast areas in Somali Region. Consequently, flooded water has damaged the already limited water source/infrastructures and Latrines in many Kebeles of Kalafo and Mustahil woredas (P1 category Hotspot), ). According to OCHA flash update May report, Many people’s houses/shelters and livestock have been washed away which caused displacement and homeless people. The damaged latrines and water infrastructures by the recent floods impacted negatively on the availability and access to safe drinking water and also availability of sanitation and hygiene facilities as the flooding affected population are currently drinking water from un-protected sources (rivers and ponds), scarcity of water purification chemicals, practice of open defecation which caused the outbreak of water borne related diseases and the re-emergence of AWD in the three woredas of Kalafo, Mustahil, and Ferfer which have been the epicenter of the recurrent AWD outbreaks in the last couple of months. The following table illustrates WASH facilities damaged by the Shebele river seasonal flooding. People are moved back to their dwellings or villages with no infrastructure, which is destroyed by flooding. ADRA will rehabilitate the WASH infrastructure with allocated budget from OCHA to their flood damaged sites not the evacuation center. According to August Zonal DPPB report where ADRA prioritized the activities and implement accordingly.
In this regard, 26,514 people in Mustahil and 54,366 people in Kelafo are in for Urgent WASH Support in their dwellings. Therefore, ADRA is proposing an emergency WASH project in Kelafo and Mustahil for flooding affected woredas to provide immediate and long-term sustainable and safe water solutions and improving sanitation and hygiene facilities to mitigate public health and nutritional risks through the followings:
1- 16 Hand Dug wells rehabilitation in across seven kebeles in 11 sites (2 Kebhanle site, Dayax site, Goblow Site, Shubo Site, Muse-done, Allow-Igarsi, Niri-Niri site, Dhur-dhere, Dorale, Caga-dhurwa, and Mirdhis) in 2 woredas through Emergency WASH response
2- 44 Multi Family 4 Stance latrine construction with associated hand washing facilities in across 16 sites (2 Kebhanle site, Dayax site, Goblow Site, Shubo Site, Muse-done, Allow-Igarsi, Balanbale, Niri-Niri site, Dhur-dhere, Moyko, Marayle, Dorale, Tun-dhow, Caga-dhurwa, Budul, and Mirdhis) in 2 woredas through Emergency WASH response .
3- Three (3) community-based water management committee training for each water facility rehabilitated.
4- Hygiene promotion activities will focus on providing immediate hygiene information and good hygiene practices linking health and nutrition information, education, communication messages accordingly. There will also be longer-term hygiene promotion activities through training of trainers (TOT) by using Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach.
5- Provision of sanitation tools and equipment, particularly at flooding IDP sites health and education centers.
The proposed project will enable ADRA to build upon on its current Emergency WASH projects in kohle woreda funded by ADRA- Czech and the recently-completed OCHA HRF-funded WASH project in Kohle and God-god woreda in Somali region. The action will also complement the OCHA HRF funded emergency project on livelihood protection , which currently ADRA is implementing in Gode woreda of Shebele Zone of Somali Region of Ethiopia.

Strengthening the response for inpatient management of severe acute malnutrition with medical complications in stabilization centers
The Somali and Oromia regions have been greatly impacted by the prolonged drought with several woredas classified as priority 1. Severe food insecurity with general poor nutrition is resulting into increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements due to internal displacement. Furthermore, SNNPR recently affected by conflict and new displacement in Gedeo zone SNNPR and West Guji.
To further complicate this situation the health system has been weakened due to many of the prolonged emergencies, overwhelming numbers of displaced persons making the delivery of quality static mobile emergency health and nutrition services critical to effective emergency response. The disruption in health and nutrition services continues to compromise the ability of the region to respond. Nutrition screening assessments have shown increasing rates of SAM.
The project will strengthen the 35 referral stabilization centers in Somali, Oromia and SNNP regions of Ethiopia and build capacity of health workers to effectively manage children hospitalized with severe acute malnutrition and medical complications hence improve quality of care and reduce mortality among the children with SAM.

Improve access to primary health and nutrition care services to conflict, drought and flood affected communities in Oromia through health system support and Mobile Health and Nutrition Team (MHNT)
The IRC proposes to continue the implementation of lifesaving primary health care (PHC) and nutrition services through Mobile Health and Nutrition Team (MHNT) work and provision of support to the local health system in Dawe Sere and Lege Hidha of Bale zone and Doba of W. Hararghe zone of Oromia region in response to the continued emergency situation and needs. This will consist of providing technical support to health extension workers and health facility staffs in the areas of emergency primary health care and extending health and nutrition care services to Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and to areas with poor access to health care and nutrition services within the targeted woredas. The project will also strengthen the capacity of target woredas in the areas of outbreak preparedness and timely response.
The IRC will apply the following approaches under this grant:
1. Establishment of MHNTs in each woreda and provide direct PHC and nutrition services to IDPs as well as host communities with poor access to PHC and nutrition services. The IRC team will work closely with the woreda health office, and government health care providers.
2. Provide public health facilities (HFs) in target areas through ongoing mentoring, technical support and transport of medicines, vaccines and supplies from woreda health office/zonal health department/RHB to the HF, support for alerts investigation and reporting, logistic and staff for vaccination, and capacity building of existing HEWs.
Under mobile teams, the IRC will create access to emergency Primary Health Care (PHC) services (general acute illness for adults, child health serves (treatment of common childhood illnesses using IMNCI protocol, routine immunization, vitamin A supplementation, deworming), reproductive/maternal health (ANC, PNC, newborn care, Iron supplementation, provision of TT vaccine, identification of high risk mothers and referral, family planning and counselling for breast feeding), immunization, and hygiene and sanitation) and nutrition services (screening for under 5, pregnant and lactating women, infant and young child feeding (IYCF), treatment of SAM without medical complications and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program for MAM cases if commodities received from WFP or linking MAM cases to partners working on TSFP in the woreda). Provision of referral services for those requiring referral is also a key element of the MHNT.
Under this project, the IRC will continue to support the woredas which are selected based on recent hot spot woreda prioritization, existence of IDPs and recommendation by the Oromia RHB. These include Dewe serere, and Laga hidha, and Doba woredas in Oromia region. The main pillars of the project are: providing life-saving Primary Health Care services in hard to reach areas and within IDPs settlements improve community-based surveillance and mobilization and improve leadership and coordination mechanisms at zonal and woreda levels.
The IRC is currently implementing emergency health and nutrition response through Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) in 9 woredas of Oromia regional state (which include the woredas prosposed under theis application). The primary targets are IDPs that originated from Somali regional state during the aftermath of border conflict across Somali-Oromia borders which resulted in more than 1 million IDPs in 2017 (the total number of IDPs has increased to 2.8 million recently according to the UN including the IDPs in SNNPR). While the conflict has subsided in most parts of the Somali-Oromia boarders, it has not fully stopped. On 13th August, 2018, the BBC (and a number of other medias) reported that 37 people were killed and more than 40 people were wounded at a location called Mayu Muluke in Oromia, a woreda that boarders with Somali region. This shows that the return of IDPs to their original places is unlikely in short period of time.

Emergency Seed support project for Gedeo IDPs fleet from West Gujii zone
The overall objective of the project is to improve and restore the livelihood status of IDP communities in Gedeo zone that displaced from West Guji Zone in Oromia region due to ethnic conflict erupted. The displacement has negatively affected their livelihood and increased their vulnerability. The project will focus to improve the livelihood status of 15,500 vulnerable households and promote early recovery through providing seeds and agricultural tools which helps to start agricultural activities and reduce the need for emergency assistance. It is planned to provide seeds such as Teff, vegetables and bean for 10000 HH heads persons and agricultural tools which includes Billhook, local axe and three finger hoe for 5500 HH heads and support them to be engaged in agricultural farming activities. MCMDO proposed to implement the emergency seed support project in five woredas namely Yergachefe, Wonago, Kochere, Gedeb and Bule in Gedeo zone, SNNPR region which are priority one woredas and hosting IDPs from West Gujii Zone as a result of the ethnic conflict erupted in 2018. These woredas are identified as hotspot woredas and needs an urgent response by the EoC and the zonal Livestock and Fisheries office/Agriculture and Natural Resources Development Office. The focus of the project is on provision of seeds, agricultural tools, and emergency seed . As per the EHF, DRM-ATF Prioritization Note of July 2018 and UNOCHA strategic paper, these woredas are identified as hotspot woredas and there is an IDP crisis which needs urgent support in this regard. MCMDO has practical demonstrated experience of similar projects and built smooth partnership with the regional and local stakeholders that help for the smooth execution of the project.
The proposed project is planned to address the emergency seed needs of the community and improve the food security satiation of 15500 beneficiaries in the target woredas. MCMDO will closely implement the project in close collaboration with key stakeholders in the target woredas to ensure the effectiveness and sustainability of the action. The project will be complemented with MCMDO’s ongoing projects on emergency nutrition and development nutrition programmes under implementation in the zone. The project will be implemented for six months’ period and the total budget of the project is USD 400,113.66 which will be fully supported by UN OOCHA - EHF Fund.

Emergency Shelter/NFI Response in Gedeo and West Guji Zone
CRS and its partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and Social Development Coordinating office of Hawassa (ECC-SDCOHA) will implement emergency shelter (ES)/non-food items(NFIs) in Gedeo and Guji, targeting populations affected by internal displacement due to civil conflict. Gedeo, located in Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples' Region (SNNPR) and Guji, located in Oromia Region, have been involved in civil conflict that has resulted in complex movements of people and the destruction of basic infrastructure in the borderland communities. Since the onset of the conflict, there have been over 800,000 people displaced in the region. In August 2018, the government of Ethiopia started encouraging the movement back of internally displaced people (IDPs) to their homes many IDPs are now returning to destroyed homes, loss of belongings, and damaged basic infrastructure.
The project will target 2220 vulnerable households split between a kebele in Gedeb Zone and another kebele of comparable size in West Guji (to be chosen with input from the Gedeb and West Guji Emergency Operations Centers-EOCs). The project will provide ES, whether in-kind or in-cash and non-food items (NFI) for 2220 returnee households. ES/NFIs will be provided in full or in partial kits based on the needs of the households. Full ES/NFIs provided will be in accordance to Sphere Standards and with guidance from the Shelter/NFI Working Group. Shelters will be 24 m2 with a frame made from local eucalyptus and further supplemented with high quality imported tarpaulins given the simplicity of the design accessibility of the materials, the shelters will be built quickly. NFI items include: drinking cups, washing basin, a kettle with lid, a cooking pot, laundry soap, bathing soap, cooking ladle, blankets, plastic mats, jerrycans of 20 and 10 liters, hessian bags, and plates.
CRS will use private and complementary resources to initiate peacebuilding activities, including community infrastructure rehabilitation to reduce pre-existing tensions between communities and returnees. Other private and complimentary resources will be used to supplement ES/NFIs for 500 returnee/IDP households in Gedeo and West Guji.
With the additional funding, CRS/ECC-SDCOHA will work with the community to promote agriculture and livelihoods activities to improve the recovery process for 300 returnees’ households. With support from the Government of Ethiopia, the project will support both the distribution of seeds and related trainings to both increase income generation options and promote nutrient diverse foods.

Extension of Emergency Nutrition project for Guraboqaqsa and Guradamole woredas of Liben zone, Somali Regional State
Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions in Ethiopia located in the North Eastern and South Eastern part of the country. As a predominantly pastoralist community, the livelihood activities are dependent on the natural resource base, and are therefore vulnerable to covariate shocks such as a drought, which undermines crop farming, livestock production, and herding opportunities. As part of humanitarian agencies, Islamic Relief (IR) is operating in Somali Regional state and take part in the implementation of nutrition projects that geared towards saving the lives of the children and mothers.
Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions which is located in the North Eastern and South Eastern part of Ethiopia. The region is predominantly pastoral community who depend on natural resource to earn their livelihood activities, and therefore the people vulnerable to covariate shocks such as a drought, which undermines crop farming, livestock production and herding opportunities. Being one of the international humanitarian agencies, Islamic Relief (IR) is operating in Somali Regional state and take part in various emergency projects such as WASH, nutrition, livelihoods, protection and education in emergencies projects that geared towards saving the lives of the children and mothers.
Accordingly, for more than 14 years, IR has been operating in Somali regional state by focusing on three zones (Sitti, Afder and Liban). In the course of implementing emergency projects in the three zones of the region, IR has been addressing nutritional needs of the people who are susceptible to food insecurity. In response to the call from the 2018 EHF Reserve Allocation, the organization has planned to recommence the emergency nutrition project which is ongoing in Gorobekekisa and Guradamole woredas of Liban Zone and it is about to end after October 2018. This project addresses the needs of both host communities and IDPs residing in seven temporary shelters located in the two target woredas. Majority of the IDPs have been displaced due to the conflict that took place in bordering areas of Somali and Oromia Regional states. As the conflict has to stopped, the number displaced people is increasing from time to time and the recent data released by DTM round 11 showed that there are about 4,393 IDPs in both Woredas. Realizing that the host communities in the areas are also affected by the conflict, the project will also address the need of the local people. As per ENCU’s classification, the two woredas fall under priority 1 hotspot areas and partners for emergency humanitarian response.
The two target woredas (Goro-baqaqasa and Guradhamole) are located in the remotest part of Liban zone administration of Somali Regional State (SRS). The people of these two woredas are typically pastoralists, while few kebeles around the river bank practice agro-pastoralism. Gorobekekisa and Guradamole Woredas are among those Woredas of Somali Region that were affected with a slow onset of food security crisis since 2016. The humanitarian situation in these two Woredas has been exacerbating due to the impact consecutive droughts and lack of recovery for the last two years.

Life Saving WaSH Response for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Hosting Communities at Kersa and Meta Woredas in East Hararghe zone
Ethiopia has not yet fully recovered from the consecutive drought that resulted in massive livestock loss in pastoral regions and crop failure in the agro-pastoral areas. More than 7.8 million people are dependent on direct food assistance, while an additional 3.6 million people are supported through public works under the Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP). Despite the benefit of the belg/ kirmet rains, immediate recovery of these communities will not be immediate, nor will it be expected without concerted assistance. The food security situation is further worsened by the ongoing conflict along the border areas between Oromia and Somali region, and the recent inter-communal violence along the border areas of Gedeo (SNNP) and West Guji (Oromia) zones. According to the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM), there are some 2.2 million Internally Displaced People (IDPs) across the country due to conflict and drought.
The crisis has placed significant strain on existing WASH infrastructure and practices, particularly in remote areas where IDPs have integrated into communities with already limited access to basic services. The safety and wellbeing of IDPs and host communities depends on effective and timely humanitarian intervention to meet urgent needs, including access to adequate safe water and sanitation, as well as hygiene promotion.
In response to this high need of improved WASH services, World Vision has planned the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities for IDPs and hosting communities in Meta and Kersa Woredas of East Hararge Zone. World Vision’s interest for WASH response of the IDPs and hosting communities of these 2 woredas is based on felt need of the affected people and the official request from East Harage Zonal and Woreda Disaster Risk Management Offices (DRM) for intervention. World Vision have well-structured and organized offices in adjacent woredas at Tullo and Melka Bello which will have impact on the cost effectiveness and timely response of the project
The overall objective of these WASH interventions in this proposed areas is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to poor WASH service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to safe and adequate water supply to IDPs and hosting communities and improve knowledge of proper hygiene practice of the targeted communities. Improving the safe water access, sanitation and hygiene interventions will be implemented with the objective of delivering holistic WaSH services to the community. The planned activities are water pipeline extension to IDPs construction of sanitation facilities (latrines), construction of hand washing facilities and distribution of WASH NFI along with hygeine and sanitation promotion activities.
Through this project World Vision has planned to address a total of 2,063 IDPs(639 Girls, 598 Boys, 432 Women and 394 Men) and 1000 Hosting communities (600 Women, 500 Men) which makes the total beneficiaries of the project to be 3,163.

Lifesaving Emergency Shelter/ Non-Food Items Response to IDPs in 2018
The proposed intervention will provide life-saving assistance to 3,250 HH (17,875 internally displaced persons) impacted by man-made disasters like inter communal conflict and natural disasters (mainly flood and other natural hazards), and who are in critical need of emergency shelter (ES) and non-food items (NFI) in Ethiopia.
Natural disasters including flooding, drought, landslide and conflict are a recurrent phenomenon in most parts of Ethiopia. These disasters are major causes of displacement for large numbers of people and result in loss of human life and assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. According to the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) Round 10, conducted nationwide March/April 2018, 274,765 households (1,613,436 individuals) in various regions of Ethiopia. The highest rates of displacement are reported in Somali (47%), Oromia (45%), Afar (3%), Tigray (2%), Gambella (1%), Dire Dewa (1%), Amhara (0.4%) and Harari (0.4%) regions, respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict (67%), climate induced shocks (30%) and other shocks (3%). Of the total displaced, 51.6% are women and 48.4% are male.
Nationally, as of 31 May 2018, the ES/NFI has in stock 48,776 in stock and pipeline and 9,644 cash grants planned. With current needs exceeding the ES/NFI kits in stock and pipeline, the cluster is forced to prioritize its response, so that only a fraction of acute needs are currently met. Within the proposed EHF project, the ES/NFI cluster will apply the inter-cluster prioritization criteria and will target 14,400 HHs who are newly displaced IDPs in Gedio, SNNP through in kind NFI assistance whereas 8,100 HHs in Somali and Oromia regions through cash for NFI.
The project will be implemented and coordinated/collaborated through cluster members which include the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Rescue Committee (IRC), the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), GOAL and other partners. IOM will take the lead on central procurement of the ES/NFI and work with partners for the immediate distribution of SNFIs.
The Cash-based assistance will target 8,100 households (IRC: 3,250 HHs, NRC: 3,250 HHs other NGO: 1,600 HHs) in project locations where quality materials are available through the local market and can be purchased directly by beneficiaries. IRC piloted cash transfers based on lessons learned from other cluster member cash based programming. Through this funding IRC plans to scale up cash based responses, and will pilot cash-based programming on ES/NFI. Through this project, the IRC will provide life-saving cash based assistance for NFI’s, targeting 3,250 IDP HHs, Somali (40%) and Oromia (60%) priority locations. Exact areas of distribution will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI cluster agencies in coordination with regional and zonal government authorities. The assessment will prioritize beneficiaries who have been internally displaced in 2018 due to conflict and/or natural disasters (mainly floods, and other natural hazards), and who are in critical need of ES/NFI. Though the IRC has operational presence in most regions throughout Ethiopia, prioritization of interventions will target regions most affected disasters, where needs are unmet. .
IRC’s Cash based assistance will reach 100% of the total number of beneficiaries IRC will support 3,250 IDP HHs assigned to IRC by the cluster.

Emergency Response and Preparedness for the WASH sector, with focus in AWD affected areas, and IDPs in the Oromia and Somali border
Inter-community violence has resulted in around 1.1 million IDPs in the Somali and Oromia border since September 2017, in addition to the 0.7 million IDPs as a consequence of natural disasters (drought and floods). Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and little access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene services.
This proposal has two components. First, to provide emergency water trucking support to Oromia region for the next six months. UNICEF is the lead water trucking agency for Oromia and expects the lifesaving need for water trucking to increase as the rainy season ends.
Secondly, to procure essential WASH NFIs (Non-Food Items) for displaced populations and host communities, as well as build preparedness for an AWD (acute watery diarrhea) outbreak response. Ethiopia is currently affected by several emergencies and having recently faced AWD outbreaks in Tigray, Afar, Oromia, Dire Dawa and Somali regions, AWD outbreak continues to be a critical risk. At present, evidence has found the practice of open defecation in 80 per cent of IDP sites and the majority of sites have no functioning toilets, increasing the heightened risks for the outbreak.

Improve access to primary health and nutrition care services to drought and conflict affected communities in Somali and Oromia regions through health system support, Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) and static temporary clinics.
The IRC proposes to support local health system and deploy Mobile Health and Nutrition Team (MHNT) in the Somali region in response to the current emergency situation and needs. This will consist of capacity building of the target health facilities in the areas of emergency primary health care and extending health and nutrition care services directly to areas with poor access to health and nutrition care services within the targeted woredas through establishing and continuation of presence of MHNTs. In Oromia, the project will support the deployment of one additional MHNT in Gelana woreda to respond to the increased influx if IDPs following the recent conflict between Guji and Gedeo communities. The project will also strengthen the capacity of target woredas in the areas of outbreak preparedness and timely response in both regions.
The IRC will apply the following approaches under this grant
1. In places with functional health facilities, the IRC will provide health system support to enhance capacity to provide emergency PHC services in terms of logistic, epidemic investigation support, improve disease surveillance,
2. In places with IDPs where there is a functional health facility, the IRC will support the health facility to meet the increased health services demand by providing supplies and assigning additional health workers in collaboration with Woreda Health Offices, Zonal Health Department and RHB.
3. In places with IDP in kebeles with no functional health facility, the IRC will deploy Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) to provide direct PHC and nutrition services.
4. In locations with large concentration of IDPs, the IRC will run temporary emergency clinic to meet the PHC and nutrition service demands of the IDPs.
Under mobile teams, the IRC will create access to emergency PHC services (general acute illness for adults, child health serves (treatment of common childhood illnesses using IMNCI protocol, routine immunization, vitamin A supplementation, deworming), reproductive/maternal health (ANC, PNC, newborn care, Iron supplementation, provision of TT vaccine, identification of high risk mothers and referral, family planning and counselling for breast feeding), immunization, and hygiene and sanitation) and nutrition services (screening for under 5, pregnant and lactating women, infant and young child feeding (IYCF), treatment of SAM without medical complications and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program for MAM cases). Provision of referral services for those requiring referral is also a key element of the MHNT.
The IRC will provide health systems support to the WoHOs to make health facilities functional, logistics support (fort transportation of supplies to health facilities), HMIS, public health emergency management, epidemic disease surveillance, and preparedness for rapid response for acute onset health emergencies. Under this project, the IRC will target six priority 1 woredas (selected based on recent hot spot woreda prioritization and in collaboration with Somali RHB). These include Gunegado, Degamedo, Garbo, Sagag, Horishaga and Danbel woredas of Somali region and Gelana woreda of West Guji zone of Oromia region.

Emergency Health Response in Abaya Woreda of West Guji Zone, Oromia Region
Save the Children is proposing to support 9,144 beneficiaries including 2,635 IDPs (4796 F, 4348 M) with 2 static temporary clinics and 2 mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in Abaya woreda of West Guji Zone, Oromia region, to enhance access to quality, lifesaving health and acute malnutrition management services. Abaya is among those worst-affected by the sudden influx of IDPs due to the recent conflict in the region. Based on West Guji Emergency Operation Center’s (EOC) repot, 23,062 IDPs are settled in 5 IDP sites in the Woreda with limited access to health and nutrition services. The proposed MHNTs will deliver general medical consultation and referrals, IMNCI services, ANC and postnatal follow-ups, referral care for deliveries, immunization and Vitamin-A supplementation, early warning and disease surveillance, and basic trauma care (including medical management of rape) and referral services. Women and children, vulnerable groups including IDPs, returnees, the elderly and people with disabilities, and those suffering from acute malnutrition, will be prioritized for services. Targeting of beneficiaries and site selection will be carried out in close coordination with local government and community representatives through the formation of community committees with equitable representations. The daily operations of MHNT services will be coordinated with the Woreda Health Office to ensure that vulnerable groups are served. If significant change occurs in number of beneficiaries due to relocation, save the children will ensure flexibility of the project by transferring the mobile and temporary health facilities within wordas of the region with prior consultation and approval of the Regional Health Bureau (RHBs) and health cluster coordination unit.

Lifesaving Emergency WASH Response to displaced IDPs and host communities in 2017/2018 in Lagahidha, dawe serar and Rayitu districts of Bale zone of Oromia region
The proposed intervention will provide life-saving WASH services assistance to 5,964 households (HH) (46,578 individuals) internally displaced persons and local host community) impacted by man-made and natural disasters (drought, floods, and other natural hazards), and conflict, and who are in critical need of emergency WASH and non-food items (NFI) in Ethiopia.
Natural disasters and conflict are recurrent phenomena in most parts of Ethiopia. These disasters are major causes of displacement for large numbers of people and result in loss of human life and assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. According to the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) Round 10, conducted nationwide in April 2018, a total of 274,765 HH representing 1,613,436 individuals, are in a situation of internal displacement in various regions of Ethiopia. The highest rates of displacement are reported in Somali (46.3%), Oromia (43%), Tigray (4%), Afar (3.4%), Gambella (0.9%), Dire Dawa (0.9%), Addis Ababa (0.7%), Amhara (0.5%), and Hareri (0.3%) regions respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict (67%), drought (31%) and other factors including flash floods (2%). Of the total displaced 51 % are women and 49 % are male.
Starting from the mid of April 2018, new conflict between Guji and Gedeo zones of Oromia and SNNP regions led to the displacement of over 642,152 IDPs in Gedeo zone of SNNPR region and 176,098 IDPs in West Guji zone of Oromia region. In Gedeo, IDPs are dispersed across Bule (38,459 IDPs in one site), Dilla Zuria (12,751 IDPs living with host communities), Gedeb (306,572 IDPs in three sites), Kochere (82,423 IDPs living with host communities), Wonago (32,784), Yirgachefe (106,832 IDPs in four sites) woredas and Dilla Town (62,511 IDPs in one “collective” type center). In West Guji, some 176,098 IDPs remain in Abaya (9,377 IDPs), Birbirsa Kojowa (9,767 IDPs), Bule Hora (15,330 IDPs), Gelana (43,224 IDPs), Hambela Wamena (29,086 IDPs) and Kercha (69,264 IDPs) woredas. This is the second large-scale wave of violence that has hit the area since April 2018 – where at least 274,548 people were initially displaced in Gedeo and some 84,000 people in West Guji. Around 33% of the IDPs in West Guji are ethnic Gedeos. Within the first two weeks of displacement, the Oromia and SNNP regional authorities agreed to facilitate the return of all the IDPs to their respec¬tive areas of origin by end of April, and to provide assistance in areas of return. Most of the IDPs are living with host communities. The Government, local community and humanitarian partners including IRC provided some assistance. However, the responses so far are very limited compared to the needs. On the other hand, IRC has also identified critical gaps in Bale IDPs sites where our interventions are currently on going but probably end at end of July 2018 due to limited resources mobilized for the Gedeo-Guji conflict.
The project will be implemented through direct intervention by the IRC by identifying the gaps in three IDPs districts of the Bale zone and coordinating with other agencies including UNICEF and government organizations in the WASH Cluster members.
This project aims to address critical gaps of WASH services needs in IDPs sites and host communities through rehabilitation of Water schemes, emergency water tracking, Distribution of Water treatment Chemicals, dignity kits, WAH NFIs and improving the sanitation and hygiene practices in IDPs sites establishment of one surface water treatment site at one of the IDP site for water tracking to support the water need of IDPs during drought and host community needs and improve the water quality monitoring of the government partners. The current situations in IDPs sites is worsening due to the depletion of rain in the area and shortage of budget sources. The current IRC intervention in Lagahidha and Dawe Serar will be end at the end of this

Life-saving Emergency Nutrition Response in hotspot woredas in Oromia, SNNPR, Somali, Afar, and Amhara regions in Ethiopia
Ethiopia has been confronted by several repeated natural disasters since 2015: the whole country was hit by the El-Nino induced drought in 2015, followed by the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) driven drought in the second half of 2016 which seriously affected pastoral communities in the southern and eastern parts of the country. Adding to the already dire situation in these areas, inter-community conflicts have resulted in more than 2.8 million internally displaced populations (IDPs) DTM Round 11)) across the country. Approximately one million – of the 2.8 million IDPs - are displaced in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) zones. More than one million people still displaced since last year’s Oromia-Somali conflict face multiple vulnerabilities. Majority of the IDPs are women (50 per cent) and children under 18 (60 per cent) (DTM R11). Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and little access to safe water, sanitation facilities and health nutrition services. Moreover, with the arrival of the heavy kiremt rains as well as the major hunger season, Afar, Oromia, SNNPR, Amhara, and Somali regions are seeing a deterioration in the nutrition situation among children. Robust and comprehensive nutrition services should be provided and strong coordination mechanism put in place to sustain, reduce and prevent mortality and morbidity associated with the multiple emergencies.
Due to above complex emergencies, Ethiopia has seen its highest levels of the Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) since the inception of the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) in the country: 350,451, 320,883 and 344,666 children under five were admitted for SAM treatment in 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively. In 2018, it is estimated that some 350,000 children will receive SAM treatment, and the figure is likely to be revised upwards during the mid-year review (MYR) of the 2018 Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP). UNICEF remains the sole agency that procures the Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic Foods (RUTF) and therapeutic milks, and routine medicine that are essential to treat SAM. For its 2018 response, considering the increased needs and given the multiple risk factors of flooding and disease outbreaks, UNICEF has internally revised its nationwide SAM caseload higher for planning and preparedness purposes, and faces a gap in its SAM treatment supplies pipeline. Failure to close the gap will result in the failure to deliver life-saving nutrition services to the children in need. To prevent this, in this proposed project, UNICEF aims to procure and distribute 56,700 cartons of Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods (RUTFs) that can immediately save lives of children with SAM.

Emergency Nutrition response in Dilla Zuria Woreda of SNNPR region (top up)
World Vison Ethiopia is proposing a top up emergency nutrition response to save lives and reduce the morbidity and mortality of under five children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) due to deterioration of the nutritional status among severely drought-affected, high number of IDP hosting, and influxes of IDPs in Dilla Zuria woreda, Gedeo zone, and SNNP region. With this top up funding, World Vision Ethiopia will fill the gaps occurred after the 1st round EHF allocation on TSFP and SAM Management due to rising of the IDP number and being stretched the health system on nutrition staff in Dilla Zuria. Accordingly World Vision have proposed selective activities which could be tailored to the existing emergency nutrition project and responded the needs of the system. World Vision will implement the intervention focusing on the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) for the detection and rehabilitation of Severe and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and (MAM) cases among under five children and PLW of both IDPs and hosting community. Under the context of IDPs and existing under optimal child feeding and care practices among host communities and IDPs, the project will incorporate IYCF interventions (Establishing Breast feeding corner) targeting PLW and mothers with SAM amp MAM children. Some of the identified and planned nutritional interventions include further strengthening of the community mobilization using the capacity of the local community mobilizer and measures as an additional potential for quality screening, coverage, and linkage through appropriate mapping and targeting of eligible children monthly strengthening the implementation capacity of the health facilities and the community for quality SAM amp MAM management through hiring of additional nutrition staffs (for TSFP amp IYCF) and community mobilizers and measurers, provision of gap filling training, coaching/mentoring, supplementary food distribution, top up supplies for TFP sites, and ensuring the linkage among CMAM components and quality documentation amp reporting. The program will also boost the implementation of IYCF-E activities including women nutrition, breast feeding, complementary feeding, and hygiene practices support in TFP (SC) and FD sites, in which mothers from hosting and IDPs with SAM amp MAM children and PLW are targeted.
WVE will implement TSFP activities based on the revised WFP approach/model “Facility based” and “Integrative TSFP where IDPs mixed with Host community” to manage TSFP at Dilla Zuria and strengthen the SAM amp MAM case management and referral quality by assigning new nutrition professionals (TSFP amp IYCF) who have proven experience on emergency nutrition programs on similar settings and closing gaps on supplies and materials of the TFP amp TSFP and in collaboration with other relevant Government organizations and UN agencies as per the requirement. Generally, the project will directly benefits children of 2,406 with SAM and 4,285 with MAM and PLW of 4,860 with acute malnutrition for quality CMAM services in both Hosting (4,866) and IDPs (6,685) concurrently about 438 and 1,968 Mothers from Host and IDPs will get IYCF counseling support while they are attending the TFP service for their children.

Responding to Emergency Health Needs of Conflict affected IDPs in SNNP and Oromia Regions, Ethiopia
The ongoing conflict between Gedeo and Guji in SNNP and Oromia regions has led to massive displacement of more than 800,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gedeo zone. The movement and geographical distribution of the displaced persons is very dynamic. After several months of the conflict, IDPs are reported to move back to their areas of origin, mainly to Guji. As of October 2018, official’s figures shared by OCHA reveals that 286,565 IDPs/returnees are reported to be in West Guji while 137667 IDPs/returnees are reported to be in Gedeo zone. Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and with little access to safe water, sanitation facilities, and basic health and nutrition services. Robust and comprehensive emergency health services need to be provided to reduce and prevent mortality and morbidity associated with this emergency. SNNP and Oromia Regional Health Bureaus (RHB) and partners have reported huge gaps in essential medicines and health supplies in all health facilities as the influx of IDPs/returnees has exceeded expectations. The availability of essential medicines and health-related supplies is critical to saving lives and reducing morbidities among those vulnerable groups.
The objective of this project is to timely and effectively respond to emergency health needs of the IDPs/returnees through the provision of essential life-saving health supplies and commodities to treat common health diseases/conditions and prevent disease outbreaks. The project will support RHBs and partners to monitor and technically support the emergency health interventions being provided, and facilitate smooth health supplies and services delivery to the targeted beneficiaries. The direct beneficiaries are all conflict-affected IDPs and returnees in Gedeo and West Guji in SNNPR and Oromia regardless of their age, gender and social status, an estimated 424,232 persons (women, men, boys and girls) in total. These beneficiaries will receive essential health services and hygiene promotion provided through health facilities, including community facilities in all locations. This project is seeking a total amount of $ 299,921.00 to implement the planned interventions which includes procurement and distribution of emergency health medicines and commodities, support technical supportive supervision to health workers and health facilities to ensure quality and continuity of health services, and facilitate monitoring and easy delivery of supplies and commodities to all IDPs locations in Gedeo and West Guji zones.
The project interventions are aligned with health cluster strategies, priorities and objectives. Furthermore, the activities under this proposal have been prioritized and agreed upon in consultations with RHB, WHO, and health cluster partners. UNICEF will ensure implementation of the project through close coordination with RHBs, WHO and health cluster partners. All supplies will be procured per national standards. The project including the commodities will be monitored regularly through UNICEF field offices and RHBs monitoring structures in SNNP and Oromia regions.

Life Saving WASH Response for Conflict induced IDPs in Gedeo-Guji Zones
According to the 2018 HRDP, most of the 2017 humanitarian needs were carried over into 2018 given insufficient recovery opportunities, rising food levels and the lack of sustainable sources of livelihood. The situation is further exacerbated by the continued large-scale displacement due to ethic violence as well as flooding and communicable disease outbreaks such as Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) and measles. As a result to these humanitarian crisis in Ethiopia 7.88 million people need food assistance whereas 8.49 million people are in need of none food assistance. Despite the ongoing effort to address the humanitarian crisis, Ethiopia is still dealing with residual effects of recurrent drought and conflicts. The recent inter-communal tensions between Gedeo and Guji communities has led to a new wave of large-scale displacement along the borders of SNNPR-Oromia Regions. Along these borders of Gedeo and West Guji zones the number of IDPs reach up to 818,250 individuals. This newly triggered conflict, has pushed the number of IDPs in the country up to 1.77million that are located in 1000 sites.
World Vision Ethiopia (WVE), as a humanitarian actor, is planning to respond to this humanitarian crisis by integrating with its already existing development programs in the proposed area. The overall objective of this project is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to the newly triggered inter-communal conflict along the border of West Guji and Gedeo zones with WASH interventions. The targeted three woredas are Kochere in SNNPR and Gelana and Bule Hora in Oromia accordingly
In kochere Woreda WVE will address 15002 IDPs in the camps of Fiseha Genet Town where 7758 IDPs settled and IDPs settled in Chelelektu Town where a total of 7244 IDPs settled in19 camps ]. These camps are Cheleleqtu 02 kebele office, Cheleleqtu 01 kebele office, Hiwot Birhan, Watatoch maikel, Kalehiwot church, Firdbet maikel ,Eseyas Sorso. Hibret sira, Orthodox church, Hawariyat, Zerihun lema, Junior school, Asebimil Ben, Public servis ina menaharia, Worku maikel, Ershana tefetro habt office, Insisa ena asa habt office, Mulu wengel church, Abreham Duket fabrica.
In Bule Hora woreda WVE will address 15603 IDPs (10803IDPs amp 4800 host community members) in Bule hora 02, Gerba 01 and Gerbas 02 kebeles that are settled at Mora Bulchinsa Godinaa, Gerba 01 and Gerba 02 IDP sites respectively.
In Gelana WVE will address the IDPs in the collective centers of Jirme, Samalo, Tore, Tore town and Wacu kebeles which hosts a total of 7426 IDPs at Mume, Bufata Samalo, Malka Allati, Tore badiyya, Galma bulchinsa,Tore elementary school and Bufrata Wacu collective sites respectively.
As part of life saving activity, this project seeks to address the acute sanitation need through construction of sanitation and hand washing facilities, hygiene campaigns and distribution of WASH NFIs. This project will be implemented coordinating with other potential actors and the national WASH cluster.

Lifesaving health services to conflict IDPs and host communities in Gedeo, SNNPR and West Guji, Oromia Region
In August 2018, following extensive peace and reconciliation efforts related to the Gedeo/West Guji conflict, the government began to facilitate the return of IDPs from the areas of displacement back to their kebeles of origin. Despite the return efforts many of the displaced are affected by damaged or destroyed houses, loss of livestock and a missed planting season and as a result many of the returnees are living in collective centers in their woredas or kebeles of origin because they were not able to move back to their homes. In addition to the status of the displacement and return some of the health facilities in the affected woredas were damaged in the conflict, are providing limited services and there is insufficient capacity of the temporary clinics and mobile health and nutrition teams to provide primary health services to the return population which increases the risk of the spread of communicable disease in the host and IDP communities. According to estimates from the Emergency Operating Centers in Gedeo and West Guji there are now 294,565 IDP/Returnees (and 979,323 in the host community at risk) in West Guji and 145,856 IDPs still in Gedeo (with 1,165,796 host community at risk) and so after the return the community at risk is now approximately 50% in each zone.
The project will address the increased risk of communicable disease by supporting the strengthening of zonal PHEM to carry out health surveillance/early warning, rapid response and containment as well as operational support for rapid response mechanism for the two affected zones of Gedeo and West Guji. The project will provide DSA and logistics for rapid response teams so that they can immediately investigate outbreak alerts. The project will also strengthen the rapid response by providing refresher training for zonal PHEM surveillance/early warning teams in the two-targeted zones on the integrated early warning system, maintenance of the database of PHEM alert and investigation operations using the standard recommended format (national and WHO). This includes information on the date/time of the notification, date time of the event and lag time until investigation initiated, alert type, number of cases and deaths, samples, numbers, laboratory results (and the lag time) and interventions carried out.
The project will also support the deployment of additional health teams (static and mobile) through a regional/zonal surge mechanism to support the overburdened existing services in response to the increased demand. Medicines and medical supplies will be procured and logistics will be provided to fill in for increased consumption and present shortages to support services to the conflict affected communities in Gedeo and West Guji. Additionally, the project will preposition CTCs, provide a surge stock for AWD and identify staff for eventual re-purposing in both zones. The AWD surge stock provided by WHO 1 month ago has been depleted, as it was used to treat the excess load of other diarrheal diseases. The medicines and medical supplies necessary for the response to an AWD outbreak will also support the treatment of increasing number of endemic communicable diseases that threatens to reach epidemic levels especially among the most vulnerable conflict affected communities and IDPs. Laboratory supplies from sampling material, rapid diagnostic tests to reagents for confirmation of cases ensures that the treatment is the most appropriate and in accordance with national guidelines.

Strengthening referral stabilization centers for inpatient management of severe acute malnutrition with medical complications in IDP response, Gedeo/West Guji
The situation along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji zones is worsening, according to a joint inter-agency mission which was conducted in the last week of June 2018,. Violence in these zones along the border areas since June 2018 has led to the displacement of over 793,094 IDPs in Gedeo these IDPs are now living in 73 collective sites, and about 185,000 are living in 26 sites in West Guji zone.The IDP numbers remain fluid, with reports of new IDPs arriving every day. In Gedeb for instance, it was reported that on average over 100 new IDPs arrive each day.
Due to the challenges related to food distribution the assessment team has seen an alarming rate of malnutrition and an increase in the rate of SAM.
The project will develop the stabilization centers in Bule Hora and Kercha hospitals in West Guji Zone (Oromia) and also the stabilization centers in Dilla and Bule Hospital as well as Wanago Health Center in Gedeo Zone (SNNP).

Emergency maternal and reproductive health services to conflict induced IDPs in East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia region
Recurrent drought has been affecting Ethiopia, mainly the southern and south-eastern parts, and has left millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. Based on Ethiopia’s 2018 Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), 7.88 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance. The total number of hot spot priority districts are 463, of which 216 are classified as hot spot priority one districts. Oromia region is one of the most drought affected regions in the country. From the total 216 drought affected hot spot priority one woredas, 67 woredas in Oromia region are classified as priority 1 hot spot woredas. Millions of people have been internally displaced due to the continued public unrest, ethnic based conflict and drought and flooding induced by climate change. The continued public unrest in different parts of the country mainly in Somali and Oromia regions continues to result in the displacement of population in Ethiopia. As of May – June, 2018 IOM displacement tracking matrix (DTM) round 11 report, there are 1,366,670 internally displaced persons in Somali and Oromia regions hosted in 717 sites. Of these, 636,547 IDPs was hosted in Oromia region in 424 IDP sites. Based on this IOM round 11 report, there are 205,890 internally displaced persons hosted in 31 districts of East and West Hararghe zones resided in 224 IDP sites that critically requires maternal and reproductive health services. In humanitarian situations women and girls do have unique health concerns, on sexual and reproductive health services and related life-threatening complications of pregnancy and childbirth attributable to malnutrition that must be addressed in internally displaced persons. In this project, UNFPA is planning to provide sexual and reproductive health and clinical management of rape survivor’s services for 184,680 conflict induced IDPs in selected 14 woredas hosting greater than 5,000 IDPs in East and West Haraghe zones of Oromia region.
Project Goal: To contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in selected IDP sites and surrounding affected host communities.
Project Objective: To improve availability and increase access to lifesaving reproductive health, maternal health and sexual violence services for IDPs and affected host communities

The outbreak response elicited by the El Niño started in 2015 in Addis Ababa and rapidly spread to Somali, Afar, Amhara, Benishangul Gumuz, Dire Dawa, Gambella, Harer, Oromia, SNNPR, and Tigray regions of Ethiopia. The swift surge in the number of cases of AWD in early 2017 with more than 4000/week reported from mid-April to end May brought about significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for saving lives through access to treatment and the control of community spread. By the end of 2017 the outbreak was brought under control in the most heavily affected regions including Somali, Oromia, Amhara, and Tigray. The resurgence in early January 2018 in Dire Dawa, Somali and Tigray as well as the outbreak in Afar in May were rapidly controlled because the strong early warning and rapid response mechanisms which were established during the peak of the outbreak, led by PHEM/RNOH/RHB and supported by WHO covered most of at the high risk regions/zones/woredas.
The health determinants and triggering factors for outbreaks have remained unchanged, or in some regions degraded further due to additional internal massive displacement. Access to safe drinking water, poor sanitation and hygiene behaviors, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, large numbers of internally displaced people in the context of an overburdened local health system creates an impeding risk for AWD and other water borne diseases outbreak resurgence especially in Aug and Sept.
The aim of the project is to support maintaining a strong and rapidly scalable early warning/surveillance and Rapid Response capacities to effectively cover the high risk populations. Immediate investigation, confirmation of alerts and rapid response mechanisms along with improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC) are essential for the control of community spread of diseases with high epidemic potential. The EHF funding will enable maintaining the WHO epidemiologists, surveillance and environmental health officers presence in the high risk regions to continue to providing technical, information management, and coordination support at regional and zonal levels along with logistic and operational support for the Rapid Response Teams of the RHB for the next 7 month.
Controlling health threats and outbreaks is a multi-disciplinary (water quality, case management, risk communication, surveillance, IPC) and multi-sectorial (WASH, Nutrition, shelter, logistic) effort, as a front line rapid response to contain the sources of potential outbreaks. The activities are complementing other WHO field programs in coordination with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners’. This intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and rapid, efficient response and as a result will help to contain the outbreaks locally and keep monitoring the epidemiological trends, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR). In addition, the project includes procurement of medicines and medical supplies for PHC clinics run by NGOs and RHBs for the IDPs, and some AWD kits, complementing other available resources. Still, even with USD 2,1 received/committed (EHF, CERF) so far, the gap in medicines and medical supplies remains significant at USD 6,4.

Addressing Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) services through provision of emergency reproductive health kits for conflict induced internally displaced persons and returnees in Gedeo and West Guji zones of SNNP and Oromia Regions
Recurrent drought has been affecting Ethiopia, mainly the southern and south-eastern parts, and has left millions of people in need of humanitarian assistance. Based on Ethiopia’s 2018 Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), 7.88 million people require immediate humanitarian assistance. The total number of hot spot priority districts are 463, of which 216 are classified as hot spot priority one districts. Millions of people have been internally displaced due to the continued public unrest, ethnic based conflict and drought and flooding induced by climate change. The continued public unrest in different parts of the country mainly in Somali, SNNP and Oromia regions continues to result in the displacement of population in Ethiopia. As of July – August, 2018 IOM displacement tracking matrix (DTM) round 12 report, there are 2.88 million internally displaced persons in the country hosted in 1,415 sites. Of these, 931,802 IDPs was hosted in Oromia region in 542 IDP sites and 738,661 IDPs was hosted in SNNP region in 292 IDP sites. Based on this IOM round 12 report, there are 738,661 internally displaced persons hosted in 292 IDP sites in Gedeo zone of SNNP region that critically requires maternal and reproductive health services. In humanitarian situations women and girls do have unique health concerns, on sexual and reproductive health services and related life-threatening complications of pregnancy and childbirth attributable to malnutrition that must be addressed in internally displaced persons. In this project, UNFPA is planning to provide sexual and reproductive health and clinical management of rape survivor’s services for conflict induced IDPs in selected 6 woredas in West Guji and gedeo zones.
Project Goal: To contribute to the reduction of maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity in selected IDP sites and surrounding affected host communities
Project Objective: To enhance availability of lifesaving reproductive health, maternal health and sexual violence services for IDPs and affected host communities.

Emergency Shelter/NFI Emergency Response in Deder and Babile Woredas of East Hararghe Zone, Oromia Region
CRS and its longstanding partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and Social Development Coordinating Office of Hararghe (ECC-SDCOH) will implement the Emergency Shelter/NFI Emergency Response in East Hararghe, targeting populations affected by internal displacement due to civil conflict. The civil conflict has resulted in complex movements of Somali and Oromo people and due to unrest and fears amongst ethnic Oromos living in Djibouti. These events have resulted in this destruction of basic infrastructure in borderland communities with over 144,000 displaced. The woredas are still characterized by turbulence, and the number of IDPs is still increasing, leading to a shortage of housing across the area.
The project will target 1,030 vulnerable IDP households (5,150 individuals), in Deder and Babile woredas. The project will provide transitional shelter to 1,030 households in the woredas and support another 135 households in Babile and Deder with non-food items(NFI), either in-kind or in-cash. In consultation with EHF/OCHA, the scope of the shelter construction may be expanded to also address the extensive IDP needs across the region and the country.
Given the scale of the response, diverse needs of the IDPs, and varying amounts of available land, three types of shelters will be constructed:
Individual transitional shelter (Type 1):
The 3m by 5m transitional shelter with and eucalyptus structure frame, CGI sheet covered roof and walls has a lockable door and one closable windows, and internal partition. CRS/ECC-SDCOH worked with beneficiary communities, through focus group discussions, shelter re-design and construction pilots to better understand local preferences. Families with more than eight members will be considered as two HH units. (Please see Annex 1 for design)
Partition cubicle with elevated platform (Type 2):
The 4m by 3m cubicle with 2m high partition has a eucalyptus frame and CGI sheet for wall and door. This space has a covered living space of 17.4m2 including the elevated platform area which will serve as sleeping area, and underneath will serve as storage space for beneficiary’ personal belongings. Type 2 shelters are intended to decongest overcrowding inside existing collective centers. (Please see Annex 2 for design)
One-block, 20 units transitional shelter (Type 3):
Type 3 transitional shelter is constructed in a row of 10 transitional shelters, back to back for a total of 20 transitional shelters for one block. The 3m by 5m transitional shelter has a eucalyptus structure frame, CGI sheet covered roof and wall (partition and external wall), a lockable door and one closable window. This shelter design is adapted to informal settlement compound where number of household exceeded the space covered living area for individual transitional shelter. In most cases, displaced people in informal compound belongs to one clan. (Please see Annex 3 for design)
To improve the sustainability of shelter construction, CRS/ECC-SDCOH will provide 10 construction techniques and skills trainings for 150 IDPs, and engage a Housing, Land, and Property Officer to ensure that land agreements are developed for both the safety of the landlords and IDPs.
In addition, CRS/ECC-SDCOH will provide NFIs per cluster standards or cash transfers in accordance with Sphere standards and with guidance from the inter-agency Ethiopia Cash Working Group CRS/ECC-SDCOH to provide a one-time unconditional cash transfer of with a value of $163/ household for the purchase of NFIs.

Emergency Response and Preparedness for the WASH sector focused in Oromia and SNNP regions of Ethiopia
Inter-community violence has displaced over 800,000 people in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) zones since June 2018, of which an estimated 55% are children under 18 years of age. Whilst some IDPs have returned to their areas of origin, according to DTM Round 12 (October 2018), there are still 603,703 IDPs in both zones. The emergency operation centres report significantly different figures of returnees. The threat of secondary displacement remains, barring peace and reconciliation efforts to lead to durable solutions.
As there is currently no official consensus on the actual numbers of IDPs or returnees by either zone, UNICEF will consider the total population of the affected 13 woredas in both zones as the affected population. From this population, UNICEF will target children most in need based on specific sector criteria and guided by the EHCT-endorsed Operational Guidelines.
This proposal has four components.
First, to provide emergency water trucking support to West Guji zone, Oromia region for two months. UNICEF is the lead water trucking agency for Oromia, and other implementing partners are supporting water trucking in Gedeo.
Secondly, to procure essential water treatment chemicals for displaced populations and host communities in both zones.
Thirdly, the rehabilitation of non-functioning and damaged water supply infrastructure and, where possible, the expansion of water supply infrastructure to cover collective centres – that where possible also serve the needs of host communities.
Fourthly and finally, strengthening of the capacity of the WASH Cluster to provide support targeted to this crisis through the hiring of two cluster coordinators for Gedeo and West Guji zones.

Emergency Health and Nutrition in Somali Region, Jarar, Shabelle and Fafan Zones
Mercy Corps (MC) proposes to immediately address the urgent, critical needs of the most vulnerable communities affected by consecutive droughts and, in some woredas, compounded by the influx of conflict-induced Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the following 13 woredas in the Somali Region: Jarar Zone, Ararso, Aware, Birkod, Dig, Yo’ale , Degehamedo, Gunagado, Bililbur woredas Shabelle Zone, Denan, East Imi, Ber’anno and Abakorow woredas Fafan Zone, Tuliguled woredas.
The overall objective of the project is to support the regional government to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with under-nutrition and increased illnesses (primarily diarrhea, pneumonia, malaria and acute water diarrhea/AWD) of communities affected by drought, conflict and with poor access to primary health care services. Woredas were selected in close consultation with the coordinating bodies at federal (Emergency Nutrition Coordination Unit/ENCU, Multi-Agency Nutrition Task Force/MANTF, World Food Programme/WFP, Health Cluster and WHO) regional levels and based on high caseloads, woreda capacity and prevalence of conflict, disease and IDPs. MC has been present in these woredas as of 2016 and 2017 and proposed interventions are tailored per woreda (Attachment 1) based on our deep understanding of the needs, the government capacity to response, and objective to save lives while also supporting systems strengthening.
MC aims to address both moderate and severe acute malnutrition and reach 75,286 beneficiaries (CU5 and PLW) through the full Community based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) continuum of care which includes community mobilization Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) Stabilization Center (SC) and Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP). The TSFP program will rely on the TSFP commodity availability pipeline from WFP which currently provides for P1 woredas only and therefore the TSFP component of this project is contingent upon regular food availability from WFP. All beneficiaries will receive targeted counseling on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) emphasizing infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and personal and household level hygiene. Mobile Health Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) will be deployed to reach the IDP camps and other hard to reach areas in both woredas by providing primary health care services including vaccinations and antenatal care.
The intervention comprises the following outcomes:
Nutrition –CMAM:
Outcome 1: Improved nutrition capacity to manage severe acute malnutrition (SAM), with and without complications, using Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM)
Outcome 2: Improved capacity to manage moderate malnutrition (MAM) among children 6 – 59 months, pregnant women and lactating mothers with children less than 6 months old
Outcome 3: Increased awareness of community members on the importance of optimal infant and young child feeding and caring practices and other nutrition related topics, as well as hygiene-related behaviors
Health
Outcome 1: Diagnosis Consultation and treatment of common diseases with a focus on of child illnesses and maternal and reproductive health services. Child health service (IMNCI) to treat common causes of child mortality
Beneficiaries who are suffering from common communicable and non – communicable diseases and other illnesses who have no access to health facilities/services will receive free-of-charge treatment and medical consultation at nearby locations. Children will be treated as per the IMNCI guideline
Outcome 2. Maternal health including ANC, PNC and FP
All pregnant mothers who have no/insufficient access to maternal health services at facility level will get antenatal and postnatal care services plus family planning and timely referral of emergencies

Emergency nutrition response for drought and conflict affected pastoralist and IDPs in Deka Suftu woredas in Liibaan Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia.
Ethiopia as a nation is expected to continue facing major natural and man-made disasters as the ongoing situation is characterized by food insecurity that was carried forward from the impacts of poor rainfall in 2016/17. The forthcoming weather condition in the next month is also not promising because of the rainfall variability and large-scale conflict-related displacement requiring the continuation of humanitarian assistance. Thus, mobilizing large-scale emergency assistance for the affected people in the form of food, nutrition, and WASH aid – is needed to prevent extreme levels of food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and excess mortality (FEWS NET Alert March/2018) for emerging regions such as Somali region.
In order to address the emergency nutrition needs of the region, Islamic Relief Worldwide has been operating in three zones of Somali Region and currently the organization operates in Liben zone by implementing emergency nutrition project in Deka Suftu woreda.. Majority of the IDPs residing in this woreda have been displaced due to conflict. Based on the recent data, there are more than 25, 000 IDPs and the host communities are estimated to be 125, 000. The woreda is one of the host spot area for emergency humanitarian response in the zone.
On the basis of the lessons learned, activities to be financed with the additional resources requested from OCHA would focus particularly on reaching pregnant and lactating women and for the children under five years and transferring day to day implementation and follow-up responsibilities until the objective of saving life is attained in the course of time.
As the ongoing project of IRW is going to end by --------, the emergency response started for the needy people has to continue for the next six months so as to deliver emergency support for the people affected by conflict and to address acute food insecurity and malnutrition.
Accordingly, IRW has the intention continuing emergency nutrition by proposing similar intervention that will offer nutrition support for the needy people

Emergency response to the most acute WASH and Shelter needs of IDPs in Gedeo Zone, Ethiopia
The project aims to save lives, reduce morbidity and mortality of the most vulnerable newly arrived internally displaced population in in Yirgachafe woreda, Gedeo Zone through an integrated multi-sectorial intervention.
This proposed project responds to the emergency situation caused by a large scale population movement to Gedeo Zone, SNNPR, Ethiopia. The dire situation has led to acute needs of recently arrived IDPs (over 800 000 people). This life-saving action aims at improving access to safe drinking water, emergency sanitation, hygiene promotion as well as 4 emergency NFI kits (emergency shelter kit, bedding set, kitchen set and hygiene kit) for a total of 31,162 individuals. The content of NFI kits is in line with ES and NFI Cluster guidelines, all WASH activities are in line with WASH Cluster.
In order to ensure the most effective response, the action will be implemented by PIN in close coordination with other actors (e.g. OCHA, IOM, INGOs etc). Kebeles Rsete, Haru Haru, Dumerso and Chelba in Yirgachefe woreda will be targeted within the action. It is foreseen that the following locations will be selected - 5 IDP collection centres: 1) Dumerso High school with 6480 IDPs, 2) Dumerso Technique school with 2988 IDPs, 3) Chelba School with 8480 IDPs, 4) Haru Haru High school with 21 684 IDPs and 5) Rsete school with 6537 IDPs and IDPs host communities esp. Yirgachefe Zuria with 62 307 IDPs. In Yirgachefe woreda, it is estimated that approx. 166 000 IDPs (approx. 23 500 HHs) reside.
Result 1 will focus on: 1) Life-saving supply of drinking water to 16,000 IDPs via water trucking 2) Hygiene promotion 3) Re/establishment of 8 water committees 4) Latrine and shower construction. Result 2 on: 1) Provision of Emergency Shelter kits for 1 000 HHs 2) Provision of Bedding sets for 2 000 HHs 3) Provision of Kitchen sets for 2 000 HHs) and 4) Provision of Hygiene kits for 2 000 HHs.
A total of 31,162 beneficiaries will benefit from the proposed project directly as it is estimated that beneficiaries from Result 1 and Result 2 will be the same.

Strengthening Emergency Nutrition Response and Coordination for the Conflict affected IDPs in Oromia and SNNP Regions, Ethiopia
Inter-community violence has resulted in more than 800,000 IDPs in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) zones. This now brings the total conflict and drought IDP’s in Ethiopia to 2.4 million, the majority of whom are women and children. Many of these IDPs have lost their homes and are now without proper shelter, with inadequate NFIs, and little access to safe water, sanitation facilities and health nutrition services. The shortfalls in the relief food and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) commodity pipelines, and the delayed dispatch/distribution remain a critical concern, making the nutrition status of IDP children and PLW of paramount concern. Robust and comprehensive nutrition services should be provided and strong coordination mechanism put in place to sustain, reduce and prevent mortality and morbidity associated with the emergency.
UNICEF and the Nutrition Cluster estimate some 10,500 children will likely suffer from SAM between July and December 2018. Some 91,000 children 6-59 months and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) are estimated to be moderately acutely malnourished. The increase in the burden of acute malnutrition will stretch the capacity of the local health system to provide comprehensive nutrition and health services. At the same time, National Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC), line ministries and OCHA have established coordination mechanisms at zonal and hub levels, which require UNICEF- supported technical expertise as the Nutrition Cluster Lead Agency. Given these needs, UNICEF proposes to increase its technical support in emergency nutrition response, with a focus on screening and treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) referral, and enhance nutrition coordination at all levels. To ensure that a robust CMAM programme is in place in the health facilities and support the two RHBs and DPPBs, UNICEF seeks to recruit four third-party CMAM monitors and three national emergency nutrition technical assistants. UNICEF has also deployed one international surge nutritionist to manage zonal level inter-cluster and high-level coordination in Gedeo to ensure that a strong coordination mechanism is set up to maximize the use of limited resources and avoid duplication of services. UNICEF plans to hire three zonal nutrition coordinators to convene and coordinate nutrition partners to assess the gaps and for effective results delivery in West Guji, East and West Hararges and Gedeo zones, and three sub-zonal coordinators to be based in each of the three hubs (Yirgachefe town, Dilla town, and Gedeb) in Gedeo for the same purpose.

Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) in two woredas and temporary static clinic in one woreda of West Gujji Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
In Oromia Region, West Guji Zones are targeted by the proposed project. West Guji zone has a total population of 1,273,888 Host communities and More than 188,747 IDPs. The project targets two woredas and One town in West Guji zone, Bule Hora with a total population of 257,684 host communities and 33,199 IDPs and Birbirsa Kojowa woredas with a total population of 75,544 Host communities and 11,017 IDPs and Kercha Town has 28,583 IDPs.
Border conflict lead to severe food insecurity situation that together with acute water shortage predispose the communities to outbreaks, increased malnutrition and illness. This project will facilitate access to conflict IDPs affected population to basic health and nutrition service through the establishment of two mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in the two targeted woredas and one Temporary static Clinic in Kercha town.The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 26,482 IDPs benefited from the consultations and treatment, routine vaccination, MCH care, SAM without complication care and supplementary feeding for MAM.The MHNTs are also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and HMIS on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks and when needed to undertake together with the Zonal RRTs outbreak investigation for the confirmation of outbreaks and initiation of rapid response supporting for the control of diseases spread in the most remote and under served communities. The team will be established for the period of six months to cover the immediate emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality caused by conflict IDPs.

Emergency Nutrition Response for Host and Displaced Communities in Oromia and Ethiopia Somale region.
This project will respond to the nutritional needs of IDP and host communities in Kersa and Jarso woredas of Oromia National regional state, and Gursum, and Goljano, Fafen zone and Mayo Muluko of Errer zone Ethiopia Somali region. These woredas are affected by food insecurity, disease epidemic and conflict induced displacement. Continued drought and lack of clean water and food among IDPs and host communities has led to the development of both severe and moderate acute malnutrition among children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. In addition, the influx of IDPs into these woredas has put a strain on existing host community resources and health facility.
CARE proposes a six-month CMAM intervention to respond to the needs through building local capacity in terms knowledge and skill to implement CMAM and ensuring consistent availability of supplies by providing logistic support. The proposed project will also identify inaccessible sites and organize outreach nutrition services in order to reach remote seated commutes with appropriate CMAM services. CARE will also give particular focus on the IDPs located in four of the five proposed woredas and support full CMAM including regular screening and TSF.
Proposed areas of intervention have been discussed with the ENCU at Federal and Regional levels and they are among those prioritized with the coming allocation. This project plans to implement the following main activities
- Supporting health workers and health extension workers in the management of severe acute malnutrition which includes on-the-job coaching on IYCF-E promotion
- Supporting community mobilization screening, and implementation of supplementary feeding program (TSF)
-Supporting IDP camps with full CMAM establishment of regular screening and ensuring linkage of MAM and SAM cases to TSF and TFP.
-Out reach nutrition services
- Facilitating dialogues on Infant and Young Child Feeding in emergency (IYCF-E) and promotion of good nutrition practices
With this action, CARE plans to reach the following beneficiaries:
3793 children under 5 suffering from severe acute malnutrition (through OTP/SC)
7283 Children under five suffering from moderate acute malnutrition
4069 PLW suffering from moderate acute malnutrition
3793 caregivers/ mothers of children and PLW with MAM

An assessment conducted by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) indicates that as few as 8% of drought affected IDPs and 32% of conflict affected IDPs in the Somali region possess legal identity documents and that there is a limited understanding of the importance of such documents. In Ethiopia, legal documents are required to open a bank account, register a contract, enter into a legal marriage, for admission into educational institutions, and to pass through security checkpoints. Legal documents such as birth certificates also guard against the risk of statelessness, early marriage, child labour, and the risk of incarceration if juvenile offenders are unable to prove their age in court.
NRC will collaborate with government, local authorities in Dollo Zone (Warder, Danot, and Galladi Woredas), Fafan Zone (Awbare, Jigjiga, Harshin, and Kebribeyah Woredas), Erer Zone (Meyu Muluke Woreda) and Liben Zone (Fitu and Dekasuftu Woredas) to enhance the ability of IDPs to obtain legal identity documents. NRC’s activities will (1) ensure that IDPs are better informed about the importance of legal identity documents, and are able to obtain legal identity documents, through group information sessions, informational materials, mobile counselling, individualized assistance, and referral linkages with administrative units issuing documentation and (2) enhance understanding amongst authorities, community leaders, and humanitarian actors about the importance of legal documentation and ensure that the relevant actors are supported to issue documentation.

WASH Emergency Response in Babile Woreda of East Harraghe Zone, Oromia Region
The WASH Emergency Response in East Hararghe will target populations affected by twin crises of drought and IDP displacement due to civil conflict. The drought is part of a long-term trend in the region that is witnessing more frequent and longer duration droughts in recent years. The civil conflict has resulted in displacement of both Somali and Oromo people with some destruction of basic infrastructure in borderland communities. With the current conflicts, in Babile woreda alone, over 55,984 (male 27,427 and female 28,557) people have been displaced from Dere Arba, berkele, Gemechu, Abdulkadir, Lekole and Tulo Haro Kebeles. The woreda is still under a state of unrest and the influx is increasing. The people are settled in
1. Medresa and Haromaya university research camp (2 sites) with total people of 15,598
2. Mission compound and Woreda administration (2 sites) with total of 12,346
3. Primary and high school (2 sites) with a total of 12,900 and
4. The host community with total of 15,140 people in Dere arba,Tulu Haro, Berkele, Gemechu, Abdulkadir, and Lekole Kebeles
The influx of IDPs has increased the stress on existing water facilities, as they are now serving both host communities and displaced populations in Babile. The influx has also worsened environmental sanitation problems, particular excreta management, which puts host and IDP populations at elevated risk of infectious acute watery diarrhea. Most people are displaced from the above kebeles and existing schemes are damaged and needs rehabilitation.
The proposed project will improve access to water supply, improve environmental sanitation and hygiene behaviors for at risk populations in Babile. CRS and its longstanding partner, the Ethiopian Catholic Church and Social Development Coordinating office of Hararghe (ECC-SDCOH) will engage with woreda officials and local community leaders while also mobilizing the health Development Army and Health Extension Workers.The proposed project will target a population of 25,659 people, including both IDP and host communities in Babile woreda of East Hararghe. CRS and ECC-SDCOH will implementin locations in which both organizations have an active current presence through the USAID-Food for Peace funded Development Food Security Activity (DFSA).
The project aims to work
1. Distribute water through water trucking for IDPs in the Medresa and Haromaya IDP camp (15,598 IDPs) for 45 days followed by installation of 10 m3 Roto and distribution of water points, five distribution point at each camp.
2. Distribute 93,588 water chemicals (Sachet) for 3120 HHs of IDPS in Babile town
3. Drill three new shallow wells, one at Bishan Babile and two at Tulu Haro (Weltei and Hassan sites) for IDPs in the host community and host community.
4. Rehabilitation of nine existing shallow wells by replacing damaged hand pumps with new afridave pumps at, Berkele (Sali, Omer and Jango sites), Gemechu (Ali, Weday and Rewbere sites), Abdulkadir (Sela site), Lekole (Haji site) and Tulu Haro (Weltei site) for IDPS in the host community and host community.
5. The drilling and rehabilitation of boreholes will address the 15,140 IDPs in the host community.
6. Additionally, the project will replace the generator of a scheme at Dere Arba Kebele for IDPs and Host community.
7. Once the three new wells and 10 rehabilitated wells are completed, the project will provide management training to local WASH Committees.
As part of a hygiene promotion campaign the WASH response will also raise general awareness of the targeted 30,738 individuals through campaigns and hygiene promotion events. Targeted distribution of point of use water treatment chemicals and hygiene kits (soap, buckets, wash basin, jerrycans) will go to families who are considered most at risk of AWD due to their water source and excreta management facilities. The hygiene promotion campaign and distributions will be implemented through the HDA/HEW network.

Emergency WASH Response to Disaster affected population in Somali Region
The immediate funding priorities released in May 2018 placed a great emphasis on life saving interventions for conflict affected communities while also focusing on preparedness and durable solutions. This is also based on Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) 2018 objectives. This project directly links to this approach with the objective of reaching 62,724(10,732 Men, 11,616 Women, 20,103 Boys, 20,273 Girls) vulnerable displacement-affected populations in Oromia (East Guji), SNNP( Gedeo-Bule) and Somali ( Doolo zone, Liben -Deka Seftu) regions. The project has been designed with flexibility to respond to emerging needs since the situation is still fluid with IDPS movements. The main objective will be to ensure vulnerable displaced affected people have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services. This will not only provide access to humanitarian assistance but also contribute to durable solutions.
To achieve this objective, NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 6 months with flexibility to adjust in case of returns to the areas of origin. The rehabilitation works will be undertaken in 6 months to ensure proper testing and functionality before handover to the regional water bureaus and local communities This will be specifically be done through provision of water treatment chemicals, basic hygiene items like jericans, soap and buckets, construction of communal latrines with bathing amp hand washing facilities and promotion of adoption of positive hygiene practices. The project design has closely been coordinated with the WASH Cluster, regional and zonal authorities, and other operational partners in the targeted communities. This will ensure smooth implementation and complementarity as the needs are massive and will require concerted efforts to reduce possible disease outbreaks. Continuous monitoring will be undertaken in the implementation period to ensure all emerging trends are captured for the project to remain relevant to the ever evolving needs. Great community participation has been incorporated in the project design with emphasis to needs of women and children who form a great percentage of the displaced populations. This approach will continue in the project implementation and lessons learnt incorporated in future responses.

Emergency WASH response to displacement affected population in Gedeo and West Guji zones
This project is based on the immediate funding priorities released in August 2018 and revised in October 2018 which placed a great emphasis on life saving interventions for conflict affected communities mainly returnees and IDPs in West Guji and Gedeo zones while also focusing on preparedness and durable solutions. This is also based on Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) 2018 objectives. This project directly links to this approach with the objective of reaching 22,162 individuals (11,622F,10.540M) displacement-affected populations in West Guji and Gedeo zones. The main objective will be to ensure displacement affected people have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services. This will not only provide access to humanitarian assistance but also contribute to durable solutions.
To achieve this objective, NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 6 months with flexibility to adjust based on the returnees or new life threatening crises occurs. This will specifically be done through water systems rehabilitation as at exit strategy to water trucking or recovery of the returnees areas, construction of communal latrines with hand washing facilities, promotion of adoption of positive hygiene practices and distribution of essential WASH NFIs provided by UNICEF or Water bureau.The sites have been selected based on returnee population and also areas greatly affected by the displacement. The project design has closely been coordinated with the WASH Cluster, regional and zonal authorities, and other operational partners in the targeted communities. Specifically coordination has been done with MSF Spain, Oxfam, IOM, IRC and water bureau to establish the gaps and clear division of interventions. This will ensure smooth implementation and complementarity as the needs are massive and will require concerted efforts to reduce possible disease outbreaks like Acute watery diarrhoea (AWD). Continuous monitoring will be undertaken in the implementation period to ensure all emerging trends are captured for the project to remain relevant to the ever evolving needs. Great community participation has been incorporated in the project design with emphasis to needs of women and children who form a great percentage of the displaced populations. This approach will continue in the project implementation and lessons learnt incorporated in future responses.

Life Saving WaSH Response for Internally Displaced People (IDPs) and Hosting Communities at 4 Woredas in East and West Harerghe zones.
According to the 11th round of the Displacement Tracking Matrix, a joint Government and IOM-led displacement data collection exercise, there are over 1.77 million persons displaced in the country, located in over 1,000 sites. About 1.07 million persons are displaced and located in 439 sites following conflict between Somali and Oromo communities along the border separating the two regions. The crisis has placed significant strain on existing WASH infrastructure and practices, particularly in remote areas where IDPs have integrated into communities with already limited access to basic services. The safety and well-being of IDPs and host communities depends on effective and timely humanitarian intervention to meet urgent needs, including access to adequate safe water and sanitation, as well as hygiene promotion.
In response to this high need of improved WASH services, World Vision has planned the implementation of water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities for IDPs and hosting communities in 4 Woredas of East and West Hararge Zones, namely Jarso, Melka Belo, Habro and Tullo. World Vision selected this areas based on the WASH service need of the IDPs and hosting communities and due to its existence in all of the Woredas which will have impact on the cost effectiveness and timely response of the project.
The overall objective of these WASH interventions in this proposed areas is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to poor WASH service and protect and restore livelihoods by improving access to safe and adequate water supply to IDPs and hosting communities and improve knowledge of proper hygiene practice of the targeted communities. Improving the safe water access, sanitation and hygiene interventions will be implemented with the objective of delivering holistic WASH services to the community. The planned activities are Rehabilitation and repair of malfunction existing water supply system, construction of sanitation facilities and distribution of WASH NFI and water treatment chemicals along with hygiene and sanitation promotion activities.
Through this project World Vision has planned to address a total of 11,457 IDPs (3,551 Girls , 3,322 Boys , 2,405 Women and 2,179 Men) and 12,005 Hosting communities (3,722 Girls, 3,481 Boys, Women 2,521 Men 2,281) which makes the total beneficiaries of the project to be 23,462.

Life Saving Shelter and Non-food assistance for conflict and flood affected IDPs
The proposed intervention will provide life-saving assistance to 30250 internally displaced persons impacted by man-made disasters like inter communal conflict and natural and who are in critical need of shelter (emergency and transitional) and non-food items (NFI) in Ethiopia.
Natural disasters including flooding, drought, landslide and conflict are recurrent phenomena in most parts of Ethiopia. These disasters are major causes of displacement for large numbers of people and result in loss of human life and assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. According to the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) Round 12, conducted nationwide July/August 2018, 509,987 households (2,881,975 individuals) were displaced in various regions of Ethiopia. The highest rates of displacement are reported in Oromia (36%), Somali (35%) and SNNPR (22%) regions, respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict, climate induced shocks and other shocks.
As per ES/NFI cluster data, as of 04 July 2018 and out of the total caseload 312,246 households remain unassisted. Since the second week of July there has been significant response particularly in Gedeo- West Guji which effectively decreased the overall gap. But there have also been fresh displacements in Somali, Oromia and other regions due to conflict. With current needs exceeding the ES/NFI kits in stock and pipeline, the cluster is forced to prioritize its response, so that only a fraction of acute needs is currently met. Within the proposed EHF project, NRC will target 5000 HHs in Oromia, Somali and other regions through in kind and cash ES/NFI assistance. In addition, NRC will target 500 HHs in West Guji areas through construction of transitional shelters and provision of shelter repair kits.
The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following Cluster members: Norwegian Refugee Council(NRC), CARE, GOAL, CRS, Save the Children, ZOA and World Vision. NRC will target beneficiaries through a combination of in kind and cash interventions. Cash-based assistance will be provided in project locations where quality materials and skilled labour are available on the local market and can be purchased directly by beneficiaries. In a situation where the market is assessed to be not functional and/ or the authorities do not support cash intervention, NRC in coordination with the cluster will change the modality in to in kind intervention.
NRC has extensive experience in shelter and NFI interventions (both in kind and cash) and will use lessons learned from previous interventions to ensure quality programming. Under this project, NRC will provide life-saving Shelter and NFI assistance to 5500 Internally displaced HHs in Somali (37%), Oromia (45%), Oromia- West Guji(9%) and other regions(9%)priority locations. Exact areas of distribution and construction sites will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI Cluster members, recipients of this grant and in coordination with regional, zonal and local government authorities. People who have been internally displaced in 2018 due to conflict and/or natural disasters (mainly floods), and who are in critical need of Shelter and NFI will be prioritized.

Operational Support to the Health Emergency Response for IDPs in Oromia region
Disbursement of per diem payments for Oromia Regional Health Bureau (RHB) Health Workers (HW):
UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 100 HW deployed in remote, hotspot areas are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates (300 ETB per day). Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows HW the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, thus increasing the willingness of HW to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is a strong incentive to attract and retain them. To manage this process, a UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the Oromia RHB to assist with the planning of deployment of the HW and oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes in payments or delays.
Fleet management services for RHB allowing HW visit remote parts of the region:
UNOPS will assign vehicles (through service providers): eight 4x4s pickups. The vehicles will have drivers who are familiar with the region. In able to be rapidly respond to health emergencies, the HW need to be highly mobile. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, working with service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. The UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the Oromia RHB under this component for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams (this person will also oversee supply chain management services).

Integrated Emergency Shelter and NFI Response to Displacement Affected Communities in Somali Region, Liben and Dawa Zones
127,812 Households living in 308 IDP sites in Somali Region, are in urgent need of shelter and NFI assistance (HRDP 2018). ZOA’s proposed intervention targets 1,911 households (estimated 11,467 IDP persons) living in conflict and flood affected woredas of Dawa and Liben Zones of Somali Region. These families belong to the most vulnerable IDPs who live in makeshift buuls (Somali hut) without adequate access to NFIs. The shelter conditions are not in line with the minimum SPHERE standards.
Initially, rapid assessment will be conducted to identify the shelter and NFI needs and gaps of target groups. Based on the findings, ZOA intends to undertake construction of transitional Shelters for 320 households mostly through community and owner driven approaches that maximize beneficiary participation and local livelihoods opportunities. Selection of beneficiaries will involve IDP settlement and local community leaders, based on clear vulnerability-based criteria. Construction sites will be identified in collaboration with local land administration authorities and Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Bureau (DPPB). Local leaders, IDP Community representatives and local authorities will be trained on settlement planning and producing settlement plans. By doing so, proper site planning will be undertaken to ensure effective mitigation of hazards and reduce alarming congestion levels in target settlements. Thus, the vulnerability of target households resulting from the type of shelters they live in and interlinked conditions will be reduced including congestion, GVB cases and communicable diseases.
To verify the possible implementation option to address the NFI needs of 1591 target households rapid cash feasibility assessment will be conducted. Based on the finding, ZOA will follow a flexible intervention tool of either direct cash transfer or voucher system, and as a last resort in-kind distribution of the standard full NFI kits. Beneficiary selection will follow a need based and transparent approach. The distribution of NFI kits will have positive impact on the lives of vulnerable target groups especially women and speed up the recovery process. As women carry out most of the household chores, the items in the kit will lessen the burden of water storage, cooking, cleaning, sanitation and catering for overall household needs.
ZOA’s program delivery takes into consideration age, gender and diversity approach to ensure all beneficiaries within the targeted IDP communities in the two Zones participate in planning, implementation and monitoring of the program activities. Gender and protection will be mainstreamed in all program activities. In addition to this, ZOA will seek Integration with other partners on the ground to ensure complementarity and maximize efficiency of the response.

Mobile Health and Nutrition Response (MHNR) in two woredas of Gujji Zone and One woreda of Borena Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
In Oromia Region, Borena and West Guji Zones are targeted by the proposed project. The project targets two woredas in West Guji zone, Kercha and Hambela Wamena woredas with a total population of 342,204 Host communities and 101,379 conflict and drought IDPs. Borena zone has a total population of 962,489, of whom 487,024 are men and 475,465 women with an area of 45,434.97 square kilometers and the project targets one woreda Guchi with a population of 106,656 Host communities and 23,947 conflict IDPs.
All targeted woredas have been classified as P1 based on 2018 Meher assessment. Back to back droughts and border conflict lead to severe food insecurity situation that together with acute water shortage predispose the communities to outbreaks, increased malnutrition and illness. This project will facilitate access to conflict IDPs and drought affected population to basic health and nutrition service through the establishment of three mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNTs) in the three targeted woredas.The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 38,525 IDPs benefited from the consultations and treatment, routine vaccination, MCH care, SAM without complication care and supplementary feeding for MAM.The MHNTs are also responsible to report on regular bases to early warning weekly and HMIS on communicable disease alerts of outbreaks and when needed to undertake together with the Zonal RRTs outbreak investigation for the confirmation of outbreaks and initiation of rapid response supporting for the control of diseases spread in the most remote and under served communities. The team will be established for the period of six months to cover the immediate emergency needs aiming to reduce the avoidable mortality caused by conflict and drought IDPs and outbreaks.

Emergency Nutrition and IYCF Support for Communities in Miyo and Dillo in Borena and Gerarwa and Bedeno in Harrarge Zones, Oromia Region as well as Abergelie, Gazgibla, Ziquala and Sekota woredas in Amhara Region
AAH plans to implement emergency nutrition, IYCF and psychosocial support in 4 woredas Host community and 2 outreach woredas for IDP response in Oromia. The response would focus on emergency nutrition in priority 1 woredas in Borena and East Harargue zones (Miyo and Dillo), Bedeno, Girawa). AAH has been providing full CMAM support to these woredas since Jan 2016 through TSFP, CMAM, IYCF and Hygiene Promotion. Currently, due to border conflict between Oromo-Somali clan, 332,778 registered IDPs are sheltered in camps while some of IDPs are currently integrated into the Host community. The displacement will further worsen existing health and nutrition problems as well as humanitarian assistance. AAH uses CMAM support as a major approach and aims to address SAM and MAM for under 5 children and pregnant and lactating women, as well as training for HEWs, HWs, and FDAs. The IDP response will be put in place in woredas where there is high concentration of IDPs. Mobile Health/Nutrition Services will be provided for at least 3 months in Tulo and Messela to ensure regular disease surveillance to identify risk factors, monitor malnutrition pattern, and improve access and utilization through the provision of free outreach/mobile health and nutrition services with a focus on women and children. Tullo and Mesela Woredas will only have MHNT support for IDPs, whereas the Gerarwa and Bedeno (East Hararghe) and Miyo and Dillo (Borena) Woredas will have the full nutrition package and address the needs of the IDPs as outreach activities
Wag himera zone is one of the disaster prone areas of the Amhara region which is frequently challenged by recurrent drought, erratic rain fall and degraded land. Taking the zones situation into account, Action Against Hunger (AAH) has been supporting CMAM/TSFP response and care practices/IYCF Programme in collaboration with local governmental offices and other agencies. Action Against Hunger has been supporting CMAM activities in Abergelie, Gazgiblla, Sekota Zuria and Ziquala woredas since 2015. Currently, Action Against Hunger and its consortium members (SCI and DCA) are implementers of Wag himera cluster Resiliency building in Ethiopia (RESET II). AAH is also Supporting Abergelie, Gazgiblla, Sekota Zuria, and Ziquala Woredas’ CMAM activities until April 30, 2018. All woredas of the zone are still under priority 1. Thus, Action Against Hunger plans to continue CMAM and TSFP in Abergelie, Gazgiblla and Sekota and to include Sekota town as it has recorded an increasing number of caseload. In Ziquala woreda, which is 2nd Generation woreda, AAH will provide support in the SAM Management, community mobilization and capacity building.

Emergency nutrition response for drought affected pastoralist Community and IDPs in Godgod and Kohle woredas in Afdhere Zone, Somali Region, Ethiopia.
Ethiopia is entering a fourth year exceptional drought emergency and expected to continue facing a major food security emergency in 2018, as the impacts of poor rainfall in 2016/17, and also expected below-average rainfall in the first half of 2018, and large-scale conflict-related displacement drive continued humanitarian assistance needs. Sustained, large-scale emergency assistance – including food, nutrition, and WASH aid – is needed, particularly in Somali Region, to prevent extreme levels of food insecurity, acute malnutrition, and excess mortality (FEWS NET Alert March/2018).
Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions in Ethiopia that is located in the north eastern and south eastern part of the country. The population of the region is estimated at 5,748,998 (CSA, 2014) out of which 46 percent are females and the remaining 54 percent are males. The Average household size in the region is 6.6. The rural population of the region is estimated to be 85%. The region is predominantly pastoralists and the livelihood activities are dependent on the livestock, natural resource and vulnerable to persistent drought and climate shock.
The two target woredas (Godgod and Kohle) that are identified for emergency nutrition intervention are located in the remotest part of Afdhere administrative zone and they are the most affected woredas and they have been classified as priority one hot spot for emergency and humanitarian response. In most of the pastoral area and lowland, hundreds of thousands of people have been rendered destitute by two years of consecutive drought and continuing acute food insecurity, malnutrition and water shortages. As of the recent past, the situation has been exacerbated by the impact of La Nina on spring rains. In the absence of good rains and recovery opportunities, the multi-sector humanitarian response operation established over the course of 2017 will need to be sustained well into 2018 (HDRP, 2018).
IRE’s presence within the humanitarian support and emergency response operation in Godgod and Kohle woredas, in Afdhere zone, through the implementation of mobile health and nutrition response that were financed by WFP and now intended to strengthen the ongoing emergency nutrition response operation intervention.

Emergency Mobile Health and Nutrition Services in Four woredas of Somali Region and Five woredas of Bale Zone, Oromia Region
Save the Children proposes to implement 10 Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) to enhance access to quality, lifesaving health and acute malnutrition management services in 9 woredas of Somali and Oromia regions, benefiting 51,457 people (36,093 IDPs). The proposed woredas are classified as priority one hotspots affected by prolonged drought including Hudet, Moyale, Mubarek and Babile woredas of Somali region and Dawa Kachen, Lega Hida, Rayitu, Gura Damole and Sawena woredas of Bale Zone, Oromia region. MHNTs will deliver general medical consultation and referrals, IMNCI services, ANC and postnatal follow-ups, referral care for deliveries, immunization and Vitamin-A supplementation, early warning and disease surveillance, and trauma care and referral services. Women and children, vulnerable groups including IDPs, the elderly and people with disabilities, and those suffering from acute malnutrition, will be prioritized for services. Of the 74 kebeles hosting IDPs in the 9 proposed woredas, 40 kebeles have an estimated 193,248 IDPs suffering from poor access to lifesaving, preventive and curative health services. Additionally, DTM indicates that access to basic health care services for women and children has been a significant challenge with more than half (61%) of child births attended outside health facilities and most children with limited access to lifesaving immunization (lt60% measles coverage rate). MHNTs proposed under this project will fill these critical service gaps and link with static health services where available. Targeting of beneficiaries and site selection will be carried out in close coordination with local government and community representatives through the formation of community committees. The daily operations of MHNT services will be coordinated with relevant Woreda Health Offices to ensure that exceptionally vulnerable groups are served.

Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) Response in Moyale and Hudet Woredas of Dawa Zone in Somali Region
The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia remains extreme where the country is entering a fourth year of consecutive exceptional drought emergency. In the year 2017, severe drought conditions continued in lowland, mostly pastoral areas, rendering thousands of individuals destitute and displaced. Additional humanitarian needs have also arisen due to conflict, with 857,000 Ethiopians displaced over the past year around the border areas of Oromia and Somali regions (HDRP, 2018). According to 2018 HDRP, around 6.86 million people need immediate WASH assistance in the year 2018, of which 1.81 million are in the Somali region. Hence, the proposed project aims to improve access to safe water and sanitation through emergency/ lifesaving WASH interventions, and enhance better hygiene keeping practices in Moyale and Hudet Woredas. Save the Children plans to reach 62,509 including internally displaced people with emergency water trucking service –a survival allocation of 5 liters/person/day for a total of 60 days. Although previous experience shows that the dry season could continue until the month of November/December where surface water will be scarce due to the limited budgeting, Save the Children will only be able to deliver water for two months. Hence, the start date for water distribution will be decided based on data provided by the affected communities, assessments by the WASH cluster partners and SC, and the local Water Bureau. The project will also increase access to communal latrines and encourage hand-washing with soap through the construction of 23 emergency temporary communal latrine blocks of 6 pits with hand washing facilities in priority locations. Finally, the beneficiaries of the water trucking services and nearby communities will be sensitized on hygiene promotion measures with a focus on proper hand washing with soap (HWWS), safe waste and excreta disposal and HH Water Treatment and safe Storage (HWTS) and a targeted 17.74% of them (1,578 families) will receive a hygiene kit.

Emergency Nutrition Response in Fourteen Woredas of Oromia, SNNP and Somali Regions of Ethiopia
Save the Children proposes provision of lifesaving, emergency nutrition services benefiting 193,158 beneficiaries (37,295 IDPs) to reduce morbidity and mortality of infants, young children and pregnant and lactating women in drought-affected and conflict-induced communities of SNNP, Oromia, and Somali regions of Ethiopia. Target locations include the following priority 1 hotspot woredas by region: SNNP (Alle, Konso, Dasenech, Hamer and Gnangatom), Oromia (Lega Hida, Gura Damole, Dawe Kachen, Rayitu, Sawena), and Somali (Hudet, Higoley, Bodaley, Lasdankyre). The proposed project will prevent, detect and treat acute malnutrition through Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) including Therapeutic Feeding (TF) in all target regions and Targeted Supplementary Feeding (TSF) for moderately malnourished children 6 to 59 months old and malnourished PLW in Oromia and Somali regions. The project will support prevention of acute malnutrition through improvement of optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergency (IYCF-E) practices for infants and young children under 24 months and support the nutritional needs of pregnant and lactating women (PLW). In line with the 2018 Ethiopian Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), the proposed project will deliver a full-spectrum emergency nutrition intervention including prevention, treatment, management, community mobilization and case identification, and key capacity building for Regional Health Bureaus and health workers to achieve and sustain impact. Exceptionally vulnerable women and children in drought-affected and conflict induced communities will be prioritized for services.

Addressing the Protection Needs of Most Vulnerable Drought and Conflict Affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Three Woredas of Oromia National Regional State
The project address the protection needs of conflict and drought affected internally displaced persons (IDPs) in three Woredas of Oromia region through facilitating protection monitoring and referral support by mobile protection teams. The project will establish two new Mobile Protection Teams (MPTs) operating in three selected priority one Woredas. Each team will be composed of five persons (Child protection expert, GBV expert, General Protection expert, representative from Woreda women and children affairs office, and a driver) to monitor the protection situation of IDPs and affected host communities. These mobile protection teams will also be sensitized on age and disability mainstreaming before initiating their work in the field. The MPT will undertake all-inclusive protection monitoring, i.e. monitoring of all age, disability and vulnerability groups of IDPs and assess their protection risks, and conduct continuous service mapping and referral pathways, identification and response to community-level protection concerns, referral and response to individual protection cases through the already constructed safe spaces and community based protection mechanism, and cluster reporting. The teams will operate in three Hotspot Woredas: Jarso Woreda in East Hararghe zone and Moyale and Arero Woredas in Borana zone of Oromia national regional state. The project will also strengthen existing MPTs in Guchi and Wachile Woredas of Borena zone and Babile and Kersa/Gursum Woredas of East Harage zone of Oromia National Regional State.

Improving safety, protection and access to essential services for conflict affected IDPs in Kercha Woreda, West Guji Zone, Oromia regional State
In April 2018, inter-communal violence along the borders of Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia region) zones led to large-scale displacements, damage to property, including public infrastructure, and the loss of life. According to the latest data, more than 800,000 people are estimated to have been displaced as a result of the violence. Displaced individuals have tended to seek protection with relatives and in collective centers. To date, humanitarian assistance, including protection assistance, has been limited. Most assistance has been provided by local authorities and hosting communities, both of which have limited resources and capacity to meet the increasing needs of the displaced. In response to this situation, DRC proposes an intervention to both enhance the protective environment of the most in-need collective centers settlements in Kercha woreda, West Guji zone, while simultaneously assisting the most vulnerable to meet their most basic needs.
DRC will address the acute protection needs experienced by the most vulnerable and at risk conflict displaced populations by working towards the overall project objective “Ensuring enhanced safety, protection and access to essential services for the conflict affected IDPs in West Guji, Oromia Region”, with the following desired outcomes:
Outcome 1: The most vulnerable and at-risk internally displaced people (IDPs), including women, children, persons with special needs and the elderly, have enhanced access to protection services and psychosocial support. DRC will monitor the humanitarian needs and protection concerns throughout the duration of the project sharing the protection analysis conducted with the Protection cluster and as appropriate with other service providers in order to inform about the needs and threats in the selected sites. In response to the emergency needs identified DRC will provide material support to address basic needs for the most vulnerable or at risk individuals and by establishing safe spaces where the communities can meet and receive information and psychosocial support. To mitigate or prevent exposure to protection risks DRC will provide Individual protection assistance on a case-by-case basis based on an in depth assessment of the protection risk..
Outcome 2: Local stakeholders’ capacity to identify and respond to protection cases is enhanced. DRC will establish and train Community based protection committees in the intervention sites where they don’t exist, in order to identify and respond to protection cases and provide community level psychosocial support. Specialized trainings on case management, psychosocial support and protection mainstreaming will be provided in order to built the capacities of the local duty-bearers to be able to respond effectively and in a dignified manner to the most vulnerable or at risk IDPs. DRC is additionally going to assist by facilitating workshops to establish referral pathways where those don’t exist. In order to prevent future protection risks, the CBPC will be trained and supported to conduct awareness raising sessions on identified risks and services

Life-Saving Integrated Humanitarian Assistance for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Ethiopia
The proposed intervention will provide life-saving Non-Food Items (NFIs), including Emergency Shelter (ES), as well as Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) assistance to conflict induced internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia Region) and Somali Region of Ethiopia.Priority locations identified for assistance by the Shelter/NFI Cluster planning meeting on 5 July 2018, include Guchi, Moyale, Dawe Serar and Sewena.) In addition, this intervention will provide Site Management Support (SMS) to facilitate improved service delivery and increase the local authorities’ options for addressing protection concerns in collective centres, planned sites and temporary settings.
Continued insecurity and ongoing localized inter-communal conflict between Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia Region) communities have led to the rapid displacement of over 800,000 individuals resulting in loss of assets, disruption of livelihoods and damage to basic services and infrastructure. In early June, increased violence, further aggravated the situation resulting in more being displaced and hindering both the return of IDPs to areas of origin as well as the movement of humanitarian assistance operations.
The IOM project will work in Gedeo (SNNPR) and West Guji (Oromia) for all components (SMS, WASH and ES/NFI).The Shelter/NFI component will additionally provide assistance in other zones of Oromia Region as well as the Somali Region.
The proposed intervention responds to three Cluster priorities as follows:
- Protection Cluster / Site Management Support (SMS): Providing Site Management Support to local, and national authorities to ensure equitable access to assistance and protection for IDPs living in collective sites, carry out site improvement activities to increase safety and dignity, as well as develop capacity of key stake holders working in the collective sites response. The intervention will prioritize critical 25 collective sites in Gedeo (SNNPR) and in West Guji (Oromia), in coordination with local authorities, clusters, and other stakeholders.
- Emergency Shelter/NFI: IOM will procure and transport 13,400 NFI kits for ES/NFI cluster agencies to distribute on site, at no additional cost to EHF. These kits will reach approximately 73,700 individuals in 13,400 households. Particularly, a total of 7,000 households will receive in kind ES/NFI kits in Gedeo 3,200 households in additional zones of Oromia and 3,200 households in Somali Region. Kits will be be procured and transported by IOM while distribution will be carried out by cluster partner agencies. In addition to this, 615 shelter kits will be distributed through implementing partners to support shelter recovery processes , together with construction of 10 Communal shelters.
- WASH: IOM will provide life-saving WASH interventions to support 50,000 IDPs in Gedeo (Gedeb Woreda) and West Guji (Kerca Woreda ), with a focus on Gebeb Woreda (Gedeo) and Kerca Woreda (West Guji), as to minimize the likelihood of disease (AWD) outbreaks and other transmissible diseases due to poor sanitation and hygiene conditions. This intervention is in line with the WASH sectorial prioritization done in May 2018 (Annexed),and takes into consideration the major gaps highlighted in the Ethiopia - Immediate Humanitarian Funding Priorities - 24 May 2018 (Annexed) as well as considering the pressing humanitarian needs on ground.

Emergency Nutrition Response Project in West Guji Zone of Kercha and Hambela Wamena Woredas in Oromia Region
In the last few months internal displacement due to conflict and ethnic tensions has increased in Oromia Region. It is remembered that, due to ethnic and border related issues hundreds of thousands of Oromo Region, West Guji Zone communities were displaced due to the conflict with Gedio Zone, SNNPR. During times of conflict water and food availability are increasingly scarce with insufficient food, immunity is compromised and threatens the survival of these at risk groups. Curative measures for addressing severe acute malnutrition are essential to prevent mortality associated with malnutrition.
The integrated CMAM project will provide support to IDPs and host communities in underserved areas affected by conflict of Kercha and Hambela Wamena West Guji Zone, Oromia Region. The emergency response mechanism through Community Based Management of Acute malnutrition (CMAM) will saves the lives of vulnerable groups (Children under five years and Pregnant and Lactating Women). Timely addressing severe acute malnutrition further stops deterioration into complicated severe acute malnutrition. Those community members are in need of emergency humanitarian support in all aspects especially nutrition interventions which are recommended by the respective regional, Zonal stakeholders and multi agency teams. This project will provide immediate lifesaving assistance in response to food insecurity for IDP community and host communities through addressing the immediate causes of malnutrition by offering the much needed critical acute malnutrition curative services. The project will also link with other government routine health services and partner projects to prevent future relapses. Therefore, the project will create synergies for stronger complementarily, integration and sustainability and strengthen CMAM services in the existing facility in a way that will safe guard against malnutrition for vulnerable groups in the future. The project will improve access for life saving critical basic services for highly vulnerable groups, specifically children under five children, Pregnant and Lactating Women in Oromia region, West Guji Zone of Kercha and Hambela Wamena Woredas IDPs and Host communities. The goal of the project is to contribute reduce mortality and morbidity in related to malnutrition, improves access to lifesaving nutrition interventions for the most vulnerable populations notably under five children and pregnant and lactating women, establish/strength multi sectoral coordination for the management and response of malnutrition, increase the awareness of the community on malnutrition regardless of their nutritional status through IYCF-E, and Health and Nutrition counseling for both IDPs and Host Communities. These Woredas need support technically and logistically for system strengthening and to deliver proper CMAM services. The CMAM project also will be considered Gender balance when recruiting staff for this project and most of the technical support for program will be provided to HEWs who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. The Project target numbers are planned by reviewing the current screening of both IDPs and Host Communities of the target areas due to unavailable of regular admission trend and screening data.
The proposed project will reach the below estimated beneficiaries
1,050 of children under five years with Sever Acute Malnutrition
9,856 of children age 6-59 months with Moderate Acute Malnutrition
4,500 moderately malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs)
3,500 women of reproductive age and men will receive maternal and child nutrition education

Integrated Emergency WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), Nutrition and Shelter Response in Ethiopia, Oromia region, East Harerghe zone: Chinakson, Gursum, Gola oda, Midegatola, Fedis, Babile, Meyu and Kumbi woredas.
Two successive years of below average rainfall in lowland areas of Ethiopia have left hundreds of thousands of people from pastoral and agro pastoral population destitute and in need of humanitarian assistance. In 2017/18. Ethiopia has been seen a significant increase of its IDP population. In year 2018, about 1.5 Million people displaced due to conflict, drought, and floods. According to 2018 HDRP 1 million individuals of the IDP caseload displaced due to conflict, 528,000 individuals are climate-change induced IDPs displaced by drought, and floods. The displaced community require multi-sector support to address immediate needs to save lives.
According to the 2018 HDRP, (Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan document) people will encounter a lack of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene promotion to protect them from WASH related diseases. The critical needs for WASH services provision in terms of quality and quantity has been identified as a severe gap in the targeted IDPs and drought affected woredas. In the targeted Woredas, the low WASH (water and sanitation coverage), limited number of functioning and accessible water sources of safe water, poor condition of sanitation facilities, and hygiene practice increases the risk for WASH-related diseases. In addition, as per the gender roles women and girls are required to travel larger distances (often over 5 kms) for water collection from unsafe water sources (rivers and ponds), which has increased the vulnerability for WASH related disease spread, AWD and protection challenges. The critical water shortage
International Medical Corps will cover under this second round allocation uncovered woredas in Nutrition WASH and Shelter. International Medical Corps covered six of eight most affected woredas under Nutrition in the first round allocation, Namely: Chinakson, Fedis, Gursum, Gola Oda, Midegaola and Babile). Similarly, International Medical Corps covered three woredas under WASH program in East Harerghe Meyu, Kumbi and Chinakson. International Medical Corps will cover under Nutrition program in Kumbi and Meyu which has significant number of IDP and malnutrition cases. Whilst WASH program proposed to cover and complement the ongoing Nutrition and health programs, and address the most critical needs of displaced community due to the current conflict and drought affected community in Gursum, Midegatola, Babile Gola Oda, and Fedis to cover a total population of 39990 IDPS and host community.
Similarly, International Medical Corps plan to support on Shelter items for those displaced on recent conflict (in June 2018) between Oromia and Somali in three East Harerghe woredas. International Medical Corps will support for the most vulnerable displaced 1098 households in total (Gursum 480, Chinakson 290, and Babile 328 households). The target beneficiaries will be prioritized for disabled, elderly people and women headed family with children to cover 5490 individuals and Nutrition program 38995 individuals children, pregnant and lactating mothers, women under two children.

Riverine Fodder Production for pastoralists in three woredas (Cheretti, Hargelle and Dolo Bay) of Afder Zone, Somali Regional State
Somali Region is one of the four major pastoral regions in Ethiopia that is located in the north eastern and south eastern part of the country. The population of the region is estimated at 5,748,998 (CSA, 2014) out of which 46 percent are females and the remaining 54 percent are males. The Average household size in the region is 6.6. The pastoral population of the region is estimated to be 85% and their livelihood activities are dependent on the livestock and natural resources.
The three target woredas (Cheretti, Hargelle and Dolo Bay) identified for riverine fodder production are located in the Afdhere administrative zone and they are the most food insecure and poverty stricken woredas that have been classified as priority one hot spot for emergency and humanitarian response. In these pastoral areas, several people have been at the mercy consecutive drought and continuing acute food insecurity and malnutrition. To make their situation worse, the conflict that happened along the Somali-Oromia boundary exacerbated their livelihoods of the households by depleting their livelihood assets including their livestock.
Through this project IR will respond to the urgent needs in agriculture/livestock by supporting the vulnerable pastoralist to involve in the Riverine Fodder Production and meet their food insecurity and household income. The project implementation will be facilitated through the emergency project team operating at Afdher coordination office.

WASH Project targeting conflict-affected IDPs in Dawe Serer and Rayitu Woredas in Bale Zone
Following the conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that escalated in October 2017, massive displacement of people occurred into woredas bordering the two regional states. Internally displaced people (IDPs) have settled in several woredas in Bale zone. In July 2018, Oromia WASH cluster identified priority 1 woredas of Oromia region including Dawe Serer from Bale zone as priority woreda for WASH interventions in the IDP sites. Dawe Serer woreda hosts one of the largest IDP populations with 9,559 IDPs. Hantutu IDP site in Dawe Serer woreda hosts 1194 IDP households or 7,538 individuals (3,364 m, 4,174 f). In addition, Rayitu woreda is one of the other woredas in Bale zone where a significant number of IDPs are hosted. However, due to its poor access roads and its distance from urban centers, the IDPs in Dawe Serer remained largely inaccessible. In July 2018, the Oromia WASH cluster identified provision of water to the IDPs and host communities through alternatives to water trucking (durable pipe solution) and rehabilitation of existing water supply schemes as key activities. Accordingly, a non-functional borehole in Wuchiro kebele in Rayitu woreda which is found in close proximity to 682 IDPs and 1775 host communities has been identified by the Woreda Water Office for rehabilitation.
Hence, this project is designed to respond to WASH needs of the IDPs in Hantutu site of Dawe Serer and Wuchiro site of Rayitu Woreda. The project will carry-out construction of 38 blocks of emergency communal latrines with hand washing facilities and WASH NFIs together with hygiene promotion to reach 7,538 IDPs (3,364 m, 4,174 f) in Dawe Serer Woreda. LWF will also work to rehabilitate a community pond close to Hantutu site expanding its holding capacity from 2000M3 to 12000m3 and improving water accessibility for the 7,538 (3,364 m, 4,174 f) IDPs and 3846 (1938 male, 1908 female) host community members. Additionally, in Rayitu woreda, the project also plans to rehabilitate Wuchiro borehole to reach a total of 682 IDPs (417 m, 265 f) and 1775 (905 m, 870 f) host communities i. 38 blocks of latrines with 152 stalls (4 stalls per block) will be constructed to serve 7,538 IDPs. As per the recommendations of the Country WASH cluster, the number of persons per communal latrine block is 200 (50 individual per stall). All sanitation and hygiene promotion activities will be conducted in Hantutu site in Dawe Serer woreda while water supply will be conducted in both Dawe Serer and Rayitu woredas through pond and borehole rehabilitation respectively. The borehole rehabilitation, including generator and switchboard rehabilitation, will be conducted in Wuchiro IDP site in Rayitu woreda.

Emergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) assistance to vulnerable children and their families affected by the inter-communal conflict in Bule and Gedeb Woredas of Gedio Zone in SNNP Region
Renewed violence along the border areas of Gedeo and West Guji zones since early June 2018 has led to the displacement of over 642,152 IDPs in Gedeo zone of SNNPR region and 176,098 IDPs in West Guji zone of Oromia region. According to the 2018 Gedeo and Guji IDP Response Plan document, an estimated 818,000 IDPs in Gedeo and Guji zone are in need of emergency WASH assistance for the next six months. To meet the urgent humanitarian needs and provide emergency WASH services to these IDPs, the WASH cluster requires $20.51m USD.
Save the Children proposes to deliver WASH lifesaving support to IDP’s in Bule and Gedeb woredas of Gedeo zone in SNNPR Region. The interventions are based on the recent WASH cluster response plan documents, Government Response Plan and the proposed activities are part of the WASH cluster priority. The proposed activities are gender and age sensitive, to ensure the needs of different groups are met in way that respect the local culture and dignity of affected families and their children. Hence, the proposed project aims to improve access to safe water and sanitation through emergency/ lifesaving WASH interventions, and enhance better hygiene keeping practices in Gedeb and Bule Woredas. Save the Children plans to reach 112,295 including internally displaced people with emergency water trucking service –a survival allocation of 5 liters/person/day for a total of 50 days. The project will also increase access to communal latrines and encourage hand-washing with soap through the construction of 51 emergency trench latrine blocks of 7 pits with hand washing facilities in priority locations. Additionally, the beneficiaries of the water trucking services and nearby communities will be sensitized on hygiene promotion measures with a focus on proper hand washing with soap (HWWS), safe waste and excreta disposal and HH Water Treatment and safe Storage (HWTS). Of the total targeted beneficiaries 5,078 families will receive a hygiene and dignity kit.

Emergency Shelter/NFI Response in Sewena and Legahida Woredas of Bale Zone, Oromia Region, Ethiopia
The ongoing humanitarian situation of conflict affected IDPs in Oromia and Somali regions has remained critical due to an upsurge in conflict around the border areas between the two regions. On 6th September, armed conflict broke out along the Somali/Oromia regional border, affecting current Save the Children areas of operation including, Moyale and Hudet Woredas of Sitti Zone in Somali Region, and Bale Zone in the Oromia Region. The conflict displaced thousands of households in Oromia and Ethiopian Somali regions. According to the recent displacement matrix (DTM R11 data), it is estimated that 161,000 HHs (1,029,000 people) (700,000 in Oromia and 329,000 in Somali) have been displaced due to the border conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that started in April 2017 and escalated in late September 2017.
The statistics from the recent Shelter cluster update indicates, out of the total 21,877 IDP Households hosted in Bale, only 4,900 (22%) IDP Households received emergency shelter support. To meet the immediate ES/NFI needs of IDP and improve their health status, Save the Children intends to distribute Standard Full Kits, Emergency Shelter and Non-food items including (2 Plastic sheeting / tarpaulin, 1 Rope, 2 Blankets, Kitchen Set (3 Plate Metal, 3 Cup, 1 Kettle or Jug, 1 Cooking pots, 1 Cooking Ladle) and Hygiene kit (1 Washing basin 2 Jerry cans and 10 Soaps per House Holds). The project will support 2,300 IDP households (this is roughly estimated to be 13,800 individuals based on the average number of individuals in a given household which is 6). A total of 2,300 IDP households in Sewena and Legahidha Woredas of Bale Zone will be supported by this project.
As one of the leading nongovernmental organizations working to help and protect the country’s most vulnerable children and their families, Save the Children through this project will work to ensure mainstreaming of Child Protection/child safeguarding and coordinate with government bodies and partners to enable them mainstream CP. This will help to ensure our intervention do not harm children, and is in line with their best interest. Save the Children will orient all staffs and volunteers involved during project implementation on prevention of sexual abuse, exploitation and child safeguarding, including referral pathways and how to identify child protections cases of abuse and ways to refer them, work with communities to ensure that vulnerable children (such as unaccompanied minors) can also access the services.

Emergency WASH Response to Disaster affected population in Somali Region
The immediate funding priorities released in August 2018 placed a great emphasis on life saving interventions for conflict affected communities while also focusing on preparedness and durable solutions. This is also based on Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) 2018 objectives. This project directly links to this approach with the objective of reaching 77,247 individuals (13,486 Men, 15,434 Women, 247,26 Boys, 23,601 Girls) vulnerable displacement-affected populations in Somali region. 18,873 individuals will be in Dollo Ado woreda (DTM Site IDs-SO232,SO505,SO652,SO664), 25,142 in Deka Seftu woredas (SO274, SO277,SO279,SO612,SO654) both in Liben zone and the remaining 33,232 in Qoloji I IDP camp (SO258) in Babile woreda, Fafan zone. The main objective will be to ensure vulnerable displaced affected people have increased equal and sustained access to reliable safe water, appropriate sanitation and hygiene services. This will not only provide access to humanitarian assistance but also contribute to durable solutions.
To achieve this objective, NRC will focus lifesaving interventions for 6 months apart from the water supply which will be done for 9 months with flexibility to adjust in case of returns to the areas of origin or new life threatening crises occurs. This will specifically be done through water systems rehabilitation, basic hygiene items like soap, construction of communal latrines with hand washing facilities and promotion of adoption of positive hygiene practices. Filled up communal latrines will be desludged or decommissioned depending on the pit stability. Proper disinfection measures will be put in place. The water supply systems rehabilitation works will be undertaken in 9 months to ensure proper testing and functionality before handover to the regional water bureaus and local communities. The project design has closely been coordinated with the WASH Cluster, regional and zonal authorities, and other operational partners in the targeted communities. This will ensure smooth implementation and complementarity as the needs are massive and will require concerted efforts to reduce possible disease outbreaks. Continuous monitoring will be undertaken in the implementation period to ensure all emerging trends are captured for the project to remain relevant to the ever evolving needs. Great community participation has been incorporated in the project design with emphasis to needs of women and children who form a great percentage of the displaced populations. This approach will continue in the project implementation and lessons learnt incorporated in future responses.

Operational Support to the Health Emergency Response in Amhara, Ethiopian Somali, Oromia, and SNNP regions
Disbursement of per diem payments for Regional Health Bureau (RHB) Health Workers (HW) in Amhara, Ethiopian Somali, Oromia, and SNNP regions:
UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that on a monthly basis 660 HW deployed in remote, hotspot areas are paid per diem in accordance with Ministry of Health (MoH) rates . Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, reducing logistic and time costs. It allows HW the option to receive per diem from mobile money agents located close to their areas of deployment, which is more convenient than banks, thus increasing the willingness of HW to work in remote areas. Mobile payment is a strong incentive to attract and retain them. To manage this process, a UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in all regions to assist with the planning of deployment of the HW and oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes in payments or delays.
Fleet management services for RHB allowing HW visit remote/hotspot parts of the Amhara, Ethiopian Somali, Oromia, and SNNP regions:
UNOPS will assign 33 vehicles (SUVs) by using service providers. The vehicles will have drivers who are familiar with the region. In able to be rapidly respond to health emergencies, the HW need to be highly mobile. UNOPS will manage the vehicles, working with service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service. The UNOPS Operations Associate will work from the RHB in all regions under this component for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles, and facilitating the planning and deployment of the response teams (this person will also oversee supply chain management services).
Supply chain management services to deliver supplies in support of response efforts in Amhara, Ethiopian Somali, Oromia, and SNNP regions :
UNOPS will deploy five trucks to enable the RHB, UN and NGO partners to deliver supplies across the regions. These vehicles will deliver health, WaSH, and nutrition supplies from regional capitals to zonal logistics hubs for onward delivery to end-users in woredas and kebeles. To manage this process, a fleet management Operations Associate will work from the RHB in to manage the supply chain component (as well as the SUV vehicles).
To ensure operational flexibility to address health emergencies as they rise, part of the resources are not budgeted to any specific region and will be allocated to other regions based on operational needs.

Emergency Cash Program for Rehabilitation of returnees in Gedeo- Zone
According to the Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP), Ethiopia is still struggling to get out of the consecutive humanitarian crisis caused by different factors that ranged from natural disaster to manmade conflict which has resulted in massive livestock loss and massive displacements in several parts of the country. More than 7.8 million people are dependent on direct food assistance, while an additional 3.6 million people are supported through public works under the Productive Safety Nets Programme (PSNP).
When it comes to the case of recent unprecedented inter-communal conflict in Gedo and West Guji zones created surge of internal displacement, which at its height displaced some 818,000 people. According to DMT Round 12, there are 603,703 IDPs in both zones and those IDPs continue to return to their areas of origin.
Due to the government led massive return program, the humanitarian need now has shifted from life-saving to rehabilitation. Based on the current need assessment which prioritizes durable shelter solutions, this project is designed to enable returnees from west Guji and within Gedeo to reconstruct their destroyed houses through cash amp voucher based intervention. This project will provide access to durable shelter materials using cash amp vouchers as a modality, to enable targeted households repair and replace roofing of their damaged houses that were looted and burned.
According to Gedeo zonal administration and zonal DRMC office’s priority, Gedeb woreda needs such rehabilitation interventions where there are 57643 (30262 male and 27381female) returnees from West Guji and within Gedeo to the woreda and there are a total of 3888 houses destroyed. If needed World vision is willing to readjust project location based on further discussion with the government and emergency operation center based on severity of existing needs.
Targeting criteria will be set to prioritize the neediest hhs and this will be done in collaboration with local authorities, EOC and returnee representatives. Accordingly the project will prioritize pregnant and lactating women, children headed households, female headed households. These are the returnees whose houses are burned, properties are destroyed and whose entire livelihood is distorted. Even though they are in their place of origin they cannot stay in their homes even when walls, foundations etc are structurally sound. Providing roofing material means that families currently either staying with relatives or in other inadequate shelter, could quickly make their homes safe and habitable.
Due to the shortage of the resources at hand, prioritization will be mandatory. As a result 583 HHs (3498 returnees) will be selected out of the entire returnees in Gedeb woreda and those selected households will access basic durable shelter construction inputs through vouchers from identified suppliers where they receive basic durable shelter NFIS like CGI sheeting and nail through restricted cash and Voucher modality so that they can rebuild their damaged and burnet houses. This cash based intervention modality is designed to be implemented through restricted cash transfer approach which makes use of card vouchers to ensure returnees utilize the money for the intended purpose. Vouchers can be redeemed for a wide variety of durable shelter NFIs in the shops that can be existing capable shops around the returnee areas or temporary set up by traders from Dilla town at the returnee sites as the beneficiaries cannot travel to the town as they will incur additional expense for transportation. The Traders will be identified and contracted by WV, using robust selection criteria with the primary focus on the capacity of the shop to supply a wide range of preferred construction materials. The total number of hhs that benefit from this project are 583 and they will receive cash value of Iron sheet, nail and skilled labor and the value for these is calculated to be 9250ETB ($336).

Emergency Seed and Livestock response to save lives and livelihoods of drought affected pastoral and agro-pastoral communities in three zones and 5 woredas (Assayita, Dalfagi, Dewe, Teru and Yalo,) of Afar region
Ethiopia has not yet fully recovered from the consecutive drought that resulted in massive livestock loss in pastoral and crop failure in the agro-pastoral areas of the previous years. The Ethiopia Humanitarian and Disaster Resilience Plan (HDRP) for 2018 seeks US$1.66 billion to reach 7.88 million people with emergency food/cash. In addition, 3.4 million households are in need of livestock support, 3.5 million moderately malnourished children and pregnant and breastfeeding women and 350,000 severely malnourished children are expected to require emergency nutrition support.
The 2018 Belg/ Sugum rain in Afar region is characterized by late onset averagely by a month over most parts of the region, erratic nature, very low coverage, small in amount and high variation in temporal and spatial distribution. As result, the livestock body condition in most of the woredas according to 2018 belg report was poor. The assessment reports indicates that Gewane in Zone 3, Teru in zone 4 and Dalifage in zone 5 are the most highly affected woredas. Likewise, crop production in Sugum season was highly constrained by the poor Belg/Sugum rain, reduced volume of rivers, absence of floodwater from Amhara and Tigray highlands and the invasion of FAW.
Protection of core-breeding and milking livestock through provision of supplementary animal feed, animal health services and provision crops seed to areas where crop production has reduced will ensure milk availability for children, protect key livelihood assets and ultimately improve food security and nutrition outcomes for the vulnerable households.
The planned interventions include:
(i) Provision of emergency seeds and capacity building on Integrated Pest management: this will enhance the agricultural production of the households that are affected by the poor production/failure from the previous harvest season, depleting seed reserves and have poor purchasing power.
(ii) Livestock feed supplementation: to guarantee access to appropriate livestock feed, commercialized livestock feed interventions will be implemented wherever markets are functioning within the affected zone. Targeting core-breeding animals with survival feed (Multi Nutrient block and Total Mixed Ration will be provided to key breeding herds to ensure their survival.
(iii) Animal health provisions for affected/vulnerable livestock: mitigate likely outbreaks of diseases that will lead to even higher morbidity and mortality of livestock, animal treatments (curative and prophylactic treatments against internal and external parasites and other infectious diseases) in consultation and cooperation with local veterinarians and community-based animal health systems.

Essential health and nutrition services for drought and conflict affected communities - Afar and Somali regions, Ethiopia
Ethiopia has experience the worst drought emergency since 2015, resulting in massive food insecurity, population movements and multiple disease outbreaks that require a swift, integrated, and comprehensive response. Among the hardest hit have been the Somali and Afar regions, where health and nutrition indicators were already poor due to weak and fragile health systems. The majority of the population in Somali and Afar region is pastoralist, living in remote and widely dispersed locations with limited access to functional primary health care facilities. In addition, the Somali region is currently experiencing instability which is impairing health service delivery).
MHNTs will continue to provide basic health, nutrition and emergency referral services to populations living in hard to reach drought-prone districts with limited or no access to public or private health care services.
The two major responses that the MHNTs will be involved in are the assessment, classification and management of common diseases and priority health problems with special attention to children and mothers, and nutritional screening and treatment of severe malnutrition of all children under age 5 and pregnant and lactating women. The teams will also provide health education on breastfeeding and supplementary feeding, personal and environmental hygiene and created awareness on health seeking behaviors. Severe cases of illness will be referred to the higher health unit for better case management.

Emergency Health Responses in Ethiopia, Oromia region, East Hararghe zone: Fedis, Gursum and Babile woredas for Internally Displaced people (IDPs) and Host Communities.
According to the 2018 HDRP, the Meher finding report revealed that two previous years of consecutive drought, compounded with weak rains at the end of 2017 led hundreds of thousands destitute in southern and south-eastern Ethiopia. In Oromia region, 1.58 Million people need health support. This massive influx of people in a short period has created humanitarian crisis and is pushing to the limited capacity of the Oromia Regional State and Federal Government to meet the basic lifesaving needs of the IDPs. Majority
The overall goal of the health response project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality through improved access to basic PHC and referral services for vulnerable drought and conflict affected communities (IDPs and host communities) in Fedis, Gursum and Babile woredas of East Hararghe zone, Oromia region. This will be realized by establishing MHNT and provision of basic free of charge primary health care for affected IDPs and close host communities, conducting awareness creation on prevention of major reportable diseases (AWD, Measles, Scabies and Malaria), provision of essential drugs and Medical supplies. This project will complement the ongoing efforts by the Ethiopian Government and other stakeholders to contain the impact of health threats created by lack of access to basic health care.

Emergency Nutrition response in three woredas of SNNPR region
World Vison Ethiopia is proposing emergency nutrition response to save lives and reduce the morbidity and mortality of under five children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) due to deterioration of the nutritional status among severely drought-affected, high number of IDP hosting community, and IDPs in Korchere, Gedeb, and Dilla Zuria woredas of Gedeo zone, SNNP region. World Vision Ethiopia will implement the intervention focusing on the Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) for the detection and rehabilitation of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases among under five children. Under the context of IDPs and existing under optimal child feeding and care practices among hosting community the project will also incorporate IYCF interventions targeting mothers with SAM children. Based on the Government structure, guidelines, and including new updates from ENCU WVE will support the existing CMAM program for the three proposed priority Woredas. Some of the identified and planned nutritional interventions include strengthening the community mobilization for quality screening, coverage, and linkage through appropriate mapping and targeting of eligible children monthly strengthening the capacity of the health professionals and the community for quality SAM treatment management through training, coaching/mentoring, top up drug provision for SC treatment sites, and ensuring the link of SAM cases to OTP and SC and quality documentation amp reporting. The program will also support the implementation of IYCF-E as cross cutting amp integrative component through strengthening of TFP sites for counselling on breast feeding and complementary feeding practices support with the existing health facility structure and setup, in which mothers from hosting and IDPs with SAM children at TFP sites and breast feed targeted for optimal breast feeding, mothers with breast feeding difficulty will be supported by skilled health workers and established mother-to-mother support group will also be strengthened for the purpose of convening key nutrition messages and experience sharing among mothers.
WVE will implement this program by assigning health and nutrition professionals who have proven experience on emergency nutrition programs on similar settings and in collaboration with other relevant Government organizations and UN agencies as per the requirement. Generally the project will directly benefit 1,665 (Girls 843 amp 823 Boys) and more than 549 (Girls 258 amp Boys 291) children with SAM for SAM management in Hosting and IDPs, respectively. 1,665 (Host) and 549 (IDP) mothers with SAM children for IYCF counseling support focusing for those mothers with children under 2 years.

Emergency Nutrition Response for Drought-Affected and Displaced Communities in Oromia, Afar and Amhara Regions of Ethiopia
This project will respond to the nutritional needs of IDP and host communities in Oromia, Afar, and Amhara Regions, who have been affected by prolonged drought, food insecurity, and recent conflicts. Continued drought and lack of clean water and food among IDPs and host communities has led to the development of both severe and moderate acute malnutrition among children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. In addition, the influx of IDPs into the target woredas has put a strain on existing host community resources and health facility.
CARE proposes a six-month CMAM intervention to respond to the needs through building local capacity in terms knowledge and skill to implement CMAM and ensuring consistent availability of supplies by providing logistic support. The proposed project will also identify inaccessible sites and organize outreach nutrition services in order to reach remote seated commutes with appropriate CMAM services. CARE targeted a total of 11 woredas in Oromia, Afar and Amhara. While targeting woredas, priority was given to woredas with IDP population in Orormia lowlands and newly formed woredas in Afar and Amhara.
The proposed woredas under each region are:
Kurfa Chelle and Goro gutu in East hararghe, Miesso, Doba, Chiro Zuria and Gumbi Bordodie in West Hararghe, Dulecha and Buremedaity in Afar and Ebinat, Meketewa and Sedemujja in south Gonder zone of Amhara region. Proposed areas of intervention have been discussed with the ENCU at Federal and Regional levels and they are among those prioritized with the coming allocation. This project plans to implment the following main activities
- Supporting health workers and health extension workers in the management of severe acute malnutrition which includes on-the-job coaching on IYCF-E promotion
- Supporting community mobilization screening, and implementation of supplementary feeding program (TSF)
-Out reach nutrition services
- Facilitating dialogues on Infant and Young Child Feeding in emergency (IYCF-E) and promotion of good nutrition practices
With this action, CARE plans to reach the following beneficiaries:
4002 children under 5 suffering from severe acute malnutrition (through OTP/SC)
18337 Children under five suffering from moderate acute malnutrition
14910 PLW suffering from moderate acute malnutrition
11275 caregivers/ mothers of children and PLW with MAM

Emergency WASH Response for conflict induced IDPs in Messala and Hawi Gudina woredas, west Hararghe zone.
Food insecurity, lack of access to safe drinking water and poor hygiene and sanitation practices are all chronic problems in East and West Hararghe zones of Oromia region. Vulnerability to malnutrition and utilization of unsafe and unclean water are very common in Ethiopia and they differ considerably throughout the country and within communities. Eastern Oromia remains one of the most deeply vulnerable areas to climate fluctuations, and among the worst affected by recent drought and, consequently, shortage of safe and clean water for drinking and household consumption. Due to the conflict around the Oromia and Ethiopia Somalia border, hundreds of thousands Internally Displaced Peoples (IDPs) have fled to both zones since the beginning of September 2017.
The findings of the recent assessment conducted by CARE showed that there are huge gaps with regard to WASH. These include the need for proper sanitation facilities as IDP communities are using open fields for defecation purpose, the existing latrine facilities are also poorly managed. Individuals in IDP camps also use water from unprotected sources and water rationing, which has a high risk of contamination which could expose the IDPs for life threatening situation.
The project targeted 7178 IDPs living in two IDPs sites located at Mesela and six IDP sites in Hawi Gudina woredas (see table below). The major activities planned to safe life and minimize public health risks are installation of sanitation facilities and rehabilitation of water scheme located in proximity to the IDP camps. A total 10 improved toilets will be constructed in the selected IDP sites and one water scheme will be rehabilitated. The total project cost estimated to be 130,812.42 USD. The duration of the project is 6 months starting from May 10/2018-Nove.9/2018.
Mesela Woreda- 2 blocks of latrine , 1 water scheme rehabilitation and hygiene and sanitation promotion activities.
Hawi Gudina woreda-8 blocks of latrine and hygiene and sanitation activities.

Emergency Nutrition Response in Oromiya Region
This project responds to the nutritional needs of drought-affected and displaced communities in Borena, Guji, West Guji, and East Hararghe Zones of Oromiya Region who have been negatively affected by prolonged drought, food insecurity, and most recently conflict-induced displacement. Continued drought and food insecurity across all woredas, and the lack of clean water and food among IDP communities in East Hararghe Zone has led to the development of both severe and moderate acute malnutrition among children under five and pregnant and lactating women. In addition the influx of IDPs into the targeted Woreda in East Hararghe Zone has put a strain on existing host community resources and health worker and local health system capacity.
GOAL proposes a six-month CMAM intervention to respond to the needs in the following woredas:
Gomole, Dubluk (Borena), Saba Boru, Aga Wayo (Guji), Gelana (West Guji) and Goro Muti (East Hararghe)
Activities will consist of:
- Support to government health workers in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition via out-patient therapeutic programme and stabilization centres
- Establishment and implementation of a targeted supplementary feeding programme to treat moderate acute malnutrition
- Support community mobilization and screening activities
- Education on Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies
- Capacity building, and on-the-job coaching of health workers and health extension workers on management of acute malnutrition and IYCF
- Establishment of mobile health and nutrition team in Goro Muti woreda to reach the IDP communities with health consultations, maternal and reproductive healthcare, immunization, nutrition screening, OTP and referrals to SC where necessary, IYCF-E, and TSFP.
GOAL has a development programme in Gomole Woreda and in line with the HDRP, intends to link the emergency and development activities in order to promote recovery and longer-term resilience.
76 OTPs will be strengthened / established
21 SCs will be strengthened / established
GOAL expects to directly reach the following beneficiaries:
1,516 children under 5 suffering from SAM (through OTP/SC) – this includes IDP and non-IDP communities.
17,051 children and PLW suffering from MAM - this includes IDP and non-IDP communities.
