On 02 September 2018 women’ group organized a consultation workshop on the establishment of the first women’s network in Cambodia, coordinated by the Cambodia Indigenous People Alliance (CIPA), Cambodia Indigenous People Organization (CIPO) Highlander Association (HA). Following its inception, the women’s group received supported from International Indigenous Women Forum (IIWF) through the Cambodia Indigenous People’ financial system to carry out its activity starting in April 2019. In 2020 the women’s group have prepared its action plan according to the old plan from last year, discussed with the members who do not yet have the budget to support and implement out the activity. For the women’s team, there are many issues and needs that must be push and addressed indigenous communities, such as land rights issues decimation issue, economic, education, mining issue andclimate change issue. The project was developed by seeing the impact of mining investment in Mondulkiri and its potential impacts on community’s livelihood, heath, and environment and to empower IP women to take control and protect their resources and, ensure social and, environmental safeguarding. In addition, the women would like to have frequent training or meeting with communities livingaround mining investment area to strengthen their capacity to recognize their rights to participate in the early stages of researches and environmental assessment. Community awareness on the impact prevention methods are important to seek intervention from the company and the ministry of themines and energy to take strict action against the activities of its workers who violate the national law. The strengthening IP women network in the mining-affected area of communities, forests communities, and indigenous collective communities is crucialto voice their concems and hold the government and company accountable. Recently, the Cambodian government through the ministry of Mine and Energy has provided mining investment license to private companies to boost the Cambodian economy as a senior official of the Ministry of Mines and Energy has recently confirmed about the first discovery of an international-scale gold mine in Mondulkiri Province.

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.

Objectives

In line with the AHF 1st Standard Allocation Strategy, NRC plans to implement shelter activities in Arghandab district in Kandahar province. The project aims to respond to prioritized humanitarian needs arising in the spring months and to expand the humanitarian shelter response in underserved locations. Three types of shelter activities will be implemented in this project: Minor Shelter Repairs, Major Shelter Repairs and T-shelter construction. The first is through the provision of cash assistance at an average of USD 330, to vulnerable households whose shelters require minor shelter repairs: 980 Households in Arghandab, Kandahar. In addition, 267 Households in Arghandab whose properties are need of major repairs, will be entitled to receive cash support that covers the cost of the needed repairs, equivalent to an average of USD 550. Furthermore, NRC aims to build 89 T-shelters in Arghandab, also through a cash-based intervention, whereby selected households will receive a cash sum of USD 1,472 each, paid in four installments. In total, NRC will support a total of 1,336 Households corresponding to 9,352 individuals, in the sites Tabin, Manara awala, Manara dohama, Khilshak, Dah Sabzi and Koha In Arghandab, which have been identified as critically vulnerable and underserved based on the Rapid Assessment Mechanism launched by the ESNFI cluster in 2021. Cash provision will be facilitated through locally contracted Financial Service Provision agents through which beneficiaries will collect their payments upon achieving progress milestones. Beneficiaries in the above sites will be selected following household questionnaires, community consultations and needs analysis carried out by the NRC implementation teams, in line with the cluster guidelines. Female Headed Household (female is main income earner) no male present Female Headed Household (female is main income earner) male present but disabled Elderly Headed Household (above 55) Child Headed Household (under 17 years of age) with other adult present in the HH Child Headed Household (under 17 years of age) without other adult present in the HH Child Headed Household (under 14 years of age) with or without other adult present in the HH Family has more than 7 members Family member has a chronic illness or disability (mental or physical) There are 3 children in the family less than 5 years of age Family has more than 1 child under 3 years of age Family is all female with no close male family members present in the community The package of shelter repairs will be determined based on the conditions of the properties and their potential level of damage. Meanwhile, HHs living in uninhabitable or unsustainable conditions, who have access to land ownership will be eligible for T-shelters. During the period of project implementation, households will receive technical support from the NRC shelter teams, to ensure the quality of the implementation meets the organizational standards of the ESNFI cluster, which NRC is committed to being an active member of the cluster. During assessment, as well as, implementation phase, NRC will ensure households have proper access to their HLP rights, with support from the Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance (ICLA) team to avoid an unintentional harm towards beneficiaries due to the intervention. The Shelter team will also seek to direct the needs of the beneficiaries to the WASH and Livelihoods and Food Security programme where feasible. The project will be implemented over 12 months starting the date of commencement, and will be concluded by an outcome monitoring that reflects the impact of the intervention to the strategic objectives of the cluster, namely Strategic Objective #1: people whose shelter was upgraded allowing for safer and more dignified living conditions and Strategic Objective #3: people receiving support to construct transitional shelters.

Objectives

The proposed action deploys a community-based approach to address HLP needs in Kabul and Herat. The two cities have large numbers of vulnerable people requiring HLP assistance: according to the 2022 HNO, out of a total of 6 million people in HLP need around 1.6 million are in Kabul and Herat. Many of those in need are IDPs and returnees that live in extremely challenging conditions in urban informal settlements. According to REACH’s 2021 survey of informal IDP and returnee settlements, nearly 80 per cent are located in urban and peri-urban areas. Pervasive insecure HLP rights have resulted in frequent threats of eviction for these communities, and constrained humanitarian investments in lifesaving shelter and WASH, because neither communities nor humanitarian agencies can make long-term investments in the absence of secure HLP rights. The fall of the government has brought challenges and opportunities to securing HLP rights that this action directly responds to. A key challenge is that many legal frameworks that support individual ownership, such as the 2018 Land Management Law, are uncertain given the power transition that has occurred. A key opportunity is that many of the impediments to securing HLP rights were associated with the former government, including a reluctance to provide urban land to vulnerable groups and rather allocate it to well-connected individuals To respond to the current context, challenges and opportunities, the proposed project will utilize a community-centered approach to strengthening HLP rights in urban informal settlements where insecure property rights have resulted in historic threats of eviction and barriers to humanitarian investment. In this way, the following activities will be implemented: 1. Communal land claims of 30,000 vulnerable people living in informal settlements in Kabul and Herat are documented and mapped maps are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 2 Community-based settlement plans are developed for 8 informal settlements in Kabul and Herat and their priority humanitarian investments to upgrade communal infrastructure are actioned settlement plans and investments are endorsed by Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies 3 Coordination with community organizations and humanitarian agencies to extend shelter, infrastructure and service investments in informal settlements through development of a strategic plan. The three results will result in the projects key outcome: strengthened communal HLP rights for displaced people. First, documenting the socioeconomic aspects and mapping the spatial attributes of settlements, in coordination with Community Development Councils and/or Gozar Assemblies increases the legitimacy of informal settlements, hence strengthening their communal HLP rights. Developing a new settlement plan and implementing priority investments identified by the community consolidates informal settlements, strengthening communal HLP rights, as well as providing lifesaving essential services (e.g. drainage) to those most in need.
