Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan that prioritized destocking – commercial and slaughter and animal health in particular for those animals receiving supplementary livestock feed.
Mercy Corps (MC) proposes to address the most vulnerable households affected by the adverse effects of the Indian Ocean Dipole in Hudet, Moyale Somali and Filtu Woredas of Liben Zone, Somali Region. The proposed interventions will help improve pastoral livelihoods and help reduce the vulnerability of pastoral households to current and future shocks by protecting livestock asset value through accelerated commercial off-stake.
Output 1: Protect livestock asset value through provision of destocking subsidy to livestock trading enterprises for stimulation off-take of small ruminants
To reduce the pressure on natural resources for livestock nutrition protect core breeding livestock in order to support pregnant, lactating and dry productive females and protect the value of the livestock assets, MC will support accelerated commercial off-take through provision of “smart” subsidies to around 9 registered and licensed local and regional livestock trading enterprises to stimulate off-take of animals from drought affected areas.
Targeting destocking activities within markets that are in the areas worse hit by adverse drought conditions will enable households to preserve the value of their livestock, their main assets, and provide income from livestock sales through the reestablishment of normal market conditions. The intervention is expected to help reduce and offset any emerging livestock mortality in the coming seasons in most severely affected areas in Liben Zone. The direct impact is expected to be $305,000 to $345,000 increase in incremental sales as a result of off-take of 16,000 small ruminant livestock from affected households.
Output 2: Provide veterinarian products through a restricted value vouchers scheme
One of the effects of drought is deterioration of livestock resistance of infective an dmanagement diseases and increased vulnerability to internal and external parasites. Meanwhile, due to other pressing cash needs, households have low capacity to purchase livestock preventative care. Therefore, providing affected households with vouchers redeemable for specific products and services from selected and contracted Private Veterinarian Pharmacies (PSPs) would provide much-needed drugs for core-breeding livestock while also strengthening the network between livestock owners, Community Animal Health Workers (CAHWs), PVPs and veterinarian product wholesalers while boosting local technical and financial capacity.

Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan (Oct 2016) that prioritized livestock feed supplementation of core breeding animals, destocking – commercial and slaughter and animal health in particular for those animals receiving supplementary livestock feed.
Following the delayed onset, erratic and poor autumn deyr rain and the poor regeneration of browse and pasture, livestock that were already in poor condition have continued to lose weight with the result that pastoral households have little or no access to milk and increasing numbers of households are reporting livestock deaths. The lack of adapted, indigenous, core breeding livestock when the drought eventually ends will leave the livelihoods of families throughout the region crippled. The inability to regenerate livestock assets will likely keep many pastoralist families in severe poverty, extending the humanitarian crisis long after the drought ends. Reproductive livestock assets can be protected through supplementary feeding. In addition, it may also be appropriate to promote parasite control through private sector-led, voucher-based treatment interventions that will help ensure that animals can utilise their feed intake fully.
Proposed Intervention: Livestock feed supplementation and private sector-led, voucher-based curative, preventive or supportive veterinary treatments.
Project Target Area: Warder and Geladin districts of Doolo zone of Somali region Ethiopia,
Project Targets: Supplemental feeding coupled with voucher-based treatment systems will benefit 3,600 households, and 18,000 breeding stock, for three months in Warder and Geladin districts of Doolo Zone of Somali region Ethiopia ( five sheep /goats -shoats per household).
Above and beyond, VSF Suisse will take in to account the specific gender roles in relation to livestock care and production when implementing the emergency livestock feed intervention. Milking of dairy/dual-purpose animals and cleaning of animal kraals are often tasks that fall disproportionately upon female members of the household. Therefore, since taking the core breed livestock to the feeding centres everyday may confer particularly onerous duties on women and girls, the project will require that men or a family member will bring animals to the feeding centres and that female-headed households send a family member (when possible) so as not to adversely affect the daily workload of women in the affected communities.
Also in households led by ill, elderly people labor availability may be very low and in these cases, the project will consult the community to set criteria in order to identify the bed-ridden and those who have mobility issues. Mechanisms of voluntary community labor will be put in place so that other community members may deliver livestock supplementary feed to such households.

Rayitu and Dawe-Kachin Woreda, are among the most affected areas and are categorized as priority-1 hotspots by the regional government. In some of the hardest hit Woredas the impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread death of livestock due to shortage of pasture and water deteriorating livestock body condition untimely and abnormal 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 drop-out rate and closure of schools 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
Hence, this project is designed to respond to the livestock emergency in low- land districts of Bale Zone, Oromiya Regional State. The project aims to ensure the availability of animal feed and veterinary drugs for core breeding animals, , and provide unconditional cash transfer for highly vulnerable households who have no assets to take them through the critical drought period. There will be full community participation during the targeting and distribution of feed and cash to ensure the most affected are targeted fairly. The project will be implemented by Danchurch aid (DCA) and Lutheran World Federation (LWF). The project will target two highly affected districts that are Rayitu and Dawe Kachin, and it will benefit 10,500 people. It is estimated that through this support 2300- breeding animals will recover from the drought

The SNNPR cluster members include FAO, PIN, VITA and VSF Germany. The proposal in line with HRD strategic objective 1 and 2 is designed in order to prevent further deterioration of food security and protect livelihoods of vulnerable households. VSF Germany and its partner VITA targeted a total of 11,350 households (68,800 beneficiaries) in 3 drought-stricken woredas (Hamer, Dasenech and Nyagatom) of south Omo zone by improving livestock health, provision of livestock feed and slaughter destocking (meat distribution) activity to vulnerable households according agriculture cluster objective 2 , in particular with priority category 1 . VSF Germany will implement animal health and slaughter de-stocking intervention across the three districts and feeding activity only in Hamer wereda. VITA will implement animal feeding in Dasenech and Nyagatom weredas.
Outcome 1: Protected livestock assets through the provision of animal feed, veterinary services and slaughter de-stocking (meat distribution). In order to protect core-breeding animals, the project seeks to provide livestock feed and animal health service to selected households in each woreda. To attain this outcome These project targeted 8,000 households for animal health intervention and 2,850 HHs for feeding activity in the three districts. It is assumed that each household will receive feed for 2 breeding cattle which will allows them to feed those cattle for 66 days. Each breeding cattle in the selected households receives 1.5 kg concentrate feed on a daily basis. Further to feeding activity the project will target 8,000 households from the two districts (Dasenech and Nyagatom) for veterinary service. Each household will receive veterinary vouchers with a value of 7$ to access veterinary service through community animal health workers. in addition the project carry out slaughter destocking activity. A total of 6,750 households will be expected to benefit from slaughter destocking and meat distribution intervention. Each selected household will receive 5 to10 kg of fresh meat from village level slaughtering committee.

VSF-Suisse is currently operational in Warder and Geladi Woredas of Dolo Zone implementing supplementary animal feed intervention with a package of voucher based livestock treatment for 3,600 households.
The food security and nutritional situation is deteriorating from day to day for humans and livestock. There are early and late indicators of food insecurity, the latter indicating that the situation is getting out of control, which is currently the case in Doolo Zone target areas with the death of livestock, malnutrition and abnormal migration of full families. People have already exhausted their normal coping mechanisms and are applying stress coping mechanisms, thereby losing their livelihood base.
The expanding need for feed for livestock in response to the worsening humanitarian situation in Doolo Zone outweigh VSF-Suisse’s capacity to respond within the framework of the current UN-OCHA EHF financed intervention in Doolo Zone. Further funding is needed in order for VSF-Suisse to help meet these needs in the different woredas of Doolo zone of Somali region.
Proposed Intervention: Livestock feed supplementation and private sector-led, voucher-based curative, preventive or supportive veterinary treatments.
Project Target Area: Warder and Geladin districts of Doolo zone of Somali region Ethiopia,

Failure of seasonal rainfalls creates shortage of water for both human and livestock. The majority of the communities of the targeted area are (agro)pastoralists which depend on livestock production as a main source of food and income.
The project is prepared in response to the prevailing drought in the area to support the community through the provision of animal feed for core breeding animals. The overall objective of the project is preventing the deterioration of the food security situation of the targeted HHs living in Guji zone of Oromia region. The outcome of the project is protecting the core breeding animals of the (agro)- pastoralists through the provision of animal feed.
. The project aims to ensure the availability of feed mainly concentrate and hay to selected highly vulnerable HHs in Gorodola and Liben woredas. A total of 900 HHs (5400 people, 1114 Men, 1098 Women, 1605 Boys and1583 Girls) will be targeted under this project. And 3,600 animals (1800 shoats and 1800 cattle) i.e.2 shoats and 2 cattle per HH will be supplied with animal feed a period of sixty days.
Recently (end of April and middle of May) i has been observed that some areas of the two woredas received rain and pasture start to generate. But the rain is erratic and not continuous as it has been during normal seasons of this time. It is indicated during the discussions with the zonal and woreda sector offices, the newly generated pasture will not last until end of July. A very high demand for animal feed is anticipated starting from August until the start of the next short rainy season which will occur in the months of October and November. Hence the project will start the provision of the feed for the targeted livestock at the end of July/or beginning of August.
Preparatory works and project inception activities will be undertaken until the actual feed provision will be started. These activities, MoU signing with the regional/zonal sector bureaus and BoFED (this process takes more than a month in most cases), familiarization of the project at woreda level and preparation of implementation plan, identification and selection of beneficiaries, procurement and transportation of the feed to the kebele centers, sensitization of the targeted HHs on the need of prioritizing core breeding animals for the purpose of this project

This was followed by a strong negative Indian Ocean Dipole that picked in July 2016 at -1.3 degree Celsius as the strongest episode in 50 years resulting late, erratic and poor Hagaya rain in September and October 2016. Poor performance of the Hagaya rains has caused critical water and livestock feed shortages in the lowlands of Bale zone, Oromia Regional state. Rayitu and Dawe-Kachin Woreda, are among the most affected areas and are categorized as priority-1 hot-spots by the regional government. The impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread death of livestock due to shortage of pasture and water deteriorating livestock body condition untimely and abnormal 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 drop-out rate and closure of schools 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
This project is therefore designed to respond to the livestock emergency in low- land districts – particularly Rayitu and Dawekachen districts through improving access to livestock feed to vulnerable pastoralists households who have no assets to their core-livestock through the critical drought period. There will be active community participation during the targeting and distribution of feed to ensure the most affected are targeted fairly and transparently. The project will be implemented by Danchurch aid (DCA) and Lutheran World Federation (LWF).

Action Against Hunger (AAH) is currently implementing a EHF funded livelihood protection interventions in Somali Region in Korahe zone. The interventions are presented under the HRD’s objective 2 and informed by field missions including the recent Meher assessments and associated strategic documents that have been prepared to improve drought risk management outcomes.
Objective 2: Protect and restore livelihoods following the delayed onset, erratic and poor autumn Deyr rain and the poor regeneration of browse and pasture, livestock that were already in poor condition have continued to lose weight with the result that pastoral households have little or no access to milk and increasing numbers of households are reporting livestock deaths.
Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock, the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan (Oct 2016) that prioritized livestock feed supplementation of core breeding animals, destocking – commercial and slaughter - and animal health, . This project is intended to undertake livestock feed supplementation and animal health in the feeding center where animals are in a shared space to reduce spreading of diseases. Those activities are among Emergency Livestock Interventions for the emergency phase of the drought cycle recommended by SAG.

To ensure livestock owners are able to face the long dry spells between Jan and March 2017, FAO in close collaboration with the Emergency Livestock Working Group (ELWG) and Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) identified priority areas for livestock livelihood protection within vulnerable areas of the south and southeastern lowland of Ethiopia. The selections of the areas were made based on a series of field missions by FAO regional staff as well as in depth discussions with regional governments and recent Meher seasonal assessment findings. Given the scope of the crisis and limited interventions being undertaken in SNNP Region, particularly in south Omo, FAO selected the worst-affected woredas of Malle, Hammer and Bena Tsemay for livelihood support. The woredas were selected based on: food and nutrition security status (classified by the regional government) being heavily Deyr/Hageya rain-dependent and having not received assistance during the season and not targeted with sufficient livelihood support in response to the current drought situation.
The planned interventions include
(i) Livestock feed supplementation: to guarantee access to appropriate livestock feed, commercialized livestock feed interventions will be implemented wherever markets are functioning within affected zone. Targeting core-breeding animals, supplementary concentrate feed, cane tops and other concentrates using locally available agricultural waste products will be utilized. In order to mitigate against market disruptions, these activities will be undertaken along with local traders, agro-dealers as needed. Where possible, locally procured feed will be distributed at temporarily established feeding points and along migratory routes with a preference given to the most productive and core-breeding livestock. The proposed feeding centers will be established near water points.
(ii) Animal Health provisions for affected/vulnerable livestock: to overcome the near complete lack of pasture, the serious water shortage in affected pastoral communities and the deterioration of the livestock physical condition, and 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) will be provided in consultation and cooperation with local veterinarians and community-based animal health systems.
(iii) Slaughter destocking of animals with low body weight: In order to generate income for affected households by off-taking weak animals, the project will purchase livestock directly from families, enabling pastoral households to purchase cereals and other food. Meat deemed fit for consumption will be distributed to food insecure and drought-affected households in order to provide animal source proteins and improve nutrition. Working closely with local butchers, livestock marketing cooperatives, market traders and regional authorities, unproductive non-core breeding livestock deemed unfit for or not competitive in local markets will be purchased at reasonable market prices. Of these, animals deemed unfit for human consumption will be slaughtered and disposed.Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsFood and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsEthiopia Humanitarian Fund FAO EthiopiaFAO Surge Response Team Leaderalemu.manni@fao.orgAlemu ManniSNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Food Security900004.39900004.39Ethiopia Humanitarian FundFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations900004.39Ethiopia Humanitarian FundFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations94990.34Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs0.29Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/A-H-WASH/INGO/4485United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProtecting the health and livelihoods of severely drought-affected communities of Shebelle Zone, Somali Region, EthiopiaProject Summary : The mid-November federal NDRMC ‘alert’ confirms late onset, erratic and poor autumn deyr rains in southern Somali region (also across the whole of southern Ethiopia). As these rains follow poor spring guu rains, the Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) to the DRM ATF is describing southern Somali region as in the ‘alarm’ phase of the drought cycle with a high probability of moving to a full drought emergency in the coming month.
Working as a Consortium, Save the Children together with Mercy Corps (MC), Islamic Relief (IR), Action Against Hunger (ACF), and Veterinaries sans Frontiers – Swiss (VSF-S) are planning lifesaving and livelihood protection interventions in Somali Region. The interventions are presented under the HRD’s objective 2 and informed by field missions including the recent meher assessments and associated strategic documents that have been prepared to improve drought risk management outcomes. Save the Children is also planning Health and WASH interventions to mitigate and respond to health outbreaks.
Objective 1: Saving lives
In mid-November 2016, Somali region issued a call for water trucking to 1.1 million people in 28 affected woredas as the lack of rain had resulted in rapidly declining water availability – ponds/ haffirs and birkads drying and the discharge rates of wells declining.
Perhaps not surprisingly, there have been serious outbreaks of AWD as people take unsafe water from sources. In some areas even health centers do not have access to clean drinking which has further compounded health risks. In response to the ongoing Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) and other vaccine preventable disease outbreaks there is a plan to provide immediate lifesaving and preparedness measures for future disease outbreaks and response activities for the current AWD and other outbreak prone public health problems. The project activities are directly linked with the National and regional Public health emergency management (PHEM) and AWD preparedness and response plan objective, ‘saving of the lives of the outbreak affected and outbreak prone communities’. The proposed project geographical locations in Somali region are among the health cluster task force priority areas for emergency Health interventions. Additionally, the project design adheres with the Health cluster priorities and Health Cluster objective 2, “epidemic disease outbreaks in high-risk areas detected and responded to on time”. to prevent vaccine preventable disease like measles, support will be provided in regard to strengthening routine vaccination system.
For these reasons it is proposed to provide clean water through water trucking and other locally available opportunities – and strength health services in particular to cope with diseases that typically spike during times of drought e.g. measles, meningitis and alike. Other activities planned include provision of water treatment chemicals, community mobilization through awareness workshops, provision of HTH chlorine for health facilities, supplying of health facilities with drugs and medical supplies construct hand washing point and bathing facilities.
Objective 2: Protect and restore livelihoods Following the delayed onset, erratic and poor autumn deyr rain and the poor regeneration of browse and pasture, livestock that were already in poor condition have continued to lose weight with the result that pastoral households have little or no access to milk and increasing numbers of households are reporting livestock deaths.
Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan (Oct 2016) that prioritized livestock feed supplementation of core breeding animals, destocking – commercial and slaughter and animal health in particular for those animals receiving supplementary livestock feed. Accordingly, the proposed activities include animal health, animal feed, destocking and Cash for work.

The impacts of the current Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) induced drought in the Somali Region for 2017-18 are expected to be further exacerbated by climatic changes. As the humanitarian situation continues to worsen, there is a critical need for strong humanitarian leadership by the regional government and a coordinated and effective multi-sectoral, multi-agency humanitarian response. In light of the recurrence of droughts and thee onslaught of climate change, there is also need to adopt a recovery and long-term resilience building approach to mitigate their impacts and avoid disasters.
The leadership and coordination capacity of the Regional Disaster Preparedness and Prevention Bureau (DPPB), and the newly established Humanitarian Coordination Unit (HCU) within the president’s office will therefore be critical to meet and manage the current and future humanitarian needs and resilience building. Despite strong commitment of the regional government to respond to the drought induced crisis and link it with long term development, its capacity to do so needs considerable strengthening, given the extent of the ongoing humanitarian response and the demand for scaled resilience programming due to drought and conflict Specifically, the technical capacity of the government regional humanitarian bureaus to lead and coordinate humanitarian response by development partners and NGOs so that it’s well aligned with government priorities and the specific humanitarian needs of different social groups, including women, men, boys and girls but also different ethnic groups is limited. This is further exacerbated by lack of consistent data and limited communication to guide humanitarian response and to ensure that those most in needs are prioritized. Taking into account the multiple risks faced in in the Somali Regional State, including recurrent droughts, climate change, poverty and conflict, which will continue to erode and overwhelm coping capacities of communities, there is also need to strengthen the regional government capacity to bridge the humanitarian-development gap linking ongoing programmes for crises response with disaster preparedness planning and long-term recovery and resilience building.
In response to the issues above, this project will strengthen the institutional capacity of the DPPB and the HCU to lead, coordinate, implement, and monitor the performance and delivery of ongoing and future multi-sectoral emergency responses, but also to plan and prepare for future climatic impacts. The project also aspires to contribute to developing the institutional capacity of DPPB and other concerned Regional Bureaus to prevent and prepare for future crises and reduce the need for future humanitarian life-saving measures. Further to this, the project will also strengthen regional humanitarian institutions in collecting, using, analyzing and managing disaster data to inform disaster preparedness, humanitarian response and lesson learning for resilience building. In this regard, UNDP will directly add human capacity to reinforce regional government leadership and coordination of the humanitarian response and maximize the government’s proactive engagement with humanitarian and development organizations to ensure sustainable recovery and durable solutions.

These events included outbreaks of diseases such as acute watery diarrhea, scabies, and increase of malaria incidence, measles and chikungunya in Somali. International Medical Corps has been engaged in the rapid respond to the needs of vulnerable communities who are in the midst of disease outbreak. Based on our observation and assessment made, there is a gap on early identification and provision of rapid response because of loose RRT and delay in early identification and investigation of existing ongoing outbreak. The health system needs to be strengthened to the expected level to provide rapid response. In response to the existing gaps, International Medical Corps is planning to strengthen the rapid response intervention to the existing and upcoming emergencies by:
Strengthening the rapid response intervention through major outreach activities, supporting rapid response team, community mobilization, orientation and sensitization.
Supporting the rapid response team of the project site for early investigation and outbreak control
Providing pharmaceuticals and supplies.
Strengthening the capacity RRT at zonal and woreda level on rapid response to epidemic prone diseases.

This will consist extending the reach of the response to more woredas and people, as well as in deepening lifesaving interventions by introducing support to case management, deployment of mobile health teams (providing lifesaving essential health services to IDPs and communities with no access to facilities), support in setting up CTC centers, and integration to other complementary activities in the WASH sector.
Under this project, the IRC will target five woredas with confirmed and active AWD cases. These include Aware, Yo’ale, Degehmdow, and Gunagedo woredas in Jarar zone and Garbo woreda in Negob zone. The main pillars of the project are the following: strengthened AWD case management improved access to essential and life-saving Primary Health Care services in hard to reach areas improved community-based surveillance and mobilization and improved leadership and coordination mechanisms at zonal and woreda level.

Already in October 2016, the Federal Ministry of Health reported over 20,000 Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) cases nationally from 47 zones and 236 woredas in Afar, Amhara, Oromia, and Somali, SNNP, Tigray regions and Harari City as well as the 10 sub cities of Addis Ababa in the last year.
Since then, the disease propagated to the drought affected zones namely in Fafan , Korahe, Jarar and recently to Doolo, Erer and Nogob zones. Informal reports from the technical supportive teams of the federal ministry of health in Somali region depicted that the daily average AWD case admission currently in Somali region tolls up 500 persons a day. As of this day, 39 woredas in Somali region have been affected by the AWD, with the number growing daily. Doolo Zone has been affected by the outbreak since mid March 2017 in Galadi woreda, and since then it has been spreading. Doolo has one of the highest numbers of IDP camps who are especially at risk to outbreaks.
Underlying risks for this outbreak according to UNICEF and the Regional Heath Bureau (RHB) are the lack of social mobilization, the low capacity of health facility staff, lack of coordination and early warning structures. There is also a high risk of cross contamination at the CTU/CTC facilities.
Oxfam plans to intervene at the health facility level to build the capacity of the staff to detect, contain and prevent AWD outbreaks thus save lives in Bokh, Galadi, and Warder woreda of Doolo Zone. To achieve this, Oxfam will provide training and equipment to health facility staff aimed at strengthening their prevention capacity and their knowledge on surveillance and early warning. Furthermore CTU/CTCs will be equipped with AWD discharge kits for AWD patients, in order to prevent further spreading of the disease. The project will be supported by community mobilizers attached to the health facilities who will be trained on promoting awareness of good public health and hygiene practices to prevent spreading of diseases. Oxfam proposes a budget of 300,000 USD to implement this project.

In order to strengthen surveillance activities in Ethiopia, WHO needs to ensure existence of the following capacities: :
Timely and effective epidemic preparedness and response within the context of the International Health Regulations, including laboratory capacities, early warning alert and response systems.
Tracking and risk profiling of all communicable diseases of public health importance
Maintenance of a database on priority communicable diseases and generation, analysis and dissemination of basic information for monitoring and evaluation of regional health interventions.
Prompt confirmation of etiological agents of priority communicable diseases and outbreaks and monitoring of antimicrobial resistance through establishment of strong and functional public health laboratory networks
Biosafety, biosecurity and readiness for outbreaks of dangerous and emerging pathogens outbreaks (e.g. Viral haemorrhagic fevers, Zika).
Maintenance of an effective system for coordinated response with partners to public health events of international concern.
Capacity for risk communication
One health – collaboration between animal and human health
Given the history of prolonged outbreaks (see map), the AWD outbreak is expected to continue. Chikungunya and Dengue fever outbreaks were also experienced in Somali region bordering kenya and Dire Dawa city (see map), measles outbreak continues in many parts of the country, meningococcal meningitis outbreak is ongoing in the Western part of the country, and yellow fever outbreak is expected in SNNP region between December and June. each year The influx of over 40,000 South Sudanese refugees in Gambella region, in addition to the 280,000 already hosted there puts additional pressure on the health system. Coming from a fragile health system with low vaccine coverage, the refugees are already exposed to vaccine preventable diseases including measles, and this could predispose the population to more outbreaks.
The intended country of impact is Ethiopia, however, in view of potential spread of some endemic communicable diseases from the neighboring countries, and the risk of re-importation of Wild Polio Virus (WPV) from Somalia and Nigeria is still a risk.. The intervention will ensure timely detection of disease alerts/outbreaks and timely and efficient response and as a result will help us in containing the outbreaks locally and keep monitoring the epidemiological trends, in line with the requirements of International Health Regulations (IHR).

UNICEF has been responding to these outbreaks since late 2015 through technical support to the Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH) and the Regional Health Bureaus (RHBs) as well as provision of medical supplies and commodities, including Cholera Treatment Centre (CTC) kits and Permethrin. In 2016, more than 190 CTC kits and over 511,700 tube of Permethrin (5%) have been procured and distributed to all affected regions. This support has played a critical role in controlling the outbreaks. However, AWD and scabies outbreaks are still ongoing in some regions as of late 2016 and are expected to continue in 2017 since Indian Ocean Dipole-driven (IOD) drought is producing environmental settings conducive to increase transmission of cholera, scabies and other infectious diseases. South-east corridor of the country, including the Somali Region and southern part of Oromia, are among those which will be severely affected by drought in 2017. There is therefore an urgent need to continue the response and replenish required quantities of CTC stocks and medical supply. At least 180 CTC kits are needed for 2017 AWD outbreak prepositioning and response. In addition, more than 2 million 30ml-tube of Permethrin (5%) are required to response to scabies outbreak in 2017. The overall objective of this project proposal is to contribute to save lives and reduce morbidities through timely and properly responding to these major diseases outbreaks. This objective is guided by the 2017 Humanitarian Requirement Document (HRD) and health cluster strategic objectives. The planned activities are to procure and distribute essential supplies and commodities for AWD and scabies outbreak response in 2017 in Somali, Oromiya and SNNP regions.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundMohammed Diaaeldin OmerHealth specialist 251 - 942528030mdomer@unicef.orgGetachew HaileEmergency officer 251-911375757gehaile@unicef.orgOromia7.50798643 38.76521270SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Health416110.89416110.89Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund416110.89Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund408.65United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/H/UN/5784United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsRapid Operational Support for AWD Emergency Response in EthiopiaThis project, titled ‘Rapid Operational Support for Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) Emergency Response in Ethiopia’, aims to provide logistics assistance to the Ministry of Health (MoH), Regional Health Bureaus, as well as the Health and WASH Clusters, in their efforts to address the health crisis in the Ethiopia Somali Region of Ethiopia. While various sources such as international experts have identified the AWD cases as Cholera, the government is yet to make its determination. The support provided will aim to enable government health workers to respond to AWD outbreaks in an effective and timely manner.
The project has two key components. Firstly, to provide fleet management services for response teams, so that they can visit remote parts of the region to respond to AWD outbreaks. Under this component, UNOPS will assign 50 SUV vehicles in good-condition with drivers who are familiar with the Region through various service providers. The vehicles will be managed by UNOPS, who will work with the service providers and humanitarian partners to ensure vehicles meet the requirements of the emergency, in terms of equipment, availability, and quality of service (for example, by verifying the standards, timeliness of vehicle provision and quality of vehicles). An Operations Associate will be appointed under this component to conduct troubleshooting, ensure that the provider conducts maintenance of vehicles, and facilitate the planning and work of response teams
The second component is to disburse per diem payments to health workers, in accordance with MoH per diem rates. About 300 health workers are to be assigned to the AWD response for a period of 3 months. Timely payments will ensure health workers have the means to travel to areas in need and respond in a timely manner. AWD outbreaks require a real-time response, so disbursement of per diem requires an innovative approach, which cannot simply be handled through bank transfers or cash handouts. UNOPS will work with mobile payment companies to ensure daily payments to health workers, regardless of remoteness of their location. This solution is cost-effective, as it reduces logistic and time costs. To manage this process, UNOPS will deploy an Operations Associate to the command post in Jigjiga, to oversee per diem payments, and assist health workers with any issues, changes and delays. Per diem payments will be made through an innovative electronic/mobile payment system, to be managed by a supplier, to ensure cost-effectiveness and timeliness.
As per OCHA’s recommendation, the project also includes an activity to engage up to 100 cleaners for 3 months in the affected areas. If and when required, UNOPS can engage a service provider on behalf of OCHA and other partners to provide cleaners to various treatment centers in the region. The supplier would also be responsible for providing basic cleaning supplies to up to 20 treatment centers. Alternatively, UNOPS can also provide cleaners with partner-managed personnel contracts on behalf of OCHA and other humanitarian partners, as long as they are selected and supervised on a daily basis by the appropriate medical experts. In this scenario, UNOPS will work with a vendor to ensure that basic cleaning supplies are provided to each site, up to 20 locations. Once OCHA instructs UNOPS to provide support on cleaning, detailed work plan around these arrangements will be developed and finalized with the relevant humanitarian partners.
These cleaners will be selected by the appropriate partner(s), and provided with UNOPS contracts for up to 3 months. UNOPS will accordingly provide them with salary payments, as well as basic
The UNOPS operations management team will be a part of the WHO operations team on the ground. The team will be mandated with providing logistics coordination, ensuring that response teams have the means to travel to outbreak areas in a timely manner, based on information provided by MoH and WHO.

UNOPS support will facilitate the health, WaSH and nutrition response to the growing health sector emergency in four zones of Oromia that have received high numbers of displaced people since the outbreak of conflict in August 2017. Targeted zones include Gurji, East Hararghe, Bale and Borena.
This project builds upon two other EHF-funded projects providing operational support to RHBs, UN and NGO partners during their response to health crises in the Somali and Amhara Regions between May and December 2017. The support UNOPS has provided in these regions enabled health workers to address acute watery diarrhoea (AWD), communicable diseases and severe acute malnutrition in an efficient and timely manner.
Since 2015, the AWD outbreak combined with prolonged drought has meant that Oromia has been suffering from similar health issues to the Amhara and Somali Regions. This has been exacerbated by conflict at border areas between Oromia and the Ethiopian Somali Region since September 2017, leading to high levels of internal displacement (estimated at 553,000 people, 27 October 2017) in Oromia and a growing health emergency. Population movement has contributed to the spread of acute watery diarrhoea (AWD) and other communicable diseases (such as measles and hepatitis A), and led to rising rates of malnutrition. Malnutrition rates were already high before the displacement crisis due to prolonged drought.
UNOPS operational support will include two key components:
1. Fleet management services for response teams and supplies. So that health workers can visit remote and hotspot areas, UNOPS will assign five 4x4 vehicles (through service providers) to provide travel services to health workers and supply chain services for transport of medical, nutrition, WaSH and education supplies. 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.
2. Disbursement of per diem payments. UNOPS will work with a mobile payment company to ensure that the 80 RHB health workers travelling in UNOPS-supplied vehicles are paid per diem promptly, in accordance with MoH per diem rates. Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, as it reduces logistic and time costs.
An Operations Associate will be based in the Oromia RHB office in Addis Ababa. His/her role under the fleet management component will be troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains the vehicles and facilitating the planning and work of the response teams in the region. The Operations Associate will manage this process, working closely with Oromia RHB and Addis Ababa UNOPS office to oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes or delays.

Also, with an estimated 573,886 IDPs (309,890 drought and 258,249 conflict – DTM R6), food insecurity, high rates of acute malnutrition among children and multiple ongoing disease outbreaks the region faces many public health challenges and threats.To further complicate this situation the health system has been weakened due to many of the prolonged emergencies, making the delivery of quality static mobile emergency health and nutrition services critical to effective emergency response.
The Oromia Region has also been impacted by the prolonged drought and has not recovered from the impact of the insufficient rains in 2016. Based on the Belg assessment, 95 woredas were identified as P1 and 29 as P2 for health and nutrition humanitarian support. The multiple vulnerabilities aggravated by drought resulted in a complex health and nutrition emergency, including the outbreak of Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD), which is ongoing in eastern zones, as well as Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate for Somali region which is 22.7% (EDHS 2016) - rates above 15% are considered critical. The recent border conflict between Oromia and Somali region has produced 382,837 conflict IDSs in Oromia and new waves of IDPs have significantly increased the risk of AWD outbreaks and an increase in GAM. The disruption in health and nutrition services continues to compromise the ability of the region to respond.
The aim of the project is to strengthen the quality, coverage and timeliness of the current health and nutrition response in Somali and Oromia Regions. The project will provide rapid response medical teams to respond to emerging health needs related to the conflict, train newly deployed surge health staff, provide medicines and medical supplies to address the most urgent stocks out of Mobile Health Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) run by NGOs and supportive supervision/coaching to improve quality of services for IDPs in CTCs and inpatient management of SAM to prevent relapse. The project will also support the Information Management (IM), data collection, monitoring and quality assurance capacity at zonal hubs.

Concern will support the Ministry of Health (MOH) to strengthen existing Therapeutic Feeding Programme services by increasing coverage and quality. The intervention will address high levels of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in the woredas and prevent cases of MAM from deteriorating to severe acute malnutrition (SAM) among children under five and pregnant and lactating women.
The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency nutrition services in severely drought affected pastoralist communities. Concern will support the MOH to deliver high quality CMAM services including Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programs in four hotspot Priority One (P1) woredas - Yalo, Awura, Gulina and Telalak.
The project will provide technical and logistical support to the Woreda Health offices to ensure quality CMAM services are maintained and to minimize loss of life and suffering associated with acute malnutrition. Direct beneficiaries will be targeted based on their nutritional status. Concern outreach workers and community members will be mobilized to identify and refer malnourished children using MUAC tapes, sensitized on key infant and young child feeding (IYCF) messages to promote optimal practices and promote good hygiene. Concern will provide CMAM training for MOH staff and Health Extension Workers (HEWs) in line with National Guidelines. In addition, HEWs will receive IYCF-E training to promote optimal feeding practices. Concern will work closely with the existing Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT). Concern will promote good hygiene and treatment of drinking water at household level and sites. Water treatment chemicals (WTC) and soap will be distributed to beneficiaries. Water for drinking and handwashing will be assured in sites through provision of handwashing facilities and WTCs.
Technical support to the MOH will be tailored to include: CMAM training for new/untrained MOH staff supporting MOH to provide on the job mentoring and regular joint supervision and assessment improving community mobilization for early case detection and referral and strengthening links to the Enhanced Outreach Strategy (EOS) and the PSNP. Community mobilization efforts will raise community awareness on target groups, admission criteria, where and when the services will be given, signs and symptoms of malnutrition, promotion of health seeking behavior, and referral to the CMAM services.
Concern will support the existing OTP, SC and TSFP sites with additional sites, possibly using mobile teams based on assessed need and population movement. Due to the pastoralist nature of the population, Concern will work with woreda and local leaders to ensure maximum coverage of sites based on the available budget. This will include the use of outreach to minimize distances needed to travel by beneficiaries and allow for shifting sites based on population movement. Population movement includes two types: one where families move to nearby locations with their children, and another where men move with livestock and women remain at home with their children.

The project targets male and female children less than five years, pregnant women, and lactating women for direct nutrition support and mothers of children less than 5 years (regardless of their nutritional status) for IYCF-E, Health, and Nutrition counseling. Gender balance will be considered 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. Project target numbers are planned by reviewing admission trend in similar months the previous year and considering the current drought and food insecurity situation.
The proposed project will reach:
9973 moderately malnourished children age between 6 to 59 months
1342 severely acute malnourished children less than five years
13686 moderately malnourished pregnant and lactating women

The project is an extension to an EHF funded project in Fafan and OFDA funded project in Sitti zone. Despite the interventions in the areas, the reports still show that the numbers for Sever Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases are still high prompting the need for further intervention. The project will have a duration of nine months with a total budget of US $ 1,250,000 (eight months of direct implementation and one month for finalizing activities and reporting).
Management of SAM at Stabilization Centers (SC)/ Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP): According to the recent Ethiopian Democratic Health Survey (EDHS), the prevalence of global acute malnutrition (22.7%) in Somali Region is the highest of all regions of Ethiopia and much higher than the national average of 9.9%. This has contributed to high rates of acute malnutrition and increases in admissions of children with SAM at OTP and SC. Regional Therapeutic Supplementary Food Programme (TSFP) admissions trend at regional level has increased in all seven zones affected by drought (higher than monthly estimated caseload) with 18% increment compared to the same period last year (16,223 vs 13,268). Some 84,610 acutely malnourished under five children (which 7,403 were in SAM condition) and pregnant and lactating women were (which 7,403 were in SAM condition), identified in a biannual nutrition screening conducted in October 2016. SC SAM admission trend in Erer, Shinile, Harshinamp Babile woredas also show an increasing trend where a total of 1096 cases admitted in the last 6 month. Save the Children will support government health posts and health centers to manage SAM cases through OTP and will refer SAM cases with medical complications to the stabilization center. Children admitted in OTP will attend weekly follow-ups, and treated with Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Annex 1 tables 1 and 2 show selection criteria.
Management of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) at TSFP: In priority one woredas (Erer, Shinile, Bike, Gablalu, Harshin, Babile, Koran, Gashamo amp Daror woredas of Sitti, Fafan amp Jarar zone). SC’s will support TSFP targeting lt 5 years children’s, Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) and OTP discharged children with moderate acute malnutrition through the provision of super cereals. Save the Children will sign tri-pirate agreement or FLA with World Food Programme (WFP) for the provision of targeted supplementary foods including OTP discharge rations in all priority one woredas.
Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E): Despite the reduction of under-five morbidity and mortality in Ethiopia over recent years, the rate of initiation of breastfeeding and exclusive breastfeeding has shown less improvement. According to 2016 EDHS, the percentage of exclusively breastfed children has slightly increased from 52% in 2011 to 58% in 2016. Increasing exclusive breastfeeding practices at this time is seen as key in avoiding malnutrition and life-saving, particularly during such emergency time. Mother to mother support groups established at health facilities can be an effective entry point for this. SC will recruit IYCF officers, train midwives to provide skilled and individual support for mothers having trouble with breastfeeding, and facilitate mother-to-mother support group’s establishment at OTP sites.

Anemia in children according to the same report showed that Somali Region has the highest percentage of moderate anemia which is 52.2% while Severe anemia was 12.8% and the same report showed women anemia in Somali Region to be 24.4% moderate and 4.7% severe. With regards ANC attendance, Somali Region has the lowest percentage of women that has attended at least 4 ANC visits which only 11%. On the other hand only 21.8% of children 12-23 months received basic vaccinations.
On the hotspot classification, conducted in Dec. 2016, the three targeted woredas were categorized as Priority One. In Somali Region out of the 93 woredas listed in the classification, 72% were Hotspot 1 and the rest were categorized as hotspot 2. Being in the pastoralist area and coupled with other aggravating factors detailed below, Somali Region is in a very critical situation that requires immediate intervention. ACF is currently responding in nutrition in 5 woredas and in a better position to expand its intervention to these 3 woredas: Raaso in Afder Zone, Elale and Gode Town in Gode Zone (Gode woreda and Gode Town are separated in the 4W matrix and even in the National Census data.

The action will prioritize prevention and early treatment of acute malnutrition by supporting the local health systems. 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. 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 among the community raised. IYCF-E will be reinforced, integrated and implemented with CMAM. The target population will be under 5 year-olds and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs) for the overall CMAM services. These targeted nutrition beneficiaries will also receive water treatment chemicals and NFI.
In addition to direct support for the target groups, food distributions sites will also be renovated and/or opened wherever they are in close proximity to the beneficiaries with an aim to further strengthen the Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding program (OTP) in Health Posts. The project will also build the capacity of targeted district Health Offices through the provision of technical and logistical support to enable them manage the treatment of severely malnourished children in health institutions. In total, 44 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) sites and 10 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened. Furthermore, the project aims to build the capacity of HWs, and HEWs on CMAM for improved quality SAM management service in SC and OTP respectively. These interventions will benefit the entire target communities in the 3 target woredas.
Gender will be mainstreamed and gender concerns will be further analyzed during the project’s implementation period and appropriate measures to ensure equal participation and men and women adopted. The nutrition component specifically targets pregnant and lactating women and under 5 year-old children in the CMAM component. All targets and indicators will be disaggregated by age and sex: where available this will reflect available woreda data, but otherwise an assumption will be made based on the zonal average of 51% male and 49% female population. All venues (nutrition and education sessions, support groups, and community mobilizations) 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 strong emphasis of men’s involvement in child caring practices. Community awareness activities will cover both men and women to ensure practical applications are done at household level.
Child protection is a core value throughout the project implementation period. All training activities include a child protection module that presents the risks and issues children face during times of crisis, including sexual and gender based violence (SGBV), child labour, child marriage and separation.

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality related to acute malnutrition -in the target woredas. The six month project will target severely and moderately acute malnourished children below five years (U5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) using the Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) approach. A WASH component promoting five critical handwashing times has been included to break vector cycles associated with acute watery diarrhea (AWD) a phenomenon which is affecting most woredas of Somali region. MC aims to reach 6,663 beneficiaries ( U5 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) addressing severe and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) for U5 and MAM for PLW. The TSFP program will rely on the TSFP commodity availability pipeline from WFP which currently is skewed towards P1 woredas only. Every admitted beneficiary will receive counseling on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) and personal and household level hygiene.
The intervention comprises three project outcomes: 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 proper child feeding practices and other nutrition related topics, as well as proper hygiene behaviors
SCs will support delivery of inpatient care treatment for children suffering from SAM and MAM with medical complications (an estimated 10% of SAM cases). Children referred to the SCs will receive intensive medical care 24 hours a day until stabilized – this includes management of complications, treatment for underlying infection, and the provision of therapeutic food. Once stabilized, children will be discharged to the OTP nearest to their home. All children less than 6 months of age with signs of visible wasting or edema will be treated in the SC. OTPs will deliver comprehensive outpatient care for children with uncomplicated SAM. Children will be assessed and if MUAC lt11cm or oedema of both feet and passing appetite test they will be admitted in OTP. Upon entry, children will undergo a routine health assessment, treatment for underlying infections and receive a one-week supply of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Weekly thereafter, for static clinics, patients will return for a medical assessment and additional one week supply of RUTF. Other medicines and micronutrients like de-worming drugs vitamin A capsules folic acid and antibiotics will appropriately be given as per the Emergency Nutrition Response guidelines. Upon discharge, children will be referred to a TSFP program for 3 months to prevent recurrence of malnutrition. The project team and two Health Extension Workers (HEWs) will form the Mobile Health and Nutrition Team which will address the hard to reach areas and provide weekly support and supervision and on the job capacity building for all static OTPS and SCs. TSFP will be attached to each of the OTP sites to treat MAM U5 and PLW with children less than 6 months old. Patients will be screened and admitted when their Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is 11 cm lt 12.0 cm (U5) and less than 23 cm for PLW. The MAM admitted beneficiaries will be monitored on a monthly basis.Mercy CorpsMercy CorpsEthiopia Humanitarian FundEsther Lee SalazarDeputy Country Director251-116-189-680esalazar@mercycorps.orgNathan OettingSenior Program Officer503-896-5000noetting@mercycorps.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Nutrition435787.79435787.79Ethiopia Humanitarian FundMercy Corps348630.23Ethiopia Humanitarian FundMercy Corps72542.16Ethiopia Humanitarian FundMercy Corps84.35Mercy CorpsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs0Mercy CorpsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/N/INGO/4948United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Nutrition Response in Six woredas of Segen and Debub Omo Zones , SNNPR Region, EthiopiaSave the Children proposes to conduct a nutrition emergency intervention to reduce the morbidity and mortality of children aged 0-59 months, pregnant and lactating women due to deterioration of the nutritional status and lack of safe drinking water among severely drought-affected communities in South Omo and Segen Zones of the SNNPR. The project aims to improve the nutritional status of drought-affected communities, through the provision of life -saving and protective nutritional services. Save the Children 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 0-59 months of age. The project will also support optimal IYCF-E practices of infants and young children under-24 month and supporting the nutritional needs and care of pregnant and lactating women.
In health facilities, where CMAM has already been started the project will strengthen the existing system by filling the gaps identified in delivering outpatient therapeutic feeding programmes and inpatient services. There is a critical gap identified and shared by MANTF, which indicates a need to establish 27 OTP sites and 19 SC sites in targeted six woredas. In others where there is no systemic CMAM intervention yet, the project will establish TSFP, OTP and SC sites as part of availing the basic nutritional supports for the affected community. Some of the planned nutritional interventions includes establishing and strengthening OTP and SC centers for the treatment of acute malnutrition, supporting TSF implementation in collaboration with Woreda Administration/Woreda Health Bureau/Woreda Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Office and World Food Program. Apart from directly supporting the crises response on the ground, the project will also provide capacity-building activities through provision of regular onsite technical and operational support and case management trainings. Save the Children will support regular community mobilization efforts, sensitization and screening activities, and ensures that woreda health staffs and health development armies are adequately trained on operational guidance of IYCF –E Interventions. The project will also support the linkage between nutritional program with routine and campaign immunization programs by covering logistics and mobilization costs.
SCI will be actively engaged in maintaining smooth referral linkage between OTP, SC and community mobilization. Moreover, Save the Children will strive to strengthen the TSFP in targeted woredas. The aim of the targeted supplementary feeding program is to treat moderately acutely malnourished children and PLW.
As part of making sure that beneficiary targeting are properly conducted and to ensure that limited resources are used appropriately, SCI will continuously support monitoring the quality of actual measurement activities including but not limited to– measuring weights, heights, MUAC, and edema. Accordingly, SC’s supervision and monitoring activities will make sure that they are measured accurately and are in line with the national guidelines.

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. Somali region is predominantly pastoralists and 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 agricultural labour and herding opportunities.
Ethiopia continues to reel from the impacts of the El Niño-induced drought, the country is facing a new drought affecting lowland areas in southern and eastern parts of the country. This reflects a shift in the areas where acute humanitarian needs are experienced, a change that requires the humanitarian community to review and adjust the presence in order to save lives and livelihoods (HRD, 2017). The HRD has identified 5.6 Million in need of emergency food aid and out of which 1.6 Million are in Somali region.
In Somali region, new admissions of severely malnourished children under-5 (SAM) to therapeutic feeding program sites has increased from 3,817children in December 2016 to 5,996 in January 2017, registering a 56 per cent increase (75 per cent reporting rate). Afder (65 per cent increase), while Doolo (300 per cent increase) and Jarar(600 per cent increase) zones exhibited the highest increase in admission, indicative of the deteriorating food security situation in these areas(UNOCHA, January 2017).
As indicated above Somali region is one of the highly affected regions by the current drought in Ethiopia as a result of the effect of ElNino. This effect is further worsened in Afder Zone as a result of failure of the “Gu” rain. In response to the current drought situation and to further understand the magnitude of the problem the multi-sector rapid need assessment was conducted in October, 2016 comprising experts drawn from regional, Zonal government and non-governmental organizations (Afder Zone Rapid Needs Assessment Somali Regional State, October 2016). The findings indicate that the drought, worsened by ElNino effects, is having a devastating impact in Afder Zone. The below normal and failure of main GU’ rain in between (April- May 2016 had caused the water points to dry up earlier than usual time triggering severe water scarcity, dry pastures. The (2016) main GU rain was characterized late, onset, early cessation, unevenly distribution, limited rainy days, and this had had resulted drought following log dry season June-September. This has resulted in lack of water, poor pasture/scarcity and food scarcity to be prevailing conditions at this moment.
The latest hotspot classification (December,2016) indicates that all the target Woredas in this project (,Gorobekeksa, and Guradamole) remain hotspot priority one. As a result high rates of malnutrition are observed and the situation might get worsened as the coming rain forecast indicated by (FEWSNET, 2017) is poor. under the PDP-BASES(DFID fund) integrated Health, Nutrition, WASH and Education emergency response programm in Afder and Liben Zones, is going on and WASH response intervention in Chereti Woreda under the ERM funding is under implementation. IRE also intends to expand WASH response intervention to Goro-Bakaksa and Guradhamole woredas. This proposed project will address the emergency Nutrition response needs of drought/ El Niño affected population in Goro-Bakaksa and Guradhamole Districts of Liben Zone. The target population for the project is malnourished children and Pregnant and Lactating Women. The intervention includes nutrition support through standard nutrition approach Community Managed Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) response and IYCF-E support and technical and capacity building to District health and Nutrition government staff. The project will be implemented over a period of six months with the support of local government and community.Islamic ReliefIslamic ReliefEthiopia Humanitarian FundOmar IbrahimCountry Director+251 114 700966/73 Omar.Ibrahim@islamic-relief.org.etSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Nutrition256077.5722762.45278840.02Ethiopia Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief139420.01Ethiopia Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief139420.01Ethiopia Humanitarian FundIslamic Relief10498.43Islamic ReliefUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs6437.80Islamic ReliefUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/N/INGO/5310United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Nutrition Response in South Omo Zone, Southern Nations, Nationalities and People’s Region (SNNPR) and Zone Four, Afar Region, 2017The proposed project will provide emergency Community-based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) support to two woredas in South Omo Zone, Southern Nations and Nationalities People’s Region (SNNPR) and one woreda in Afar Region for a period of six months based on requests received from the Regional Health Bureaus. Concern will support the Ministry of Health (MOH) to strengthen existing Therapeutic Feeding Programme (TFP) services by increasing coverage and quality. The intervention will address high levels of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) in the woredas and prevent cases of MAM from deteriorating to severe acute malnutrition (SAM) among children under five years of age (U5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW).
The overall objective of the project is to provide lifesaving emergency nutrition services in severely drought affected pastoralist and non-pastoralist communities. Concern will support the Ministry of Health to deliver high quality CMAM services including Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP), Stabilization Center (SC) and community mobilization in two Hotspot Priority One woredas (Male, Bena Tsemay) in SNNPR and one Hotspot Priority One woreda (Teru) in zone 4 of Afar Region through existing Health Centers (HC) and Health Posts (HP). Activities will be coordinated with the two Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNT) in Teru.
The objective of the project will be achieved by establishing effective community mobilization for case detection, referral, follow up and promotion of key health seeking behaviors and strengthening the Woreda Health Office (WoHO) capacity to manage CMAM in the targeted woredas. The OTP, SC and community mobilization components will be delivered by the WMoH (Woreda Ministry of Health) to improve management and treatment of severely malnourished children at health post level, treatment of severely malnourished children with medical complications at SCs, and community mobilization by strengthening outreach activities of MoH personnel. Technical support in terms of joint monitoring and supervision of OTP and SC by Concern and WMoH staff will ensure quality of the project and allow corrective action when needed through on the job training. The Targeted Supplementary Feeding Programme (TSFP) component will be delivered by the WMoH in partnership with WFP in SNNPR, however in Afar the TSFP component will be directly supported by Concern.
The project will provide technical and logistical support to the woreda health offices to ensure quality CMAM services are maintained and to minimize loss of life and suffering associated with acute malnutrition. Direct beneficiaries will be targeted based on their nutritional status following national guidelines. Technical support in terms of joint monitoring and supervision by Concern and WMoH staff will ensure quality of the project and allow corrective action when needed through on the job training.
Concern outreach workers and community members will be mobilized to identify and refer malnourished children using MUAC tapes, sensitized on key Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) messages to promote optimal practices and promote good hygiene. Concern will provide CMAM training for MOH staff and Health Extension Workers (HEWs) in line with National Guidelines. In addition, HEWs will receive Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) training to promote optimal feeding practices. Concern will promote good hygiene and treatment of drinking water at household level and sites.

Responding to the need, ChildFund Ethiopia has been implementing CMAM project in Fentale woreda however, despite the achievement of the project the need on the ground is still significant due to the failure of Meher rain. Therefore, to continue to respond for the food insecurity situation, malnutrition among children, PLW and elderly, shortage of livestock feeds which have been aggravated beginning from the meher, ChildFund Ethiopia proposes this follow on CMAM project in Fentale district and new CMAM project on Boset and Merti woredas.
The project targets female and male children less than five years affected by severe acute malnutrition as well as pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Gender balance will be considered when recruiting staff for the project implementation, most technical support for Therapeutic Food Program will be directed by Health Extension Workers and Food Distribution Agents who are mostly female, and Woreda health staff who are both male and female. The project will be ensured that the process of beneficiary selection, the selection of safe distribution points and time to ensure zero security threat to women and children due to delays in service provision will be done with active participation and engagement of women. They will play active role in community mobilization and awareness creation in nutrition intervention and in ensuring sustainability. It will contribute to gender equality in treating both male and female malnourished children under the age of five without discrimination. All data on beneficiary screening and SAM and MAM intervention, community mobilization, sensitization and distribution of supplies and provision of services will be gender dis-aggregated in order to attest gender equity while managing the project interventions.

In 2016, the Ethiopian Government and humanitarian partners successfully responded to the large-scale humanitarian impact of the drought assisting at least 10.2 million people with food, and rolling out the largest emergency seed response in the country to at least 1.5 million households. Some 3.1 million children were supported through the school feeding program, 2.7 million people were assisted with clean water, 2 million cases of Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) were supported with Targeted Supplementary Feeding, and more than 320,883 cases of Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) were treated.
The residual effects of the El Niño drought are expected to be felt throughout 2017 and at the same time, eastern and southern Ethiopia are in the grip of a new drought, as a result of failed 2016 spring and autumn rains, caused by the negative Indian Ocean Dipole (La Niña). This drought has left many more people at risk of developing severe forms of acute malnutrition, especially children and pregnant and lactating women who are the most vulnerable segment of the community.
Further to the hotspot classification released in December 2016, in comparison to the July 2016 hotspot classification, the total number of hotspot woredas increased by 14.6%.
The OTP admission trend in Somali region showed an increase of 44% from December 2016 (3,817) admissions to 5,492 in January 2017. Looking at the increase in OTP admissions, it is clear that the situation will likely further deteriorate with services being overburdened if timely support is not in place. Dollo Zone where GOAL Ethiopia is also proposing to respond exhibited an increase in admissions by 251.8%, from 299 in December 2016 to 1,052 in January 2017.
Through this grant GOAL will implement CMAM in four woredas of Dollo Zone: Warder, Bokh, Danote and Galhamer. The intervention will cover the entire woredas. Under this grant GOAL Ethiopia will implement the full components of CMAM: OTP, SC, TSFP (funded by WFP) and Community Mobilization. GOAL will also establish Mobile Health and Nutrition Team (MHNT) in order to provide mobile health care package including the following services: health promotion, screening for malnutrition, expanded programme of immunization, deworming, and referral.) for targeted Woredas. There is a public health emergency due to AWD, exacerbated by drought and a lack of water.
To carry out TSFP, GOAL Ethiopia will enter into a field Level Agreement (FLA) with WFP to implement TSFP in the four targeted woredas. This FLA will include food commodities as DIK, and funding for TSFP-associated operational costs.
Through on-the-job and off-the-job training, GOAL Ethiopia will build the capacity of Health Extension Workers and Health Workers on the management of acute malnutrition and Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices (IYCF). A total of 111 HWs and HEWs will receive training.
Through this grant GOAL will establish 33 OTP, and 4 Stabilization centers providing a service to approximately 856 severely acutely malnourished children under five. TSFP will be implemented (through WFP funding) for 6,025 moderately acutely malnourished children and 2,897 pregnant and lactating women. Approximately 1,376 caregivers will receive nutrition education.
OTP will be established as follows:
Warder 11, Danot 8, Bokh 10, and Galhamer 4

Anemia in children according to the same report showed that Somali Region has highest percentage of moderate anemia which is 52.2% while Severe anemia was 12.8% and the same report showed women anemia in Somali Region to be 24.4% moderate and 4.7% severe. With regards ANC attendance, Somali Region has the lowest percentage of women that has attended at least 4 ANC visits which only 11%. On the other hand only 21.8% of children 12-23 months received basic vaccinations.
On the hotspot classification, conducted in Dec. 2016, the two targeted woredas were categorized as Priority One. In Somali Region out of the 93 woredas listed in the classification, 72% were Hotspot 1 and the rest were categorized as hotspot 2. Being in the pastoralist area and coupled with other aggravating factors detailed below, Somali Region is in a very critical situation that requires immediate intervention. Action Against Hunger is currently responding in nutrition in 8 woredas and will be in a better position to expand its intervention to these 2 woredas: Daratole and Galagi woredas of Doolo Zone.

This intervention will prioritize prevention of and early treatment of acute malnutrition by supporting local health systems in Burka Dhimtu and Boke districts. 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. Technical support to Health Workers (HWs) and Health Extension Workers (HEWs) will be provided during regular MUAC screening, whereby in parallel, awareness in regards to acute malnutrition and IYCF among the community will be raised. Furthermore, IYCF-E will be reinforced, integrated and implemented with CMAM. Under this project, children under 5, and PLWs, will benefit from overall CMAM services as well as benefit from hygiene and sanitation activities that complement the nutrition support including the distribution Hygiene NFI i.e. water treatment chemicals, laundry soap and water container (Jerycan).
In addition to direct support for the target groups, Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSPF) sites will be renovated and/or opened wherever they are in close proximity to the beneficiaries with the aim of further strengthen the Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding program (OTP) in Health Posts. The project will also build the capacity of targeted district Health Offices through the provision of technical and logistical support to enable them to manage the treatment of severely malnourished children in health institutions. In total, 49 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP), 49 Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSPF) sites and 8 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened. Furthermore, the project aims to build the capacity of HWs on CMAM-IYCF service provision, and HEWs on IYCF- SAM management for improved quality SAM management service in SC and OTP respectively. These interventions will benefit the entire target community population in the 2 target districts.
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 women benefit. I.e. targeting specifically of women for some of the activities (i.e. PLW specific activities) and ensuring boys and girls participation in other activities that need their equal partaking(community mobilization sessions, screening, TSFP admission, OTP and SC referral linkage and case management, capacity building supports). The distribution centers will be made more accessible for the targets to avoid GBV.
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 strong emphasis of men’s involvement in child caring practices. Community awareness activities will cover both men and women to ensure practical applications are done at household level.
Child protection is a core value throughout the project implementation period. All training activities include a child protection module that presents the risks and issues children face during times of crisis, including sexual and gender based violence (SGBV), child labour, child marriage and separation.Plan InternationalPlan InternationalEthiopia Humanitarian FundMr. Pankaj Kumar Head of Programs +251 911 085258pankaj.kumar@plan-international.orgOromia7.50798643 38.76521270Nutrition220032.98220032.98Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan International132019.79Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan International88013.19Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan InternationalEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/N/INGO/5460United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAfar Region Emergency Nutrition Response projectThe overall objective of this project is to support the existing health system to manage increasing cases of acute malnutrition among children less than 5 years, and pregnant and lactating women in two woredas (Gewane and Buremudiatu) of zone three Afar Region.

These estimated cases consider vulnerable woredas countrywide, though the prioritization for further response will focus on areas identified as highly vulnerable in priority 1 and priority 2 at the very least. In addition, infant and young child feeding in emergencies (IYCF-E) response will be required for 1 million children through their caretakers and to 550,000 pregnant and lactating women. Responses will have be designed to populations with special needs including the elderly, children with disabilities, women of childbearing age and teenage mothers in particular.Because of the prolonged drought, Bale Zone lowland woredas are in dire need of immediate emergency nutrition responses vital to save lives and protect livelihoods. Save the Children(SC) is proposing a nutrition program that will include early detection, management and treatment of Severe Acute Malnutrition and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) in PLW and children. In this project, Save the Children will implement TSFP support in Hotspot 1 Woredas in collaboration with WFP and Woreda Health and DPPO through the provision of energy and nutrient supplements. Save the Children will be actively engaged in supporting routine Community Health Day (CHD) and monthly screening to maintain smooth referral linkages among Targeted Supplementary feeding (TSFP), Outreach Therapeutic Feeding Program (OTP), Stabilization center (SC) and to improve the nutritional status of drought-affected communities. SC will employ community mobilization and conduct regular joint supportive supervision, on the job training and support on supply chain management and medical supplies through the provision of logistic support. The project will further focus on specific support to address mothers facing difficulties with breastfeeding, enhancing the capacity of health facilities and woredas to manage nutrition emergencies through coordination support, provision of regular program supervision, formal training on CMAM and IYCF–E and on-the-job training and mentoring. Consolidating IEC/BCC activities by producing and distributing culturally sensitive counselling materials in coordination with FMOH/Regional Health Bureau. The project will incorporate provision jerry can amp water treatment chemicals to family of their children discharged from OTPs/SCs. In meantime also equipped selected heath facilities which not access potable water in order to delivered a hygienic nutrition services in the nutritional rehabilitation centers. Acutely malnourished children and moderately malnourished pregnant and lactating mothers (PLW) (and those at risk of this) will be priority targets for lifesaving health and nutrition activities. SAM children with medical complications will be referred to nearby stabilization centers that will be strengthened through capacity building of HWs, while MAM PLW will be referred to appropriate nearby treatment services. Children, PLW and communities affected by disease outbreaks will also be supported through enhancing lifesaving medical services. Health staff in health posts and health centers (HWs and HEWs) and HDA at community level will also benefit through capacity building. SC will be actively engaged in maintaining smooth referral linkage between OTP, SC and conduct community mobilization to strengthen the linkages. As part of making sure that beneficiary targetings are properly conducted and to ensure that limited resources are used appropriately, SC will continuously support monitoring the quality of actual measurement activities including but not limited to– measuring weights, heights, MUAC, and edema.

The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality related to acute malnutrition -in the target woredas.
The six- month project will target severely and moderately acute malnourished children below five years (U5) and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) using the Community Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) approach including Mobile Health Nutrition Teams in each of the woredas. A WASH component promoting five critical handwashing times has been included to prevent communicable disease break vector cycles associated with acute watery diarrhea (AWD) a phenomenon which is affecting most woredas of Somali region.
MC aims to reach 12,281 beneficiaries ( U5 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) to address severe and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) for U5 and MAM for PLW. 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 counseling on Maternal Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) and personal and household level hygiene.
The intervention comprises three components:
SCs will support delivery of inpatient care treatment for children suffering from SAM with medical complications (an estimated 10% of SAM cases). Children referred to the SCs will receive intensive medical care 24 hours a day until stabilized – this includes management of complications, treatment for underlying infection, and the provision of therapeutic food. Once stabilized, children will be discharged to the OTP nearest to their home. All children less than 6 months of age with signs of visible wasting or edema will be treated in the SC.
OTPs will deliver comprehensive outpatient care for children with uncomplicated SAM. Children will be assessed and if their MUAC is lt11cm or if they have oedema of both feet and passing appetite test they will be admitted in OTP. Upon entry, children will undergo a routine health assessment, treatment for underlying infections and receive a one-week supply of Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF). Weekly thereafter, for static clinics, patients will return for a medical assessment and additional one week supply of RUTF. Other medicines and micronutrients like de-worming drugs, vitamin A capsules, folic acid and antibiotics, will appropriately be given as per the Emergency Nutrition Response guidelines. Upon discharge, children will be referred to a TSFP program for 3 months to prevent recurrence of malnutrition. The project team and two Health Extension Workers (HEWs) will form the Mobile Health and Nutrition Team which will address the hard to reach areas and provide weekly support and supervision and on the job capacity building for all static OTPS and SCs. TSFP: will be attached to each of the OTP sites to treat MAM U5 and PLW with children less than 6 months old. Patients will be screened and admitted when their Mid Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) is between 11 to 12.0 cm (U5) and less than 23 cm for PLW. The MAM admitted beneficiaries wwould be monitored on a monthly basis. Enhanced Outreach Services (EOS) and MC’s active case finding, according to national guidelines, will be used to identify and admit beneficiaries.

Continued drought, and lack of clean water and food among IDP communities has led to the development of both severe and moderate acute malnutrition among the children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. In addition the influx of IDPs into the targeted woredas has put a strain on existing host community resources and health worker capacity.
GOAL proposes a six-month CMAM intervention to respond to the needs in the following woredas:
Deder, Oda Bultum, Daru Lebo, Siraro, Dolo Mena, Meda Welabu, Harena Buluk, and Goro Dola
Proposed areas of intervention have been discussed with the ENCU at Federal and Regional level and are among those prioritised under this allocation.
Activities will consist of:
- Supporting health workers and health extension workers in the treatment of severe acute malnutrition via out-patient therapeutic programme and stabilization centres
- Community mobilization and screening
- Education on Infant and Young Child Feeding
- Capacity building, and on-the-job coaching of health workers and health extension workers on management of acute malnutrition and IYCF

This intervention will prioritize the prevention of and early treatment of acute malnutrition by supporting local health systems in Boke, Burqa-dhintu amp Guba Koriche districts of West Harerghe and Dugda-dawa, Melka-soda and Sorro-barguda 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 as well as technical and logistic support in all targeted districts. 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 including the distribution of water treatment chemicals, laundry soap and water container (jerry cans).
In addition in all targeted 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 targeted 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, 121 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) and 18 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened through technical and logistic supports. Moreover, 96 OTP sites and 12 SC will be further strengthened by furnishing with essential CMAM supplies as required.
Furthermore, the project aims to build the capacity of 48 HWs on CMAM-IYCF service provision, and 160 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.Plan InternationalPlan InternationalEthiopia Humanitarian FundAbadi AmduInterim Country Director+251912862269Abadi.Amdu@plan-international.orgTamirat KetemaNutrition In Emergency Specialist +251912108999tamirat.ketema@plan-international.orgOromia7.50798643 38.76521270Nutrition502811.07502811.07Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan International251405.54Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan International237396.88Ethiopia Humanitarian FundPlan InternationalEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/N/INGO/7637United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Nutrition response in drought affected nine woredas of Sitti, Jarar and Fafan Zones, Somali Region.Save the Children is proposing an emergency nutrition response to reduce the morbidity and mortality of under five children , pregnant and lactating women due to deterioration of the nutritional status among severely drought-affected communities in Erer, Gablalu, Ayisha ,Shinile, Harshin, Gashamo, Babile, Koran amp Daror woredas of Sitti, Jarar amp Fafan zone, Somali region.

According to the Humanitarian Requirement Document to be released in January, an estimated 320,000 children under five will need treatment for Severe Acute Malnutrition in 2018. Furthermore, inter-communal conflicts along the border of Somali and Oromia regions led to massive displacement of populations already affected by the ongoing drought. According to IOM and the Government, an estimated 1.3 million (64 per cent of whom are children) have been internally displaced throughout Ethiopia since 2015 due to conflicts, food insecurity, and other natural disasters.
The majority of the conflict-induced displacements are found in Somali and Oromia, and are likely to remain displaced in 2018.
In both man-made and natural disaster settings, children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) are two of the most vulnerable groups, as they are often left without access to appropriate care, and face increasing risks of malnutrition and other health issues. To respond to their needs, UNICEF proposes to procure, manage, and distribute BP5 (energy-dense biscuits designed for emergency settings) to 16,000 children aged 6-59 months (8,000 girls and 8,000 boys) and 3,500 PLWs in Oromia and Somali regions. BPs will be used as breakthrough ration to target IDPs in conflict areas where targeted supplementary feeding programme (TSFP) and general food distribution (GFD) access has been severely compromised due to road insecurity and other access issues. The proposal will also support the government system, including ENCU, to better monitor and coordinate the emergency nutrition response.

According to Round 3 of IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) a total of 40,016 households (representing 268,782 individuals) are currently displaced as a result of conflict. The majority of conflict displaced-households are located in Somali (22,886), Oromia (8,761) and Gambella (2,109) regions. In the first two weeks of March, data obtained from IOM’s Emergency Tracking Tool, which gathers information on displacement between published rounds of DTM, demonstrates an increase of 11,761 households displaced (representing 60,870 individuals) as a result of conflict in Somali and Oromia regions, highlighting displacement of households as a result of conflict. The present action prioritizes Somali, Oromia and Gambella regions as 84% of the overall conflict-displaced households are located in these regions. Other conflict-affected regions, including Afar, Amhara, Tigray and Harari reported a total displacement of 6,260 households, as per DTM Round 3.
The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following Cluster members: the International Organization for Migration (IOM)/Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS as implementing partner) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC). Currently, IOM has 8,500 ES/NFI kits and 10,753 Dignity kits prepositioned. Of these, 3,000 ES/NFI kits and 3,795 dignity kits will be provided to NRC for distribution through separate donor funding.
Within the proposed action, IOM will replenish the prepositioned stock by procuring an additional 2,400 ES/NFI kits and 3,795 dignity kits. IOM and NRC will distribute the total of 7,900 ES/NFI kits and 10,753 dignity kits (5,500 prepositioned + 2,400 procured). The ES/NFI kits will be fully procured by IOM and distributed by IOM and NRC (3,950 ES/NFI kits and 5,377 dignity kits each) in Oromia (38%), Somali (38%) and Gambela (14%) ‘Other’ (10%) regions. Exact areas of distribution will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI Cluster agencies in coordination with regional and zonal government authorities. IOM will engage ERCS as an implementing partner for ES/NFI and Dignity kit distributions based on the agency’s wide geographic coverage, cost effectiveness and past partnership history with IOM.
IOM and NRC will provide cash-based assistance for 600 households (300 household per agency) in project locations with access to quality materials in the local market. This cash-based assistance follows on the successful IOM cash pilot funded by EHF and will contribute to the ES/NFI Cluster’s continued development of experienced based knowledge on cash interventions in the sector. In total, 8,500 households will receive ES/NFI assistance (7,900 in kind and 600 in cash) while a total of 10,753 women from ES/NFI beneficiary households will receive in kind dignity kits.

With increasing displacement throughout the country due to the worsening drought and on-going conflict along regional and external border areas, ensuring continued and timely information dissemination on the urgent needs of displaced populations remains a priority of the Government of Ethiopia and humanitarian community.
The International Organisation for Migration (IOM) has been tasked by the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team (EHCT) to regularly track, map and report on internal displacement through the implementation of its Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) tool. IOM’s DTM programme is implemented in collaboration with the national Disaster Risk Management Commission (NDRMC), regional, zonal and woreda counterparts and implementing partners the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) and Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS).
In September 2016, IOM scaled up its institutional capacity and operational presence throughout the country with nation-wide DTM rolled out every two months (“Round”). DTM round assessments are conducted at Zone, Woreda and site level. Under the present project, IOM will continue conducting Baseline Area and Location Profiling (Zone / Woreda) as well as IDP Site Assessments further outlined below:
1) Baseline Area Profiling and Baseline Location Profiling
Baseline Area and Location Profiling will be conducted to establish baseline information of IDPs across the country. The information will be collected from local key informants and the information gathered will include estimation of existence and number of the displaced populations at Zone (Baseline Area) and Woreda (Baseline Location) level disaggregated by type of temporary settlements as well as approximate locations of identifiable displacement sites.
2) IDP Site Assessment (Protection Enhanced)
In-depth IDP Site Assessment will be conducted based on the information gathered through the Baseline Location Porfiling. All displacement sites identified through Baseline Location Profiling will be targeted for IDP Site Assessments where data will be collected from key informants at site level.
Each round of DTM will result in the production and dissemination of a national-level dashboard and regional reports. The information will be supplemented by IOM’s Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) which captures new displacements between published rounds and is disseminated to partners.
Within the proposed project, the information gathered through two rounds of DTM will aim to assess the humanitarian multi-sectoral needs of approximately 700,000 internally displaced individuals. To achieve this, IOM will roll-out DTM every two months in collaboration with the Ethiopian Red Cross Society and Danish Refugee Council (with already existing partnership arrangements), IOM data enumerators and regional DTM assistants. During the collection of data, IOM will continue to implement its Emergency Tracking Tool (ETT) to provide a steady flow of information on new displacements to inform and enable humanitarian partners for immediate response.

It also aims to empower camp communities to participate in GBV prevention and response, to improve quality of GBV services and promote community’s access to the services, and to strengthen coordination and inter-agency work on GBV in the camps, including building local capacity.
From funding from other sources, International Medical Corps implements a survivor-centered approach, whereby caseworkers make themselves available for survivors who self-report and seek support. Community members have access to information of the different available services through house to house outreach mechanism and are encouraged to seek for services. Moreover, information is provided in the Women and Girls Friendly Spaces about available services and the use of reporting within 72 and 120 hours. International Medical Corps will work very closely with health centers in the different camps to ensure that survivors of sexual assault receive post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) within 72 hours and to receive Emergency Contraceptive (EC) within 120 hours. With the funding from UNOCHA, the project plans to reinforce the already existing services such as case management, psycho-social activities in the Women and Girls Friendly Spaces (WGFS), outreach activities and will coordinate and work closely with UNHCR and ARRA to address the needs of survivors. The already existing structures such as the WGFS, will be used for the psychosocial activities, life skills discussions and individual case management services. In addition, it will also introduce a new activity such closely working with adolescent girls on life skills discussions. With the funding from UNOCHA, the project plans to engage adolescent girls, their parents and the community leaders to improve their safety and wellbeing. The project will target out of school adolescent girls and conduct life skills discussions on a regular basis to minimize risks and their vulnerability. Preliminary discussions with the community and observation show that early marriage is highly practiced in the South Sudanese community but only very few cases are reported. Trained social workers will conduct the life skills discussions in the WGFS based on the timing that is convenient for the adolescent girls. Moreover, the project will also involve the parents on a regular basis so that they have a clear understanding of the program and support their girl’s education. Awareness raising activities on early marriage will also be conducted targeting parents husbands, refugee leaders and Parent Teachers Association (PTA). International Medical Corps recognizes the fact that men and boys play a big role in the awareness raising and with fathers, husbands, community leaders (which are highly dominated by men) and other community members as part of the regular awareness raising and they will also be part of the mini and mass awareness raising programs. International Women’s Day will also be celebrated during this time and the theme will be on early marriage.

The Somali Regional State is one of the regions of the country most significantly affected by the negative Indian Ocean Dipole. Most of the woredas (districts) in the region remain classified as hotspot priorities. The region is currently hosting 354,277 internally displaced persons (IDPs). The Somali Meher Assessment findings from December 2016 report a high concentration of conflict affected IDPs in in Babile/ Qoloji, Fafan zone. In addition to displacement related to conflict, the area also hosts a large number of IOD - drought related IDPs.
The Meher assessment highlights immediate concerns affecting the wellbeing of children in this zone. These include separation of children, psychological distress, child labor and GBV / domestic violence as main protection issues that need to be addressed urgently. More specifically the assessment refers to:
Separation of children from parents or caregivers due to migration: 54% of respondents reported cases of children migrating alone (without caregivers) from rural to urban areas in search of livelihoods opportunities due to harsh economic conditions back home, and 11% of respondents reported that children were left behind by parents / caregivers who were migrating
Psychosocial Distress: 83% of respondents reported children experiencing psychological distress as a result of displacement. The main behavioral changes noted include unusual crying/screaming, disruption in sleep patterns, sadness, and unwillingness to go to school.
Child labor: The Meher Assessment reports that 97 % respondents report children being subject to child labour. The assessment also points out an increase in the number and proportion of children involved in harsh and dangerous types of work, including fetching water from long distances and livestock rearing.
GBV and domestic violence: was also reported by 54% of respondents, and remains a main protection concern, including an increase in child marriage in some areas.
In addition to the above, the overall psychosocial wellbeing of children was is reported to be deteriorating by 75% of respondents, with boys and girls appearing to be equally affected
Displacement as a result of emergency (conflict and / or drought) affects women, boys and girls disproportionately, and tends to increase the protection needs of women and children significantly.
This project aims to prevent, respond and mitigate risks related to child abuse, violence, exploitation and neglect, including forced and early marriage and gender base violence, for boys, girls living in conflict and drought-affected IDP areas of Babile Woreda, specifically in Qoloji IDP site in Fafan Zone. In response to the problems identified above, the IRC plans to establish temporary safe healing and learning spaces (SHLS) and provide psycho-social support activities promoting children’s well-being and resilience strengthen community-based mechanisms for the identification and referral of at-risk children to appropriate service providers and enhance community capacity in responding to child protection cases, including for adolescent girls, unaccompanied and separated children (UASC) and other at-risk children in Qoloji IDP site. In order to strengthen the multi-sectorial capacity and coordination of service providers and government structures, targeted capacity building trainings and technical support will be provided in a coordinated manner. This will include building the capacity of the Woreda Women and Children Affairs Office to establish a mechanism of community-based support for UASC and other at-risk children. The intervention aims to promote the safeguarding of children through community-based alternative care arrangements for UASC and other support mechanisms ensuring that children are safe and protected.

The region currently hosts 397,254 displaced individuals in 59,502 households in 222 sites, out of which 50.2% are male and 49.8% are female, out of the total figure, 64.6% are 18 years old or younger. 5.6 million children and their families remain at risk due to the shortage of food and water, and the risk of disease outbreaks, over two million children are currently malnourished and require urgent nutritional support to enable them to survive this crisis early marriage and child labour are some of the negative coping mechanisms that are being employed during the crisis that increase the risk of violence for boys and girls. The protection analysis generated from the Meher assessment which is conducted in Somali region indicate a high prevalence of sexual violence and domestic violence against women and children, due to cultural beliefs, which is exacerbated by drought and conflict, of which has been underreported.. T here are around 209 reported cases of violence against women and children that occurred at home. This finding also supported by IRC GBV rapid assessment in Fafen zone indicated a higher prevalence of early/forced marriage within the IDP camps, which was largely the result of the loss of assets and livelihoods. Young girls are often given to older wealthier men in exchange of money.
According to the displacement tracking matrix (DTM) for Somali regi 90 sites reported harmful traditional practices and 11 sites showed child protection incidents. Moreover, the 2017 HRD also stated that during displacement, due to the emergency, the needs of women and girls of reproductive age in terms of safety, security, as well as hygiene are significantly increased, and that pre-existing gender inequalities are exacerbated and thus put women and girls at higher risk of Gender Based Violence (GBV). GBV risks include rape and other sexual violence, abduction, forced marriage, and forced pregnancy. The document also highlights limited access to basic services for the most vulnerable groups, mainly people living with disabilities, the elderly, and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In addition, the Meher assessment conducted in 2016 also reveals that the most commonly reported child protection risks (reported in more than 50% of assessed woredas across most regions) include children migrating without parents, child marriage, psychosocial distress, and sexual violence against women and girls (including rape) while moving outside their home. These risks are considered to have significantly increased in the last three months . According to the Inter-Agency Protection Field Mission report and IRC GBV rapid assessment report carried out in March and September 2016 in Fafan zones consecutively, access to basic services is currently inadequate, and the long distances that women and girls have to travel to fetch water and collect firewood is exposing them to various protection risks including sexual violence. Addressing women and girls exposure to the abuse and exploitation will narrow the existing gender gaps across the affected woredas.
This project aims to address gender based violence and child protection gaps for IDPs and communities living in drought affected districts (i.e. Gursum and Tuluguled) in Fafen Zone in Somali region through establishment and strengthening of temporary women and children safe spaces for life saving psycho-social support, strengthening referral pathways and community based structures, and curriculum based awareness raising activity to women, children and parents.

This intervention will target a total of 15 IDP sites in Babile, Gursum and Tuli-Guled (Jijiga) Woredas, Fafan Zone, and in Filtu and Hudet Woredas, Liben Zone, estimated to hosting more than 70% of the IDPs in these two zones.
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 Fafan zone. Under this intervention, DRC aims to ensure that:
Outcome 1: The safety, protection and dignity of internally displaced persons in IDP settlements are enhanced.
Outcome 2: The most vulnerable IDPs, including women, children, persons with special needs and the elderly, have enhanced access to basic services and mitigation of vulnerabilities.
Outcome 3: Somali regional and local authorities as well as international humanitarian partners have enhanced capacity to identify protection risks and to prevent and respond accordingly.
DRC will achieve Outcome 1 by providing technical and training support to IDP communities, government duty-bearers and other humanitarian stakeholders to identify and respond to protection risks and concerns (Output 1.1): DRC will conduct weekly visits to each IDP settlement to map new and developing needs and any gaps in the quality or access to service delivery to IDPs. DRC will utilize this as a basis for engaging with relevant stakeholders for extension of services. DRC will facilitate the establishment of community based protection focal points, delivering training and awareness raising on the identification and response to protection risks, and supporting the protection focal points in promoting awareness of protection risks, special needs and services available. A special focus will be on identifying and responding to child protection and sexual and gender based violence prevention and response.
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 mapping of and the linking up of community-based protection focal points to service providers for each IDP site. DRC will support these focal points to make referrals or, where relevant, make such referrals directly. DRC will support local duty-bearers to address violations and vulnerabilities, including by providing individual protection assistance for up to 200 cases as required. DRC will ensure that the most vulnerable have adequate access to information regarding age and gender specific services available, by ensuring that awareness raising is delivered in age and gender sensitive spaces and linked up with activities that reduce the risk of stigma or exposure
DRC will achieve Outcome 3 by facilitating the deployment of a Protection Cluster Co-Faciitator (PCC) for the Somali Region who, with the support of UNHCR’s Office in Jijiga, will help establish and facilitate the regional Protection Cluster to be established in the region. Under this outcome, the PCC will facilitate the mapping of protection actors in the region, encourage their participation in relevant meetings and activities, oversee and support the collation of information gathered by mobile protection teams other service providers, and ensure and maintain an operational focus directed at resolving protection concerns, and enhance the coordination at regional level and between Somali region and stakeholders Addis Ababa.Danish Refugee CouncilDanish Refugee CouncilEthiopia Humanitarian FundJames CurtisCountry Director+251 (0) 915 330 556 j.curtis@drcethiopia.orgAnna Catherine de LaineHead of Programs+251 (0) 966 035 73a.delaine@drcethiopia.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Protection190510.95109489.05300000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council300000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee CouncilEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/P/INGO/5358United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Protection Response for Most Vulnerable Groups in IDP Sites of Somali RegionThe project aims to improve protection response for the most vulnerable groups living in IDP camps in four woredas in Doolo zone and one woreda in Jarar zone of Somali region, Ethiopia. Key intervention focus includes: deploying protection mobile teams and setting up friendly spaces for women and children in the targeted IDP camps.
The mobile protection team will help strengthen existing community based structures to provide minimum services in identification, prevention, monitoring and referral link services, in coordination nwith the regional protection cluster coordinator, to address protection needs of vulnerable groups. The team will conduct vulnerability risk analysis and mapping of services in 47 IDP sites in the five woredas and train community safety committees and traditional leaders that work with community safety committees. The mobile teams, in coordination with the Somali region protection cluster coordinator, will also engage in local advocacy and capacity building of local government and other humanitarian actors to mainstream protection in their interventions.
The women and children friendly spaces set up in five IDP sites will provide space where women and children can access information and receive psychosocial support in addition to helping to identify, prevent and respond to child protection and GBV concerns in the sites. The friendly spaces will be located in temporary learning or health centers to maximize integration and cross referrals.

South Sudanese refugees form the largest refugee population group and are accommodated in existing as well as new refugee camps located in Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz (Assosa) Regions. Most of the South Sudanese refugees arrived after the outbreak of violence in South Sudan at the end of 2013. However, a new outbreak of violence in South Sudan triggered a new influx of refugees in September 2016.
As of 6 December 2016, Ethiopia hosted around 331,000 South Sudanese refugees and asylum-seekers in Ethiopia (combined Gambella and Assosa camps), including 46,062 new arrivals that originate mostly from Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity states (majority of women and children) since 3 September 2016 (UNHCR Ethiopia Update 18 Oct 2016). More arrivals are is anticipated in Gambella and Assosa as violence continues to limit humanitarian access across South Sudan and prompts South Sudanese to flee to neighboring countries (South Sudan-Crisis, USAID Fact Sheet #2, FY 2017 December 2, 2016)
Gambella Region is home to the oldest refugee camp hosting South Sudanese refugees still in operation, Pugnido I, which was opened in 1993. From 2013 - 2015, five camps were established in different locations around Gambella: Okugo, Pugnido II, Tierkidi, Kule and Jewi camps. One additional camp (Nguenyyiel) was established in November 2016 in response to the recent influx of refugees and takes the total number of refugee camps in Gambella to seven. The IRC has been active in Gambella Region since 2012, when it began implementing water supply improvement interventions for Sudanese refugees in Pugnido I Camp. The IRC then took on the full WASH mandate in Pugnido I camp in 2013. Since the, the madate has expanded to providing WASH services in two more refugee camps: Pugnido II and Tierkidi, as well as managing the water supply in Kule camp. The IRC has responded to WASH needs through a variety of activities, including the construction of a range of water supply systems and sanitation facilities for refugees, the installation amp operation of water treatment systems, and the distribution of water treatment chemicals and jerry cans for safe water collection and household storage, as well as hygiene promotion activities implemented through community health clubs, house to house sensitization, sanitation campaigns, solid waste management, etc.
This project aims to address the sanitation and hygiene needs in two targeted refugee camps: Pugnido I and Pugnido II, through the construction of household latrines amp solid waste disposal pits, and the implementation of hygiene promotion activities. Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services are at sub-standard level in the camps, and result in increased risk of communicable diseases, such as Hepatitis E, and diarrheal diseases, including Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD).
Pugnido I Camp is located in Goge Woreda it is situated 3km outside of Pugnido Town, 150km from the regional town of Gambella via a rough amp unpaved road, and 850km from Addis Ababa through the town of Gambella. Pugnido II camp is located in the same woreda of Goge and situated about 12 km from Pugnido town.
Security remains a concern particularly in Gambella where major incidents occurred since early 2016, making access to refugee compass more challenging. The mixed ethnic composition, with Nuer refugees hosted in areas inhabited by Ethiopian Anuak creates further tensions, particularly when taking into account the historical context of tensionand conflict between both ethnic groups

Benishangul-Gumuz’soldest refugee camp hosting refugees from Sudan and South Sudan, and still in operation, Sherkole, was opened in 1997. Since 2011, three additional camps were established around Assosa, regional capital: Bambasi, Tongo and Tsore camps. The IRC has been active in Benishangul-Gumuz Region since 2002, when it began implementing WASH interventions for Sudanese refugees in Sherkole Camp, and expanded the WASH support program to two more refugee camps Tongo and Tsore camps. Since then, the IRC has responded to WASH needs through a variety of activities, including the construction of a range of water supply systems and sanitation facilities for refugees, the operation of water treatment systems, and the distribution of water treatment chemicals and jerry cans for safe water collection and household storage, as well as hygiene promotion activities implemented through community health clubs, house to house sensitization, sanitation campaigns, solid waste management, etc.
This project aims to address the water supply improvement needs of Tongo refugee-town water supply system as well as sanitation and hygiene needs in three targeted refugee camps Tongo, Sherkole and Tsore., through the rehabilitation of main components of the Tongo refugee-town water supply system, construction of household latrines and solid waste disposal pits, as well as hygiene promotion activities to enable the target refugees to live in conditions that preserve their sense of dignity.

Poor water quality poses health risk in most Woredas assessed. About 30% of boreholes are not functioning due to mechanical and operational problems. This situation is expected to grow in severity in the coming weeks because of the long dry season Jilal that will begin in January and last up to the end of March 2017.
Oxfam following its humanitarian mandate and in consultation with WASH cluster and Somali regional government has developed this proposal to provide urgent humanitarian assistance in terms of providing potable water (5 Lt / person / day for 75 days) to the worst affected people. Oxfam through this project plans to reach out to 190,568 vulnerable children, women and men (approximately 15.25% of the worst affected population) from 31,761 households in 66 Kebele of 9 Woreda across worst affected 4 zones of Somali region namely Doolo, Korahe, Jarar and Afder with emergency water services (water trucking and maintenance of strategic boreholes to ensure their continuous functioning to fill water trucks). In addition, in coordination with education and health cluster, wherever feasible, it plans to prioritise schools and health posts in those target areas for providing water. The project also plans to ensure safety of water through need based treatment of water from source to end user and community mobilisation and awareness on safe handling of water. Oxfam while implementation of this project commits to meet Sphere minimum standard as well as standards set by Somai regional government such as provision of 5 Lt potable water / person / day. The project duration is three months (Jan – March 2017) and Oxfam proposes a total budget of 2,500,000 USD (55,000,002 ETB) with just over 2% of support cost to implement this project.

In addition, it has planned to make hygiene promotion and constructing/ rehabilitating of 18 emergency water harvesting structures (9in the schools, 9 in the health facilities) to address the institutional WASH problem. It will also make capacity building for the community and woreda offices. To have better impact from implementing complete WASH components, the hardware intervention is complimented by hygiene and sanitation intervention. This emergency WASH project will reach a total of 58167 direct drought affected beneficiaries and 245,023 indirect beneficiaries. In addition a total of 11,050 livestock will benefit from the rehabilitation of water schemes.Action Against HungerAction Against HungerEthiopia Humanitarian FundChristina Thevenot Country Director+251911214044cd@et.missions-acf.orgOromia7.50798643 38.76521270Water Sanitation Hygiene458875.0641093.29499968.35Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAction Against Hunger399974.68Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAction Against Hunger99993.67Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAction Against HungerEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/WASH/INGO/5303United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency WaSH Response to Drought Affected IDPs and Host Community in Erer and Jarar Zones of Somali RegionThe Deyr / Meher Assessment of November 2016, led by the Somali Regional Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau (DPPB) and OCHA with support of humanitarian organizations, including NRC revealed that approximately 1,252,070 individuals in 460 Kebeles of 63 Woreda (70%) in all the 9 Zones of Somali Region are facing critical water shortages and are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. The dire situation faced by IDP and host communities is compounded by an outbreak of Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) in the region, which has affected thousands of people in the Somali region. Urgent humanitarian intervention by government ministries, UN agencies, and operational NGOs, is required.
Following consultations with WaSH Cluster and the Somali Regional Government, NRC proposes to work in two of the most distant and severely affected AWD hotspots: Erer and Jarar zones. We propose to assist 100502 drought affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host community individuals (16750 households). In consideration of the responsibilities that women and girls face in collecting water and taking care of ill family members, NRC will make sure that the WaSH needs of women and children are at the centre of our response. Project activities include:
Emergency water trucking to drought affected IDP and host community households.
Institutional water trucking (Schools, Health Centres and CTCs) not covered by other partners.
Distribution, training and monitoring of water treatment methods at communal and household levels.
Distribution of environmental cleaning campaign tools / equipment (Wheel barrow, Rake, Shovel).
AWD focused hygiene and zero open defection campaigns targeted towards different stakeholders and vulnerable groups.
Construction of communal latrines at IDP sites / settlements, schools, health centres and CTCs.
School hygiene and sanitation campaigns
Jerry can cleaning campaigns.
Latrine cleaning kits (per latrine).
Training of WaSH Management Committees.
This project will address the urgent humanitarian needs of 94056 vulnerable persons comprising the worst drought affected population in Errer and Jarar Zones in Somali Region, Ethiopia. The project will ensure the safety of water through active support and monitoring of water treatment at distribution points and households and providing the knowledge and tools for widespread safe handling of water as a line of defence against AWD. Although the remote IDP locations where NRC operates makes it difficult for daily monitoring, NRC intends to meet or exceed SPHERE minimum standards for safe and potable water per person per day.
NRC will implement the project with and through with local partners, Pastoral Welfare Organization (PWO) in Errer Zone and Organization for Welfare and Development in Action (OWDA) in Jarar Zone. The will be implemented for six months’ period starting from 1st May 2017 to 31st October 2017

While the country continues to respond to residual needs from the past drought, below average rains in the southern and eastern parts of the country caused by the negative Indian Ocean Dipole have left 5.6 million people, largely pastoralists and agro-pastoralists, in need of humanitarian assistance in 20171. (Ethiopia weekly humanitarian bulletin, 13 March 2017, UN office for the coordination of humanitarian affair)
The limited Kiremt and Belg rains reduced the recharge and storage of rain-fed shallow aquifers which resulted in the drying up and increased non functionality of hand dug wells, spring and ponds. The Meher assessment that was carried out in December 2016 in 7 regions indicates that some 6.4 million people in 200 woredas are still living in acute water scares areas. This is due to increased non-functionality of water points in the identified woredas, poor rain and lowering of ground water. Lack of WASH facilities and water supply was also identified in many schools and health facilities.
Inadequate sanitation and hygiene practices and poor access to safe drinking water are key aspects in the cycle of disease, hunger, and poverty. The positive effects of WASH are directly linked to food security, in particular on health and nutrition, but also on economy, education and gender, appear to be derived from multiple interactions linked to improvements in household sanitation and hygiene practices, improvements in water quality and the quantity of water consumed.
The overall objective of this project is to provide lifesaving emergency WASH Program for seven drought affected communities in SNNP and Oromia Regional States. The Woredas are Bena Tsemay, Male, Amaro and Kochere from SNNPR and Melka Bello, Dugda Dawa, and Melka Soda form Oromia. This Emergency Water, Sanitation and hygiene intervention will improve access to safe water for community and livestokes, reduce diarrhea and infectious diseases and avoid conflict among the populations due to water shortages in the affected areas. The targeted project interventions are drilling of shallow wells, rehabilitation of damaged water schemes, upgrading of existing water systems, pipeline extension to institutions, rehabilitation and construction of VIP latrines for health institutions hygiene education for proper hygiene practices and empowering the community to ensure sustainability of the projects. Additionally, water purification equipment will be distributed and the community will be trained to enhance the knowledge on household and community water quality.
The project will be implemented for nine months in the seven Woredas. In order to attain the project objective, WVE will deploy rehabilitation of WASH systems, capacity building, and community mobilization and formation/strengthening of WASH Committees. The project will directly benefit 111,124 people of the selected woredas. This project prioritizes those most vulnerable groups of people, especially children with high degree of vulnerability as primary beneficiaries. In addition, the project is designed to integrate gender throughout the interventions. The project considers the integration of other projects such as quality education for boys and girls, improving household food security, improving health and nutrition status and improved care and participation of children. The total budget/cost for the project including WV cost share will be USD745,507. WV will contribute a cost share of USD 45,500 on top of the USD 700,007 funded by OCHA.World Vision EthiopiaWorld Vision EthiopiaEthiopia Humanitarian FundEdward BrownNational Director +251 966 21 66 25 edward_brown@wvi.org Oromia7.50798643 38.76521270SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Water Sanitation Hygiene430699.20266076.40696775.60Ethiopia Humanitarian FundWorld Vision Ethiopia557420.48Ethiopia Humanitarian FundWorld Vision Ethiopia139355.12Ethiopia Humanitarian FundWorld Vision Ethiopia1744.54World Vision EthiopiaUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/WASH/INGO/5814United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Water Trucking in Somali RegionProject Summary : The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia remains extreme a complete failure of both rainy seasons (the Gu amp Dyer seasons, 2016) has led to a new onset of drought particularly in Southern and South Eastern parts of Ethiopia, currently affecting 5.6 million people of which over 1.2 million are in the Somali region (HRD 2017). With drought and internal conflict displacing people from their communities, many are currently taking shelter in 222 Internal displaced Population (IDP) sites in the Somali Region (IOM, DTM, 2017). A total of 1.252.070 persons across all nine zones of Somali region are in urgent need of water 100.000 children are out of school 25% of boreholes are not functional and 95% of the surface water sources are currently empty (HRD 2017).
The action aims to improve access to safe water through emergency water trucking to the drought affected communities and institutions Oxfam plans to reach 141.500 people with emergency water service – 5 Lt/p/d for total 45 days. Also 120.000 individuals will be sensitised on hygiene promotion measures with focus on disease outbreak (particularly AWD) including training of community Hygiene Promoters, awareness campaigns, community mobilisation etc.
The action will be implemented in the areas were Oxfam and its partners are already operating, including in Nogab, Erer, Fafan, Jarar, Korahey and Doolo zones, with a focus on six IDP sites in Jarar, Afder and Doolo Zones. Excluding Fafan, the action will cover at least 3 CTCs/CTUs in each of the targeted zones, therefore a total of 15 CTCs/CTUs will be covered at minimum. In each of the targeted zones, two distribution sites will be identified (subject to change based on AWD reported cases/sites) where 2 Roto tanks (12 in total) will be installed to facilitate safe distribution of water to the end beneficiaries.
The project will be implemented by Oxfam in grant based partnership with its existing local NGO partners. While the final decision of engaging partner NGOs will depend on the target geography (to be provided by regional water bureau and endorsed by regional WASH cluster) Oxfam intend to partner with Organisation for Welfare and Development Action (OWDA) and Pastoral Concern (PC) in Doolo and Afder Zone.
Once the target areas are finalised for water trucking in consultation with WaSH Cluster and regional government, Oxfam would deploy semi operational approach to start implementation of the project. The semi operational approach means that in some places (Zones), Oxfam is going to have direct implementation (through its own staff) and in other places (Zones), Oxfam will have grant partnership with partners (local NGOs). Grant partnership with partners for their respective target areas will include activity cost (water trucking etc) and support cost (staff salaries, transport cost, MampE, other essential support costs to enable them to implement the project). The partnership with these local NGOs with deep knowledge of the area will help Oxfam safely accomplish the implementation of the project.
Oxfam’s current footprint in Somali region under water trucking initiative includes Doolo, Korahe, Fafan, Jarar, Afder, Nogobo, Erer and Korahey where currently close to 400.000 individuals are being reached through water trucking initiative. As part of Drought response strategy 2017, Oxfam plans to ensure continuous access to safe water for 500.000 individuals in the Somali region, primarily through water trucking with focus on AWD affected areas. Additionally Oxfam plans to continue to provide water to 85 institutions including schools and health facilities. This proposed action will largely complement Oxfam's existing water trucking initiative, with few other secured funding sources expiring by end of April/early May 2017, therefore will enable Oxfam to maintain the overall target and over the course of the next 30-45 days secure further funding to ensure this life saving activity isn't intOXFAM GBOXFAM GBOgaden Welfare and Development AssociationPastoral ConcernEthiopia Humanitarian FundMark AttertonCountry Director+251 (0) 911215224MAtterton@oxfam.org.ukZerihun EndaleCountry Funding Advisor+251 913 240976zendale@oxfam.org.ukSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Water Sanitation Hygiene1000000.001000000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB800000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB177745.26Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GBEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/CP/WASH/UN/4451United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency WASH response to support the Government of Ethiopia's Drought ResponseEthiopia’s low availability of water has been further exacerbated by poor Meher rains and the El Nino weather phenomenon followed by the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD), which led to ground water tables not recharging/refilling. In addition, a high number of non-functioning water points as well as low water access coverage has added to the problem. The Government of Ethiopia, through the Ministry of Water, Irrigation and Energy (MoWIE), has requested urgent assistance to support their ongoing efforts to supply emergency water rations to drought-affected regions. Due to the urgent nature of the request, the proposed modality for the provision of water is via water trucking and distribution of water chemicals. The proposed trucking project will follow government water trucking guidelines and will be conducted in the drought-affected Zones of Oromia only. Additionally, this proposal will supply household water treatment chemicals to IOD affected populations in Oromia and Somali regions. The total number of beneficiaries is 272,727 for water trucking in Oromia plus 620,000 beneficiaries in Somali and Oromia regions with household water treatment chemicals.

The hotspot classification revised in December 2016 identified 192 priority 1 woredas. This second consecutive failed rains impacted Somali region in particular with 67 out of 93 rural woredas classified as hotspot priority 1 woredas. As a result of these successive poor rains, the water level declined significantly. Rivers, springs and ponds are drying up earlier than normal, and increasing frequency of non-functionality of water supply systems due to over utilization of schemes. Estimates for 2017 show that 9.2 million people are in need of critical WASH services in the country as a whole.
In Somali region, 67 woredas (460 kebeles) with nearly 1.3 million people face acute water shortages and need an urgent intervention. According the December 2016 meher (deyr) assessment in Somali region, 26 per cent of the boreholes (85 boreholes), 36 per cent of the haffier dams, 30 per cent of the berkads, 12 per cent of river intake structures and 58 per cent the improved hand dug wells (HDWs) are not functional. Nearly 30 per cent of boreholes are also in critical stress (92 boreholes).
New AWD cases are being reported in Somali region with a continued high risk of further spread due to poor water availability, and lack of sanitation. Currently, approximately 80 per cent of the AWD cases in Ethiopia are in Somali Region. As of 27th of March there are 21,476 cases in 58 woredas. The poor quality of water delivered by water trucks and water collected from water points in Somali region has been identified as high risk and source of contamination. Unless a swift action is taken to address the critical WASH needs in the region, the drought will have a devastating consequence by increasing the mortality rates due to WASH related hazards.
This project will be implemented in Somali region with the objective to mitigate AWD by pre-chlorination and mass-chlorination of water points with intensive hygiene promotion interventions in 35 woredas (in 8 zones-Jarara, Korhaye, Nogobo, Dollo, Erer , Afder, Liben and Shebelle) with particular emphasis to Kabridhar, Degahbour, Sagag, Horshakaha, Birkot, Shaygosh, Dig, Fik, Lahel Yu´ub, and Duhun woredas where the AWD case load is high. The proposed intervention aims to address a total of 256,000 people.

In Oromia region, a total of 458,190 people were displaced and sheltered in 27 IDP sites. Of the displaced population, 176,149 people are in need of immediate provision of safe water supply.
In the IDP sites and the nearby areas there are no feasible water sources, and rehabilitation or construction of water infrastructures is expected to come in a second phase. The multi-agency emergency assessment team recommended that water trucking is the only immediate option to provide safe water to the IDPs.
UNICEF plans to reach 176,149 IDPs and host communities residing in 16 woredas of East Hararge, West Hararge and Bale zones through emergency water trucking services by providing the minimum daily water requirement (5 liters/person/day) for a period of 45 days.
The project will be implemented by deploying 30 trucks from a private company that has a Long Term Agreement with UNICEF. The company will be identified through competitive bidding, and is highly qualified to effectively manage the water trucking activities. In addition, UNICEF will deploy water trucking monitors to follow up on the day-to-day activities of the water trucking operations. As water trucking is a costly activity, UNICEF will work closely with the Regional Water Bureau (RWB) and other development partners on an exit strategy by promoting construction of permanent water systems, such as drilling boreholes and construction of water distribution systems.

Save the Children’s proposed implementation is an integrated WASH and Health intervention which is designed as an AWD outbreak response to reduce the morbidity and mortality of affected children and communities in the Somali Region. Save the Children has been operational in the Somali region providing lifesaving medicines, building capacity of health workers, involved in Water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) activities and supporting disease surveillance and coordination. The Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) outbreak is expanding rapidly to new areas requiring intensive responses needing more resources. Save the Children, with funding from Ethiopian Humanitarian Fund (EHF), will respond to the immediate health and WASH needs of vulnerable households affected by AWD. We will implement Health and WASH interventions targeted at capacity building of technical staff, enhancing quality of AWD cases management in the Cholera Treatment Center (CTC) through deployment of medical doctors and nurses, enhancing AWD case search and community awareness, water trucking services and the promotion of community level hygiene and sanitation in line with the government AWD response plan. The project will target AWD affected woredas in the Somali region and its intervention will be implemented through integration across different sectors, further focusing on strengthening coordination of AWD responses. The project is designed to run for 4 months of direct implementation and have a 5 month eligibility period in total.

IDPs are sheltering in unfinished buildings, or informal camps outside towns and currently have little or no access to sanitation or hygiene services. There are critical shelter, hygiene, and sanitation needs among the communities. Significant gaps in response have been observed and t
Locations for intervention have been prioritized with the WASH and Shelter/NFI clusters and in discussion with partner agencies through coordination, assessments and multi-agency task force meetings. The proposed locations for GOAL’s interventions under this project are:
- Bale Zone: Meda Welabu Woreda – 2 camps (Golakiltu and Mada)
- Borena Zone: Arero Woreda – 4 camps (Dadacha Rangi, Diri, Washa, Godaolka) Dhas Woreda – 2 camps (Urgesa, Arjilio) Wachile Woreda – 7 camps (Eres Tiba, Arda Roka, Eres Tato, Jajaba, Erere, Kurkura, Bofa)
GOAL is operational in these locations and can quickly mobilize a response. GOAL proposes a nine month intervention for distribution of NFIs to 5000 households, and construction of sanitation facilities which will reach more than 89,000 individuals. Hygiene promotion will be carried out for the IDP communities also, and will include a focus on prevention of water-related diseases. This project will be carried out in partnership with IOM, who will undertake the procurement of the NFI kits and distribute to IDP camp level, or GOAL’s pre-determined storage facilities. NFI distribution will be entirely dependent on the procurement and transport of same to GOAL's locations, by IOM.

Natural disasters mainly attributed to drought, flooding, 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 DTM Round 7, conducted nationwide in September/ October 2017 a total of 267062 households (HH) representing 1,615444 individuals are in a situation of internal displacement in various regions of Ethiopia with the highest displacements reported in Oromia and Somali regions. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict, drought and flood.
Since the start of 2017, as per DTM R 7, it is reported that 110,855 HHs are newly displaced with the vast majority located in Somali and Oromia regions. This number has already surpassed the projected displacement in 2017 under the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) 2017 which projected a total of 68,000 newly internally displaced HH (376,000 individuals). In light of the new displacement and massive needs NRC proposes to intervene in ES/ NFI and WASH sectors targeting IDPs in Liben, Dawa, Bale and Borena zones where majority of the newly displaced IDPs reside and prioritized for assistance by the ES/ NFI and WASH clusters, For the WASH intervention NRC will prioritize 12 IDP sites in Liben zone Deka Suftu Woreda of Somali region through provision of latrines and hygine promotion activities.
ES/ NFI intervention- The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following partners: the Norwegian Refugee Council, the International Organization for Migration (IOM), Save the Children and GOAL- Ethiopia . In total, through the joint IOM, NRC, Save the Children and GOAL interventions, ES/NFI assistance will be provided to 13000 households (9,500 in kind and 3500 in cash). The ES/NFI kits will be distributed in Dawa(30.80%) , Borena (34.7%),Bale (23%) and Liben (11.5%) zones . Exact areas of distribution will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI Cluster agencies in coordination with regional and zonal government authorities.
For cash-based assistance NRC will provide assistance to 3500 households in project locations with access to quality materials in the local market. The cash-based intervention is based on the recommendations of the ES/NFI Cluster’s continued development of experience based knowledge on cash interventions in the sector.

The conflict displaced thousands HHs in Oromia and Ethiopian Somali regions. According to the recent displacement matrix (DTM R7 data) and assessment and verification conducted on the ground per Government requests, it is estimated that 156,000 HHs (929,000 people) (600,000 in Oromia and 329,000 in Somali) (as of mid-November) have been displaced due to the ongoing border conflict between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups that started in April 2017 and escalated in late September 2017. These IDPs resided in approximately 100 new IDP sites (31 sites in Somali Region) in addition to those located in host communities.
The latrine coverage is these IDP sites is poor and found to be serious WASH challenge. The statistics from the round of assessments show that 279 (88%) displacement sites reported having no toilets and those IDPS that have toiles are a poor, unhygienic or unusable condition. only one site was able to achieve a coverage of 1 toilet for 50 individuals. Only 15 (5%) sites reported having gender segregated latrines. To meet the immediate WASH amp ES/NFI needs of IDP, Save the Children will create access to sanitation facilities through construction of communal latrines to conflict affected communities at 8 IDP sites of Hudet Woreda (4- IDPs namely at: 03 Hudet, Dhedhirtu, Gallhareri, and Luchale) and 4- IDPs at Moyale Woreda (Bute, Diid Guji, El Gof and Jima) sites. To prevent open defecation in the IDP sites and ensure access to environmental health facilities, it will construct of emergency latrines with hand washing facilities. In addition, to optimize the use of WASH facilities provided and to increase hygiene awareness to improve the poor hygienic condition of the targeted communities, Save the Children will conduct hygiene promotion campaigns, cleaning Campaigns through volunteers and will distribute WASH NFI (None Food Item) in 8 IDP sites of Moyale and Hudet Woredas.
Separate latrines will be constructed for women and men, female specific hygiene items will be included to WASH NFIs, The Items will be distributed to girls and women. volunteers will be recruited and trained to deliver specific hygiene sessions for women and children to ensure their specific hygiene needs are met. Save the Children will closely coordinate with other actors on the ground, to avoid any overlap in the proposed target areas. Currently in Somali Region there are about 13200 (HH= 22,200) (Dawa=15,000 HH Fik=200 HH, Afder=200 HH, Fanfan= 800 HH, and Liben=4000 HH) are conflict affected by households and settled in the IDPs.
In Dawa Zone there are large number of conflict displaced people are settled that counts about 90,000 individuals. This project aims to reach a total of 32,478 (M=16,888, F=15,590) individuals. Out of the 32,478 about 19500 people will be reached through sanitation facilities (latrine) and 18,000 individuals (3000 HHs (M= 9,362, F= 8,638) will benefit from ES/NFI and WASH assistance.

The emergency outcomes are likely to persist up to January 2018.
The initiatives to respond to the emergency situation which has started working as a Consortium (including Save the Children, Mercy Corps (MC), Islamic Relief (IR), Action Against Hunger (ACF), and Veterinaries sans Frontiers – Suisse (VSF-S)) has continued and is on the follow-up phase of the emergency response. VSF-Suisse has continued the livestock interventions based on the priorities presented under the HRD’s objective 2 and informed by field missions.
Recognizing the forecast for intensifying drought conditions and the escalating threats to livestock the SAG issued a Livestock Contingency Plan (FEB 2017 ) that prioritized livestock feed supplementation of core breeding animals, destocking – commercial and slaughter and animal health in particular for those animals receiving supplementary livestock feed.
Following the delayed onset, erratic and poor autumn deyr rain and the poor regeneration of browse and pasture, livestock that were already in poor condition have continued to lose weight with the result that pastoral households have little or no access to milk and increasing numbers of households are reporting livestock deaths. The lack of adapted, indigenous, core breeding livestock when the drought eventually ends will leave the livelihoods of families throughout the region crippled. The inability to regenerate livestock assets will likely keep many pastoralist families in severe poverty, extending the humanitarian crisis long after the drought ends. Reproductive livestock assets can be protected through supplementary feeding. In addition, it may also be appropriate to promote parasite control through private sector-led, voucher-based treatment interventions that will help ensure that animals can utilise their feed intake fully.
Proposed Intervention: Livestock feed supplementation and private sector-led, voucher-based curative, preventive or supportive veterinary treatments.
Project Target Area: Warder and Geladi Woredas of Doolo zone of Somali region Ethiopia,
Project Targets: Supplemental feeding coupled with voucher-based treatment systems will benefit 2,800 households, and 14,000 breeding stock, for three months in Warder and Geladin districts of Doolo Zone of Somali region Ethiopia ( five sheep /goats -shoats per household).
The project has an overall objective of protecting the lives and livelihoods in the Doolo Zone of Somali region Ethiopia. The main outcome of this project is livestock assets of drought-affected households and communities are protected from further deterioration. There are three major outputs of this project: supplementary animal feed will be provided for 14,000 drought affected core breeding sheep and goats for 3 months 2,800 poor households receiving supplementary feed will be supported with voucher based treatment interventions and technical and financial capacity of the community based animal health service providers will be strengthened.
Above and beyond, VSF- Suisse will take in to account the specific gender roles in relation to livestock care and production when implementing the emergency livestock feed intervention. Milking of dairy/dual-purpose animals and cleaning of animal kraals are often tasks that fall disproportionately upon female members of the household. Therefore, since taking the core breed livestock to the feeding centres everyday may confer particularly onerous duties on women and girls, the project will require that men or a family member will bring animals to the feeding centres and that female-headed households send a family member (when possible).Vétérinaires Sans Frontières SuisseVétérinaires Sans Frontières SuisseEthiopia Humanitarian FundKebadu Simachew BelayCountry Director+251935986659kebadu.belay@vsf-suisse.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Food Security151973.69448026.35600000.04Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse480000.03Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires Sans Frontières Suisse8839.43Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires Sans Frontières SuisseEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/A/INGO/6722United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Livestock Response for Drought Affected Vulnerable Communities in Borena Zone, Oromiya Region,EthiopiaThe humanitarian situation in Ethiopia is not showing signs of improvement. The 2017 Government-led multi-agency and multi-sector mid-year needs belg assessment confirmed that rainfall was below normal in terms of onset, distribution and cessation in many parts of the country. Humanitarian needs continue to escalate in Ethiopia’s livestock-dependent communities, especially in southern and south-eastern pastoralist areas. Livelihood needs are highest in southern Somali region, South Omo zone of SNNPR and the lowlands of Borena, Bale and Guji zones of Oromia region, where pastoralist communities are almost entirely dependent on livestock for their food security, nutrition and income and still reeling from poor/ failed spring and autumn rains in 2016. The 2017 mid-year review indicated that the post-spring rains/belg harvest assessment and projections for 2017 indicated that 2.25Million households in need of livestock support. Milk production in cattle declined by as much as 80% while significant milk production losses were also recorded in camels and goats, raising serious concerns over already high malnutrition rates. Urgent livelihood-based support is required to help protect surviving livestock, prevent further deterioration in levels of food and nutrition security and shorten the time needed for recovery. These urgent interventions are required to help pastoral households maintain their herds and avoid losing their livelihoods. Accordingly, GOAL Ethiopia have designed this proposal in the context of Strategic Objective on of the HRD - To save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity. In the lowlands of Borena the communities are almost entirely dependent on livestock for their food security, nutrition and income extremely poor availability of and access to water and pasture has resulted in alarmingly increased rates of livestock morbidity and mortality. As a result of the poor and failed 2016 Hagaya (September-October) and 2017 Genna (March-May) rains, pastoral systems in Borena zone are in the emergency phase of the drought cycle, the livestock are emaciated with pasture depletion and water shortages resulting in very poor milk yields.
The overall objective of this project is to provide support to protect livestock and livelihoods asset of drought affected pastoralists/ agro- pastoralists of Borena zone of Oromiya region in Ethiopia. So the priority interventions will be livestock feed distribution and provision of animal health services. This objective is a derivative from the second round EHF allocation strategy which expedite support to integrated livestock response in pastoralist areas including interventions on feed for livestock, animal health and destocking for 1.75m households to the end of the year. The intervention will focus on provision of feed for livestock and health and 3,318 vulnerable households and family members in Dire and Dhas woredas of Borena zone will benefit from this project. In line with the SAG emergency livestock response and cluster prioritization exercises in July 2017 for the agriculture sector, this project will be a continuation of the support of the integrated livestock response in pastoralist areas.

The SNNPR-South Omo cluster members include FAO, PIN, VITA and VSF Germany. The proposal is designed in order to prevent further deterioration of food security and protect livelihoods of vulnerable households. VSF Germany will target a total of 13,050 households (78,300 beneficiaries) in 3 drought-stricken woredas (Hamer, Dasenech and Nyagatom) of south Omo zone to improve livestock health, production of fodder, cash for work as well as unconditional cash transfer activity to vulnerable households according agriculture cluster objective 2 , in particular with priority category 1.
Outcome 1: Livestock assets and livelihoods protected among 13, 050 pastoral households through provision of veterinary services, availing short maturing fodder, emergency livestock feeding, cash for work as well as unconditional cash transfer). In order to protect core-breeding animals, the project seeks to provide support for livestock fodder production, emergency livestock feeding and animal health service to selected households in each woreda. To attain this outcome the project targeted 3,000 households for animal health intervention where each household will receive veterinary vouchers with a value of 7$ to access veterinary service through community animal health workers. The project also assumed that 3000 household will receive fodder from 60 hectares of irrigated land in the three districts for two rounds during the project period to feed their livestock. Furthermore the project will carry out cash for work and unconditional cash transfer activity. A total of 1050 households will be expected to benefit from cash for work (75 household ) as well as 300 household from unconditional cash transfer.Vétérinaires sans Frontières (Germany)Vétérinaires sans Frontières (Germany)Ethiopia Humanitarian FundGenene Regassa Country Director +251911800526genene@vsfg.orgEsmael TessemaCountry Program Manager+251911800526esmael@vsfg.org SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Food Security124994.47377066.65502061.12Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires sans Frontières (Germany)401648.90Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires sans Frontières (Germany)16929.12Ethiopia Humanitarian FundVétérinaires sans Frontières (Germany)Ethiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/A/INGO/6741United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency livestock support for drought affected pastoralists and agro pastoralist of Low Land Bale ZoneThe Genna 2017 rainy season has started late and was inadequate in most areas of southern and southern-east parts of Ethiopia including Bale zone in Oromia region. The rainfall was very erratic in nature and the coverage was not uniform even within a district. There are Kebeles, which have received the rain for a maximum of only one week according to the Midyear belg/Genna multispectral assessment report of June 2017.
Poor performance of the Ganna 2017 rains has caused critical water and livestock feed shortages in the lowlands of Bale zone, Oromia Regional State. Rayitu and Dawe Kachin Woreda are among the most affected areas and categorized as priority-1 hotspots by the NDRMC (National Disaster Risk Management commission) July classification. The impact of the drought has already been felt as widespread problem of livestock due to shortage of pasture and water deteriorating livestock body condition untimely and abnormal migration of people and livestock stress induced livestock disease resulted fall in the price of livestock deteriorating terms of trade between livestock and cereals and resulted 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 Government and humanitarian partners are concerned by the possible extension of the dry season further aggravating the humanitarian situation. According to the National Meteorological Agency (NMA) climate outlook for Hagaya season (October- December), expected to be below normal rainfall in this year. The expected below normal rainfall for the upcoming season will negatively impact availability of water and pasture.
Therefore, this proposed project is designed to provide emergency livestock support in lowland districts of Bale Zone particularly in Rayitu and Dawe Kachen districts through improving access to emergency feeds to livestock herds, Vet drug and fodder seed provision to targeted vulnerable households to protect their core livestock during the critical drought period. The project will be implemented by Dan Church Aid (DCA) and Lutheran World Federation (LWF) in the two most affected districts that are Rayitu and Dawe Kachin, and it will directly benefit 6972 people. There will be active community participation during targeting and distribution of feed to ensure the most affected are targeted fairly and transparently. It is estimated that through this support 2324 breeding animals will recover from the drought.

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. Somali region is predominantly pastoralists and the livelihood activities are dependent on the natural resource base, and are therefore vulnerable to covariate shocks such as a drought. The humanitarian situation in Ethiopia is not showing signs of improvement especially in Southern and southeastern parts of the country.
The 2017 Government-led multi-agency and multi-sector mid-year needs assessment confirmed underperformance of the recent belg seasonal (March-May) rain performance. The recently released government appeal by the Ethiopian government through the HRD (Humanitarian Response Document, Mid-year review 2017) indicates that 8.5 million people are in need of emergency food assistance, some 3.6 million pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of 5 are projected to develop moderate acute malnutrition. For pastoral areas this is mainly because of decreased livestock productivity and high mortality of livestock which are the main source of food and cash for this community. Pastoral communities are the worst affected. In Somali Region 1.7m which makes 31% of the population of that Region are in need of humanitarian assistance. Due to the loss of water and pasture large scale death of animals were reported. FAO estimated loss of 80% small ruminants and 40 % of larger livestock around those areas. The FEWS NET(July,2017) outcome analysis using a Household Economy Approach (HEA) with reference to the recently updated baselines for Somali Region indicates that, even with safety-net transfers, approximately 2.5 million people will require emergency food assistance in Somali Region during the July-December period. The areas most severely affected by drought include Afder Zone.
Accordingly UNOCHA EHF has allocated funding to respond to the continuing emergency which is based on the results of the mid-year assessment and the Prioritization exercise. In this regard EHF in its 2nd round allocation prioritized support to integrated livestock response including feed linked to targeted animal health and destocking for 1.75m households to the end of the year.
IRE is already responding to the emergency in three zones, Afder, Sitti and Liben and intends to scale up the response further to save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity. To this end this proposed project will scale up the emergency livestock response to drought affected population in Hargelle, Elkere and Dollobay Districts of Afder Zone with the objective of strengthening and facilitating the availability of credible, demand-led and coordinated emergency animal health services in the face of drought for pastoralist communities to safeguard livestock based livelihoods . The project is expected to produce two major results and two outputs. The outcomes that include improvement of animal health service provision to drought affected pastoralists and protection of livelihoods assets of the drought affected communities from negative coping strategies through supplementary livestock feeding. Similarly, the project outputs include that drought affected livestock received supplementary livestock feed and drought affected pastoralist communities accessed animal health service
The target groups are pastoralists that are highly affected by the drought. The intervention includes animal health, animal feed provision and logistic support for local government animal health offices for timely livestock vaccination campaign. The project will be implemented over a period of six months with the support of local government and community.

Failure of seasonal rainfalls creates shortage of water for both human and livestock. The performance of the last consecutive rainy seasons (Haggaya and Genna) in Guji zone was reported as variable, uneven and mostly erratic. The report from the Guji zone emergency task force pre-harvest assessment indicated that the amount of the rainfall and distribution was well below the expected average across the woredas and kebeles of the zone and especially in the pocket areas of Liben, Gorodola, Gumi Eldalo, Agewayu and Sebaboru woredas.
The report from the Multi agency Belg/Genna assessment (conducted between may 22nd and 26th, 2017) also shows that the rainfall onset in low land areas of the zone was late by one week and the cessation was early by two weeks, the distribution was erratic and the amount/performance was extremely poor. It also states that, the major weather adverse condition was the long dry spell condition in between the rains. This has resulted in a 40% loss in crop production and above 81,000 heads of livestock deaths due to lack of pasture and water.
Moreover, the recent situational report, issued in July 2017, of Guji zone DRM Office states Livestock pasture and water availability is much below normal in the lowland woredas of Guji zone. Ponds and temporary rivers are currently without or with little amount of water to support the community until next season. The rain was not favourable for the pasture regeneration in particular for the grazers while there is relative improvement for the browsers.
According to the report, livestock feed (particularly hay and concentrate) are required for 80,000 livestock in the zone and more than 50,000 animals need veterinary assistance in terms of emergency drugs and other medicaments.
COOPI, as one of the humanitarian and development partner in the area, has already secured a fund from the 1st round allocation for a similar livestock feed provision in the same woredas targeting 850HHs. The project has already been started. Government bureaucratic procedures such as project appraisal and signing of MoU is underway. Selection of beneficiaries and procurement procedures for the purchase of the animal feed are under preparation.
This project is prepared in response to the prevailing drought in the area to reach more beneficiaries through the provision of animal feed for core breeding animals, as the demand is growing. The overall objective of the project is preventing the deterioration of the food security situation of the targeted HHs living in Guji zone of Oromia region. The outcome of the project is protecting the core breeding animals of the (agro)- pastoralists through the provision of supplementary animal feed.
This project aims to ensure the availability of feed mainly concentrate and hay to selected highly vulnerable HHs in Gorodola and Liben woredas. A total of 850 HHs will be targeted under this project. And 3,400 heads of livestock (1800 shoats and 1800 cattle) i.e.2 shoats and 2 cattle per HH will be supplied with animal feed a period of sixty days

Furthermore, the recent GU assessment carried out in Somali region confirmed ‘worst fears that another massive collective humanitarian effort will be needed to counter an unfolding severe nutritional crisis among the population of the region”. The deterioration of livestock production and productivity along with the increase in staple food prices [due to poor terms of trade] is contributing to food insecurity in vast parts of drought-affected area of Somali region and particularly in Shebelle where this project will be implemented. Save the Children has designed the present drought emergency response action in order to restore and prevent further deterioration of food security and livelihoods of vulnerable households in one drought stricken zones of Somali region. This will significantly contribute towards improving the livestock productivity and animal health which in turn enables drought affected households to get access for milk and enhance nutritional status of children. Save the Children will implement this action in two woredas of Shebelle Zone of Somali region. With respect to Shebelle zone, the action is planned to build up and scale the interventions in the previous two woredas (Adadale and Keleafo) where EHF project was implemented. Save the Children will closely work with other implementing partners so as to avoid duplication of efforts through monitoring activities and coordinating the project at field level. The project is expected to benefit a total of 1,071 households (6,426 individuals) in the two targeted woredas. In a bid to, protect core-breeding animals and improve their productivity and health, the project seeks to provide livestock feed and voucher based livestock health treatment to selected households in the target woredas where availability of pasture and livestock health situation is at great risk due to failure of the Deyr [short] and GU [main rain] rains. Thus, implementation of these key interventions in the target areas would yield multiple benefits 1) increase survival rate of core animal breeds, 2) improve meat/milk production due to provision of animal feed and animal health treatment, and 3) prevent loss of key household assets and thus build resilience of target community until next rainy season. Selected/targeted households would receive 0.3 kg concentrate amp 1 kg of fodder and 1 kg concentrate amp 3 kg of fodder for each lactating shoat and cow on a daily basis respectively. Providing both concentrated feeding and fodder for the livestock, will ensure increased milk yield, thereby improving access to food for target households. The target households will also be linked with local vet drug shops and Community Animal Health workers (CAHW) in order to get required animal health treatment/services. Increasing the resilience of pastoral and agro-pastoral households primarily necessitates increasing livestock feed production and availability through strategic interventions. Thus, the project further seek to promote fodder production.Save the Children FundSave the Children FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundEkin OgutogullariCountry Director+251(0) 478 510 297Ekin.Ogutogullari@savethechildren.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Food Security152406.88249593.87402000.75Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund321600.60Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund68928.87Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children FundEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/A/INGO/6799United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLivestock recovery and restoration in dire and Moyale woredas, Borana zoneBorana zone of Oromia region has experienced worst drought during the year 2017. As per the 2017 Belg Assessment conducted by multiagency team in May-June 2017 suggests that emergency is on the rise and its impact is being reflected on the conditions of loss of livelihoods of the pastoral and agro-pastoral communities across all woredas of Borana zone in general and Dire and Moyale woredas in particular. The year 2017 Ganna rain was expected to downscale the situation but all woredas of the zone received 1-3 days’ rainfall which is by far insufficient. The rainfall served to recharge community ponds but these were supposed to support for not more than a month despite the vast number of cattle population. As the result of pasture and water shortages, quite large number of livestock population were obliged to travel very long distance to only exacerbate the already weak body condition of the livestock. Livestock body condition has been deteriorating especially of lactating cows and calves. Livestock movement in search of pasture exhibited since February 2017.
As per the multi-agency assessment report, the prolonged dry period which was between November 2016 and March 2017 said to have claimed 379,251 heads of livestock death which is 27-30% of livestock population in the zone. The total economic loss due to livestock death estimated at USD 1,536,956,000 (May-June 2017 Report). The livestock body condition remains much below normal with unusual migration of livestock within and out of the country. The income from livestock is beyond expectation as livestock products are much below normal. Pasture is much below normal for cattle while for the browsers there is relative improvement. As part of emergency livestock response, total of 316,835 bale of hay was supported by government while FAO supported 2500 HH and 12500 head of livestock by livestock feed. Christian Aid as well responded through 9,000 bales of hay and 2,400 quintals of concentrate including livestock medicines. NGOs contributed for the livestock feed and commercial de-stocking include Mercy Corps, CARE, SOS Sahel and ACF.
In response to the situation, different organizations, including governmental and non-governmental, contributed a lot in the provision of animal feed. Nonetheless, the extended drought condition is still demanding more of animal feeds and the Zonal Coordination Task force report (June 2017) emphasized the need to reach at least 10% (2,491,828) cattle population in the form of hay and concentrate. Data obtained from Zonal administration indicate that in Dirre and Moyale woredas, the total households numbering to 41,296 and having the total cattle population of 168,154 are in need of livestock feed assistance to rescue at least the core breeding stocks.
Although There is no disease outbreak, the trends shown that the scarcity of pasture and water and the resultant weak body condition of the livestock exposed the animals to diseases and caused huge death next to the direct impact of the drought itself. Reports indicate that CCPP, CBPP, LSD are the common diseases among small stock of animals while internal parasites is reported to predominate and hence the demand for treatment. Hence for demand for veterinary drug has become so important to treat livestock that became vulnerable to diseases over stretched time bound.
This project is aimed to undertake livestock emergency intervention in two woredas of Borana zone, specifically in Dirre and Moyale where the situation has reached emergency stage already. Given limited resource capacity the project now will focus on 5 Kebeles (two in Moyale and three in Dire). Key components of the project are animal feed and distribution (23,712 bales of hays and 1185.6 quintals of concentrates), Veterinary service that includes vitamins and deworming drugs of 1976 bolus of albendazole and 395.2 vials of multi vitamins. The project targets 988 households and 1,976 livestock.

The magnitude of the drought was intensified by failure of successive seasonal rains beginning with spring, Belg/Gu/Ganna season of 2016, followed by Deyr/Hageya of 2016 and now again failed spring, Belg/Gu/Ganna season of 2017. The on-going Indian Ocean Diopole (IOD) phenomena induced drought has been dubbed as ‘the most severe drought ever’, because of its intensity, duration and coverage. In the three pastoral eco-systems, a total of nine continuous dry months have been recorded to date and the quantity of showers received in the alternate months which were erratic and of short duration to make any meaningful impact. Meanwhile, the failure of the spring rains (March/April 2017) implies that the drought will continue until atleast October/November 2017 - seriously threatening the survival of the remaining livestock and food and nutrition security. The current food security and nutrition crisis in Ethiopia is linked to the collapse of pastoral livelihoods and a failure to invest sufficiently in local food production from the onset of the crisis.
83 out of 93 woredas (districts) in the region are now categorized under priority 1 (hotspot woredas) which is an upsurge from a mere 67 woredas in December 2016. Only woredas in Fafan and Sitti zones (northern tip the region) are spared with nutrition indicators.
Now, FAO and partners have no option but to continue with the provision of livestock supplementary feed to meet the necessary roughage, energy and protein requirements of the remaining breeding stock along with providing animal health services. A failure to provide this support will aggravate the vulnerability of the population that still owns few stock. Furthermore, providing no assistance at this point implies losing the remaining breeding stock, which provide the only chance of recovery for households when the drought abates.
The planned interventions for scaling up include:
(i) 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, total mixed ration composed of supplementary concentrate feed, agricultural by-products (molasses) and other concentrates will be formulated and provided to key breeding herds to ensure their survival. To mitigate against market disruptions, these activities will be undertaken along with local traders and agro-dealers as needed. If feasible, locally procured feed will be distributed at temporarily established feeding points and along migratory routes with a preference given to the most productive and core-breeding livestock. The proposed feeding centers will be established near water points.
(ii) 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.
(iii) Slaughter destocking of animals with low body weight: to generate income for affected households by off-taking weak animals, the project will purchase livestock directly from families, enabling pastoral households to purchase cereals and other food. Meat deemed fit for consumption will be distributed to food insecure and drought-affected households in order to provide animal source proteins and improve nutrition. Project closely with local trade partners- unproductive non-core breeding livestock deemed unfit for or not competitive in local markets will be purchased.Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsFood and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsEthiopia Humanitarian Fund EthiopiaDeputy FAO-Representative AbdoulKarim BahMahlet Mulugeta Resilience Coordinator+251911461332Mahlet.Mulugeta@fao.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Food Security126924.28473081.43600005.71Ethiopia Humanitarian FundFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations600005.71Ethiopia Humanitarian FundFood and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations22541.77Food and Agriculture Organization of the United NationsUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/CSS/UN/6822United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSafe spaces for humanitarian workers in refugee camps in EthiopiaWith EHF funding, UNHCR will provide VHF radios as well as stand-alone safe rooms, suitable for the respective location, to enhance the communication and protection of humanitarian personnel during security incidents within the camps.

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 to areas with poor access to health care services within the targeted woredas through establishing of MHNT. 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 9 MHNTs in woredas most affected by drought with poor health coverage and vulnerable communities (including IDPs) that have been prioritised jointly by the health cluster and the RHB.
2. In areas where there is a HF support will also be provided through transport of medicines, vaccines and supplies from RHB to the HF, support for alerts investigation and reporting, logistic and staff for vaccination, and capacity building of existinh HEWs.
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 in the areas of functionalizing health facilities, 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 nine priority 1 woredas (selected based on recent hot spot woreda prioritization and selected in collaboration with the health cluster and the Oromia RHB). These include Sewena, Laga hidha, Dewe serere, Galana, Suru burguda, Shashimener, Shalla, Arero and Miyo woredas in Oromia region. The main pillars of the project are the following: providing life-saving Primary Health Care services in hard to reach areas improved community-based surveillance and mobilization and improved leadership and coordination mechanisms at zonal and woreda levels.

The organization also has accumulated experience in supporting the health system through mobile health and nutrition team. In this proposal, Save the Children intends to implement interventions contribute to the response to the health and nutrition emergency situation through the establishment of mobile health and nutrition teams (MHNT). The aim is to enhance the coverage by health and nutrition essential services for the most vulnerable communities in Somali region pastoralists, IDPs, and hard to reach/ and not covered by any services. To promote filling up the immediate gaps of emergency response the prioritization of targeted woredas for additional MHNTs has been done jointly with RHB, ENCU and Health Cluster coordinator based on real needs and evaluation of coverage by the ongoing interventions with a focus on complementarities with nutrition response. Along the provision of basic primary health care (PHC), these teams will also contribute to the disease outbreaks, including AWD response, support routine immunization and eventual campaigns, bring maternal, newborn care and child services closer to the hard to reach areas of Hudet, Moyale,Dol Ado,Degahabur, Gashamo, Adadile, Khalafo, Erer and Shininle Woredas in Somali Region. The child services also include identification and treatment of common child hood illness. The MHNT is also expected to conduct nutritional screening, and manage of moderate acute malnutrition (TFU) and facilitate the referral of severe cases of illness and SAM with medical complication. Furthermore, the MHNT will contribute towards strengthening the disease surveillance system, outbreak risk monitoring, disease outbreak prevention and responses including community level AWD earlier cases detection and case management (community level) and control measures. Maternal health services will enhance the access to antenatal, postnatal and new born care coverage (ANC) including iron supplementation, provision of TT (Tetanus Toxoid) vaccination, identification and referral of high risk mothers, counseling on family plaining, breast feeding and HIV, Vitamin A and iron supplementation to lactating mothers, vaccination of the newborn along with managing other common child hood illness for the IDPs and local communities in hard to reach areas of Hudet, Moyale, Dolo Ado Daroor, Gashamo, Adadile, Khalafo, Erer and Shininle Woredas. The activities include the recruitment of staff and deployment of MHNTs, training of MHNT on management of integrated child hood illness, management of MHNT (reporting and movements schedules, chain of command, logistics) equipping the mobile health and nutrition team (MHNT) with required medicines and medical supplies, small diagnostic tools, recording and reporting tools, nutritional inputs for MAM and SAM, vehicles for field visits and referral, communication means. We will implement this Health and nutrition intervention directly while supporting the woredas health system and facilities through capacity building of staff, transport of medicines and supplies to the Health posts attached to the HFs, support of the work of HEWs, collection and transmission of health and nutrition reports to the Woredas health bureau and referral of patients when necessary. Early identification and immediate access to care of MAM and SAM patients through monthly screening of all children bellow 5 years of age, and pregnant and lactating mothers in all sites of each MHNT is essential for reducing avoidable mortality caused by acute malnutrition and illness. Save the Children also supports in same areas the functioning of SC and access to safe water through water tracking in Adadile, Kebridar, Gashamo and Daroor woredas.Save the Children FundSave the Children FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundEkin OgutogullariCOuntry Director+251(0) 478 510 297Ekin.Ogutogullari@savethechildren.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Health434031.19750873.961184905.15Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund947924.12Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund213210.27Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children FundEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/H/INGO/6869United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAcute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) response in Kafta-humera, Tsegedie, Tahtai-adiabo, Asgede-tsimbla, Laelay-adiabo, Kola-temben, Tanqha-abergele, Mereb-lake, Werie-leke woredas of Tigray Regions.The proposed response will focus on Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) related lifesaving interventions and preventive health services via provision of drugs and medicals supplies for CTC, enhancing the capacity of the government health workers in regard AWD cases management, CTCs infection prevention, surveillance and community awareness, and filling in the gaps of human resources availability necessary for proper functioning of CTCs. This project will have a significant impact on the interruption of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) transmission and related mortality. The project expected to benefit 13,600 beneficiaries in Kafta-humera, Tsegedie, Tahtai-adiabo, Asgede-tsimbla, Laelay-adiabo, Kola-temben, Tanqha-abergele, Mereb-lake, Werie-leke woredas of Tigray Regions.
This is a lifesaving clinical and community level preventive and curative interventions where the highest proportion of the budget is allocated at supporting cases management in the CTCs and community level prevention activities through capacity building, provision of supplies (Medicines), logistics (vehicles), deployment of human resources (Health officers, nurses), referral services and enhancing capacity of front line health workers. Nurse and medical personnel’s will be recruited and deployed to undertake cases management and monitor quality of cases management, surveillance and infection prevention. Save the Children is closely working with health cluster and government partners in regards to the ongoing AWD outbreak responses in Tigray region. The AWD responses will be implemented in districts prioritized by the regional health bureau (RHB) based on, case load, partner’s engagement, operational feasibility and other factors.
The project will build the capacity of health workers at the health facilities and CTCs level thereby limit the morbidity, mortality and spread to other districts in the affected areas and also reduce the adverse health and socio-economic consequences of AWD outbreak. Early cases detection and treatment of patients is the best control measure for AWD. In addition, community awareness through social mobilization is important for the implementation of the key control measures. The project will focus on the most vulnerable groups of the affected population such as, under five children, pregnant women, lactating mothers, women headed households, elders, people with disabilities and people living with HIV AIDS where we closely work with community level health extension workers and community leaders to target vulnerable groups.

In Oromia West Hararge zone of Oromia region, Hawi Gudina and Burka Dimtu woredas with a total population of 121,080 people are targeted.
All targeted woredas have been classified as P1 based on June 2017 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 158,000 people benefited from the consultations, routine vaccination, MCH care, supplementary feeding (MAM) and MAM without complication care and monthly nutrition screening. is 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 rapid increase in the number of cases (mid April 2017) to more than 4000/week triggered significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for treatment and the control of the outbreak. Although it has been brought under control in the most heavily affected Somali Region the AWD outbreak continues to spread, and will continue to spread unless current levels of response and control efforts are maintained. Drought-induced degradation of health determinants such as access to safe drinking water, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, internal displacement, on the back drop of an overburdened local health system increased the risk of further spread of AWD as well as other types of outbreaks with potential surge in Aug and Sept.
The response and control of an outbreak requires multi-disciplinary and multi-sectorial measures to address the underlying causes and interrupt the community spread, coordination and command, and logistics to support all operations. Along with the presence of qualified staff, laboratory support for guiding the response and availability of medicines for timely treatment of cases is essential to save lives. Appropriate treatment of cases will also 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 the ongoing response mobilized by the FMOH and partners.
The medicines and medical supplies necessary for continuation of the response to the AWD outbreak but also for treatment of increasing number of endemic communicable diseases that threatens to reach epidemic levels especially among the most vulnerable drought affected communities such as IDPs and remote communities will be procured. 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.
To fill in urgent gaps reported mainly from Somali, Tigray and Amhara regions, part of the supplies will be procured locally (using WHO standards for quality requirements) to speed the process the bidding has been initiated based of the most urgent gaps identified by RHBs and WHO led incident command centers (ICC).
The remaining requirements for the next 6 months (to avoid beginning of the year shortages) have been coordinated with FMOH and RHBs based on the projected potential number of cases and the risk for other outbreaks. Two tranches of international procurement (WHO catalog standard kits) one faster from the WHO logistic hub in Dubai and second from suppliers identified through bidding at the beginning of the year by the WHO HQ. It includes full kits for establishment of medium CTC tented centers, cholera kits for referral CTC and Cholera medicine kits to support existing CTC, CTU and Oral Rehydration Points (community level). Interagency Emergency health kits (IEHKs basic) for treatment of communicable diseases in emergency settings as IDPs for immediate response to increased number of cases. WHO will ensure the in-country transport until the regions. The transport within regions will be provide by UNOPs to the end beneficiaries (HF and Treatment centers) in Somali region, and for the other regions RHBs and WHO. Procurement and distribution of all planned supplies will be finalized by the end of November. The requested project period is 7 month to allow time for clearance of all encumbrances (financial report), and reporting of distributions and utilization of supplies.
The distribution of supplies will be readjusted with the partners through the cluster, ICC and technical working groups based on the epidemiological situation development and real needs.World Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationEthiopia Humanitarian FundDr Akpaka KaluWHO Representative to Ethiopia+251 911 202633kalua@who.intErna Van GoorIncident Manager+ 251983858803rvan@who.intAddis Ababa8.98048300 38.78553835Afar12.03644506 40.77273541Amhara11.56495248 38.04353615Oromia7.50798643 38.76521270SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Tigray13.77711474 38.43867332Health777230.36920240.751697471.11Ethiopia Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization1697471.11Ethiopia Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization0.64World Health OrganizationUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/H/UN/6738United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSurveillance and front line response to drought generated public health emergencies with a focus on AWDThe AWD outbreak response which started in 2015 continues in 2017 in Afar, Amhara, Oromia, SNNP, Tigray and Somali regions. The rapid increase in the number of cases (from mid-April 2017) to more than 4000/week triggered significant mobilization of resources by the FMOH/PHEM and partners for saving lives through access to treatment and the control of community spread. Although the outbreak has been brought under control in the most heavily affected Somali, Amhara, and recently Tigray Regions the AWD outbreak continues to spread, and will continue to spread unless current levels of response and control efforts are maintained. Drought-induced degradation of health determinants such as access to safe drinking water, wide-spread food insecurity with general poor nutrition and increasing SAM incidence, along with cross-border movements, internal displacement, on the back drop of an overburdened local health system increased the risk of further spread of AWD as well as other types of outbreaks with potential surge in Aug and Sept.
The present proposal aims to address an integrated approach to the emergency response and control of the outbreaks including maintaining and scaling up the early warning/surveillance, investigation, and confirmation of alerts and rapid response mechanisms along with improved access to appropriate treatment of cases (case management/IPC). Coordinated multi sectoral (WaSH, health, nutrition, food) multi-disciplinary (water quality, lab, IPC, CMAM) front line rapid response to contain the source. Effective coordination and command for informed decisions on complementary actions supported by strong logistic for implementation are essential and an objective of the proposed intervention.. The presence of qualified staff, laboratory support for guiding the response and availability of medicines for timely treatment of cases is essential to save lives during an outbreak. The activities are complementing and coordinated with the FMOH, RHBs and humanitarian partners’ response.
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).

The health crisis has evolved since the previous project began in May 2017. The number of people affected with AWD per week has gone up and down, from 150 per week in April to 42 in June, and 135 in mid-July. A resurgence of the number of AWD cases in Amhara and Tigray projected to affect 30,000 persons, and another in Gugi zone of Oromia may see a similar caseload. In parallel, Ethiopia Somali Region is also grappling with an alarming rise in malnutrition levels among children and pregnant/lactating mothers, combined with the spread of communicable diseases, such as measles.
In response, this new project proposes to provide operational support and common services to the RHB, UN and NGO to facilitate the health, WaSH and nutrition response to the broadening health sector emergency in hotspot, remote and far to reach areas of the Ethiopia Somali Region, and to help Amhara RHB respond to new AWD outbreaks. As required, other regions such as Oromiya and Tigray can also be supported based on regular discussions and reviews with OCHA and other key stakeholders.
The proposed project has four key components:
1. Fleet management services for response teams. So that health workers can visit remote parts of the region, UNOPS will assign vehicles (through service providers): Eighty five 4x4s and pickups for travel services to health workers. The vehicles will be in good condition (from 2010 or newer), with drivers who are familiar with the region. 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. An Operations Associate will be appointed under this component for troubleshooting, ensuring that the provider maintains vehicles, and facilitating the planning and work of response teams in the two regions and may extend to other regions as required.
2. Supply chain management services. UNOPS will deploy seven 5MT trucks across the 2 regions to enable RHBs, UN and NGO partners to deliver supplies in support of response efforts. These vehicles will deliver health, WaSH, education and nutrition supplies from the regional capital through to zonal logistics hubs for onward delivery to end-users in woredas and kebeles. The fleet management Operations Associate will also manage the supply chain component.
3. Disbursement of per diem payments. UNOPS will work with mobile payment company to ensure that the 423 RHB health workers travelling in UNOPS-supplied vehicles to remote, hotspot areas are paid per diem promptly, in accordance with MoH per diem rates. Disbursement through mobile payment companies is cost effective, as it reduces logistic and time costs. To manage this process, an Operations Associate will work at the command post in Jijiga and Addis Ababa to oversee per diem payments and assist with any changes or delays. Disbursements will include key loaders/unloaders assigned in the regions to cover their additional expenses, and avoid delays in service provision.
4. Capacity building and knowledge transfer. This component includes three key activities: a broad capacity assessment of the RHB’s existing supply chain management systems, mechanisms and capacities, on-the-job training of RHB employees, and a workshop in Addis Ababa to present findings and recommendations for the way forward to stakeholders (see ‘Implementation Plan’ section for more details). Overall, this component is to make sure that government has the capacity in the future to respond to similar crises and emergencies using its own resources and systems, without depending on ad-hoc support from UN or other partners

The residual effects of the El Niño drought are expected to be felt throughout 2017 and at the same time, eastern and southern Ethiopia is in the grip of a new drought, as a result of failed Spring and Autumn 2016 rains, this is due to the negative Indian Ocean Dipole (La Niña). This drought has increased severe acute malnutrition (SAM) rates, affecting especially children under five, always the most vulnerable group in the community.
Admission data from January to April 2017 for SAM was 20% higher than anticipated with the situation deteriorating across the southern drought belt, as well in several belg reliant zones of SNNPR, Afar, East and West Hararghe, Arsi, Guji (Oromia), and parts of Amhara.
The government, multi-agency and multi-sector June 2017 country needs assessment, confirmed under-performance of the belg harvest and proposed the addition of 1.7 million people to the relief food caseload - increasing the number to over 9.5 million.
In addition the Fall Armyworm infestation, particularly affecting the maize crops, continues to destroy Meher crops across 233 woredas in six regions. According to the UN Humanitarian bulletin June 2017, the pest has already affected more than 145,000 hectares of maize cropland, mostly in traditionally surplus producing and densely populated areas. The implication of this loss is multilayered, impacting household food security and national grain reserve as well as potentially impacting grain exports.
The recent June nutrition hotspot woreda classification shows an increase in Priority One (P1) woredas up from 192 (December 2016) to 228 (July 2017). Overall (P1, P2 and P3) the increase is from 454 to 461. Of the total hotspot priority one and hotspot priority two Woredas, 79 Hotspot priority one Woredas and 121 hostpot priority two Woredas are not covered by any partners. Oromia and SNNP Regions have the largest number of Woredas not covered by partners and 50% and 75% of the hotspot Woredas in Oromia and SNNPR regions respectively have gaps in humanitarian response.
With funding from various donors, GOAL has facilitated a Community-based Management of Malnutrition (CMAM) program since 2005, aimed at increasing the capacity of local government and community structures to prevent, mitigate, and respond to the impacts of malnutrition across targeted woredas in Ethiopia. CMAM supports a system that treats malnutrition but also raises awareness of service availability which brings children timely treatment before further complications and therefore reduces mortality. This is reflected in the high recovery rate (97.6%) achieved to date in GOAL's nutrition programmes.
This proposed project will support CMAM in 4 woredas: Wonago (Gedeo Zone), Kemba (Gamo Gofa Zone), Misrak Badawach and Mirab Badawacho (Hadiya Zone) of SNNP Region. GOAL will implement three components of CMAM: Treatment of severe acute malnutrition through Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding Programmes, and Stabilisation Centres, and Community Mobilization and Sensitisation. Training will be conducted for health extension workers and health workers on the management of acute malnutrition and on Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices. A total of 400 Health Development Army workers will be trained on community mobilization. Through this grant GOAL will strengthen 125 OTP, and 22 Stabilization centers providing a service to approximately 1,324 severely acutely malnourished children under five.
OTPs and SCs will be strengthened/established in 4 woredas as follows:
Misrak Badawacho - 41 OTP, 7 SC
Mirab Badawacho - 22 OTP, 3 SC
Wonago - 21 OTP, 5 SC

The humanitarian situation countrywide has been further compounded by below average spring rains – the third consecutive poor/failed rains in the southern drought belt. To date, the number of people requiring humanitarian food assistance in Ethiopia stands at 8.5 Million. The national ‘hotspot’ classification updated in early July show slight increase in the number of priority woredas (districts) from 454 to 461, nearly half of which (228 woredas) are now classified as ‘priority one’ (very severe). As of June, the worst affected households are facing Emergency (IPC Phase 4) food insecurity outcomes. The drought has resulted in significant livestock losses, greatly reduced access to food, and has driven large-scale displacement. Of the 461 current hotspots, nearly half (228) are considered top priority. In Somali region, out of the total 93 woredas, 83 woredas (90%) are classified as Hotspot 1 indicating highest severity needs for life-saving support. 1.7% of the population are affected by SAM, the most severely affected areas are Dollo, Korahe, Afder, Erer/Nogob and Jarar Zones. The nutritional situation has also been deteriorating rapidly with a caseload of over 376,000 children suffering from SAM - 97,000 of whom are in the Somali region. Some 3.6 million pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under age 5 are projected to develop moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) and 376,000 children under age 5 severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in 2017. The GU assessment conducted in Somali region in June 2017 reports that Malnutrition caseloads are increasing as the drought intensified in nine out of eleven zones in the region. Admission rates in the region show 36,578 SAM cases in the last six months, higher SAM cases from all therapeutic feeding centers compared to 12,610 cases in the period November 2015 to April 2016. Save the Children rapid assessment and other field reports indicate high levels of increasing acute malnutrition trend, absence and weak health care services, poor technical capacity of staff working in the woredas and shortage of routines drugs. Field reports indicate that many health facilities in Nogob amp Erer zone are not functional at all times and they are unable to provide the basic health care services expected from the level of the care. The assessment also found that there is no a regular screening (CHD) in most of the woredas, poor nutrition reporting systems and no clear referral linkages for malnourished cases. This is compounded by lack of standard CMAM AND IYCF-E implementation, monitoring, and supervision guidelines and tools. Given the protracted dry spell, and projected rupture of relief and TSFP pipelines, serious concerns exist that malnutrition rates will deteriorate further in the months ahead unless full food, and nutrition response is secured across the region until the situation improves. Based on the identified gaps in the GU assessment and key recommendations set forth on the Mid-Year Humanitarian Requirement Document, Save the Children propose to implement emergency nutrition response project in Garbo, Hararey, Horashagah amp Wangay woredas (which are identified as hot spot priority number 1) of Nogob amp Erer zones. The project will support the Management of SAM at Stabilization Centers (SC)/ Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) Management of MAM at TSFP: In priority one woredas of Garbo, Horashagah, Hararey and Wangay, SC’s will support TSFP targeting lt 5 years children’s, Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) and OTP discharged children with moderate acute malnutrition through supporting EOS screening and provision of super cereals.

The humanitarian situation in the mentioned Woredas is not showing any signs of improvement since last May 2017. The mentioned Woredas are known for recurrent drought attack which resulted acute food security, critical water shortage, and weak health service coverage. According to the June, 2017 hotspot classification three of the proposed woredas are categorized as priority one (P1) where there is a high need of humanitarian assistance including support on the management of acute malnutrition. Save the Children has been implementing a one-year emergency nutrition project in Halaba Woreda from June, 2016 to May, 2017 for a total of 12 months and from October, 2017 to May, 2017 in Mareko and Alle Woredas. Despite the continual interventions in the areas, the reports still show that the numbers for Sever Acute Malnutrition (SAM) and Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) cases are still high indicating that the need for further intervention. Save the Children proposes to implement a nutrition emergency intervention to reduce the morbidity and mortality of infants and young children, pregnant and lactating women due to deterioration of the nutritional status and lack of safe drinking water among severely drought-affected communities in Segen Guraghe and Halaba Zones of the SNNPR. The project will have a duration of six months with a total budget of $ 324,000. The project aims to improve the nutritional status of drought-affected communities, through the provision of life -saving and protective nutritional services. Save the Children 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 children 0-59 months of age. The project will also support optimal Infant and Young Child Feeding in Emergencies (IYCF-E) practices of infants and young children under-24 months and supporting the nutritional needs and care of pregnant and lactating women. This project will give emphasis on community mobilization, building relationships and foster active participation of the community in order for achieve the project objective. The project will use the existing health system platform by strengthening the capacity of the government to respond for such types of acute shocks. In health facilities where there are nutritional services such as management of acute malnutrition and integration of IYCF-E, it strengthen the service delivery to the maximum quality by provision of regular technical and logistics support. In others where there is no systemic CMAM intervention, the project will establish and strengthen outpatient therapeutic program (OTP) and Stabilization Center (SC) sites as part of availing the basic nutritional supports for the affected community. The planned nutritional interventions include regular support for community mobilization and screening, establishing and strengthening OTP and SC centers for the treatment of acute malnutrition, strengthen referral linkages between CMAM components support, lactation support in delivery and infant care units in collaboration with Woreda Administration, Woreda Health Bureau, Woreda Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Office and World Food Program. In addition, the project will also provide capacity-building activities like regular onsite technical and operational support and case management trainings. Save the Children will support screening activities, ensures that woreda health staff and health development armies are adequately trained on operational guidance of IYCF–E Interventions, support the linkage between nutritional program with routine and campaign immunization by covering logistics and mobilization cost.Save the Children FundSave the Children FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundEkin OgutogullariCountry Director+251 911 215792Ekin.Ogutogullari@savethechildren.orgSNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Nutrition115481.83124539.23240021.06Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund240021.06Ethiopia Humanitarian FundSave the Children Fund27792.53Save the Children FundUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/N/INGO/6800United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Nutrition Response for Drought Affected Persons in Afanbo, Millie, Megale and Konbe woredas, Afar Regional State.The Ethiopia National Disaster Risk Management Commission announced that 8.5 million people will need emergency food assistance from July to December 2017 (June 2017 HRD). Food security prospects in Afar region are expected to deteriorate for the next six months, significantly impacting the health and nutrition of vulnerable people - particularly children under five and pregnant and lactating women.
This proposed project aims to strengthen the existing capacity of Community-Based Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) integrated with Infant Young Child Feeding Practice in Emergencies (IYCF-E). A total of 5,174 children under five children and PLW with acute malnutrition will benefit through 48 TSFP sites, 48 OTPs and 8 SCs in the four target woredas.
Plan International Ethiopia (PIE) has extensive experience working with protection and gender issues in emergencies, and will effectively address related concerns throughout the project. PIE will disaggregate all targets/indicators by age and sex, and appropriate measures will be taken to ensure equal participation and benefit of girls, boys, men and women. Child protection will also be a core value, and all training activities will include a module addressing sexual and gender based violence, child labor, child marriage and separation.
This project has been designed with government stakeholders, and will be implemented within the existing local structures to ensure sustainability, alignment and compliance with the national strategic response plan. Building the capacity of communities and government partners is a key component.
PIE’s Country Office and Afar project coordination office will be responsible for management and coordination, with technical support as needed from PIE’s Emergency Team. PIE already employs 1 emergency response project coordinator, 2 CMAM coordinators, 2 OTP nurse, 2 IYCF nurse, 2 TSFP nurse, 4 measurers and support staff in the target areas.

This intervention will prioritize the prevention of and early treatment of acute malnutrition by supporting local health systems in Hawasa Zuria, Loka-Abaya and Bona Zuria Districts. 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 in Bona Zuria and Hawassa Zuria as well as technical and logistic support in Loka Abaya districts. 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. Under this project, 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).
In addition in Hawasa Zuria and Bona Zuria for direct support to MAM target groups, Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSPF) sites will be opened at the kebele level, with the aim of further strengthen the referral linkage between TSFP and Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding program (OTP) in Health Posts. At the same time, the project will build the capacity of targeted 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, 77 Out-Patient Therapeutic Feeding (OTP) and 11 Stabilization Centers (SCs) will be strengthened through technical and logistic supports. Moreover, 50 OTP sites and 7 SC will be further strengthened by furnishing with essential CMAM supplies.
Furthermore, the project aims to build the capacity of 36 HWs on CMAM-IYCF service provision, and 173 HEWs on IYCF- SAM management for improved quality SAM services in SC and OTP respectively.
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) 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 module that presents the risks and issues children face during times of crisis, including sexual and gender based violence (SGBV), child labor, child marriage and separation.

The Woreda is composed of 12 kebeles. The Woreda is located towards the Eastern part of Gololecha which is recently alienated from Golocha woreda.
This integrated (CMAM) project will provide support to host communities in underserved areas affected by the drought in Ethiopia, Oromia region of Arsi zone specifically Gololcha and shenen kolu woredas. 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. The project will support 8 health centers in both inpatient and 36 health post through Outpatient Therapeutic Programs, strengthen IYCF and community outreach activities including vitamin A supplementation and deworming in all the Health facilities of the two districts. Program approaches will include community education, active case detection and treatment (strengthen TSFP and OTP activities), IYCF in emergencies, deworming campaigns, and routine nutritional mass screening targeting host communities throughout the project time frame.
The proposed project will reach
1,161 of children under five years with Sever Acute Malnutrition
16,631 of children age 6-59 months with Moderate Acute Malnutrition
1,832 moderately malnourished Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs)
8987 women of reproductive age and men will receive maternal and child nutrition education

These resulting in chronic food insecurity in remaining priority woredas for emergency food and productive safety net programs.
Production performance of Gena Bosa and Loma woredas reduced and the factors that have attributed for yield reductions are late onset and early end of rain and its insufficiency. In addition, production performance of the woreda affected due to occurred maize pest (America fall army warm). Currently the supply food grains are below normal. Market situation is unfavorable because the price on food crops increased significantly while the price of livestock decreased significantly. The prices of food grains are very high compared to both reference year and last year. The supply of livestock to market increased significantly when compared to the same time of last year. The demand for livestock decreased due to increased supply and poor physical condition and the price is very low. The wage rate of unskilled labor increased but the opportunity of getting employed decreased when compared to last year and reference year. Generally the current food crop price is increasing and it makes the situation unfavorable for the population that mainly depends on market and it affects the food security of the affected population. Consequently, coping mechanisms have been witnessed in the woreda during the assessment like migrating to neighbor Woreadas for labor, increase excessive sale of livestock and reducing number and size of meal per day. Therefore, Mothers and Children Multisectoral Development Organization (MCMDO), propose to implement the full package of Community Management of Acute Malnutrition in the woredas.
The full CMAM package comprises the following three components: 1) Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP), 2) Stabilization Centre (SC), and 3) Community Mobilization (CM). MCMDO will focus on providing of life-savings services through each of the components. The project will also focus on systems strengthening through capacity building through formal and on-the-job training, especially for the health extension workers. To ensure universal service provision, MCMDO will establish or strengthen 76 new OTP, and 9 Stabilization centers providing a service to approximately 1243 Severely Acutely malnourished children under five. The OTP distribution by woreda will be 36 in Gena Bosa and 40 in Loma. Similarly, SC site distribution will be four in Gena Bosa and five in Loma Bosa.
Infant and Young Child Feeding Practices in Emergencies (IYCF-E) will also be attached to this standard continuum of care to help break the malnutrition cycle especially with regards IYCF practices. A total of 156 Health Extension Workers (HEW) will be trained on IYCF-E and 1243 households with children under 5 will be counseled on IYCF. Similarly 156 HEWs and 386 Health Development Army will be trained on community mobilization.

Currently, the country is the facing the Horn of Africa drought emergency, affecting south and east of Oromia and SNNP regions and the entire Afar and Somali regions. The 2017 Government-led multi-agency and multi-sector mid-year needs assessment confirmed underperformance of the recent belg harvest and proposed the addition of 1.7 million people to the relief food caseload - pushing the number of relief food beneficiaries to 8.5 million people. The number of hot spot priority one (P1) woredas has gone up from 192 in December 2016 to 228 in July 2017, with the overall hotspot priority woredas (P1, P2 and P3) increasing from 454 to 461. As per the updated projections, it is estimated that some 8.5 million people are in need of food assistance, 376,397 children are at risk of severe acute malnutrition (SAM), and 3.6 million children and pregnant and lactating women (PLW) face threats of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). Current SAM admissions trend, threats of disease outbreaks, and the rain failure points towards further increase in malnutrition caseload. Taking all these points in to consideration, the capacity of the health system needs to be strengthened to ensure quality of SAM management service especially in those region and zones with poor capacity and poor quality of service. The proposed project will aim at enhancing the technical capacity of the system through provision of CMAM/IYCF-E management training for 1250 health workers (500 in Somali, 300 in Oromia, 250 in SNNP and 200 in Afar) and recruitment of nutrition consultants that can ensure a good performance of the CMAM program saving lives of children with SAM. In addition the grant will support the , monitoring of programme quality of care in SCs and OTPs by deployment of CMAM/IYCF-E monitors (18 in Somali, 6 in Oromia and 5 in SNNP) for three months hence ensuring a robust field monitoring and technical support in in place. Finally, the grant will support procurement and distribution of SC equipment for the expansion of new inpatient treatment sites and strengthening existing ones.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundEric Alain AtegboChief of Nutrition Section+251 115 184 015eaategbo@unicef.orgJasinta Hyachits AchenNutrition Specialist+251 115 184 006jachen@unicef.orgMona Mohamed AhmedDonor Relationship Specialist +251 11 518 4241mmohamedahmed@unicef.orgAddis Ababa8.98048300 38.78553835Afar12.03644506 40.77273541Oromia7.50798643 38.76521270SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Nutrition626642.421073357.811700000.23Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund1700000.23Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/NFI/ES/INGO/6725United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLifesaving Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items Response for IDPs in 2017The proposed intervention will provide life-saving assistance to 4000 HH (22,000 internally displaced persons) impacted by natural disasters (drought, floods, and other natural hazards) and conflict, and who are in critical need of emergency shelter (ES) and non-food items (NFI) in Ethiopia.
Natural disasters including drought, flooding, 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 5, conducted nationwide in May/June 2017, a total of 171,161 households (HH) representing 1,056,738 individuals, are in a situation of internal displacement in various regions of Ethiopia. The highest rates of displacement are reported in Somali (53%), Oromia (34%), Afar (5%), Tigray (4%), Gambella (2%) Amhara (1%) and Hareri (0.4%) regions respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict (56%), drought (35%) and flash floods (3%). Of the total displaced 51.6% are women and 48.4% are male.
Nationally, the ES/NFI Cluster has 6,000 ES/NFI kits in stock, with an additional 10,300 kits being procured. 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 project, the ES/NFI cluster will apply the inter-cluster prioritization criteria and will target 16 zones (51,000 HHs) classified as ‘priority 1’ who have not benefitted from any response and a further 22 ‘Priority 2’ zones (72,000 HHs) that have received some assistance.
The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following Cluster members: the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
In total, through the joint IOM, IRC and NRC intervention, ES/NFI assistance will be provided to 12,900 households (9,800 in kind and 3,100 in cash) while a total of 16,319 women from ES/NFI beneficiary households will receive in kind dignity kits. The ES/NFI kits will be distributed in Somali (30%) Oromia (20%), Afar (20%), Gambella (10%), Amhara (7%), Southern Nations Nationalities and People (SNNP) (5%), Tigray (5%) and ‘Other’ (3%) regions. Exact areas of distribution will be identified through joint assessment by ES/NFI Cluster agencies in coordination with regional and zonal government authorities.
Cash -based assistance will be provided for 3,100 households (IOM: 2,200 HH, IRC: 400 HHs, NRC: 500 HH by NRC) in project locations where quality materials are available on the local market and can be purchased directly by beneficiaries.
IRC will use this opportunity to pilot cash-based programming on ES/NFI and apply lessons learnt from the cash based program piloted by the ES/NFI cluster members.
Through this project, the IRC will provide life-saving ES/NFI assistance for 4,000 HHs (22,000 internally displaced persons) and dignity kits for 5,060 women and girls of reproductive age in Somali, Afar, Oromia, Gambella, Southern Nations and Nationalities People’s Region (SNNPR), Amhara, Tigray and Other Regions of Ethiopia. People who have been internally displaced in 2017 due to natural disasters (drought, floods, and other natural hazards) and/or conflict, and who are in critical need of ES/NFI, will be prioritized. The IRC will intervene directly in geographic regions where it has a presence (such as Oromia, Somali, SNNPR, Gambella and Tigray) and will distribute ES-NFI assistance through active partners in areas where the IRC has limited geographic physical presence.
Cash based assistance will be used for an estimated 10% of the total number of beneficiaries – representing 400 IDP HHs.

Natural disasters mainly attributed to drought, flooding, 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 DTM Round 5, conducted nationwide in May/June 2017, a total of 171,161 households (HH) representing 1,056,738 individuals are in a situation of internal displacement in various regions of Ethiopia with the highest displacements reported in Somali (53%), Oromia (34%), Afar (5%), Tigray (4%), Gambella (2%) Amhara (1%) and Hareri (0.4%) regions respectively. The primary drivers of displacement across the country include conflict (56%), drought (35%) and flash flood (3%). Of the total displaced 51.6% are women and 48.4% are male.
Since the start of 2017, as per DTM R 5, it is reported that 73,328 HH representing 450,160 individuals are newly displaced with the vast majority located in Somali (41,220 HHs) and Oromia (30,011 HHs) regions. This number has already surpassed the projected displacement in 2017 under the Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) 2017 which projected a total of 68,000 newly internally displaced HH (376,000 individuals).
From a total of 171,161 HH representing 1,056,738 individuals identified by DTM Round 5, 84 percent (144,000 HH) have been identified as in need of ES/NFI humanitarian assistance in Afar, Amhara, Gambella, Hareri, Oromia, Somali and Tigray regions. In 2017 alone, the ES/NFI cluster led by IOM, has received official requests to support 61,000 internally displaced HH – 95% per cent of the total HRD 2017 target beneficiaries. Out of the population displaced in 2017, 73,328 HH (DTM R5), the ES/NFI cluster have reached 1,763 beneficiary households only in Somali Region (5% of IDP HHs in the region). 49,838 kits distributed by the cluster went to households displaced prior to 2017. Nationally, the ES/NFI Cluster has 6,000 ES/NFI kits in stock, with an additional 10,300 kits being procured. With the current needs exceeding the ES/NFI kits in stock and pipeline, the cluster is forced to prioritize its response to an alarming degree. Within the proposed project, the ES/NFI cluster will apply the inter-cluster prioritization criteria and will respond in areas that have not received any response across 16 zones (51,000 HHs) classified as ‘priority 1’ and further 22 zones (72,000 HHs) who have received some assistance considered as ‘Priority 2’.
The project will be implemented through a coordinated response of the following Cluster members: the International Organization for Migration (IOM)/Ethiopian Red Cross Society (ERCS as implementing partner), International Rescue Committee (IRC) and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC).
In total, through the joint IOM, IRC and NRC intervention, ES/NFI assistance will be provided to 12,900 households (9,800 in kind and 3,100 in cash) while a total of 16,318 women and girls from ES/NFI beneficiary households will receive in kind dignity kits.

IOM will engage ERCS as an implementing partner for ES/NFI and Dignity kit distributions based on the agency’s wide geographic coverage, cost effectiveness and past partnership history with IOM.
For cash-based assistance IOM, IRC and NRC will provide assistance to 3,100 households. IOM will apply lessons learnt from the cash pilot funded by EHF (in Gambella beneficiaries received cash to cover transportation cost to market due to distance from the IDP site, pre-defined commodity voucher and two plastic sheets) and (Somali region: Unconditional cash due to protracted situation of IDPS) which reached a total of 982 households from September 2016 to March 2017. The cash-based intervention is based on the recommendations of the ES/NFI Cluster’s continued development of experienced based knowledge on cash interventions in the sector.
IOM will assist 4,400 households through distribution of in-kind Emergency Shelter (ES) kits. Due to poor quality of plastic sheets in the country, IOM will import plastic sheeting of international quality specifications as per IOM NFI standards for distribution. A total of 2,200 HHs assisted with ES will receive in-kind Non-food items (NFI) assistance while the remaining 2,200 will receive cash-based assistance for NFI materials. Out of the total 4,400 HHS, 5,566 girls/women of reproductive age will be assisted with dignity kits. In addition, in areas of ES/NFI assistance to contribute to the protection of affected communities, IOM will distribute in-kind 150 solar lanterns to community spaces, including health post, youth centres, community police, women association and community administration centre.

As a result, most of Oromia’s woredas are classified as hotspots and the region is hosting 367,557 IDPs (48.9% male and 51.1% female), according to IOM’s DTM Round 5. This figure represents an increase of 87,690 IDPs (31.3%) in Oromia since DTM’s Round 4 assessments in March/April 2017. The Round 5 assessment also found an increase in IDP settlement areas in Oromia: 18.8% of surveyed IDP sites opened before 2016, while 39.6% opened in 2016 and 41.6% opened in 2017. Conflict was the primary cause of displacement for an estimated 69% of the displaced population, followed by drought (16%). The most commonly cited obstacles to returning home were lack of food (68%), damage to houses (65%), and lack of safety and security (62%).
The latest DTM also highlighted the incidence of GBV, harmful traditional practices, and child protection violations – issues that were also raised in previous protection assessments. The 2016 Protection Analysis Mehre assessment found that women and children face protection risks when their parents and male counterparts migrate and leave them behind. It found that when girls migrate to urban areas they are exposed to trafficking, child labour, and sexual exploitation. It found high rates of early marriage (346 cases reported), child labour (1,121 cases reported), and violence against women and children at home (4,591 cases reported), including instances of women being forced to exchange sexual favors for food. The DTM also found that early marriage is used as a coping mechanism to address the depletion of household assets and livelihoods in acute emergency settings and a reason for girls dropping out of school. It also found that girls are usually tasked with fire wood collection, fetching water, and petty trade, and that these activities expose them to sexual exploitation and abuse by the host community. More generally, the assessment found that women and children are at higher risk of violence in IDP areas, where they are often isolated from social networks and GBV services.
In response, the IRC proposes to establish a mobile protection team (MPT) in Oromia to reach women and children with comprehensive CP and GBV services that reduce risks of violence and stress. The MPT will provide survivor-centered services in accordance with international standards to guarantee safe, confidential, and high quality GBV and CP services. These services will include the provision of Women and children wellness center (WCWC) mapping of GBV referral pathways, technical capacity building of local government staff and NGOs, and awareness-raising in the community about GBV and CP risks and preventive measures.

Under this project, Oxfam will scale up the mobile protection teams (MPTs), composed of 3 Protection staff and 1 staff from the Bureau of women and Children’s Affairs (BOWCA) to continue regular monitoring in the IDP sites in Gashamo, (Jarar zone), Galadi (Dollo zone). At least 2,000 IDPs will be targeted as direct participants in the protection assessment and monitoring.. The assessment will obtain information about protection issues, as well perspectives of IDPs on desired solutions. The issues identified will be in line with the priorities outlined in the HRD Protection priority activities/indicators. The analysis will be shared with the Protection Cluster at both the national and regional levels through the Protection Working Group. Furthermore, the MPTs will identify individuals requiring specialised services and assistance and refer them to relevant organizations including Norwegian Refugee Council (legal assistance), GOAL and MSF (nutrition).
To order to inform the referrals, services will be mapped in sites targeted under the protection monitoring process. Also, Oxfam will follow up with the concerned organizations on the referred cases, maintaining a database and ensuring confidentiality throughout. Information from the service mapping will be shared proactively with IDPs during awareness sessions. These sessions will be conducted in close synergy with WFP, targeting the food distribution sites and beneficiaries covered.
The MPTs will be supported to conduct awareness sessions in friendly spaces for women, men, girls and boys in targeted IDP sites. Relevant existing awareness raising materials produced by others will also be taken under consideration, especially those already produced by WFP while delivering the awareness sessions. Oxfam is proposing to introduce a shift from traditional fixed friendly sites to mobile ones: further discussion with site authorities and other existing institutions (such as schools and health/feeding centres) and spaces will be identified as friendly safe for the target groups. Preference will also be given to those sites where food distribution is being undertaken by WFP. The safe spaces will target 1,000 women and 1,000 men with recreational activities and 500 girls and 500 boys.
Protection committees organized under the previous OCHA funded project will be continually supported, while additional ones will be supported in the new location (Bokh). They will be partners in implementing the activities in the mobile friendly spaces, while also being trained on community-based protection. Furthermore, at least 120 staff of NGOs and government offices, in particular, BOWCA, and the Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau (DPPB) will be trained on community-based protection.
Lastly, dignity kits will be provided to drought affected IDPs a total of 1,750 people will receive kits in each zone (1250 women and 500 men each in Doolo and Jarar).
The project will be implemented in Galaadi Woreda in Doollo, and Gashamo Woreda of Jarar. Oxfam will directly implement the project in Gashamo while OWDA will implement in Galaadi.

The inability to access legal identity documents, including national identity cards, birth certificates, and marriage certificates, is a key protection concern faced by IDPs, and has been identified as an area of possible intervention by Mobile Protection Teams currently operating in the Somali region.
A preliminary assessment conducted by the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) indicates that as few as 5% of 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, and Mobile Protection teams operating in Dollo Zone (Warder, Danot, and Galladi Woredas) and Jarar Zone (Gashamo Woreda) to enhance the ability of IDPs to obtain legal identity documents. NRC’s activities will (1) enhance understanding amongst governmental and local authorities, community leaders and humanitarian actors about the importance of legal identity documents for IDPs through capacity building (training workshops) and (2) ensure that IDPs are better informed about the importance of legal documents, and are able to obtain legal documents, through group information sessions, the distribution of informational materials, mobile counselling, and individualized assistance, including accompaniment of those extremely vulnerable.

The project will establish two Mobile Protection Teams (MBTs) operating in four selected 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 protection teams will also be sensitized on disability mainstreaming before initiating their work in the field. The mobile protection team will undertake all-inclusive protection monitoring, service mapping and referral pathways, identification and response to community-level protection concerns, referral and response to individual protection cases, and cluster reporting. The mobile protection team will operate in four Hotspot Woredas: Yabelo and Guchi from Borane zone, and Babile and Gursum from East Hararghe zone.
The project will also establish children and women friendly inclusive safe spaces equipped with trained protection workers amp CP/GBV community workers, co-located in temporary health centers or temporary learning centers in IDP sites. The children and women friendly inclusive spaces will provide community based services in the field particularly targeting children/women vulnerable to protection risks including people with disabilities and older persons : i) CP/GBV direct service delivery including community and family support, focused non-specialized support and specialized services (using short term non-pharmacological psychotherapy) aiming at improving coping mechanisms of vulnerable persons and enhancing community-based level protection strategies ii) Ensuring the participation of the affected community to improve CP/GBV situation iii) Coordination with other humanitarian actors to enhance the referral pathways and thus to provide a holistic response (GBV, CP, health actors etc.) iv) referrals and linkages to the Children and women’s spaces v) providing capacity building support to Woreda level women and children affairs offices. Children and Women’s friendly inclusive spaces will be established in Yabelo Woreda of Borena zone and Gursum Woreda in East Hararghe zone of Oromia region where HelpAge and Handicap International have a very strong presence. Awareness raising activities are also integrated with the children and women friendly inclusive spaces service provision including community conversations facilitation, IEC materials distribution and public event organization (during 16 days of activism and international women’s day). The community discussions will be facilitated by diverse community wellbeing workers focusing on prevention of GBV and child abuse as well as facilitation of incidence reporting and referral services.
The project will support gender, age and disability capacity building through short term mainstreaming assistance to all actors granted under the EHF Protection Cluster scheme. The team will build gender in emergencies mainstreaming capacity, specific needs with dedicated focus on ageing and disability and their needs among humanitarian workers operating in the targeted IDP camps. Tailored Gender in Emergencies tools and Age and Disability Capacity (ADCAP) tool will be employed.

Ethiopia.The proposed intervention will contribute towards the provision of timely, safe and dignified emergency transportation services from entry points to designated camps for 11,000 South Sudanese, Somali and Eritrean refugees in Gambella, Somali and Tigray regions of Ethiopia.
The Revised 2017 South Sudan Regional Refugee Response Plan launched on 15th May, 2017 anticipates a total of 75,000 new refugees to reach an overall total of 405,000 South Sudanese refugees in Ethiopia. Due to the deteriorating security situation in South Sudan there remains the potential of massive influxes into the Gambella Region emphasizing the urgent need for multi-sectoral humanitarian interventions to meet the needs of refugees.As of 31st July 2017, IOM relocated 81,599 South Sudanese (45,675 Females and 35,923 Males) entering Gambella since September 2016 of which 36,414 entered since January. The increased influx from South Sudan has a severe impact on the already limited resources in existing camps and places a significant strain on the host community. With camps in Gambella Region reaching full capacity, Gure Shombola camp in Benishangul-Gumuz region was established in April 2017 to host 13,000 newly arrived refugees. As of June 30th, 2,524 South Sudanese refugees have been relocated from Nguenyyiel camp in Gambella to Gure Shombola camp in Benishangul-Gumuz. The Government of Ethiopia recently indicated willingness to review additional options alongside Gure Shembola relocation including potential out of camp status for new refugees in Gambella.
According to UNHCR contingency planning, the instability and the worsening drought conditions in neighboring Somalia is anticipated to force significant numbers (5,000 – 10,000) of Somalis to flee their homes towards Dollo Ado refugee camps. From January to June 2017, 5,752 registered asylum seekers have already crossed the border from Somalia to Dollo Ado, higher than the 3,000 expected for the whole of 2017 in previous planning figures. Between 1st January and 30th June 2017, IOM provided transportation assistance and pre-departure medical screening to over 5,900 Somali refugees (3,061 Females and 2,845 males).
In addition, political instability and poor economic conditions in Eritrea, have resulted in a spike of refugees arriving in Ethiopia’s Tigray Region since February 2017. IOM began providing transportation assistance in Tigray since 1st March following an urgent request for support from Administration for Refugees and returnees Affairs (ARRA) and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). New arrivals are transported from Endabaguna Reception Center, located 20 kilometers west of Shire, to five camps in Tigray Region. As of 30th June 2017, IOM provided transportation to a total of 9,548 Eritrean refugees with 11% unaccompanied minors. According to UNHCR planning figures, a total of 15,000 Eritrean refugees are expected to enter Ethiopia by end of 2017. With a large percentage of unaccompanied minors, decongesting the reception center is crucial to mitigate exposure to various health and protection risks.
With the proposed action, IOM will ensure provision of Pre Departure Medical Services (PDMS) and transportation assistance to refugees from border points/reception center to UNHCR and ARRA designated refugee camps. The migration health center will continue to provide medical services such as PDMS to determine those Fitness To Travel (FTT) for all the travelling asylum seekers/refugees and provision of medical escorts. Persons requiring medical attention will continue to be referred to relevant stakeholders, such as ARRA and Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF). IOM will also continue to provide special assistance and medical escort to unaccompanied and separated children, pregnant and lactating women, disabled and elderly and those with chronic medical conditions among others.International Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationEthiopia Humanitarian Fund Emergency Post-CrisisProgramme Coordinatormwyndham@iom.intMartin WyndhamGambela7.68385036 34.33675424Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Tigray13.77711474 38.43867332Protection341563.79658436.211000000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration1000000.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6684United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion for vulnerable communities in Somali and Oromiya Regions of Ethiopia.The Ethiopian government's multi-agency and multi-sector country needs assessment, conducted in June 2017, has confirmed under-performance of the Belg harvest and proposed the addition of 1.7 million people to the relief food caseload - increasing the number to over 9.5 million. According to the assessment report, some 3 million people in approximately 200 woredas are facing critical water shortages. Targeted emergency water trucking is required at internally displaced sites, health posts and health centers. The water shortage is exacerbating the on-going Acute Watery Diarrhea (AWD) outbreak, particularly in Somali region, where 90% of the AWD cases are recorded (EHF Allocation paper 2nd round, July 2017).
Informed by the Belg assessment, the WASH cluster agreed on ‘top priority’ activities. GOAL’s WASH objectives are in line with the WASH sector needs and the target woredas are identified based on discussions with the WASH cluster and the Zonal and regional health offices.
Concurring with one of the main strategic objectives developed to guide humanitarian actions: To save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought and acute food insecurity, GOAL drafted this proposal. The main priority activities of this emergency WASH project are:
Supporting infrastructure to connect sites to existing functional wells
Hygiene and Sanitation promotion Activities
GOAL conducted a WASH assessment in July 2017 in all target woredas and identified the gaps, as poor water, sanitation and hygiene practices, especially at health facility level. The woreda capacity is poor and there are no partners targeting WASH in these areas. GOAL is already implementing nutrition activities in the woredas and will implement the WASH activities to complement the nutrition interventions, focusing on health facilities and stabilization centers (SCs).
The proposed woredas are:
Warder, Danot, Bokh, and Lehiyub Woreda in Dollo zone Somali Region
Berbere, Dolo Mena, Meda Welabo, and Harena-Buluk Woredas in Bale Zone Oromia Region
Gorodola and Girja Woredas in Guji Zone Oromia Region.
These target woredas are in line with the WASH Cluster prioritization exercise.GOALGOALEthiopia Humanitarian FundSolomon GirmaAssistant Humanitarian Response Program Manager+251 911 87 93 02solomongi@et.goal.ieDinkneh AsfawCountry Director+251 911214432Dinkneha@et.goal.ieMary T MurphyRefugee Programme Manager+251 930033098maryt@et.goal.ieOromia7.50798643 38.76521270Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Water Sanitation Hygiene146685.03538382.40685067.43Ethiopia Humanitarian FundGOAL411040.46Ethiopia Humanitarian FundGOAL242360.84Ethiopia Humanitarian FundGOALEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6686United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency WASH Response for Drought Affected Communities in Somali RegionThe weak and erratic 2017 gu/genna season resulted in under performance of the belg harvest in Somali region, pushing the number of people in need of assistance to 9.5 million. The resultant in migration and reduction of Terms of Trader has negatively influenced market dynamics. Consequently food accessibility of the drought affected communities has been challenged, increasing malnutrition rate in the region. To date, 36,578 SAM cases have been reported in the last six months, particularly among IDPs. The low performance of the gu/genna rain restrained the surface water sources, putting additional burden on ground water sources. Water recharge rate has been inadequate, resulting in depletion of water table and less yields from boreholes. Moreover, the overall hygiene and sanitation condition remains unfavorable with cases of AWD expected to rise with the approaching rainy season. Less than 3% of the kebeles and 1% of the IDP sites have latrine coverage the prevalence of open defecation is creating high risks for the spread of water borne diseases.
According to the 2017 Gu Assessment, currently, a total of 403 kebeles across the Somali region are considered hotspot 1 due to acute water shortages. Around 27% of the boreholes are non-functional. While rehabilitation of surface and ground water sources will ensure more permanent access to water, water trucking remains the only plausible intervention for ensuring access to safe and adequate water. As an exit strategy from water trucking, 40 boreholes need quick repair while 40 additional boreholes will ensure long term, safe access to water. As per WaSH cluster in Ethiopia, some 7,265 latrines are required only for the IDP sites to bring the situation at par (as per minimum standard). The numbers are cited even higher in the Gu assessment report (June 2017): some 500,000 latrines are required across the region. Hygiene promotion measures and essential NFIs are required to complement sanitation facilities.
Oxfam is proposing life saving water sanitation and hygiene promotion activities with gender and protection as key cross-cutting themes. The proposed project comprises of two core components: Water and Hygiene/Sanitation. The aim is to increase access to adequate and safe water while also to increase access to sanitation facilities including WASH NFIs, and complementing this with improved knowledge of personal and environmental hygiene. The action will be implemented across 15 woredas of four zones in the Somali region - Doolo, Jarar, Afder and Korahey. Exact targeting of woredas has taken into account where the needs are highest in terms of water/sanitation access, and risks of disease outbreak. The action is designed to primarily target IDPs.
In the water component, 4 water schemes will be extended, increasing access to water for approximately 40,000 IDPs and malnutrition patients across Doolo and Jarar. One additional borehole will be treated in Afder, ensuring potable water is available for 10,000 IDPs. At each of the aforementioned boreholes, one WASHCo will be trained, thereby ensuring continuity. Oxfam will retain a portion of the budget for water trucking benefitting 150,000 IDPs for 30 days. This will act as a contingency in case the Dyre rains are delayed and the needs re-escalate, enabling Oxfam to maintain roughly the same amount of water trucking beneficiaries it is currently reaching, as more sustainable solutions are put into place.
In the Hygiene/Sanitation component, 60 blocks of latrines will be installed across IDP sites in Doolo and Jarar benefitting 7,200 individuals. This will be complemented with the provision of environmental cleaning kits in 15 IDP sites, across the same zones, as well as the provision of WASH NFIs and hygiene promotion initiatives focused on disease prevention targeting 60,000 individuals. These actions serve not only to curb the spread of water and vector borne diseases, but also to put into place preventative measures.OXFAM GBOXFAM GBOrganisation for Welfare and Development in Action (OWDA)Ethiopia Humanitarian FundManish Kumar AgrawalOI Humanitarian Programme Coordinator +251923 772725magrawal@oxfam.org.ukZerihun EndaleGrants Specialist0913 240976zendale@oxfam.org.ukSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Water Sanitation Hygiene593440.171806695.642400135.81Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB1920108.65Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB210670.49OXFAM GBUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs22505.98OXFAM GBUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6716United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency WASH and AWD response to vulnerable IDPs and drought affected communities in Babile and Gursum Woredas of Fafan Zone, and Dollo Bay woreda of Afder Zone, Somali Regional stateTo address the dual impact of conflict and drought that have caused displacement of large populations in Somali region, the Danish Refugee Council (DRC) proposes to improve access to safe water, sanitation and Hygiene for internally displaced persons and hosting and drought-affected communities in Anod in Babile Woreda (Qoloji IDP site) and Gursum Woreda of Fafan zone and in Korhayle IDP site and Dollo Bay Kebele 01 and 02 of Dollo Bay woreda of Somali Region.
DRC’s proposed action will meet emergency WASH for drought and displacement affected people in the above-mentioned areas of Afder and Fafan zone through extension of a permanent water supply system, construction of elevated tanks, provisions of water treatment chemicals, construction of water distribution points, NFIs and hygiene promotion.
The proposed DRC project will directly reach 30593 people in Fafan zone and 25,484 people in Dollo Bay woreda. In total, the action will benefit 56077 population in the targeted woredas of Fafan and Afder zones, of which 58% are IDPs.
According to the IOM-led Displacement Tracking Matrix round 5 (June 2017), open defecation is practiced by more than 80% of the IDP sites. In Qoloji IDP site there are only 96 toilets for an IDP population formally registered at 32,952 persons. As the available latrines in the targeted IDP site is not enough for the population living in the camp additional 10 blocks of latrines with hand washing facility will be built to improve personal and environmental hygiene condition. In addition, 10 institutional latrines (3 by educational and health facilities in Qoloji site, 2 in schools in the Babile host community and 5 in Gursum) will be constructed to mitigate vector borne diseases, ensure privacy and security of women and children, and give easy access for disabled and elderly.
To meet need for adequate and safe water supply in a sustainable manner, DRC will also install river water treatment system, which will involve pumping of raw water from Genale river to onion tanks and flocculating the raw water before treating it with calcium hypochlorite. The treated water will be linked to one IDP site through 8km pipe extension and also provide sustainable water supply for 01 and 02 kebeles of Dolobay Woreda. This is expected to provide long-term sustainable water to these drought-affected areas.
In addition, to promote good sanitation and hygiene practices and behaviors awareness raising activities will be done in all targeted woredas and IDP sites to reduce health risks and to foster resilient community. With community participation at the center, promotion activities will emphasize prevention of diarrhoea, proper hand washing, water treatment and water disposal among others. Promoting awareness on hygiene among community members, who are little informed about its importance, will be a key element of the intervention that will serve preventive and remedial to the spread of water related and water borne diseases like AWD.
Finally, WASH committees composed of men and women of all ages will be established and trained and will be encouraged to actively participate in groups so that they can voice the concerns and preferences of all men and women while implementing the WASH activities.
The proposed project has been developed in consultation with the relevant regional and woreda authorities, such as the Regional Water Bureau (RWB) and DPPB, as well as the National and regional WASH Clusters, and that these relevant duty-bearers and key stakeholders support this proposal. DRC’s proposed action will build upon long-term successful WASH interventions and presence from existing and previous emergency WASH.Danish Refugee CouncilDanish Refugee CouncilEthiopia Humanitarian FundJames CurtisCountry Director+251 (0) 915 330 556j.curtis@drcethiopia.orgAnna Catherine de LaineHead of Programme+251 (0) 966 935 731a.delaine@drcethiopia.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Water Sanitation Hygiene186380.61565878.48752259.09Ethiopia Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council601807.27Ethiopia Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council150130.38Ethiopia Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee CouncilEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6735United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsWater sanitation and hygiene promotion (WASH ) response in Gashamo and Daror woredas of Jarar Zone, Somali regionThe most recent round of assessments carried by IOM (International organization for migration) as part of the DTM (Displacement Tracking Matrix) in July 2017 showed that there are currently 456,801 drought and conflict affected IDPs (Internally displaced people) settled in 252 sites across the country. One of the most worrying statistics from this round of assessments was that 209 (84%) of the sites had no toilets of the remaining sites, only one site was able to achieve a coverage of 1 toilet for every 50 people. An integrated intervention is proposed in Daror and Gashamo woreda involving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) promotion interventions, which will be implemented to the most vulnerable women, men, boys and girls in order to enable families to meet basic needs. Save the Children has carefully assessed the needs of women, men, boys and girls and the proposed activities are gender and age sensitive and to ensure the needs of different groups are met.
To meet the immediate WASH needs of IDP families we will conduct water trucking activities at IDP sites, stabilization centers, and rehabilitate water schemes to ensure availability of water near community dwellings to prevent open defecation inside the IDP sites and ensure access to environmental health facilities we will construct emergency latrines with hand washing facilities to optimize use of WASH facilities provided and to increase hygiene awareness to improve the poor hygienic condition of the targeted communities we will conduct hygiene promotion campaigns, cleaning campaigns through hygiene volunteers and will distribute WASH NFI (None Food Item).
The program will target IDP sites and nutrition centers in Gashamo and Darror. Separate latrines will be designated for women and men, female specific hygiene items will be included to WASH NFIs, the items will be distributed to girls and women. Hygiene volunteers will be recruited and trained to deliver specific hygiene sessions for women and children to ensure their specific hygiene needs are met. Save the Children is closely coordinating with other actors on the ground, to avoid any overlap in the proposed target areas. We aim to reach 28,000 individuals (13720 F, 14280 M 3,430 girls and 3570 boys) through these activities for period of eight months.

This pushed the number of relief food beneficiaries to over 9.5 million people. For this reason, the most vulnerable Ethiopians will continue to need some form of humanitarian assistance in 2017. (EHF,2017,Second Standard Allocation)
The limited Kiremt and Belg rains reduced the recharge and storage of rain-fed shallow aquifers resulting in the depletion of and increased non functionality of hand dug wells, spring and ponds. The overall objective of this project is to save lives and reduce morbidity due to drought through provision of lifesaving emergency WASH interventions. The targeted project interventions include rehabilitation of damaged water schemes, upgrading of existing water systems, electromechanical maintenance, pipeline extension to institutions, construction of hand washing facility for health institutions, hygiene education for proper hygiene practicesto improve access to safe and adequate water to the community, health facilities and live-stock in 5 drought affected woredas of West Guji zone, Oromia Regional State. These Woredas are Dugda Dawa, Abaya, Bule Hora, Suro Barguda and Melka Soda.
As part of integration, this project seeks to address critically reported issues related to institutional WASH such as health facilities and schools. In the proposed project area there are 11 health centers that do not have access to safe water but have stabilization centers.

This response will focus on Emergency water trucking in health institutes, schools and water trucking for IDP kebeles of newly pastoralists drop-out , rehabilitating existing water points( deep- well) It will also focus on excrete, solid wastes management and disease factor control prevention based public education through Hygiene and sanitation sessions with provision of HHs water storage, sanitary and IEC materials. The project will also prioritize those most vulnerable groups - newly pastoralists drop-out IDPs, children, pregnant and lactating women (PLW) –in all stages of the project. In the hot spot woredas of Qohle and Godgod woredas WASH intervention will be carried as depicted below:
(1) Provision of 3,731.4 m3 for 60 days (155.475 trips of each 24m3 for 60 days) of emergency water trucking for most water shortage affected four communities in Qohle Woreda. ADRA uses Gode town water point as water source for water trucking and the project will focus to provide water trucking to the most four (4) Kebeles of qohle woreda located on road between Gode and hargelle (at top topography area) of (Dharaye, Muldato, Hardheer and Sidetale Kebeles ) and that are affected by water borne diseases and those communities have exhausted all existing community coping mechanisms and water trucking is the last possible option.
(2) Consistent to WASH Cluster comments and recommendations, ADRA has shifted the allocated budget for the rehabilitation of 4 HDWs and 3 Birkas in initial proposal to the suggested water infrastructures. Therefore, One (1) un-protected Hand Dug well with water discharge capacity of 100m3/day will be constructed and upgraded to a protected Deep Shallow Well (24m) and installed with solar installation pump. Adjacent and associated with this well will be One (1) water point, One (1) cattle trough, (1) Solar pump house and One (1) Pipes and fittings, to serve as a dependable future safe water source/point in times of drought for both Qohle and Godgod Woredas Instead of travelling to Bare Town Water Point at an over 120kms distance.
(3) Immediately after the project agreement, to minimize the water contamination risk, ADRA improve the collection and storage practices through provision and distribution of clean water storage facilities (fourteen (14) ROTO plastic water tankers of each 5000 liters) to the most affected four (4) communities in Qohle Woreda. ADRA will also train the Community Water Management Committees to manage the water infrastructure, distribute the trucked water.
(4) ADRA will establish 10 people in the established water infrastructure communities (7WMCs and 3 from community-based water management committee (WMCs), health and school representatives). ADRA will conduct training for each water facility constructed/ rehabilitated or procured
(5) To prevent and respond for current and future diseases outbreak including AWD outbreak and other water born disease factor control. ADRA will construct 14 new excreta/toilets with hand washes facility in (eight) schools and (four) health-care facilities to provide adequate, accessible, appropriate and safe toilets to local cultural and social norms and values of all age and user groups (for patients, staff and careers).
(6)To respond the current emergencies by delivering educational, trainings, public meetings and personal sanitation and hygiene promotion activities ADRA will distribute 49,752 bars of body and laundry soaps for two times to 12,438 water trucked beneficiaries . And also to quip with preparedness activities and distribute 30,000 IEC material in order to prevent future sanitation and hygiene related disease outbreaks.Adventist Development and Relief AgencyAdventist Development and Relief AgencyEthiopia Humanitarian FundDouglas KieltykaCountry Director+251-911508553douglaskieltyka@adraethiopia.orgZerihun AwanoProgram Director+251911508568zerihunawano@adraethiopia.orgSomali6.93277841 43.32988331Water Sanitation Hygiene259696.55370142.20629838.75Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAdventist Development and Relief Agency503871.00Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAdventist Development and Relief Agency125967.75Ethiopia Humanitarian FundAdventist Development and Relief Agency5620.73Adventist Development and Relief AgencyUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6761United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEmergency WaSH Response to Drought Affected IDPs and Host Community in Erer, Jarar, Doolo and Fafan Zones of Somali Region, EthiopiaThe Gu’ Assessment of June 2017, led by the Somali Regional Disaster Prevention and Preparedness Bureau (DPPB) and OCHA with support of humanitarian organizations, including NRC revealed that approximately 1,116,990 individuals in 403 Kebeles of 67 Woreda (21.1%) in all the 9 Zones of Somali Region are facing critical water shortages and are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. The dire situation faced by IDP and host communities is compounded by an outbreak of Acute Watery Diarrhoea (AWD) in the region, which has affected thousands of people in the Somali region. Urgent humanitarian intervention by government ministries, UN agencies, and operational NGOs, is required.
Following consultations with WaSH Cluster and the Somali Regional Government, NRC proposes to work in four of the most distant and severely drought affected hotspots: Erer, Jarar, Doolo and Fafan zones. In doing so, NRC plans to assist 104,015 drought affected Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and host community individuals (17,335 households). Considering the enormous responsibilities that women and girls face in collecting water and taking care of ill family members, NRC will make sure that the WaSH needs of women and children are at the centre of the response.
The project activities include:
Drilling and construction of shallow wells.
Construction and maintenance of water points.
Extension of water pipelines to institutions (Stabilisation Centres, Schools, CTCs, Health Centres).
Distribution and installation of Roto water tanks at institutions (Stabilisation centres).
Distribution, training and monitoring of water treatment methods at communal and household levels.
Distribution of environmental cleaning campaign tools / equipment (Wheel barrows, Rakes and Shovels).
Hygiene and sanitation campaigns.
Construction of institutional latrines (Stabilisation Centres, Schools, CTCs, Health Centres).
Construction of Institutional WASH facilities (hand washing and roof catchment at Stabilisation Centres and Schools).
School hygiene and sanitation (Child to Child, CHAST Sessions including Tea Talk with Teachers and School Children).
Distribution of water containers (20-litre jerry cans).
Distribution of latrine cleaning kits.
Distribution of all purpose soap bars.
Training of WASH Committees.
Post distribution monitoring and complaint response and feedback mechanism.
This project will address the urgent humanitarian needs of 71,600 vulnerable persons comprising the worst drought affected population in Errer, Jarar, Doolo and Fafan Zones in Somali Region, Ethiopia. The project will ensure the safety of water through active support and monitoring of water treatment at distribution points and households and providing the knowledge and tools for widespread safe handling of water as a line of defence against AWD. Although the remote IDP locations where NRC operates makes it difficult for daily monitoring, NRC intends to meet or exceed SPHERE minimum standards for safe and potable water per person per day.
NRC will implement the project with and through local partners, Pastoral Welfare Organization (PWO) in Errer Zone and Organization for Welfare and Development in Action (OWDA) in Jarar Zone where the two organizations have strong presence respectively. In the other two Zones, Doolo and Fafan, NRC will directly implement the proposed activities in those areas.

Currently HelpAge is responding to the Indian Ocean Dipole induced drought faced in Borena and east Showa Zones of Oromia Region. The response was focused on provision of food vouchers and cash transfers to households with vulnerable older people and people living with disabilities. With the failure of the bulg rainy season, the scale and magnitude of the impact of the drought continue to grow.
The proposed interventions aim to assist 14,342 households (approx. 71,710 beneficiaries, living in four woredas and 1 IDP camp of Borena zone. Of this 46,710 (24,277 female) are residing in host community of four woredas namely Guchi, Miyo, Dhas and Wachile and and 25,000 (14375 female) are residing in IDP camp of Guchi woreda.
the Bulg assessment in Borena Zone indicated that nearly 10% of the existing water sources in Borena zone are not functional. Due to this there is high pressure on the few functional schemes as both livestock and pastoralists water use water from these sources leaving other majority to use un protected sources. In addition all water sources and facilities are not friendly for the most vulnerable groups including Older persons, PwDs, Children and Women. The proposed WASH interventions, i.e. provision of water purification chemicals to ensure improved access to clean water and promotion of improved Hygiene and sanitation practices through community based awareness raising sessions at community level, will be implemented in all the targeted woredas and the IDP site creating awareness and prevent the rist of AWD. In addition, renovation of WASH facilities, i.e. latrine structures and construction/renovation of inclusive water point helps to ensure safe and easy access to clean water and use by vulnerable older people and persons living with disabilities and provision of NFI (bucket and Jerican) will be specifically implemented in the targeted IDP site addressing the vulnerable sections.
The project will be implemented over a 6-month period and will require USD 249,938.68 to achieve its objectives.

Many displaced South Sudanese have taken refuge in neighboring countries, including Ethiopia - close to 420,093 people (67% children 55% women) in 7 camps, in addition to over 32,972 people living with host communities as of 30th July 2017. The numbers have continued to grow on a daily basis.
UNHCR and ARRA opened a new camp in Nguenyyiel, Gambella in mid-October 2016 where currently 54,296 people (out of the 89,659 who arrived since September 2016) are sheltering (as of 30th July 2017). In Nguenyyiel, however, conditions already fail to meet accepted international standards. There is still no permanent water facility, with water being trucked in. People have access to just 10 l/p/d, below SPHERE and UNHCR guidelines, and thus are resorting to use of unsafe water, increasing risk of disease outbreak. No one has access to any form of bathing facility, compromising dignity and hygiene. Emergency health services and schools are functioning at bare minimum levels, again, without reliable water supply. The number of latrines available is not sufficient, and those present are filling quickly, resulting in widespread open defecation. While the refugees are striving to meet their basic needs, safety and protection issues are often left ignored.
Oxfam's strategy for Nguenyyiel camp is rooted on two core pillars: ensuring rights in crisis of the refugees, and saving life now and in the future. For this project Oxfam will implement sanitation and hygiene activities with protection features, as key cross-cutting themes. The intervention will focus on availability, quality and accessibility of WASH services. Through this project, Oxfam will construction 450 Shared Household latrines in Collapsible soils (Double Vault UDDTs), 120 Shared Household in normal soil (unlined simple pit latrines) and 30 accessible Family latrines. all latrines will be complemented with hand washing facilities. Moreover, Oxfam will distribute Latrine Cleaning Kits them to 600 HHs. A total of 1,200 households, or 6,000 individuals will benefit through this action.
The proposed intervention will reduce the risk of diseases and protection related issues, while addressing the issue of accessibility by targeting households where members include people living with disabilities.OXFAM GBOXFAM GBEthiopia Humanitarian FundZerihun EndaleGrants Specialist0913 240976zendale@oxfam.org.ukManish Kumar AgrawalOI Humanitarian Programme Coordinator 0923 77 5725 magrawal@oxfam.org.ukEmmanuel LuyaliProgramme Manager 0915566684eluyali@oxfam.org.uk Gambela7.68385036 34.33675424Water Sanitation Hygiene150000.15300000.31450000.46Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB360000.37Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GB12362.38Ethiopia Humanitarian FundOXFAM GBEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH/INGO/6820United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsResponding to the critical needs of south Sudanese refugee in Assosa region, Ethiopia, through emergency water interventionAccording to UNHCR, Ethiopia hosts 843,742 refugees as of 30 June 2017 . South Sudanese refugees form the largest refugee population group and are accommodated in existing as well as new refugee camps located in Gambella and Benishangul-Gumuz (Assosa) Regions. Most of the South Sudanese refugees arrived after the outbreak of violence in South Sudan at the end of 2013 and in September 2016. Specifically, renewed intensification of fighting in South Sudan since June 2017 has brought approximately 2,502 new refugees per month, with an average of 4,046 new refugees per day. As of 31st August 2017, Ethiopia hosted 388,086 South Sudanese refugees and asylum-seekers in Ethiopia (combined Gambella and Assosa camps), including 44,438 new arrivals that originate mostly from Upper Nile, Jonglei and Unity states (majority of women and children) since 1st January 2017 (UNHCR Ethiopia Update 31 Aug 2017). More arrivals are is anticipated in Gambella and Assosa as violence continues to limit humanitarian access across South Sudan and prompts South Sudanese to flee to neighboring countries. (South Sudan-Crisis, USAID Fact Sheet #9, FY 2017 July 10, 2017).
Benishangul-Gumuz (Assosa) Region is home to one of the oldest refugee camp hosting refugees from Sudan and other countries still in operation, Sherkole, which was opened in early1990’s. Consequently, three additional camps were established in different locations around Assosa: Bambassi, Tongo and Tsore camps. In response to the increasing number of south Sudanese refugees arriving (16,274 arrived in March 2017), UNHCR and ARRA have established one more additional new camp, called Gure Shembolla camp, which is located along the Assosa Tongo road. The IRC has been active in Benishangul-Gumuz Region since 2002, when it began implementing water supply improvement interventions for Sudanese refugees in Sherkole Camp, and then has taken on the full WASH mandate in Sherkole, Tsore and Tongo camps as well as in the newly established Gure Shembola Camp. The IRC has responded to WASH needs in Gure Shembola through a variety of activities, including the installation amp operation of emergency water treatment plant, semi-permanent distribution system and sanitation facilities for the refugees, as well as hygiene promotion activities implemented through community health clubs, house to house sensitization, sanitation campaigns, solid waste management, etc.
This project aims to address the safe water supply increasing needs in Gure Shembola camp through improving the capacity of the existing water supply distribution system in Gure-Shembola expand to new areas to meet both refugee and host community needs and upgrade the system with more durable and permanent structures. The current water system was design as a temporary solution during the initial phase as an emergency response. As the camp settles into a more permanent site, the water system structure also has to adapt to meet higher demands.

As a result of these successive droughts, the groundwater water level has been declining significantly while at the same time the non-functionality of water supply systems has been increasing due to over utilization of schemes. In addition to and as consequence of the drought and the resulting water shortage, AWD cases have been reported in many regions, particularly in the Somali Region. During the ongoing rainy season, AWD cases are expected to increase in Amhara, Tigray and Oromia regions. This will significantly increase the risks of mortality and morbidity from malnutrition and water- and vector-borne diseases among the affected people, especially children and women.
To minimize the negative effects of the looming public health risk, the proposed project aims to support the Government in its efforts to respond to the emergency through the provision of various household water treatment chemicals, water storage tanks, and NFIs to drought and AWD affected regions with particular focus to Amhara, Oromia and Somali regions.United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundEthiopia Humanitarian FundSamuel GodfreyChief WASH section+251911254017sgodfrey@unicef.orgJorge Alvarez-SalaWASH Specialist+251929500387jalvarezsala@unicef.orgMona Mohamed AhmedDonor Relationship Specialist +251 11 518 4241mmohamedahmed@unicef.orgAfar12.03644506 40.77273541Amhara11.56495248 38.04353615Oromia7.50798643 38.76521270SNNPR6.46580872 36.80646946Somali6.93277841 43.32988331Tigray13.77711474 38.43867332Water Sanitation Hygiene1571828.531361171.102932999.63Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund2932999.63Ethiopia Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund69553.78United Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsEthiopia BI 2017XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-17/DDA-3379/ETH-17/DDA-3379/WASH-H/INGO/6773United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsAWD response and prevention in East Harerghie zone in Oromia region, Fafan and Errer Zones of Somali Region and South Gondar of Amhara RegionThis project is to respond to the ongoing epidemic of acute watery diarrhea (AWD) in Fafan and Errer Zones in Somali Region and the South Gonder Zone in Amhara Region and East Hararghe of Oromia region.
