INSO has been operating in Somalia since 2015. The underlying principle in INSO’s theory of change is that better and more accurate security information leads to better decisions. IF NGOs working in Somalia assisting conflict and disaster-affected populations have access to INSO safety and security services, THEN they would be able to have enhanced access to the vulnerable population BECAUSE NGOs will have better information on which to base decisions at tactical, operational, and strategic levels while delivering assistance. ltbrgtINSO runs a single project that is co-funded by 5 donors (including SHF) and all donors contribute to the realization of the project’s objectives and attainment of deliverables. INSO was impacted by the USAID/BHA funding cuts, with a cessation of program directive received in February 2025, effectively terminating an ongoing  24-month $1.9 million grant (August 2024 to July 2026). Sustained and increased support from existing donors is essential to maintaining core INSO services for the NGO community in Somalia. ltbrgtGiven the evolving security environment and the emerging uncertainties related to the AUSSOM transition, resurgent AS and a major political transition that is testing a fragile political pact, the Somalia operating context is getting even more complex, with varying layers of protracted armed conflict and acute/emerging contestation between multiple actors. NGOs face strong challenges related to access and security, including inadequate capacity to understand the dynamic context, difficulty in accessing and verifying information, lack of information sharing, lack of security coordination and harmonized security practices, poor security awareness of staff, and lack of training opportunities. ltbrgtTo address the needs/gaps mentioned above, INSO’s services comprising a Conflict and Humanitarian Data Centre (CHDC)—a secure cloud-based database containing all security incidents occurring in Somalia with integrated visualization and GIS tools—flash alert reporting, scheduled analytical reporting and briefings, field-based NGO security roundtables, individual security advisories, training, and crisis management assistance — play an important role in establishing a baseline of credible information, delivering usable analysis on which to base programming and risk management decisions, and furnishing the skills and tools required to navigate the environment and deliver aid safely. This in turn promotes NGOs’ delivery of services to their beneficiaries and the fulfilment of their projects and programs. With the new funding cycle, INSO will continue its field presence and ensure greater responsiveness to NGO needs at a time where funding cuts and an evolving context continue to complicate access, and reduce NGO capacities. INSO’s activities currently benefit 177 NGOs, 7 UN agencies, and 6 Humanitarian Donor Agencies..

Baidoa remains among Somalia’s most crisis-affected districts, hosting large IDP populations, marginalized ethnic minorities, and persons with disabilities facing persistent barriers to life-saving health services. The scale-down and closure of health facilities have significantly reduced access to preventive and curative care, increasing risks of maternal and child morbidity and mortality. The proposed project will provide integrated primary health care to 46,688 (23,344 W, 10,296 G, 4,120 M and 8,928 B) through three health centers (Tier 2 facility under the EPHS) namely Salbuuy, Boonkey and Meegaagle, linked with outreach services 2-3 days per week and complemented by iCCM in access constrained locations. Services will align with EPHS, WHO, and MoH protocols and include OPD consultations, routine immunization, ANC/PNC, skilled deliveries, BEmONC referrals, communicable disease management, MHPSS, and emergency referrals to secondary care. While ACF will directly implement the project due to its technical complexity and strong operational presence in Baidoa, the action advances localization through recruitment of qualified local health staff, collaboration with CHWs, and system-level integration with national health structures. Capacity strengthening will be delivered through on-the-job mentoring, refresher trainings, and supportive supervision. CHWs drawn from target communities, including marginalized groups, will support iCCM, health education, immunization follow-up, defaulter tracing, and referrals. Accountability to Affected Populations is ensured through ACF’s toll-free 3-digit hotline, multilingual IEC materials, and community consultations. Client satisfaction surveys, focus group discussions, and community review meetings will inform adaptive management. Community engagement under this project will apply a community-first approach to health service delivery, positioning communities as active partners in improving access to care. Building on Action Against Hunger’s Humanitarian Access Initiative (HAI) learning, we will first understand local health-seeking behaviours, trusted health actors, community coordination practices, and how communities gain access to services in constrained rural settings. Facilitated community dialogue will inform health priorities, identify barriers to care, and ensure inclusion of women, minority clans, youth, persons with disabilities, IDPs, and other excluded groups. For outreach health service delivery, communities will directly shape outreach by identifying priority populations, safe and acceptable service points, and co-planning outreach schedules aligned with local movement patterns, seasonality, and security dynamics. In outbreak-prone areas, CHWs will support early detection, referrals, and community-led risk reduction. 3% of the budget supports disability inclusion, and collaboration with the Alla Magan Southwest Association of the Disabled. ACF will coordinate closely with MoH, clusters, and RA partners to ensure intersectoral convergence (See comments under location tab). Strong risk mitigation, supply chain systems, safeguarding measures, and joint monitoring with authorities will ensure quality and continuity. The project will complement ACF’s ongoing support in the district by building on existing referral pathways established under the Damal Caafimaad and Caafimaad Plus programs, particularly for the referral of complicated cases to secondary-level health facilities. Through this action, ACF aims to reduce preventable maternal and child deaths, mitigate protection risks, and uphold dignity and equitable access to health services for the most vulnerable populations in Baidoa District.ltbrgtlt/pgtAction Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimSomalia Humanitarian FundHealth600000.00600000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim480000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAction Contre la FaimXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-INGO-38703United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtSomalia is facing a severe humanitarian crisis driven by prolonged drought, consecutive poor rainy seasons, and major funding shortfalls. The post-Gu 2025 FSNAU analysis and recent PAC assessment confirm that, despite localized rainfall in parts of southern Somalia, overall precipitation remained below average, resulting in water scarcity, reduced agricultural production, declining river levels, and weakened livestock productivity. These shocks have severely eroded household coping capacity, particularly among children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and poor agropastoral households.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtAs a result, acute food insecurity is projected to rise from 3.4 million people in September to 4.4 million between October and December 2025. The cumulative effects of a severely dry Xagaa season, forecasted poor Deyr rains, and the approaching Jilaal dry season are expected to further worsen conditions, increasing the risk of IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and localized IPC Phase 5 (Famine) outcomes. Vulnerability is escalating rapidly in riverine and agropastoral areas, urban IDP settlements, and pastoral zones.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe drought has intensified water shortages as traditional water sources dry up or become contaminated, and boreholes become non-functional due to overuse and poor maintenance. Reliance on costly water trucking has increased, alongside disease outbreaks and livestock losses. Women and girls face disproportionate burdens and protection risks while accessing water.ltbrgtSimultaneously, funding cuts have forced the closure or scale-down of essential health and nutrition services, disrupting access to therapeutic feeding, micronutrient supplementation, and maternal health care. An estimated 1.85 million children under five are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition in the coming year, with preventive nutrition supplies for children and pregnant and lactating women expected to be depleted by the end of November. These disruptions are likely to increase malnutrition caseloads and mortality, particularly in areas with critical GAM rates (gt15%).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn Afgoye District, Lower Shabelle, food security and nutrition outcomes continue to deteriorate due to reduced Shabelle River flow, poor off-season harvests, high population density, and the presence of vulnerable host communities and IDPs.

Following the failure of the Gu and Deyr rainy seasons, the Somali government declared a drought emergency on 10 November 2025, calling for urgent life-saving assistance. Bay Region, particularly Baydhaba district, has been among the most severely affected areas, hosting the highest number of people in need of WASH assistance, with 406,711 people in need identified (HNRP 2025). Despite the needs, only 20.6% of WASH requirements under the HNRP 2025 are currently funded, leaving critical gaps in life-saving services.ltbrgtIn this context, this six-month intervention aims to provide life-saving assistance and inclusive access to safe water for drought-affected and hard-to-reach rural communities in three villages in Baydhaba district. The intervention will ensure immediate access to safe drinking water (Output 1), support the construction and rehabilitation of sustainable water infrastructures (Output 2), and strengthen community capacities for long-term management and water quality assurance (Output 3). A total of 15,000 individuals (2,500 households - HHs) will benefit, including 3,900 women, 3,450 men, 3,900 boys, and 3,750 girls. In close coordination with local authorities, ABC partners, and the WASH Cluster, Acted pre-selected Salbuy, Ashagow and Awdiinle villages based on severity of needs and gaps in assistance. ltbrgtFirstly, Acted will deliver emergency drinking water through time-bound water trucking in Salbuy village, where communities have no access to water (A 1.1.2). This life-saving assistance will address immediate needs while rehabilitation of the local water system is underway (A 1.2.2). The 500 most vulnerable HHs will be selected using the Vulnerability-Based Targeting approach through the SRF tool. Prior to distribution, Village Relief Committees will be established, ensuring the participation of women and vulnerable groups (A 1.1.1). Members will be trained to oversee fair and safe water distribution, support beneficiary selection, mobilize communities, and strengthen accountability throughout the intervention.ltbrgtSecondly, to ensure sustainable access to sufficient, and safe drinking water, Acted will rehabilitate two water points (A 1.2.2) and construct one new borehole (A 1.2.4). Works will include the installation of pumping systems, solar power systems, pipelines, water storage tanks, and accessible water kiosks. Prior to the works, a comprehensive inclusivity assessment will be conducted (A 1.2.1) and a hydrogeological and geophysical study will be conducted prior to drilling a new borehole in Awdiinle (A 1.2.3). Environmental and social risks will be assessed, and mitigation measures integrated into implementation. Construction and rehabilitation works will be carried out by contractors selected through bidding process, with Acted’s technical team overseeing design, quality assurance, and standard compliance. Post-construction monitoring will ensure infrastructures meet community needs.ltbrgtFinally, to promote sustainability, Acted will strengthen community-based water management systems. Water Management Committees will be established or revitalized and trained in operation and maintenance, water quality monitoring, and cost-recovery mechanisms (A 1.3.1). Operational toolkits will be provided to support day-to-day management (A 1.3.2). Particular attention will be given to inclusive representation, ensuring participation of women, minorities, and other vulnerable groups.ltbrgtThe project is designed following the Sphere standards, cluster guidelines, ensuring the inclusion of the most vulnerable groups.

Most households are displaced families living in overcrowded shelters with limited resources. Eighty nine percent lacked soap, only 46% practiced handwashing at critical times, and more than half reported insufficient water, with 86% paying high costs. Seventy one percent had no latrines, 20% practiced open defecation, and 98% lacked waste disposal sites, resorting to unsafe methods. These conditions expose communities especially women and children to heightened risks of AWD, cholera, and protection concerns.ltbrgtTo respond to these urgent needs, Polish Humanitarian Action (PAH) proposes an 8-month standalone WASH intervention that will reach approximately 13,476 individuals (2,695Men, 3639 women, 3099 boys and 4043 girls) as well as people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups in 6 IDP camps and 5 rural villages in Afgooye District. The intervention will also strengthen collaboration with other sectors, including Health, Nutrition, and Food Security partners selected under the reserved allocation. The project will deliver lifesaving and sustainable WASH activities, prioritized as immediate needs. These activities are aligned with Reserve Allocation priorities and will comprise the following:ltbrgt Restoring safe water access: PAH will provide emergency water to vulnerable IDPs through Water trucking, public/private borehole engagement, rehabilitation of water supply (2 shallow wells and 1 boreholes) through desilting and installation of solar panels and a submersible pump, plus construction of a new elevated 20MC storage tank and caretaker rooms. To ensure quality and sustainability, all works will follow the Somalia WASH Toolkit and UNICEF Somalia WASH Road Map 2020-2025, covering design, construction, operation, and maintenance standards. Chlorination, water quality monitoring, and household level chlorination will be conducted regularly to safeguard public health. Gender balanced water management committees will be established and trained to oversee daily functionality, preventive maintenance, and long-term sustainability.ltbrgt Expanding emergency sanitation: The project will construct 65 flood resistant communal latrines, with at least 15% adapted for people with disabilities (10 units). Portable solar lights will be provided to reduce GBV risks, particularly for women and girls at night. PAH will pilot household kettles as a practical and sustainable handwashing solution. Sitting and design will be informed by protection assessments and community consultations, with sanitation materials distributed for ongoing maintenance.ltbrgt Promoting inclusive hygiene and risk communication: PAH will deploy 11 trained hygiene promoters and 4 community mobilizers to conduct structured door to door visits and community dialogues. Messaging will emphasize hand hygiene, latrine care, safe water handling, menstrual hygiene management (MHM), and PSEA awareness, using Somalia WASH Cluster approved materials. Sanitation tools will be distributed, two waste disposal pits excavated, and quarterly cleaning campaigns conducted.ltbrgtTo ensure accountability and learning, Post Distribution Monitoring (PDM) for hygiene kits(1000HH) will be conducted alongside regular project monitoring. The project will establish and publicize functional complaint and feedback mechanisms (CFMs), conduct inclusive beneficiary targeting through community structures, and involve women, persons with disabilities, and minority group leaders in project design, monitoring, and delivery.

The project will prioritize the most vulnerable households, including 15% persons with disabilities and marginalized groups, who face heightened risks due to the prolonged drought and loss of productive assets. Following successive below-average rainfall seasons and poor livestock conditions, most households in northern Somalia are experiencing IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) or Phase 4 (Emergency) food insecurity. To address this, KAALO proposes to provide unconditional cash transfers of USD 65 per household per month for four months. This assistance is designed to cover approximately 70% of the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB), enabling targeted households to access essential food and basic needs through local markets. In addition to cash transfers, the project will support 370 vulnerable pastoral households with emergency livestock inputs such as supplementary feed and water trucking, aimed at protecting core breeding animals and restoring minimal productive capacity. These combined interventions are expected to stabilize household food consumption, reduce negative coping mechanisms, and prevent further livelihood erosion in drought-affected communities. Implementation will be carried out directly by KAALO through an inclusive community-based targeting (ICBT) process, ensuring transparent selection in coordination with village committees and local authorities. Beneficiary registration, mobile money transfer arrangements, and regular disbursements will follow standardized SHF accountability and monitoring procedures. A post-distribution monitoring (PDM) exercise will be conducted to assess beneficiary satisfaction, efficiency of delivery mechanisms, and the project’s impact on food security outcomes. KAALO will coordinate closely with humanitarian partners and local authorities in Puntland to prevent overlap, ensure complementarity with ongoing responses, and enhance resilience among drought-affected pastoral populations.

Prolonged drought across Puntland has displaced thousands of families into peri-urban and rural settlements, heightening exposure to sexual violence, intimate partner violence (IPV), family separation, early marriage, neglect, and exploitation. The project responds directly to the 2025 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) and the Somalia SHF Reserve Allocation Strategy – Drought in the North (2025), both prioritising protection for populations in high-risk drought-affected areas.ltbrgtAMARD will provide specialised, survivor-centred case management for children at risk, unaccompanied and separated children (UASC), and survivors of GBV, including IPV and sexual violence. Activities will include Family Tracing and Reunification (FTR), alternative care arrangements, Psychological First Aid (PFA), and structured psychosocial support (PSS) delivered by trained case workers through fixed and mobile teams. GBV services will focus on confidential case management, dissemination of updated referral pathways, and training and mentoring of 20 midwives, nurses, and allied responders on Clinical Management of Rape (CMR) and IPV treatment in accordance with national protocols.ltbrgtTo reduce financial barriers that limit survivor access to care, AMARD will integrate sector-specific unconditional cash assistance into GBV case management, following the Somalia Inter-Agency Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) Guidelines (2025) and UNFPA/GBV AoR Cash in GBV Case Management SOPs (2025). Each eligible survivor will receive a one-off grant of USD 40 to cover urgent protection-related needs such as transport to health facilities, temporary shelter, medical or legal fees, or dignity items. Dignity and survivor-support kits will also be distributed to promote hygiene, safety, and dignity for women and girls.ltbrgtComplementary community mobilisation and awareness sessions will reach approximately 3,000 people, tackling stigma, harmful norms, and misinformation on GBV and CP, while increasing understanding of available referral pathways and reporting channels. Messaging will integrate Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE), and Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) principles. AMARD’s toll-free hotline (2245) will remain accessible for confidential feedback, complaints, and referrals.ltbrgtThe project will directly assist about 9,000 individuals—including 5,200 children and caregivers through CP services and 3,800 women and girls through GBV activities—and indirectly benefit roughly 9,000 additional community members through improved awareness, service coordination, and strengthened local capacities. Implementation will be closely coordinated with the Protection Cluster, GBV and CP Areas of Responsibility (AoRs), and local authorities under the Bossaso Area-Based Coordination (ABC) framework to ensure complementarity with ongoing humanitarian actions.ltbrgtOver a six-month period (December 2025 – May 2026), the project will strengthen safety, dignity, and psychosocial resilience among drought-affected populations, while reinforcing community-based prevention, referral, and accountability mechanisms that uphold the Centrality of Protection, AAP, PSEA, and Data Protection and Information-Sharing Protocol (2025) standards.lt/pgtAgency for Minority Rights and DevelopmentAgency for Minority Rights and DevelopmentSomalia Humanitarian FundProtectionProtection80000.00320000.00400000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAgency for Minority Rights and Development320000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAgency for Minority Rights and Development80000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAgency for Minority Rights and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38175United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtPuntland Minority Women Development Organization (PMWDO) proposes to implement WASH interventions in Bosaso District, Puntland, as part of a life-saving emergency response aligned with the 2025 Somalia Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) and the OCHA SHF Drought Allocation Strategy for Northern Somalia.

Protracted dryness, fragile groundwater systems, and underfunded operations leave households facing long collection distances, intermittent production, and costly trucked water. The project pursues one objective to ensure that communities affected by the crisis in Zeylac district have increased access to safe, equitable, inclusive, and quality lifesaving WASH services appropriate and relevant to their immediate needs. The project target villages include Zeylac town, Fadh Xun, Sheikh Awaree and Daba Dilaac for a duration of 7 months and reaching 8,760 direct beneficiaries and 1,228 indirect beneficiaries.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project focuses on public water systems including rehabilitating one borehole (Zeylac town) and three shallow wells in Fadh Xun village (10.291242, 43.295976) also known as Habaas village in the locations tab, Sheikh Awaree village (10.444226, 43.048879) and Daba Dilaac village (10.385105, 43.256576), also known as Geelka Goojis village in the locations tab. Generally, the rehabilitation will include pipeline extensions to bring water closer to households, schools and health facilities. Other works will include installing or repairing solar pumping, restoring or constructing new storage tanks, and fixing leaks as describe further in the BoQs attached.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTo ensure sustainability, the project strengthens local operation and maintenance (OM). Water user committees will be formed or refreshed and trained through a practical course covering OM planning, preventive maintenance, safety, and basic water-quality checks. Each committee will receive simple toolkits and checklists.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project further seeks to reduce waterborne disease risks through water treatment at source and households. Eight community hygiene promoters (two per village, at least one woman per pair) will be recruited, trained, and deployed to conduct door-to-door demonstrations on correct tablet dosage, safe transport and storage. Priority will be given to vulnerable and low-income households. A light post-distribution monitoring check after the first round of tablets will verify correct use and inform course corrections.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtProtection, gender equality, disability inclusion, and accountability are mainstreamed. Water points proposed for rehabilitation aim to take water closer to the people thus reducing distances travelled and time taken to collect water. All the water facilities will be designed to ensure inclusivity for persons with disabilities, older persons, and caregivers. Women will hold decision-making roles in water user committees and be part of the hygiene promoters. Multiple feedback and complaints channels (including a toll-free line and scheduled community meetings) will be made available. All SEA/SH concerns will follow confidential, survivor-centered pathways separate from routine feedback.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtImplementation will be coordinated with district authorities, WASH and other Clusters at the national level to prevent duplication and align work plans while at the community level Candlelight will coordinate with other humanitarian agencies implementing projects in other sectors such as protection.

Prolonged dry spells have reduced food availability, livestock productivity, and access to safe water, resulting in increased food insecurity and malnutrition—especially among children under five, pregnant and lactating women, persons with disabilities, and female-headed households. Many families have resorted to negative coping strategies such as distress livestock sales, reduced meal frequency, and migration in search of water and pasture.ltbrgtTo address these needs, the project will implement an integrated “Cash-Plus” emergency response, combining unconditional cash transfers, livestock protection support, emergency water trucking, and community awareness activities. This approach will meet immediate basic needs while protecting essential livelihood assets.ltbrgtProject Componentsltbrgt1. Unconditional Cash Transfers (MPCA)ltbrgt1,800 vulnerable households (approx. 10800 individuals) across 10 drought-affected villages will receive USD 55 per month for three months (Jan 2025–March 2026). The transfer value aligns with the Somalia CWG 2025 CEB Standard (70% of MEB). 2. Livelihood Protection (Livestock Support)ltbrgtEach livestock-keeping household will receive two rounds of 80 kg of quality fodder valued at USD 60 per household for February–March 2026. This support will help maintain livestock body condition, protect core breeding animals, and reduce distress sales. After distribution, 3. Community Awareness and Capacity BuildingltbrgtQuarterly community sessions will promote gender inclusion, social cohesion, and equitable access. Activities will focus on encouraging women’s participation in decision-making and strengthening community support networks among drought-affected groups.ltbrgt4. Emergency Water truckingltbrgtTo address critical water shortages, the project will provide water trucking of 200 water trucker January and 200 trucker February emergency water trucking to the 10 target villages. Water delivery will follow SPHERE standards (30 liters per person per day), with prioritization for women-headed households, ltbrgt2. Strengthening Gender Equality, Inclusion, and Social CohesionltbrgtThe project adheres to ASAL Youth Development Association’s Safe Programming and Protection standards. Women, youth, minority groups, and persons with disabilities will actively participate in consultations, needs verification, and targeting.

FAO/SWALIM indicates that an estimated 2.5 million people across 26 districts in Puntland and Somaliland have been moderately or severely impacted. By August, a total of 887,000 people were residing in areas classified as severely affected by drought across 16 districts, based on the relatively higher proportion of their populations living in the severely affected zones. An additional 1.6 million people were living in moderately affected areas, spanning 26 districts. The most recent Climate Update from SWALIM climate update released on 14 October pointed to below-normal rainfall and above-normal temperatures across most of Somalia with continuing dry conditions in northern regions.ltbrgt In response to the drought, both the Puntland and Somaliland authorities have already begun response activities with support from humanitarian partners. These efforts however fall far short of satisfactorily addressing the most critical needs in food security, nutrition, health and water and sanitation among the worst affected communities. The gravity of the funding cuts has also stretched available resources across Somalia as demonstrated by reports of the closure of crucial health and nutrition facilities and programmes, cuts in food assistance allocations and reduced human resource capacity.ltbrgtZeylac District, located in the westernmost part of the Awdal Region of Somaliland, is home to predominantly pastoralist communities whose livelihoods depend heavily on livestock production and seasonal rainfall. In recent years, the region has experienced increasingly erratic weather patterns, culminating in a prolonged and severe drought that has devastated local ecosystems and household economies.ltbrgtAccording to recent humanitarian assessments, Awdal Region is among the areas most severely affected by drought in northern Somalia, with Zeylac and neighboring Lughaya districts facing acute water shortages, pasture depletion, and widespread livestock mortality. The Somaliland government, National Disaster Food Reserve Agency (NADFOR) and the Humanitarian agencies have flagged the situation as critical, prompting urgent calls for humanitarian intervention.ltbrgtThe drought has led to:ltbrgt Significant loss of livestock, particularly among smallholder pastoralistsltbrgt Sharp declines in household income and food accessltbrgt Increased displacement, as families migrate in search of water and pastureltbrgt Rising malnutrition rates, especially among children and pregnant womenltbrgtTraditional coping mechanisms—such as selling livestock, borrowing food, or migrating—have been exhausted, leaving many households on the brink of destitution. ltbrgtTo address these urgent needs, this project proposes a three-month emergency cash-based response that combines:ltbrgt Unconditional cash transfers (UCT) to meet immediate food needsltbrgt Cash Plus support (UCT + emergency livestock inputs) to sustain animal health lp ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe targeting process combines community-based nomination and vulnerability scoring to ensure transparent, inclusive, and SHF/FSC compliant beneficiary selection. In Zeylac District, Village Relief Committees (VRCs) identified households most affected by drought and displacement, while project staff validated these lists using objective vulnerability criteria. The majority of targeted households are drought affected pastoralists who have lost significant livestock assets, with high dependency ratios and limited coping capacity. Approximately one quarter of beneficiaries are IDPs or returnees, reflecting displacement dynamics in the district. Women, elderly, persons with disabilities, and minority clans are prioritized to prevent exclusion and strengthen protection mainstreaming. This hybrid approach ensures that assistance reaches households most at risk of food insecurity while reinforcing community ownership, accountability, and donor compliance.ltbrgtlt/pgtAfrica Youth Development AssociationAfrica Youth Development AssociationSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security5687.20194312.79199999.99Somalia Humanitarian FundAfrica Youth Development Association159999.99Somalia Humanitarian FundAfrica Youth Development Association40000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAfrica Youth Development AssociationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38636United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtXudur and Tayeeglow districts in Bakool Region, South Central Somalia, are among the areas most severely affected by recurrent drought, protracted conflict, displacement, and chronic underinvestment in basic social services. The convergence of these shocks has critically undermined household coping capacities, especially in rural and hard-to-reach villages, driving sharp deterioration in health and nutrition indicators. Five consecutive failed or underperforming rainy seasons (2020-2025) have triggered catastrophic livestock mortality (40-60%), near-total crop failure (87% reduction), and massive internal displacement (85,000 IDPs in Xudur, 42,000 in Tayeeglow). The FSNAU post-Gu nutrition assessment (September 2025) documented critical levels of acute malnutrition: Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates of 18.2% in Xudur and 19.7% in Tayeeglow, both far exceeding the WHO emergency threshold of 15%. Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) prevalence stands at 3.8% in Xudur and 4.2% in Tayeeglow. Under-five crude mortality rates have reached 1.2 deaths/10,000/day, exceeding emergency thresholds. The October 2025 IPC analysis classified 67% of the population in both districts as facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse acute food insecurity, with 18,000 people in Xudur and 12,000 in Tayeeglow in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). Nationally, food insecurity is projected to affect 4.4 million Somalis between October 2025 and March 2026.  The existing health system has collapsed under crisis pressure. In Xudur, only one district hospital (Sheikh Aweys) and five primary health centers are partially functional, operating at less than 30% of MoH-recommended capacity. In Tayeeglow, only the Stabilization Center and one health post remain operational.

The project's core intervention consists of unconditional cash transfers (UCT) of $55 per household per month for three consecutive months, totaling $132,000 in direct cash assistance. This transfer value represents approximately 70% of the minimum food expenditure basket, calculated based on local market assessments conducted by the Food Security Cluster for Southwest State. The cash enables families to purchase essential food items, including staple foods, pulses, vegetables, and animal products from local markets, preventing further deterioration in nutritional status while simultaneously supporting local market economies. ltbrgtltbgtWHERE: Geographic Focus and Contextlt/bgtltbrgtThe project targets eight severely drought-affected rural villages in Xudur District, Bakol Region, Southwest State, Somalia: Gomorey, Weeroe, Tuboy, Shidle (Shiidle), Daryeel, Gaabaney, Cusbo Eelo, and Banjinaya. These remote pastoral and agropastoral communities have experienced devastating livestock losses, depleted household assets, and collapsed traditional livelihoods due to consecutive failed rainy seasons. Current assessments reveal alarming humanitarian indicators: approximately 60% of households are experiencing moderate to severe food insecurity (IPC Phase 3-4), 18% of children under five years of age suffer from acute malnutrition, and access to safe drinking water has become increasingly scarce as water points dry up. ltbrgtltbgtWHEN: Project Timeline and Strategic Timinglt/bgtltbrgtImplementation will occur from January 20 to July 19, 2026, during the critical lean season when food stocks are low, market prices peak, and income opportunities dwindle. Cash distribution will occur in months 2, 3, and 4, after a month for community sensitization, beneficiary registration, committee formation, and accountability setup. The timing is crucial, as it provides support before the next anticipated agricultural cycle and prevents households from resorting to harmful negative coping strategies such as selling remaining productive assets, marrying off children, migrating to dangerous locations, or reducing meal frequency and dietary diversity. ltbrgtltbgtWHO: Target Beneficiaries and Vulnerability Criterialt/bgtltbrgtThe project directly helps 800 of the most at-risk households, including 500 headed by women and 300 headed by men. It is expected to reach a total of 4,800 people (about six people per household). The beneficiary selection employs rigorous vulnerability-based targeting criteria developed in consultation with community leaders and humanitarian standards. Priority populations include female-headed households that are more economically vulnerable and socially isolated households with children who are severely malnourished and need immediate nutritional support elderly-headed households without able-bodied income earners households with disabled people who have extra trouble getting help and finding work.ltbrgtltbgtHOW: Implementation Methodology and Approachlt/bgtltbrgtMARDO will implement the project using a comprehensive and accountable methodology, ensuring assistance reaches the most vulnerable while maintaining program integrity and beneficiary safety. The process begins with district-level coordination meetings with Area-Based Coordination (ABC) and Food Security Cluster chairs to ensure no duplication, followed by community sensitization sessions where project objectives, targeting criteria, entitlements, duration, and complaints mechanisms are clearly communicated. Beneficiary identification employs vulnerability-based targeting (VBT) through inclusive community committees (10-12 members per village, representing women, youth, individuals with disabilities, and minority clans) who identify the most drought-affected households using transparent selection criteria. ltbrgtlt/pgtMandhere Relief and Development OrganizationMandhere Relief and Development OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security315000.30315000.30Somalia Humanitarian FundMandhere Relief and Development Organization252000.24Somalia Humanitarian FundMandhere Relief and Development Organization63000.06Somalia Humanitarian FundMandhere Relief and Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38641United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtSomalia Young Doctors Association (SOYDA) proposes a 12-month, life-saving nutrition intervention in Afgooye District, Lower Shabelle, in response to the SHF Reserve Allocation – December 2025: Drought Response in Southern Somalia.

These villages were prioritized due to severe food insecurity, high vulnerability, and recurrent exposure to climate shocks, particularly drought and flooding.ltbrgtAn assessment conducted by AYUUB NGO from 20-25th November  2025 found critical food security conditions, with 88% of households consuming only one to two meals per day, 64% lacking stable income, and 55% relying on credit or food borrowing. Female-headed households and IDPs are disproportionately affected, with only 22% of pregnant and lactating women consuming protein-rich foods weekly. Harmful coping strategies are widespread, including reduced adult food intake (39%), withdrawal of children from school (25%), and early marriage as a survival strategy (13%). Damage to key infrastructure, including granaries for seed storage and a major irrigation canal, has further constrained access to food and water. Communities identified emergency cash combined with agricultural inputs (Cash Plus) as the preferred immediate and recovery response.ltbrgtAccording to IPC projections for October–December 2025, the population in the project area is classified under IPC Phase 3 (Crisis – 84,714 people) and IPC Phase 4 (Emergency – 11,427 people), reflecting significant food consumption gaps, rising market prices, limited income opportunities, and depletion of coping capacities. Riverine and ethnic minority communities face the highest risk of further deterioration.ltbrgtIn response, AYUUB NGO will deliver lifesaving emergency Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT) plus emergency agricultural inputs in (Cash+ approach) and Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT) to ensure vulnerable households’ immediate availability and access to food while also enabling them to produce locally and secure a harvest/food stock. The project will be in line with the SHF Reserve Allocation 2025 and Food Security Cluster strategy. The project will reach 1,400 households of 2988 Women, 1752 Girls, 1992 Men and 1668 boys. The total project budget is around 530,000 USD. 700 Vulnerable HHs will receive USD 55 per month for three months, aligned with the Minimum Expenditure Basket, with approximately 70% allocated to food and essential needs. Cash assistance will be complemented by emergency agricultural inputs, including maize, sorghum, cowpeas, vegetable and tools to support short-cycle food production and early livelihood recovery. The project will apply a Cash Plus approach, combining unconditional cash assistance with targeted livelihood support. Beneficiaries will be selected using vulnerability-based targeting. Evidence from AYUUB NGO 2025 pilot demonstrates that this approach improves equitable access, increasing minority clan inclusion from 30% to 40%. The intervention will prioritize underserved riverine villages predominantly inhabited by  minority communities, which record critical GAM levels of 17.2% and face recurrent cyclical drought.ltbrgtProtection centrality, Accountability to Affected Populations, and Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse are fully integrated in line with SHF/FSC strategic guideline. Protection-sensitive delivery, accessible and confidential feedback and complaints mechanisms, and PSEA reporting channels will be in place. All staff will adhere to a Code of Conduct and receive mandatory PSEA training, while communities will be informed of their rights and reporting options to ensure assistance is delivered safely, with dignity and accountability.ltbrgtGender and inclusion are central to the project design. Female-only Farmer Field Schools, flexible scheduling, and community-tailored input packages will address women’s time constraints.

The project will deliver lifesaving and sustainable WASH activities, that comprise the following:ltbrgt Restoring safe water access: SAMA will rehabilitate two public boreholes in underserved rural villages (Sinai and Biyooley). The water points will be equipped with solar‑powered pumps, elevated tanks, gender‑sensitive distribution kiosks, and water troughs, supported by water quality monitoring and household‑level chlorination. In addition, four shallow wells will be rehabilitated through desilting, construction of aprons, and installation of Afrodev hand pumps. Gender‑balanced water management committees will be trained to oversee functionality and ensure sustainability. All rehabilitation works will be carried out in line with the Somalia WASH Clusters Toolkit for Small‑Scale Water Supply Systems, ensuring adherence to sectoral standards, technical quality, and long‑term sustainability.ltbrgt Expanding emergency sanitation: The project will construct 100 flood resistant communal latrines, with at least 15% adapted for people with disabilities (15 units). Each latrine will include a handwashing facility and solar lighting to ensure privacy and reduce GBV risks, particularly for women and girls at night. Sitting and design will be informed by protection assessments and community consultations, with sanitation materials distributed for ongoing maintenance.ltbrgt Promoting inclusive hygiene and risk communication: SAMA will deploy 10 trained hygiene promoters and 4 community mobilizers to conduct structured door to door visits and community dialogues. Messaging will emphasize hand hygiene, IPC, latrine care, safe water handling, menstrual hygiene management (MHM), and PSEA awareness, using Somalia WASH Cluster approved materials.

The prolonged and recurrent drought has triggered an unprecedented humanitarian emergency, with an estimated 4.4 million people projected to face acute food insecurity between October and December 2025. Among those affected are approximately 1.85 million children suffering from acute malnutrition, including 421,000 at risk of severe acute malnutrition (SAM).ltbrgtThe crisis is compounded by a critical lack of access to safe and reliable water, which worsens malnutrition, heightens vulnerability, and fuels disease outbreaks. According to Somalia WASH Cluster, over 3.1 million people lack access to safe drinking water at the moment, contributing to ongoing outbreaks of cholera, acute watery diarrhea, and measles, particularly in drought-affected rural areas.ltbrgtTo address these urgent needs, the GRRN project will support life-saving WASH objectives by improving access to safe water and promoting hygiene practices in the most drought-affected communities of Burhakaba rural villages.

The 2025 Post-Gu IPC Analysis confirms that although the Gu rains started on time, they ended early in many areas, significantly reducing water availability in rural livelihoods, while forecasts of a below-average Deyr season further heighten the risk of prolonged water scarcity. These climatic shocks, compounded by insecurity and repeated displacement, have resulted in millions of people facing Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse, with rural communities and internally displaced persons (IDPs) disproportionately affected due to weak infrastructure, overstretched services, and limited coping capacity. Limited access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene is identified as a major underlying driver of acute malnutrition, high disease prevalence, and recurrent outbreaks of acute watery diarrhea and other waterborne diseases, particularly in rural and displacement-affected settings.ltbrgtIn Hudur IDP settlements and surrounding drought-affected rural communities, existing shallow wells are frequently non-functional, seasonally dry, or unsafe due to contamination, forcing households—especially women and children—to travel long distances, rely on unsafe water sources, or adopt harmful coping strategies. IDP populations, many of whom have experienced multiple displacements, face acute pressure on limited water and sanitation infrastructure, increasing public health risks, protection concerns, and tensions with host communities.ltbrgtIn response to these interconnected needs, MUDRO proposes a comprehensive WASH intervention targeting 775 rural drought-affected households and 1,900 IDP households, designed to address both immediate lifesaving requirements and longer-term water security in line with WASH Cluster standards. The intervention will include the development of new water sources, rehabilitation and upgrading of five shallow wells, and extension of water supply systems through pipeline connections from a newly constructed borehole to improve equitable access for IDPs and host communities. To address urgent gaps, limited emergency water trucking will be provided for the most vulnerable households for a three-month period. Complementary sanitation and hygiene activities will include the construction of gender-segregated communal latrines in IDP settlements and hygiene promotion focusing on safe water handling, handwashing, and disease prevention.ltbrgtBeneficiary selection will follow transparent, vulnerability-based criteria prioritizing the most at-risk households, while communities will be actively engaged from project design through implementation and monitoring. Community feedback and complaints mechanisms will be established to ensure accountability and responsiveness. Through this integrated and participatory approach, the project will reduce disease burden, mitigate acute malnutrition risks, and strengthen community resilience against recurrent climate and displacement shocks.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtMustaqbal Development and Relief OrganizationMustaqbal Development and Relief OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene350000.00350000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundMustaqbal Development and Relief Organization280000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundMustaqbal Development and Relief Organization70000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundMustaqbal Development and Relief OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38658United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtBaidoa District remains one of the most critical humanitarian hotspots in southern Somalia, driven by prolonged drought, recurrent climatic shocks, and sustained displacement pressures.

According to UN OCHA, 6.9 million people across Somalia require humanitarian assistance in 2025, including over 4.3 million children. The Bay Region consistently ranks among the areas with the highest severity and persistent unmet needs.ltbrgtRural Baidoa continues to experience acute service deficits, as consecutive below-average rainfall seasons in 2024–2025 have severely undermined water availability and basic WASH infrastructure. Assessments indicate that over 60% of water sources in drought-affected areas are either non-functional or operating below sustainable yield, forcing households to travel long distances or rely on unsafe surface water sources. These gaps in WASH services translate directly into life-threatening public health risks. National WASH data show that 6.6 million people in Somalia lack access to safe water, and only 52% of the population has access to basic water services.ltbrgtIn Baidoa’s rural settlements, households increasingly depend on costly emergency water supply systems, with prices often exceeding USD 6–8 per 200-liter barrel during peak dry Jilaal periods (January–March), significantly limiting water consumption and hygiene practices. Limited household water treatment and poor source protection increase contamination risks. Disease surveillance confirms that drought-affected districts with disrupted WASH services remain highly vulnerable to outbreaks. AWD/cholera monitoring over recent years shows that areas experiencing water scarcity and sanitation breakdown consistently account for a high proportion of suspected cases nationally.ltbrgtTo address these urgent needs, WARDO proposes to deliver life-saving emergency WASH assistance to drought-affected rural communities in Baidoa District through an integrated WASH package comprising:-ltbrgt* Sustained and Emergency Water Supply: (1) 60 days of emergency water supply for 1,666 households (10,000 people) and (2) rehabilitation of three strategic water sources (one borehole and two shallow wells) equipped with solar-powered pumping systems, serving approximately 8,000 people. (3) Conducting routine water quality monitoring, chlorination, and establishment/training of three Water Management Committees.ltbrgt* Soft WASH Activities : (4) Distribution of 20 sanitation toolkits and (5) implementation of 20 community clean-up campaigns and maintaining hygiene standards through (6) distribution of 1,780 hygiene kits targeting 12,000 people and (7) delivery of 32 targeted hygiene promotion and education sessions at community and facility levels.ltbrgtThe project will prioritize vulnerable rural communities, with a particular focus on women, girls, and persons with disabilities, providing immediate life-saving support to approximately 12,000 individuals (3,661 women, 3,864 girls, 2,441 men, and 2,034 boys).This intervention aims to mitigate the impacts of drought and displacement, reduce waterborne disease transmission, and strengthen community resilience to ongoing climatic shocks.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtWadajir Rural Development OrganizationWadajir Rural Development OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene450000450000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization360000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization90000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38659United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtSomalia is currently facing severe drought conditions linked to the poor performance of both April/June and October/December rains compounded by funding shortfalls for humanitarian assistance.  According to FSNAU, 4.4 million people are projected to face high levels including ltbrgt176,490 people in IPC4 acute food insecurity in Bay between October and December due to poor rainfall, high food prices, conflict insecurity and floods. Baidoa experience an increasing influx of IDPs, putting pressure on the strained services. About 4,200 new displacements arrived in Baidoa between November and December, according to Drought Emergency Situation Report No. 2 released on 21 December.ltbrgtTAAKULO also found that 344 people in Baidoa rural villages have been displaced from their homes. At least 124 HHs (576 ind) including 55 FHHHs in the assessed villages reported livestock death in November and December and experienced critical water shortages and significant food consumption. Over 60% of the affected HHs began to reduce the number of meals, while others engaged in more negative coping, including selling assets (27%), migration (38%), and borrowing food (35%) to bridge the food consumption deficits. HHs also anticipate resorting to further coping strategies including restricting adults’ consumption and limiting portion sizes. Women, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities are at heightened risks of protection and safety risks. ltbrgtThe AFI situation is likely to worsen as the upcoming Jiilaal dry season and resource gaps FSC partners face are expected to exacerbate the drought conditions, leaving 600,000 vulnerable people in IPC phase 4 without critical assistance.ltbrgtThe project intends to ensure immediate access to food and provide emergency livelihoods support to HHs in drought hit hardest locations. The project activities include unconditional cash assistance for HHs experiencing crisis, emergency or catastrophe levels (IPC phase 3 or worse) of food insecurity Female-headed HHs, disability or elderly headed, HHs with acutely malnourished children, HHs with PLWs, marginalised and HHs with PWDs HHs and resorting to negative coping strategies to meet the increasing food needs.  Emergency livelihood support will prevent further loss of livestock and promote long-term stability of the vulnerable HHs.

Households will be identified through a vulnerability-based targeting (VBT) strategy, enhancing inclusivity and ensuring that the most disadvantaged groups receive the needed support. ASIP's past experience has demonstrated the effectiveness of VBT in improving representation, which successfully increased minority clan inclusion from 25% to 35% and the participation of persons with disabilities (PWD) from 7% to 10% compared to the previous year.ltbrgtThe project will specifically focus on underserved riverine villages of ltbgtMareerey, Tawakal and Balgurelt/bgt Villages where marginalized communities are grappling with the most severe levels of Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM), currently recorded at 16.4% in Afgooye. In prioritizing assistance, the project will also emphasize support for returning internally displaced persons (IDPs) and other vulnerable groups. UCT will serve as a crucial entry point to bolster food security for these households.ltbrgtIn a bid to foster community involvement, ASIP will intentionally engage targeted households through inclusive feedback mechanisms, ensuring that beneficiaries have a voice in the assistance process. Inputs for agricultural activities will be determined in consultation with local farmers, guaranteeing that communities can effectively cultivate a minimum of an acre. A carefully curated mix of cereal and vegetable seeds will be distributed, specifically adapted to the riverine environment, thus improving access to a nutritious and balanced diet.ltbrgtGender and protection mainstreaming will be fundamental throughout the project. All proposed villages are home to ethnic minorities within Afgooye, and ASIP is committed to ensuring that at least 10% of UCT recipients are Gender based Violence (GBV), as identified and referred by partner agencies through protection  and GBV working groups.ltbrgtFurthermore, ASIP will actively collaborate in both intra- and inter-agency referral systems, particularly focusing on protection, health, and nutrition services to create a comprehensive support network for beneficiaries. Access barriers, service quality, and protection risks will be continuously monitored through client satisfaction surveys, call center data, and community consultations, allowing for adaptive management of the project based on real-time feedback.ltbrgtTo reinforce accountability and safeguard against abuses, the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) will be promoted through targeted information sessions, which aim to educate households on recognizing and reporting SEA cases.

The proposed intervention is guided by the findings of IPC Somalia Food Security outlook September 2025.  The food insecurity situation in Somalia is worsening with 3.4 million people experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 or above) across Somalia. Between July and September 2025, around 624,000 people (3 percent of the population) have been experiencing Emergency levels of acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 4), while more than 2.8 million people (15 percent of the population) have been experiencing IPC Phase 3 (Crisis). lt/pgtltpgtNeeds assessment conducted by PASOS in Buurhakaba in October 2025 identified food, water, and protection as priority needs in the target settlements. The proposed activity will also address the negative coping mechanisms that affected populations have adopted as a result of the current measures' inadequacy of food, water, and lack of protection mechanisms. It will also prevent further displacement in Somalia as the affected people will be assisted in their locations in Buurhakaba.ltbrgtCash assistance is seen as the most suitable assistance as markets in Buurhakaba are operational and accessible with the essential food commodities available for purchase.ltbrgtIn this response, 1905 households - approximately 11430 persons (3150 women, 2905 men, 2632 boys and 2740 girls) in Buurhakaba  are proposed to receive assistance. The intervention will target people in IPC phase 3+ with priority for households with individuals who have disability and female headed households.ltbrgtPASOS seeks to provide 55 USD per household for every round. This is in line with the Somalia Cash Working Group and Food Security Cluster guideline for the transfer value for the Somalia Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB). Each of the target households will receive 55 USD for 3 rounds in the months of April, May and June 2026. This will cover a significant part of the MEB  ( 70%  ).ltbrgtThe assistance is critical in the context of the huge funding cuts for humanitarian operations in Somalia. PASOS will employ vulnerability-based targeting where prioritization will be applied to ensure the resources go those who are most vulnerable.ltbrgtFor transparent implementation, all registrations will be done by PASOS monitoring and evaluation team together with the project staff. All beneficiaries will be issued with a SIM card so that is easier for them to be registered and get their entitlements through mobile money transfer. ltbrgtPASOS values coordination of humanitarian response. It is this spirit that while implementing this project, all activities will be implemented in coordination with the Food Security cluster partners to ensure there is no duplication of assistance. PASOS will also coordinate with other SHF partners in the areas to ensure there is complementarity, and the targeted people get the maximum benefit of the project.ltbrgtlt/pgtPeace Action Society Organisation for SomaliaPeace Action Society Organisation for SomaliaSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security425600.20425600.20Somalia Humanitarian FundPeace Action Society Organisation for Somalia340480.16Somalia Humanitarian FundPeace Action Society Organisation for Somalia85120.04Somalia Humanitarian FundPeace Action Society Organisation for SomaliaXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38704United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis response is intended to mitigate the physical and protection consequences of drought on populations and communities in Bay region, in particular, Burhakaba District.The project intends to achieve comprehensive community outreach outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) and supplementary feeding program [TSFP] centers services providing more holistic opportunity to the target beneficiaries.

As per Rapid Protection Needs Assessment by CESDO and the multi-sectoral RNA conducted in Baidoa - March 2025, drought-induced displacement has significantly increased exposure to protection threats and risks, including discrimination and stigmatization, psychological abuse, and denial of access to critical resources, services, and humanitarian assistance. Affected individuals—particularly women, girls, persons with disabilities, and members of marginalized clans—face heightened risks of gender-based violence, child or forced marriage, child labour, family separation, and loss of civil documentation. Restrictions on freedom of movement, unlawful impediments to humanitarian access, and a lack of access to legal identity documents have further limited the ability of communities to seek protection and essential services. The crisis has also triggered a spike in forced evictions and increased inter-clan tensions in rural areas, where competition over dwindling resources such as land and water threatens to fuel further conflict and displacement.lt/pgtltpgtThrough this project, CESDO will strengthen and establish 2 static and 2 mobile protection desks to deliver targeted services including protection case management (PCM), Individual Protection Assistance (IPA), assistive devices for persons with disabilities, psychosocial support, and robust referral systems.

These climatic shocks have resulted in widespread crop failure, loss of livelihoods, increased market dependency, and reduced purchasing power among poor and vulnerable households, particularly those classified under IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) and IPC Phase 4 (Emergency). In Burhakaba District, an estimated 74,189 individuals are under stress, 43,722 are classified as in crisis, and 14,377 are in an emergency situation this is according to Somalia 2025 Post Gu IPC AFI Analyses Population Estimates and Classification. The overall objective of the project is to meet the immediate food needs of the most vulnerable households through the provision of life-saving unconditional cash transfers (UCT). Cash assistance has been selected as the most appropriate response modality as local markets in Burhakaba remain functional, and cash enables households to access food according to their priority needs while preserving dignity and choice.ltbrgtThe intervention will target households in IPC Phase 3 and 4 areas of Burhakaba District, with a strong focus on female-headed households, households with children under five, pregnant and lactating women, persons with disabilities, older persons, and displaced households. Y-PEER Somalia will apply the Community-Based Targeting (CBT) Guidelines for Somalia, combining vulnerability criteria with community validation to ensure transparent, inclusive, and accountable beneficiary selection. Prior to registration, community engagement and sensitization meetings will be conducted in each targeted village to explain project objectives, eligibility criteria, entitlements, and complaints mechanisms.ltbrgtThe cash transfer value is informed by the September 2025 Somalia Cash Working Group recommendations and aligned with Food Security Cluster guidance. Each selected household will receive USD 55 per month, covering approximately 70% of the food minimum expenditure basket (MEB), for a total of three consecutive rounds during February, March, and April 2026. This period coincides with the peak of the drought and anticipated humanitarian assistance pipeline breaks, making timely support critical.ltbrgtThrough this intervention, 1811 vulnerable households (approximately 10,866 individuals) will be reached with unconditional cash assistance. The project will be implemented across selected villages in Burhakaba District, with household allocation per village determined through community-based targeting and validation processes to reflect severity of need and population size.

Tayeeglow continues to face severe WASH needs in 2025 due to prolonged drought, weak and non-functional water infrastructure, and recurring seasonal water shortages, exposing households to heightened public health risks and persistent exclusion from basic services. According to OCHA Somalia updates and inter-cluster analysis (2025), water availability in Tayeeglow remains critically constrained, with households relying on seasonal surface water, shallow wells, and berkads that often dry up or become unsafe, increasing reliance on costly and unsustainable water trucking. UNICEF WASH reports and WASH Cluster 4W data (2025) highlight limited chlorination, weak household water treatment, low sanitation coverage, and long distances to water points, heightening risks of waterborne disease and protection concerns, especially for women, girls, and children under five. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project responds to these challenges by addressing the core vulnerability of inadequate access to clean and reliable drinking water through an integrated WASH approach prioritising protection, inclusion, localisation, sustainability, and area-based coordination. It contributes to the WASH Cluster and HRP Strategic Objective SO2 (2025) and aims for at least 80 percent of households in the target villages to achieve sustained access to water that meets minimum humanitarian standards by project end. Key interventions include construction of three new shallow wells in Ceelgars and Shimo, rehabilitation of five existing shallow wells across the target villages, and development of two solar-powered borehole water supply systems in El Garas and Shimo, each equipped with elevated storage tanks, communal tap stands, and hydraulically isolated livestock troughs. To address acute gaps during peak dry periods, time-bound emergency water trucking will be implemented for two months in Awgdheere, Qarsooy, Xawaal Kuule, El Garas, and Shimo, alongside four rounds of routine water quality monitoring and testing. Sustainability will be reinforced through capacity building and ongoing support to Water Management Committees across all target villages.ltbrgtLocalisation and coordination are central to implementation. SOVA will leverage its established operational presence and community acceptance in Tayeeglow District, working through locally recruited WASH officers, technicians, and community-based structures. The project will converge geographically and programmatically with Health, Nutrition, and Food Security interventions implemented by MARDO, CRPD, SAMA, and CERID, ensuring households reached with WASH services also benefit from health outreach, nutrition services including GRRN fixed and outreach modalities, and food security assistance. Coordination will be maintained through WASH Cluster and Area-Based Coordination mechanisms, regular inter-agency meetings, timely 4W reporting, and joint analysis to ensure complementarity and avoid duplication, while complementing CERF, CBPF, and other donor-funded interventions.ltbrgtProtection will be systematically mainstreamed across all activities to ensure services are delivered in a safe, dignified, and inclusive manner. Through vulnerability-based targeting, transparent community validation, safe siting of infrastructure, and strong accountability mechanisms, the project will cumulatively reach 18,000 people at risk of exclusion, including 5,400 women, 4,500 girls, 4,500 boys, and 3,600 men. Accountability to Affected Populations will be strengthened through accessible complaints and feedback mechanisms, five gatekeeper agreements with mandatory PSEA clauses, inclusive community committees, and IEC messaging on entitlements and reporting pathways. ltbrgtlt/pgtSomali Vulnerable ActorsSomali Vulnerable ActorsSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene399999.28399999.28Somalia Humanitarian FundSomali Vulnerable Actors319999.42Somalia Humanitarian FundSomali Vulnerable Actors79999.86Somalia Humanitarian FundSomali Vulnerable ActorsXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38732United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtBaidoa rural continues to bear the cumulative effects of prolonged drought, erratic rainfall, and repeated displacement. These shocks have eroded livelihoods, depleted coping mechanisms, and placed immense pressure on fragile basic services. Host communities are sharing scarce water points with newly displaced families, accelerating the collapse of already overstretched WASH infrastructure. As water sources dry up and contaminated, families are forced to rely on unprotected water sources, increasing exposure to preventable diseases and pushing vulnerable households closer to catastrophic humanitarian situation.ltbrgtWomen and girls shoulder the burden of water collection, often walking long distances to unprotected water points, exposing them to protection risks. Children under five and pregnant and lactating women face heightened health and nutrition risks as unsafe water, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene exacerbate diarrheal diseases. Persons with disabilities, and minority groups face persistent barriers to accessing water and sanitation due to social exclusion.ltbrgtIn response, CESDO proposes a life-saving WASH intervention with durable solutions in drought-affected host communities in 7 rural villages in Baidoa, targeting 10,482 vulnerable persons. The project will improve immediate and sustained access to safe water through rehabilitation and upgrading of boreholes, extension of water supply networks to bring water closer families and reduce travel distance, construction of water kiosks to reduce overcrowding and associated protection risks for women and girls, emergency water trucking, and operation and maintenance to support community-operated water systems.ltbrgtThe project adopts an area-based approach. Through close coordination with WASH, Health, Nutrition, and Protection actors, CESDO will ensure complementary and non-duplicative assistance, with referrals to health and nutrition services prioritized for malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women, and households affected by disease outbreaks. Centrality of Protection is mainstreamed across all activities. Community engagement will identify minority groups, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups, who will be actively engaged in decision-making including WASH committees and community monitoring groups.ltbrgtExclusion from assistance is proven to be a major challenge for minority and marginalized groups. CESDO will address this challenge by first conducting community mapping at the start of the project to identify clan and power dynamics in the target locations and the potential exclusion of specific groups from the assistance. Inclusive consultation sessions will be conducted with women, girls, persons with disabilities, and marginalized/minority groups. Representative and inclusive community-based committee will be established to oversee the project implementation, provide regular feedback through community meetings, and/or the toll-free hotline.ltbrgtAs an exit strategy, CESDO will train a representative and inclusive WASH committees including women, men, persons with disabilities and minority groups, with women making up at 50% of the committee members. The WASH committee will be trained on technical skills in the repair and maintenance of the WASH infrastructure, including plumbing, fixing and replacing taps. They will also play a crucial role in conflict resolution, oversee the operation of the systems and facilitate the collection of management of minimum fees for the future repair and maintenance of the established or rehabilitated WASH infrastructure. This will enhance community contribution and ownership and reduce the dependence on humanitarian assistance.ltbrgtlt/pgtCommunity Empowerment and Social Development OrganizationCommunity Empowerment and Social Development OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene450000.00450000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundCommunity Empowerment and Social Development Organization360000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundCommunity Empowerment and Social Development Organization90000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundCommunity Empowerment and Social Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38735United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtTayeeglow District, located in the Bakool region of southwestern Somalia, includes a main town centre divided into the Sinai, Halgan, and Bolowka sections, as well as 14 surrounding villages. The district has an estimated population of 171,691, with a nearly equal gender distribution: 86,278 females (50.3%) and 85,413 males (49.7%). This area is strategically vital to agriculture and regional security and is located at 4.03°N, 44.52°E. The population is severely affected by persistent drought, with 77% of the 41,700 individuals classified as People in Need (PiN) residing in rural areas. Currently, Tayeeglow District is facing a profound humanitarian emergency, driven by the catastrophic failure of the 2025 Deyr seasonal rains, compounded by a long-term humanitarian vacuum and acute economic instability. Tragically, there is currently little to no coverage of food humanitarian aid in the area, leaving the population entirely reliant on themselves amid a collapsing economy.ltbrgtAccording to the December 2025 FSNAU/FEWSNET technical release, the Bakool region has experienced a drastic decline in food security, with 123,020 people now classified in IPC Phases 3 (Crisis) and 4 (Emergency). Within Tayeeglow District alone, approximately 11,865 households fall into these critical categories and urgently require life-saving intervention. Furthermore, an additional 208,190 people remain in IPC Phase 2, making them highly vulnerable and at risk of progressing to higher IPC phases due to resource-based conflict that could cause displacement at any time, climate shocks such as droughts, and the persistent absence of humanitarian services, worsened by Al-Shabaab's strict rules on access to free goods.ltbrgtThe situation for pastoralists has become unsustainable, as resource-based drought has decimated livelihoods and forced large-scale displacement to urban centres. Households are currently trapped in a cycle of distress coping, relying heavily on credit-based food purchases, migrating in search of manual labour, and relying on dwindling social support networks, such as kinship gifts and in-kind food. Recent field assessments by CeRID confirm a near-total collapse in local purchasing power. On average, households spend 82% of their total income on food. Yet, they are unable to meet the minimum survival threshold of 2,100 kcal per person per day or the standard Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB). This food insecurity is characterised by high Coping Strategy Index (CSI) scores and low Food Consumption Scores (FCS), primarily driven by significant livestock mortality and rising debt levels that have eroded households' resilience.ltbrgtTo prevent a further humanitarian disaster, CeRID proposes a targeted, life-saving intervention to restore food access for 2,905 of the most food-insecure households in Tayeelow/Sinai, Koorar, El-Garas and Shimo village(approximately 17,430 individuals), enabling them to receive monthly (UCT) for three rounds. This effort primarily focuses on informal drought-displaced persons in Tayeeglow town and destitute pastoralists, with special emphasis on female-headed households, pregnant and lactating women, child-headed households, persons with disabilities (PWD), and the elderly.ltbrgtThe proposed transfer value, aligned with the FSNAU post-Gu assessment, the HCT-endorsed JIAF methodology, and the proposal guidelines, is USD 55 per household per month. This amount represents 70% of the Food MEB (USD $79). It provides the critical buffer needed to prevent mortality and stabilise poor and middle-class households that are currently falling through the cracks of the existing humanitarian response. Despite the severity of the crisis, existing partners are unable to reach these vulnerable populations due to significant funding constraints and access barriers. CeRID's established presence and operational capacity in Tayeeglow position the organisation to fill this vital gap and provide immediate relief to those in hard-to-reach pastoral villages.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtlt/pgtCentre for Research Integrated DevelopmentCentre for Research Integrated DevelopmentSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security671851.13671851.13Somalia Humanitarian FundCentre for Research Integrated Development537480.90Somalia Humanitarian FundCentre for Research Integrated Development134370.23Somalia Humanitarian FundCentre for Research Integrated DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-R-NGO-38753United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtBaidoa District in Bay Region is facing a severe health emergency, compounded by recurrent droughts, localized flooding, and mass displacement.

This declaration, endorsed by federal member states at the Somalia Humanitarian Forum in Jowhar, underscored that 4.4 million people were imminently at risk of food insecurity and 1.85 million children under five could suffer acute malnutrition. The  drought has severely impacted water sources with over 170 boreholes and shallow wells non-functional and 4.1 million people water insecure. Water prices have surged, food scarcity is worsening, and livestock deaths are widespread, leading to collapsing livelihoods. Forecasts for early 2026 predict continued dry conditions and extreme heat, increasing the risk of crop failure and deepening humanitarian needs.ltbrgtIn Xudur District, Bakool region, the situation is critical. FAO SWALIM reports severe to extreme drought, with sharp reductions in pasture, surface water, and soil moisture.

The intervention aligns with the Somalia Humanitarian Fund Reserve Allocation priorities and Food Security Cluster guidance, targeting households experiencing acute consumption gaps, erosion of coping capacities, and heightened protection risks. The project will provide Unconditional Cash Transfers valued at USD 55 per household per month for a duration of three months, covering approximately 70% of the Minimum Expenditure Basket in line with FSC standards.ltbrgtThe assistance will enable crisis-affected households to meet immediate food needs, stabilize consumption, and reduce reliance on negative coping strategies such as distress asset sales, meal reduction, and harmful survival mechanisms. Targeting will prioritize households in IPC Phase 3 and above, with particular focus on female-headed households, families with malnourished children, persons with disabilities, and households hosting displaced populations. Vulnerability-based targeting and verification will be conducted in close coordination with district authorities, community leadership structures, and Food security cluster guidance to ensure transparency, inclusivity, and accuracy.ltbrgtImplementation will be closely coordinated with health and nutrition partners operational in Xudur District. Strong operational linkages will be maintained with partners delivering nutrition interventions such as mass MUAC screening, community-based identification and referral of acutely malnourished children and pregnant and lactating women, outpatient and inpatient treatment of severe acute malnutrition, and supplementary feeding for moderate acute malnutrition. This coordinated approach will ensure that cash assistance complements service delivery, reduces financial barriers to access, and supports continuity of care for vulnerable households.ltbrgtProtection and gender mainstreaming will be embedded throughout the intervention. Targeting and implementation will prioritize women, girls, older persons, and persons with disabilities, and will actively mitigate risks of exclusion, exploitation, and harm. Cash assistance will be delivered in a manner that preserves dignity, safety, and informed choice, with attention to intra-household dynamics and risks of gender-based violence. Referral pathways will be activated for households identified with protection concerns, in coordination with specialized protection and GBV service providers operating in the district.ltbrgtAccountability to affected populations will be central to implementation. Zamzam Foundation will establish and maintain accessible, confidential, and safe feedback and complaints mechanisms, including community-level feedback channels and referral pathways. Beneficiaries will be informed of their entitlements, selection criteria, and available complaint mechanisms through community sensitization and information sharing. All feedback and complaints will be documented, tracked, and responded to in a timely manner. ltbrgtThe key project activities will include: conducting vulnerability-based targeting and household verification registering eligible households and establishing secure beneficiary databases compliant with data protection standards delivering multipurpose cash transfers through approved financial service providers using agreed transfer values and modalities conducting routine post-distribution monitoring to assess timeliness, adequacy, utilization, and beneficiary satisfaction and undertaking regular market monitoring of key food commodities included in the Minimum Expenditure Basket to inform transfer value adequacy.

The project objective will be achieved through two main interventions: First, provision of Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT) assistance for a duration of three months the proposed duration of cash assistance has been decided based on global humanitarian best practices, which suggest that sustained multi-month support is often required to stabilize vulnerable households and prevent harmful coping mechanisms such as selling off productive assets, reducing food intake, withdrawal of children from school and increased child labour. This autonomy is critical in dynamic crisis settings where needs can vary drastically from one household to another. Due to resource limitations and in line with the cluster recommendation, NRC will provide 70% of the recommended Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) value per HH. The UCT is particularly important in emergency contexts because it offers flexibility and dignity to recipients, allowing them to prioritise their own most urgent needs, like food, water, healthcare, rent, or clothing. Furthermore, UCTs also play a protective role by enabling households to preserve their productive assets (e.g, livestock, farming tools, small businesses), which are often sold off in desperation during crises. Protecting these assets is critical for future recovery and for maintaining a degree of resilience in the face of ongoing uncertainty. The cash transfer values are determined based on national and regional MEB and local market assessments, and a 70% of the recommended transfer value (USD 70) amounting to USD 55 will be released to the selected project participants over a period of three months. This ensures that the cash is adequate to meet a substantial portion of household needs and that it does not inadvertently drive inflation in local markets. Beneficiary households will be selected through a transparent community-based vulnerability targeting approach, conducted in coordination with local authorities and village community elders/committees (VRCs), and guided by the humanitarian principles of impartiality, equity, and transparency.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe second intervention focuses on rehabilitation and/or establishing the small community infrastructures and assets through Cash for Work (CfW) initiatives. The CfW intervention seeks to stimulate early recovery and long-term resilience by engaging communities in meaningful, wage-earning activities tied to local infrastructure rehabilitation, such as water harvesting structures, small-scale irrigation canals and farm-to-market feeder roads. These infrastructures will be carefully selected based on community priorities, local government development plans, and technical feasibility. The goal is not only to inject cash into vulnerable households through paid labor but also to leave behind assets that enhance the community’s ability to cope with future shocks, improve livelihoods, and boost food security. lt/pgtltpgtThe project will engage both skilled and unskilled laborers from the target affected communities. CfW participants will be paid based on daily rates set in line with national labor standards and humanitarian cash programming guidelines, ensuring that wages are fair, sufficient, and do not distort local labor markets. The inclusion of both skilled and unskilled laborers will promote social inclusion and maximize community participation. ltbrgtNRC will make efforts to ensure the inclusion of women, youth, and persons with disabilities by assigning tasks suited to their abilities and ensuring that working conditions are safe, equitable, and non-exploitative.

These districts face a sharp rise in humanitarian needs due to climatic shocks, conflict, and displacement, and are projected to experience severe dry conditions. Save the Children, through this project, proposes to deploy or support two health centers, seven primary health unit (PHU) plus complemented by outreach services within catchment population. These resources will provide essential, life-saving health and protection services to communities affected by crises in Beledweyne district, which is among the four reprioritized districts for the allocation strategy. Provision of life-saving primary health care services aligns with the national essential package of health services (EPHS) framework such as clinical care, child health care, immunization, communicable disease treatment, sexual and reproductive health (antenatal care, post-natal care, safe deliveries and dignity kits for pregnant women as well as newborn care), emergency treatment and outbreak response including AWD/Cholera. The project targets vulnerable groups among the affected communities with a focus on children and pregnant women in newly established sites for displaced people, and residents in rural and hard to reach areas in Beledweyne. The project will  establish and strengthen formal referral pathways for survivors of GBV and other child protection concerns, linking health services directly with specialized case management. This includes referrals for malnourished children, pregnant women with complication, and access to Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) linkages. Prevention and response to outbreaks of diseases will be achieved through active surveillance, social mobilization, education and advocacy using integrated community-based volunteers, early detection, and early treatment of infected patients. The project is designed to tackle gender-related challenges by scrutinizing project data to pinpoint disparities, implement interventions sensitive to gender issues, and guarantee the involvement and empowerment of women. The project will specifically focus on People Living with Disabilities, women, and minority groups to guarantee their access to services. The effectiveness of this focus will be evaluated through the collection of data disaggregated by disability, gender, and age at all stages.  In line with the Centrality of Protection, measures will be put in place to ensure safe and dignified access to services, actively mitigating protection risks for all beneficiaries.ltbrgtTo ensure protection is central to this health response, SC will implement a robust CP/GBV mainstreaming strategy.  Health workers will be trained on identifying signs of abuse, neglect, and exploitation, and utilizing safe, confidential referral protocols for child protection and GBV cases. This will strengthen the formal referral pathway between health facilities and specialized protection services, ensuring children and women at risk receive comprehensive support. Furthermore, regular coordination meetings between health and protection teams will ensure seamless information sharing and case follow-up. Proactive prevention will be prioritized through targeted community outreach and awareness-raising sessions on critical child protection issues. The project will also distribute dignity kits which include not only essential hygiene items but also discreet information on available GBV support services. These integrated activities ensure that our life-saving health services also function as a critical protective safety net for the most vulnerable.The project is estimated to directly reach 64,211 (14,152 men, 20,476 women 14,805 boys 14,778 girls) vulnerable people with lifesaving primary health care servicesltbrgtlt/pgtSave the ChildrenSave the ChildrenSomalia Humanitarian FundHealth288461.54411538.46700000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundSave the Children420000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundSave the ChildrenXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-INGO-36507United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtThrough this project, Action Against Hunger (ACF) will provide immediate and intermediate access to food for crisis and food insecure households in Beletweyne as per the SHF allocation 2025. The project will reach 2,573 HHs (1,261 male and 1,312 female) potentially reaching a total of 15,438 taking the average HH size of 6 in Somalia. The project is fully aligned to the SHF Standard Allocation 2025 and the Food Security Cluster guidelines. Adopting the Cash plus approach, a combination of unconditional cash transfers (UCT) and support to livelihood restoration activities through fast maturing food production and animal health services will be promoted. Households will be identified using the vulnerability-based targeting (VBT) approach. From ACF’s experience, VBT enhances inclusion as seen from the 2024 pilot that increased minority clan inclusion from 25% to 35% and PWD from 7% to 10% compared to the previous year. The project will target under-served riverine villages largely inhabited by the Somali Bantu ethnic minority that present the highest GAM levels in Beletweyne of 16.4% and have been at the center of cyclic flooding. Returning IDPs to targeted villages will also be prioritised. UCT will be used as an entry point to the food security. Favoring a participatory approach, ACF will be intentional in meaningful engagement of the targeted HHs including through inclusive and varied feedback mechanisms. The inputs will be determined in consultation with the farmers enough to farm a minimum of an acre. A mix of cereals and vegetable seeds will be distributed adapted to the riverine locations, increasing access to a nutritious and balanced diet. Gender and protection mainstreaming is intentional. All the proposed villages for the project are inhabited by the ethnic minority in Beletwyene. Apart from a full outcome around protection mainstreaming, ACF plans to ensure that at least 10% of the UCT target will be GBV survivors as referred from sister agencies through the GBV working group. ACF will consciously participate in intra and inter referrals, especially for the protection, health and nutrition components. ACF will monitor access barriers, service quality, and protection risks through client satisfaction surveys, call center data, and community consultations. PSEA will be promoted through appropriate information sessions to targeted HHs on identification of and obligation to report of SEA cases. ltbrgtlt/pgtAction Contre la FaimAction Contre la FaimSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security387067.68375848.32762916.00Somalia Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim457749.60Somalia Humanitarian FundAction Contre la Faim304751.05Somalia Humanitarian FundAction Contre la FaimXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-INGO-36509United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtSomalia continues to grapple with a severe water crisis due to consecutive failed rainy seasons, with the Deyr 2024 rains were erratic and poorly distributed, particularly affecting regions like Hirshabelle, which received significantly below-normal precipitation. This has led to a decline in groundwater levels, severely impacting rural communities that depend on shallow wells and seasonal water sources. The anticipated below-average rainfall and rising temperatures are expected to worsen drought conditions, further straining limited water resources, reducing access to safe water and sanitation services, and increasing the risk of disease outbreaks. In response, Save the Children (SC) proposes a life-saving WASH intervention targeting the most vulnerable populations, including men, women, boys, and girls in underserved, hard-to-reach rural areas of Beletweyne district to mitigate the effects of dry conditions and displacement. The project aims to improve access to safe drinking water and sanitation, promote safe hygiene practices, and improve waste management to reduce public health risks and meet urgent needs. This will be achieved through the rehabilitation of 2 existing water sources, implementation of 1 pipeline extension and improvement of water systems serving households, schools, and health/nutrition facilities, and the provision of 3 sets of spare parts and accessories to ensure the functionality and sustainability of water systems and scaling up water quality monitoring and treatment.  Additionally, WASH support will be provided to 5 health facilities to strengthen IPC. The project will also construct 60 emergency latrines that are accessible to people living with disabilities (PLWD) and equipped with handwashing facilities, rehabilitate 40 existing latrines in IDP settlements, distribute 94 sanitation tools, and organize 25 regular community clean-up campaigns. Community hygiene promotion campaigns will be conducted by 28 trained hygiene promoters, and 1500 hygiene kits sourced from the regional hub will be distributed to promote improved hygiene practices, household water treatment, and safe water storage. These interventions align with the 2025 WASH Cluster allocation strategy and joint assessment findings in Hiran. Beneficiaries will be identified through consultations with community leaders, local authorities, ABC focal points, and cluster coordinators, ensuring coordination and integration with sectors such as FSL, Health, Nutrition, and Protection. Special attention will be given to gender considerations by ensuring that women and g]irls actively participate in assessments, planning, and monitoring, promoting over 50% female participation among hygiene promoters, and providing gender-segregated latrines located near households to reduce the risk of GBV. The project will also empower women and persons with disabilities, adhering to protection principles to ensure safe and equitable access to services while minimizing future risks. Over a 12-month period, the project will benefit 14,256 vulnerable individuals, including 3,421 men, 3,565 women, 3,563 boys, and 3,707 girls by enhancing access to essential WASH services and improving health and dignity in drought-affected and displaced communities.ltbrgtlt/pgtSave the ChildrenSave the ChildrenSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene145054.95254945.05400000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundSave the Children320000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundSave the ChildrenXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-INGO-36561United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtBeledweyne,a city bisected by the Shabelle River in central Somalia’s Hiraan region, is highly susceptible to both flooding and drought, which frequently undermine its urban water infrastructure. During the intense Gu rains from mid-April to mid-May 2024, severe flooding affected around 268,000 people and displaced approximately 81,000. This hydrological volatility severely disrupts the primary water supply for over 80,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host families, who rely on shallow, privately managed or committee-run riverbank wells. These wells are often contaminated, silted, structurally damaged and unreliable, exacerbated by poor maintenance and flood impacts.ltbrgtIn response, this WASH project will serve 18,546, individuals—of whom 13,050 are IDPs and 5,496 are members of host communities, with women making up 54 percent of the total and around 742 people with disabilities across nine IDP sites and two neighboring villages. The initiative aims to restore reliable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services, reduce public health risks, and bolster local systems. Core interventions include rehabilitating and expanding water supply systems by repairing strategic shallow wells identified during a February 2025 infrastructure assessment and extending pipelines to underserved, densely populated settlements to minimize dependence on water trucking. The project also supplies WASH upgrades for two health facilities, one school, and a GBV one- stop center, alongside constructing 40 new gender-sensitive, flood-resilient, disability-accessible latrines and upgrading another 40 damaged units.ltbrgtFurther measures address solid waste management by establishing designated disposal pits, conducting systematic water-quality monitoring using portable test kits and laboratory collaboration, disinfecting water sources, and delivering participatory community hygiene promotion. The February assessment highlighted critical gaps: many key wells were broken or heavily degraded, distribution pipelines were insufficient in outlying settlements, and waste was being disposed of improperly, increasing contamination and disease risk. Coordination with local authorities, the ABC platform, the Beledweyne Water Supply Association, and the WASH Cluster will foster inclusion, sustainability, and accountability.ltbrgtBuilt on community consultations with IDPs, host communities, well owners, service providers, and informed by technical assessments, this intervention complements existing AICs-funded efforts. It focuses on restoring equitable access to safe, sufficient, and affordable water through shallow-well rehabilitation, pipeline expansions, and formal agreements with water service providers. These efforts are designed to reduce waterborne disease, enhance household resilience, align with the 2025 Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan, and ultimately improve public health and climate resilience in Beledweyne.ltbrgtlt/pgtOXFAM Netherlands (NOVIB)OXFAM Netherlands (NOVIB)Somalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene210294.13189705.89400000.02Somalia Humanitarian FundOXFAM Netherlands (NOVIB)320000.02Somalia Humanitarian FundOXFAM Netherlands (NOVIB)80000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundOXFAM Netherlands (NOVIB)XM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-INGO-36615United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis 12-month health project is designed to improve the health outcomes of vulnerable populations in Beletweyne district, Somalia, through two (2) fixed Health Centers (ltbgtLafoole HClt/bgt and ltbgtDonsubagle HClt/bgt), two (2) Primary Health Units (ltbgtShabelle PHU lt/bgtand ltbgtEx-airport PHUlt/bgt), and two (2) Mobile Outreach Teams (10 outreach sites: ltbgtGasle, Qooqane, Lebow, Guriyacade, Burqaninyo,Bawaqo, Darusalam, Hoodley, Shirkanico, Shabellowlt/bgt).

These climate-induced shocks—exacerbated by conflict and widespread displacement—have severely disrupted access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. Beledweyne district in the Hiraan region is among the most critically affected, where the failure of seasonal rains and flood-damaged infrastructure has left thousands of internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities reliant on unsafe water sources and exposed to escalating public health risks.ltbrgtRecent assessments estimate that over 5.24 million people across Somalia will require WASH assistance in 2025. In Beledweyne, deteriorating WASH conditions have led to increased cases of waterborne diseases, particularly among women, children, and marginalized groups. Communities lack access to clean water, effective treatment methods, and functional sanitation infrastructure, undermining health, dignity, and resilience.ltbrgtTo respond to these urgent needs, Dignity First Somalia (DFS) proposes an 8-month standalone WASH intervention reaching approximately 12,254 vulnerable people across Beledweyne and surrounding hard-to-reach villages.

Community engagement, inclusive WASH committees, and accessible feedback mechanisms will ensure that services are safe, responsive, and aligned with the needs of women, girls, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups. By addressing critical WASH gaps while promoting protection, sustainability, and local ownership, the project aims to improve public health, reduce displacement risks, and restore dignity for some of Somalia’s most vulnerable populations.ltbrgtlt/pgtDignity First SomaliaDignity First SomaliaSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene236361.68163635.01399996.69Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First Somalia319997.35Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First Somalia79999.34Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First SomaliaXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36437United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtDignity First Somalia (DFS) proposes specialized protection project to enhance access to lifesaving protection services for conflict- and disaster-affected populations in Dinsoor, and Qansax Dheere districts, located in Bay regions. These areas have been significantly impacted by protracted conflict, climate shocks, forced displacement, and a breakdown in social protection systems, placing vulnerable populations—especially children, women, and minority groups—at heightened risk of violence, exploitation, abuse, and neglect.ltbrgtThe project will deliver an integrated package of Gender-Based Violence (GBV), and General Protection services to an estimated 6000 individuals. A significant portion of the target population are internally displaced persons (IDPs), female-headed households, survivors of GBV, and persons with disabilities. These groups continue to face severe barriers to accessing protection services, compounded by stigma and absence of functioning referral systems.ltbrgtInterventions will be delivered by trained protection caseworkers embedded in the community and will be aligned with national SOPs and inter-agency referral pathways.ltbrgtFor GBV prevention and response, DFS will provide specialized case management services to 800 GBV survivors, including psychosocial support, safety planning, and referrals for legal and health services with up to 2,700 individuals. Case management of rape (CMR) will be strengthened by supplying essential kits (PEP) to health facilities in coordination with the Health Cluster and GBV AoR. The project will also integrate cash-based support in GBV case management, allowing survivors to access lifesaving services, relocate when necessary, and mitigate protection risks. GBV services will be survivor-centered, confidential, and adhere to GBV guiding principles.ltbrgtThe General Protection component will serve 2,300 individuals in Qansax Dheere through mobile and static protection desks offering legal assistance, individual protection assistance (IPA), and referrals based on individualized protection assessments. The project will also establish and strengthen community-led protection structures that identify at-risk individuals—especially persons with disabilities and minority groups—and link them with appropriate services. This will enhance community-level protection mechanisms and support self-reliance in emergency contexts.ltbrgtAcross all interventions, DFS will ensure strong community engagement, representation of women and persons with disabilities, and accountability to affected populations. Protection mainstreaming, including disability inclusion, Do No Harm, and PSEA (Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse), will be integral to project design and implementation. DFS will leverage existing networks of social workers, protection actors, and community-based organizations to ensure effective outreach and referral mechanisms.ltbrgtThis project aligns with the 2025 Somalia Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan and contributes to the protection cluster’s objective to reduce protection risks and respond to the urgent needs of conflict-affected and displaced populations.

The project will target 9,600 direct individuals (2,600Women, 3200Girls, 3400 Boys and 400 men). The project will align with Somalia’s IMAM and MIYCAN guidelines and will be delivered in close coordination with the MoH, community leaders, and Area-Based Coordination groups. Standardized Nutrition Cluster monitoring and evaluation tools will be applied to ensure quality, consistency, and accountability. Throughout the project, targeted mapping and inclusive strategies will actively engage marginalized and minority groups, ensuring their meaningful participation and representation. Data will be disaggregated by age, gender, disability, and minority status to monitor inclusion and outcomes. Recruitment will prioritize minority staff to reflect community diversity and enhance program relevance.lt/pgtltpgtCHWs will be trained to conduct routine household-level nutrition screening for children under five and PLWs. This will be supplemented by Family MUAC screening led by caregivers and quarterly mass MUAC and oedema screening campaigns. CHWs will refer children with moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) to TSFP and severe acute malnutrition (SAM) cases to OTPs or stabilization centers managed by partners. CHWs will follow up with referred households to reinforce IYCF messages, monitor progress, and provide counseling support at home. IYCF behavior change efforts will be scaled through 60 group education sessions, 55 care groups, 20 cooking demonstrations, and one-on-one counseling for 2,340 caregivers. Cooking sessions will showcase practical, nutritious recipes like Tom Brown porridge and promote the “One Egg Per Day” initiative.ltbrgtMicronutrient powder (MNP) supplementation will be a key component to address micronutrient deficiencies among young children and PLWs. SOVA will distribute MNP sachets to 1,680 children aged 6–23 months during routine household visits and group sessions, with caregivers receiving training on correct usage and adherence supported through follow-up visits. Concurrently, 760 pregnant and lactating women will receive MNP supplementation paired with tailored maternal nutrition counseling. This dual approach will help reduce anemia, improve nutrient intake, and support healthy growth and development for both children and mothers.ltbrgtTo support vulnerable households with children under five or PLW, SOVA will implement a conditional voucher program distributing USD 60 vouchers redeemable for nutrient-dense foods, two live chickens, and five kilograms of poultry feed. Eligibility will be decided through transparent, community-led processes. Beneficiaries must participate in IYCF education sessions and cooking demonstrations to reinforce behavior change. CHWs and MTMSG members will verify participation through home visits, provide counseling, and promote improved nutrition and hygiene practices. Protection principles such as Do No Harm, confidentiality, and gender inclusion will be integrated, supported by accessible feedback mechanisms and mapped referral pathways for GBV and child protection concerns.lt/pgtltpgtA comprehensive CFM will be implemented to collect around 280 entries through feedback desks, suggestion boxes, and verbal reports to CHWs and MTMSG members. Community sensitization activities using Somali-language materials will increase awareness on safe reporting related to PSEA, PDAD, GBV, and child protection. Five referral pathways—one per village—will link community members to health, protection, legal, and psychosocial services.

The failed Deyr 2024 and projected poor Gu 2025 rains have led to rainfall deficits of 45–60% across Bay Region, severely depleting water sources like shallow wells and surface catchments (berkads) (FAO, 2025 ACAPS, 2025). Seasonal outlooks emphasize significant risks to water and food security, with drought conditions expected to worsen in the coming season (FAO, 2025). The prolonged drought has devastated agro-pastoral livelihoods in Bay Region. According to IPC, 3.4 million people already face crisis or worse food security (IPC 3+), projected to rise to 4.4 million by June 2025 (UNICEF/FAO, 2025). Conflict is compounding the crisis: Bay Region—including Diinsoor—is among the worst affected, with inter-clan violence and armed group activities driving conflict-related displacement (Informer East Africa, 2025 ACAPS, 2025). Over 477,000 people were newly displaced within Somalia in 2024, with Diinsoor ranking as a conflict displacement hotspot. Recent assessments reveal Diinsoor’s WASH situation has deteriorated. Diinsoor is classified among districts facing severe to extreme WASH stress, with traditional water sources such as shallow wells and berkads frequently drying out (WASH Cluster, 2024). Recent humanitarian bulletins note that shallow wells and boreholes have largely failed, prompting sudden surges in trucked water deliveries—sometimes covering over 50% of water needs. During this Gu 2025 and  past Deyr season ( Oct-Nov 2024), rainfall was only 30–45% of average, leading to drying of water points across Bay region and elevated risk of waterborne diseases (HNRP, 2025). The absence of proper latrines not only poses serious public health risks, particularly the spread of cholera and acute watery diarrhea (AWD) but also exposes women and girls to increased protection risks (Protection Cluster, 2024). To address these issues, The project proposes to deliver emergency WASH assistance to drought and conflict-affected communities in Diinsoor through integrated WASH package: (1) Rehabilitation of sustainable water points (one shallow well equipped with solar pumping system and another two  shallow wells equipped with hand pumps, serving 3,000 people), backed by water quality monitoring, testing, basic water treatment and establishing and training of three water management committees (2) Construction of gender segregated sanitation infrastructure, including 65 flood-proof latrines and 10 PwD-accessible units benefiting 2250 people including the PwD, supported by distribution of 100 sanitation kits and 33 clean-up campaigns and (3) Hygiene behavior change initiatives including distribution of 2000 hygiene kits, 32 targeted hygiene promotion campaigns and education sessions at communal and facility level. The project will target vulnerable communities at the rural villages and IDPs. The project aims to improve access to safe water sources, sanitation facilities, and hygiene education for vulnerable communities, particularly women, girls, and persons with disabilities. These integrated WASH interventions will provide immediate lifesaving support to 12,000 vulnerable individuals (3361 women, 3120 girls, 2639 men and 2880 boys) mitigate impact of drought and displacement, reduce waterborne disease transmission, and strengthen community resilience against ongoing climatic shocks.ltbrgtlt/pgtWadajir Rural Development OrganizationWadajir Rural Development OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene180858.09219141.91400000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization320000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization80000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36446United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe humanitarian situation in Somalia continues to be high with a rapidly deteriorating humanitarian situation experienced since the last quarter of 2024 and continuing into 2025.

The project seeks to reduce acute malnutrition and associated mortality among vulnerable populations, particularly children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLWs), through an integrated package of facility- and community-based nutrition services. The intervention will directly target 15,000 individuals across high-need locations, including Jambal Awes, Jileelow, Waberi, Saakow IDP, and Korkamari IDP settlements.ltbrgtThe proposed intervention will respond to the growing humanitarian needs driven by recurrent droughts, flooding, crop failure, and rising food prices, which have weakened household resilience and disrupted access to essential services. A recent nutrition survey conducted by SAMA in March 2025 confirmed a deteriorating food security and nutrition situation in Dinsoor, compounded by the suspension of critical programs due to funding gaps. This project aims to close these gaps and ensure that the most affected communities receive lifesaving nutrition assistance.ltbrgtSAMA will pursue five key outcomes under this project. First, the project will strengthen early detection and referral of acute malnutrition by conducting six rounds of mass MUAC and oedema screening and training 400 caregivers on the Family MUAC approach. Additionally, 20 community health workers (CHWs) will be trained to conduct regular screenings, referrals, and community awareness activities, increasing early identification and access to treatment.ltbrgtSecond, the project will improve access to treatment for severe acute malnutrition (SAM) through two fixed OTP sites and three outreach teams. These teams will operate across five target locations to provide weekly services. SAMA will admit and treat 1,500 children with SAM and refer complicated cases to stabilization centers. The project will also train 26 health and nutrition workers in Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM), incorporating child protection and disability inclusion.ltbrgtThird, the project will promote optimal infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and maternal nutrition practices. SAMA will provide IYCF counseling to 2,500 caregivers, conduct monthly community education sessions, and facilitate cooking demonstrations. The First Foods campaign, promoting one egg per day, will be rolled out alongside the establishment of 24 care groups and training for 40 workers on MIYCAN/IYCF.ltbrgtFourth, SAMA will improve the nutritional status of children and PLWs through micronutrient supplementation. The project will deliver Vitamin A to 3,000 children, distribute MNPs to 2,000 children under two, and provide MMS or iron-folic acid to 3,000 PLWs via fixed and mobile services.ltbrgtFifth, the project will integrate protection throughout all activities. This includes 12 community feedback sessions, training 20 staff on PSEA, GBV, and child protection, and monthly awareness sessions on aid diversion prevention. Market monitoring will help detect and address misuse of supplies.ltbrgtThe project will run from July 2025 to July 2026, with monthly implementation and quarterly supervision. SAMA will coordinate with the Nutrition Cluster and government partners and use standard monitoring tools to ensure timely reporting and quality implementation.ltbrgtlt/pgtSalama Medical AgencySalama Medical AgencySomalia Humanitarian FundNutrition121097.99168899.83289997.82Somalia Humanitarian FundSalama Medical Agency231998.26Somalia Humanitarian FundSalama Medical AgencyXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36465United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe project aims to provide life-saving basic nutrition services, both curative and preventive, to vulnerable communities affected by climatic shocks in the Beledweyne district. The planned project will involve extensive community mobilization and sensitization through community health workers and meetings, aiming to raise awareness about the new program and the services available. Following this, WARDI will train and orient nutrition staff, including community health workers, on the integrated management of acute malnutrition. Additionally, community health workers will receive harmonized community-based training to Promote Maternal, Infant, Young Child, and Adolescent Nutrition (MIYCAN) through nutrition education, which will integrate essential messages about Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), health, and food security.ltbrgtOnce the staff are fully trained, the nutrition team and the community health workers will conduct routine Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) screenings to identify children with acute malnutrition. The target is to screen 24,000 children (12,240 girls and 11,760 boys) and 4,800 Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW). Children diagnosed with severe acute malnutrition (SAM) without medical complications who pass the appetite test will be admitted to the Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP). Those with underlying medical conditions or who fail the appetite test will be referred for stabilization at Beledweyne General Hospital, which has been managed by WARDI since 2017ltbrgtWARDI plans to admit 2,200 children (1,122 girls and 1,078 boys) screened for acute malnutrition, along with 4,800 PLW, and to refer 840 children who have SAM with medical complications to Stabilization center (SC) managed by WARDI for further specialized treatment. Moderate acute malnutrition cases will also be identified through routine screenings and referred to the Targeted Supplementary Feeding Program (TSFP) at the same nutrition sites managed by WARDI and are supported by WFP grants. The proposed sites will also provide primary healthcare services through the Damal Cafimaad project, further strengthening the integration of services. ltbrgtTo anchor prevention activities at both facility and community levels, infant and young child feeding (IYCF) sessions will be initiated, combined mass Muac screening exercise to empower families to prevent and early identify acute malnutrition for prompt intervention. Approximately 3,200 people will have access to IYCF services through routine counseling sessions organized by trained IYCF counselors at the target nutrition sites. Using its technical support for national cold chain management in the Hiran region, WARDI will ensure that all sites deliver routine immunizations while identifying and referring children with serious illnesses. A team of community health workers will be recruited to handle community mobilization, MUAC screenings, tracking defaults for both nutrition and immunization programs, and referring cases of GBV. ltbrgtWARDI will collaborate closely with other stakeholders, including the Ministry of Health (MOH), Hirshabelle Regional Health Authority, and various clusters to ensure proper implementation of the project and that target communities are effectively reached. Furthermore, WARDI will create synergies between its planned nutrition and WASH projects, as well as other initiatives implemented in the target locations. Additionally, nutrition staff will receive IMAM and IYCF training integrated with on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), GBV and child protection to educate the community on how to report and identify such incidents, as well as on preventing Aid Diversion and Gender-Based Violence (GBV).

Protection principles will be integrated throughout to ensure services are delivered safely, respectfully, and inclusively. A four-day training will be conducted for 24 CHWs and IYCF counsellors on key IYCF topics including exclusive breastfeeding, complementary and responsive feeding, and behavior change communication strategies such as the “One Egg Per Child Per Day” campaign. Practical sessions will include culturally appropriate cooking demonstrations using nutrient-rich foods like Tom Brown porridge. A separate two-day training will cover micronutrient supplementation and deworming protocols, including management of deficiencies, distribution, monitoring, reporting, and community engagement. SOHHA will also train 4,000 caregivers and PLW on the Family MUAC approach to support early detection and referral at the household level. Additionally, three rounds of mass MUAC and oedema screening will target 7,600 individuals using KOBO Toolbox for real-time digital data collection.ltbrgtA four-day training for 16 CHWs and 8 IYCF counsellors will further strengthen capacity in screening and referral of acutely malnourished children and PLW, with a focus on practical MUAC use. This training will also integrate protection topics including Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention, child protection, and Prevention of Aid Diversion (PDAD). To enhance community engagement and sustainability, SOHHA will establish 48 care groups comprising 576 members (480 women and 96 men) to lead peer-driven social and behavior change communication (SBCC), organize household-level cooking demonstrations, and conduct culturally appropriate community dramas that promote nutrition and protection awareness. The project will support referrals for 144 children with complicated Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) to stabilization centers, 560 with uncomplicated SAM to outpatient therapeutic programs (OTPs), 2,160 with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) to targeted supplementary feeding programs (TSFPs), and 1,500 acutely malnourished PLW to TSFPs. Micronutrient interventions will include Vitamin A supplementation for 2,550 children under five, MNP distribution to 1,840 children and 896 PLW, and deworming of 2,050 children aged 12–59 months, all delivered through trained staff as part of routine outreach.ltbrgtMonitoring and reporting will be led by the Nutrition Officer, Project Manager, and MEAL team, with data collected by CHWs and IYCF counsellors using Somalia Nutrition Cluster-aligned tools disaggregated by age, gender, and disability. Community feedback will be gathered through hotlines, suggestion boxes, and quarterly dialogues. Real-time data collection using KOBO Toolbox will support evidence-based decision-making. Monthly monitoring and quarterly reviews will be based on referral forms, attendance sheets, and distribution logs. The project will deliver $40 vouchers to 810 vulnerable households, with vendor selection, contracting, targeting, distribution, and verification completed in the first three months. Coordination will occur through participation in national and sub-national Nutrition Cluster meetings, the   area based coordination (ABC) group, and CVA Technical Working Group to ensure alignment and avoid duplication.

These areas have been selected due to high levels of Global Acute Malnutrition, chronic food insecurity, displacement, and limited access to essential services for children under five and pregnant and lactating women. In line with the Somalia Humanitarian Response Plan and Nutrition Cluster priorities, the project aims to prevent malnutrition and promote early detection through locally led interventions that strengthen Infant and Young Child Feeding practices, improve dietary diversity, and expand access to lifesaving nutrition support.ltbrgtA key element of the intervention will be the deployment of 10 trained Community Health Workers, with two stationed per village. They will conduct routine MUAC screening, household visits, follow-up of defaulting cases, and timely referral of children and women to appropriate services. Over 1,200 caregivers will be trained on the Family MUAC approach to ensure early identification of malnutrition and promote prompt care-seeking. CHWs will provide door-to-door services for the delivery of vitamin A supplementation to 2,350 children aged 6 to 59 months and deworming to 2,115 children aged 12 to 59 months. Children  and PLW identified with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) or Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) will be referred to a partner organization for treatment. SAM cases with medical complications will be referred to the stabilization center in Dinsoor.ltbrgtTo promote access to animal-source protein and improve dietary quality, the project will adopt a targeted Conditional Voucher Assistance model. A total of 1,900 vulnerable households will receive USD 40 vouchers redeemable from vetted vendors for a poultry package comprising a male and female chicken, 10 kilograms of poultry feed, and training on backyard poultry rearing. This intervention supports the One Egg Per Day campaign and is a key component of the project’s behavior change strategy. This will be designed to provide households with a sustainable source of protein to improve child nutrition. Voucher eligibility will be determined through a transparent, community-led selection process, ensuring accountability and fairness.ltbrgtBADEF will conduct 25 community-based cooking demonstrations to reinforce improved complementary feeding practices. Each of the five villages will host five sessions targeting both male and female caregivers. Demonstrations will focus on two key components: the preparation of enriched porridge using local cereals and legumes following the Tom Brown method, and practical use of eggs in children’s meals to support the First Foods strategy. These events will be facilitated by care group members, supported by CHWs, and conducted in Somali to ensure accessibility. The project will also form 50 care groups across the target villages: 40 for women and 10 for men. These groups will serve as platforms for peer-to-peer learning, behavior change communication, and ongoing counseling on IYCF, hygiene, and child health.ltbrgtTo promote equity and inclusive service delivery, BADEF will implement a deliberate minority inclusion strategy. This includes targeted mapping to identify marginalized groups in the five target villages and the development of tailored approaches to address their unique needs. Feedback mechanisms will be made accessible through various platforms and inclusive language, and data will be disaggregated by sex, age, and vulnerability to monitor reach and participation. The project will also actively recruit minority staff to reflect community diversity, promote cultural responsiveness, and enhance accountability to affected populations.

Key findings show that 26% of households rely on unsafe drinking water sources, while 69% of IDPs and 51% of host communities lack adequate water for daily needs like drinking, cooking, and washing. A significant portion of the population, particularly 25% of IDPs, continues to depend on surface water, exposing them to waterborne diseases such as cholera and diarrhea.ltbrgtSanitation gaps are equally concerning. 58% of IDPs rely on shared latrines, while only 22% of household's overall use pit latrines, often in poor condition. This lack of safe, private, and accessible sanitation contributes to increased health and protection risks, especially for women, girls, and persons with disabilities. The combined impact of inadequate water access, poor sanitation, and limited hygiene awareness is driving a deteriorating public health situation and worsening community vulnerability.ltbrgtIn response to critical WASH gaps identified in the Qansaxdhere IDP settlements of Bay Region, KRDO proposes a lifesaving, integrated WASH intervention targeting 2083 households (12,500 individuals). This project aims to address both acute humanitarian needs and build resilience through sustainable, community-centered water, sanitation, and hygiene services.ltbrgtTo maximize impact, KRDO will integrate this WASH response with its active Health, Nutrition, Livelihood, and Protection programs and coordinate with key cluster partners including SAMA, ACTED, WASDA, GRRN, ACF, and others working in Qansaxdhere. This sectoral integration will enhance resource efficiency, reinforce public health outcomes, and ensure comprehensive service delivery to the most vulnerable.ltbrgtKey WASH activities include:ltbrgtSupport 10,000 people through rehabilitation of one strategic borehole, upgrading solar-powered pumping systems and installing improved water storage tanks.ltbrgtExtension of piped water networks to health centers, schools, and IDP settlements to increase equitable water access.ltbrgtEstablishment and training of 1 gender-balanced Water Management Committees in collaboration with communities, local authorities, and line ministries to ensure sustainability and community ownership.ltbrgtIn sanitation, KRDO will construct 75 emergency latrines, 15% of which will be disability-friendly, and each equipped with solar lighting for safety and GBV risk reduction.ltbrgtTo promote environmental health, 30 sanitation toolkits will be distributed to community sanitation groups, and conduct 24 solid waste management campaigns.ltbrgtFurthermore, KRDO will conduct 30 hygiene promotion sessions and facilitate the purchase and distribution of 1033 hygiene kits and training of hygiene promoters, project staff on PSEA, conduct post distribution monitoring and baseline assessment. ltbrgtThe intervention fully adheres to SPHERE Standards and Somalia WASH Cluster guidelines, with mainstreamed protection, disability inclusion, and gender sensitivity in line with the IASC GBV guidelines.

A recent health assessment undertaken in April 2025 highlighted the plight faced by the communities to include lack of access to essential health services. The recurrent drought and floods in the area has limited access to health care characterized by poor health indicators among the population most of whom are IDPs. This poor state coupled by weak response by actors calls for an integrated approach targeted at improving access to health services to reducing mortalities and controlling and/or prevent disease outbreaks thus minimizing further displacements. ltbrgtTo address these urgent needs, BADEF proposes a health intervention aimed at delivering integrated, life-saving primary healthcare services to the most vulnerable populations, with a particular focus on women, children, persons with disabilities, and internally displaced persons (IDPs). The intervention is designed to reduce preventable morbidity and mortality through the provision of an essential package of integrated primary healthcare services. These include outpatient consultations, maternal and reproductive health, routine immunization, nutrition screening, management of waterborne and communicable diseases, trauma and emergency care, and specialized services such as gender-based violence (GBV) response and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Patient pathways within supported facilities will be reorganized to systematically identify and respond to the needs of vulnerable populations, including women, children under five, elderly persons, and persons with disabilities.ltbrgtThe project will support one fixed health facility ( Badef Buale Health center an  MCH) and one mobile outreach services to ensure access across hard-to-reach and underserved areas. Core activities will include immunization for children under five and pregnant women, outpatient treatment for common illnesses such as malaria and respiratory infections, reproductive health services including antenatal, delivery, and postnatal care, and screening for malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies. To enhance service coverage, the project will conduct at least 15 mobile outreach sessions per month, targeting rural villages and IDP settlements of Angole Uen, Anole, Arabow, Bandar Jidiid, and Bu Buule.ltbrgtA total of 28,629 individuals are expected to benefit directly from the health services provided. To ensure inclusive and dignified care, the project will equip one health facility with essential medical supplies and disability-friendly infrastructure such as ramps. All frontline health workers will be trained on immunization management of childhood diseases (IMCI), disability inclusion, Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), and referral mechanisms for gender-based violence (GBV) and child protection cases.ltbrgtCommunity engagement will be central to the project. BADEF will work closely with the Ministry of Health, local leaders, and community-based structures to mobilize participation and build ownership. Community feedback mechanisms will be established at all service delivery points to promote accountability and ensure that services remain responsive to community needs.ltbrgtThis project aims not only to reduce preventable illness and death but also to strengthen the resilience of the local health system.

These locations are home to IDPs and vulnerable host communities facing drought, flooding, conflict, displacement, and poor access to essential services. As one of four priority districts under the 2025 SHF Standard Allocation, the intervention will align with SHF’s objectives of life-saving service delivery and integrated response.ltbrgtTo strengthen early detection and treatment of acute malnutrition, BPHCC will engage 14 CHWs, two per village. CHWs will undergo a five-day integrated training covering the IMAM, the Family MUAC approach, and key protection topics including PSEA, AAP, GBV prevention, child protection, and disability inclusion. A separate three-day training on IYCF will build their capacity to deliver nutrition counseling. Trained CHWs will conduct biweekly household visits and train caregivers on Family MUAC to enhance community-based malnutrition screening.ltbrgtMonthly MIYCAN sessions will be conducted in each of the seven villages, promoting exclusive breastfeeding, complementary feeding, dietary diversity, hygiene, and responsive feeding. These sessions will be reinforced by seven care groups—one per village—composed of trained lead mothers. Each lead mother will support neighboring women, creating a peer-to-peer learning model for improved maternal and child nutrition. To enhance household dietary diversity and access to animal-source foods, the project will deliver conditional CVA to 1,712 vulnerable households. Each household will receive a voucher valued at USD 40 to support poultry production under the “One Egg Per Child Per Day” campaign. Vouchers will be redeemable through pre-qualified vendors for chicks, feed, or eggs. Where necessary, in-kind egg donations or poultry support will be provided to care group members lacking poultry assets. Participation in MIYCAN sessions will be mandatory for all CVA recipients, and CHWs will monitor usage and outcomes.ltbrgtThe project will also conduct 28 cooking demonstrations—four per village—delivered in two components. The first will focus on the preparation of enriched nutrient-dense porridge (Tom Brown) using local ingredients. The second will promote egg-based meals, reinforcing the daily inclusion of eggs in children’s diets. Demonstrations will be led by CHWs and care group members to ensure cultural relevance and sustainability.ltbrgtMonitoring and evaluation (ME) will follow Somalia Nutrition Cluster standards. Recent assessments will serve as baselines, and data will be collected monthly using mobile tools, checklists, and interviews. Data will be disaggregated by age, gender, and disability to ensure inclusivity. BPHCC’s ME team and technical staff will oversee data collection and reporting, with quarterly updates submitted to SHF and cluster partners. Community feedback will be gathered via suggestion boxes, home visits, and focus groups to guide adaptive management.ltbrgtProtection and accountability will be fully integrated. CHWs will disseminate AAP principles and manage complaints and feedback mechanisms. BPHCC will coordinate with WARDI to refer 80 children from the stabilization center for child protection and GBV services through the inter-agency referral system.

The key drivers of acute food insecurity include poor rainfall, flooding, conflict and insecurity, high food prices, diseases, and poor access to health services. The worsening of acute malnutrition is driven by the closure of health facilities, suspension of therapeutic and supplementary feeding programmes due to the cumulative effect of reduced funding. Also, the current projections show that it will continue to have a serious level of acute malnutrition into the next session because of poor food security, low average rainfall and the increased burden of drought, floods and other climatic shocks.ltbrgtThe project plan to conduct  screening and identification of acute malnutrition among children under five, pregnant and lactating women  which will include training of community health workers to conduct routine and active case finding of malnutrition cases, promotion of Family/Mother MUAC for mothers and caregivers will be trained to screen their children, quarterly mass MUAC screening in Buale  project locations and screening of newly arrived IDPs in collaboration with CCCM cluster and other  partners, this will further enhance area based coordination and referral of the beneficiaries into different programs optimal nutrition and care practices for mothers, infants and young children will be promoted through a variety of strategies, such as the formation of mother-to-mother support groups, face-to-face counselling from health workers and community health workers, the utilization of interactive media, such as Radio/TV station talk show, community plays and the application of IEC/BCC materials amongst others. Integrating key messaging on topics such as hygiene and sanitation, health, immunization, and other related topics will be a part of the promotion of IYCF. The prevention of malnutrition will also include the promotion and provision of micronutrient supplementation. To ensure that the community owns the project, a variety of strategies that strengthen the accountability of affected people will be implemented. These strategies include community response and feedback sessions, engaging the community through innovative approaches such as telephone surveys and other methods to inform and gather information from the communities that are being targeted.

An estimated 4.6 million people will remain acutely food insecure between April and June 2025, while 1.8 million children will continue to be acutely malnourished, 479,000 of them with severe acute malnutrition until the end of the year. Compared to the same season last year, the current estimate represents a 4% increase in Global Acute Malnutrition and a 9% increase in Severe Acute Malnutrition. The key drivers of acute food insecurity include poor rainfall, flooding, conflict and insecurity, high food prices, diseases and poor access to health services. The worsening of acute malnutrition is driven by the closure of health facilities, suspension of therapeutic and supplementary feeding programmes due to the cumulative effect of access to humanitarian assistance in Buale district.ltbrgtHowever, this project will cover curative and preventative interventions targeting children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women. Both active and passive screening for malnutrition will be conducted primarily at the community level through CHWs and Mother-led MUAC screening and at the health facilities level by nutrition staff. Mother-led mid-upper arm circumference (MUAC) screening approach will be used, where mothers are trained to screen for acute malnutrition in their children by measuring MUAC and testing for edema. Malnourished women and children will be admitted to the relevant OTP or TSFP programs. Complicated cases of SAM will be referred to the stabilization center in Buale health facility. According to MoH guidelines, children and pregnant and lactating women will receive relevant micronutrient supplementation such as iron/folate, Micronutrient powder and tablets deworming and Vitamin A. SORDES will ensure active Community-level mobilization and education, identification of malnourished cases, mass campaigns and follow-ups at homes through nutrition volunteers and outreach/mobile teams would be the hallmark for universal coverage. SORDES will ensure inclusion of minorities and disable group as well as these far hard to reach areas in Buale hence ensuring improved referral and strengthen services utilization among the vulnerable group in Buale district, SORDES shall also endeavor to conduct caregiver’s infant and young child feeding practices, IYCF promotion session for better information dissemination to the caregivers in the project area to ensure proper services delivery at Qodaxley,Horseed, Reebay, Baqdaad,Waberi, Heegan and Halgan mobile nutrition sites and Bula town static nutrition facility will be provided to the hard-to-reach areas.

The project will concentrate on two core components: Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN), and the Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM). Implementation will follow a hybrid approach, combining community-based interventions with facility-based nutrition services.  One fixed Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) site will be established at Towfiiq Health Facility, supported by five outreach sites in Shiidoley, Osmael,ltbrgtAl.amen IDP , Aabay, and Tiirkii villages. KRDO will manage screening, identification, and treatment of uncomplicated severe acute malnutrition (SAM) cases at these sites, while referring complicated SAM and moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) cases to stabilization centers and TSFP sites run by partner organizations. A total of 17 trained nutrition personnel—including 11 facility-based staff and 6 Community Health Workers (CHWs)—will be deployed under the supervision of the Nutrition Project Manager and with technical support from the Nutrition Cluster.  Capacity building will be a cornerstone of the project, with all 17 staff trained on IMAM and MIYCN protocols. The training will also incorporate key cross-cutting themes including Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), Gender-Based Violence (GBV) mitigation and referral pathways, Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), and child protection. CHWs will further be trained to support family MUAC screening, IYCF messaging, and follow-up care, while also ensuring protection principles are upheld during community engagements.ltbrgtSocial and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) efforts will be driven through the formation and support of 60 care groups—10 per village across the six target locations. These groups will lead 120 cooking demonstrations, promoting the preparation of nutrient-rich porridge using the Tom Brown approach and advancing the "One Egg Per Day" campaign. Both initiatives are designed to improve household dietary diversity and child nutrition. In addition, care groups will work to address breastfeeding challenges and increase adoption of optimal MIYCN practices among caregivers.ltbrgtKRDO will ensure the inclusion of minority and other vulnerable populations through targeted mapping and the development of tailored strategies to address their specific needs. Representative committees for minority groups and persons with disabilities (PWDs) will be formed to monitor and report cases of exclusion. Feedback and accountability mechanisms—including suggestion boxes, help desks, and community forums—will be made accessible in inclusive formats and languages. Data will be disaggregated to monitor representation, and minority staff will be actively recruited to foster inclusive programming and community ownership.ltbrgtCoordination with the Nutrition Cluster, protection and GBV actors, community health and WASH partners, and area-based coordination groups will be strengthened to ensure streamlined service delivery and effective referrals.

Ten (3) shallow wells will be rehabilitated. 2 floodproof shallow wells with hand pumps Tuulo Raaxo, Siigaalow) and 1 shallow wells with solar-powered pumps (Deefow west), ensuring safe and accessible water in underserved rural and IDP-populated areas.ltbrgto Sanitation infrastructure: The project will construct 40 gender-sensitive and disability-friendly latrines across schools, health posts, and IDP camps. These latrines will be flood-resistant and include handwashing stations to promote hygiene and reduce disease transmission.ltbrgto Hygiene promotion and supplies: Twenty four community hygiene promoters will be trained to conduct mass campaigns targeting 20,000 people, including house-to-house visits, school outreach, and nutrition/health center education sessions. WARDI will also distribute 500 hygiene kits, including menstrual hygiene items, to high-risk households.ltbrgto Community capacity-building: The project will support and train 9 WASH committees (50% women) to manage water points sustainably, including basic operations and maintenance. Additionally, sanitation sets will be distributed to 10 IDP camps to support environmental health and waste management.ltbrgtThe project takes a protection-integrated approach. Latrine design and placement will prioritize safety, especially for women and girls, with lighting, locks, and strategic locations to prevent gender-based violence. The project will mainstream protection principles by ensuring equitable access, prioritizing feedback mechanisms, and training staff and contractors in Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA). WARDI will coordinate closely with the WASH Cluster, OCHA, local authorities, and community-based structures to ensure complementarity, accountability, and sustainability. The project supports localization by recruiting 60% of staff locally, sourcing materials from local markets, and embedding AAP (accountability to the affected populations) mechanisms such as hotlines and community review meetings managed by women-led groups. Ultimately, the project will restore access to safe water and dignified sanitation, mitigate health and protection risks, and strengthen local preparedness and capacity to respond to future shocks. It offers an integrated, community-driven model that is scalable and aligns with both humanitarian imperatives and long-term resilience goals.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtlt/pgtWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene151648.37248351.67400000.04Somalia Humanitarian FundWARDI Relief and Development Initiatives240000.02Somalia Humanitarian FundWARDI Relief and Development Initiatives160000.02Somalia Humanitarian FundWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36523United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe proposed project aims to deliver immediate, life-saving assistance to vulnerable drought-affected and displaced households in Qansax Dheere, Bay Region—one of four priority districts under the SHF Standard Allocation 1 – 2025.

The latest IPC analysis (April–June 2025) estimates that 4.6 million people—almost one in four Somalis—are facing acute food insecurity at Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4) levels. Additionally, 1.8 million children under five are acutely malnourished, including 479,000 with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM). The failure of successive Gu and Deyr rainy seasons, rising food prices, displacement of over 3 million people, and reduced access to humanitarian aid have worsened the crisis. Malnutrition is being driven by poor feeding practices, high disease prevalence, and limited WASH and health services (IPC).ltbrgtThe Bay Region has been among the worst affected areas. Drought, crop failure, livestock loss, and water scarcity have caused staple food production to drop by more than 60% below the five-year average. Agropastoral households, who depend on rain-fed farming and livestock, have seen their food access and income drastically reduced. GAM rates have exceeded the WHO emergency threshold of 15% in many areas, disproportionately affecting children under five, pregnant and lactating women, and displaced families. Insecurity and logistical barriers have restricted access to health and nutrition services (IPC analysis April-June 2025).ltbrgtQansaxdheere District is facing particularly alarming conditions. Recurrent droughts and erratic rainfall have led to massive crop failure, loss of livestock, and widespread food and water insecurity. Based on IPC report of March 2025 Most households is classified as IPC Phase 3 (Crisis), with 7% of population in Phase 4 (Emergency). Families are resorting to negative coping mechanisms such as selling remaining assets, reducing meals, withdrawing children from school, or engaging in harmful survival strategies like charcoal production. Recent assessments reveal GAM rates above 17% and SAM levels at or above 3%, surpassing emergency thresholds (IPC analysis April-June 2025).ltbrgtContributing factors to this acute crisis include limited dietary diversity, diarrheal diseases, inadequate infant feeding practices, and severely constrained access to nutrition and WASH services. The scarcity of therapeutic feeding programs and inadequate infrastructure further deepen vulnerabilities (IPC). lt/pgtltpgtThe  project intervention includes: Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT): 240 elderly, disabled and marginalized households will receive monthly cash for three months to meet urgent needs. The UCT will target 420 disabled beneficiariesltbrgtConditional Cash Transfers (CCT): 960 households will participate in CfW activities focused on the rehabilitation of community catchments over a three-month period. lt/pgtltpgtWater Infrastructure Rehabilitation: The restoration of 5 pans will address both immediate income needs and long-term water security, supporting agriculture, livestock, and domestic water use while reducing distress migration and environmental degradation.ltbrgtTraining of WMC: Committees will be trained in sustainable water management, governance, conflict resolution, and inclusivity to ensure ownership and sustainability of water infrastructure.ltbrgtMobile money will be used for cash distribution, offering a secure, fast, and cost-effective method that empowers households to prioritize their own needs and strengthens local markets. This approach offers an effective solution to both immediate humanitarian needs and longer-term resilience building.

The project addresses persistently high levels of acute malnutrition, micronutrient deficiencies, and suboptimal IYCF practices among vulnerable populations, particularly children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLW). Aligned with Somalia’s national IMAM and MIYCN protocols and Nutrition Cluster priorities, the project integrates curative and preventive interventions. Children aged 6–59 months with uncomplicated SAM will receive treatment at ADA-supported Outpatient Therapeutic Program (OTP) sites managed by two teams: one based at a static facility and the other delivering services to six outreach sites using a a rented project vehicle. Complicated SAM and MAM cases will be referred to stabilization centers and TSFPs, respectively, managed by partner organizations. ADA will facilitate stabilization center referrals using an ambulance. Cases will be identified through CHW active case finding, family MUAC,  three round of mass MUAC screening and inter-program referrals.ltbrgtThe preventive component emphasizes optimal MIYCN practices through a Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) approach anchored mainly on the care group model. Seventy care groups—comprising 56 women and 14 men, each with 12 members—will be formed. Trained Community Health Workers (CHWs) and nutrition workers will conduct household counseling and group education sessions using UNICEF IYCF counseling cards at facilities and in the community, enriched with culturally tailored content. To enhance local food use and diversity, the project will facilitate 70 cooking demonstrations featuring recipes for Tom Brown porridge and spearhead the One Egg Per Child Per Day campaign. To combat micronutrient deficiencies, the project will reach 1,250 children (6–59 months) with Vitamin A supplementation, 850 children with deworming medication, and 850 children (6–23 months) with Micronutrient Powders (MNPs). Additionally, 900 PLW will receive Iron-Folic Acid or Multiple Micronutrient Supplements (MMS), complemented by individualized follow-up and counselling by CHWs. All commodities will be sourced from the Ministry of Health and UNICEF.ltbrgtAn innovative aspect of this intervention is the distribution of conditional, restricted vouchers worth USD 50 to 800 vulnerable households, prioritizing families with children 6–59 months and/or PLW affected by malnutrition, especially those with SAM. Vouchers will be redeemable for two chickens, one tray of eggs, 5kg of chicken feed, and ingredients for Tom Brown porridge (5kg maize flour, 2kg roasted groundnuts, 1.5kg powdered milk, and 1kg sugar). This package is nutritionally calibrated to meet a child’s dietary needs and promote sustained nutrition at the household level. Households will also receive practical training in poultry care and food preparation to ensure proper utilization of the support provided and encourage long-term dietary improvements. Protection mainstreaming will be embedded throughout the project cycle, including training of staff, safe and confidential targeting, establishment of complaints and feedback mechanisms, and prioritized support to high-risk and marginalized groups. 14 community engagement sessions will be held.ltbrgtTo reinforce local ownership and service quality, 26 frontline workers (13 women, 13 men) will be trained on MIYCN, Vitamin A, deworming, and MNP protocols, as well as MIYCN and IMAM. These trainings will be synchronized with other project activities for comprehensive capacity strengthening. Cluster me tools will be used for data collection disaggregated in age, gender and other physiological status.

Qansax Dheere continues to face persistently high levels of acute malnutrition, compounded by limited nutrition services and recurring climatic and socio-economic shocks that weaken household food security and resilience.ltbrgtThe project will provide life-saving preventive and curative nutrition services for children under five and PLW. Services will be delivered through one Stabilization Centre (SC) at Ahmed Gurey Health Centre, two fixed Outpatient Therapeutic Programme (OTP) sites at Ahmed Gurey and Busley, and two mobile OTP teams serving Wadajir MCH, Korinbod, and October OTP. Nutrition commodities, including Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), therapeutic milks F-75 and F-100, and essential medicines will be obtained from UNICEF to ensure a consistent supply chain.ltbrgtEarly identification and referral of malnutrition cases will be strengthened through trained Community Health Workers (CHWs) and the Family MUAC approach, which empowers caregivers to detect malnutrition at home. Quarterly mass MUAC and edema screenings will be conducted using the Nutrition Cluster’s Kobo Toolbox platform. These efforts will be aimed at achieving zero Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) cases across the targeted communities through strengthened early detection and timely referral systems.ltbrgtSAM with and without medical complications will be treated at URRO-run Stabilization Centre and OTP sites. Children with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) will be treated at URRO OTP sites using the Expanded Admission Criteria (EAC), while MAM-affected PLW will be referred to partner-managed sites for treatment.ltbrgtTo address the root causes of malnutrition, the project will integrate Maternal, Infant, Young Child, and Adolescent Nutrition (MIYCAN) through Care Groups and structured behavior change communication. Key messages will promote breastfeeding, hygiene, WASH, and household food security. Prevention will take a Social and Behaviour Change Communication (SBCC) approach centered around the promotion of Tom Brown porridge and the One Egg Per Day campaign to improve the nutritional status of children and PLW. This will be complemented by micronutrient supplementation to prevent and treat micronutrient deficiencies.ltbrgtThe project will prioritize inclusion of marginalized and minority populations through targeted mapping and needs assessment. Efforts will be made to ensure meaningful participation through accessible feedback channels, inclusive language, and the recruitment of minority staff. Disaggregated data will be used to monitor and evaluate the reach and effectiveness of inclusive strategies.ltbrgtProtection will be integrated heavily throughout the project, with a strong focus on voucher-based support being delivered transparently to the most in need. Information will be widely disseminated on the available complaints and feedback mechanisms. Community-based structures and committees will be engaged as part of local coping capacity to respond to protection risks, particularly risks of exclusion and marginalization. Roles and responsibilities of gatekeepers—especially around PSEA—will be clearly defined and formalized through community agreements that limit their influence over aid access and reduce the risk of abuse or favoritism.ltbrgtAdditional protection mainstreaming components include GBV risk mitigation, child protection, inclusion of PWDs and minorities, and prevention of post-distribution aid diversion (PDAD). GBV and protection risk assessments will be conducted for caregivers of admitted children, with psychosocial support and referrals to legal aid, case management, and healthcare services facilitated. Confidential and accessible complaint and feedback mechanisms will support community accountability and ongoing program adaptation.ltbrgtlt/pgtUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundNutrition129446.34180543.57309989.91Somalia Humanitarian FundUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation Organization247991.93Somalia Humanitarian FundUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36543United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAs of early 2025, humanitarian situation in Somalia remained deeply concerning, characterized by sustained malnutrition, disease outbreaks, and fragile healthcare access. Approximately 3.4 million people were already experiencing IPC Phase 3 and worse by the beginning of January 2025. Bay Region is classified in IPC Phase 3–4 through mid-2025, signaling crisis to emergency food insecurity levels. ( fsnau.org). Ongoing La Niña–linked droughts and persistent funding gaps have kept malnutrition at “Serious to Critical” levels in Bay Region. ltspangtThe project was designed to address the critical health needs identified in the Rapid Needs Assessment conducted in Qansax Dheere bylt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtOCHA and partners from 2–3 March 2025. The assessment revealed that only 3% of the population had access to functional health services, while a staggering 71% of women in labor were unable to reach a health facility. As a result, many mothers tragically die on the road while attempting to access care, highlighting severe gaps in maternal and RH services. The situation is further exacerbated by widespread disease outbreaks, with acute watery diarrhea (97%), malaria (58%), and respiratory infections (35%) reported as leading causes of illness and death. The facilities will include: Qasaxdhere health Centre and Mobile sites in the IDPs of Tiirka, Mubarak, Loforar, Buulo Abag, Xafito and Manyow. Additionally, the assessment identified PLW, the elderly and individuals with disabilities as the most vulnerable groups in urgent need of targeted health interventions. The limited availability of antenatal, delivery, and postnatal services, alongside the lack of structured pathways to identify and refer vulnerable individuals, revealed a pressing need to reorganize patient flow systems and scale up integrated outreach efforts. The proposed project will support 1 static health facility and 2 mobile centers in the Qasaxdhere district. CRPD plans to deliver an integrated package of promotive, preventive, and curative maternal, newborn child health services and scale-up outbreak early warning and response and case management of epidemic-prone diseases through the mobile response team as part of the efforts to support the drought-affected communities in Qasaxdhere.

The project aims to provide WASH services to up to 10,000 people across 4 IDP settlements and 2 host community  villages, including Guudlaawe, Bilis diid, shabelle , Kunaso  cadeley and hiran billa. Key interventions will include emthe extension of piping networks to a borehole in Baladweyn village, serving multiple IDP settlements. The project will also construct 4 water kiosks to facilitate water distribution and coordination. Additionally, PMWDO will implement water treatment measures, including the provision of aqua tabs and chlorination of communal water sources in AWD/Cholera hotspots. In the 4 IDP settlements, 54 emergency latrines will be installed, with 15% designed to be accessible for persons with disabilities (PwDs). Mass hygiene promotion campaigns will target all settlements, educating the community on preventive measures against water-related diseases. Hygiene kits, including standard menstrual hygiene management (MHM) sets, will be distributed to 1000 households, particularly benefiting pregnant and lactating mothers and children with malnutrition. Furthermore, 22 sets of sanitation tools will be provided to support solid waste management and cleanup efforts in the targeted areas. This comprehensive WASH response, addressing the challenges identified in the HNRP such as inadequate access to safe water and suitable living space, will operate over six months, directly benefiting vulnerable populations in Baladweyn as they cope with severe drought conditions and associated health risks.

According to the HNRP 2025 “it is determined that there are 9.1 million Somalis affected by the humanitarian crisis. 47% of the population are affected by conflict, floods, drought, outbreaks (AWD/Cholera, measles) and displacement that disrupt lives and livelihoods, resulting in humanitarian needs”.ltbrgtIrregular rainfall patterns, exacerbated by the climate crisis, have led to successive cycles of drought and flash floods—most recently influenced by La Niña events. These conditions have decimated pastoral and agricultural livelihoods, leaving households with minimal to no income and pushing families into a state of chronic food and water insecurity. ltbrgtHRNP “During October and November 2024, southern and central Somalia received only 30 to 45 per cent of average cumulative rainfall. 10 Reduced rainfall during the Deyr season (October to December), linked to La Niña conditions decreased local food production and availability".ltbrgtQansaxdheere district faces 15 years of siege, limited aid, and near-total collapse of health services, with severe shortages in staff and supplies. Schools are non-functional or lack gender-sensitive sanitation and clean water—essential for inclusive and dignified education, particularly for girls. Displacement has become a survival strategy. Families are abandoning their ancestral lands and livelihoods, seeking refuge in overcrowded and underserved internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in urban centers. These camps, however, offer little reprieve. They are marked by inadequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services. Open defecation is widespread, clean drinking water is virtually inaccessible, and hygiene kits are scarce. Contamination risks are extremely high, particularly in densely populated areas, elevating the threat of cholera, diarrhea, and other waterborne diseases. Forced evictions affected 154,000 IDPs in Somalia by November 2024, with 93% of all evictions occurring in urban areas of Banadir, Bay, and Wogooyi Galbeed (HRNP Report). Women and girls face heightened risks due to unsafe sanitation, lack of menstrual hygiene materials, and exposure to gender-based violence, including CRSV and forced marriages to Al-Shabaab. Poor waste management further increases health risks and environmental degradation in both rural and displaced communities.ltbrgtKAAH will provide inclusive and sustained WASH support in Qansaxdheere by rehabilitating the Howlaha-guud borehole to improve water pumping, storage, and distribution systems and the two boreholes will provide safe water supply for more than 5,000 vulnerable affected communities in Qansaxdhere district. A total of 70 gender-sensitive and accessible latrines will be constructed, including 12 specifically designed for persons with disabilities (PWDs). Additionally, 24 community cleanup campaigns and 24 hygiene promotion sessions will be conducted, reaching approximately 12,000 people. These sessions will be supported by the distribution of 1,000 hygiene kits to improve the well-being of the climatic shock affected communities.

In addition, three water kiosk will be constructed and linked to borehole  through an extension pipeline to serve Villages and settlements. The project will also improve access to safe sanitation facilities through construction of 26  culturally appropriate, disability friendly and gender segregated latrines targeting 600 individuals   in  Bant, Bula Galole and Waraha Dhobley Settlements . To enhance safe sanitation practices, the project will engage 15 (9 male and 6 female) community hygiene promoters (CHP)  to conduct hygiene promotion campaigns focusing on hand washing with soap. To ensure sustainability of the water access and continued uptake of handwashing practices to promote hygiene practices, Jubba Foundation will conduct capacity building to the selected 15 CHPs and training 15 (9 male and 6 female) water management committees’ members on operation and  maintenance of the established water kiosks. The project will adopt a market-based programme (MBP) approach to deliver essential WASH goods and services by utilizing the functional market in Buale District which also act as the business hub for the District to provide relief and basic services through purchase of goods in the local market, source of local contractors and supporting demand through vouchers. The MPB approach will therefore ensure appropriateness and dignity by allowing targeted affected populations to purchase according to their needs and preferences and improve efficiency of programme delivery by using existing supply chains can be cost-effective, reduce duplication and provide supplies quicker through market actors who are already present. Through close coordination with WASH and protection clusters, the project will contribute to an integrated and accountable response that meets immediate humanitarian needs while laying the foundation for more resilient, inclusive services in Buale District.ltbrgtlt/pgtJuba FoundationJuba FoundationSomalia Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene146153.85253846.15400000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundJuba Foundation240000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundJuba FoundationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36562United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe proposed intervention by HIRDA (Himilo Relief and Development Association), funded by the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF), aims to deliver integrated life-saving food assistance to highly vulnerable and underserved communities in Dinsoor district, Bay region of South West State, Somalia. The target population, currently in IPC Phases 3 and 4, faces critical food insecurity exacerbated by conflict, drought, displacement, and limited humanitarian access.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtDinsoor has been under the control of non-state actors for over seven years, with extreme insecurity and poor road infrastructure making it a red zone for humanitarian operations. The district has experienced repeated crop failures, market access restrictions, and large-scale displacement, leading to heightened vulnerability and eroded resilience. Thousands of households lack food, income, and access to essential services.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe intervention responds directly to SHF’s strategic objective to reach hard-to-access, underserved rural areas with timely, life-saving support. It includes two core components, supplemented with protection mainstreaming, community engagement, and accountability mechanisms.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt1. Provision of Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT):ltbrgtHIRDA will support 1,091 vulnerable households—primarily IDPs, female-headed households, families with malnourished children, persons with disabilities, and poor host communities—through monthly unconditional cash assistance of $55 per household over three months. Transfers will be delivered through Hormuud’s EVC Plus mobile money platform, widely used in Dinsoor. This flexible modality supports local market recovery, allows beneficiary choice, and preserves dignity. Beneficiaries will be identified using a vulnerability-based targeting approach and registered using the standardized Single Registration Form. A referral mechanism will also be established to link households to additional sector-specific support where needed.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt2. Provision of Emergency Conditional Cash Transfers (CCT) through Cash-for-Work (CfW):ltbrgtTo strengthen community resilience and promote early recovery, 1,091 households will receive cash assistance over two months in return for participation in labor-intensive activities focused on rehabilitating feeder roads. These roads are vital for improving access to markets, services, and humanitarian assistance. The CfW component also boosts local employment and injects income into the community. Work will be coordinated with local labor supervisors and community leaders, ensuring adherence to safety protocols, equitable participation (including by women), and fair labor practices. Activities will accommodate physical capacity differences and ensure inclusive participation. Attendance will be monitored daily and verified for payment.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtImpact and Importance of the Project:ltbrgtThis intervention will have a significant impact on a chronically underserved district. UCTs empower families to meet their own needs, restore dignity, and reduce dependency, while CfW activities enhance community infrastructure and long-term food security. The dual approach offers both immediate humanitarian relief and early recovery, making it sustainable and impactful.ltbrgtThe project also incorporates key cross-cutting priorities:ltbrgt Gender and protection mainstreaming: Distribution points will be safe and accessible for women and girls. Special attention will be given to female-headed households and marginalized groups.ltbrgt Community participation and accountability: Relief committees will be involved in targeting, complaint handling, and monitoring. Community feedback mechanisms will be used throughout the project cycle.ltbrgt Operational readiness and access: HIRDA will rely on its existing presence, use local staff familiar with the context, and coordinate with local authorities to navigate access and security risks. Pre-positioning and use of mobile money will enhance speed and efficiency.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtHimilo Relief and Development AssociationHimilo Relief and Development AssociationSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security216091.47213248.17429339.64Somalia Humanitarian FundHimilo Relief and Development Association343471.71Somalia Humanitarian FundHimilo Relief and Development Association85867.93Somalia Humanitarian FundHimilo Relief and Development AssociationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-36573United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtDaryeel Bulsho Guud (DBG) proposes a 10-month WASH intervention to address urgent humanitarian needs among internally displaced persons (IDPs) and flood-affected rural populations in Beletweyne District, Hiraan Region.

In order to respond to this crisis, the Rural Development Support Agency (RDSA) will innovatively implement community-led and participatory lifesaving Unconditional Cash Transfers (UCT) plus agricultural inputs to (cash+ approach) to ensure vulnerable households’ immediate availability and access to food while also enabling them to produce locally and secure harvest/food stocks, sustain animal health and boost livestock production, and avert further livelihood assets depletion. These activities will be implemented in accordance with humanitarian and protection principles, with a significant focus on mainstreaming protection and inclusion for the most vulnerable displaced people due to the climate crisis in Beletweyne and surrounding villages. RDSA project in these locations will focus on under-served displacement sites and rural villages to improve access to unconditional multipurpose cash services to yield context-relevant and needs-driven emergency livelihood opportunities for affected communities. ltbrgtIn this project, RDSA aims to mitigate further depletion of existing livelihoods owned by vulnerable community members and mitigate displacement at the community level by injecting cash and agricultural support activities. As part of RDSA’s strategy and that the allocation of community ownership and sustainability will be enhanced through community participation and capacity-building Therefore, in all project locations, RDSA will form and train 10 community members (6 women and 5 men) as the village Response and conflict management committee – VRCMC, who will support the project implementation and monitoring. In addition, RDSA will disperse 304,500.00 USD unconditional cash to 1,450 (8,700) individuals of whom 70% are PWD, women-headed, child-headed, and minority communities. ltbrgtIn this project, RDSA, in consultation with community members, will map out vulnerable households with livelihood activities at the edge of depletion and advise them to take advantage of cash transfers. RDSA has carried out a survey for this project to help RDSA understand the capacities of the community to design context-appropriate livelihood opportunities and the Agricultural inputs approach. RDSA will mobilize communities to form self-help groups who, on their own initiative, will rehabilitate irrigation canals to extend water for farms in water-scarce locations. Additionally, in consultation with community members, RDSA will purchase basic farming tools to facilitate planting and harvesting for farmers from disabled, women and child-headed households, minorities, and marginalized families. RDSA will conduct market assessments to inform food and cash assistance transfer modalities within target locations 3 PDMs will be conducted after every transfer to ensure beneficiary satisfaction, feedback, and transfer impact is documented.

These recurring climate shocks have overwhelmed coping capacities and deepened vulnerability, particularly in southern areas like Buale district in Middle Juba. In recent months, flooding and drought have displaced thousands, damaged livelihoods, and severely disrupted access to basic services. Forecasts for the upcoming Hagaa season (June–August 2025) predict above-normal rainfall, increasing risks to public health and WASH systems in the area.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThis project, implemented by Lifeline Gedo (LLG), aims to improve inclusive and equitable access to lifesaving Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) services for displaced and vulnerable communities in Buale. These populations face overlapping crises including displacement, food insecurity, disease outbreaks, and disrupted services. Current estimates indicate increasing displacement due to drought and floods, while WASH needs remain critical due to lack of safe water, inadequate sanitation, contamination of water sources, and limited hygiene awareness—factors that exacerbate malnutrition and waterborne diseases.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtAlthough humanitarian efforts have been reprioritized due to funding constraints, Buale remains a priority district under the 2025 Humanitarian Needs Response Plan (HNRP) and is classified as IPC Phase 4, reflecting severe food insecurity and acute malnutrition. Closure of health and nutrition facilities has reduced access to essential care, underscoring the need for preventive WASH interventions to curb disease and protect vulnerable groups.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project will prioritize displaced households, minority and marginalized groups, persons with disabilities (PWDs), older persons, and female-headed households. It adopts gender-sensitive and inclusive approaches to ensure meaningful participation of women and persons with specific needs. Protection mainstreaming will address barriers to access, risks of exploitation, and harmful coping mechanisms such as child marriage and gender-based violence during water collection.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtKey interventions by LLG include:ltbrgt- Rehabilitation, protection, and equipping of strategic water sources (pumps, elevated tanks, distribution networks) serving rural communities, schools, health and nutrition centers, and IDPs.ltbrgt- Extension and improvement of existing water supply systems including piping, pumping, water tanks, and kiosks.ltbrgt- Construction of new emergency latrines, including PWD-friendly facilities, with handwashing stations for vulnerable IDPs and host communities.ltbrgt- Construction of animal troughs for shoats and camels to reduce pressure on human water points.ltbrgt- Strengthening of community ownership and sustainability mechanisms, including formal agreements, oversight arrangements, and hands-on caretaker orientation during system installation and commissioning.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThis project aligns with the 2025 HNRP priorities in WASH, Health, Nutrition, and Food Security, and coordinates closely with the Protection Cluster and relevant Areas of Responsibility (AoRs) to ensure access to specialized services including GBV and child protection case management.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtWhile large-scale hygiene promotion and community training sessions were discontinued due to security and access constraints, Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP) mechanisms remain functional, ensuring continued access to information, feedback, and complaint channels.

One of the most alarming consequences has been the surge in recruitment and use of children by armed actors both by extremist groups and occasionally by local militias mobilized to support operations. Boys, especially adolescents aged 13 to 17, are targeted for combat roles, spying, logistical support, and indoctrination. Girls are often subjected to gender-based violence and used for forced labor or marriage within armed groups. Clan militias, despite their community-based nature, have also been reported to mobilize underage boys under the guise of local defense.ltbrgtThis integrated Child Protection project targets 3,000 conflict-affected children in Beletweyne, Hiraan region, with community-based services including case management, psychosocial support (PSS), family tracing and reunification (FTR), and community-based reintegration of Children Associated with Armed Forces and Armed Groups (CAFAAG).

The project will deliver life-saving assistance to the most vulnerable communities, addressing the worsening impacts of drought and reducing displacement risks. Baydhaba, one of 32 districts reprioritized under the HNRP 2025, hosts the second-largest IDP caseload in Somalia and contains pockets of acute vulnerability, particularly in rural areas with limited humanitarian access. Without timely intervention, households will face increased displacement toward urban centers, creating further displacement cycles and additional strain on overstretched service delivery hubs. lt/pgtltpgtThe project will target underserved rural populations with urgent humanitarian needs, prevent avoidable displacement through area-based, origin-focused interventions, and strengthen community engagement and collaboration with government actors to ensure equitable and accountable distribution of resources. The integrated multi-sectoral approach  will be essential to address the complex and interrelated needs of communities, combining interventions across nutrition, health, WASH, protection, and livelihoods to maximize life-saving impact and resilience. Guided by the Flagship Initiative strategy, this proposed project will implement activities based on the recommendations of the Baydhaba Area-Based Coordination (ABC) following initial community consultations conducted in the first phase of the allocation strategy. This approach has ensure that crisis-affected communities in the target villages remain at the center of the response. Programming will be anchored in community-defined priorities to maximize relevance and impact, reframing assistance from the ground up. By integrating multiple sectors, the project will respond holistically to immediate humanitarian needs while addressing underlying vulnerabilities, enabling communities to recover, strengthen resilience, and reduce reliance on repeated emergency interventions.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtProtection will be fully mainstreamed throughout the project cycle. HRDO will ensure the inclusive participation of women, persons with disabilities, and marginalized groups, while mitigating risks of abuse, exploitation (including SEA), GBV, and neglect. Inclusive access will be promoted through mobile services, equitable information dissemination, targeted advocacy, and vulnerability-based targeting with reinforced safeguards. HRDO will build local capacity, strengthen referral systems, and coordinate with GBV actors identified in Baydhaba to support survivors of abuse and displacement. Robust coordination and reporting mechanisms will underpin the project, with HRDO leading monitoring alongside ABC structures and OCHA’s Field Coordination Unit (FCU). Monitoring and evaluation tools will be from relevant clusters and line ministries, with digital reporting/tools applied where feasible. Activities will include joint field visits, quarterly progress reviews, and after-action learning reviews, ensuring adaptive programming aligned with national cluster systems and ministry frameworks to reinforce accountability, transparency, and quality across all components.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtHRDO has worked in Baydhaba for the past 12 years, accumulating extensive knowledge and experience in implementing humanitarian and development projects across the district.

According to the FSNAU IPC analysis for April–June 2025,  Community engagement report of Dec-2025, more than 53% of the rural population is classified in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis) or above, with over 33,000 people experiencing acute food insecurity. These compounding shocks have significantly eroded household coping capacities, depleted productive assets, and increased protection risks, particularly for women, children, persons with disabilities, and minority groups. Women especially pregnant and lactating mothers are at heightened risk of malnutrition, while boys and girls are increasingly exposed to child labor, early marriage, and other harmful coping strategies. ltbrgtThe project aims to reduce vulnerability and combat severe food insecurity by improving immediate access to food for 605 vulnerable households, representing 3,630 people in IPC Phase 3 and above, through emergency Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) delivered in a protection-sensitive and community-led manner. The intervention will reach internally displaced persons and vulnerable host community members, with women comprising 55% of beneficiaries and children accounting for 65%. Approximately 363 persons with disabilities will be included. Priority will be given to female-headed households, families with malnourished children, pregnant and lactating women, persons with disabilities, elderly-headed households, and households that have lost assets due to drought or flooding.ltbrgtBy the end of the project, 605  households including 700 women, 260men, 910 boys, and 1760  girls are expected to demonstrate improved food consumption scores and reduced reliance on negative coping strategies. The intervention will contribute directly to Food Security Cluster objectives by ensuring dignified, equitable, and timely access to food through cash-based assistance, while also strengthening protection outcomes for women, girls, boys, and persons with disabilities. Himilo Organization for Development (HoD) will coordinate closely with the Food Security Cluster, OCHA, ABC structures, and local authorities to avoid duplication and ensure harmonized implementation. Risks related to access, security, and financial management will be mitigated through strong community acceptance, flexible planning, SHF-compliant systems, and regular monitoring. Overall, the project provides a timely, life-saving response to acute food insecurity in Jamame District by combining emergency cash assistance with strong protection measures, accountability, and community ownership to stabilize vulnerable households and prevent further deterioration of the humanitarian situation.ltbrgtTo achieve the stated objective and outcomes, HoD will undertake a series of integrated activities. These include training HoD staff on Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA) prevention, organizational codes of conduct, safeguarding principles, accountability mechanisms, and survivor-centered approaches. HoD will also conduct 4 community mobilization meetings, beginning with consultations with local authorities as the primary entry point, followed by engagement with community members and prospective beneficiaries in Sinkaleer,  Barka and Towfiiq villages of Jamame District. These meetings will facilitate the establishment of a Community Project Committee (CPC) comprising 15 members, with each village represented by five members, including two women and three men. In addition, HoD will conduct an intensive two-day training for CPC members and designated community SEA focal points to strengthen community-level prevention and response to SEA.

Communities consistently reported that education services have been largely non-functional since early 2024 due to flooding, repeated climate shocks and the termination of previous support. Barka and Farwamo currently have no functional schools, while Singaler and Wirkoy have flood-damaged but recoverable infrastructure. As a result, hundreds of vulnerable school-aged children remain out of school, facing heightened risks of child labour, early marriage and permanent dropout.  In response, the project will address critical, community-identified needs in the four villages through an integrated Education in Emergencies (EiE) and emergency shelter. ltbrgtThe EiE component will restore access to safe, inclusive, and protective learning environments for 700 crisis-affected school-aged children (250 girls, 450 boys) by constructing 8 temporary learning spaces (TLS) in Barka (4) and  Farwamo (4) and rehabilitating 8 flood-damaged classrooms in Singaler(4) and Wirkoy (4). 8 latrines will be constructed in Farwamo and Barka, and 8 latrines rehabilitated in Wirkoy and Singalyer. All latrines will be gender segregated. Water tanks will also be rehabilitated for water storage in Farwamo and Baarka. The project will distribute essential individual learning materials to 700 crisis-affected learners to enable immediate participation in formal education. Distribution will be coordinated with school reopening.  Teaching materials and school furniture will also be provided to all 4 schools. Training will be provided to 20 teachers on EiE, inclusive and gender-responsive pedagogy, curriculum delivery, learner assessment and basic psychosocial support. Training will be facilitated by qualified trainers in coordination with the MoE and will strengthen teaching quality, learner protection and education continuity in crisis-affected settings.  All the 16 teachers and 4 headteachers across the four supported schools will be supported with incentives for the duration of the project to ensure continuity of education services. Incentives will support teacher retention, regular attendance and sustained school operation where no alternative salary mechanisms exist.  A five-member committee will be established per school and provided with on-site orientation sessions on oversight,  governance and resource mobilisation to strengthen community ownership, accountability, and sustainability. To improve learner retention and enrolment, the project will provide safe, treated drinking water for 700 pupils and 20 teachers, at a rate of 3 litres per person per day, for a duration of 160 days ( 8 Months).  Additionally, 250 adolescent girls will receive dignity kits for five months, supporting menstrual hygiene management, school attendance  girls’ dignity in line with cluster protection and gender priorities. The project will establish school-level safeguarding mechanisms in all supported schools, including Codes of Conduct, safe and confidential complaint and feedback mechanisms, and referral pathways linked to existing child protection and GBV services. Teachers and committee members will be oriented on child safeguarding and PSEA to ensure learning environments are safe and protective.ltbrgtThe shelter component aims to improve living conditions and dignity for vulnerable households affected by floods and climate shocks. This will be achieved by providing 90 emergency shelter kits (ESK) to vulnerable households particulary the displaced and protection-risk families.

Between October and November 2025, ASEP (a National CSO) facilitated CE sessions in 10 villages across Jowhar. Each village underwent a three day participatory cycle involving storytelling, resource mapping, issue ranking, capacity mapping, and validation with Area Based Coordination (ABC) members. This process produced detailed Community Action Plans that reflect the lived experiences, capacities, and priorities of diverse groups including women, youth, elders, minority clans, and persons with disabilities.ltbrgtThe CE findings highlight recurrent flooding, crop loss, and service gaps as the most pressing challenges. Health services were prioritized in six villages, with communities calling for the rehabilitation or expansion of health facilities, provision of medicines, and maternal and child health support. The project will directly respond to these communities validated priorities by implementing integrated lifesaving interventions across Health and Nutrition, while reducing risks of exclusion, exploitation, and abuse.ltbrgtThe project will target five (5) flood-prone riverine villages including Barrow-weyne, Bulo-Waraay, Bayaxow, Lebiga, and Shiidla Bari, reaching an estimated population of over 35,580 people (11029 woman 8895 men, 8539 girls, 7116 boys). Activities will focus on the immediate restoration of life-saving health and nutrition services through outreach and static service delivery, while supporting early recovery by re-establishing functional primary health care at community level.ltbrgtOur interventions will include the rehabilitation, construction and equipping of three (3) health facilities and two outreach service points across the target locations in the District to restore access to medical consultations, maternal and child health services, and treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Communities prioritized strengthening Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices and integrated management of childhood illnesses, which will be addressed through facility based services and outreach. with deliberate inclusion of women, youth, minority clans, and persons with disabilities to ensure equitable access. By grounding these activities in community validated action plans, the project will strengthen local ownership, reduce health risks, and build resilience, while contributing directly to the 2026 Somalia Humanitarian Response and Needs Plan (HRNP) and demonstrating the Flagship Initiative’s community driven model of humanitarian action.ltbrgtThe project will adopt a community first approach, ensuring continuity of engagement throughout implementation. Communities will remain actively involved in monitoring progress, adapting plans, and sustaining dialogue with ABC structures. Protection and inclusion principles will be mainstreamed. A baseline assessment will be conducted at the outset to capture the current health and nutrition status of communities in the five target villages (Lebiga, Barrow Weyne, Shiidla Bari, Bayaxow, and Bulo Waraay). This baseline will provide evidence on service gaps, community priorities, and existing coping mechanisms, ensuring that interventions are tailored to local realities and measurable progress can be tracked over time.  Finally, an endline assessment will be conducted at the conclusion of the project to measure changes in health and nutrition outcomes, assess the effectiveness of interventions, and capture lessons learned.ltbrgtlt/pgtWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesSomalia Humanitarian FundHealthNutrition356043.9643956.04400000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWARDI Relief and Development Initiatives320000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWARDI Relief and Development InitiativesXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-37132United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtSomalia’s humanitarian situation remains fragile following the cumulative impacts of the 2020–2023 drought, 2023–2024 floods, and anticipated La Niña-induced dry conditions in 2025, pushing communities toward a multi-season drought crisis.

The project focuses on underserved host communities, minority groups, and vulnerable households whose access to safe water and sanitation remains critically constrained, increasing public health and protection risks.ltbrgtThe intervention is fully aligned with the Somalia Humanitarian Fund (SHF) Flagship District approach and responds directly to priorities identified through the SHF Community Engagement (CE) process, which highlighted unsafe water sources, inadequate sanitation, long travel distances to water points, and limited accountability mechanisms as key drivers of vulnerability in rural Jowhar. By applying an area-based, community-validated approach, the project seeks to address urgent WASH needs while preventing avoidable displacement and strengthening community resilience at points of origin.ltbrgtThe project will improve equitable access to safe and reliable water through targeted rehabilitation and upgrading of community water systems. Key activities include expansion of village water systems through additional storage capacity, upgrading of solar pumping components, rehabilitation of water catchments, construction of an integrated catchment-fed water storage,  construction of a freshwater borehole with elevated storage and distribution. These investments are designed to increase water availability, improve system reliability, and ensure functionality during seasonal shocks. To address sanitation and protection risks, the project will construct flood-resilient, gender-segregated, and disability-inclusive latrines in Ali-Warabay. Facilities will incorporate raised platforms, safe access, privacy, and accessibility features to ensure dignified use by women, girls, older persons, and persons with disabilities in flood-prone settings. Sanitation improvements will be complemented by community-based hygiene promotion and behaviour change activities focusing on safe water handling, sanitation practices, prevention of waterborne diseases, and menstrual hygiene management.ltbrgtSustainability and quality assurance are embedded through the establishment and strengthening of inclusive community WASH committees, supported with training on operation and maintenance, minor repairs, financial management, and transparent tariff setting. Routine water quality testing and monitoring will be conducted across all supported water sources to ensure safety and maintain community confidence in improved services.ltbrgtProtection mainstreaming is integrated across all components. The project will implement strong Accountability to Affected People (AAP) mechanisms, including accessible feedback channels, information sharing, and responsive complaint handling. Safeguarding, Protection from Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), and disability inclusion measures will be systematically applied to ensure WASH services do not exacerbate protection risks and remain accessible to all. Continuous community engagement and validation meetings will be conducted throughout implementation to maintain alignment with community priorities and adapt activities as needed.ltbrgtAMARD brings strong operational capacity, local acceptance, and a proven track record in Jowhar District, including prior SHF-funded WASH interventions. Through locally recruited teams, active participation in Area-Based Coordination and WASH Cluster structures, and consistent submission of 5Ws, AMARD will ensure coordinated, accountable, and high-quality delivery.

Recurrent seasonal flooding has resulted in widespread crop losses, damage to productive assets, reduced income opportunities, and increased food insecurity, placing households at heightened risk of displacement and negative coping strategies. These impacts disproportionately affect female-headed households, minority groups, and households with persons with disabilities, who face structural barriers to accessing resources, land preparation services, and income-generating opportunities.ltbrgtThe intervention is informed by findings from the completed Flagship Community Engagement (CE) process and Area-Based Coordination mechanisms, which identified livelihood recovery and flood risk reduction as priority needs in CE-validated high-risk locations. Based on these findings, the project delivers an integrated package of time-bound, community-led Food Security and Livelihoods interventions that address both immediate recovery needs and prevention of further losses.ltbrgtKey activities include provision of agricultural inputs and land preparation services to enable timely restoration of crop production short-term income support through Cash for Work linked to community-prioritized activities and implementation of light flood mitigation works to protect agricultural land, productive assets, and access routes from recurrent flooding. Cash for Work is applied both as an income stabilization mechanism and as a means to support community-led rehabilitation of flood protection structures, ensuring dual benefits at household and community levels.ltbrgtProtection mainstreaming, Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), and Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) measures are integrated across all components. These include protection-sensitive targeting and delivery arrangements, accessible complaints and feedback mechanisms, and clear communication with communities regarding entitlements, implementation schedules, and reporting channels. This approach ensures that assistance is delivered safely, equitably, and with dignity, while strengthening trust and accountability.ltbrgtThe project will be implemented over a six-month period, commencing following grant approval and rolling disbursement under the SA2 Envelope 2 allocation. Phased implementation is aligned with seasonal priorities, allowing early livelihood recovery actions to precede the main Cash for Work and flood mitigation phase, followed by monitoring, validation, and learning. Implementation through Area-Based Coordination structures will ensure coherence with other Flagship-supported interventions, avoid duplication, and promote coordinated response at local level.ltbrgtBy combining livelihood recovery with flood risk reduction and protection-sensitive delivery, the project contributes to reducing food insecurity, safeguarding productive assets, preventing further livelihood losses, and strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities in flood-prone areas of Jowhar District, in line with the objectives of the SHF SA2 Flagship.ltbrgtltbgtThe project will be implemented in the CE-validated riverine villages of Bulo Feermo, Micituure, Kulmis Weyn, Ali-Warabay, and Timire in Jowhar District.lt/bgtltbrgtlt/pgtDignity First SomaliaDignity First SomaliaSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security520000.00520000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First Somalia416000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First Somalia104000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundDignity First SomaliaXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-37184United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe 2024–2025 Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) highlights severe WASH gaps across Somalia, with IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Jowhar District among the most affected. The assessment indicates that 26% of households rely on unsafe drinking water sources, while 69% of IDPs and 51% of host communities lack sufficient water for drinking, cooking, and washing. Alarmingly, 25% of IDPs depend on surface water, exposing communities to recurrent outbreaks of cholera, AWD, and diarrheal disease. Sanitationltspangt conditions remain critically inadequate. Fifty-eight percent of IDPs rely on shared latrines, many of which are poorly constructed and unsafe, while only 22% of households use pit latrines overall.

Children under five and pregnant and lactating women are disproportionately affected by acute malnutrition, while inadequate access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene continues to heighten the risk of disease outbreaks and poor nutrition outcomes. Rural communities and marginalized groups face the greatest gaps in assistance due to access constraints and overstretched services. This project responds to these challenges through an integrated, life-saving WASH intervention designed to reduce morbidity and mortality, and strengthen community resilience.ltbrgtThe WASH project will target Wirkooy, Barka and  Sinkaleer focusing on restoring and improving access to safe water and sanitation. Key interventions include rehabilitation of solar-powered shallow wells with water storage, kiosks, and pipeline extensions, provision of emergency water supply through water trucking, construction of flood-resilient latrines, and distribution of hygiene and sanitation tools and equipment. Hygiene promotion sessions will reinforce safe water handling, sanitation use, handwashing at critical times, and food hygiene, directly supporting improved nutrition outcomes and reducing WASH-related disease risks.ltbrgtProtection, gender equality, and accountability to affected populations are mainstreamed across all activities through vulnerability-based targeting, community engagement, PSEA integration, and accessible complaints and feedback mechanisms, including the SHF hotline. A robust monitoring and evaluation system will track outputs, outcomes, participation, and service quality using cluster-aligned indicators, age- and sex-disaggregated data, and routine supervision, with findings reviewed monthly to inform adaptive management. Sustainability and exit considerations are embedded through capacity building of hygiene promoters, and community structures, strengthening local ownership and continuity of services beyond the project period.

These repeated shocks have continued to erode household coping capacities, particularly in rural and riverine areas where livelihoods depend heavily on seasonal agriculture and livestock. Despite short periods of recovery, many households have been unable to fully restore productive assets, leaving them highly exposed to further shocks.ltbrgtIn Jowhar District, conditions remain fragile at the close of 2025. Communities continue to face reduced agricultural output, loss of livestock, and constrained access to productive inputs, compounded by access challenges that limit timely humanitarian support. Fluctuations in the Shabelle River remain a persistent risk, with riverine and low-lying villages reporting repeated disruptions to cropping cycles and land usability. These pressures disproportionately affect rural households, internally displaced persons, women-headed households, and marginalized communities, increasing reliance on negative coping strategies and heightening the risk of further displacement if livelihoods are not stabilized.ltbrgtFindings from the community engagement (CE) process conducted in 2025 under the Area-Based Coordination (ABC) framework confirm that food insecurity and the inability to resume agricultural production remain the highest-ranked priorities for affected communities. Community members consistently identified lack of access to agricultural inputs, limited ability to prepare land for planting, and loss of livestock assets as the primary drivers of hunger. At the end of 2025, many households report insufficient food availability in both quantity and quality, particularly among displaced and riverine populations.ltbrgtIn response to these community-defined priorities, Wadajir Rural Development Organization (WARDO) proposes a community-driven Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) intervention designed to stabilize food access and restore productive capacity during the critical transition from late 2025 into 2026. The project will support crisis-affected agro-pastoral households through the provision of agricultural input packages (fertilizers, seeds, pesticides and tools), tractor-based land preparation services, and targeted restocking of small livestock (shoats) in Micituure, reflecting both community prioritization and WARDO’s comparative advantage.ltbrgtAll activities will integrate protection mainstreaming, Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), and PSEA safeguards to ensure assistance is safe, inclusive, and dignified, with particular attention to women, persons with disabilities, and marginalized groups. Anchored in 2025 community engagement outcomes and coordinated through ABC structures, the project aims to prevent further livelihood erosion, reduce displacement risks, and strengthen household resilience, enabling communities in Jowhar to enter 2026 with improved food security and restored livelihood foundations.ltbrgtlt/pgtWadajir Rural Development OrganizationWadajir Rural Development OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundFood Security480000.00480000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization288000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development Organization192000.00Somalia Humanitarian FundWadajir Rural Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-37244United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtURRO will implement a Community Engagement (CE) exercise in Baydhaba District over an eight month period to conduct a structured, evidence based needs assessment that ensures humanitarian interventions are guided by the priorities and voices of crisis affected communities. The exercise will produce a district level Community Engagement Plan (CEP) for Baydhaba, outlining ranked and costed priorities jointly developed with Area Based Committee (ABC) members, OCHA, ASEP as the lead Community Engagement partner, and other implementing partners working across the flagship districts, including Jamaame and Afmadow. The CEP will include disaggregated participation data by age, gender, disability, and minority status, offering practical guidance for inclusive, equitable, and data driven humanitarian programming. The project will also strengthen participatory planning processes by empowering ABCs and implementing partners to facilitate locally led decision making that ensures the sustained inclusion of marginalized and minority groups in the humanitarian response. The findings of this process will inform the second phase of the SHF flagship allocation by providing community validated, evidence based priorities for implementation.ltbrgtThe CE process will begin with coordination between URRO, ABC members, OCHA, ASEP, and relevant line ministries to confirm the target villages and align implementation approaches across the districts. This will be followed by a refresher training for Community Engagement facilitators, led in collaboration with ASEP, to harmonize methodologies, reinforce ethical and protection standards, and prepare teams for field level engagement.ltbrgtFollowing the training, URRO and ABC teams will conduct community entry activities, including meetings with village leaders, mapping of community structures and strategies, and consultations with village committees in the six target villages: October Village, Raydabaale, Ahmed Gurey, Horseed Village, Dhariiqa Village, and Waaberi Village. These engagements will build trust, introduce the project objectives, and ensure inclusive participation of women, men, youth, persons with disabilities, and minority groups.ltbrgtBuilding on this foundation, URRO and ABC teams will facilitate two rounds of structured community action planning sessions across the six target villages: October Village, Raydabaale, Ahmed Gurey, Horseed Village, Dhariiqa Village, and Waaberi Village. During these sessions, community representatives will identify, discuss, and prioritize their most urgent humanitarian needs. The second round of sessions will allow communities to review, refine, and validate the identified priorities, ensuring accuracy, inclusivity, and local ownership.ltbrgtThe collected information will then be jointly reviewed and analyzed by URRO, ABC, OCHA, and ASEP teams, in coordination with other partners implementing the CE process in Jamaame and Afmadow. Community identified priorities will be compiled, ranked, and costed using transparent criteria such as urgency, severity, feasibility, and potential impact. The resulting district level CEP will be presented during a validation workshop with community representatives and ABC members to confirm that it reflects locally defined priorities and perspectives.ltbrgtThroughout the process, ethical and protection principles, including Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), PSEA, GBV, and Child Protection (CP), will be systematically integrated. Participation of persons with disabilities, minority groups, women, and youth will be actively promoted at every stage.ltbrgtFollowing the validation of the CEP, URRO will facilitate routine weekly coordination and progress meetings with ABC members and key stakeholders, including ASEP and other CE partners, to monitor follow up actions, address emerging issues, and ensure that community priorities continue to inform humanitarian decision making throughout the eight month implementation period.ltbrgtlt/pgtUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationSomalia Humanitarian FundMulti-Sector42637.44127351.32169988.76Somalia Humanitarian FundUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation Organization135991.01Somalia Humanitarian FundUmbrella for relief and Rehabilitation OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-SOM-25-S-NGO-37260United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe communities in Baidoa have suffered the devastating consequences of prolonged droughts and floods that negatively impacted the livelihoods of rural communities, depleting their coping capacities and resilience. This has further strained their access to life-saving services, fueling displacement of rural communities to already swollen IDP camps. The limited resources worsen the vulnerability and exclusion of marginalized groups. Women and girls, who are mainly responsible for household chores face increased protection risks when fetching water or firewood. Persons with disabilities face access constraints due to non-inclusive infrastructure.lt/pgtltpgtIn response to this dire humanitarian situation, CESDO proposes a lifesaving, multi-sectoral project addressing the immediate and long-term WASH and food security needs of the hard-to-reach rural communities in Baidoa. While the project will respond to the priority needs identified by the communities through the CE partner and the ABC leadership, it is envisaged that through the installation of new water facilities and rehabilitating existing strategic water points, CESDO will ensure access to clean, safe water for these communities. This will improve public health outcomes by reducing water-related diseases such as acute water diarrhoea (AWD) and cholera. Communities will also have access to water for their livestock, reducing displacements triggered by water scarcity. By bringing services closer to the communities, protection risks faced by women, girls, persons with disabilities and minority groups when traveling long distance in search of services will be mitigated.lt/pgtltpgtThe project will ensure improved food security situation among target communities, particularly the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. CESDO will ensure vulnerability-based targeting and actively identify, engage and target groups most at risk of exclusion such as women, girls, the elderly, persons with disabilities and minority clans. The food security activities will contribute to improved access to diverse and nutritious foods and will target female-headed households, child-headed households, marginalized groups, pregnant and lactating women. This will consequently improve their nutrition and health outcomes, enhancing inter-sectoral synergies. Cash-based interventions will be prioritized, following comprehensive assessments of markets functionality and protection concerns.lt/pgtltpgtCESDO commits to non-discriminatory and impartial implementation of the project in-line with the Centrality of Protection, and adopts the recommendations from the 2024 CoP Report. To prevent the exclusion and denial of access to services, initial community mapping will be conducted in each location at the inception phase of the project. This will identify marginalized and excluded groups who will then be engaged throughout the project.
