Objectives
Medair’s proposed response provides urgent identification and assistance for the most vulnerable HHs susceptible to harsh weather conditions within informal settlements and sub-standard buildings and to an increased risk of eviction in the Bekaa, Baalbek – El-Hermel and North Lebanon areas. More specifically, through this project Medair aims to: - Improve the living conditions and accessibility for 211 households via upgrading of residential shelter to meet minimum standards (prioritizing families with Child Protection (CP) needs in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel - Increase tenure security for 200 vulnerable households via providing cash for rent (prioritizing families with CP needs) to prevent eviction in West and Central Bekaa - Improve accessibility and safety for families living in 30 informal settlements in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel selected on the scoring from the site improvement assessment conducted across the region in coordination with the shelter sector with the intention of needs prioritization, and in 13 informal settlements in North Lebanon with the highest priority for site improvements activities identified and shared by North Lebanon Shelter Sector coordinator. Medair will distribute Non-Food Items (NFI) kits to 60% of the households (eligibility to be established via assessments) who will benefit from the rehabilitation of their sub-standard residential units in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel to be able to cope better with the harsh winter conditions in the targeted area as recommended by Bekaa basic assistance sector. In addition, in line with shelter sector standards, Medair will address potential and identified fire risks by providing fire extinguishers in informal settlements (consisting off 4 to 9 tents) on a rate of ¼ as per sector guidelines and in sub-standard residential buildings that will benefit from rehabilitation, or refill the existing ones in informal settlements (consisting of 10 tents and above (provided by Medair as part of other interventions, or via another organization). For this project, Medair is in a strong position to be able to address the identified needs and gaps, combining existing expertise and experience of providing shelter support, with the ability to build on established relationships, knowledge of the geographic area, and good connections with local NGOs. Medair will extend the area of intervention for cash for rent assistance to west and central Bekaa to complement the ongoing Medair cash for rent project funded by LHF (LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/S/INGO/22023), as the existing assessment tools will be used to identify the eligible households. Also, Medair will report the shelter activities on RAIS and ActivityInfo, in addition to the close coordination with shelter sector and active shelter partners in Medair area of interventions to avoid any overlapping in providing shelter assistance. Medair will also leverage its experience as one of the largest Shelter actors in the Bekaa, and utilize the already established good working relationships with UNHCR, other local and international NGOs, and other stakeholders. As a Shelter Core Group member of the National Shelter Working Group, Medair will ensure complementarity with other interventions and avoid duplication.
Enhancing the protective environment for most vulnerable individuals and communities in Koch County, and provi
Objectives
DRC proposes to implement a combined protection project, including general protection (GP) and Housing, Land and Property (HLP) activities, and sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) prevention and response programming for vulnerable women, men, girls and boys of both internally displaced and host communities in Unity State. The project is designed to provide protection services through strengthening the protection capacity and resilience of the most vulnerable individuals in communities of Koch and Rubkona Counties (including Bentiu PoC), and to increase access to lifesaving GBV prevention and response services, in line with the HRP cluster objectives and strategy of 2019. The proposed activities are a continuation of DRC’s current SSHF 2019 SA1-funded protection and GBV projects in Koch County and HLP-related activities in Rubkona County, building on initial findings from an assessment conducted in Rubkona. The proposed project will target both IDPs and vulnerable host community members, reaching an estimated 17,240 total individuals, including 4,225 men, 8,220 women, 2,046 boys and 2,749 girls. Ongoing intercommunal violence and armed clashes between opposition groups in Unity State mean that communities in Koch County, the situation is exacerbated by access challenges to remote communities. Through the proposed intervention, DRC will provide protection mitigation and response activities in Koch County in areas including Pet Pet, Mir Mir, Patit, Buaw, Bang, Rier and Koch town communities. DRC will conduct protection monitoring, community-based protection activities through 3 established Community Based Protection Networks (CBPNs) in Koch county and create 3 additional CBPNs, identify PSNs, provide individual protection assistance (IPA), distribute of core relief items (CRIs), provide referrals to other humanitarian actors, and advocate with relevant response actors. HLP rights is becoming one of the most critical issues for IDPs in South Sudan, with households in Rubkona County particularly affected. Flow monitoring data from DRC and other actors has identified increased returns and changes in displacement trends in the first half of 2019, impacting HLP issues. In response, DRC conducted a HLP and access to justice assessment in June-July 2019, through the SSHF SA1. Preliminary findings indicate that HLP concerns should be analysed and addressed with caution in Bentiu, given the inequalities between different groups, linked to land access and to land rights, the political dynamics, and fragility of the peace process. The assessment also indicates that there is a gap in awareness regarding HLP rights among displaced and conflict affected populations in Bentiu PoC, Bentiu and Rubkona towns. Considering this, DRC will carry out the following activities: provide HLP awareness to IDP households, support vulnerable returnees with access to land tenure documents (utilising a do-no-harm approach), conduct HLP monitoring, and provide HLP trainings to relevant government bodies to enhance legal knowledge. From current programming in Koch County, DRC has identified an increase in GBV cases and increased vulnerability of women and girls (especially among returnee population) due to compounding vulnerabilities. In response, DRC will provide PSS in line with PSS and case management Minimum Standards will refer GBV cases to appropriate specialized partners and service providers as part of an established referral pathway, and will update to include new service providers identified will provide awareness raising activities and outreach sessions GBV, including refresher trainings to community leaders on immediate and appropriate responses for GBV incidents and prevention through regular community activities. DRC also proposes to implement an integrated protection mobile team (IPMT) component that targets 10,000 individuals, please the see attached IPMT proposal under document tab for further details on the project summary.
COVID-19 UNHABITAT innovative solutions for IDPS II - UNHABITAT innovative solutions for IDPS II
General
New/additional funds to address COVID-19 Somalia is one of the fastest urbanizing countries in the world. The rapid urbanization is caused by significant forced displacements from rural areas into urban areas driven by conflicts, insecurity, search for economic opportunities and cyclical environmental adversities such as drought and famine. This has a huge impact not only upon livelihood opportunities, peace and stability and resilience, but also shifting rural and pastoralist livelihood to urban economies. The urban influx raises many challenges for the provision of basic urban services including secure access to land for settlement of IDPs and existing vulnerable communities. Lack of effective land administration and planning systems and weak institutions has led to arbitrary distribution of land and has aggravated contestation over land, housing and basic services. Intense competition over land exacerbates forced evictions particularly among IDPs and urban poor. The focus of this programme will be to promote inclusive employment opportunities for urban vulnerable populations, increase youth participation; integration of displacement affected households and to strengthen implementation of Durable Solutions and Youth development across Somalia. The programme will be implemented in Mogadishu, Kismayo, Baidoa and Dollow which are some of the majorly affected towns/cities.
Objectives
The main objective of the project is to: To contribute to sustainable urban development, building resilient communities and providing urban services and livelihood opportunities for residents and marginalised groups. The project has 4 main outcomes: Outcome 1: Inclusive employment opportunities in market sector driven value chains under the sustainable productive sectors increased Outcome 2: Increased youth participation in peacebuilding and reconciliation efforts including engagement in local governance and national decision-making processes. Outcome 3: Enhanced local social, economic and spatial integration of displacement affected households through urban regeneration and upgrading projects Outcome 4: Enhancing tools and frameworks that strengthen implementation of Durable Solutions and Youth development across Somalia

Target Groups
The project is aligned with GEF focal area CCM-3-8, i.e. “Foster enabling conditions for mainstreaming mitigation concerns into sustainable development strategies through capacity building initiative for transparency.” The project will contribute to the improvement of local and global environmental conditions through enhancing transparency related to GHG emissions, impacts of climate change, and mitigation and adaptation actions in the country. Strengthened MRV will allow the government to better assess investments in mitigation and adaptation measures, and may result in more efficient expenditures on climate-related activities, which in turn could optimize reductions in GHG emissions. Improved MRV will also allow the government to compare the relative costs and benefits of mitigation and adaptation measures so that it will be able to highlight and support cost-effective, high-impact adaptation measures. This project contributes to the country’s commitments under the UNFCCC to enable it to address climate change considerations (mitigation of GHG emissions and reduction of vulnerability to climate change). project activities contribute directly to increasing the extent to which state institutions base their actions on the principals of sustainable development and increasing the capacities of public actors to implement, monitor, and evaluate policies related to environment, climate change and nature protection. The domestic MRV system to be developed under Component 3 is designed to avoid duplication and result in an efficient system that will reduce time burdens and costs to state institutions in data collection and analysis. The project will also assist the country in achieving the SDG 13 by supporting the integration of climate change measures into national policies, strategies and planning; building knowledge and improving education, awareness-raising and human and institutional capacity on climate change mitigation, adaptation, impact reduction and early warning, and promotion of mechanisms for raising capacity for effective climate change-related planning and management in the country. The project will also contribute to achieving SDG5 by supporting empowerment of women in decision-making, land ownership and through gender-sensitive budgeting.
