The floods isolated entire districts and communities and cut off many communication routes. Rivers surpassed alert levels and impassable bridges have effectively cut off the north of the country from the south. An estimated 14,950 houses have been destroyed. 57 accommodation centres have been established to provide shelter for the more than 50,000 people who have been displaced. Furthermore, according to the Ministry of Agriculture and partners, floods have destroyed 52,052 hectares of crops, affecting 36,939 households nationally. These figures are expected to increase as assessments continue.
Preliminary assessments have identified some humanitarian needs. The national Insitute for Disaster management (INGC) is playing a elading role. It estimates that it will need about US$ 8 million to address the immediate needs of the affected people in terms of food, shelter, WASH, health, family kits including logistics for the initial 30 days of the response. This requirement is over and beyond the government’s current expenditure of US$ 1 million per week which is spent on distrusting food and medicine. More than half of this weekly expenditure has gone towards air transport as the areas are inaccessible by other means. This CERF response focuses on critical gaps jointly identified by the Government and the HCT. Current relief stocks indicate that there is a huge gap in food and non-food items to address the current humanitarian assistance in Zambezia Province. There is an urgent need to feed and provide shelter to the 50,000 affected people that are hosted in accommodation centers (most of which are schools, which need to resume by 06 February 2015). There is also the urgent need to provide emergency water supply, emergency sanitation and emergency hygiene promotion, thus providing minimum safe conditions for reducing the risk to public health by water and sanitation-related diseases. The CERF response will include and immediate response focusing on an initial response to the most affected (50,000 IDPs):
1) Logistics Cluster (WFp) intends to provide rapid response to cover the main operational gaps such as storage capacity and aerial and surface transport (road and river) to make sure that the relief assistance reaches the affected population.
2) The WASH Cluster (UNICEF) will give priority to the 50,000 displaced people to ensure the provision of safe water supply, basic sanitation and hygiene promotion in the accommodation centers/resettlement areas,
3) The Food Security Cluster (FAO, WFP) which includes agriculture will provide immediate food assistance for at least one month to the 50,000 displaced people.
4) Under the Shelter Cluster (IOM) will work in partnership with the Mozambican Red Cross (CVM) and Concern Worldwide, to provide temporary shelter NFIs to support IDPs currently residing in temporary/transit points throughout Zambezia Province.
5) The protection sector (UNICEF) will implement three activities: the identification of unaccompanied minors and efforts towards family reunification; prevention and response to violence and abuse (including gender-based violence); and immediate psycho-social support to displaced families and children.15-RR-MOZ-13459-NR01jennifer.topping@one.un.org#Jennifer ToppingEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2015-11-09T00:00:002016-11-01T20:51:18Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene20265187063897121092194704056279533ProtectionProtection530354604199076386493456973218172294Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture011180111800167701677027950Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI20968163353730320346187223906876371Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security87811050119282119381824330181494632015-02-06T00:00:0034919215-RR-MWI-1347115-RR-MWI-13471_Malawi_Jan2015_ApplicationAfricaMalawiEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRFloodBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-01-30T00:00:002015-01-30T00:00:002015-02-12T00:00:002015-02-19T00:00:007950587.006961397In early January 2015, heavy rainstorms and floods hit 15 out of the 28 districts in Malawi and consequently the President declared a State of Disaster. Preliminary reportsby by Government and humanitarian partners estimate of 638,000 people are affected overall, and at least 174,000 people (numbers still being verified) have been displaced in the 3 worst hit districts (Phalombe, Nsanje and Chikwawa). Howver, access and transporation of relief items is a challenge.
CERF-funded interventions will be complementary to other actions already in place but insufficient to respond adequately and timely to the critical needs in the affected areas. The priorities for the flood response are:
The logistics cluster response is focuses on providing life-saving Humanitarian Aviation Services, CERF supported component of WFP project will reinforce the floods response by the provision of one (1) heavy duty helicopter for the transport of cargo and passengers for a period of 21 days under this funding to support the overall humanitarian response; fleet of specialized light and all terrain trucks for places hard to reach places. WFP will also support through provision of temporary storage facilities
The shelter and camp management cluster intervention aims at ensuring protection and a minimum of living conditions standards to the displaced population. The response includes technical support for CCCM, systematic and comprehensive data collection and registration of displaced communities; and provision of life-saving NFIs and establishment of emergency shelters in relocation sites.
The food security cluster response will food assistance to 270,281 flood-affected people in the first 3 months of the 6.5 month response period. This response is closely coordinated with the emergency agriculture intervention, focused on restoring the food production capacity of the most affected farming households, through agricultural input and livestock distribution for replanting by taking advantage of the remaining period of the rainy season as well as residual moisture. CERF funds will be funding the 6.3% of the overall agriculture cluster response. It will assist 16,000 vulnerable households with about 88,000 direct beneficiaries (50,000 women and 38,000 men) in the three most affected districts of Nsanje, Phalombe and Chikwawa.
The WASH cluster intervention will benefit a total of 25,000 flood affected target population, with the provision of water, sanitation and hygiene services from the CERF-funded emergency Intervention. The 25 camps are selected based on the severity of the disaster that affected the three districts in Chikwawa, Nsanje and Phalombe. The key outputs include provision of safe water services through water treatment and reticulated water systems. Temporary sanitation facilities will be constructed to ensure the affected population has access to gender segregated and gender-responsive latrine facilities.
The education cluster intervention aims at restoring and providing safe educational and recreational activities for children. The cluster will facilitate temporary learning to create safe protective spaces and resumption of school feeding to reduce hunger and increase participation and protection will be provided to 28,879 flood-affected learners through the provision of 689 school in box kits and 127 metric tons of food to 33 affected schools.

For example, the country has an estimated 78,000 internally displaced people and with persisting instability in the region, Burundi is also host to some 50,000 refugees, mostly from neighbouring Democratic Republic of Congo. 34,000 Burundian former refugees, who returned from Tanzania in the last quarter of 2012, are going through a slow reintegration processes, especially given land tenure issues in the country. Moreover, according to a rapid profiling conducted by IOM, in collaboration with the Burundian Red Cross, around 45,000 expelled Burundian people arrived in Burundi from Tanzania from August 2013 to the end of June 2014. These expelled migrants are vulnerable and require humanitarian assistance for their survival.
This is a submission for the underfunded window of CERF. The funding situation for humanitarian response remains poor. In total, USD 24,297,166 is required for the humanitarian response in the various sectors. USD 4,838,605 has already been received through various funding channels so far, including CERF in September 2013. However, more 80 per cent of the required funding is still lacking.
While there are many humanitarian challenges in Burundi that require funding, with only US 2. 5 million CERF underfunded grant available, the humanitarian country team have agreed to prioritize and target the 45,000 expelled Burundian migrants from Tanzania. This strategy was developed by the HCT to ensure maximum impact with CERF funds. The submission further prioritizes these sectior and projects: Food Security (WFP, FAO), Nutrition (WFP), Protection (IOM, UNICEF) and WASH (UNICEF) in the two provinces where the expellees are concentrated.

The impacts of the influx include increased vulnerability, food insecurity, decreased access to health care and water/sanitation services among others for both refugees, PRS and vulnerable Lebanese. Most of these occur in norther areas along the Lebanese/Syrian border which are facing huge strains on the Government's response capacity. The number of people in need is estimated at 1.16 million (including 45,000 PRS and 20,000 Lebanese returnees) for 2015.
The Lebanon portion of the Syria RRP requirement is US$ 2.14 billion. At the time of the CERF UFE application, the SRP was 47% funded.
This UFE CERF application targets approximately 336,350 people in the Akkar, Bekaa, Beirut, Mt Lebanon and Tripoli. These areas are among the most affected in terms of the effects of the refugee influx who require health care (primary health care, secondary care, reproductive health), WASH (water supply and repairs in informal settlements) and food security.

Renewed fighting in Eastern DRC in April 2012 led to the most recent influx of 35,000 refugees who crossed into Rwanda until mid-2013. This influx increased the number of persons needing humanitarian assistance by approximately 40%, more than doubling the refugee population which today stands at over 74,500. As a result of this crisis, an additional two refugee camps were constructed, bringing the total number of refugee camps to five. As such, humanitarian agencies are constantly on alert to ensure preparedness in case of another refugee influx.
In addition to refugees, Rwanda is also receiving thousands of Rwandan returnees each year, coming home after years—in some cases even decades—living in countries of asylum. In order to ensure protection and reintegration, returnees are initially received in transit centers near the border for registration before they are assisted to return to their places of origin, to rebuild their lives in Rwanda. Although it is very difficult to predict the number of returnees, for planning purposes 5,000 returnees are expected to pass through transit centers in 2015.
This intervention is focused primarily on the two new refugee camps—Kigeme and Mugombwa, home to 25,500 refugees. These two new camps face severe gaps in sanitation, hygiene and health facilities, especially reproductive, maternal and neonatal health. It also addresses Gihembe camp—one of the older camps in Rwanda, which is home to 15,000 refugees. Gihembe has faced critical shortages of water in recent years. The entire camp population is targeted for food security and nutrition interventions, given that they have the highest rates of acute and chronic malnutrition among the refugee population in the country, and given that this sector is facing critical funding shortages which could lead to ration cuts for refugees in these three camps, who are entirely dependent upon food aid. Additionally, basic health and WASH services in new transit centers—which are expected to host 5,000 returnees as well as any newly arriving refugees who may enter—are urgently needed to ensure that basic standards are met. The response will also support provision of emergency food rations to 5,000 forcibly returned Rwandans. 5,000 returnees living in drought affected aeras are extremely vulnerable to critical food shortages which will persist until the next harvest.
With UN agencies facing shortfalls in funding, an underfunded allocation has been made of US 2.5 million. The HCT has prioritized and therefore included in this submission the following projects in these sectors WASH (IOM, UNHCR, UNICEF), Food Security (WFP, FAO), SGBV (UN Women) and Reproductive Health (UNFPA).

Impacts include forced displacement, mobility restrictions, SGBV, APM/UXO and forced recruitment among others. Most of these occur in remote and difficult-to-access territories with weak or no state response capacity. The number of people in need is estimated at 4.8 million for 2015.
The Colombia 2015 humanitarian requirement is estimated to be US$ 136,100,000. Based on the agency reports, Colombia's humanitarian funding was both below the non-SRP average of countries recommended by the CERF UFWG.
This CERF request will help implement immediate and urgent life-saving activities for approximately 48,730 people in the Arauca
Choco, Cauca, Putumayo and Valle del Cauca Departments. These areas are among the most affected in terms of the effects of armed conflict and require food assistance, health supplies/services, protection services and access to water and WASH assistance.

The most affected province is Tete with 1,619 cases and 20 deaths. The case fatality rate above 1% indicates poor management of the outbreak and a need to respond through health and WASH activities. The government's ability to respond to the cholera outbreak is limited due to the attention and resources directed towards the ongoing flood response in Zambezia Province.
On 25 February, the RC for Mozambique submitted a CERF rapid response application requesting some $700,000 to immediately scale up the health and WASH response to the outbreak.15-RR-MOZ-13756-NR02jennifer.topping@one.un.org#Jennifer ToppingEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2015-12-06T00:00:002016-11-01T00:00:00HealthHealth42372787702443032445674813772Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene4203737278793154249036195786851580002015-03-03T00:00:0036229115-UF-IRQ-1382815-UF-IRQ-13828_Iraq_Mar2015_ApplicationAsiaIraqWestern AsiaWestern AsiaUFDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-03-03T00:00:002015-03-03T00:00:002015-04-15T00:00:008000000.007988899The humanitarian situation in Iraq is affected by an influx of Syrian refugees. The impacts of the influx include increased vulnerability, food insecurity, decreased access to health care and water/sanitation services among others. Most of these occur in areas along the Iraqi/Syrian border which contains 90% of incoming refugees. The number of Syrian refugees in need is estimated at 235,000 million.
The Iraq portion of the Syria RRP requirement is US$ 474 million. At the time of the CERF UFE application, the SRP was 35% funded.
This UFE CERF application targets approximately 100,000 people in the Kurdistan regions of Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah Governorates. These areas are among the most affected in terms of the effects of the refugee influx and refugees require food assistance, health supplies and services, protection services and WASH response.

Approximately 150,000 people, mostly women and children, have crossed into Niger. This includes both Nigerian refugees and Nigerien returnees. Further, due to attacks in Niger in the Bosso and Diffa, a further 50,000 people have been internally displaced by end of March 2015.
The response focuses on protection of the displaced and providing them with lifesaving services. At the same time an objective is to increase access of humanitarian work.
The joint responses include 11 projects I including a health response (UNICEF, WHO and UNFPA) who focus in the same geographic areas and targeting the same health centres. UNICEF will provide critical medications while WHO will assist in epidemiological surveillance, and provision of drugs and trauma kits for treatment of those injured. UNFPA will provide reproductive health kits and services.
IOM and HCR will provide shelter and NFI with UNHCR focusing on camps and IOM in other areas where displaced are hosted. On protection side, UNHCR will work on documentation and registration, protection monitoring, border monitoring and family tracing while UNICEF will focus on children and psychosocial support, fostering children and providing a protective and safe environment. UNICEF will also provide WASH services alongside nutrition programmes aimed at treatment of severe acute malnutrition while WFP will work towards treatment of moderate acute malnutrition as well as feeding through general food distributions. WFP through its logistics cluster will also support the response of the humanitarian community through UNHAS flights.

Approximately 1.2 million people have been internally displaced in the northeast of the country alone and nearly 200,000 people have fled to neighbouring Cameroon (27,000), Chad (66,000) and Niger (102,000) since May 2013. It is estimated that more than 1,000 civilians have already been killed in fighting associated with Boko Haram in 2015, while thousands of others have suffered horrendous atrocities. Hundreds of children have been killed, injured, abducted or recruited to fight and more than 300 schools have been severely damaged or destroyed in the north-east. Women and girls have been trafficked, raped, abducted and forcibly married. Protection needs of women, girls and children remain paramount. Inadequate shelters and protection in living facilities continue to pose protection challenges. Nutrition data indicates that 1.5 million malnourished children under 5 years of age and pregnant and lactating women in need of assistance in the affected area. In addition, 2.2 million people remain in need of protection, 4.6 million in need of food security, 3.5 in need of health care, 1.9 million in need of emergency shelter and NFIs, 2.2 million in need of WASH and 0.4 million in need of emergency education services.
The overall strategic objectives of the response remain those as formulated in the 2015 Strategic Response Plan (SRP) with specific focus on the North East; i) To track and analyze risk and vulnerability, integrating findings into humanitarian and development Programming; ii) Deliver coordinated and integrated life-saving assistance to people affected by emergencies and iii) Support to vulnerable populations to better cope with shocks by responding earlier to warning signals, by reducing post-crisis recovery times and by building capacity of national actors. Since 90 percent of the IDP population lives in host communities, and only some 10 percent in camps, these communities have been directly affected by the crisis as well. Therefore, the overall humanitarian response in North East Nigeria targets some 5.6 million people.
Priority areas for the response supported by CERF are therefore identified in protection, shelter/NFIs, food, nutrition security and provision of air services.
In the protection sector, there is a need to strengthen protection by presence in all four targeted states, Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and Gombe;.
In the nutrition sector, humanitarian partners currently delivering life-saving assistance in the North East have exhausted their nutrition supplies. RUTF nutrition supplies aim to reach 47,500 children under the age of 5 suffering from SAM in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states. These supplies shall target only the SAM cases.
In the shelter and NFIs sector, The CERF funds shall enable the distribution of 3,635 emergency shelter kits to vulnerable IDP households in the 4 targeted states.
In the food sector, some 49,828 people are considered most vulnerable among IDPs and host communities. Interventions shall be in emergency food distribution in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states.
Security is also considered a priority for this response to secure access. Increasing security messages and providing air services, particularly to Borno will help to ensure effective delivery of assistance by CERF as well as monitoring and evaluation of the response.
Thus the following 8 projects are included in the CERF response with an approximate allocation of US 10 million:
Protection (UNICEF, UNFPA, UNHCR); Nutrition (UNICEF), Shelter/NFI’s (IOM), Food Security (FAO), Security (UNDSS), Logistics (WFP).

According to the indicators in the national contingency plan for drought seven districts are affected by this emergency (Bekily, Beloha, Ambovombe and Tsihombe in the region of Androy, Amboassary in the region of Anosy and Ampanihy and Betioky in the region of Atsimo Andrefana) - three districts (Amboasary, Ambovombe and Bekily) are severely affected. A multi-sectorial rapid assessment was conducted in mid-February jointly by the Clusters (Nutrition, Health, Food security, WASH), The Ministry of Public Health (MOH), the National Nutrition Office (ONN) and the National Bureau for the Management of crises and natural disasters (BNGRC) supported by OCHA. On 9 March the Resident Coordinator submitted a concept note to the CERF. CERF requested the Country team to provide further information regarding the impact of the drought and focus more tightly on drought related needs.

Vanuatu is a country of more than 80 islands with a projected population of 270,000 people. The Category 5 cyclone caused widespread damage across all six provinces of the archipelago – Malampa, Penama, Sanma, Shefa, Tafea, and Torba. A state of emergency was officially declared on 21 March covering all affected provinces, including the capital, Port Vila. An estimated 166,600 people have been affected by the cyclone – more than half the country’s population. So far, 11 fatalities have been reported while 3,852 people are still living in the 30 evacuation centres on the main island of Efate.
Under the leadership of the HC, UNDAC and Pacific Humaniataran Team, a CERF request was developed for $5 million focusing on urgent needs in the first three months. The prioritized sectors include logistics, emergency telecommunications, food security, shelter, WASH, and health. The proposed projects and priorities are consistent with the Flash Appeal that was jointly developed with the government.15-RR-VUT-14293-NR01131;#Osnat LubraniEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2015-12-30T00:00:002016-02-10T00:00:002016-08-05T22:39:48EducationEducation30518865313832871512552997061353Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI31653922708744944180867415761HealthHealth49943603291102724991370220120133230405Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene9412129882240010196129042310045500Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture12392123882478011507124072391448694Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security157082356239270150922263837730770002015-03-30T00:00:0036919915-RR-TCD-1434915-RR-TCD-14349_Chad_Mar2015_ApplicationAfricaChadMiddle AfricaMiddle AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-03-27T00:00:002015-03-27T00:00:002015-05-27T00:00:002015-05-27T00:00:003998056.003517882This submission is part of the region-wide response addressing the needs of people fleeing from violence and insecurity stemming from Boko Haram. In Chad about 85,000 are directly affected by the crisis, with over 18,000 refugees from Nigeria, 8,500 Chadian returnees, 15,000 IDPs and some 43,000 people from host communities. People who arrived were traumatized and in poor health and nutrition situation after having crossed the lake or having walked for days without any assistance. Many have witnessed or have been victims of violence and atrocities. Initially they were welcomed generously by communities and Chadian authorities alike, who rapidly made available sites at Ngouboua and Dar es Salaam (Baga Sola) for refugee camps. The local population, having strong family, linguistic and commercial ties with people from Borno state hosted the returnees in their own homes.
The response strategy includes the following strategic objectives: i) Provide life-saving assistance to people in areas affected by the movement of population and address access is sues, and ii) to address the protection issues resulting from the impact of the Nigeria crisis. CERF funds will be restricited to providing lifesaving assistance to the newcomers and to host people who are no longer able to cope. CERF funds will be used for camp establishment and UNHCR is providing multi sectora assistance to refugees in refugee sites. Those in and out of camps, refugees, IDP’s and hosts are targeted for food, nutrition, WASH, health and protection activities.
While 14 projects were originally submitted for an allocated amount of US 4 million for Chad. However, revisions resulted in a reduction of projects down to 10. The withdrawn projects were not in line with CERF’s lifesaving criteria.14 projects were originally submitted for an allocated amount of $4 million for Chad. One project (UNFPA) was withdrawn during the revision process based on guidance from the CERF secretariat that projects for under $100,000 were ineligible. One project (UNDP for DSS) was not accepted by DSS HQ who instructed the field colleagues to withdraw the project. The CERF secretariat found that two projects (FAO and UNICEF education) did not adhere to the CERF’s life-saving criteria. Despite guidance from the CERF, these were not revised sufficiently at the field level; therefore, the CERF secretariat will recommend that the ERC reject them. In the end, 10 projects will be recommended to the ERC for funding and the final amount to be disbursed will not reach the $4 million originally requested.

It started in two states in December 2014 but spread to 14 states by April 2015 with more than 3,500 individuals affected. The overall case fatality rate is 1.3%; however, this rises dramatically in states like East Darfur and Kassala where treatment is minimal. Federal MOH with full support from WHO and UNICEF has led the response to the outbreak. 102 localities in 16 states of Sudan have been prioritized for the implementation of all the components of the response and containment plan (risk Assessment Feb-March 2015). With funding from the MoH, UNICEF and the Measles and Rubella Initiative, health partners have carried out emergency vaccination campaigns in some high risk localities; however, more is required to stem the outbreak.
CERF grants will be used to contain the outbreak in 22 first priority-high risk localities in four Darfur states (North, South, Central and East) where the situation is aggravated by additional factors such as; instability, conflict induced displacement (long-term and new), poor living conditions in crowded camps and camp-like settlements, and disrupted health services with unequal population access to essential health care. The activities include procurement of vaccines and supplies, vaccination and Vitamin A supplementation of children between 6 month to 15 years of age, proper management of measles cases, and community mobilization and awareness for optimal uptake of vaccination, and improved communities’ behavior for prevention.
The target is to vaccinate and provide Vitamin A to 1,849,656 children (at least 95 % coverage) in 22 priority one - high risk localities in North, South, East and Central Darfur states aiming to interrupt the transmission of the measles virus at community level and the further spread of the disease, and to improve the access to timely and proper measles case-management. The combined effect of these two actions would lead to the control of the outbreak, and a significant reduction of the measles-induced morbidity, mortality and disabilities.On 7 April 2015, the RC/HC ai for Sudan sent a rapid response request for $4 million for UNICEF and WHO to respond to the outbreak. The amount was considered high in comparison with other disease outbreak allocations and as a proportion of the overall funding requirements; therefore, the CERF secretariat instructed the agencies to reduce the request to no more than $2 million focusing on the highest priority localities. The request was resubmitted on 30 April.15-RR-SDN-14565-NR04el-mostafa.benlamlih@undp.org#El-Mostafa BenlamlihEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-02-12T00:00:002017-01-16T00:00:00HealthHealth9483331263949596875384116687655018261462015-05-08T00:00:0037127815-RR-CHL-1469615-RR-CHL-14696_Chile_Apr2015_ApplicationAmericasChileLatin America and the CaribbeanSouth AmericaRRFloodBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-04-23T00:00:002015-04-23T00:00:002015-05-18T00:00:002015-05-22T00:00:001248220.00777854The humanitarian situation in Chile is affected by a flood emergency which stuck three regions of northern Chile on 24 March 2015. As of 12 April, the National Emergency Office of the Ministry of Interior and Public Security (ONEMI) reports 26 deaths, 125 missing, over 160,000 people affected - of which 29,741 are directly impacted. In addition, 8,325 homes are reported as uninhabitable. Nearly 11,460 homes will need to be repaired. Most of the affected people are currently living with host communities and relatives. However, 2,527 people are housed in schools as temporary shelters . At the moment, there are no planned solutions for the return of people in temporary shelters to other locations.
The impacts of the floods include decreased water & sanitation services, shelter needs and decreased access to health care among others. The most affected municipalities are Copiapo, Chanaral, Tierra Amarilla, Diego de Almagro, Alto del Carmen, Freirina, Huasco and Vallenar. The number of Chileans affected by the floods is estimated at 160,000.
On 23 April, the RC for Chile submitted a rapid response application for $1.2 million to support urgent three-month needs. The initial application required focusing on gaps that were unmet by the government response in three priority sectors. The key priorities put forward in the revised submission for CERF funding were WASH, shelter/NFIs, and health. This final application is for US$781,560 and targets approximately 35,000 people in the Atacama region. This area is among the most affected in terms of the effects of the floods and requires health supplies and services, shelter supplies and WASH response to complement the Government response.15-RR-CHL-14696-NR01EnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-02-18T00:00:002016-07-20T00:00:00Camp Coordination and Camp ManagementCamp Coordination / Management73017042434760177425344968FullyWater, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene629114001202926440130571949739789FullyHealthHealth3224716510389343176241105521444Fully2015-05-13T00:00:0037320115-RR-NPL-1484515-RR-NPL-14845_Nepal_May2015_ApplicationAsiaNepalSouthern AsiaSouthern AsiaRREarthquakeGeophysicalNatural Disaster20152015-05-01T00:00:002015-05-01T00:00:002015-05-08T00:00:002015-05-13T00:00:0015000000.0014913716A 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck Nepal on 25 April at 11:56 local time creating large-scale damage and many casualties. According to initial estimations and based on the latest earthquake intensity mapping, over 8 million people are affected in 39 of Nepal’s 75 districts. The Central and Western Region, including the Kathmandu Valley districts, are most affected. Over 2 million people live in the 11 most critically hit districts. The estimated number of affected people was calculated using data from the 2011 census and Government guidance that 50 per cent of the total population in the earthquake-hit districts is affected. According to the Government and as of 29 April, the earthquake caused 5,006 deaths, most of them in Bhaktapur, Kathmandu and Lalitpur. Over 10,194 people have been injured.
On 26 April, the ERC agreed to an initial allocation of $15 million to jumpstart the response. On 1 May, the RC/HC for Nepal submitted a rapid response application for $15 million to support urgent three-month needs in line with the Flash Appeal. The key priorities put forward for CERF funding were food, logistics, WASH, shelter/NFIs, health, and protection.As agreed by Chief of CERF, due to the urgent needs and evolving situation on the ground in Nepal, maximum flexibility in terms of project targets and budget lines would be allowable for this emergency.
Similarly, due to the massive devastation and the difficulty accessing remote locations, transportation costs may be high in relation to other emergencies.
Lastly, due to the need for urgent surge support to Nepal, international travel for surge staff is justified.15-RR-NPL-14845-NR02EnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-02-08T00:00:002016-07-20T00:00:00Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene4918114754219672345398136193181591378314ProtectionProtection375468667949104341736818676934611375322180949Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI7631312451020082377337131683209020409843HealthHealth5375671332436708106323331567577890901459900Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security1528312110513638821528322110523638847277662015-05-06T00:00:0037420215-RR-RWA-1500615-RR-RWA-15006_Rwanda_May2015_ApplicationAfricaRwandaEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-05-10T00:00:002015-05-10T00:00:002015-05-22T00:00:002015-05-26T00:00:007994773.007984746On March 31 2015, Rwanda experienced a sudden influx of refugees fleeing from Burundi in advance of elections in that country. As of May 6, 24,967 refugees have entered Rwanda from Burundi, with a daily arrival rate currently averaging 520 new arrivals per day but which was averaging over 2,000 new arrivals daily earlier in the month. The Rwanda UNCT expects an additional 65,000 to enter the country in the coming months.
On 10 May 2015, the RC for Rwanda sent a CERF rapid response request to address the immediate four-month needs of 30,000 refugees currently in country. The request includes food and nutrition assistance, shelter materials, health services, safe water, sanitation facilities and protection at the Bugesera and Nyanza reception centers and the newly established Mahama refugee camp.

An estimated population of 50,000 asylum seekers are in the overcrowded village of Kagunga. While arrivals were initially expected in all Tanzanian regions bordering Burundi, an overwhelming number of asylum seekers selected the route via Kagunga, a small border village on the shores of Lake Tanganyika, from where they attempt to board a ferry to Kibirizi / Kigoma. Kagunga is an isolated village without any water or sanitation facilities, and as the areas is mountainous, vast groups of people trying to camp are forced to do so in a very densely congested area. People are using the lake for sanitation and also as drinking water, which means that the outbreak of waterborne diseases and other illnesses is a matter of time only unless life-saving measures are taken immediately.
The humanitarian situation in Kagunga village remains difficult – and at present even the minimum capacity to assist all asylum seekers is absent. Transportation is also slow, as only 1,800 people can be transported by boat per day from the Kagunga village to Kigoma Transit Centre. Key challenges remain in WASH, Health, Shelter and Security in Kagunga village, which is overcrowded; slow transportation out of Kagunga village; lack of transit facilities in Kigoma; congestion of Nyarugusu Camp; food assistance and lack of NFIs. There are high risk of malaria, respiratory illnesses, and diarrhoea which present major health concerns. As of 14 May there were 70 confirmed cases of cholera reported.
To address this the priorities for a CERF response were outlined to support 40,000 refugees for 3 months. Multi sector assistance to be provided addressing immediate needs include protection - fast and onward transportation of asylum seekers out of transit centers to camps is a main priority as well as registration and profiling of arrivals and family tracing and reunification of separated children. Health is focusing on provision of basic medicine and supplies, kits for maternal health and vaccinating arrivals. WASH is constructing infrastructure in the new camp for potable and washing water and latrines are being constructed. Food assistance and NFI’s will be provided as well as emergency shelter. The package is for approximately US7.7 million which includes Protection (UNICEF, UNHCR, IOM), Shelter and NFI’s (UNHCR), Food Security (WFP), health (WHO, UNICEF, UNHCR) and WASH (UNHCR, UNICEF).

Most new arrivals are from Umdoreen, Haeban and Delami counties in Sudan.
After protracted negotiations with UNHCR, in February 2015 the Government granted permission for the expansion of Ajuong Thok camp to accommodate up to 40,000 persons and to the establishment of a new camp in Pamir with an initial capacity of 20,000. This unprecedented move by the Government has provided a window of opportunity to respond assertively to improve conditions for the refugees.
UNHCR, UNICEF and WFP and their respective partners have been responding to the increased needs of the refugees in Ajuong Thok camp, both new arrivals from Sudan as well as those relocating from Yida. However, existing services are no longer able to cope with the increasing caseload and there is a serious deterioration in living conditions for refugees with commensurate risks to health and wellbeing. Water supply coverage is generally below the recommended Sphere Standard; the Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rate is 11.1 per cent among newly arrived children; the ratio of pupils per classroom has increased to 150. Owing to poor WASH conditions there was an outbreak of acute watery diarrhoea in March 2015, with 330 cases reported. Increased new arrivals have put additional pressure on the existing food pipeline in catering for a standard full basket of food assistance. While vaccination at both Ajuong Thok and Yida is ongoing, given the crowded living conditions the risk of a major disease outbreak remains high. Newly arrived refugees have few belongings, lack livelihoods alternatives, and have little option but to rely on humanitarian assistance for their survival.On 19 May 2015, the HC for South Sudan sent a CERF rapid response request for $5.9 million to support the expansion of the camp as well as provide assistance to 10,000 new refugees. The request includes UNHCR, UNOPS, WFP and UNICEF.

This region suffers from high levels of poverty, malnutrition and poor infrastructure. The floods damaged housing, schools, and especially sanitation facilities. Floods are affecting urban and peri-urban areas of Iquitos as well as rural areas. As of 25 May, approximately 7,000 people were residing in 50 overcrowded collective shelters in the urban and peri-urban areas. While the regional government is providing some assistance in the form of food aid, it does not have the capacity to scale up urgently needed health and WASH services. The government requested the assistance of the humanitarian community to support the flood response operation.On 19 May 2015, the RC for Peru sent a rapid response request for $1.3 million to respond to the needs of flood-affected communities in Loreto Region of Peru. The CERF secretariat responded requesting additional information on the life threatening situation and recommended agencies focus on the most immediate needs rather than underlying issues of poverty and protection. The RC resubmitted the application on 26 May; however, several activities continued to focus on longer-term assistance and underlying issues (such as training/capacity building, and GBV and child protection). The CERF asked that these components be removed from the projects. The final request was sent on 29 May with a focus strictly on provision of immediate NFI, shelter, health and WASH assistance and the provision of seeds to restart agricultural activities.15-RR-PER-15160-NR01EnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-03-09T00:00:002016-07-20T00:00:00Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene4660569510355525464231167722032Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI115888420421069108421534195Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture22991564386323931564395778202015-06-05T00:00:0037920715-RR-UKR-1538415-RR-UKR-15384_Ukraine_Jun2015_ApplicationEuropeUkraineEastern EuropeEastern EuropeRRPost-conflict NeedsConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-06-08T00:00:002015-06-08T00:00:002015-06-24T00:00:002015-06-24T00:00:005091984.004920172The humanitarian situation in Ukraine has severely deteriorated since the beginning of 2015, following the intensification of conflict in January-February in the east of the country. This resulted in additional displacement and suffering of civilians, and further constraints to access, both for humanitarian actors to reach people in need and to affected population to access life-saving assistance. The intensity of the conflict somewhat subsided in March, following the Minsk II agreement (11 February) although the situation remains fragile and clashes continue to be reported in areas along the frontline. There is now a window of opportunity available for further - rapidly - stepping up the humanitarian response to those in need.
The targeted CERF request focuses on immediate assistance to an estimated 300,000 people of Donetsk and Luhansk in limited government-controlled and non-government controlled areas that are in close proximity to the line of contact between Government and armed forces. The request aims to bolster logistics capacity in the east, provide critical medical supplies and services, and deliver safe water through water trucking and rapid repair of water systems.On 8 June 2015, the HC ai for Ukraine sent a CERF rapid response request for $4 million. This came after several rounds of negotiation between the CERF secretariat (upon guidance from the ERC) and OCHA Ukraine on a concept note for funding. The HC originally suggested $20 million in the concept note; however, the ERC and CERF secretariat noted this was particularly high and requested further identification and targeting of the priorities.15-RR-UKR-15384-NR02tyszkoj@unaids.org#Jacek TyszkoEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-04-21T00:00:002016-04-25T00:00:002017-01-03T00:00:00HealthHealth1063773655114718881282985222136505111122399Common Services - LogisticsLogistics61330903703552219727496452Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene12690057810070500014310065190079500015000002015-06-19T00:00:0038120915-RR-COD-1555615-RR-COD-15556_DR Congo_Jun2015_ApplicationAfricaDemocratic Republic of the CongoMiddle AfricaMiddle AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-06-24T00:00:002015-06-24T00:00:002015-08-06T00:00:002015-08-06T00:00:008831907.006792923More than 10,000 people, mostly Burundian refugees but also repatriated Congolese refugees and returning Congolese economic migrants have fled to the DRC due to pre election violence in Burundi. Most have fled to South Kivu which borders Burundi. Upon the advice of UNHCR, the Government of the DRC has accepted to grant them the status of refugees prima facie. Ten per cent of the refugees, considered as the most vulnerable, have initially been taken into transit centers in anticipation of their transfer to a more permanent site. Congolese authorities have decided on the relocation of Burundian refugees to a camp near the village of Lusenda with a capacity for 10,000 people. As of yet, over 3,200 refugees have accepted to be transferred to this site. Most others have settled in host families within local communities in South Kivu’s Fizi and Uvira territories.
Tensions in the volatile host areas are exacerbated by the new arrivals, generating protection needs. Partly as a result of the limited control over affected areas by State authorities, these areas are also prone to activities from numerous armed groups, to banditry, and to resource-based inter-community conflicts. humanitarian actors have observed a significant increase of tensions between local and guest communities, especially in sites where most of the Burundian refugees are currently settled
According to a multisectoral assessment by the Rapid Response mechanism to Population Movements (RRMP) and additional cluster evaluations recently carried out in the affected area, the most urgent needs include access to water and sanitation structures, as well as access to food for refugees. These needs are followed by a high need in Non-Food-Items (NFI) and access to schools for the children. Moreover, access to primary health care by the refugees, continues to be a priority for the humanitarian community.
Objectives of the response include: i) addressing multi sector life saving needs of incoming population as well as families who host them ii) alleviating pressure on communities in host areas and iii) providing protection including in Lusenda camp. As such, WHO, UNICEF and UNFPA will be working to increase access to primary health services, replenishing emergency stocks of medical kits and vaccines, and meeting reproductive health needs. UNICEF will also provide a nutrition response. UNHCR will be providing protection (refugee tracking, documentation) services as well as multi sector assistance within the Lusenda camp while WFP and FAO will be providing food and livelihood assistance targeting camp and host populations.

It is estimated that over 750,000 individuals have been displaced or cut off from assistance as a result, being in locations that are inaccessible through pre-existing response modalities due to insecurity and logistical constraints. Building on the successful “Southern Unity Survival Kit Operation” project, CERF funding will provide conflict-affected people in remote locations with lifesaving supplies through the provision of a survival kit designed to meet immediate needs. Each nine-kilogram kit contains items to provide a family of five with emergency shelter, nutrition, health supplies and livelihood support.On 6 July 2015, the HC a.i. for South Sudan sent a CERF rapid response request for $5.8 million for the delivery of survival kits to some 30,000 stranded households in Greater Upper Nile region. The request was subsequently reduced to $5.1 million following reductions in recurrent staffing costs of some of the agencies, as well as a reduction of inputs of some agencies to ensure consistency in beneficiary figures.

An estimated 607,606 individuals have fled South Sudan into neighbouring countries in Ethiopia, Kenya, Uganda and Sudan. Sudan has received the highest number of new arrivals with 191,584.
Prior to the recent influx, White Nile State had received 78,356 individuals, 58% of all South Sudanese refugees arriving in Sudan. The population is now at 103,703 refugees in White Nile, with an arrival rate of between 150 and 200 per day. This large influx of 29,500 since early May has stretched the basic services and space available across all sites.
The objective of the CERF funded support is to enhance services in six existing sites (excluding Dabat Bosin as no new arrivals have been received) and 2 border areas, in White Nile with a concentration on those sites with the highest number of new arrivals. The focus will be on rapidly meeting the new and additional needs required in the areas of Non Food Item’s/Emergency Shelter, Food Security and Livelihood health, Health, Nutrition, Protection, and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene due to the large influx of new arrivals in a short period of time. An integrated approach will be ensured to enhance life-saving services and improve the underlying protection environment to make sure these services can be adequately accessed.

While precipitation has consistently been below average in 2014 and 2015, the shortfall has been far greater in May and June 2015. In May 2015, total precipitation was 57 per cent below average. Analysis demonstrates that 2015 recorded the lowest average rainfall in the last 5 years. According to EU-JRC, 2015 is the driest season since 2008 (drought year) in the four most affected provinces—South and North Hwanghae, South Pyongan and South Hamgyong.
As a consequence of drought conditions and resulting decreases in water volume in dams, rivers and underground reservoirs there has been a significant increase in the incidence of waterborne diseases and other health concerns. As many communities rely on domestic water wells, the drying or already dry water bodies are leading people to use unsafe water. The effects of unsafe drinking water and poor sanitation is a major concern in DPRK as 88 per cent of diarrhoeal diseases are attributed to unsafe water and 13 per cent of deaths for under-five children are attributed to diarrhoea (second biggest cause of death amongst children).
Diarrhoea directly contributes to increased rates of malnutrition. Based on an assessment of all CMAM programme sites nationwide, the total number of wasted children under five ‘with and without complications’, treated in the CMAM programme from January to June 2015 is 30,158. This is a significant increase when considering only 26,407 children under five were treated for malnutrition from January to December in 2014. Typically, there is a spike in the number of children treated during the lean season so there are serious concerns that numbers will significantly increase. Field assessment missions in May/June 2015 to South Hwanghae and North Pyongan Provinces identified the most severe cases of SAM ever observed, with children’s heights and weights reported as being minus 4 and minus 5 standard deviations from the norm (usually overserved as severe as minus 2 or 3 standard deviations). As a result of the prevailing drought conditions the health system is unable to cope with the increased diarrhoeal cases. In particular, cases of malnutrition are presenting with severe dehydration and the health system is facing a severe shortage of oral rehydration solutions (ORS) needed to prevent death from diarrhoea.
In nutrition, the response targets malnourished children under 5 and pregnant and lactating women through implementation of an integrated treatment for malnutrition, including supplementary food rations like fortified biscuits, blended foods, oils and pulses; promoting lifesaving infant and young child feeding practices; micronutrient supplementation; and other medicines required to combat malnutrition. UN agencies currently work in 29 counties in nutrition but will be expanding these programmes to reach an additional 60 counties.
In WASH, the response focuses on expanding the provision of safe drinking water as well as preventing the escalation of incidence of diarrhoea through safe hygiene practices. The interventions in this sector include: providing supplies for treatment and safe storage of drinking water, such as water purification units, tablets, water treatment sets, foldable jerry cans and buckets; supplies and promotion of safer hygiene practices, including soap and hygiene education materials.
The application includes two joint projects in nutrition (UNICEF, WFP) and two joint projects in WASH (UNICEF, WHO).15-RR-PRK-15797-NR01darlene.tymo@wfp.org#Darlene TymoEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-05-18T00:00:002016-11-29T00:00:00NutritionNutrition44373044373459392358769526113899Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene372505360005732503735059946063681012100602015-08-11T00:00:0038521315-RR-YEM-1580915-RR-YEM-15809_Yemen_Jul2015_ApplicationAsiaYemenWestern AsiaWestern AsiaRRPost-conflict NeedsConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-07-20T00:00:002015-07-20T00:00:002015-09-15T00:00:002015-09-16T00:00:003392792.002592511Even before the escalation of conflict in March 2015, Yemen faced one of the world’s largest humanitarian crises. The current conflict has affected most of the country, leaving 21.1 million people – 80 per cent of the population – in need of some form of humanitarian assistance. The fighting led to the evacuation of all UN and INGO international staff in March 2015 and whilst 110 international UN staff have returned to Sana’a, there is an urgent need, in line with the L3 activation, to increase international UN and INGO staff presence across the country. Funding is needed to facilitate the rapid establishment of security prerequisites and operational necessities for international staff to operate in areas of most humanitarian need. Area hubs have been identified for the UN and INGO to establish presence across the country. The CERF funds will directly benefit 1056 UN humanitarian workers and the staff of 34 NGOs working from these area hubs. The hubs will enable the serving of 11,442,573 beneficiaries in Aden, Hudaydah, Sa’ada, Sana’a, and Taizz, and the funding will focus on the establishment of emergency telecommunications and data sharing and the provision of adequate security and safety measures for the humanitarian community.15-RR-YEM-15809-NR04Jamie McGoldrick#Jamie McGoldrickEnglishJulia Wittig2016-08-01T00:00:002016-09-04T00:00:002016-10-07T00:00:002016-12-22T00:00:00Common Services - LogisticsLogistics0107610760001076FullyCommon Services - Emergency TelecommunicationsEmergency Telecommunications0276276000276FullyCommon Services - Safety and SecurityCoordination and support services0103010300001030Fully2015-09-10T00:00:0038621415-RR-SSD-1581015-RR-SSD-15810_South Sudan_Jul2015_ApplicationAfricaSouth SudanEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRCholeraBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-07-20T00:00:002015-07-20T00:00:002015-08-11T00:00:002015-08-14T00:00:002702501.002637025Eighteen months following the onset of the crisis in December 2013, the humanitarian needs still remain high in South Sudan. More than 1.6 million people are currently displaced in Protection of Civilian (PoC) and non-PoC displacement sites primarily in Jonglei, Unity, and Upper Nile states. Despite continued response by the humanitarian community, the situation among the displaced people and the host communities remains poor.
The humanitarian situation has been compounded by a cholera outbreak declared on 23 June 2015. As of 11 July 2015, 862 cholera cases including 34 deaths have been reported in Juba and Bor counties of Central Equatoria and Jonglei States respectively. In Juba County 794 cases including 33 deaths have been reported from 75 villages in eight Payams. In Bor, as of July 7th, 72 cases including 1 death have been reported.
While the initial cases were traced back to PoC displacement camps, the cholera outbreak is closely tied tied to the current economic crisis. Public water supply provision for drinking and domestic use is extremely limited and is very much dependent on water trucking and the availability of bottled water. An increase of 50 - 200% in the cost of water has reduced the level of safe water available leading to poor sanitation and hygiene practices and making the communities more vulnerable to the spread of waterborne diseases such as cholera.
The strategic objective of the cholera response is to reduce morbidity and mortality associated with cholera and prevent its spread through effective response and control mechanisms in cholera affected and high risk areas of South Sudan. The priorities identified within the national response framework to be funded by this CERF rapid response include: procurement of life saving supplies and medicines for case management, emergency support supervision, deployment of qualified staff, provision of life saving WASH supplies. Specifically, health partners will focus on procuring essential medical supplies (cholera kits), establishing and deploying rapid response teams to all high risk areas, ensuring adequate care through case management of cholera patients, and increasing accessibility of oral rehydration sites within health facilities, while WASH partners will ensure chlorination of water sources in high risk areas, conduct systematic water quality testing, procure and distribute supplies such purification chemicals and support solid and liquid waste disposal in affected locations. To maximize the use of limited resources, aid agencies have prioritized activities with maximum impact and are leveraging both human and financial resources to avoid duplication of activities. The required cholera outbreak response is beyond the available capacity of the Ministry of Health and other government institutions without significant support from the international community.
This request is a joint WASH/Health project between UNICEF and WHO with a requested US2.6 million for the initial response.

As of 9 July 2015, 11,165 new arrivals have been assisted since January 2015, with the majority of the new arrivals arriving since mid-April following the general deterioration of the situation in Burundi. The interagency response and interest to the emergency has been good but, there are glaring gaps in protection and assistance against the standards and indicators expected in an emergency response. The needs are critical in Protection (registration, child protection, GBV prevention & response), WASH, health (including nutrition and reproductive health), shelter and food.
The CERF’s niche in this humanitarian funding will be primarily for life-saving response measures in 1) water and sanitation, 2) registration and protection of persons with specific needs, in particular the large number of women and children, 3) and shelter, as well as health and food/nutrition. The strategic objective of the CERF request is for ensure refugees get status recognition, care for unaccompanied minors and ensure emergency response services attain SPHERE standards for water and shelter. The health activity for cholera screening is directly linked to adequate water and sanitation provision. This rapid response is based on the draft Uganda chapter of the RRP.On 24 July, the RC for Uganda submitted a rapid response request for $3.3 million for 10 projects addressing urgent needs of new Burundian refugees in Uganda.
The Uganda RR application originally included three individual UNHCR proposals: health, shelter/NFI, and protection. To reduce the administrative and management burden and because all projects were specfically targeting refugees in a refugee operation, CERF secretariat requested that UNHCR resubmit as one multi-sector refugee assistance proposal. Subsequently, projects 15-RR-HCR-033 (helath) and 15-RR-HCR-034 (protection) were noted as withdrawn and 15-RR-HCR-035 was marked as multi-sector refugee assistance rather than just shelter/NFI.

The situation is more pronounced in the north-eastern Afar, Amhara and Tigray, central and eastern Oromia and the south-eastern pastoralist areas of the country. The 2015 Humanitarian Requirements Document (HRD) targets some 2.9 million beneficiaries for relief food assistance; an estimated 2.4 million people for nutrition interventions and an additional 1.4 million people in drought and flood-prone areas for WASH support. A further 5.8 million people are targeted for health response. These figures will be adjusted based on the findings of the latest seasonal assessment findings, of which the preliminary results indicate a deteriorated overall food security situation and increase in beneficiary numbers and requirements. As it stands, the HRD is 52 per cent funded, with US$203 million contributions.
Considering the HRD funding status and limited funding prospects, the $10 million CERF allocation prioritized the most pressing emergency needs to address drought conditions in north-eastern and southern Ethiopia, with life-saving interventions focusing on nutrition and related supportive sectors including WASH, agriculture and health, as well as response to “underserved” refugee populations in Afar and Addis Ababa.
This CERF application would support aid agencies that are working to respond to immediate life-saving needs of a targeted 982,754 people: providing lifesaving nutrition interventions (therapeutic and targeted supplementary support) to 295,333 people in Afar, Amhara, Oromia and SNNPR; delivery of primary health services to 86,400 marginalized communities (Afar and Somali); access to water to 283,000 at risk population in Afar, Oromia, SNNP and Somali regions; protection and restoration of livelihoods of 56,127 vulnerable households (280,653) in Afar and SNNP regions; and for provision of life-saving health care services to 37,386 Eritrean and urban refugees (30,530 Eritrean-Afar refugees and 6,856 urban based vulnerable refugees).

Despite years of assistance humanitarian needs are acute and in some cases are expanding. The impacts of the displacement include increased vulnerability, education needs, food insecurity, malnutrition, plus decreased access to health care and water/sanitation services among others. The number of Darfur IDPs in need is estimated at 4.5 million.
The Sudan HRP requirement is US$ 1.04 billion. At the time of the CERF UFE application, the HRP was 31% funded.

Approximately 33,000 Rohingyas are officially registered with the Government of Bangladesh as refugees. Both communities live in poor conditions, receive very limited aid, and are subject to arrest, extortion, and detention. Without urgent funding to address shortfalls, thousands are at risk of disease, abuse, hunger and death, thereby erasing any gains made through emergency relief and development assistance. This will also further exacerbate the impact of the recent floods.
Funding from the CERF Underfunded Emergencies window will provide life-saving assistance to 150,000-180,000 people, including vulnerable documented and undocumented Rohingyas and people from the host community. UN agencies and their partners will provide protection and emergency health services, access to safe drinking water with improved sanitation, and nutrition services to address acute malnutrition.
The UN Country Team requires about $31 million for humanitarian action in Bangladesh in 2015, and the CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $3 million for 8 projects, if approved.

The estimated rates of return of 2,000 have been significantly surpassed, straining the absorptive capacity of reception centres at the ports of entry, namely Mogadishu, Puntland and Somaliland. CERF funds will provide critical support to the immediate priority and short term lifesaving needs of 10,000 Yemen arrivals, including refugees and Somali returnees. The scope of activities proposed for the CERF rapid response grant will be limited to boosting lifesaving response at the ports of entry, reception centres and the provision of a nominal assistance package to returnees at their areas of origin and refugees over a three month period.15-RR-SOM-16347-NR03declercqp@un.org#Peter de ClercqEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-07-01T00:00:002016-07-15T00:00:002016-12-21T00:00:00Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security84511261971885116720524023PartlyHealthHealth2000150035002100185039507450PartlyNutritionNutrition194401944202454225664510PartlyProtectionProtection8848711755614111417283483PartlyShelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI1355121925741230124624765050Partly2015-09-30T00:00:0040029715-UF-MMR-1641515-UF-MMR-16415_Myanmar_Sep2015_ApplicationAsiaMyanmarSouth-Eastern AsiaSouth-Eastern AsiaUFDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-09-08T00:00:002015-09-08T00:00:002015-10-09T00:00:002015-10-07T00:00:005369946.005367651The humanitarian situation in Myanmar is affected by Inter-communal violence in Rakhine State, and unresolved conflict in Kachin and northen Shan states.

Even before the escalation of conflict in March 2015, the scale of needs made Yemen one of the largest humanitarian emergencies. Fighting, coalition airstrikes and the restrictions on commercial imports have impacted virtually the entire country. Since July 2015, the number of IDPs has increased by 25 per cent, to 1.44 million, and the number of deaths reported by health facilities has increased from 2,288 to 4,855 and injuries from 9,755 to 24,971 injuries, from 19 June to 15 September. The rapid deterioration of the situation, amidst continuing fighting, requires an immediate response to prevent Yemen from falling into a humanitarian catastrophe. It is of critical importance to intervene with life-saving activities before it is too late. The overall focus of this $15 million proposal shall be the response to the recent influx of IDPs in Aden, Al Dahle, Amran, Hajjah, Ibb, Lahj, Sa’ada, and Taizz, for Early Recovery in mine action and solid waste management, Health, Protection, Shelter and WASH sectors. The Multi-sector response for refugees and migrants will be responding in in Aden (Basateen), Taizz (Bab El Mandeb and Mokha), Hodeidah (Hodeidah City), Sana’a, Mukalla, where the current needs are largest as per latest assessments.

This has caused a 225,000mt deficit for the 2015/2016 consumption year. Consequently, the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment of June 2015 indicates that about 2.8 million people require food support – up from 1.5 million in 2014. This doubling of people requiring food support is a concerning spike illustrating a significant deterioration in food insecurity which has triggered a CERF rapid response request. The nutrition situation has also deteriorated and admissions into health facilities for acute malnutrition has also seen a shart rise, and in some areas as high as 49% compared to the same period in 2014. Priority needs identified therefore included food and agricultural support as well as nutrition and protection. With CERF funds, the humanitarian team plans to target xxx of the most acutely food insecure of 2.8 million requiring assistance.
WFP aims to meet urgent food needs through local and regional procurement of maize which is the staple commodity in coutnry. The Government of Malawi is contributing in kind maze from its strategic grain reserve, however, WFP needs funds to pay for associated costs related to that donated maize (transport, distribution and other related costs) and intends to use some of the funds from CERF for that purpose. FAO plans on providing key agricultural inputs for food availability and nutritional diversity through quick maturing legume seeds, cassava cuttings, sweet potato vines but also including cereal seeds. UNICEF and WFP are working in tandem to respond to acute malnutrition with UNICEF providing treatment to severe acutely malnourished children and WFP providing treatment to moderately malnourished children and pregnant and lactating women.
CERF funds will kick start a collective response to the unfolding crisis. The humanitarian team is requesting xxx million for 4 to 5 month response for xx beneficiaries.

Increasing malnutrition has been confirmed by a recent SMART nutrition survey whose results were published by the Ministry of Health in July 2015. Overall, 172,000 people are affected. The most vulnerable groups include children under five and pregnant and lactating women suffering from acute malnutrition, being at high risk of morbidity and mortality if lifesaving interventions are not immediately implemented. Aid agencies require $10.9 million to respond to this situation but have received only $4.2 million so far.
Aid agencies will use CERF funds to support the Government in organizing and implementing Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM) for 9,794 children with SAM, assist 2,000 malnourished pregnant and lactating women, and provide clean water to 9,000 people in villages with the highest prevalence and in 176 health centres for four months. CERF funds will also be used to provide supplementary feeding activities for 2,664 children with moderate acute malnutrition and 353 pregnant and lactating women with moderate malnutrition, as well as protection rations to 23,652 people in the district of Kobéni in Hodh El Garbhi region. Interventions will cover the 10 worst affected districts, except for WFP activities which will cover only one of the districts, and will be implemented in partnership with NGOs and local government counterparts.This application includes only one project, a joint nutrition project with a budget of $2.6 million by UNICEF (asking for $1.45 million), WFP ($0.6 million), UNFPA ($0.2 million) and WHO ($0.3 million).

An estimated 924,000 people in Zimbabwe are currently food insecure, and this figure is expected to increase dramatically to 1.5 million people during the peak of the lean season (January to March 2016). There has also been an associated 53 per cent increase in child malnutrition rates. The Zimbabwe Food Insecurity Response Plan, September 2015, requires $132 million and is 36 per cent funded. The total CERF funds of $8.1m will be used to support more than 184,000 people in five prioritized provinces that remain uncovered by current responses in the sectors of Agriculture, Food, Nutrition and WASH.

The number of Iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance has increased more than four-fold over the course of this year. There are now 8.6 million people – nearly a quarter of the population – who require humanitarian support as a result of violence and armed conflict linked to the take-over of Iraqi territory by the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and ongoing military operations. Since January 2014, nearly 3.2 million people have fled their homes, including over 300,000 people since April 2015. An estimated 2.3 million people are living under ISIL control. Nearly 400,000 people have returned to areas recently returned to government control. By the end of the year, some 10 million are expected to need assistance, due to the effects of ongoing conflict, violence and military operations.
A cholera outbreak was declared by the Iraqi Government on 15 September 2015. Based on WHO case definition for cholera, out of 53,238 suspected cholera cases between 1 September and 18 October, 1,748 cases were confirmed for vibrio cholera in 15 governorates: Baghdad, Babylon, Basrah, Kerbala, Missan, Muthanna, Najaf, Qadissiya, Salah Al Din, Kirkuk, Thi Qar, Wassit, Erbil, Dahuk and Diyala. Out of the 1,748 confirmed cases, 53% are males and 47% females. So far, two deaths due to cholera have been confirmed by the Ministry of Health. The range between 0.01% to 0.05% attack rates has been used for the off-camp population and host community. Therefore, it is estimated that there may be up to 7140 cases in this epidemic. In most cholera outbreaks, approximately 20% of symptomatic cases of cholera develop a severe form of the disease which requires vigorous rehydration. In IDP and refugee camps, the high percentage will be taken due to the living conditions. Therefore, approximately 286 to 1,428 cases would require admission for intensive treatment including antibiotics during the next 3 to 4 months.
A cholera outbreak amidst a large-scale humanitarian emergency highlights the need for rapid response to control and prevent further spread to areas with a high concentration of displaced people and refugees who are especially vulnerable to infectious diseases. About 7.8 million people need health assistance in Iraq. Health facilities are overburdened and medicines and supplies are running short. In four of the most severely affected areas in the country, 14 hospitals and more than 170 health facilities have been damaged or destroyed. The resources of host communities have been drained. Many of those displaced have had to flee multiple times as the frontlines of the conflict have shifted, making adequate response to their needs both complex and challenging. Public health services and water and sanitation infrastructure in areas of displacement, already fragile and under stress are overloaded. Poverty and unemployment have increased. Sectarian and social tensions have deepened.
The grant request is to support the Ministry of Health and the Directorate for Water to control the outbreak and prevent further spread of the disease. Activities under the grant include immediate support to water testing and implementation of remedial actions, distributions of hygiene kits, bottled water, basic family water kits and jerry cans to high risk populations in affected governorates; hygiene promotion with messages on cholera prevention (door-to-door campaigns, radio, text messages and community networks), and monitoring of sanitation facilities i.e. grey water disposal, septic tanks and cesspools. In relation to health, the grant will support the Ministry of Health in implementing a cholera vaccination campaign for about 247,319 IDPs and refugees at high risk of contracting the disease, to pre-empt further spread of cholera and as a complementary tool to traditional control measures. UNICEF and WHO are requesting US 4.5 million from CERF to contribute to the initial health and wash sector response.15-RR-IRQ-17252-NR04grande@un.org#Lise GrandeEnglishDavid Hartstone2016-07-30T00:00:002016-10-31T00:00:00HealthHealth70362457281160906764850945118593234683FullyWater, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene8507085070170140103974103974207948378088Fully2015-10-30T00:00:0041023115-RR-TZA-1737915-RR-TZA-17379_Tanzania_Oct2015_ApplicationAfricaUnited Republic of TanzaniaEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRCholeraBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-10-22T00:00:002015-10-22T00:00:002015-11-05T00:00:002015-11-10T00:00:001500314.001500314In Tanzania, an outbreak of cholera, which began in Dar Es Salaam in late August 2015, has spread to 12 of the 28 regions of Tanzania, putting 32.7 million people at risk. Some 6,208 cases and 83 deaths had been recorded as of 29 October 2015. Over 75% of the cases were reported from Dar es Salaam. The case fatality rate of 1.5% is considered high by WHO standards, although underreporting may partially explain the high rate.
The current outbreak is different from previous ones in its vast geographical spread within a short period of time. The last major outbreak in 2010 had 1,997 reported cases but this was limited to Tanga and Dar es Salaam regions. The current situation has not yet stabilized. The rapid spread of the outbreaks across the past four weeks has fuelled fear that the situation could get substantially worse if the epidemic is not controlled before the start of the rainy season in late October. The concentration of cases in Dar es Salaam, the main commercial city of Tanzania, conjugated with a very mobile population across the country, further enhances this risk.
To respond, aid agencies require some $6 million, including $4 million for UNICEF and WHO. This application incldues one joint health project by the two agencies.15-RR-TZA-17379-NR02alvaro.rodriguez@undp.org#Alvaro RodriguezEnglishDavid Hartstone2016-08-05T00:00:002016-10-26T00:00:00HealthHealth32183323654132333103633612877FullyWater, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene84173880873016504681075391103322021086113759079Fully2015-11-05T00:00:0041123215-RR-HND-1750215-RR-HND-17502_Honduras_Oct2015_ApplicationAmericasHondurasLatin America and the CaribbeanCentral AmericaRRDroughtMeteorological, Hydrological and ClimatologicalNatural Disaster20152015-10-28T00:00:002015-10-28T00:00:002015-11-13T00:00:002015-11-19T00:00:002296208.002187908In Honduras, the 2015 drought caused by the El Nino phenomenon is one of the most severe in the country's history. There have been historical temperature records across the country, especially in the departments affected by drought with temperatures that have reached over 40 degrees centigrade. The drought has affected 146 municipalities in twelve provinces.
As a result, 50,585 households are severely food insecure, a 40% increase compared to 2014. 98% of small producers are affected by drought on average representing an 81%loss in agricultural production. Rural areas do not have a steady daily water supply, which jeopardizes the quality of the water supplied. Added to this, people store greater amounts of water in the home, which can encouraging the creation of mosquito breeding sites and spread water borne disease. Health facilities are also poorly equipped to address the needs of people affected by water borne diseases such as dengue, Chikungunya and diarrhea. Furthermore, the nutritional status of nearly 6,000 children is threatened by the drought and 600 children are already suffering from acute malnutrition.
Based on the preliminary results of the August Emergency Food Security Assessment (EFSA), the Humanitarian Country Team developed a Preliminary Humanitarian Response Plan to address the most urgent priorities. The plan was launched in country in late September by the Resident Coordinator and requires emergency funding to preserve the lives of 50,586 families (252,930 people) who are at high risk by the humanitarian situation caused by the prolonged drought, and who needs immediate assistance with food security, WASH, health, nutrition, education, protection and livelihoods.
To respond to the deteriorating situation, aid agencies require some $23 million, including $2.3 million for UNICEF, WFP and WHO. This application includes one food security project, one health project, one WASH project and one joint nutrition project.

The impact of the failed spring / belg season was compounded by the arrival of the El Niño weather conditions that weakened summer / kiremt rains that feed 80 to 85 per cent of the country. This greatly expanded food insecurity, malnutrition and devastated livelihoods across six affected regions of the country. On 2 October, the Government informed UN agencies, NGOs, Donor representatives, and the media that the number of people in need of relief assistance in Ethiopia due to El Niño phenomenon had increased to 8.2 million in the Afar, Amhara, Oromia, SNNPR, Somali and Tigray regions of Ethiopia.
The current HRD requires $596.4 million and is nearly 60 per cent funded, with serious gaps for the fourth quarter. To date, the HRF has secured the following: US$30 million from DfID and US$1 million from the Swiss Government. Pledges received to date include US$1 from the Swiss, US$18 million from the EU and US$5.5 million from the Netherlands. USAID/Food for Peace has called forward US$97 million (out of which US$20 million is in new funding) and Sweden, US$17 million for WFP.
CERF funds will be used to support 1.37 million drought affected people and around 164,000 moderately malnourished women and children in the next two months to cover food needs and Targeted Supplementary Feeding supplies. Timely response to the emergency is key to avoid further deterioration and even greater magnitude of needs in 2016.

There are now more than 400,000 IDP’s in the country. For Bangui only, this represents an increased by 38% in IDPs seeking refuge in existing or new displacement sites. The violence has also aggravated the condition of people already displaced and living in over 33 displacement sites who have been cut off from any assistance for days. A large number of people in Bangui have also fled their homes where violence occurred, to take refuge with host families in a few specific neighbourhoods. This situation has created a phenomenon of overpopulation in settings where basic services were already limited. Host families, already living in precarious conditions, will only have the capacity to absorb these new arrivals over a short period of time. While the numbers of IDPs in host families is difficult to assess and is currently estimated to be as large as 45,000, neighbourhoods where people have sought refuge are clearly identified and require assistance.
The Humanitarian Country Team has endorsed the following two primary strategic objectives for this CERF allocation:
i) to provide life-saving assistance to respond to new critical needs that have arisen in the recent crisis, complementing the ongoing response which includes provision of direct support through provision of health services (WHO, UNICEF), Food assistance and Nutrition commodities and services (WFP, UNICEF), Site facilitation and displacement tracking matrix as well as camp management response in IDP sites (IOM, UNHCR), Protection services geared towards children and against gender based violence (UNFPA, UNHCR, UNICEF), and provision of WASH related items and services.
ii) to strengthen access and support a further decentralisation of humanitarian operations which includes provision of humanitarian air services (UNHAS-WFP) and logistics support to support the humanitarian community (WFP).
The strategy was developed through discussion at the inter cluster coordination group and later presented to the Humanitarian country team which includes NGO’s UN agencies and donors.15-RR-CAF-17599-NR03lebeux@un.org#Anne-Sophie Le BeuxEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-09-21T00:00:002016-09-30T00:00:002018-06-12T00:00:00Camp Coordination and Camp ManagementCamp Coordination / Management313133075262065382574202180278142343Protection - Child ProtectionChild Protection50632965802844352015645014478Common Services - Humanitarian Air ServicesCoordination and support services0515100051Common Services - LogisticsLogistics0272700027Early RecoveryEarly Recovery757075709059051662Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security10146107492089510802135802438245277NutritionNutrition3010030103260032606270Protection - Gender-Based ViolenceGender Based Violence10404109922139610828184312925950655Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene258583539261250270583669263750125000HealthHealth874073609012349794691390981337892572862015-12-17T00:00:0041423515-RR-AFG-1767515-RR-AFG-17675_Afghanistan_Nov2015_ApplicationAsiaAfghanistanSouthern AsiaSouthern AsiaRRPost-conflict NeedsConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-11-10T00:00:002015-11-10T00:00:002015-12-23T00:00:002015-12-28T00:00:009816867.005802858On 11 November UN Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and UN Resident- and Humanitarian Coordinator Mark Bowden submitted an application to the CERF’s rapid response window in response to the post-conflict Kunduz situation and a 26 October in northeast Afghanistan.
KUNDUZ CONFLICT
The escalation in fighting in Kunduz City, particularly from 28 September to 2 October, and similarly brazen AGE attacks wreaked havoc and provoked the widespread displacement of at least 14,000 families within the Northeast (Balkh, Baghlan, Takhar, Badakhshan), with an estimated 2,800 families displaced to Central Region, to escape the armed conflict. The Kunduz regional airport, health facilities, and schools were closed and water, electrical and communication services disrupted during the conflict and humanitarian actors evacuated. Health sector response was made even more difficult following the 3 October US bombing the Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) trauma centre in Kunduz City, detrimentally impacting access to surgical care for hundreds of thousands. Critical needs for the majority of IDPs are initially assessed to be food and shelter, with NFI, health, WASH, and protection needs are also key.
EARTHQUAKE
On 26 October a 7.5 magnitude earthquake rocked north-eastern Afghanistan, affecting at least 16 of the country’s provinces and leaving more than 129,000 people in need of some form of humanitarian assistance. Ongoing assessments as of 8 November show that 112 people were killed, 510 injured, 11,693 homes damaged and 6,546 houses destroyed. Kunar and Nangarhar and Badakshan provinces were hardest hit. The immediate priorities are providing emergency shelter, heating, food and protection of livestock / livelihoods for the affected communities, particularly in remote and hard to reach areas.15-RR-AFG-17675-NR02mcfaddenm@un.org#Maia McFaddenEnglishJulia Wittig2016-10-23T00:00:002016-11-30T00:00:002017-06-09T00:00:00Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture42630711111137414093168283109214222955PartlyObvious difficulties in avoiding double counting without proposing a solution.HealthHealth1727238641131659203522201126124PartlyObvious difficulties in avoiding double counting without proposing a solution.Protection - Gender-Based ViolenceGender Based Violence800232831281639386855078635PartlyObvious difficulties in avoiding double counting without proposing a solution.2015-12-23T00:00:0041523615-RR-DZA-1772715-RR-DZA-17727_Algeria_Nov2015_ApplicationAfricaAlgeriaNorthern AfricaNorthern AfricaRRFloodBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-11-13T00:00:002015-11-17T00:00:002015-12-11T00:00:002015-12-16T00:00:006599040.005051640Heavy rainfalls lasting over a week in late October led to severe floods in Tindouf in south-western Algeria, causing an unprecedented level of destruction to all five Saharawi refugee camps, impacting the entire refugee population- the majority of them vulnerable children and women. Assessments have put the total number of destroyed/damaged shelters at 17,821, meaning 17,821 families lost their shelter (houses) and some 17,000 families lost food rations (≈ 85,000 food rations). Furthermore, 30% of health facilities and schools are damaged, and medical supplies including vaccines may have been destroyed.
The humanitarian partners already present in the camps are quickly responding to the crisis. The inter-agency humanitarian response will be guided by the following strategic objectives:
i) Priority humanitarian actions to provide emergency shelter and essential relief items, including drinking water:
1. Provide emergency family tents;
2. Provide emergency non-food items, including tarpaulins, kitchen sets and jerry cans;
3. Provide a new water truck to ensure drinking water availability;
4. Support initial repairs and rehabilitation of houses, prioritizing the most vulnerable families.
ii) Priority humanitarian actions to provide food and adequate nutrition:
1. Replace food stock losses, amounting to 85,000 rations
2. Provide 124,960 full food rations of 2,125 MT of several commodities for some months, until the food security and nutritional situation stabilizes;
iii) Priority humanitarian actions to provide refugees with adequate health facilities:
1. Set-up temporary health care spaces (large tents);
2. Provide emergency health supplies and consumables: obstetric and newborn kits, crucial drugs for de-worming, vitamin A supplements;
3. Ensure availability and storage of vaccines;
4. Restore electricity, cold room and cold storage facilities in hospitals, including for vaccines;
5. Restore damaged hospitals and provide them with medicine supplies and life-saving equipment.
iv) Priority humanitarian actions to enable students to pursue their schooling and support their well-being:
1. Set-up temporary learning spaces for primary school children;
2. Provide educational supplies and recreation materials for schools;
3. Ensure child care for young children (0-5 years), by providing “child friendly tents” and kits for early childhood development;
4. Provide psychosocial support for vulnerable children (including children with disabilities);
The amount originally requested is 6,599,040 USD. The response will include the following sectors: Health, Food security, and Shelter/NFIs. The requesting agencies include: WFP, UNHCR, UNICEF and WHO. More specifically, CERF Funds will be used to (1) provide emergency shelter and essential relief items, including drinking water; (2) replace food stocks lost and secure food security and nutrition for the initial weeks; (3) provide emergency health care to affected population.15-RR-DZA-17727-NR01cristina.amaral@one.un.org#Cristina AmaralEnglishMateusz Buczek2016-09-11T00:00:002016-12-27T22:10:59Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security22936105033343924580269815156185000FullyHealthHealth8097370411801867695231819930000FullyShelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI112507250185001125072501850037000Fully2015-12-10T00:00:0041623715-RR-PHL-1775015-RR-PHL-17750_Philippines_Nov2015_ApplicationAsiaPhilippinesSouth-Eastern AsiaSouth-Eastern AsiaRRStormBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20152015-11-17T00:00:002015-11-17T00:00:002015-12-17T00:00:002015-12-08T00:00:001581292.001512074Category 3 Typhoon Koppu made landfall over Casiguran municipality in Aurora province in Central Luzon (Region III) on 18 October 2015. While not striking with the same strength as super typhoon Haiyan of November 2013, Typhoon Koppu was unusually large and slow-moving, and brought incessant and intense rain in its 650 km diameter for more than four days. It caused flooding, flash floods and landslides, leaving 60 people dead and 90 injured, according to the Philippine Red Cross. The typhoon affected all seven regions of the Luzon island (Regions I, II, III, IV, V, Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Metro Manila).
Some 713,600 people were still displaced as of 3 November, according to the latest NDRRMC report. Most (or 99 per cent) were staying with relatives and friends or in the open nearby their damaged homes in Regions I, II and III, where damage to houses was the most significant. The rest (9,100 people) were in 37 evacuation centres primarily in Region III.
More than 18,800 houses were destroyed and 118,900 houses partially destroyed as of 3 November. People with damaged houses will remain displaced until their homes are repaired or reconstructed, requiring extended humanitarian aid such as food, non-food items (e.g. blankets, flashlights for municipalities without electricity, mosquito nets), medicines, enhanced disease surveillance, shelter repair kits, protection particularly against trafficking, temporary learning spaces and livelihoods support. The typhoon also damaged 70 health facilities, according to the Department of Health (DoH), and more than 1,400 classrooms, according to NDRRMC.
The CERF application for $1.5 million will help mitigate further deterioration of food security and related increase in malnutrition and vulnerability to diseases of 212,000 people affected by Typhoon Koppu in Nueva Ecija, Pampanga and Tarlac provinces in Region III and in Pangasinan province in Region I. Of these people, 65,000 people are from small-scale, rice-farming households in Region III devastated by typhoon flooding. FAO will lead the provision of certified rice seeds and fertilizers for planting during the current cropping season by mid-December 2015 for harvest in April 2016. WHO will lead the provision of essential health care. Food security and agricultural production capacity of the most severely affected farmers will be restored while protecting flood-affected people from disease outbreaks over the next five months until April 2016.15-RR-PHL-17750-NR01ola.almgren@one.un.org#Ola AlmgrenEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-09-17T00:00:002017-01-03T00:00:00HealthHealth50880557561066364939655968105364212000FullyFood Security - AgricultureAgriculture326883541268100213382406245400113500Fully2015-11-30T00:00:0041723815-RR-HTI-1775815-RR-HTI-17758_Haiti_Nov2015_ApplicationAmericasHaitiLatin America and the CaribbeanCaribbeanRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20152015-11-18T00:00:002015-11-18T00:00:002015-12-29T00:00:002015-12-31T00:00:002363728.001986864The CERF funds will be used to cover increased protection and humanitarian needs that were created by the arrival of 85,000 migrants, returnees and deported people from the Dominican Republic in Haitian municipalities located alongside the border. The response is needed in order to avoid the escalation of a humanitarian crisis reinforced by a context of violence and cholera epidemic. Humanitarian and protection response are currently weakened by the insufficient of required resources both for the government’s institutions, NGOs and UN Agencies.
The Haiti HCT seeks $2 million to support xx,xxx people to:
•Scale-up border monitoring of four formal and some 96 informal border crossing points. This monitoring system also functions as a referral mechanism of specific protection cases and early-warning system.

An initial influx of refugees and Chadian returnees who arrived at the beginning of the year was followed by successive waves of internal displacement from July 2015. The situation deteriorated further since September 2015 with the successive attacks of Boko Haram in Chad and the intensification of Chadian military operations in the Lac region causing the displacement of more than 52,000 persons between the end of July and October.
Overall, 321,242 persons (232 242 host communities and 89,000 people in displacement) are affected by the Boko Haram crisis in Lac region, among them 201,000 are in need of humanitarian assistance.
The strategic objective of the CERF RR application from Chad is to provide lifesaving assistance and protection to 133,935 vulnerable people including IDPs, returnees, refugees, TCNs and host population principally in Baga Sola and Bol, as well as surrounding areas in the department of Mamdi. CERF funds will help to provide lifesaving assistance to most vulnerable people including IDPs, refugees, returnees, TCNs and host communities who are in need of urgent support for protection, health, nutrition, food security, NFIs and shelter and education.
Despite the current efforts of the humanitarian community, significant needs remain in all sectors. Urgent needs and gaps are of particular concern in IDP sites due to the volatility of displacements. The key imperatives to efficiently respond to the crisis are increasing access to basic services of people affected by the displacements, insuring their protection and addressing vulnerabilities outside facilitating integration of IDPs in host communities. As humanitarian access remains difficult due to insecurity and military operations, CERF will primarily focus on IDPs, refugees, and host communities in Bol and Baga Sola areas with possible extension of assistance to people in new areas once access becomes possible and if assessments are available.

Since then, repeated attacks from April through October caused successive waves of displacement. The state of emergency in Diffa region was renewed by the Government of Niger from 29 October 2015 to 26 January 2016. As a result of the violence and insecurity, more than 300,000 people are directly and severely affected by the crisis. The overwhelming level of new needs created by the situation triggered this CERF request, focusing on Food Security, Emergency Shelter/Non Food Items, WASH, Protection and Reproductive Health as the most pertinent to the situation of populations on the move, in highly unstable settings. Interventions will take place in seven municipalities of the Diffa Region. The selected municipalities lie along the border with Nigeria, between five and 20 kilometers inside Nigerien territory and within a 150-kilometres radius from Diffa. They have been chosen by a majority of the people fleeing from the border areas as spontaneous assembly points. Interventions will target displaced populations as well as the small and vulnerable host communities. Interventions will support nearly 152,000 people over five months.

The ongoing armed conflict in North-East (NE) has directly affected 14.8 million people, of whom 7.4 million are in need of urgent humanitarian assistance. While the armed conflict has directly affected four NE states - Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and Gombe - Borno State has been disproportionately affected and is the epicentre of military operations and displacement of civilians. The current humanitarian response is covering all the four directly affected states of Borno, Adamawa, Yobe and Gombe.
The Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) has shown reasonably steady growth in the numbers of Internally Displaced People (IDPs), from fewer than 400,000 in December 2014 to over 2 million in the last quarter of 2015.
In Borno State alone there are 1.6 million IDPs, the majority of whom are in the capital city, Maiduguri. While the majority of the IDPs are living in host communities, 118,400 IDPs in Borno live in 24 camps. Eight of the IDP camps in Maiduguri City, the capital of Borno State, are occupying schools.
The submission focused on supporting the process of relocating IDPs out of schools to five new sites as the new sites require massive preparation of shelter, WASH, and health facilities. Decongestion of camps and further enhancement of the shelter and WASH facilities is a priority in camps which will be maintained in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states.Some good explanations of beneficiary counts (nutrition, WASH and child protection) - in case examples needed in future.

The upsurge of violence by Boko Haram across the Lake Chad Basin has uprooted hundreds of thousands of civilians from their homes, destroyed their livelihoods and deepened vulnerability. Cameroon is hosting 64,000 Nigerian refugees in its Far North region, which is also the worst affected by the conflict. Tens of thousands of residents in the region have been forced to flee due to insecurity and near-daily suicide bombings and attacks. Education and health among other basic services as well as farming, trade and pastoralism have been badly affected, causing deep deprivation and heightening health and protection risks. The CERF Rapid Response will target newly displaced, vulnerable host community members, and women and children who are exposed to the risks of abuse and forced recruitment by the armed group. The newly displaced require emergency shelters, need to be registered and provided with basic household items. Women and children, who are the worst affected by the crisis, will require basic health, including reproductive health services, protection and emergency education.

Its impact has been felt most strongly in the northern zone of Central America. In Guatemala, the dry corridor of Eastern and Central Guatemala has had up to 65 days without rain between late June and September which is abnormal. According to reports from the Ministry of Agriculture, losses were documented in both, “primera” (from May to August) and “postrera” (from August to November) harvests. Accumulated losses of harvest from last year, significantly exacerbated this situation leaving affected families with no food reserves since May. Around 175,387 families reported 75 to100 per cent losses of their maize and beans harvests along the dry corridor.
As a result of the accumulated impact of the dry spell in 2014, these affected families have been without food reserves since May this year. Joint EFSA-type, emergency assessments carried out by MAGA, SESAN, WFP and FAO in September, have identified as many as 248,000 families in need of humanitarian assistance. The states with the highest levels of food insecurity are located in Eastern Guatemala: Santa Rosa, Jutiapa, El Progreso, Zacapa, Jalapa, and Chiquimula and some others in Central and Western: Baja Verapaz, Totonicapan, and Huehuetenango. FEWSNET indicates that around 75 municipalities from these States are in IPC phase 3 (Crisis), while around 33 are in Phase 2 (stress). The prolonged food insecurity and lack of food reserves has furthermore had a negative impact causing higher than usual prevalence of acute malnutrition in children under 5.
The humanitarian team aims to deliver a timely, effective and life-saving response in three of the worst affected states of Baja Verapaz, Chiquimula and Jutiapa. Food security (WFP) aims to provide immediate food support to a target 23,000 families (115,000 beneficiaries) while nutrition will treat 6,000 children (UNICEF) and health (PAHO/WHO) will support nutrition efforts. Primary and priority targets for life-saving CERF activities are those families with no food reserves, at least one case of acute severe malnutrition (in children and/or pregnant/lactating women), households headed by widows or single mothers, and families affected by critical health problems (diarrhea, ARIs, and/or chikungunya). This CERF request is for a five-month response, for $4.85 million.

This is the fourth year with reduced rainfall. This has resulted in about 800,000 people being food insecure compared to over 500,000 people in 2014, based on FAO assessment in December 2015. Agricultural production loss is estimated at over 52,000MT valued at over 10.4 billion kwanzas ($72 million). There is also a reported loss of livestock (360,000 animals) valued at 36 million kwanzas, further exacerbating poverty and the economic status of families. The undernutrition situation is much worse with doubling undernutrition rates of SAM cases (95,877 in total in the 7 provinces); and 45,411 harboured in the municipalities of the 3 border provinces when compared to June 2015.
The food situation has become dire, and 63 per cent of the affected areas are in Cunene, Huila and Namibe provinces, where production losses of cereals and legumes have been nearly 90 per cent. The food and nutrition situation is becoming critical in the Namibe and Cunene Provinces where the population is heterogeneous but their livelihood is based mainly on fishing, cattle rearing and subsistence agriculture. Given to the poor access to safe water, the affected population have agriculture camps spread and desolated without any production capable to sustain the families until the next rainy season. The lack of rains and crop production are exacerbating migratory movements of communities, looking for better conditions for their families and animals around operational water points. All these are happening against the backdrop of an impeding economic depression due to the oil shock from rapidly falling oil prices and income to the government.
The government prompted by the office of the Vice President set up an interagency commission who have assessed the situation. This has been complemented by other mission assessments by FAO and the MOH-DNSP respectively confirming the seriousness or acuteness of the situation in the last quarter of 2015.
The focus of the humanitarian response is the 3 worst affected provinces. The CERF proposal will assist funding in the Food, Nutrition, Health and WASH sectors. FAO will provide seeds and inputs such as hand tools and other resources to the 50,000 vulnerable people. UNICEF and WHO will address the impact of acute malnutrition: UNICEF through treatment through therapeutic foods and WHO for treatment for those children and at risk pregnant and lactating women who are suffering complications. WASH will address access to water through rehabilitation of boreholes. The CERF contribution is $5 million for 5 to 6 months of an initial response. El Nino 2015-201616-RR-AGO-18644-NR01P.

The current average is about 1,500 arrivals per week. The goal of UN agencies’ projects for CERF is to ensure continuation of the provision of basic humanitarian response, establish water supply in new camp locations, continue food distribution, distribute fuel efficient stoves, strengthen SGBV prevention and consular capacity, and ensure safe transport and settlement of refugees in camps. UN agencies are targeting 120,000 beneficiaries in four refugee sites.The UN Country Team requires $183 million for humanitarian action in Tanzania in 2016. According to FTS, no humanitarian has been received for Tanzania in 2016, as of 2 March 2016. The CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $11 million for 12 projects, if approved.

In 2015 alone, Uganda received over 112,000 new refugees. Current risk analyses suggest these influxes will continue in 2016, further emphasizing the emergency nature of the refugee response in Uganda. Worst-case scenario planning in 2016 accounts for an influx greater than half of the existing refugee population in Uganda. Inter-agency response plans (RRPs) and contingency plans have been put in place to receive as many as 300,000 new refugees in 2016 in these worst-case situations. Refugees from South Sudan and DRC constitute the most underfunded and most severe humanitarian emergency in Uganda, and the CERF grant has been prioritized to focus on life-saving initiatives for these at-risk populations. The refugee management policy in Uganda is characterised by a non-camp, settlement approach. Refugees are not settled in camps but in village-like settings where they receive small plots for agricultural cultivation, enjoying the right to work and freedom of movement granted under the Ugandan Government’s 2006 Refugee Act and 2010 Refugee Regulations. Within this refugee management context, the CERF allocation will be prioritised for the immediate life-saving needs of its South Sudanese and Congolese refugee populations in the following sectors: 1) Protection (including registration of new arrivals/child protection/SGBV); 2) Food Security; 3) Shelter, Site Preparation, and NFIs; 4) Health & Nutrition; 5) WASH, and 6) Emergency Agricultural Livelihoods.Humanitarian UN agencies in Uganda reported to the CERF secretariat that they require about $343 million for humanitarian action in 2016. Funding requirements for Uganda in the 2016 South Sudan Regional Refugee Response Plan are $164 million, and $22 million in the Burundi Regional Refugee Response Plan (these numbers overlap with the UN figure of $343 million). According to FTS, aid agencies in Uganda had received only $5.8 million in humanitarian funding as of 29 February 2016.

Nine-thousand new arrivals are anticipated in 2016 of which 60 per cent are expected to be women and children. Kakuma hosts over 184,000 refugees (South Sudanese and others) and the influx has put a strain on aid services. The goal of UN agencies’ projects for CERF is to ensure that health care, nutrition, HIV/AIDS support, maternal and childcare, sanitation and food activities are provided to the refugees. UN agencies are targeting 102,000 beneficiaries in Kakuma refugee camp.The 2016 South Sudan RRRP lists requirements of $48 million for South Sudanese refugees in Kenya.

Sudan continued to face a steady influx of South Sudanese refugees throughout 2015. By the end of December 2015, nearly 195,000 South Sudanese had sought safety in Sudan, fleeing violence and insecurity in their home country. With some 109,000 new arrivals recorded between January and December 2015, Sudan was the country that received the largest influx of South Sudanese refugees in the region.
With CERF funding, aid agencies will respond to the most pressing needs of South Sudanese refugees in Sudan, which includes the development of new sites with basic services to ease overcrowding and raise provision of life-saving services to emergency thresholds within the existing sites in the areas of health, education, nutrition, and protection.
The establishment of the sites will require basic semi-permanent infrastructure, backfilling, construction of drainage and an internal road to facilitate access within. Solar lighting will be installed to enhance protection. Once completed, refugees will be transported to the new sites from those identified as being the most overcrowded.
The existing services in current sites will be expanded to ensure there are no breaks in service provision in health, nutrition and protection, as well as additional support to the education sector that struggles to provide appropriate services to the high number of children in the sites.The South Sudan Regional Refugee Response Plan requires $141 million for South Sudanese refugees in Sudan in 2016. Funding for the South Sudan RRRP is not yet recorded on FTS.

Violence and fear emanating from the political crisis are on the increase. At least 439 people have been killed and nearly 265,000 displaced people since April 2015, and access to essential services has deteriorated. Continued heavy rains are causing localized floods and landslides, leaving at least 52 people dead and 5,068 households displaced, whose houses have been damaged or destroyed between November 2015 and January 2016. These two drivers are exacerbating an already dire situation of many vulnerable Burundians. With this CERF grant and through multi-sector interventions in Burundi’s six most affected provinces, humanitarian agencies aim to help avert acute vulnerabilities caused by the political crisis in the country since April 2015, as well as localized flooding.Humanitarian UN agencies in Burundi reported to the CERF secretariat that they require about $111 million for humanitarian action in 2016. Funding requirements for Burundi in the recently published 2016 HRP, which focuses only on new needs related to the political crisis and floods, are $62 million. According to FTS, no funding has been received for the HRP as of 11 March 2016, and $1.9 million in funding has been received outside of the HRP.

The South Sudanese represent the largest refugee community in Ethiopia. As of 15 January 2016, Ethiopia hosts 281,471 refugees from South Sudan, the vast majority of whom are hosted in six refugee camps in the Gambella region. Out of this, 226,638 arrived in Ethiopia as a result of the December 2013 events in South Sudan and its aftermath, and 55,059 had fled to Ethiopia prior to the current crisis. Of the new arrivals, about 33,000 are living with host communities. The goal of UN agencies’ CERF projects is to conduct registration of new arrivals, relocation from entry point to the camps, distribution of food items, provision of primary health care and nutrition services, improvement of WASH facilities, provision of core relief (non-food) items and soap, and shelter. UN agencies are targeting nearly 214,000 beneficiaries in Gambella and Benishangul Gumuz Regional States.The Ethiopia component of the 2016 South Sudan RRP amounts to $284 million.

Some 2.5 million people are in need of assistance, 1.9 million are food insecure, 2.2 million need health services and 840,000 water and sanitation services. More than 700,000 children under age 5 suffer from acute malnutrition. As of October 2015, there were 62,000 IDPs and 139,000 Malian refugees in neighbouring countries.
The strategy that the Humanitarian Country Team developed to implement this CERF grant of $16 million from the Fund’s window for underfunded emergencies focuses on the north of the country and has two main objectives: The first objective is to respond to the food security and nutrition crisis by preventing and treating malnutrition, providing food aid to 26,000 people during the lean season, and helping 90,000 people restart agricultural activities. The second objective is to respond to urgent needs in several key sectors in the north. This includes providing water and sanitation services to 45,000 people, shelter and non-food items to 8,000 people, improve access to education for 63,000 children and access to health care for 200,000 people, to conduct mine action and to strengthen protection monitoring and child protection. About $8 million will be used for each of the two objectives.The 2016 Mali Humanitarian Response Plan requires about $354 million to provide assistance to some 1 million people in need. According to FTS, the Mali HRP had received $19.3 million in humanitarian funding as of 18 March 2016.

The level of displacement has increased almost seven-fold since April 2014, with displacement patterns revealing both cross-regional displacement (populations fleeing from one side of the country to another) and localized displacement, with populations fleeing within their own provinces, particularly in the northwest. An estimated 269,000 IDPs are located in the country’s western region, which includes 120,000 IDPs who fled fighting in the Warshefana suburb southwest of Tripoli in August 2014 and Tobruk, Ajdabiya and Al Bayda. The goal of UN agencies’ projects for CERF is to improve access to health services and essential medicines; respond to protection needs of affected populations; provide household food availability and protecting people from malnutrition risks; provide minimum shelter assistance and essential NFIs; provide safe drinking water and basic sanitation services; improve access to essential services; and providing direct support and protection to meet the humanitarian needs of migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. UN agencies are targeting 350,000 people in Benghazi, Tripoli, Sabha, Al Jabel Al Gharbi.In 2016, Libya will have an HRP, with overall requirements of $166 million, including $138 million for UN agencies. As of 14 March, $4.4 million in funding for the HRP had been recorded on FTS. The CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $12 million for 12 projects, if approved.

Dzud is a cyclical slow onset disaster unique to Mongolia. It consists of a summer drought followed by a deterioration of the weather conditions in winter (10 to 350 cm snow thickness, temperatures -40° C to -50° C) and spring during which shortage of pasture and water leads to large scale deaths of animals. Although primarily affecting livestock exposed to extreme winter conditions, dzud events should not be seen as simply winter emergencies or livestock famines; they have profound and far-reaching impacts on Mongolian pastoral herder sector which depends on this vital sector for food and income.
The CERF grant will provide the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) with the necessary funds to address the most urgent survival and livelihood needs of 4,390 vulnerable herder households in dzud conditions in most-affected provinces. CERF grants will contribute to ensuring that most vulnerable households can survive the winter and are protected from extreme livelihoods collapse; and thus help to avert a larger humanitarian crisis.
CERF funding will be used to provide targeted support at household level that complements the Government’s response activities which currently focuses on infrastructure and social services. The Protection and the Nutrition sector (which includes a food component) will deliver a package of basic relief items designed to ensure the survival of the most vulnerable herders. The agriculture component aims to minimize additional loss of lives and damage to social and economic assets helping to ensure the survival of the most vulnerable herders and their families who are almost totally dependent on livestock for livelihoods. This will be followed by a cash intervention which will ensure that low income households can buy additional food staple, warm clothes, heating and cooking fuels, other products essential for surviving the extreme winter and isolation.

The cyclone is estimated to be one of the most severe ever to hit the South Pacific and has directly affected an estimated 350,000 people -- approximately 40 per cent of the total population of Fiji. The hardest hit areas are Lau group and Lomaiviti (including Koro) in the Eastern Division, Raki Raki and Tavua in Western Division and Taveuni and Cakandrove in Northern Division.
Immediate response efforts have been led by the Government of Fiji to ensure that preparedness plans were put in place prior to the disaster. The Government of Fiji estimates the total damage bill at more than FJ$1 billion -- almost $500 million. In recognition of the severity of the disaster, on 22 February, the Fiji government requested international assistance and declared a 30-day State of Natural Disaster.
The Fiji Government has a strong national structure for disaster preparedness and emergency operations and is leading the current response. The National Disaster Management Office (NDMO) is coordinating efforts and has activated the National and Divisional Emergency Operations Centres (EOCs).
The humanitarian response in Fiji will be guided by the following strategic objectives as outlined in the Flash Appeal:
1) Rapidly provide life-saving assistance to people affected by the cyclone and re-establish basic services
2) Support restoration of livelihoods and self-reliance
3) Provide safe emergency and transitional shelter, while protecting vulnerable people in all affected communities
The CERF strategy targets over 349,000 million people, requesting $7.9 million to address the most critical needs. To achieve the above objectives the strategy focuses on nine eight key sectors – Shelter, Food Security, Education, Health, WASH, Protection, Logistics and Emergency Telecommunications -- across all 12 hardest hit areas that have been identified by the Government.

In Ajuong Thok camp, UNHCR and partners are undertaking multi-sectorial response activities including health, water, shelters and camp management. In Yida, UNHCR has been undertaking protection interventions and facilitating the relocation of refugees to Ajuong Thok, while supporting provision of water and sanitation services. The proximity of Yida to the contested border (Jau area), its militarization and associated protection concerns arising from the mixed character of the influx (civilian asylum seekers, combatants and former combatants), fundamentally compromises the question of its suitability as a refugee site. The Government of South Sudan and UNHCR had previously developed a phased closure plan for Yida which began in 2013 and was due to be finalized by mid-2017. However, the process was put on hold due to the outbreak of major conflict across the country in December 2013.
In mid-November 2015, however, a Government decision was taken to bring forward the closure of Yida to June 2016. This decision is noted as final, and Government representatives travelled to Yida in January 2016 and communicated the decision directly to refugees. This has triggered a rapid response request, as operationalization of the new site in Pamir must be accelerated in an unforeseen manner, and relocation of refugees must be sped up.
With Ajuong Thok nearing its full capacity of 40,000 refugees, preparation of the new site in Pamir is urgently needed to so that refugees can relocate there and mitigate a potentially dire deterioration in the humanitarian circumstances of refugees in Unity. Yida is currently hosting about 70,000 refugees with nearly 70% under the age of 18, including nearly 1,000 unaccompanied and separated children, particularly vulnerable to a range of protection issues including forced recruitment and SGBV which are increasingly prevalent in the context of the wider conflict in South Sudan. When Yida closes, lack of alternative space would leave refugees either stranded in Yida without the necessary protection and assistance, or result in major overcrowding of Ajuong Thok. This current application is for UNHCR to relocate to the new site in Pamir and to provide basic services for around $6 million.16-RR-SSD-19018-NR07throp@un.org#David ThropEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-07-08T00:00:002016-08-26T00:00:002016-12-24T15:59:37.822017-06-16T22:13:37Multi-Sector Refugee AssistanceMulti-Sector374424516195403233587390135852016-03-16T00:00:0043825816-RR-LSO-19019Lesotho RR Application, Mar 2016 (El Niño and Drought)AfricaLesothoSouthern AfricaSouthern AfricaRRDroughtMeteorological, Hydrological and ClimatologicalNatural Disaster20162016-03-04T00:00:002016-03-04T00:00:002016-04-05T00:03:06.5432016-04-08T00:00:005045384.004782918The Government of Lesotho (GoL) declared a State of Emergency (22 December 2015) in light of the drought which is expected to worsen over the course of 2016. The GoL, in collaboration with UN agencies and NGOs, conducted a joint rapid community assessment in January and early February 2016, which found the current number of people who are at risk of food insecurity and who are unable to meet their survival needs until June 2016 is 534,508 people (more than 25% of the population). The severity of the situation is likely to surpass the 2012 crisis when 725,000 people were affected.
The impact of El Niño-induced drought is affecting multiple sectors: water scarcity and rain deficits which have led to delays or failure of the planting season, causing a sharp decline in food production. Water shortages have also made basic services unable to function normally (e.g. health centres and schools). It has also severely impacted crop and livestock production, health and nutrition and the overall food security of households; all further compounded by vulnerability factors such as HIV prevalence at 23% and high chronic malnutrition at 33% together with general poverty.
The CERF allocation of $5 milllion will be used to address the most critical needs identified as gaps in the government appeal document in the key sectors targeting 130,450 people in Lesotho. CERF funds will be used for immediate cash assistance to the most vulnerable families and will be complemented with a household gardening package. Affected health clinics will be reinforced by preventing and treating malnutrition, particularly for children under 5, people living with HIV and pregnant women. The water dimension will be addressed through WASH interventions. Interventions that protect and restore the livelihoods of vulnerable farming families in time for the next planting season will also be addressed.Total funds required by UN agencies and NGOs for the response are $60 million, of which 19% is funded.

In a January 2016 assessment FEWSNET reports high numbers of people affected by drought and food insecurity. Currently there are 380,000 people in need of food assistance (IPC Phase 3) in the southern provinces of Maputo, Gaza and Inhambane, and in the central provinces of Tete and Sofala. Approximately 380,000 people are in need of immediate assistance facing lack of food and water. The impact of drought on nutritional status of children is also serious with initial reports estimating 72,374 malnourished children will be in need of assistance over the next 6 months in the five provinces. A January 2016 assessment by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Security (MASA) found 260,730 farmers to be affected.
CERF funds will enable provision of food assistance to about 62,400 beneficiaries, nutrition assistance to over 8,320 malnourished children, safe drinking water to approximately 40,000 people and agriculture inputs to 152,500 people in most affected districts in the provinces of Maputo, Gaza, Inhambane, Sofala and Tete.Total requirements for the next six months humanitarian response are $42.5 million. On 9 March, the RC of Mozambique submitted a request in the amount of $4.7 million to the CERF’s RR window, including interventions in the food assistance, WASH and nutrition sectors.

The situation is very different in Puntland and Somaliland where rainfall was well below average during the 2015 Gu (April to June) and Karan (August to September) seasons. By September 2015, they had already experienced two consecutive poor rainy seasons and already experiencing drought conditions. In its August to December 2015 forecast, the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit projected that about 330,000 people in the seven regions of Puntland and Somaliland would be in IPC phases 4-Emergency and 3-Crisis. By February 2016, the number had risen to 385,000 and yet to be verified assessments indicate up to 500,000 people could be affected in the two regions.
The CERF allocation of $11 million will support the scaling up of time-critical lifesaving humanitarian assistance necessary to avert a deterioration of the drought-induced crisis over the next five months for 224,000 severely food insecure people through life-saving Food Security, Nutrition, Health and WASH interventions in the hardest hit areas of Somaliland and Puntland. Activities include provision of food through unconditional cash transfers, conditional lifesaving cash assistance including cash for work to restore community assets, vaccination of goats to contain the spread of Contagious Caprine Pleuroneumonia disease outbreak, therapeutic feeding support for treatment of moderate acute malnutrition cases among children under five years of age and pregnant and lactating women, provision of emergency health services addressing communicable diseases, maternal and child health, supply of emergency health kits, water trucking, light rehabilitation of strategic water points and distribution of hygiene kits in drought affected areas.Total funds required for the response are $71 million, of which 20% has been funded.

The reported total number of people in need stands at 105,000 and is evolving rapidly. The displacement is of a scale that has not been seen in recent years in such a short period. It is unclear how long this displacement will last or whether people will return to their place of origin; and a decision has not been made on whether the current location of IDPs in Sortony will remain in light of the environmental challenges evident. IDPs come from areas that have been mostly inaccessible for humanitarian actors and humanitarian aid and have benefited from very limited access to basic services. While some have been able to bring household items and some cattle, others have fled without their livelihood items. The Sortony site, next to the UNAMID camp, itself is in an area that has been out of government control and where no infrastructure at all is available, hence a need for strong investment to accommodate the high number of displaced people.
The strategic focus and objective of the CERF request is “to provide emergency relief to people affected by conflict in Jebel Marra in North Darfur”, with a focus on Kabkabiya (Sortony), and, Tawilla ( Rwanda and Argo camp) and to reduce suffering of 86,400 people from IDPs, mainly women and children by providing life-saving assistance in line with Do No Harm principles and practices.
The interventions will be delivered in seven sectors, with two sectors mainstreaming protection (child protection and GBV) in an integrated manner responding to the three HRP strategic objectives-life-saving/emergency reliefs, protection, and food security and nutrition. Response includes WASH, Shelter/NFI, Food Security and Livelihoods, Nutrition, health and Protection, Education, and CCCM.

The current agricultural season (October 2015-April 2016) is deemed to have the lowest recorded rainfall in the SADC region in at least 35 years. The Swaziland Vulnerability Assessment Committee estimates that over 300,000 people--one quarter of the total population--are currently affected by the drought and require food assistance. The effects of the drought are expected to last at least until the 2017 harvest.
Total funds required for the response are $80 million--including immediate and longer term action--of which 20% is funded by the Government.
The CERF allocation of $3 million will be used to support over 71,500 people with food assistance, while the WASH sector will provide emergency water and sanitation access to some 95,000 people. The selection criteria are based on the economic vulnerability of households and communities in the areas marked as most affected by the drought situation as indicated by country assessment reports in the regions of Lubombo and Shiselweni.

The yellow fever outbreak in Luanda Province has seen significant increases in the number of reported cases and high mortality rates. The outbreak originated within the Eritrean refugee population and has spread rapidly to other inhabitants. There have been a growing number of districts in Luanda Province that are reporting cases and with high vector density. There is currently a presence of 683 suspected cases, 112 deaths and 90 confirmed cases distributed in 10 of the 12 districts of the Luanda Province. With suspected cases being confirmed in an increasing number of areas there is a heightened risk of yellow fever spreading around Angola and to neighbouring countries. WHO has analysed the situation and took into account the grading criteria of scale, urgency, complexity and context. On the basis of this analysis, it has been proposed to the Director General to declare this yellow fever outbreak in Angola as an internal WHO Grade 2 emergency.
Due to the urgency to vaccinate and contain the outbreak as quickly as possible, the yellow fever International Coordinating Group (ICG) has shipped 6.4 million vaccine doses from their emergency stockpile which are shipped for free to Global Alliance Vaccination Initiative (GAVI) eligible countries. However since Angola is not a GAVI-eligible country, the country has to cover the cost for replenishment of the yellow fever emergency stockpile. There is also a global shortage of yellow fever vaccine. If the number of suspected cases increase over the 6 million threshold than there will be a lack of available vaccines worldwide.
The strategic objective of the humanitarian response strategy is to conduct a reactive mass vaccination campaign that covers all Luanda’s districts. The plan is to cover at least 80% of the population in a short time frame in order to achieve herd immunity and contain the outbreak. Phase I, the first mass reactive campaign, started on 2 February 2016 and has since concluded, having reached 1.57 million people. Phase II has also concluded and has reached 2.3 million people in the Luanda province. Phase III is currently still ongoing with an approximet amount of 1 million people left to vaccinate. $3 million of CERF funds will be used to replenish 2,338,828 doses of yellow fever to the ICG emergency stockpile with which 2,107,049 individuals have been vaccinated in the Luanda Province.16-RR-AGO-19627-NR02paolo.balladelli@one.un.org#Paolo BalladelliEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-07-21T00:00:002016-09-01T00:00:002016-12-31T17:37:23.982017-05-02T22:55:41HealthHealth549413455650100506357702452496211019862107049Fully2016-03-31T00:00:0044626416-RR-KEN-19805Kenya RR Application, Mar 2016 (Measles)AfricaKenyaEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRMeaslesBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20162016-03-24T00:00:002016-03-24T00:00:002016-04-12T22:25:32.8472016-04-15T00:00:001049964.00962943A measles outbreak in Mandera country in northern Kenya began on 16 December 2016.

Three-quarters of cases are among children under 15 years, and about 636,000 children are estimated to be at risk of infection. The quality of health care is poor in the region due to a shortage of of health workers. Overall immunization coverage in Mandera, in 2014, stood at only 27.7 per cent. Under the lead of the Ministry of Health, aid agencies will conduct an emergency measles vaccination campaign and vitamin A supplementation in Mandera county, estimated to cost $3.5 million. CERF funds, of about $1 million for WHO and UNICEF, would cover parts of this campaign, including emergency measles vaccination and vitamin A supplementation for 280,000 children.16-RR-KEN-19805-NR03nooryussuf@un.org#Abdi Noor YussufEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-07-19T00:00:002016-09-14T00:00:002017-01-12T22:25:32.8472017-10-11T00:00:00HealthHealth131620013162025549902554993871192016-04-12T00:00:0044726516-RR-DJI-19828Djibouti RR Application, Mar 2016 (People Displaced by Drought and El Niño)AfricaDjiboutiEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRDroughtMeteorological, Hydrological and ClimatologicalNatural Disaster20162016-03-26T00:00:002016-03-26T00:00:002016-04-22T21:47:52.0972016-04-28T00:00:002002037.001972054Since the end of November 2015, Djibouti has been confronted with the arrival of 7,500 nomadic pastoralists from the Somali Region of Ethiopia fleeing from one of the most severe droughts in the last decades. Given the severity of the drought in both Ethiopia and Somalia, it is expected that these numbers will increase considerably over the next three to six months. All arrivals indicate that they intend to stay in Djibouti until the situation improves (in particular grazing areas), which means they will not return before the next rainy season in July at the earliest. Based on historical figures from previous severe droughts, knowledge of pastoral routes and the evolution of the drought in neighbouring countries these movements could increase to 12,000 arrivals in the same locations thus increasing the impact on already vulnerable host communities.
The new arrivals are malnourished, anaemic, have myriad health challenges including measles and have lost their livelihoods due to death of livestock. The influx of these vulnerable people is putting serious pressure on the already fragile health system and availability of water points in Djibouti, particularly in the remote rural areas.
The CERF allocation of $2 million will be used to address food security, prevention / detection / treatment of severe and moderate malnutrition, access to safe drinking water and preventative and curative health services for 18,500 nomadic pastoralists from Ethiopia and vulnerable host community in Djibouti. The livestock interventions will ensure that the same group of people avoid sliding into further humanitarian crisis. It is important to include host communities in the response as they themselves are critically food insecure and vulnerable due to recurrent droughts and non-inclusion could lead to tensions.

From April to August 2016, growth of staple crops (largely root crops) was stunted, with frosts wiping out crops in higher altitude areas completely. From January 2016, highly concerning field reports came in, including of starving children in the Western Province. This triggered a National Disaster Centre assessment (mVAM) supported by the World Food Programme. The assessment, which consisted of over 3,700 interviews with key informants living in affected areas confirmed that the food security situation had in fact deteriorated significantly over the three months since January. 1.31 million people were experiencing high food insecurity, with over 162,000 people in 6 Local Level Government areas (LLG) facing extreme food shortages and classified as severely food insecure. In addition, indications are strong of extreme food needs in Milne Bay outer islands, where the District Provincial Administrator says 18,700 people may need assistance. Including other pockets of critical need around the country (43,000 people), there are therefore approximately 223,700 people now requiring immediate humanitarian assistance.
The rapid deterioration of the food security situation has created an imperative for an immediate emergency response, with the priority being a rapid-scale up of food distributions and nutrition interventions while there are needs in health WASH, Agriculture and Early recovery. They key objectives for the CERF funds are to: i) Address the immediate food needs of people in areas suffering from extreme food shortages and ii) Ensure that vulnerable groups, particularly children under 5, suffering or at risk for severe acute malnutrition receive nutritional support.
The CERF funds will be used to kick-start a food security and nutrition (SAM) response in the 4 LLGs in Hela and Enga Provinces with an initial 2-month intervention (3-month for nutrition). The food situation in those two provinces is critical, staple crops will take 6-9 months to regrow due to the high altitude, and there are very complex logistics and access issues due to lack of road infrastructure and ongoing local conflicts.

A long period of drought, over two successive years, exacerbated and intensified by El Niño in the last six months or so is causing significant losses in agricultural production. The crop year was marked by a prolonged rain deficit (between September 2014 and March 2015) causing a deficit in major food crops in the South, such as maize, cassava and rice compared with a five-year average. The next harvest in May/June 2016 is expected to be equally poor. Further, the period between February and May is the food solder peak, but with the rapid deterioration observed since February 2016, a three-month lean season will likely translate to an acute humanitarian emergency, with the humanitarian impact continuing well beyond June 2016.
The lack of water is not only impacting agricultural and lifestock, but has also caused a spike in the cost of water. In areas where people are most vulnerable and face enormous challenges because of the drought, they may have to pay up to 28 as much for water as the price paid in urban centers like the capital. This increase in the cost of water has a real impact on the ability of households to pay for water, and as a result there is an alarming decrease in the amount of water consumed per person per day.
1.1 million people are food insecure, of whom 665,000 are facing severe food insecurity. In some areas, access to food is declining at an alarming rate. Household food stocks have been exhausted. The number of people who are severely food insecure is 14% higher than in March 2015 and 41% higher than in October 2015. In areas with high rates of severe food insecurity, 31 municipalities have a prevalence of severe acute malnutrition that exceeds the emergency threshold of 2 per cent.
The planned response with CERF fudns includes a response to food insecurity (WFP, FAO), nutrition services (WFP, UNICEF), a WASH response (UNICEF), and a health response (WHO and UNFPA). The requested amount for the CERF submission is $6 million.

As of 27 April, 270 cases had been reported in 23 states with an extraordinarily high case fatality rate at 50.4 per cent while some 4,535 people have been tested but not yet confirmed.
Response activities are required in all 23 affected states targeting a total population of 110 million people. Particularly vulnerable groups are health care workers who treat the patients and their close relatives who care for them and indeed the whole population living in the area. This would usually include wives, mothers and children who could become infected by coming in contact with infected rats or with body fluids of an ill patient.
The CERF allocation of $400,000 targets support to 300,000 people within four most severely affected and non-endemic states. WHO is the sole recipient of the CERF funds with activities focused on case management, laboratory diagnosis and surveillance including contact tracing. The project will be implemented within 6 months with the Federal Ministry of Health and the state ministries of health.The total requirement for the humanitarian response is $2 million, of which no funding has been received.

Thus far 8 people have died and 5 are receiving treatment at a center that was reactivated urgently after some months of inactivity. Complicating the situation, the declaration of the outbreak is coming at a time when many of the health responders and other actors were in the process of winding down their operations.
The resurgence of Ebola is caused by structural weaknesses at the community level (surveillance) and lack of close monitoring of families cured of Ebola. Further, late detection of the new contamination chain has contributed to the problem. The toll of the disease and the humanitarian consequences are still present with orphans and windows unable to sustain themselves.
The activities proposed in these 3 projects are aligned to the Response Mechanism developed by the National Coordination for the fight against Ebola in collaboration with international technical partners including the three applicants agencies. Specifically, WHO, IFRC and ALIMA are working towards preventing new infections through epidemiological surveillance, clinical monitoring and the management of cases. UNICEF is focusing on community involvement in prevention through social mobilization but also sanitation in high contamination risk communities. The main objective of the coordinated response to is to achieve 0 Ebola cases in Guinea. This CERF application includes support to 3 UN agencies (UNICEF, WHO and UNDP) in the health sector. UNDP specifically has taken a lead role of payment of the Ebola Response workers in Ebola Treatment Centres through operating NGOs supports NGOs to conduct safe and dignified burials. In this context and to this end UNDP has partnered amongst others with ALIMA and IFRC and
UNDP is willing to be accountable for both organizations and is confident that UNDP can adequately ensure oversight.
This CERF contribution, therefore will support the 3 UN agencies with an allocation of approximately $3 million.

Since mid-2015, 52 of 63 provinces – more than 83 per cent of the country – have been affected by drought, with 22 provinces currently drought-affected, of which 18 were severely affected and/or had declared a state of emergency as of 19 April 2016. Another eight provinces were at risk of becoming severely affected in the coming weeks. As a result, 2 million people are experiencing acute water shortages and require humanitarian assistance.
In response to the Government’s request for international support to its response, the United Nations prepared and launched jointly with the Government an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) to provide water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), food security, health, nutrition and early recovery support to the drought-affected population. Of the ERP caseload (2 million), 256,000 people are targeted by the CERF-supported WASH response, 180,000 by the Health Response, 17,500 by the Food Security response and 12,400 under-five children and pregnant and lactating women. The prioritization of sectors and the eight provinces included in the CERF-supported response is based on the results of the joint multi-sector rapid assessment conducted from 21-24 March in six of the then 12 provinces that had declared states of emergency, and has been informed by subsequent consultation with the Government.

It is estimated that 2.8 million people have been displaced within or across the borders of Chad, Cameroon, Niger and Nigeria, with almost 100,000 displaced persons in Chad. Between 21 July and early September 2015, more than 48,000 new IDPs were registered in the Lake region, bringing the total number of refugees, IDPs and returnees to over 77 000 people. Following the attacks of 10 October to Bagasola, the Government declared a state of emergency in the Lake region.
Following a multisectoral mission organized in January 2016 in the northern basin of the Liwa Daboua-axis, 22 sites have been identified with an initial estimate of over 56,000 displaced people. The situation of displaced people is alarming. Families fled leaving behind their property. They have urgent needs in protection, health, water and sanitation, shelter and essential household items, as well as food security and nutrition.
According to a study that took place in mid-March 2016 the number of people severely food insecure is estimated to be more than 1 million, which represents an increase of 400,000 new people compared to the situation at the same time in November and December 2015. The analysis revealed that there is a hunger gap in various departments in the region of Lake Mamdi and Wayi. The causes of reduced food availability are due to a decline in agricultural production, rising grain prices and declining terms of trade partly linked to Boko Haram crisis and the consequent population displacements.
These are the two triggers that have resulted in a CERF request. The strategic objective of the CERF funding is to provide multisectoral emergency relief and protection to 76,846 vulnerable persons (IDPs and host communities) that are newly displaced in the Lake region, as well as 61,419 people newly affected by food insecurity and malnutrition. The CERF funds will allow provision of immediate assistance to the most vulnerable people, including IDPs, as well as vulnerable host populations that require emergency assistance. The humanitarian team is requesting $10 million from CERF for this immediate response.

In particular, the number of South Sudanese refugees arriving in Khor Omer in East Darfur increased from 5,000 people in February to almost 29,000 by end of May. In response to the new influx, humanitarian partners under the leadership of UNHCR developed a three-month emergency response plan to address the most pressing needs resulting from the surge of arrivals into East Darfur, South Darfur and West Kordofan.
The CERF allocation of $8 million will prioritize the most pressing needs of more than 41,000 South Sudanese refugees who have arrived in East Darfur and 1,900 anticipated to arrive. East Darfur has been prioritized because the state has received nearly 80 per cent of the new influx into areas where resources and response capacity have been extremely limited. CERF funds will support construction of a temporary camp for refugees, and provide time-critical life-saving services through provision of health and nutrition services, shelter and non-food items, water and sanitation, food assistance and emergency livestock services. To support protection concerns, CERF funding will support initial reception arrangements at the new site, family tracing and reunification for unaccompanied and separated children, assistance to persons with specific needs, support for community based protection networks, and comprehensive GBV prevention and response services.The overall response plan requirement for the new influx of refugees is $40 million based on inter-agency assessments and extensive consultation with field staff and partners, involves camp-based assistance in East Darfur, and rural community-based assistance in West Kordofan and South Darfur. To date, 5% of the $40 million new requirement has been funded.

The 11,583 refugees fleeing from Mozambique have settled along the border line with some 13,000 effected host community members, particularly in Mwanza District. Over the past months, new arrivals have been registered in other districts, Chikwawa, Nsanje and to a lesser extent Ntcheu as well as spontaneous arrivals at Luwani refugee camp itself. Efforts are made to reach out to these populations of concern while addressing the urgent needs in Luwani required by the opening of a whole new camp. The humanitarian community began relocation of the registered Mozambican refugees to the Luwani refugee camp as of the 15 April, 2016, following the Government’s re-opening of the camp 15 March 2016, attempting to ease the strain on the affected hosting community population. The Mozambican refugees are 63 per cent children under 18 years of age, with a total of 54 per cent female. This triggered a new crisis for immediate and coordinated humanitarian response in order to prevent loss of life in both Kapise transit centre and Luwani newly re-opened refugee camp. In particular for food, shelter/NFIs and health for refugees relocated to Luwani.
The inter-agency response aims to provide protection through life-saving and sustaining assistance, while ensuring the prevention of deterioration of vulnerabilities and promotion of self-reliance for Mozambican refugees through the following broad strategic approach: 1) Relocation to Luwani in safety and dignity; 2) Continued registration and provision of protection and essential assistance at Kapise and Luwani ensure refugees have access to protection; 3) Outreach to persons of concern beyond Luwani and Kapise enables remote protection; and 4) Community-based protection and a solutions-oriented approach underpin the emergency response. The CERF submission will provide immediate assistance of US 1.8 million as other resources are being mobilized focusing on basic lifesaving response including food, shelter/NFI and health by WFP, UNHCR and UNICEF.16-RR-MWI-21135-NR03johanne.fremstad@gmail.com#Johanne FremstadEnglishFabrizio Cesaretti2016-10-10T00:00:002016-12-09T00:00:002017-04-07T21:21:15.7832017-10-13T18:18:14Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security2334220945432109165237618304HealthHealth6120612579716501262Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI10025721574936625156131352016-07-01T00:00:0046532716-RR-NGA-21156Nigeria RR Application, Jun 2016 (Lake Chad Crisis)AfricaNigeriaWestern AfricaWestern AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20162016-06-20T00:00:002016-06-20T00:00:002016-07-14T00:00:002016-07-18T00:00:0013375642.0013229882A joint UN multi-sector assessment was conducted in Borno and Yobe States in April covering the newly accessible and other areas and concluded that these people – who have had limited access to assistance over the past two years, face malnutrition. The nutrition situation is compounded by food insecurity, deplorable water and sanitation facilities, limited coverage of health services and inadequate shelter. The assessment showed that around 800,000 IDPs host communities in Borno and Yobe States face emergency conditions and require immediate food assistance. The IDPs include 180,000 in greater Maiduguri, 120,000 in camps and 250,000 in newly liberated areas in Borno State. In Yobe State, more than 250,000 people are severely food insecure. These figures are expected to increase during the coming lean season. Staple food prices in northern Borno State have increased by 50 to100%, and market functionality is limited because of insecurity and restrictions on trade and movement.
It also showed that an estimated 350,000 children under 5 will suffer from Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM), 244,000 in Borno State alone, in 2016. Without urgent interventions, an estimated 67,000 children 6-59 months with SAM are likely to die in Borno and Yobe States in 2016 or equivalent to 184 daily. The SAM estimated during the HNO/HRP was only 83,079. However, with the new caseload in newly liberated areas, SAM has increased to 398,188. Some 64,000 children 6-24 months urgently need supplementary specialized nutritious foods and 21,000 pregnant and lactating mothers need food supplements.
Many displaced women report that they experienced sexual and gender based violence when fleeing the armed conflict. IDPs/returnees continue to be exposed to protection risks, in particular, the most vulnerable such as older persons, child headed households, women, boys and girls and those with disabilities. IDPs/returnees face further restriction on their freedom of movement, which at times, limits access to basic services and livelihood. Civilians in newly accessible areas have very high psychosocial needs, as IDPs were subjected to serious human rights violations under Boko Haram, including abductions, sexual abuse, forced marriage, forced religious conversions and witnessing grave violence to family members.
This appeal is specially requested to immediately cover those who are in newly liberated areas, who are in dire need of food, nutrition to avoid further deterioration of the food insecurity, global acute malnutrition, exposure to sexual abuse and exploitation, and sexual and gender based violence. The LGAs of implementation will be in Damboa, Dikwa, Monguno, Bama and Maiduguri (in Borno state).
Food Security and Nutrition: Around 118,000 people in newly accessible areas will be covered with either cash based interventions (85,000), general food distribution (13,000) and supplementary feeding for children between 6 and 23 months suffering from or at risk of MAM (20,000). In Protection/child protection: 250,000 are targeted to benefit from protection monitoring of newly accessible communities; (2) 4,000 severely traumatized IDPs, including sexual violence survivors, will benefit from provision of psycho-social support, (3) 650 high risk children. For SGBV: A total of 40,000 individuals are targeted to benefit from the psychosocial services to meet the needs of vulnerable population and distribution of dignity kits to women and girls., 3) community sensitization on referral pathways for GBV and, 4) capacity building for security personnel on GBV and PSEA. This submission will also fund common logistics (UNHAS) and UNDSS.

The surveillance system of disease control pointed out that the threshold related to a yellow fever outbreak had been reached. The trend in confirmed and suspected cases is also still on the increase. Latest on June the 23rd 2016, a total of 1307 suspected cases of yellow fever including 75 deaths were reported by the national surveillance system. Of these cases, 68 were confirmed as being yellow fever in 24 health zones in the following five provinces: Bas-Uélé, Kwango, Tshuapa, Kongo Central and Kinshasa. The dynamics of transmission, cross-border population movements are almost impossible to control and easier the spread of the epidemic and the conjunction of the ongoing cholera and measles outbreaks that considerably reduce the capacity of the MoH to fully cover the yellow fever response.
The project aims to support government effort that aim to reduce morbidity and mortality related to the yellow fever outbreak in affected areas, and prevents its expansion to other health districts. Lifesaving activities will include:
WHO will undertake the procurement of supplies that include Emergency Health Kits to be provided to health facilities for case management of around 600 new cases. Reagents will be provided for laboratories for early detection of case with good diagnostic. An emergency training for Health workers will be provided on the management of cases. Other supplies will be providing to initiate surveillance activities where this hasn’t started as well as early detection of cases. UNICEF will undertake social mobilization and risk communication for prevention in those prioritized health zones too.16-RR-COD-21185-NR05macdiarmid@un.org#Charlotte MacDiarmidEnglishJulia Wittig2016-10-13T00:00:002016-12-14T00:00:002017-04-13T20:56:17.5732018-01-08T00:00:00HealthHealth22165092601988481849727151162941375565649110474988LimitedVery difficult to evaluate credibility of the number of beneficiaries as almost all of them are indirect beneficiaries.

The landslides were triggered by the heavy and torrential rains in these areas as a result of the phenomenon from the El Nino and the La Nina. The sustained heavy rains have also caused some flooding in these districts. This disaster resulted in the loss of 50 lives, 27 injuries, complete destruction of 2,317 houses, partial destruction of 1,500 houses, damage of 3,447 hectare of agricultural land, loss of livestock, disruption of infrastructure such as water supply system, bridges and roads, and affected approximately 80,000 households.

The current humanitarian crisis in the Karnali zone is the result of the worst drought since 1960. The current agricultural drought conditions are classified as ‘extreme’ and ‘severe’ in nearly all parts of the Karnali. Further, and in addition to food insecurity, due to the prolonged drought in Karnali region, the situation of nutrition among children age less than five years and pregnant and lactating women has been deteriorating.
The overall CERF strategy is to provide immediate relief and to help address the effects of the drought and carry over vulnerable households until the next harvest. There are three proposed interventions: food security, nutrition and agriculture. All three interventions help address the short term acute needs of the affected households and people. Through the CERF grant some 50,000 affected people will be assisted. The CERF grant is for approximately US 2 million.16-RR-NPL-21571-NR05dan.ayliffe@one.un.org#Dan AyliffeEnglishMirna Loiferman2016-11-02T00:00:002017-01-04T00:00:002017-05-01T22:04:09.2732017-10-20T20:19:43Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture54701006515535516095781473830273FullyFood Security - Food AssistanceFood Security50191174516764445593701382530589FullyNutritionNutrition602210602218884527137115982176203Fully2016-07-29T00:00:0047031016-RR-TLS-21670Timor Leste RR Application, Jul 2016 (Drought)AsiaTimor-LesteSouth-Eastern AsiaSouth-Eastern AsiaRRDroughtMeteorological, Hydrological and ClimatologicalNatural Disaster20162016-07-29T00:00:002016-08-04T00:00:002016-08-08T23:46:52.912016-08-10T00:00:00846000.00846703From May to July June 2016, the severity of the consequences of prolonged reduced especially in the northern and eastern coastal areas of Timor Leste was evident. Rainfall was at 70 per cent of normal, in a country where over 70% of the population relay on subsistence farming, the scale of the impact of El Niño has been significant and felt across all municipalities. Erratic rains resulted in both areas and yield reductions of the maize and rice crops. Rice field preparation was delayed, and in February, the general planting progress status on rice was between 40 to 50 per cent of the normal.
Based on assessment results, the UN Resident Coordinator Office, in close collaboration with the HCT and the Ministry of Interior, finalized an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) on 19 April. The scope of the ERP is to assist 400,000 people in the prioritized, 5 worst affected areas. Priority needs are in the areas of water, food, nutrition, health, livelihoods and education. Interventions on food and water are most urgent.
The strategic objective of the CERF request is to address the immediate food and nutritional needs of people in areas suffering from extreme food shortages. This CERF request prioritizes blanket feeding implemented by WFP in collaboration with Government and other partners to address the risk of severe acute malnutrition among children, as well as pregnant and lactating women. The supplementary fortified food to be provided would ensure that the most vulnerable of the communities get the nutritional intake they need during the three-month intervention.

The barren desert landscape, with no relief, vegetation, or open water sources coupled with soaring daytime temperatures and frigid temperatures at night is the most hostile of environments. The nearest settlement is 170km away and access is across 120km of open desert. This creates desperate conditions for this population and makes the delivery of any assistance, all of which needs to be shipped in, incredibly challenging.
The Jordanian authorities have restricted access of this population to the Jordanian territories due to national security concerns, since the majority of the population originates from ISIS-controlled areas in northern Syria. After the VBIED attack on Ruqban on 21 June, the Government sealed the borders and suspended humanitarian assistance delivery before a decision was made on resuming water and food assistance. This CERF request focuses on enhancing security arrangements and delivering priority life-saving assistance; food, water and sanitation, and 24/7 basic primary healthcare for US12 million.
Lastly, since approval of the concept note, only UNICEF and UNDSS have access to the population. Due to the urgency and lifesaving nature of the water trucking response, these projects have been advanced until the remaining agencies have access.

This includes 14.4 million people unable to meet their food needs, 19.4 million who lack clean water and sanitation and 14.1 million without adequate healthcare. The 9th Task Force on Population Movement (TFPM) report showed in May 2016 that around 800,000 individuals, conflict and disaster driven IDPs returned to their villages of origin requiring different livelihood and rehabilitation support. Close to 83 per cent of IDPs in Yemen are sheltered in hosted settings (where IDPs are hosted by families, friends or others, usually without paying rent) and in rented accommodation. About 51% of the population is suffering from food insecurity and malnutrition, in line with Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or Emergency (IPC Phase 4). The Health Resources & Availability Mapping System (HeRAMS) preliminary result showed that only 46 % of health facilities are fully functioning. The goal of UN agencies’ projects for CERF is to deliver an integrated package of assistance to IDPs, host communities and returnees including health and nutrition services, provision of shelter kits and NFIs, rehabilitation of water resources and provision of protection services. UN agencies are targeting 940,000 people in Ibb, Amanat Al Asimah and Lahj Governorates.The Humanitarian Country Team requires about $1.8 billion for humanitarian action in Yemen in 2016. According to FTS, Yemen has received 25% of its requirement as of 31 May 2016. The CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $13 million for 6 projects, if approved.

Food insecurity and malnutrition among children, pregnant women and mothers remain a concern. Malnutrition, diarrhoeal diseases and pneumonia are among the three leading casues of child deaths and illness. In remote parts, immunization coverage is low and access to health care limited. The country hosts more than 2,200 refugees at Umkulu refugee camp, who rely on assistance. Aid agencies in Eritrea will use CERF funding to provide assistance to more than 421,000 people in need, with health care and nutrition services for 419,000 affected people in three of the six regions, Northern Red Sea, Anseba and Gash-Barka, and multi-sector assistance for the 2,200 refugees.The country team requires about $35 million for humanitarian action in Eritrea in 2016, which was funded at 6.5 per cent ($2.2m) as of mid-August. The CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $2 million for 4 projects, if approved.

The average daily arrival rate from July 7th to August 1st 2016 was about 2,166 South Sudanese refugees, amounting to a ten-fold increase based upon the daily average of 200 individuals prior to the crisis. These new arrivals join the existing 229,176 South Sudanese refugee population in Uganda for an estimated total of 308,479 South Sudanese refugees and asylum seekers as of August 14th 2016. Refugees from South Sudan now constitute the largest and most severe humanitarian emergency in Uganda, and the CERF Rapid Response grant request for US$7,000,000 has been prioritized to focus on life-saving initiatives for the increasing number of 64,000 new arrivals entering the country since July 7th. CERF funding will be utilised to provide life-saving protection and emergency assistance services in over-crowded temporary reception facilities, to improve the capacity of these facilities, and to provide life-saving protection and assistance in refugee settlements in Arua, Yumbe and Adjumani districts. The following sectors have been prioritised: Protection (Registration, GBV, Child Protection); Food Security; Shelter and NFIs; Health & Nutrition; and Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH). The CERF funded project will also support the response to the recent cholera outbreak among refugees (and one host community member) in Pagirinya reception centre in Adjumani district.

Since December 2013, the escalation of the political and humanitarian crisis in the Central African Republic has forced thousands of people to flee to neighbouring countries. Today, 73,000 Central African refugees, 83,000 Chadian citizens who had lived in CAR but were forced to return and 600,000 people from host communities in south Chad are affected by this crisis and many require humanitarian assistance. With a CERF grant of $10 million for underfunded emergencies, aid agencies in Chad will provide humanitarian relief to 217,000 people in returnee sites, refugee camps and villages that people who have fled from CAR, including all 83,000 returness, all 73,000 refugees, and 70,000 people from host communities. Assistance will include food aid, agricultural livelihoods support, nutrition services, health care, water and sanitation, education, emergency shelter and basic household items. In addition, CERF will support the humanitarian aid service in Chad. All these activities are part of the Humanitarian Response Plan.The Humanitarian Response Plan for Chad in 2016 requires $541 million and was 14 per cent funded at the time of the analysis for this allocation round (it is 19 per cent funded as of end-August). The CERF allocation from the underfunded emergencies window will amount to about $10 million for 7 projects (13 budgets since the submission contains several joint projects), if approved.

Myanmar is undergoing a very active monsoon season with heavy and continued rains causing main rivers to overflow. The rains intensified at the beginning of August, causing fresh displacement, as well as destruction of crops and housing. More than 488,000 people have been displaced across 11 states/regions since flooding began by mid-July 2016. The CERF interventions will also assist in avoiding loss of hard-won development gains as a result of the floods in affected areas. CERF funds would be used to complement a release from the country-based pooled fund to NGO partners, demonstrating how these two funds can work hand-in-hand to support different elements of a response.16-RR-MMR-21991-NR04rosa-berlanga@un.org#Narciso Rosa-BerlangaEnglishdorjee2@un.org2016-12-12T00:00:002017-02-07T00:00:002017-06-07T00:00:002017-06-15T00:00:002017-12-27T00:00:00Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security169293238849317166623592352585101902FullyHealthHealth31286503963110985442895527464905FullyProtection - Gender-Based ViolenceGender Based Violence0825482540231932319331447Fully2016-09-02T00:00:0048531816-RR-CIV-22036Cote d'Ivoire RR Application, Aug 2016 (Displacement)AfricaCote d'IvoireWestern AfricaWestern AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20162016-08-29T00:00:002016-08-29T00:00:002016-09-14T19:25:03.772016-09-20T00:00:002114210.001965416This application aims to provide essential life-saving aid to the most vulnerable groups among the IDPs and host families (food, WASH, health, protection), estimated at 20,000 in Western Côte d’Ivoire (departments of Duekoué and Bangolo, Guémon) who have been evicted by Government with little notice from areas they had been living in.

Currently host to about 60% of the total of IDPs in the country, there has been an increase in since June due to renewed attacks from the Boko Haram insurgency and ongoing military operations led by the Multinational Force. Consequently, 40,000 new IDPs have been displaced, increasing the total of IDPs in the Department up to 150,000 and adding to the current burden on host communities. The CERF Rapid Response grant will target 40,000 newly displaced and 20,000 vulnerable host communities as well as women and children who are the most affected by the crisis and remain at high risks of sexual violence and forced recruitment. Critical urgent lifesaving needs are required to provide food assistance, access to potable water and basic health services, including reproductive health services, protection and emergency education.

As a result of the earthquake, an estimated 117,721 people are in need of assistance, having lost their homes, most of them living outside without access to adequate shelter. The total humanitarian needs are US$ 9,000,000. The education sector as a whole has been hit hard by the earthquake crisis. In Bukoba Municipal up to 69.5% of primary school and 36% of secondary school children are negatively affected and a high number of classrooms have been damaged affecting the capacity of schools to accommodate the students. The CERF allocation is at US$ 1,498,097 and focuses on supporting the three top priority sectors; Shelter/NFI; Education and schools WASH; and Child Protection targeting a total of 85,917 people. Of the overall people who have lost their houses, about 15% will be provided with temporary shelter by CERF funds. 16,917 Primary and Secondary school children from 25 most affected schools will be provided with safe learning spaces through establishment of temporary classrooms until permanent structures are established. Adequate financial resources are not available within the UNCT to respond to these priorities, therefore a request to the CERF was made in order to kick start the interventions, meanwhile other resource mobilization efforts are initiated.16-RR-TZA-22803-NR04mona.folkesson@one.un.org#Mona FolkessonEnglishJulia Wittig2017-01-30T00:00:002017-03-31T00:00:002017-07-26T17:08:53.6472017-10-19T00:00:00Protection - Child ProtectionChild Protection63221079740175271619914616547MostlyEducationEducation57030570357200572011423MostlyShelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI17004162173322117896173693526568486Mostly2016-10-26T00:00:0049133216-RR-CUB-22839Cuba RR Application Oct 2016 (Hurricane Matthew)AmericasCubaLatin America and the CaribbeanCaribbeanRRStormBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20162016-10-13T00:00:002016-10-13T00:00:002016-10-31T17:51:31.7372016-11-04T00:00:006390351.005352736Hurricane Matthew, category 4 according to the Saffir-Simpson scale, directly impacted Cuba during eight hours from 4-5 October, 2016. 1,079,000 people were evacuated in six provinces of the country. The impact of the hurricane has been localized but highly destructive. The five most eastern municipalities in the most eastern province of Guantánamo have been badly damaged aswell as severely affecting municipalities in the province of Holguin. Most public infrastructure, social institutions, manufacturing centers that provide basic products at a subsidized price, and housing have been extremely damaged. Over one hundred thousand people have damaged houses and limited access to safe water.
The CERF application aims to provide immediate life-saving assistance to 298,935 people in seven severely affected municipalities within a period of six months. This immediate assistance will focus on provision of emergency shelter, food security, safe water and sanitation services, health care and education in emergency.

This very sudden and unexpected influx was not planned for since as per the Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP) 3,500 new arrivals for 2016 had been projected. To respond to the most critical needs of the new arrivals in Ethiopia and those that are expected to arrive until the end of the year US$ 53.7 million will be required. Thus far, some US$4.4 million have been made available for the response. The requested CERF funding of US$ 9,491,861 will address the most critical needs of the recently arrived 40,000 refugees of the 100,000 new arrivals expected until the end of the year. Refugees will be registered, screened for vulnerabilities and emergency protection services will be provided at both Pagak entry point and the camps, including response to SGBV survivors and essential Child Protection services. The relocation of refugees to camp extensions and eventually a new site will be scaled up to 3,000 refugees per day. Additionally, with Global Acute Malnutrition Rates rising from 8 percent to 11.7 percent over the last month, CERF funds will enable WFP to counter severe and moderate acute malnutrition. The Ethiopian Emergency Response Fund (ERF) has currently depleted its resources but is liaising with donors to seek additional funding and will, once these become available, make funding available to NGOs to complement the CERF funding.

Altogether, 7.6 million people are at risk of cholera in Yemen, including 4.5 million people in six governorates, Sana’a City, Taizz, Al Bayda, Aden, Lahj and Al Hudaydah, with confirmed or suspected cases. Health and WASH clusters provided an Integrated Cholera Response Plan on 10 October that presents an integrated response to the outbreak of cholera and acute watery diarrhea. It outlines emergency health, WASH and communications activities in 15 governorates, including six governorates where cholera cases have been confirmed or are suspected, and nine governorates at higher risk.
This CERF allocation will provide immediate life-saving response in health and WASH sectors, targetting 155,038 people in six top priority governorates, with the aim to reduce morbidity and mortality resulting to the cholera outbreak. While total requirements for this integrated response plan are $22.3 million, divided into Health, Water and Sanitation and Communication for Development sectors, the total estimated cost of immediate WASH and health activities in the six priority governorates is $10.5 million. The CERF grant of $2 million will be applied against these requirements, leaving $8.5 million in funding urgently required from other donors. OCHA has also activated complementary $2 million allocation from the Reserve emergency window of the Yemen Humanitarian Pooled Fund (HPF) for humanitarian organizations involved in the cholera response.16-RR-YEM-22865-NR07Hassan51@un.org#Ghada HassanEnglishMirna Loiferman2017-01-23T00:00:002017-03-20T00:00:002017-07-20T17:26:27.212017-11-06T00:00:00HealthHealth363132299859311351022662961731121042FullyWater, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene11293116542294710344118092215345100Fully2016-10-20T00:00:0049433116-RR-HTI-22873Haiti RR Application Oct 2016 (Hurricane Matthew)AmericasHaitiLatin America and the CaribbeanCaribbeanRRStormBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20162016-10-17T00:00:002016-10-17T00:00:002016-10-27T23:20:53.6432016-10-31T00:00:006641823.006838529The application aims to address the humanitarian needs following the impact of Hurricane Matthew in the South of Haiti that resulted in widespread damage, flooding and displacement. As of 11 October 2016, the Directorate of Civil Protection of Haiti had confirmed 473 deaths, 339 injuries and 75 people missing. The number of evacuees is estimated at 175,509 people from four departments: Grand’Anse (99,400), Nippes (7,866), Ouest (3,877), and Sud (64,366). They are now living in some 224 temporary shelters. Among the approximate 2.1 million people affected, UNICEF estimates that 894,057 are children. Nearly 1,410,774 people need humanitarian assistance, including 592,581 children. Hurricane Matthew is the largest humanitarian crisis in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake and constitutes itself an unprecedented emergency for Haiti. Humanitarian needs include access to a sufficient supply of quality water, education, shelter, child protection, health and nutrition. Cholera continues to be a large concern and emergency interventions are complementing the existing cholera response where possible.16-RR-HTI-22873-NR05ditaranto@un.org#Enzo Di TarantoEnglishMirna Loiferman2017-01-30T00:00:002017-03-31T00:00:002017-07-27T23:20:53.6432017-11-01T00:00:00Food Security - AgricultureAgriculture235800210600446400229500224100453600900000MostlyFood Security - Food AssistanceFood Security2200074000960002400081000105000201000MostlyHealthHealth7066863248133916119667263689383356517272MostlyMulti-Sector Refugee AssistanceMulti-Sector166343250307416650172987260811433798850448MostlyNutritionNutrition1503015031629016293132MostlyProtection - Gender-Based ViolenceGender Based Violence88355443847827591123711680MostlyWater, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene20638285004913819829273834721296350Mostly2016-10-27T00:00:0049533416-RR-AFG-23148Afghanistan RR Application, Nov 2016 (Returnees from Pakistan)AsiaAfghanistanSouthern AsiaSouthern AsiaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20162016-11-07T00:00:002016-11-21T00:00:002016-11-22T18:07:25.8832016-12-01T00:00:009736611.009782398Triggered by heightened political pressure and security threats on Afghans in Pakistan, over 480,000 undocumented returnees and registered refugees have returned to Afghanistan from Pakistan since July, representing a ten-fold increase in the number of returnees from the period between January and June. The Afghanistan Flash Appeal launched in September aims to cater the needs of approximately 620,000 returning Afghans expected between September and December, which represent US$144.2 million of the total funding requirement of $152 million. Only $34 million or 23 per cent of the Appeal has been funded so far. Initial Rapid Needs Assessment found shelter, WASH and food to be the greatest needs for the newly-arriving returnees, many of whom lack basic necessities and are in highly vulnerable physical and mental states. This CERF allocation of $9.7 million will provide immediate life-saving assistance to new arrivals and cover the most critical gaps in the areas of high return. The CERF-funded projects will target 385,000 people with food, health, protection, emergency shelter, NFI and cash assistance to be delivered in Torkham Border, IOM Transit Centre, four UNHCR Encashment and Transit Centres in Herat, Jalalabad, Kabul and Kandahar, as well as provinces of Nangarhar, Kabul, Kunar and Laghman. The CERF grant will complement US$5 million allocation from the CHF Emergency Reserve, directed to plug critical gaps in the response mainly in Nangarhar province, together to address the rapidly-increasing humanitarian needs caused by the recent spike in returnee population which was not envisaged by the country’s 2016 Humanitarian Response Plan.

The Jordanian authorities have restricted access of this population to the Jordanian territories due to national security concerns, and sealed off the borders and suspended humanitarian assistance following a VBIED attack on Rukban on 21 June. On 1 September, the USG met with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the Jordanian Armed Forces and managed to secure an agreement to resume humanitarian operations at a new distribution point. The total financial requirement for the emergency response for these 100,000 displaced Syrians from June to the end of the year was estimated at $117 million, of which only $36.7 million has been funded so far. This CERF allocation of US$5.7 million will complement an earlier CERF RR allocation of $4.3 million which funded WASH assistance and security enhancement arrangements in August, and targets the stranded Syrians in dire need of humanitarian assistance with additional security coordination, health, nutrition, protection, shelter and camp management activities.

Many of these refugees are stranded in the border area and, based on a multisectoral needs assessment conducted in August, expected to be suffering deplorable conditions with makeshift shelters and limited to no access to WASH facilities and health services. The total humanitarian funding requirement to address the needs of these refugees and their host communities is estimated at US$13,333.333 of which US$4,550.000 has been pledged so far. This CERF allocation of US$4,000.154 aims to provide immediate life-saving assistance to 32,325 people including 20,000 South Sudanese refugees and 12,325 people from host communities over six months, through ensuring relocation of the South Sudanese refugees in the border area to two new refugee sites in Biringi and Meri and delivering emergency shelter, WASH, food security and nutrition, agriculture, health, and protection assistance. The geographic areas to be covered by this allocation will be the Aru (Ituri Province) and Faradje (Haut Uele Province) territories.

Faced by unexpectedly fierce resistance, ISF now predicts that the operations will be prolonged beyond the initially-planned two to three months. As a result, over 56,000 displaced people (as of 15 November) are in need of time-critical assistance to survive severe winter conditions outside of their homes in the coming months. In addition, ISIL snipers are targeting civilians, firing indiscriminately on people trying to leave Mosul, resulting in a spike in civilian casulaties. Over 20 OCHA-led assessment missions have reached newly-taken areas and have identified priority needs for health (especially trauma and maternity care), protection, WASH and food assistance. As the Mosul response was not envisaged in the 2016 Iraq Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), Mosul Flash Appeal was launched in July 2016 requesting $284 million to address the preparedness needs in shelter, food, WASH, health and protection sectors. The total humanitarian funding requirement to address outstanding acute needs of conflict-affected population in and around Mosul today is estimated at $167.5 million, of which $54.5 million has been pledged so far. This CERF allocation of 18.4 million aims to provide immediate life-saving assistance to displaced families and their host population through activities in health and emergency shelter/NFI sectors. CERF-funded projects are strategically aligned with the forthcoming 2017 Iraq HRP and will be complemented by the Iraq Humanitarian Pooled Fund. An estimated 471,000 people will directly benefit from the projects under this application, which will be implemented in accessible areas of eastern Mosul City, the Mosul corridor and parts of Ninewa, Salah al-Din and Erbil Governorates over six months.

Teknaf and Ukhia Upazilas, which currently host a large number of both registered refugees and UMNs, have received the highest influx. A Multi-Cluster/Sectoral Initial Rapid Assessment conducted by IOM, WFP and NGO partners from 24 November to 1 December identified priority needs of the newly arrived, including Protection, Food Security/Nutrition, WASH, Health and Shelter. On 4 December, key humanitarian organizations present in Cox’s Bazar were granted access to the affected areas by the national authorities. At the request of the Government, humanitarian partners agreed to adopt a ‘discreet’ and ‘low-profile’ approach in delivering assistance to this population, by focusing on strengthening existing basic services without building new infrastructure. This CERF allocation of US$3.1 million – against the overall funding requirement of $7.5 million - aims to provide immediate life-saving assistance to 22,000 displaced people who newly arrived in Cox’s Bazar through activities in emergency shelter, food security, nutrition, protection, WASH and health (including reproductive health) sectors to be implemented over four to five months. The CERF-funded projects will be strategically aligned with the Joint Humanitarian Contingency Plan of the UN in Bangladesh, which was released on 26 November to address the humanitarian needs arising from an estimated influx of 50,000 people directly affected by the current crisis in northern Rakhine, and the Humanitarian Response Plan in development.

Multi-sectoral needs assessments and analysis conducted by the Government and humanitarian partners recorded a series of negative coping mechanisms among the affected households whose livelihood entirely depends on animal husbandry, including reduced food intake, buying food on loan, children dropping out of schools, animal theft and other community conflict, and prioritizing well-being of animals over basic family needs. Acknowledging the limited national capacity to respond to this crisis, the Deputy Prime Minister on 23 December sent a letter to the RC requesting international assistance to the affected vulnerable herder communities to prevent the collapse of their livelihoods. Out of 37,000 herder households living in the affected districts, an estimated 13,000 households are likely to require some form of assistance. Of these, humanitarian organizations are aiming to strengthen the coping capacity of the most vulnerable 8,000 households through targeted assistance in agriculture, early recovery, health and nutrition, protection and education sectors. This CERF allocation of US$1.1million, against the total funding requirement of $6.7 million for the next six months, will provide emergency agriculture (livestock) and multi-purpose cash assistance to 3,500 herder households (12,600 people) in 36 most-affected districts of 13 provinces in the country over a six-month period. The CERF response will cover the most time-critical elements of the overall humanitarian response spearheaded by the Government and supported by the UN, Red Cross, INGOs and other partners.

It is projected that in 2017, 8.5 million people in north-east Nigeria’s Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States will require humanitarian assistance. Famine-like conditions are forecast for 120,000 people and 5.1 million people in all are expected to be food insecure by mid-2017. Some 450,000 children in the North-East suffer from severe acute malnutrition.
The Nigeria 2017 HRP requirement is US$ 1.1 billion. At the time of the CERF UFE application, the 2016 HRP was 42% funded.
This UFE CERF application targets approximately 2.6 million people in the Borno, Adamawa and Yobe states (North East). These areas are among the most affected by displacement due to Boko-Haram-related violence. IDPs and people in host communities require emergency education, food assistance, health and nutrition supplies, protection services, shelter and WASH responses.

Without a state-level agreement on the use of resources and roles and responsibilities or a common strategy for humanitarian response, people living in or returning to conflict-affected areas are faced with extensive infrastructural damage, limited public services and security risks due to widespread contamination by explosive hazards.
The 2017 Libya Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) aims to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to 941,000 people out of 1.33 million people in need with a funding requirement of US$151 million. Under the HRP, the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) will support actions to enable safe and dignified access to essential health services and other basic social services, as well as protection of most vulnerable Libyans, migrants, refugees and asylum seekers. So far, only $9.1 million (6 per cent) of the HRP’s total funding requirement has been received as of 3 March 2017.
This CERF allocation of $6 million will address the most critical priorities as agreed by the HCT and will jump-start time-critical humanitarian assistance in health (including reproductive health), food security, WASH and protection (including child protection, S/GBV and mine action) sectors in Benghazi, Ubari and Sebha governorates of Libya with multi-sectoral assistance targeting the most vulnerable groups. With most of UN agencies and their international partners operating remotely, the CERF-funded projects will largely be implemented by local partners including government agencies, the Libyan Red Crescent Society and NGOs that are well-established in Libya and in the project areas. The HCT will maintain regular and close coordination with the sectoral and local partners to monitor the ground humanitarian situations and provide strategic and operational support for project implementation.

The number of internally displaced persons has more than doubled since early 2016, reaching about 200,000 in October 2016. This has resulted in a sharp deterioration in access to basic services which was already weak and in some cases non-existent. For example, 25 health centers are closed due to their destruction and / or occupation and 144 schools did not reopen at the start of the school year In the Far North, almost 45% of the population does not have access to drinking water and only 14% benefit from infrastructure that meets hygiene and sanitation criteria. Food insecurity remains alarming, with about 1.5 million people who are food insecure in the Far North, with 180,000 at the emergency level. Severe acute malnutrition has reached emergency thresholds in the department of Logone and Chari.
CERF funds from the Under Funded Emergency Grant will be used to meet the urgent needs of those affected in the Far North by the conflict related to the Lake Chad Basin crisis. The CERF strategy is to focus the response in the departments of Logone and Chari, which currently accounts for nearly 40% of the internally displaced persons of Cameroon. The response will also cover the border areas of the departments of Mayo Sava and the Mayo Tsanaga for a Protection response which has to extend beyond Logone and Chari, in particular as DTM should not be restricted to a single department. The main objective of the response is to save lives through priority interventions covering the sectors of Food Security, Water, Hygiene and Sanitation, Shelter and Property Non-Food, Protection, Health and Nutrition. The proposals made in this strategy aim to provide holistic assistance to targeted populations through joint projects with the same geographical focus and the same targeting.

The Boko Haram driven conflict in the Diffa region has aggravated the vulnerability of many people
who were already living on the edge of survival before the crisis broke out. Approximately 1.9 million people in Niger will need humanitarian assistance in
2017, including 1.5 million in the nutrition sector and 1.3 million in the food security sector.
A $10 million allocation will focus on the needs of 250,000 people related to food insecurity including agriculture, access to basic social services (education, health, WASH), protection and logistics. The response will target the most vulnerable people among those affected in order to save lives primarily in the regions of Diffa, Tillabery, Tahoua and Maradi.

The cyclone affected 112,513 families (550,691 people), of which 7,651 families are considered particularly vulnerable, and caused widespread damages to the province’s infrastructure and agriculture. Over 33,000 houses were destroyed while another 71,294 houses as well as 389 government offices, 70 health facilities and 2,000 classrooms suffered partial damage. Some 27,000 hectares of crops and over 135,000 fruit trees were lost. Access to potable water and sanitation facilities, basic healthcare services and education of children have been disrupted.
The provincial authorities with support from international and national humanitarian partners conducted a multi-sector rapid needs assessment from 20 to 23 February. The assessment identified priority needs of the affected communities which informed the following response planning: 1) immediate assistance to the most vulnerable with food, shelter and NFI support and emergency agricultural inputs; 2) restoration of basic services through establishment of temporary facilities for education and health care; and 3) reconstruction of classrooms and health units with resilience measures.
Based on preliminary findings, the Government estimated the total funding required to respond to and restore the damages caused by the cyclone at US$16.5 million, towards which it allocated $2.3 million from the National Contingency Plan. In response to the Government request, Mozambique Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) launched a flash appeal on 28 February seeking $10.2 million to complement the national response with activities in education, health, shelter/NFI (partially to address WASH needs), food security, protection and early recovery sectors targeting 150,000 people. Only $400,000 of the appeal has been funded as of 13 March.
This CERF allocation of $2 million will address the most critical priorities as agreed by the HCT in support of the flash appeal to will jump-start life-saving humanitarian assistance in health (including reproductive health/GBV), education, food security, shelter/NFI (including WASH) sectors in Inhambane province in the next three to six months.17-RR-MOZ-24650-NR01claudio.julaia@one.un.org#Claudio JulaiaEnglishdorjee2@un.org2017-06-30T00:00:002017-09-07T00:00:002017-12-31T00:00:002018-01-25T00:00:00Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI12857127102556711372196983107056637MostlyFood Security - AgricultureAgriculture027085270850476104761074695MostlyEducationEducation56350563558650586511500MostlyFood Security - Food AssistanceFood Security7193540812601748161691365026251MostlyHealthHealth11416176740190901118017103547221564412465Mostly2017-03-30T00:00:0052235917-RR-MDG-25219Madagascar RR Application Mar 2017 (cyclone)AfricaMadagascarEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRStormBiological (human disease outbreak and other health emergency)Natural Disaster20172017-03-31T00:00:002017-03-31T00:00:002017-04-18T00:00:002017-04-19T00:00:004999896.004999601Cyclone Enawo, a category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, struck the Sava region in northeastern Madagascar on 7 March. Widespread flooding was recorded throughout the eastern half of Madagascar in the wake of the storm.Following the evaluation missions organized under the auspices of the National Bureau of Risk and Disaster Management (BNGRC) with the HCT, it was estimated that some 434,000 people were affected, including a total of 247,219 displaced persons. The number of deaths is 81, with 18 people missing, and 253 others injured. This initial assessment revealed severe impact of the cyclone in Antalaha district and in the Maroantsetra district, both in the northeast region of the country.
For the next three months, the total humanitarian needs are estimated at $ 20.1 million. So far, only $691,000 were received. Under this application, the Madagascar HCT is requesting $4,999,896 to kick-start activities of five out of the ten sectors prioritized in the response. With the CERF allocation the HCT intends to cover the Shelter, WASH, Health, Food Security and Common Logistics needs for up to 150,000 beneficiaries living in Antalaha and Maroantsetra districts.17-RR-MDG-25219-NR02rakotoson@un.org#Rija RakotosonFrenchMirna Loiferman2017-07-25T00:00:002017-09-27T00:00:002018-01-18T00:00:002019-05-08T00:00:00Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI28823032591428113597640812322Food Security - Food AssistanceFood Security21023151463616922401131803558171750HealthHealth413803212073500430703343076500150000Common Services - LogisticsLogistics0000000Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene39978413838136156398483441047421861032017-04-12T00:00:0052536117-RR-SSD-25251South Sudan RR Application Apr 2017 (Famine Prevention and Rising Conflict)AfricaSouth SudanEastern AfricaEastern AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20172017-04-20T00:00:002017-04-20T00:00:002017-05-02T00:00:002017-05-10T00:00:0015520071.0015524589More than 3.6 million people have been displaced by conflict in South Sudan, including 1.9 million who are internally displaced and 1.7 million who have fled as refugees to neighbouring countries. New clashes since the beginning of 2017 have uprooted tens of thousands of civilians. Worst affected areas include Greater Equatoria (including Kajo-Keji, Lainya, Magwi, Torit and Yei, where some 144,000 people were displaced as of the end of February 2017), Unity (including Koch, Leer, Mayendit, Panyijar, 263,000 displaced), and in Upper Nile (including Fashoda, 66,000 displaced). At the time of writing, additional displacement is taking place due to a major offensive underway in Jonglei and recent clashes in and around Wau.
Additionally, food insecurity and malnutrition have reached unprecedented levels, with localised famine declared in Leer and Mayendit counties of Unity on 20 February. Insecurity and lack of access have left 100,000 people facing starvation, and a further 1 million others classified as being on the brink of famine. Country-wide, some 4.9 million people are now estimated to be severely food insecure, and this number is expected to rise to 5.5 million at the height of the lean season in July. Livelihoods have been decimated, with livestock looted, killed and disease prone and crops destroyed or planting delayed due to violence, displacement and unfavourable weather.
The CERF Rapid Response request, submitted 20 April 2017, is triggered by rapidly escalating food insecurity and malnutrition in South Sudan - including in locations where famine or elevated risk of famine has been declared - as well as urgent humanitarian needs in areas of new/active conflict. This application requests US$15.5 million from CERF - as a contribution to a total requirement of US$54 million - in order to reach an estimated 369,000 of the most severely-affected people in 10 highest-risk locations with an inter-cluster response. The contribution will save lives by in supporting the urgent scale-up of front line response, particularly through vital funding for procurement, transportation and distribution of emergency supplies, including inter-cluster rapid response survival kits. It will also enable programme delivery by facilitating the scale up of common services, including transportation of cargo and humanitarian personnel.

This was after a record high rainfall exacerbated by cyclone Dineo on 16 February 2017. The flooding crisis particularly affected 36 out of the 60 districts in the country, causing damage to local infrastructure, livelihoods, roads, and homes in 36 districts in the country. Overall, some 251 people were killed; 128 others injured and over 2,600 houses destroyed, leaving hundreds of people homeless and living in temporary camps as Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Some 388 schools were affected, with a likely impact on an estimated 67,000 enrolled in the affected areas. The Government further estimates that over 100,000 people are in need of access to safe drinking water as the floods have compromised the hygiene practices and water quality, especially in the congested IDP camp thereby increasing the risk of water and vector-borne diseases. The emergency needs have surpassed the resources in the normal agency programming and partners have had to redirect resources from the drought response to respond to the flood emergency. The request to the CERF rapid response window,, for approximately US 2 million, will therefore be used to address the critical life-saving needs in shelter, education, WASH and protection for approximately 55,000 people who were affected by the flooding.17-RR-ZWE-25764-NR01andrea.danti@one.un.org#Andrea DantiEnglishJulia Wittig2017-08-15T00:00:002017-10-10T00:00:002018-02-09T00:00:002018-02-05T00:00:00Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI29752060503536412280592110956Fullyvery credible, well explained beneficiary count.ProtectionProtection1609549971085984203682635233460Fullyvery credible, well explained beneficiary count.EducationEducation73550735576650766515020Fullyvery credible, well explained beneficiary count.Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene719915834230337775222473002253055Fullyvery credible, well explained beneficiary count.2017-05-09T00:00:0053036717-RR-SDN-25600Sudan RR Application May 2017 (South Sudanese refugees)AfricaRepublic of the SudanNorthern AfricaNorthern AfricaRRDisplacementConflict-relatedMan-made20172017-05-04T00:00:002017-05-15T00:00:002017-06-02T00:00:002017-06-07T00:00:0010479979.0010469531Outflow of South Sudanese refugees into neighbouring countries, triggered by the breakout of violence in December 2013 and aggravated as the conflict spread and food security deteriorated, has continued into 2017 and new arrivals in Sudan reached over 108,000 as of 30 April. This unanticipated rate of new arrivals far exceeds the trends of previous years as well as the earlier planning figure of 60,000 new arrivals for the whole of 2017, and has overwhelmed the response capacity of Sudanese government and humanitarian partners that are also supporting nearly 300,000 South Sudanese refugees already staying in the country.
This CERF grant of US$10.5 million will target 60,000 newly arrived South Sudanese refugees in key locations of South Kordofan and White Nile states with urgent WASH, health, nutrition, food, and shelter/NFI assistance over a six month period. This will involve establishing critically-needed basic services in South Kordofan including a reception centre, and expanding life-saving basic service provision in White Nile including through the expansion of two existing refugee hosting sites.
The CERF-funded response will be closely aligned with the overall strategy of the Regional Refugee Response Plan (RRRP), which was revised in April 2017 and now targets some 477,000 individuals including an additional 120,000 new arrivals projected by the end of 2017. CERF will contribute to the projected $40 million funding requirement for this new caseload, which brought up the overall financial requirement for the 2017 South Sudan refugee response in Sudan to $205.5 million. The total RRRP requirement is currently less than 10 per cent funded.

This includes 10.3 million people in acute need who urgently require immediate, lifesaving assistance in at least one sector in 2017. The conflict has intensified since March 2017, especially on the western coast of Yemen, furthering worsening humanitarian conditions. The March 2017 Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report indicated an increase in the total number of food insecure people in Yemen to 17 million. Among these, some 10.2 million people are in IPC Phase 3 “crisis” and 6.8 million people are in IPC Phase 4 “emergency”. Additionally, a cholera outbreak is spreading in Yemen requiring further scale up of essential medical services to respond.
Following consultation with the Emergency Relief Coordinator and CERF secretariat in late April, the RC/HC for Yemen submitted a CERF rapid response request on 12 May for $25 million to expand urgent food, health and nutrition activities, as well as bolster common services in logistics and security. The CERF funds will enable partners to reach 1.4 million people with food aid, severe and moderate malnutrition assistance in 59 priority districts recording the highest food insecurity and malnutrition indicators. The CERF-funded intervention will also aim to mitigate excess mortality and morbidity through the health minimum service package and nutrition surveillance in 3 prioritized districts of Sa’ada, Al Hodydah and Hajjah governorates. The direct assistance will be provided over a two to four-month period while the common logistics and security services will be implemented for six months.

The disaster affected about 80,000 persons across the five districts and killed 160 persons, including 115 persons in Rangamati District alone. According to the Chittagong Divisional Health Office Control Room Report, a total of 187 injured persons were admitted in local level hospitals. Based on a multi-sector needs assessment and with the support of the national authorities, the HCT developed a Humanitarian Response Plan valued US$10 million in order to complement the assistance provided by the Government of Bangladesh (GoB).
One of the three strategic objectives of the HRP is the provision of immediate life-saving assistance. Following a thorough consultation and prioritization process, the UNCT presented a CERF RR application aiming to provide life-saving assistance to 37,737 persons living in the most severely impacted district of Rangamati in the Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) and, specifically in three of its ten sub-districts. These persons lost everything to the landslides and are currently living in life-threatening situations, especially women and girls. This application would allow the most affected and most vulnerable persons to benefit from emergency shelter, WASH and protection assistance. It will help them to survive the impact of the landslides and, the on-going monsoon season. This application is for US$1 million.17-RR-BGD-26523-NR02loiferman@un.org#Mirna LoifermanEnglishKristine Hansen2018-01-11T00:00:002018-03-12T00:00:002018-04-13T00:00:002019-04-08T00:00:00HealthHealth00010584196563024030240FullyIncreased number of beneficiaries reached versus number targeted in view of unexpected significant influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Cox Bazar, adding to agencies' targeted case load under the CERF-funded projects.Water, Sanitation and HygieneWater Sanitation Hygiene786710220180876889112411813036217FullyIncreased number of beneficiaries reached versus number targeted in view of unexpected significant influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Cox Bazar, adding to agencies' targeted case load under the CERF-funded projects.Shelter and Non-Food ItemsEmergency Shelter and NFI62769602158789568110252059336471FullyIncreased number of beneficiaries reached versus number targeted in view of unexpected significant influx of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar into Cox Bazar, adding to agencies' targeted case load under the CERF-funded projects.2017-07-13T00:00:00
