The humanitarian crisis continues to worsen across Somalia. As of July 2022, a severe drought, which has persisted since the mid-last year, affects large parts of Somalia and is likely to worsen in the coming months following a fourth consecutive below-average rainfall season, pushing thousands of families into displacement. As of 3rd July 2022, nearly half of the population – 7.7 million people – require humanitarian or protection assistance, of whom 7 million have been impacted by the drought, with over 900,000 displaced from their homes in search of water, food, and pasture including minority groups. Livelihoods have been devastated, and hundreds of thousands of people face catastrophic hunger and starvation (OCHA Report). The impact of the drought and increasing economic pressures are deepening the severity of needs and driving Somalia to the brink of famine. Southwest State, particularly Bakool Region, is now facing the negative impact of droughts, including an influx of displaced, vulnerable people, such as lactating women, older people, and girls, to GBV/FGM, on sexual violence are increasing day by day, inadequate services as well as, integrated community referrals, of abuse, neglect, violence, and severe distress have access to well-coordinated and disability, gender-sensitive quality child protection services, exercise and housing, land, and property (HLP) rights and the response of conducting due diligence of IDPs, stakeholder engagement to relevant institutions and facilitation, of accessing land tenure documents.

Objectives

The proposed integrated intervention will scale up access to quality CCCM, HLP, CP, GBV, and Shelter/NFIs services in Kaxda and Deynille. NoFYL will implement a multi-cluster intervention around CCCM and HLP. This project will fill existing gaps in ESNFI, CCCM, HLP, GBV, and Child protection support and complement activities undertaken under other ongoing projects. On CCCM NoFYL aims at strengthening coordination structures through training, improving the coordination of service providers, service monitoring and mapping to identify gaps, community-led site maintenance activities to ensure the upkeep of sites, support governance structures to ensure community participation and self-management of sites and information management at a site level, site improvement activities to minimize protection risks and ensure safety in sites and safety audits to identify site risks. Scale-up inter-sector CFMs and conduct site decongestion activities to minimize protection risks at target sites. On HLP, intervention NoFYL will undertake eviction risk assessments and monitoring of threats to evictions by assessing potential eviction sites to inform the response. Provision of case management services, legal counseling around land tenure documentation, provision of post-eviction cash-based response packages, and coordinating referrals to other complementary services. ESNFI intervention will be complemented by Shelter partners by improving the IDPs living conditions through the distribution of emergency NFI kits and emergency shelter kits. Any cases that are identified by NoFYL monitors with Shelter needs will be referred to Shelter partners for support. Child Protection (CP) case management will be spearheaded by SWDC, identified children at risk or traumatized children will be referred for support, an incident of family separation will be reported to SWDC for tracing and reunification purposes. Joint safety walks and mapping will be conducted to identify risks for children. Referrals networks will be strengthened and coordinated for safer and timely responses. NoFYL will implement these activities in sites in Deynille (10) and Kaxda (5). 6,112 households, approximately 36,675 (10,368 men, 14760 women, 5,227, boys, 6320 girls) will benefit from this intervention, as well as the whole community working in these sites including local authorities, clusters, and other organizations. The multi-sectoral approach will be useful to create synergies enabling the concentration of services and expertise within the same location and the same population leading to achieving a greater impact. The four partners (NoFYL, SSWC, and SWDC) will build on each other strengths and better complement each other to ensure community acceptance and success in implementation. The synergy between the 3 sectoral partners will ensure sound management of the program, greater impact, efficiency, and more cost-effective operations. The project target sites include the following Deynille District Sites - Center Midnimo (301HHs), Center Al Cadaala (370HHs), Center Cosob (296HHs), Center Mideeye (453HHs), Center Qanciye (547HHs), Center Hadii La Yaabo Yaasinka (410HHs), Center Iskaashi 2(377HHs), Center Dahraan (450HHs), Center Doco Waalid (513HHs), and Center Dhibane (682HHs) Kaxda District Sites - Center Sanaag (563HHs), Center Miisaan (576HHs), Center Gargaar(376HHs), Center Shaafi (451HHs), and Center Xurmo (434HHs)
