General
Bicknell's Thrush (BITH) is a neotropical migratory bird species whose population overwinters predominantly in the Dominican Republic where forest habitat is under threat from agricultural expansion and fire. With past NMBCA support, significant progress has been made in protecting and managing critical habitat, and restoring forest conditions for migratory birds. This project builds and expands upon those advances. Partners will: 1) engage coffee/cacao farmers and industry stakeholders in Bird-Friendly production methods and marketing; 2) restore 65 ha by planting 114,900 native trees and coffee/cacao plants; 3) conduct a land tenure study to explore new lands to protect; 4) develop a Payment for Ecosystem Services program to incentivize forest protection; 5) improve law enforcement of four key habitat areas by hiring one new park guard, and supporting patrols and boundary-marking; 5) monitor presence, and distribution of BITH and other Partners in Flight priority migratory species. With matching funds, they will: 1) protect up to 100 ha of habitat through acquisition; 2) maintain 23 existing guards, 8 protected area personnel, and 20 fire/patrol brigade members; 3) map cacao farms & help develop/test Bird-Friendly cacao standards; and 4) build capacity in our partner through investment in personnel and institutional strengthening.
Enhancing the protective environment for the most vulnerable persons and communities in Koch County and increa
Objectives
The proposed project in Unity State is designed to provide protection services through strengthening the protection capacity and resilience of the most vulnerable individuals in targeted communities of Koch and Rubkona Counties (including Bentiu PoC) of South Sudan. The project will have a 50% protection mitigation and response component and a 50% HLP rights component. The protection concerns of the communities across South Sudan and specifically in areas where there is little to no permanent protection actors remain high. Due to the ongoing intercommunal fighting and armed clashes between the opposition parties in Unity State coupled with issues of accessibility to remote areas, the communities in Koch County and specifically persons with specific needs are facing protection concerns. Through the proposed intervention, DRC intends to provide protection mitigation and response activities in Koch County in areas including Mir-mir/Bieh, Buaw, Chotchar and Ngony communities. The DRC protection team will conduct protection monitoring through regular protection missions and permanent protection desks located in Koch town. This activity will be complemented through the establishment of community-based protection networks (CBPNs) that will assist in the identification of vulnerable beneficiaries and the provision of support provided to individuals with protection concerns in their communities. DRC’s protection intervention will also include the following activities: identification of persons with specific needs (PSNs), provision of individual protection assistance (IPA), distribution of core relief items (CRIs), referrals to other humanitarian actors and service providers, and advocacy with relevant response actors and stakeholders. Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights is becoming one of the most critical issues for IDPs in Rubkona County but also throughout South Sudan. With the revitalized peace agreement signed in late 2018 between the government and the opposition groups, DRC has observed a cautious change in intentions of IDPs living in collective settlements and refugees residing outside of South Sudan to start returning to their areas of origin. As a result, DRC believes that understanding and addressing HLP issues that are surfacing will ensure a more equitable and sustainable humanitarian response which will ultimately protect, support and strengthen the security and resilience of those affected by conflict and displacement. The lack of a comprehensive and conflict-sensitive understanding of HLP issues in Rubkona County ultimately impacts the larger humanitarian assistance including sectors such as education, health, and livelihoods. As a response, DRC aims to conduct a conflict and gender-sensitive HLP assessment, provide HLP awareness raising to IDP populations in Bentiu PoC, Bentiu and Rubkona towns, provide vulnerable returnees with access to land tenure documents, conduct HLP monitoring, and provide HLP trainings to local authorities and relevant government bodies in the state to enhance the legal knowledge of these government bodies.
Distribution of lifesaving non-food items, shelter materials and cash for shelter for the most vulnerable conf
Objectives
This project seeks to address the shelter and non-food item (S/NFI) needs of vulnerable conflict and disaster-affected populations in Panyikang County, Upper Nile and hard to reach areas across South Sudan. The intervention will directly target 16,900 individuals (3,380 men, 6,760 women, 3,380 boys and 3,380 girls) with S/NFI support. To do so, the project proposes a semi-static response team in Malakal and a mobile team based in Juba with rapid response capacity able to quickly deploy to hard to reach locations across Upper Nile, Jonglei, Lakes State, and other locations prioritized by the cluster. The DRC mobile response team based in Juba aims to support the most vulnerable and underserved populations in Upper Nile, Jonglei, Lakes and other hard to reach locations affected by conflict through the provision of multi-sector survival kits, non-food items, and emergency shelter support. All responses will be led by a protection-centered S/NFI analysis that will determine the exact nature of the responses. The Juba-based mobile team will quickly deploy to locations of Upper Nile where land access is limited for the Malakal-based mobile team and other priority locations in Jonglei and Lakes. By having response teams in both Malakal and Juba, DRC will be best placed to support new displacements and spontaneous returns across Upper Nile, Jonglei, Lakes and other hard to reach locations in South Sudan. The response from the Juba-based mobile team will focus on emergency distributions of survival kits, distributions of life-sustaining NFI and shelter kits to newly affected locations, while the Malakal-based team will target the most vulnerable conflict-affected communities through the distribution of emergency S/NFI materials in areas of Upper Nile where road and river access is feasible. Furthermore, following completion of a thorough market analysis in areas of Paniykang County with functional markets and available local resources, the Malakal team will implement cash for shelter activities. All S/NFI materials (with the exception of the cash for shelter activity) distributed by the Malakal and Juba-based response teams will be supplied through the cluster pipeline and will not be budgeted under the project. These items include survival kits, NFI kits, and emergency shelter items available through the pipeline supply. The proposed project is designed to be cost-efficient, and considers the cluster recommended ratio of USD/beneficiary, calculated at USD 13 per beneficiary for the emergency distributions and USD 25 for cash for shelter. In all project sites, DRC will operate mobile complaints desks to enable beneficiaries to flag concerns or complaints in person or anonymously, improving participation and accountability for all affected populations. DRC also has a toll-free hotline number that beneficiaries can call to register complaints or feedback. As standard project monitoring best practice, post distribution monitoring (PDM) will be conducted in areas where second-time access is feasible following the response mission. However, in hard to reach areas where access is limited, DRC will implement rapid monitoring tools alongside the response missions. The PDM and the rapid monitoring exercise will highlight any risks by the S/NFI intervention as well as lessons for considerations for future responses. Beneficiaries will be able to provide their opinions on how DRC and cluster interventions can be improved and they will be given the opportunity to provide feedback or make a complaint. A formal feedback mechanism will be fed through DRC’s hotline whereby complaints or queries may be logged and responded to remotely. Satisfaction Surveys will be conducted in areas where cash for shelter activities have been carried out.
To improve emergency Shelter and Non-food items response to people affected by conflict in Fangak and Ayod cou
Objectives
This project aims to ensure the provision of emergency shelter materials, particularly in Fangak and Ayod responding to the emergency needs of conflict affected populations across the country. This project would possibly consist of seven key components as follows: the assessment, verification, storage and transportation, distribution and monitoring and reporting. The project will aim at responding to the current emergency situation in hard to reach areas of Fangak, and Ayod counties of Jonglei state. The items would be delivered to Fangak and Ayod through logistical cluster cargo in coordination with Shelter and NFIs cluster in order to address the time critical needs of the unforeseen influx of Internally Displaced persons (IDPs) to the affected area. However, given the shelter needs for the new arrivals in the Fangak and Ayod. ADA will focus mostly in robust shelters and some few reinforcement shelter kits respectively. The project will also seek to enhance the protection environment of vulnerable crisis affected girls, boys and youths to enable durable solutions through inclusive protection team and community engagement and establishment of community based protection networks. This will enabling conditions for realization of solutions and prevention of further displacement which leads to family separations identification of risks, dangers and impediments, advocacy and mitigation measures and peaceful co-existence initiatives. A total of 8,000 people (4,800 females and 3,200 males) will benefit from this project.4,800 of them which is 45% will be female and 3,000 which is about 30% will be males,400 which is 5% will be Host community and 2000 which is about 25% will be returnees. However, above all 5,600 which is 70% of the total affected population to be targeted by this project will be IDPs. In addition, the ADA emergency mobile team will continue to assess, verify and deliver assistance according to identified needs to affected populations wherever they are, and most likely in the most conflict affected Payams and Bomas in aforementioned counties. The ADA mobile team will carefully consider and tailor each response to the verified needs on the ground, paying particular attention to the most vulnerable and women and with an overarching focus on protecting the safety, security and dignity of populations targeted with assistance. This is because the IDPs are settled temporarily, with no information of how long they may spend in these locations, making it difficult for them to benefit from projects, such as distribution of plastic sheeting for shelter construction which require land ownership, which the IDPs currently have no access to services. Through proper consultation with Local authorities and meaningful community engagement ADA will bridge the current gaps and will ensure the participation of affected population through formation of difference categories of genders, ADA will be briefed but not limited to empowering community leader. Furthermore, during the implementation, ADA will integrate protection team into join missions response with aim to oversee and address the protection concern hence the protection team will display numbers of messages this includes the uses of Mosquito net, uses of fire extinguisher and proper uses of cooking set. ADA will write banners in local languages to eradicate the community on harmful practices. This project will bust the already existing resilient project that ADA is implementing the project will highly aim on localization and upgrading the local available resources.

Objectives
DRC mobile response team aims to support the most vulnerable and underserved populations in Upper Nile affected by conflict through the provision of multi-sector survival kit, non-food items and emergency shelter support. All responses are led by a protection centered need assessments that will determine the exact nature of the response. Through this project, DRC will fund a mobile team based in Malakal and Juba with rapid response capability to cover various areas of the Upper Nile State. The Juba based mobile team will quickly deploy to locations of Upper Nile where land access is limited for the Malakal based mobile team. By having a mobile team in Malakal, and Juba DRC will be in better placed to support new displacements and spontaneous returns across the Upper Nile. All S/NFI materials will be provided by the cluster pipeline and are not budgeted under the project. These items will include survival kit, NFI kits and emergency shelter items distributed by the cluster. The beneficiary calculation for both mobile response teams is in line with the USD $13 per beneficiary targeted by the cluster, including household members (i.e. one S/NFI kit directly benefitting all members of a household). The response missions will be followed by post distribution monitoring that will highlight any risks by the S/NFI intervention. Beneficiaries will be able to provide their opinions on how DRC and cluster interventions can be improved and they will be given the opportunity to make a complaint. A formal feedback mechanism will be fed through DRC’s hotline whereby complaints or queries may be logged and responded to remotely.
