The targeted population which include women, children, elderly, and people living with disability have been exposed to critical suffering due to lack of basic necessities such as food, water and shelter and have been experiencing abject poverty and the situation does not look to improve in future due to localized conflict exacerbated by the drought condition. Both hosts and the IDPs are in the same humanitarian catastrophe and hence the proposed support. The proposed project seeks to provide immediate live saving assistance to the most vulnerable in the affected populations with an express focus on food, WASH and NFIs. The project will achieve the following: Through this intervention, IR will aim to improve nutritional status of the target groups by providing food parcels to 6,000 individuals for at least 4 months. This will enable them to access immediate food and hence overcome the hunger they are suffering from. The programme will be delivered by the Food and NFI Officer with support from the M&E Lack of water has been reported through the assessment as the main need for the target population including the host community. IR will aim to identify and rehabilitate water sources to enable water availability. A total of 10 water source will be identified and rehabilitated. Once this is completed, it is expected to provide water to this community for a longer period. This approach is important in two folds, it provides immediate lifesaving and potable water for the affected groups, is better value for money and sustainable. The facilities will be also be accessed by the general population. As part of hygiene improvement for the emergency response, IR will construct 4 latrines with two blocks each to be used by the displaced population. This will help in reducing cases of hygiene and water related diseases being contracted by the target groups. Hygiene campaigns and sensitization will also be done through community Participatory Hygiene and Sanitation Training (PHAST). This is aimed to target 3,000 people. This activity will be supported by the Emergency WASH Officer supported by Emergency Response Manager. Findings from the assessment indicate that civil population in Lainya is in dire need of NFI support. This is because homes and social facilities have been vandalized, houses burnt and people have fled to shelter in bushes under trees. Because of the continuous looting from armed groups, communities have also lost cooking sets including clothes. The situation is same for the Kapoeta East where hundreds have fled ethnic conflict and hosted in Kapoeta town with no shelter, NFI and other materials for household use. Through this intervention, a total of 4,800 HH will be targeted.
