This will include consultations with local authorities, community elders and host communities to identify and register the most vulnerable people for NFIs support. The project implementation will involve the following activities: 1. Beneficiaries registration: AYUUB will hold consultations with community members to jointly determine the targeting criteria, identify the most vulnerable and register beneficiaries for the NFIs and Shelter. AYUUB will prioritize the Most vulnerable people in the Targeted area . AYUUB will also target host communities to ensure that other vulnerable people within the target locations are also assisted based on needs and also avoid conflict between the host community and displaced people, the Host Communties are among in the IDP Camps. We Consider Protection in our Shelter activities, during beneficiary identification we select beneficiaries with Specific needs, Marginalized communities, Female headed house hold and families with orphans, also during our community training we also ensure representation from all the above-mentioned groups. 2.

Contributing to drought response through the promotion and protection of Housing, Land and Property (HLP) righ
Objectives
This intervention is a multi-faceted Protection hybrid intended to consolidate the ongoing humanitarian response to the drought situation in Somalia, while at the same time supporting reintegration and durable solutions efforts. The intervention is framed around the following three central outcomes: i) Eviction prevention and response: individuals affected by displacement receive support assistance to improve their tenure security situation and address post-eviction complications ii) Access to justice and information: enhanced access to specialized services to address HLP problems and improve peaceful co-existence among displacement affected populations iii) capacity development: reintegration and durable solutions efforts are strengthened through enhanced local and institutional capacities to promote peaceful co-existence and protect HLP rights. It is designed to consolidate ongoing humanitarian efforts by expanding critically essential protection services and enhancing synergies between mainstream Protection and other sectors in a way that makes the drought response more complete. The action will be implemented in four main regions across Somalia – South and Central Somalia, Puntland State and Somaliland. Specific districts that are targeted within these three broad geographic regions include: Puntland – Bari, Nugaal, Mudug Somaliland – Sanaag, Walgyoi, Galbeed, Sool, Todgheer and South and Central Somalia – Gedo, Bay, Banadiir, Lower Juba, Middle Shabelle and Lower Shabelle. As a drought-driven response, the cities and villages hardest hit will be prioritized although targeting will remain flexible in order to accommodate unforeseen emergencies which the drought situation could trigger in other locations. The overarching objectives of this project will be achieved through the implementation of fourteen select set of activities that are clearly articulated under the ‘Logical Framework Section’ of this application, including the specific modalities through which each deliverable will be materialized. On an overall, implementation modalities will include a combination of both direct service delivery and remote programming, which will be led by substantive project staff and a robust network of skilled and highly trained paralegals. The project will be implemented by NRC’s ICLA program that specializes in the application of legal concepts to promote and protect the rights of persons affected by displacement. In the case of this intervention, contextually appropriate legal methods will be employed to provide effective and quality lifesaving protection response designed to address Housing, Land and Property rights violations and to promote peaceful co-existence in the context of the drought response in Somalia. NRC has prioritized direct implementation as a means of guaranteeing quality, but local capacity development has also been mainstreamed into the project’s design in order to promote sustainability. Local municipalities will be targeted for partnership cooperation.

Uganda Women's Leadership Project
General
UWONET will seek to achieve the successful domestication of the Maputo Protocol, mainly focusing on Land by strengthening the capacity of civil society organisations to proactively hold government accountable for the implementation of the Land Policy. Strong collective women#s and civil society voices are well known to be a critical factor in pushing for implementation of policies. This project will therefore continue to invest in the strengthening of a strong coordinated, Ugandan women#s movement. A network of consortium members and other actors operating initiatives advancing the Women#s land rights guaranteed under the protocol shall work together to identify priority issues for redress and design appropriate strategies. Through the Women#s body atParliament Local women#s rights activists, Women#s rights organisations and local women political leaders will be linked to the parliamentarians to demand for rejuvenation and set up of Land management structures at Local levels. The capacity of women particularly those from the grassroots will be built to be able to participate and be heard in government planning and budgeting processing to influence budget allocationsto services that matter for the poor and rural women. The proposed project builds on the concluded 5-year Raising Her Voice Project (RHVP) which was conceived and designed to influence the Uganda Government to ratify and domesticate the Africa Union Protocol on Women#s Rights without harmful reservations; and to contribute to promotingthe role of women in the decision-makprocesses affecting their lives. The five-year Project was launched in 2008 and ended in March 2013. This project will be part of the 2nd phase of the RHV with started march 2014. Although the 2nd phase of the projectfocuses on fostering Local women#s activism and leadership to advance Women#s land rights and fight against VAW, the 3rd year of the 2nd phase of RHV will only focus on Women#s Land rights. This project aims to build on this momentum by specifically building capacity of rural women and women leaders to be at the forefront of advocating for the issues impinging on their rights especially the right to Land especially land inheritance and succession rights. Theproject will building women#s capacity to engage with the governance framework and cultural institutions at different levels so that functional land management structures are put in place and responsive to the needs of women. It#s envisaged that the engagement of women with cultural institutions andLegal framework will increase land accessibility for women as well and control. The voices ofwomen At local level, the project will be implemented in 3 sub regions of the Greater north , in the districts of Lamwo, Kitgum( Acholi region) Kabong and Kotido( Karamoja region) and Nebbi and Arua (Westnile region). Given the situation of women in northern Uganda with regard to high land ownership injustices and other injustices against women, domestication and implementation of the Maputo Protocol is important to address gaps in policy, laws and implementation of programmes to address women#s rights. The project willfocus on pushing for the implementation of the recently passed land policy.
TFSN Land Governance in Cambodia
General
The SDC identified four key criteria for the successful project include proposed project team, proposed intervention strategy, procedure and organization, and financial proposal. SDC compared ONL score to the winning bid and the average value. Most of the scores were lower than the average, except the financial proposal (4.3 compared to average 3.4). Specific lessons learnt: 1. The required CVs for the proposed project team were not given adequate attention till the last moment. 2. The intervention strategy was a little bit broad as it is regional project. 3. SDC should have been included as an actor on land governance in the project rather than donoronly.
