Appui en santé et nutrition pour les populations vulnérables dans le territoire de Masisi, Nord-Kivu Le projet est basé sur une approche intégrée en santé et nutrition, à destination des 84 817 personnes vivant dans 8 aires de santé (Buabo, Sati, Loashi, Kitsule, Kaniro et 3 AS en stratégie mobile) de la zone de santé de Masisi, située au sein du territoire éponyme et répond à des besoins humanitaires forts. Le territoire de Masisi, et plus généralement le Nord Kivu, est touché par une insécurité grandissante liée aux combats entre groupes armés et forces gouvernementales. Pour répondre aux problématiques de santé et de nutrition consécutives à ces difficultés, Première Urgence Internationale (PUI) propose de contribuer à la réduction de la sur-morbidité et de la surmortalité des populations les plus affectées, au sein des populations hôtes et déplacées. PUI apportera un soutien en SSP à 7 AS, Buabo, Sati, Kitsule, Kaniro et 3 autres au travers d'une stratégie mobile avancée pour 71 857 bénéficiaires et un appui en nutrition dans 5 AS (Loashi, Sati, Kitsule, Kaniro et Buabo) pour 12 881 bénéficiaires. En effet, dans l’AS Loashi, PUI apportera seulement un soutien en nutrition car le CICR assure déjà un appui en SSP. Côté activités, en santé, PUI assurera un accès gratuit et de qualité aux soins de santé primaire, aux soins de SSR, et renforcera les capacités de lutte contre les épidémies au profit de 71 857 personnes. Cela passera notamment par le renforcement des capacités techniques des acteurs locaux, la fourniture de médicaments et matériels essentiels, la prise en charge des consultations de SSP et SSR, par des activités de sensibilisation sur la santé et par la mise en place d'une stratégie mobile avancée. Concernant la nutrition, ce projet visera 12 881 personnes et contribuera à améliorer l’état nutritionnel des enfants de moins de 5 ans MAS et MAM, ainsi que des FEFA MAM et à former les acteurs communautaires à la prévention de la malnutrition. Pour cela, PUI assurera le dépistage et la prise en charge des cas, fournira des intrants nutritionnels et assurera les formations des RECOs et Maman Leaders. Dans le cadre de ses activités, PUI participera activement au cluster Nutrition afin d’assurer que ses actions se coordonnent avec l’ensemble de l’aide humanitaire présente dans la zone.
D’après le CORAH, la zone voit la persistance de gaps en santé et en nutrition notamment à Katale, Kalinga et Bukombo. Le Cluster régional Nutrition et ses partenaires devraient lancer une évaluation début aout sur la zone afin d’identifier les structures non prises en charge par les acteurs humanitaires.
Comme la zone est actuellement sous une forte pression de déplacements de population (au 3 juillet 2021, 11 887 ménages de 59 435 pers.) liés aux conflits armés, les acteurs d’urgence redoublent d’efforts sur les secteurs SECAL, NFI, WASH et Abris. Le projet s’inscrit ainsi dans une logique de complémentarité avec ces acteurs, qu’ils soient en réponse d’urgence immédiate ou dans la mise en place de projets de plus long terme. En outre, MSF-B soutient l’hôpital de Masisi vers lequel PUI pourra référer ses cas de MAS avec complication ainsi que les SVS pour un soutien psychologique et/ou juridique, selon leur souhait et besoins exprimés. Johanniter, quant à eux, interviennent en SSP et le CICR en SSP et SSR (y compris prise en charge des SVS). PUI s’assurera de ne pas intervenir dans les zones que ces acteurs couvrent déjà et assurera une coordination forte avec eux.
Des mécanismes de gestion des plaintes seront développés tout au long du projet. La question du genre sera abordée de manière transversale dans la prise en charge des patients. PUI apportera le soutien nécessaire aux personnes en situation de handicap et âgées en facilitant leur accès aux services de soins. Un accent particulier sera mis sur le respect des mesures environnementales. PUI veillera à sensibiliser les populations et les structures soutenues de sorte à ce que les effets bénéfiques des activités et les leçons apprises perdurent à l’issue du projet

Amélioration de l'accès à l'eau, à l'hygiène et à l'assainissement en faveur 18100 personnes parmi lesquelles 7240 déplacés, 4524 retournés et 6336 membres des familles d’accueil dans la Zone de santé de Pinga en territoire de Walikale Depuis plus d'une decenie, le territoire de Walikale connais un cycle de violence lié aux affrontements entre miliciens locaux et ou etrangers d'une part et entre les forces loyalistes et milices d'autre part. Au jour d’aujourd’hui, la menace contre la population est permanente malgré les diverses opérations de traque lancée par le gouvernement de la RDC contre cette milice poussant hommes, femmes, filles et garçons à abandonner leurs villages pour s’installer dans les milieux plus au moins sécurisés tel que M'peti, N'Kassa et Mutongo. Ces agglomérations d’accueil enregistrent une concentration des populations. Cette présence massive dans les milieux supposés sécurisés a accru le besoin en service essentiel de base mais aussi a eu des implications sur la destruction des certaines infrastructures existantes. Pour répondre à des difficultés dans le domaine spécifique de l’eau, l’hygiène et l’assainissement, HYFRO propose un projet afin de contribuer à la réduction de la morbidité et de la mortalité dues aux maladies d’origine hydrique en faveur de 18100 personnes dont 4440 hommes, 4615 femmes, 4465 garçons et 4580 filles parmi lesquelles on compte 7240 déplacées, 6336 membres des familles d’accueil, 4524 retournés vivant spécifiquement dans les aires de santé de M'peti, N'Kassa et Mutongo. Les actions de ce projet seront centrées sur l’accès à l’eau en quantité et en qualité suffisante, l’accès aux infrastructures d’assainissement dans les ménages et au centre de santé, l’amélioration des connaissances, pratiques et attitudes des bénéficiaires par rapport à la prévention des maladies d’origine hydrique et des mains sales. Pour répondre aux besoins de la communauté, 3 adductions gravitaires seront réalisées pour desservir au moins 18100 personnes, 100 portes de latrines dans le ménages pour desservir 600 personnes, 13 comités de gestions des points d'eau potable et 21 comités d'assainissement dans les villages seront constitués. Pour ce qui concerne les formations et renforcement des capacités, 91 membres des comités de gestion des points d'eau seront formés sur leurs rôles et responsabilités, le sain cycle de l'eau, la manipulation des outils de gestion, l'entretien ainsi la maintenance des ouvrages. En outre, 147 membres des comités d'assainissement dans les villages seront formés sur leurs rôles et responsabilités, la gestion des déchets, le suivi de l'assainissement et la bonne disposition des périls fécales. Aussi, 151 relais communautaires et 42 leaders locaux seront formés sur leurs rôles et responsabilités et le cinq messages clé de l'EHA. Pour inciter le changement comportemental en matière des connaissances, attitudes et pratiques, des séances de sensibilisation de masse seront aussi organisées et tenues. Pour évaluer et s'assurer de la bonne exécution des activités, 2 enquêtes CAP seront menées et 3 missions d’évaluations seront effectuées. En rapport avec la redevabilité, un canal de collection et de transmission des doléances et plaintes des bénéficiaires sera discuté et mise en place pour donner les avis des bénéficiaires vis à vis de la qualité de réalisation des activités du projet et du comportement des staffs sur terrain. Pour le traitement des plaintes, 105 membres du comités seront formés. Le coût total du projet est 349993,79$US. La présente proposition d’intervention repose sur l’analyse des besoins basée sur la connaissance de la zone et répond à une problématique manifeste.

Irrigation: Smallholder Irrigation Support Programme The development goal of the programme is to increase the incomes and food security of
smallholder irrigating households and households in neighbouring communities on a sustainable basis.
This will be dependent on the achievement of outputs at both sectoral and scheme levels. At the sectoral level, the programme will aim to enhance the institutional and regulatory framework for smallholder irrigation; while, at the scheme level, it will look to ensure that farmers are themselves able to manage, operate and maintain fully operational and productive irrigation schemes. As a subsectoral programme with a seven-year implementation period, SISP will assist the Government from the short-, mediumand long-term perspective. Short-term requirements will be served by, and immediate benefits
derived from, investments at the individual scheme and institutional levels. In the medium term, the
programme¿s links with the ASIP will be expected to further improve the policy and legal framework
for smallholder irrigation and the institutional capacity to efficiently serve the subsector. Over the
long term, the programme will assist the Government in developing suitable methodologies and
public/private sector partnerships for coordinated, catchment-based planning for expanded command
area development.

R2G ACF Uganda ACF Right to Grow Uganda. Over the past decades great advances have been made in reducing all forms of undernutrition in children under five (CU5). Nevertheless, almost 200 million CU5 suffer from stunting (low height/age), wasting (low weight/height), or both, and over 340 million from vitamin and mineral deficiencies. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is putting even more CU5s at risk. The world is off-track to meet most of the SDG targets related to hunger, food security, nutrition and access to WASH, a critical precondition for good nutritional status. Right2Grow will focus on amplifying the voices of communities, their organisations and local civil society in those places and on those topics that matter Most vulnerable children (under five) affected by undernutrition Right2Grow envisions a world where all children under five (CU5) are well-nourished (long-term impact), so that every child is able to reach theirfull potential (ultimate goal). Undernutrition will be addressed multi-sectorally to address each of the underlying determinants of malnutrition, which include: WASH, agriculture, care practices, health, education, social protection, gender norms and household dynamics, and other socioeconomic factors.

Diocesan-level action for sustainable land use and livelihoods, integrated with disaster preparednes For nearly four decades the Social Action Centre (SAC) of Pagadian Diocese has been working through its network of parishes, basic ecclesial communities and other faith-based groups to address poverty and marginalisation. Due to its geographical location the Philippines is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and their resultant effects such as tsunami, landslides, lava-flows, floods and flash-floods. The island of Mindanao has also been identified as particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and El Niño-induced drought, and its vulnerability has been exacerbated by ecological degradation due to extensive deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict born of a decade old secessionist movement and communist-led insurgency. Since 2007, CAFOD livelihoods partners in Mindanao have been reporting that their agricultural programmes are being impacted by changing weather patterns, and that crops are failing due to extended drought, flooding and pest infestations. Since 2009, therefore, CAFOD has been supporting a programme with SAC and other local partners to strengthen their work on livelihoods through encouraging communities to carry out participatory disaster risk assessments and develop action plans, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources; they also mobilise the communities to engage with local government to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR), an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters, into its 10-year land use plans.

Immediate response to Typhoon Washi in Mindanao, December 2011 Typhoon Washi hit the Mindanao region of the Philippines on 16th December. Flash floods caused by the storm have left a trail of devastation in the cities of Iligan and Cagayan de Oro and in villages along the coast. Rivers burst their banks after more than 12 hours of continuous rain. Entire villages have been swept away into the sea.
The official figure by the national authorities as of the end December 2011 was 1257 dead, over 1,500 injured and almost 285,000 being served inside and outside 62 evacuation centres (source: relief-web; National Risk Reduction and Management Council). 80% of the served people are outside of the evacuation centres. OCHA talks about nearly 340,000 affected across Northern Mindanao. Numbers are expected to raise in the coming days as more rural areas are reached.
CAFOD's Philippines Accompanier, Rockrock, together with our partner ECOWEB (based in the area and best placed to respond) conducted an assessment into rural affected areas. In some places they were the first outsiders to arrive. The most immediate needs are short term food supplies, NFIs and shelter - construction material/tools to provide temporary shelters, repair of houses and removal of debris. In a longer term farming seeds and tools will be necessary to replace livelihood losses.
Ecoweb's proposal includes first phase emergency food ration for 3 days, NFIs and tools for WFP food for work in communities where Ecoweb works (clearing landslides from roads). Ecoweb will distribute 450 shelter kits consisting of 12 GI sheet, 8 plywood sheets and essential tools in rural areas and in the peri-urban area of Iligan City Ecoweb will build 50 temporary shelters in the workst affected neighbourhoods (Santiago, Hinaplanon,Upper Hinaplanon). The temporary shelters are to be built using timber washed out of the mountains by the storm and confiscated by Iligan City hall municipality; these will be sawn into appropirate shapes and sizes using a rented band saw. Additional work in rural areas will focus on repairing 4 gravity fed water systems, and, to assist the agricultural recovery of rural communities, the distribution of 200 seeds and tools kits (100 with ploughs and 100 without).

Restoration and diversification of livelihood opportunities post Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines. This project represents one component of CAFOD's 2nd phase Philippines Typhoon DEC funding. This project builds upon the short-term agriculture assistance provided during Phase 1 (PHI370). This new 18 month project will expand the target groups beyond farmers, and address vulnerable landless labourers and fisher folk.
An estimated 16 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan, with more than 90% of these in regions VI (Western Visayas), VII (Central Visayas), and VIII (Eastern Visayas). Livelihoods have been severely affected in a region heavily reliant on coconut farming and fishing opportunities. The Typhoon resulted in the loss of an estimated 3 million trees in Region VIII (affecting 285,548 farmers) and destroyed over 18,000 fishing boats.
To date, approximately 4.6 million people have received food assistance from a range of sources. However, as food assistance scales down there is an increasing gap in immediate support to livelihoods, and the development of medium and long term strategies.
This project will be implemented by CRS, across 7 municipalities. It will target 3 main groups:
-Unskilled laborers and off-farm workers.
-Small scale coconut farmers:
-Fisher folk.
Through this project:
-720HH (3600 individuals) vulnerable individuals representing landless households will be targeted for livelihoods support, including small business and skills training and seedling production. .
-1980HH (9900 individuals) small coconut farmers will benefit from diversification of crops, improved soil conditions and increased labour opportunities.
-540 HH (2700 individuals) households will be assisted through diversification of income related to aquaculture; including support to improve existing productive capacity and promotion of aquaculture as an alternative to coconut and conventional fishing.

Emergency WASH assistance to Cyclone Haiyan affected communities DFID RRF Consortium of Plan International, Oxfam and CAFOD (with CRS as Implementing Partner). Lead Agency: Plan International. Total agreed income for Consortium: £2 million.
Typhoon Haiyan (local name “Yolanda”) made landfall early on Friday morning, November 8, on the southern tip of the Eastern Visayas island of Samar. As a Category 5 super typhoon with 313 kph (195 mph) winds, it is the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall. More than 5000 were killed and current OCHA figures report that 15million have been affected, 4 million displaced and 1.2 million houses destroyed.
The overall aim of the consortium response is to ensure that 21,000 cyclone affected families have access to clean water, sanitation facilities, and hygiene promotion materials. CAFOD, through CRS, will distribute 10,000 hygiene kits, 10,000 water kits, construct 700 latrines and install 38 water tanks in Leyte Province. The project activities and funding has been divided equally amongst the three agencies with CAFOD receiving a total of £651,954. Oxfam agreed to lead on procurement, sourcing and delivering hygiene and water kits to Plan and CRS.

Emergency assistance to vulnerable households affected by Typhoon Haiyan Typhoon Haiyan (local name “Yolanda”) made landfall early on Friday morning, November 8, on the southern tip of the Eastern Visayas island of Samar. As a Category 5 super typhoon with 313 kph (195 mph) winds, it is the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall. As of November 17, there are more than 12.9 million people affected by the Typhoon across 574 municipalities/cities with 3,976 reported casualties and 1,598 still missing (NDRRMC UP Sitrep No. 26 and OCHA Sitrep No. 9). Although this number is expected to climb. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) is currently reporting an estimated total of nearly 4 million people currently displaced, with 353,862 inside 1,550 evacuation centers.
To date, a NASSA surge team, together with International Caritas Humanitarian Team composed of technical staff from Caritas Internationalis, Caritas Germany, Trocaire and CORDAID, conducted rapid assessments in Tacloban, Ormoc, Palo, Biliran, Cebu, Capiz and Aklan.
Caritas Philippines National Secretariat for Social Action (NASSA) is actively engaged in responding to this emergency.Together with Caritas Manila, Quiapo Church DRR Ministry and Diocesan Social Actions Centers (DSACs) in 13 dioceses, NASSA has been coordinating blanket distributions of food and water to the affected populations since November 8.
NASSA proposes to provide immediate food relief, non-food items (NFI’s), hygiene support, shelter services and an initial food recovery program to 55,000 of the most vulnerable households (275,000 beneficiaries) in the provinces of Palawan, Leyte, Eastern Samar, Antique, Capiz, Ilo-ilo and Kalibo.
A CI EA has been launched and CAFOD is contributing £250,000 to support these immediate relief activities. £150,000 has been transferred in advance.

Supporting indigenous peoples to protect and develop their rights, lands and resources Philippines Indigenous Peoples Links, known as PIPLinks for short, is a UK-based organisation started in response to requests for support from indigenous people’s groups in the Cordillera region of the Philippines, to help them deal more effectively with threats to their ancestral lands and way of life from mining companies. The government is very keen to promote international investment in mining projects, yet the mechanisms in place in the Philippines to hold the companies to proper standards of transparency and accountability, and to monitor compliance, are quite weak. PIPLinks stands for the rights of the local communities to decide and control, and share fairly in the benefit from, how their land and natural resources are used. It works hard to ensure that their voices are heard in international debates, and has been a key partner in CAFOD’s Unearth Justice campaign. Most recently (2008-11) CAFOD has been supporting a project focusing primarily, though not exclusively, on communities living in three selected areas of the Philippines (Canatuan and Macambol in Mindanao, and Sablayan in Mindoro) and the respective mining companies wanting to work in those areas (TVI, BHP Biliton and Intex). CAFOD is also supporting PIPLinks to broaden the scope of its work to influence policy debates in other South East Asian countries.

Sustainable management of natural resources through empowerment of indigenous and rural communities The Legal Rights and Natural Resources Center-Kasama sa Kalikasan (LRC-KsK ), the official member of Friends of the Earth International for the Philippines, provides legal expertise and support to poor and vulnerable people whose livelihood resources (especially land rights) are under threat – particularly to indigenous people, and communities in upland rural areas. LRC-KsK seeks to defend the communities’ rights to land and natural resources, while at the same time encouraging good practice in natural resource management, and local community initiatives for development which are ecologically sustainable, culturally appropriate and economically viable. Forestry, mining and energy issues are all taken into consideration. Central to the activities of LRC-KsK is to monitor, and be ready to critique, policies and laws affecting indigenous peoples and natural resources. Paralegal trainings are conducted with partner communities, and cases filed in the courts as deemed fit by the communities in the context of their own campaigns and struggles. With the assistance of legal policy experts, LRC-KsK develops policy alternatives informed by indigenous communities. LRC-KsK also engages the media, and facilitates networking with local, national and international organisations which can be linked in to add support to local campaigns.

Emergency Response for the Survivors of Typhoon Haiyan (Caritas Switzerland) Super Typhoon Haiyan (locally known as “Yolanda”) made landfall early on Friday morning, November
8. As a category 5 super typhoon with 313 km/h winds, it is the strongest tropical cyclone on record to make landfall. It is estimated by the UN-Agencies and the Philippine Government that the Typhoon Haiyan affected more than 14
million people and left 4 million persons displaced across 41 provinces. According to the National Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), the current death toll stands at 5’560, with
another 1’757 people still missing (as of November 29, 2013).
This project will provide food, emergency shelters, non-food-items and hygiene articles in the two municipalities of Madridejos and Santa Fe on Bantayan Island. In total 9’000 beneficiary families (approx. 45’000 people) will be supported. The project will be implemented in the Philippines, Central Visayas Region, in the two municipalities
Madridejos and Santa Fe (Cebu Province) on Bantayan Island.

EA29/2020 Emergency Response Super Typhoon Goni, November 2020 Super Typhoon Goni made its first landfall in Bato, Catanduanes 1st of November, 2020. According to the accounts of the residents in the ground zero, typhoon Goni was the strongest they have been experienced in the past 26 years.
Food remains to be the priority need of the typhoon-savaged island. According to Governor Joseph Cua, they have initially requested from the national government at least 500,000 food packs for the affected population on November 5, 2020.
According to initial reports from municipal disaster risk reduction and management offices, at least 80% of the shelters have been damaged.
Agriculture also suffered a major blow, with the abaca industry severely devastated. The Philippine Fiber Industry Development Authority reported in November 6, 2020 that of the 36,000 hectares of abaca plantation, only 9,000 hectares were spared. Of this number, only 25% have a chance of recovery.
The overall goal of this response is to meet the essential emergency needs of affected communities: shelter, livelihoods and enhanced emergency preparedness capacity of 1,780 households (9,750 individuals) in the provinces of Catanduanes and Albay.

Emergency and Early Recovery Assistance to Communities Affected by Typhoon Odette/Rai in 11 Dioceses Typhoon Rai affected 38 provinces in the Philippines. Most of the affected communities are located in mountainous and coastal areas, thus the enormous damages to houses (made of light materials) and livelihoods (agriculture and fishing). According to the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Situationer Report on January 1, 2022, more than 500 thousand houses were destroyed, and damages to livelihoods amount to 7 billion pesos and more data are still unaccounted.
In reference to the above context, Caritas Philippines decided to focus more on the early recovery (shelter, livelihoods and capacity building) to continue the phase of humanitarian response as recommended in the Needs Assessment Report.
The overall goal is to meet the essential emergency needs: shelter, livelihoods and enhanced emergency preparedness capacity of 10,984 households (56,790 individuals), affected by Super Typhoon Rai (local name: Odette) in the provinces of Surigao, Southern Leyte, Bohol, Cebu, Negros Oriental and Occidental and Palawan, Philippines

Emergency Response to Bohol earthquake The province of Bohol in the central Visayas in the Philippines have been affected by the magnitude 7.2 earthquake on 15 .October.2013. This earthquake also affected part of Cebu and was fell in neighboring island provinces in the Visayas. The province in Bohol now under State of calamity and badly in need of organized and the intervention for humanitarian response.
According to the situation report from OCHA have presented that 149 have been killed, 188 are injured and 21 person are still missing. Up to now there are 3.5 million people have been affected and which 158,466 people have been displaced to inside and outside evacuation centers.
NASSA and CRS are on the ground and coordinating with local government units (LGUs), other humanitarian actors, Church (Diocese and SAC). They are going to request CI for an appeal. CAFOD has always been in touch with NASSA and CRS on every emergency in the Philippines and we are aware of their capability and limitations. We are also in touch with CRS in the region on HCD and on actual response. CAFOD's program accompanier is there providing support in further assessments and participating in discussions among various stakeholders as CAFOD staff. He is focusing detailed assessment on verification of target beneficiaries, accuracy of intervention strategy, and figuring out how best to deliver emergency assistance given the logistical limitations. So CAFOD will deploy the technical consultant to provide the technical support for over partner and CAFOD 's PA in the ground doing emergency response.

Restoration and Diversification of Livelihoods in Leyte and Eastern Samar - DEC Phase 2B Following the impact of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines this project, one component of CAFOD's DEC Phase 2B response, aims to improve the resilience to future shocks of rural communities in Eastern Samar and Leyte provinces, where it brought the highest amount of damage and loss of life.
Typhoon Haiyan severely disrupted longer term livelihood activities, particularly for coconut farmers who are still struggling to recover and remain vulnerable to frequent shocks. The livelihoods project has made significant progress with farmers engaging in new and diversified crops through training and inputs that served as a gateway (or entry-point) for future food security activities. There is now a need for responders and other stakeholders to consider longer term strategies to ensure that communities become more resilient to future shocks, contributing to the long term goal where typhoon-affected households in Leyte and Eastern Samar exceed pre-Yolanda/Haiyan livelihood quality.
CAFOD’s partner Catholic Relief Services (CRS) aims to support farmers in their next phase of recovery by using an agro-enterprise model to link farmers to markets. Various strategies such as demonstration plots, innovations such as artificial insemination, feeding guidelines and drinkers for swine will be used to support farmers to increase their productivity and build upon the trainings provided during the first two phases. The project will continue working with vulnerable females and males, as identified in the registration process.

Promoting gender equality with church partners in the Philippines This project will be implemented by Philippines partner Sabakan and forms part of a multi-country gender programme with partners from Zambia, Zimbabwe, Kenya and Philippines. The Philippines partner Sabakan will engage with the national gender related network initiated by the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Sabakan have strong existing experience of mobilising and strengthening church mechanisms on gender and family violence prevention. This will be captured in reflection workshops and shared within the network of partners engaged in the overall programme. Initial research and documentation will be undertaken with Sabakan to identify learning, effective strategies and recommendations which will be shared with the other participating partners and within CAFOD to inform the ongoing programme. Sabakan’s experience of working with the church on gender is unique and has gone through various phases. Initially formed within church structures it began to operate more independently when funded by CAFOD and Cordaid. This allowed for a stronger focus on advocacy resulting at times in a more challenging relationship to the church. Following reduced funding Sabakan had to re-integrate itself back into the church structures which led to changes in their advocacy approach, but a stronger support from clergy for their gender work due to the church’s sense of ownership. Further useful tools to be shared with the African partners is the gender training modules Sabakan has developed for clergy as well as the strategy of establishing men’s support groups in their awareness raising work on gender based violence in the parishes.

Interfaith Movement for Peace Empowerment and Development, Inc. (IMPEDE) IMPEDE is an ecumenical organisation, focused on advocacy & campaigning to conserve the rich biodiversity of Mt. Hamiguitan Range and Pujada Bay in Davao Oriental, southeastern Mindanao.
In 1992, IMPEDE, took the decision to focus their advocacy work on environmental issues, primarily forest protection and coastal resource management. In 2004 Impede joined MMSAID and LRC to campaign against mining. In 2008 IMPEDE, through LRC, became the primary partner at community level of CAFOD’s Unearth Justice Campaign. Large mining companies with stakes in these areas have currently suspended major operations.
The 2010-11 Project hopes to sustain the gains in the 2009-10 project aims and to prevent resumption of mining by creating alliances with local stakeholders and leveraging growing realisation that the mining industry does not deliver a stable future. IMPEDE will employ a four-pronged strategy to achieve this, namely:
a) strengthening the Macambol Multi-sectoral Association for Integral Development (MMSAID) to lead the struggle to oppose extractive industries within the critical ecosystems in the 3 protected areas;
b) to build a strong support coming from neighbouring communities that also reside in the MHR and Pujada Bay and from non-government organizations, academe, individual environment advocates from the province and outside;
c) to participate in biodiversity conservation in the coastal and terrestrial ecosystems; and
d) to empower communities to improve their livelihoods and increase their food security

Transforming Surge Capacity from national NGO perspectives This inter-agency research project will focus on a small number of national NGOs in the Philippines which lost staff to international NGOs and UN agencies in the immediate aftermath of Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013. The project will research national NGO experiences of recruitment for surge by international NGOs and attempt to identify good practices as well as document impact, and develop recommendations and an action plan for taking the findings forward within TSCP, feeding into the evolving Philippines surge roster, and more widely in the humanitarian sector.
Originally inspired by the Charter4Change Commitment 4 (which all the 4 participant agencies have signed) which states that signatories will ‘ identify and implement fair compensation for local organisations for the loss of skilled staff if and when we contract a local organisation’s staff involved in humanitarian action within 6 months of the start of a humanitarian crisis’, this project has now evolved to recognise that a broader and more inclusive approach would facilitate greater buy-in from TSCP members and potential impact in terms of adoption of the research findings and recommendations.

Research on South East Asia indigenous people programme South East Asia well represents the global problems of rapid, and uneven development, often at the expense of the increasingly marginalised. Rapid economic growth in the last three decades has seen an increase in multinational companies taking advantage of increasingly liberal flow of finances, goods and services, very often with a focus on providing raw materials for Chinese unparalleled industrialisation. This has exerted pressure on natural resources, particularly land and other land-based resources, and on the communities that depend on them for their subsistence. The majority of states in Asia fail to adequately recognise indigenous rights to land and culture; therefore regional growth is far too often founded on land grabbing and abuse of the marginalised. The lack of protection for land-rights has resulted in inconsistent poverty reduction rates and growing inequality, often perpetuated by poor governance.
Indigenous peoples are globally marginal to the dominant economic and political system. Even in some highly developed states including Australia, New Zealand, USA and Canada there are indigenous populations living in high levels of disadvantage and marginalisation. Although they make up roughly 5% of the global population, they account for about 15% of the poor. South East Asia is estimated to be home to up 20% of the world’s 370 million indigenous peoples. Indigenous peoples in the region are among the poorest in terms of income and access to justice, made worse by insecurity over land tenure, food security, and the gradual erosion of their traditional cultures. Dealing with this situation will require a focus on sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction, along with strategies to address multiple sources of disadvantage to reach those indigenous communities. However, this needs to be done in culturally sensitive manners, with the full engagement of those indigenous peoples in order to be fully empowering. In the South East Asian context indigenous peoples are estimated to make up as much as 30% of the populations in Lao PDR and Myanmar, about 20% in Indonesia, 10-15% in the Philippines, and as low as 1.3% in Cambodia. Their estimated numbers range from a high of 50 to 70 million in Indonesia, 12 to 15 million in the Philippines, to about 179,000 in Cambodia. Part of the problem in identifying the numbers of indigenous peoples in South-East Asia, is that there are on-going conceptual debates concerning the term ‘indigenous peoples’. As noted previously States in the region, despite supporting the Declaration, frequently deny that there are indigenous peoples within their borders , and often refer to them as ethnic minorities, or use terms such as “hill tribes”, “cultural minorities” or “isolated and alien peoples”. However, many of these groups self-identify as indigenous, and that recognition of the indigenous right to determine their own membership is crucial to the definition of who indigenous peoples are. Within the region the application of indigenous rights has been mixed. The Philippines is undeniably the most advanced country in terms of the legal framework governing indigenous peoples, including a 1997 law with the provision for FPIC, although the implementation is frequently lacking. Then there are countries such as Indonesia and Cambodia, which have a history of conflict, but where recent changes in the law show promise in terms of the protection of indigenous rights. The situation in Indonesia looks particularly promising at the moment, with regard to a drafting a law on indigenous peoples (masyarakat hukum adat). Finally there are countries such as Laos and Myanmar, which despite showing some minor improvements in creating regulatory and institutional mechanisms, have a long way to go in terms of providing a rights-based legislative framework. Therefore the opportunities within any country are mixed, and any programme will have to be able to prioritise and take advantage of opportunities as they arise. PIPLinks, working with CAFOD and CAFOD partners, will complete research, alongside developing plans for a regional partner meeting, to review a plan for potential regional work which is based on community support/capacity building and advocacy on defence and promotion of the rights of indigenous peoples in South East Asia. Because of its research and advocacy nature this is difficult to quantify, but the primary work in the initial proposal this is working towards was looking to benefit up to 10,000 indigenous men, women and children, but with secondary benefits to a larger number of indigenous peoples affected by the land rights issues, which can be estimated at least 20% of indigenous populations in South East Asia (approximately 12 million in Indonesia, 2 million in the Philippines, 1 million in Myanmar to about 40,000 in Cambodia

Recovery Assistance to Vulnerable Communities Affected by Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines - Year 2 This one-year project aims to support the remaining Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) recovery needs in the Philippines.
In 2013 the super-typhoon caused devastation across the Philippines. One year on as the Typhoon Haiyan response moves from the recovery and rehabilitation phase to prevention and preparedness for future crises, it is widely acknowledged, by the international NGO community and other stakeholders, that stronger and locally-owned disaster response mechanisms and preparedness systems are needed.
NASSA/Caritas Philippines’ multi-sectoral programme aims to support the remaining recovery needs, with an intended focus on developing DRR and preparedness structures at community level. All these with an end goal of building and sustaining resiliency through various recovery and rehabilitation interventions in shelter, WASH, livelihoods, ecosystem services and capacity strengthening.
NASSA/Caritas Philippines will continue maximizing fostered partnerships with national and local civil society organizations. They will also work closely with INGO consortium at a national level to enhance its humanitarian surge capacity to a maximum level through its diocesan social action network across the country, thus further enhancing and complementing the institutional strengthening mechanisms with the existing program of EPRT (Emergency Preparedness and Response Teams) in several diocesan social action centres.

Local Capacity Building for Livelihoods Resiliency The project aims to hasten the recovery while reducing the vulnerability of the Haiyan-affected communities by enhancing the capacity of community-based and the local structures of agri-fisheries organizations to develop and manage sustainable and resilient livelihoods and to partner with and access resources from the government and other agencies. This shall also provide some interventions to improve the capacity of local government units in building resiliency of their respective localities and in supporting initiatives of communities for building back better their communities damaged by the disaster.
The project is comprised of 3 major components: 1) Local capacity building and accessing resources from the government; 2) Building resilient livelihoods; and 3) Building resiliency of communities.
The project will work at 3 foci of change that are key for building sustainable livelihoods and resiliency of communities: 1) Community-based Organizations (CBOs) to include livelihoods groups, industry associations and people’s organizations; 2) coordinating structures or the Agri-Fisheries Councils; and 3) the concerned local and national governments. The project shall also be doing interventions at 3 levels: at the barangay, municipal and provincial/regional levels.
An important element to be considered in this project is the rehabilitation of household livelihoods by enhancing group and community capacity to support members’ initiatives and access needed support from government and other agencies. Community-level intervention will be piloted in 8 vulnerable communities within the 3 priority municipalities in Eastern Samar namely, Salcedo, Mercedes and Guiuan.

Indigenous people’s rights and sustainable livelihoods programme in Bayog The Subanen people who live in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, are among the poorest and most marginalized people in the Philippines. Most Subanen communities are located in remote but resource-rich areas, but Subanen people have little, if any, effective representation in decision-making bodies. Pigsalabukan Gukom de Bayog (PGB) is a traditional council of the Subanen People of the central region of the Zamboanga Peninsula. PGB's Bayog Ancestral Domain Sustainable Land Use and Governance Programme forms part of CAFOD's Indigenous People's Land and Livelihoods Programme (IPLLP) which aims to support the empowerment of indigenous communities in the Philippines to lead their own development and improve their quality of life through increased control, more effective governance, and sustainable management of natural and cultural resources within their ancestral lands. The Subanen community is in process of securing title to its ancestral domain in Bayog and the right to make decisions relating to it, and natural resources within the domain will be managed sustainable through implementation of land use plans, disaster reduction and livelihoods strategies which apply indigenous knowledge and appropriate technology. PBG will engage with local and national government bodies to ensure policies and practice that respect and promote Subanen culture and tradition, and ensure that women are included in decision-making. The aims of the project include consolidation of PGB as an indigenous organisation to ensure that the Subanen communities in Bayog can be governed in accordance with their people’s traditional knowledge and customs within their legally recognised ancestral domains, and that this can be harmonised with the existing legal and political systems in the Philippines.

Interfaith peace building and community development in Lanao del Norte PAKIGDAIT was established in 2001 as an organisation of religious and lay leaders from the different religious groups (Muslim, Roman Catholic, Adventist, Baptist, and traditional indigenous animist beliefs) in Lanao del Norte Province, Mindanao, who were willing to work together to develop constructive community-based solutions to conflict and poverty. Peace negotiations are under way at national level between the Philippines government and MILF (Moro Islamic Liberation Front), but they need to be backed up by grassroots participation. PAKIGDAIT is therefore focusing on three village communities in Kauswagan Municipality and one in Salvador Municipality, working at grassroots level and seeking to involve all interest groups and viewpoints, through mobilising the four “pillars” of the local communities: traditional and religious leaders, leaders of civil society organisations, women and youth leaders, and local government officials, and persuading them to co-operate with each other and to engage with higher levels of government to promote policies and programmes which are conducive to peace, development, reconciliation and reduction of violence. PAKIGDAIT also forms interfaith peace building groups at community and municipality levels, and particularly encourages women and young people to get involved in peace building initiatives. Recognising that conflict is often rooted in poverty and competition for scarce resources, the project provides support for livelihood initiatives, and help in resolving disputes over land and other resources.

Real Time Evaluation of Philippines CBCP NASSA EA12/2014 programme NASSA – Caritas Philippines - launched an Emergency Appeal 23/2013 for the Relief phase (November to March) and following straight on from this a second year-long Recovery Emergency Appeal was launched, EA 12/2014 (April ’14 – March ’15). This €9.74 million programme, also known as REACH Philippines, focuses on rehabilitation in 9 of the worst affected dioceses, with activities taking place across the priority sectors of: WASH, Shelter, Livelihoods and DRR. As well as providing the most vulnerable with longer-term recovery support to build back their lives better, a key component of this EA is to also build stronger and sustainable organisations at the level of NASSA and the diocesan Social Action Centers (DSACs) to enable them to effectively and efficiently implement emergency, recovery and development projects, now and in the future.
Caritas Internationalis Member Organisations from across the confederation have provided financial support to EA 12/2014 which is now fully funded at €9.7 million. CAFOD’s contribution has been £2 million (€2.4 million), along with additional support in the form of seconded technical and advisory staff. This Real Time Evaluation is planned to help the programme build on its successes and permit the rapid reorientation of systems and procedures to better achieve the programmes goals of the current Emergency Appeal (EA), as well as future EAs.

Support to shelter, sanitation and livlihoods needs of those affected by Typhoon Haiyan (EA 12/2014) Super Typhoon Haiyan (local name ‘Yolanda’) tore across the Philippines on Friday November 8th, 2013 leaving a trail of destruction in its wake- Government figures from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) estimate over 16 million people affected and over 4 million displaced. According to OCHA 40% of this population was already living below the poverty line. Over 1.1 million homes were damaged, about half of them completely destroyed. The livelihoods of an estimated 5.6 million workers have been affected; 2.5 million of these were already classified as vulnerable workers prior to the Typhoon.
This 1 year project is the first stage of CBCP NASSA Caritas Philippines and Diocesan Social Action Centres recovery response bringing together WASH, shelter, livelihoods, all within the lens of disaster risk reduction (DRR) and strong community organisation.
CAFOD will be contributing £2 million which is approximately 25% of the total project budget.
This project aims to reach 97,612 individuals. CAFOD's financial contribution will reach a proportion of this number (approximately 24,403 direct beneficiaries, representing 25% of total target number).

Sabakan Gender Advocacy and Empowerment Programme Sabakan, meaning “womb” in the Cebuano language, is the only Diocesan Ministry to Women, not only in Mindanao, but in the Philippines. It has been a church-related service NGO since 1997 and serves as a not only as a centre for healing, couselling and therapeutic support for women and children-victims of DV but also offers legal support and serves as a training and resource centre for the advocacy and the promotion of the human rights of women and children. This new three year project will focus on integrating gender issues into church and government programs, healing women and children survivors of Violence against Women & Children (VAWC) and empowering women survivors and community leaders to become advocates against violence against women and children. This will be done through four programme components:
1. Healing and support sessions for women, parents and children
2. Provision of legal services and establishment of a volunteer para-legal support system, a community awareness raising programme serving church apostolates, schools, the department of education and other ministries
3. Awareness raising of VAWC issues, through church apostolates, Diocesan schools, the department of education and other ministries.
3. Advocacy initiatives to encourage church apostolates and government agencies to take an active role in responding to the needs of women and children survivors of violence in their respective agencies/apostolates
A key focus of this three year programme cycle will also be organisational and project sustainability.

Indigenous people’s rights and sustainable livelihoods programme in Zamboanga Indigenous communities are among the poorest and most marginalised in the Philippines. The Subanon people living in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Western Mindanao, are an indigenous group of upland farmers growing rice, root crops and vegetables mainly for subsistence, though they can make some cash income from selling forest products, marketing any surplus food produced, and earning wages from farm work. Daily income is estimated at 30-70 pesos, and there are high rates of illiteracy among school-age children and high infant mortality. CAFOD has for some years been working in partnership with the Subanons’ traditional governing council – the Gukom Sog Pito Kodolungan or Council of Leaders of the Seven Rivers (Gukom) – believed to have been founded around the 16th century, to help them establish legal title to the areas of land which form their ancestral domain, and respond effectively to attempts to encroach on it (eg by mining companies). CAFOD is currently supporting the efforts of 8,401 Subanons living in two selected target areas, Canatuan and Lintangan-Malayal, to draw up a plan for the management of their ancestral domain on which they can all agree, and which is in keeping with their traditional values. Such a plan will ensure a more productive, but always sustainable, management of natural resources, and also improve the community’s lines of communication with government agencies and enable them to access better services. Under the project workshops and consultations are organised specifically with women, to encourage their active involvement. Educational and cultural programmes are also provided for young people, partly to help them achieve better understanding of their people’s traditions, and also to increase the number of Subanon students gaining admission to university.

Strengthening indigenous people's land rights and land use This project forms part of CAFOD’s Indigenous People's Land and Livelihoods Programme which aims to support the empowerment of indigenous communities in the Philippines to lead their own development, and improve their quality of life, through increased control and more sustainable management of natural resources within their ancestral lands. The Subanen people who live in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, are among the poorest and most marginalized people in the Philippines. Most Subanen communities are located in remote but resource-rich areas, but Subanen people have little, if any, effective representation in decision-making bodies, and many of them are at risk of displacement from their land or exploitation by mining companies.
CAFOD have supported Gukom, a council of indigenous elders, representing Subanon communities throughout the Zamboaga Peninsula, in applying for the land rights for their indigenous territories. This project will support 3 communities to undertake land use planning for their ancestral land areas in order to protect and develop their natural resources and improve their quality of life in preparation for receiving their land titles.

Subanen Indegegnouse People in Philippines History Book Project The Zamboanga Peninsula in Western Mindanao, Philippines is the traditional homeland of the Subanon people. Before the colonial times, the Subanons used to inhabit in the coastal areas and along river deltas of the Peninsula. Due to colonial encroachment, the Subanens were slowly pushed upland. In the last 50 years, massive migration of people from the central and northern region of the Philippines made the Subanons a minority population in their traditional homeland. Over the years of encroachment, what remain to the ancestral territory of the subanons are ancestral domains where the Subanens still live in cluster of community practice their customs and traditions, and assert their rights and uphold their identity.
In addition to the above, over the years new influence facilitated by modern education, the mass media and religion co-exist with traditional beliefs and practices. Religion is one of the major sources of division among the Subanens.
To protect the Right of the Indigenous People the Indigenous People Rights Act (IPRA) has been adopted . Moreover, it rekindled the subanen interest to their history. Unfortunately, each own community now has its own vision of their history and commo roots are almost forgotten because those were largely pass on orally. At present, there could be less than a hundred Subanen traditional historian alive and they are now in their 80's and 90's . Hence, the urgency of documenting the history of the Subanen's as told by the traditional historians.
To support this good initiative CAFOD decided to release one off grant to support Gukom, PGB and PDSI to start implement their initiative.

EA 08 /2016 – Philippines Reach 3 Two years ago on November 8, 2013, the Philippines witnessed a tragedy wrought by the most destructive cyclone
recorded in recent history, Category 5 Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda). It ripped across the Philippine archipelago with 16,078,181 million people affected and PhP 89,598,068, 634 (EUR 1.792 Billion) total cost of damage.
The proposed Year 3 program will continue to focus on the 166 communities it has been serving since the first year of the#REACHPhilippines Program implementation, covering the nine diocesan territories in Central Philippines (Cebu,
Northern Palawan, Leyte, Eastern Samar, Western Samar, Capiz, Iloilo, Aklan and Antique) spreading over fifty-one
municipalities. Basing from the results of the multi-sectoral and program development workshops held last February and March 2016, this Year 3 appeal will conclude the successful outcomes of Year 1 (EA 12/2014) and Year 2 (EA 07/2015) program implementations. Year 3 program will focus on: 1] building strong community organizations such as BWSA and WASH committees for WASH, sectoral groupings for farmers, fishermen, women and youth for Livelihoods, and home owners’ associations and local artisans for shelter which will be classified into bigger community organizations such as the BDRRMCs responsible for both disaster risk analysis, and development and implementation of disaster risk reduction measures, 2] institutionalization of participatory planning, monitoring, evaluation and learning, and 3] facilitating the transfer of ownership of the entire CMDRR project by the community organizations to parish and/or the local government structures.

Reconstruction/restoration of damaged school buildings post Typhoon Haiyan, Philippines. This project represents one component of CAFOD's 2nd phase Philippines Typhoon DEC funding.
An estimated 16 million people were affected by Typhoon Haiyan. Approximately 4.4 million people, or 930,000 families were displaced. Of these, 400,000 people were housed in more than 1,500 evacuation centres; mainly schools.
According to UNOCHA, 11,919 public elementary and secondary schools have been disrupted, affecting approximately 4.4 million students. Many classes now take place in makeshift buildings or outside, and classrooms are shared between different grades. This results in shift learning, with some grades attending in the morning and others in the afternoon. This has reduced learning, and impacted the quality of education.
Whilst most people have now moved out of the evacuation centres, many classes cannot return to normal because of the physical damage to school buildings. The storm damaged approximately 2,400 classrooms across Cebu province alone. The typhoon also severely affected schools water and sanitation systems.
This 18 month project aims to restore access for pupils in 4 schools to safe and operational education facilities. The project is co-funded by Swiss Solidarity and Trocaire.
Caritas Switzerland will be supported by ‘Emergency Architects,’ a French INGO working in 25 countries who will recruit and train skilled and unskilled labour from the target communities. The training covers theoretical principles for earthquake and typhoon resistant construction, and also extensive “on the job” training during the repair works.

Parish-based action for sustainable land use and livelihoods, integrated with disaster preparedness Our Lady of Fatima Parish, Josefina, has been a CAFOD partner since 1990, and this project seeks to build on many years of work especially to help the very poor local population improve their livelihoods, and introduce more productive and sustainable farming methods. Like many rural Philippines parishes it covers a large area of which is extremely poor) with just one central church, and a network of basic ecclesial communities in the outlying villages through which pastoral outreach and development initiatives are implemented. The Philippines as a whole is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and their resultant effects such as tsunami, landslides, lava-flows, floods and flash-floods, while the island of Mindanao has also been identified as particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and El Niño-induced drought, and its vulnerability has been exacerbated by ecological degradation due to extensive deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict born of a decade old secessionist movement and communist-led insurgency. Since 2007, CAFOD livelihoods partners in Mindanao have been reporting that their agricultural programmes are being impacted by changing weather patterns, and that crops are failing due to extended drought, flooding and pest infestations. Since 2009, therefore, CAFOD has been supporting a programme with Josefina Parish and other local partners to strengthen their work on livelihoods through encouraging communities to carry out participatory disaster risk assessments and develop action plans, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources; they also mobilise the communities to engage with local government to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR), an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters, into its 10-year land use plans.

Indigenous land use and resource management capacity support project CAFOD’s Indigenous Rights Programme in the Philippines focuses on the empowerment of Indigenous Communities to lead their own development through increased control and more sustainable management of natural resources within their indigenous territories. The formulation of the Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) is a crucial phase in ensuring sustainable community access to the resources within their domains in addition to informed decision making on the future use of those resources. The Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan supports Indigenous community to make decisions about envisioned forestland use, resource usage; environmental and socio-economic impact and proposed financing and marketing strategies.
The Philippines Association for Inter-Cultural Development, PAFID, will provide technical and capacity building support to 3 CAFOD Indigenous partners (Gukom, PDSI, PGB) for the implemention of the ADSDPP process for the duration of this project. ADSDPP Plans will be initially supported in the Indigenous areas of Bayog, Kumalarang and Lintangan.

Reconstruction of damaged school buildings and improved DRR, post Typhoon Haiyan - DEC Phase 2B This project represents one component of CAFOD's DEC Phase 2B Philippines response, Caritas Switzerland will be reconstructing schools, training local craftsmen on construction and improving disaster risk reduction measures.
School enrolment has significantly increased to over 14 million students in 2014, a high portion of which was from the poorest households. However, universal access to elementary education is challenged by the damages of the Haiyan disaster. Particularly, access to quality education, adequate space, lack of resources and extended teacher training remains a major challenge. In addition, the oversight function for reconstruction efforts is only carried out in a limited manner by the Department of Education.
Throughout Phase 2B, 41 classrooms will be reconstructed at 5 school complexes; 4 school complexes are located on Bantayan Island, the fifth school complex is situated in Kinatarkan Island. The designs of all school buildings are based on the generic school designs of the Department of Education, and upgraded by CACH to ensure they meet the Philippines National Building Code.
The project will also recruit and train skilled and unskilled labour workers from the target communities. The training covers theoretical principles for earthquake and typhoon resistant construction, guidance on the Philippines National Building Code and extensive “on the job” training during the repair works.
CACH will also lead the WASH hardware component - each school will be carefully evaluated (assessing soil and groundwater situation) and an adequate sanitation facility will be provided. Collaboration will continue with OXFAM to implement the soft component for WASH.

Emergency Assistance to Communities Affected by STS Nalgae (Paeng) in 3 Dioceses Severe tropical storm (STS) Nalgae (locally named Paeng), brought heavy rains and strong winds to the Philippines and affected at least 4 million people as it traversed the landmass on 28-31 October. The National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has reported that the storm left at least 154 people dead (where 101 are confirmed and 53 for validation) and 35 missing, mainly due to flashfloods and landslides. The Department of Social Welfare and Development reports that more than 200,000 families were displaced, at least 73,000 families were evacuated to 2,938 evacuation centers. Cost of damage to agriculture is US$48.6 million; 1,631 houses were destroyed; and 5,409 partially damaged. 164 local government units declared to be under state of calamity.
The torrential rainfall over a short period of time triggered flooding, flashfloods and landslides in Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, which were the major causes of deaths and infrastructure damages.
One of the immediate needs that was assessed based on the information coming from the affected dioceses on the ground were food and non-food items, temporary shelter and shelter repair kits and restoration of livelihoods.
The proposed intervention of Caritas Philippines is to provide humanitarian assistance for shelter and livelihoods. The humanitarian response will focus on 3 areas affected (provinces of Marinduque, Camarines Sur and Negros Occidental. In the areas selected, massive destruction was on shelters, natural environment, degradation of eco-systems, disruption of farming, fishing and other food production and livelihood related activities.
Shelter assistance (through cash vouchers for shelter repair kits) is highly needed in the areas affected as government effort are limited and should be complemented. The immediate repair of shelter is to provide safe access to protection from the environment of the communities affected.
The effects of the disaster on livelihoods may result in longer-term food insecurity of households affected, and contribute to health-related concerns, and malnutrition. To immediately cope with the situation a cash for work scheme will be implemented to help restore livelihoods in agriculture and fisheries.

Emergency and Early Recovery Assistance to Affected communities by Flooding - Philippines In December 2023, the Southern and Eastern part of Philippines were hit by Tropical Storm with wind brought massive flooding in Mindanao provinces. In that weather disturbance, several Internally Displaced Persons left their homes and stayed at the designated evacuation center. On January 2024, Shearline (a type of weather disturbance where the cold and warm winds meet) brought heavy rains to the same provinces, threatened houses, and infrastructure from soil erosion due to ravaging waters along the riverbank, A landslide also occurred and buried a community with reported deaths and those living in the mountainous areas are still equally at risk of landslides.
The National Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council reported a total number of 471,819 affected families (1,56,339 individuals) in 13 provinces, 71 cities/municipalities and 881 barangays. Due to its magnitude, the diocese requested assistance from Caritas Philippines for support.
Caritas Philippines in coordination and collaboration with dioceses took immediate actions and called for appeals. In reference to the above context, Caritas Philippines decided to focus the proposed EA on the relief phase (NFI – cooking sets/kitchen items), early recovery (shelter, livelihoods, and capacity building) to continue the phase of humanitarian response. They will be to meet the essential emergency needs of the affected families and provide them non-food items, Shelter and livelihoods for 465 households (2,325 individuals), affected in the provinces of Davao Del Norte, Davao De Oro and Davao Oriental, Philippines.
The decision has been made by the CAFOD management to provide around £30000 grant from GEF to Caritas Philippine towards this flood response/recovery in Philippine.

Making ecosystems work through integrating land use, livelihoods and disaster preparedness The Philippines as a whole is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, typhoons and their resultant effects such as tsunami, landslides, lava-flows, floods and flash-floods, while the island of Mindanao has also been identified as particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and El Niño-induced drought, and its vulnerability has been exacerbated by ecological degradation due to extensive deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict born of a decade old secessionist movement and communist-led insurgency. Since 2007, CAFOD livelihoods partners in Mindanao have been reporting that their agricultural programmes are being impacted by changing weather patterns, and that crops are failing due to extended drought, flooding and pest infestations. Since 2009, therefore, CAFOD has been supporting a programme with Ecoweb and other local partners to strengthen their work on livelihoods through encouraging communities to carry out participatory disaster risk assessments and develop action plans, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources; they also mobilise the communities to engage with local government to integrate disaster risk reduction (DRR), an approach which seeks to identify and reduce vulnerability to disasters, into its 10-year land use plans.

Reducing vulnerability to disaster through strengthened coordination and innovation The Philippines is vulnerable to a wide range of natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanic eruptions and typhoons. Communities living on the island of Mindanao are also particularly vulnerable to temperature increase and climate change. Deforestation, mining and the ongoing conflict has increased this vulnerability. CAFOD has working with three local partners in Mindanao to support communities to identify the factors making them vulnerable to disaster, and to adapt to climate change and other hazards through changes in how they manage their land and other natural resources. Communities are also encouraged and supported to engage with local government to access support for climate change adaptation and to reduce their risk to disaster. This project will strengthen this programme by supporting these partners to increase their coordination with eachother and with government agencies and by strengthening the ability of communities and local government to make decisions about land use and natural resource management through the use of innovative technology.

Indigenous people’s rights and sustainable livelihoods programme This project forms part of CAFOD’s indigenous people's land and livelihoods programme which aims to support the empowerment of indigenous communities in the Philippines to lead their own development, and improve their quality of life, through increased control and more sustainable management of natural resources within their ancestral lands. The Subanen people who live in the Zamboanga Peninsula, Mindanao, are among the poorest and most marginalized people in the Philippines. Most Subanen communities are located in remote but resource-rich areas, but Subanen people have little, if any, effective representation in decision-making bodies, and indigenous women have even less say. This project will support two indigenous organisations to apply for land rights and develop land use plans for the ancestral lands.
Pigsalabukan Gukom de Bayog is a traditional council of the Subanen People of the central region of the Zamboanga Peninsula representing the Bayog Indigenous community. This project will support the community of Bayog to secure their land rights and to undertake a land use planning process in order to reduce resource related conflicts and to ensure the natural resources within the domain will be managed sustainably
PDSI is a Subanen women’s network representing the Kumalarang indigenous community. Through this project CAFOD, and will support the community of Kumalarang to secure their land rights and undertake a land use planning process. This process will also ensure that Indigenous women can participate in community decision-making particularly with regard to the management of ancestral lands, maintenance of peace and order, and resolution of conflict.

Livelihood early recovery support to agricultural households affected by Typhoon Haiyan DEC phase 1 Super-typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda) made landfall on 8 November in the Philippines. The Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) currently estimates that 14.9 million people have been affected, while approximately 4.1 million people remain displaced . The official death toll from National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC) has steadily increased to 5,759 people, with 1,779 recorded as missing.
The DEC Philippines Typhoon appeal was launched on 12th November 2013. This project forms part of CAFOD's DEC programme. CAFOD and CRS are prioritising Eastern Samar and Leyte provinces (Region VIII) for this intervention, where the typhoon and its deadly tidal surge first struck. CRS are already implementing emergency shelter and WASH activities across nine municipalities with CAFOD and other partner support.
The restoration of livelihoods is a high priority. For small farmers (tilling/farming 3 hectares or less), the typhoon damaged critical crops such as rice, coconut, corn, root crops and vegetables. Farming households have consequently depended on aid as their primary source of food.
This project will provide 2,800 farm labourers/ tenants with temporary employment through Cash For Work to restore productive coconut farms. In addition 7800 small holder coconut farmers, farm labourers, and vulnerable female producers will receive agricultural inputs to re-start and diversify production.
CAFOD are providing £781,875 ($1,274,457 at rate of 1.63) of DEC phase 1 funding (ICD619) to CRS over the project period from 1 December 2013 to 30 April 2014.

Informed community decision making on how to manage natural resources DIOPIM stands for a grouping of the Catholic dioceses/ prelatures of Dipolog, Ipil, Ozamiz, Pagadian, Iligan and Marawi, covering an area in North-Western Mindao which is one of the most mineral rich regions in the Philippines. The DIOPIM Committee on Mining Issues (DCMI) brings the diocesan Social Action Centres together with concerned NGOs and indigenous people's groups. Its aim is to ensure that local people – poor farmers and fishworkers, mostly belonging to indigenous communities – understand the costs and benefits of mining in relation to other land uses and livelihoods options, and can take informed decisions in relation to mining and the protection and management of their land and natural resources. Project activities include research, monitoring of mining activities and their impact, building the capacity of the Social Action Centres and communities in relation to mining and environmental protection, and supporting communities and church structures to engage in advocacy initiatives to influence policies relating to mining at local and national level.

COMPASS 2015 Philippines CAFOD is engaging 4 partners to conduct participatory research to include the voices of those living in poverty in the post-2015 debate. ECOWEB will conduct one of these research projects. Research participants will play a key role in identifying key aspects of social inequality and poverty and in the reflection on the causes. Basing on the definition of the Beyond 2015 national campaign plan in the Philippines, voices from the following areas shall be prioritized.
• Poverty stricken areas
• Far flung/ inaccessible areas
• Conflict-affected areas
• High risk areas to natural hazards
• Mining-affected/environmentally vulnerable areas
The most vulnerable sectors within the above areas shall also be reached out such as the persons with disability (PWD), children, elderly, and women. From among the basic economic sectors, the subsistent fisherfolks, farmers, informal labor, and forest dwellers shall also be given attention. Other marginalized groups such as the Indigenous People, internally displaced persons due to disasters, the minority Moro people and the informal settlers will also be given priority. In the Philippine context, a voice from rebels or former rebels/combatants shall also be heard whose presence manifest the inequality and injustice prevailing in the Philippine society.
Seven (7) areas (cluster of communities) in the North-Western Mindanao region, particularly in the provinces of Misamis Oriental, Lanao del Norte, Zamboanga and Lanao del Sur are targeted to be covered by this research project.

Ulaanbaatar Green Affordable Housing and Resilient Urban Renewal Sector Project The project will deliver sustainable and comprehensive solutions to transform the substandard, climate-vulnerable, and heavily polluting ger areas of Ulaanbaatar city into affordable, low carbon, climate-resilient, and livable eco-districts. It will leverage private sector investment to (i) deliver 10,000 affordable green housing units; and (ii) redevelop 100 hectares of ger areas into eco-districts. The project is aligned with the following impacts: living conditions in Mongolia improved; and Ulaanbaatar is a safe, healthy, and green city that is resilient to climate change, and provides a livable environment for its residents. The project will have the following outcome: access to low-carbon and climate-resilient eco-districts and green affordable housing in Ulaanbaatar ger areas increased. The project is consistent with ADB's country partnership strategy for Mongolia, 2017-2020, and with the core themes of green, competitive, and inclusive cities of ADB's Urban Operational Plan.The project will have three outputs: (i) resilient urban infrastructure, public facilities, and social housing units in ger areas constructed (public sector component); (ii) long-term financing to developers for low-carbon affordable housing, market rate housing, and economic facilities in ger areas and to households for green mortgages increased (financial intermediation loan [FIL] component); and (iii) sector policy reforms implemented and capacity strengthened. Output 1 will deliver (i) green social housing units with climate adaptation and mitigation features; and (ii) resilient infrastructure, public space, and public facilities. Under output 2, up to $75.7 million of the GCF loan will be made available under the proposed FIL to enable an eco-district and affordable housing fund (EDAF) to provide long-term debt financing (denominated in local currency) to eligible commercial banks to support real estate developers' participation in the low-carbon housing market, and produce affordable green mortgages. Output 3 will support (i) project implementation; (ii) eco-district feasibility and development, policy improvement on climate change adaptation and mitigation, and improved supply and access to affordable green housing units; (iii) detailed design and supervision; and (iv) sustainable green housing finance.Eco-district parameters. The project eco-districts will be low-carbon, climate-resilient, mixed-income, and mixed-use areas with approximately 30% public space. The project's five phases will deliver about 20 eco-districts or subprojects, with each covering an average of 5 ha. Phase 1 include two core subprojects (10 ha) in Bayankhoshuu and Selbe subcenters, phases 23 will have 8 subprojects (40 ha), and phases 45 will have 10 subprojects (50 ha). Each subproject should be completed within 5 years. Phases 25 will identify and prepare a batch of subprojects to be appraised based on eligibility and selection criteria, including financial and physical parameters, formulated from the feasibility study of the two core subprojects. A detailed infrastructure and architectural design produced for each subproject will ensure (i) adequate ratio for social (15%), affordable (55%), and market rate (30%) housing units; (ii) balance between public space and amenities, commercial areas, and residential units; and (iii) financial viability and rentability to allow private sector participation. The redevelopment process and housing construction will be undertaken onsite, and will be demand-driven.Sector lending with financial intermediation loan component modality. The sector lending modality was deemed the most appropriate modality to achieve the project objectives because (i) a large number of subprojects in the sector are to be financed; (ii) the government and MUB have sector development plans (SDPs) to ensure the priority development needs of the cross sectoral policy improvement plan are met, and to guide project implementation; (iii) sector and institutional capacity analyses have shown that the government and MUB have adequate institutional capacity to implement the SDPs and the project; and (iv) policies applicable to the sector are deemed appropriate and will be improved, if warranted. The project will support the government and MUB in translating their SDPs into implementable investments, and coordinated policies, actions, and institutional improvement. Financial and institutional arrangements will facilitate the application of a blended finance strategy using the FIL modality. The FIL modality will leverage private resources through the EDAF to be established and managed by the Asset Management Company of DBM (AMC-DBM) on behalf of the Ministry of Finance. The EDAF will be established as a private investment fund structured as a revolving fund, and will be used to onlend a portion of the GCF loan to participating commercial banks. Based on eligibility and selection criteria, commercial banks will use the GCF loan proceeds to support housing supply and demand: (i) for supply, the EDAF will provide medium-term loans to selected private developers, which will be combined with the developers' equities and additional loans by DBM and participating commercial banks to implement output 2; and (ii) for demand, the loan proceeds will be converted into low-cost long-term mortgages to home buyers for purchases of the affordable housing and market rate housing units.

Payment System Modernization Project The current payments system is composed of an interbank payment infrastructure and a retail payment infrastructure. The former covers the real time gross settlement system (RTGS) for high-value transactions and the low-value payments system (LVPS) for low value transactions. It also covers the auctioning and trading of foreign exchange and securities, although the present system does not cover collateral management nor the pledging of securities/bonds. This includes a General Ledger system that is now outdated and needs to be integrated with participating banks statutory accounts with BOM. The retail payment infrastructure is based on the Electronic Transfer System (ETS) system acquired by BOM and covers electronic fund transport at point of sale / automatic teller machine (EFTPOS/ATM) switching but it can also support card and merchant management and EMV (Europay, Mastercard and Visa) and hybrid cards. To be able to accommodate these however, the ETS needs to be upgraded.
The current system was built with support from the World Bank under its Financial Capacity Development Project completed in 2009 and considered one of its successful interventions under the project. However, it was recognized even at the close of the project that the payments system needs to undergo further development as market requirements evolve and due to technical limitations of the system as well as to address policy issues that emerge. The issues that need to be addressed include:
(i) ability of the current software to accept future expansion of services and reliance of the current system on the current application provider for upgrade and maintenance;
(ii) design of an open, flexible, modular architecture that can accommodate the introduction of new electronic payment services, as well as money and capital market instruments that suit evolving market needs and provide transparency, reduction of cash circulation in a modern broadband connected environment;
(iii) development of an Eco System which ensures interoperability and competitiveness between service providers that may be implemented by competing institutions to avoid fragmented services and avail of scale economies;
(iv) develop local standards and authentication procedures that more appropriately meet local requirements aligned with prescribed international standards;
(v) set-up business continuity and disaster management plan to address system vulnerabilities such as network and system failure (computer crashes) and computer hacking, among others; and not the least; and
(vi) establish an appropriate legal/regulatory framework that provides for the use of digital signatures, conduct of electronic payments, etc. and required authorities for oversight and supervision, market discipline and transparent rules.
A Payments Law is currently under consideration. More importantly, the current system's processing cost has been calculated to reach about 20 times that of the Republic of Korea's on a per transaction basis and has been increasing at the rate of 10% per year.

Urban Development Sector Project The objectives of the Project is to improve the living conditions and the quality of life of the urban population.
The Project follows a sector lending approach and supports sector policies on urban development, including the Government's Action Plan for 2004-2008 and program to provide 40,000 households with opportunities to live in housing with improved basic services. The Project will consist of four components: (i) A: improvement of basic urban services, (ii) B: urban road improvement, (iii) C: small loans for water connections and on-plot facility improvements, and (iv) D: institutional development and training.
Project implementation will start with two core subprojects: (i) improvement of the Hailaast road section in Ulaanbaatar; and (ii) water supply, sanitation, and solid waste management in Erdenet. The remaining subprojects will be identified and formulated during project implementation in accordance with rigorous procedures for screening, identification, selection, and appraisal of the subprojects. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) reviewed the two core subprojects and found that they are viable from a technical, institutional, social, financial, economic, and environmental perspective. For each of the remaining subprojects, the Ulaanbaatar municipal government and concerned aimag (province) governments and public urban services organizations (PUSOs) will prepare a feasibility study, including a resettlement plan and environmental impact assessment. For the water supply subcomponent, concerned aimag governments will be required to indicate strong political commitment to implement the tariff reforms to ensure repayment to the Government.

Regional Logistics Development Project The Project is implemented in Zamyn-Uud, a relatively poor area. The region is a desert and many people are poor and the economic growth necessary to reduce rural poverty has failed to develop because of inadequate transport services and high costs. The local governments and people living in the region see the development of the logistics facility as a key investment for addressing this problem. Logistics development is a part of the Government's program for the integrated development of free economic zone in this poor region, which shares borders with the People's Republic China (PRC) and is the main gateway for Mongolia's trade with the PRC and other parts of the world. The development of this facility is expected to play an important role in facilitating and integrating this poor and underdeveloped region, and stimulating international, regional and domestic trade. The proposed Project is in line with the National Development Plan and the Government's Regional Development Strategy.
The Project is a key intervention in the transport sector, with many technical, operational, safety, and economic benefits. It seeks to introduce well developed logistics terminal equipped with modern technology for enhanced efficiency, increased throughput, and improved reliability-all of which will lead to a more affordable, faster, cheaper, safe transport services in Mongolia.

Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program - Tranche 3 Ulaanbaatar city is home to more than 1.44 million people. The central city core with comprehensive utility services is surrounded by vast, substandard, and unserved ger areas of about 100 square kilometers. Ger areas accommodate about 60% of the city's population (about 840,000 inhabitants) and have spread and expanded through successive waves of migration. These settlements of low- and medium-income households are characterized by loosely aligned plots, creating irregular unpaved pathways. The majority of households living here have land tenure. Lack of basic urban infrastructure and services in ger areas has caused severe pollution that threatens city residents' health. Obsolete household coal stoves for heating, and traffic congestion caused by unplanned road networks have helped generate some of the highest levels of air pollution in the world. Households exclusive reliance on open pit latrines and a poor solid waste collection system has led to poor sanitation, along with limited access to water supplied by water kiosks. There is a lack of basic social and public facilities, such as green spaces, parks, sports centers, kindergartens, and primary health centers. The upgrading of ger areas is constrained by inadequate urban infrastructure, lack of urban planning, poor urban services, and limited public spaces and facilities.
On 12 December 2013, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved the Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program using multitranche financing facility (MFF) modality, comprising three tranches. On 16 April 2020, the President approved the extension of the MFF availability period from 9 years to 10 years (or from 31 December 2022 to 11 December 2023) to ensure the timely implementation of tranche 3. The total program cost is $320.00 million, of which $163.70 million will be financed by ADB; $96.00 million by the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB); and up to 50.00 million euros ($60.30 million equivalent at the time of approval) parallel cofinancing by the European Investment Bank. This program is the result of a successful policy dialogue between ADB and the MUB that catalyzed the (i) integration of ger areas in the Ulaanbaatar city master plan for the first time in December 2013, and (ii) adoption of a priority service and economic hubs (subcenters) development strategy in ger areas as a catalyst for more polycentric and inclusive city development. Under this program, a road map has been developed to establish a network of well-developed city subcenters to provide jobs, housing, and economic opportunities with reduced soil and air pollution. The program has introduced a paradigm shift and replicable mechanism to systematically extend modern infrastructure and key social facilities to ger area. The framework financing agreement was signed on 9 December 2013 and ratified by the Mongolian Parliament on 23 May 2014.
Tranche 3 of the MFF will align with the program strategic road map to support the redevelopment of two additional subcenters in the eastern and western ger areas (Sharkhad and Tolgoit).

Ulaanbaatar Urban Services and Ger Areas Development Investment Program - Tranche 1 The program approach aims to initiate a redevelopment process in ger areas. Improving infrastructure within the ger area subcenters and connectivity with the city core center is critical for inclusiveness and important to facilitate the movement of people and goods, develop urban corridors, and create clusters of subcenters. Better urban planning combined with a network of infrastructure along priority roads will initiate a structural change of subcenter urban fabric. This will (i) improve residents access to basic urban services, public space, and socioeconomic facilities; (ii) support local economic development; (iii) allow residents and businesses to take advantage of urban economies; and (iv) provide better housing options. The changes in land use and higher urban density will improve water, sanitation, and heating services delivery.
Road map. Based on government and Municipality of Ulaanbaatar (MUB) priorities to redevelop ger areas, the road map for the program will support the MUB in establishing a network of well-developed subcenters to provide jobs, housing, and economic opportunities with reduced soil and air pollution. It comprises sequenced investments, municipal reforms, and capacity building (policy, planning, and monitoring), with four strategic objectives: (i) expand roads and basic urban services (water, sewerage, and heating) within subcenters and improve connectivity to initiate land use transformation; (ii) increase economic and public services through investments in socioeconomic facilities to meet population needs, increase urban functions, and encourage job creation; (iii) increase service provider efficiency by improving water supply, sewerage, and heating service operations; and (iv) strengthen institutions and capacity by improving urban planning and subcenter development, community awareness, participation and empowerment, service provider operations and management, and program implementation capacity.
Strategic context and sector policy. In February 2013, Parliament approved the Adjustments to the Ulaanbaatar City Urban Development Master Plan 2020 and Development Directions 2030. The master plan produced two important outcomes: (i) integration of ger area development into the city master plan, and (ii) acknowledgement of the value and function of ger area subcenters as key elements of future city growth. The MUB is developing the Ger Area Development Program and established a Ger Area Development Agency, supervised by the vice mayor in charge of urban development and investment. On 30 May 2013, the city council resolution No.10/38 endorsed the program, subcenter locations under project 1, and coordination of the investment program with the city master plan. The MUB proposed a special purpose development vehicle (subcenter redevelopment authority) to facilitate, supervise, and coordinate the redevelopment process of the selected subcenters. In addition, the Ministry of Economic Development s Street Project is to improve road conditions in Ulaanbaatar and includes a ger area component. The National Development Strategy and the New Reconstruction Midterm Program (2008 2016) constitute the national framework for program implementation. The program is consistent with the Asian Development Bank (ADB) country partnership strategy, 2012 2016 for Mongolia; ADB s Strategy 2020 priorities, including environmental sustainability and private sector development; as well as the core themes of green, competitive, and inclusive cities of ADB s Urban Operational Plan.
Policy dialogue and capacity development. To supplement the strong policy framework, policy dialogue and capacity development will focus (i) in communities, on community participation, awareness, and empowerment, including design and implementation of the social and gender action plan; and establishment of community development councils (CDCs) and small- and medium-sized enterprise (SME) development councils (SDCs); (ii) in subcenters, on subcenter upgrading, including technical guidance for preparing and implementing local development plans, urban zoning regulation and construction standards, and a development framework with a transparent mechanism to regulate land redevelopment insuring current residents are integrated in the redevelopment plan; and (iii) in the city, on the master plan through ongoing ADB technical assistance to strengthen urban planning capacity. Capacity development for water and wastewater utilities will target (i) improving the MUB and USUG management contract, (ii) defining a clearer tariff road map, and (iii) providing technical support to the Water and Sewerage Regulatory Commission. For heating, the focus will be to ensure financial sustainability and capacity of new and existing heating facilities operators in the selected subcenters and to strengthen provisions in management contracts.
Financing modality. An MFF is the proposed financing modality to promote a long-term partnership between ADB, the government, and the MUB to facilitate the development of sustainable, inclusive, and livable ger areas. The MFF will support the policy framework for the redevelopment of ger areas, and provide opportunities for constructive dialogue and capacity development on city planning, policy reforms, and physical and nonphysical investments. It will generate critical mass, predictability, and continuity for basic urban services provision in ger areas, and enable ADB to better respond to MUB needs.
Development coordination. In preparing the program, ADB coordinated closely with development partners involved in Ulaanbaatar s urban sector. Three ADB-financed projects will directly support the program: (i) a bus rapid transit line from the city center to Selbe subcenter; (ii) support for housing and micro-, small-, and medium-sized enterprise financing in ger areas targeted by the program; and (iii) capacity development technical assistance to strengthen MUB urban planning capacity.

Strengthening Fiscal, Financial, and Economic Resilience Subprogram 1 Mongolia's current growth trajectory is a critical period to implement and accelerate structural reforms. More specifically, these reforms should address challenges related to strengthening public financial management, the finance sector, and the role of the private sector in the quest for economic diversification.
The proposed program comprises a set of complementary medium-term structural reforms, focused on strengthening the country's fiscal, finance sector, and economic resilience against the impact of exogenous shocks. More specifically, the program supports medium-term reforms focused on (i) improving domestic resource mobilization, by leveraging a critical set of tax administration and tax policy reforms; (ii) boosting debt sustainability through improving debt management and the management of sovereign liability risks; (iii) improving finance sector stability and resilience through strengthened banking sector supervision and regulation, enhancing NPL resolution, and promoting financial consumer protection; and (iv) strengthening the upstream environment for private sector development through relevant legal reforms, support for public private partnerships; and reforms focused on turning the Development Bank of Mongolia into an institution with a viable value proposition and operating model.

Education for the Poor - Financial Crisis Response Project The financial and economic crisis has forced the Government of Mongolia (the Government) to embark on a process of fiscal adjustment. This is primarily centered around expenditure restraint in view of the dramatic worsening of prices of key exports, dwindling international reserves, and increased pressures on its currency. The Government is acutely aware of the pressure the current global crisis is placing on Mongolia's most vulnerable citizens and has therefore asked the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to help safeguard achievements in the education sector and to mitigate any negative impact of the crisis on the poor. The Project will support (i) financing of meals at preschools for children ages 2-5 to protect access to preschools for poor children; (ii) continuation of the targeted provision of textbooks to secondary school students from poor families; (iii) provision of block grants to schools in need of operation and maintenance funds; and (iv) capacity building at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science (MECS) in financial management, budgeting, and monitoring and evaluation to enable MECS to better deal with budget constraints. The Project is in line with the $229.2 million standby arrangement of the International Monetary Fund for Mongolia that requires the Government to maintain a tight fiscal policy to restore fiscal sustainability, and advocates donor support to mitigate the impact of the fiscal adjustment on the poor. The Project complements the Social Sectors Support Program approved in June 2009 that will support a comprehensive overhaul of the existing system of social transfer programs to better target these programs to the very poor while conserving fiscal resources. The Social Sectors Support Program will introduce proxy means testing (PMT) to improve targeting of the provision of free textbooks and the Project will help MECS operationalize PMT and enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of education service delivery. The Project is a sector intervention that will support the Government in addressing short-term financing needs and continuing longer-term policy reform in the education sector.

Additional Financing of Food and Nutrition Social Welfare Project The original program ($9 million ADF) included the design and implementation of a food stamp program as part of the social welfare system. The original project ($3 million ADF) improved targeting and prepared strategies to reform social welfare. The additional financing will scale up the original project by pursuing the reforms initiated to date in social welfare. Social welfare benefits will be further consolidated to reduce the complexity of the system and increase its effectiveness. The use of proxy means testing to identify poor households will be expanded to apply to other social welfare benefits. The additional financing will also support an expansion in the scope of the original project by improving social insurance services. The additional financing meets the three criteria for priority consideration set out in OM H5/BP para.11: (i) the project is performing well; (ii) there is a high degree of project readiness to implement the additional financing; and (iii) developing social welfare and insurance services that are effective, efficient, transparent, and user-centered is highly innovative in the context of Mongolia and could have a demonstration effect for other sectors.

Financial Regulation and Governance Program The purpose of the Program is to support the development of a sound and broad-based financial sector that effectively channels resources to productive investment. Specifically, the Program will seek to: (i) reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by improving the framework for secured transactions, (ii) protect depositors from poor governance practices in banks, (iii) enhance the role of the non-bank financial (NBF) sector in savings mobilization for investment capital, and (iv) improve investor confidence by reducing the risks from potential money laundering through the financial system.
The Program has three main components: (i) banking sector; (ii) NBF sector; and (iii) Anti-money laundering (AML) regime. The banking sector component will aim to reduce the cost of borrowing and expand access to credit by facilitating debt enforcement and lowering the cost of collateral registration. This component will also introduce legal and regulatory changes to strengthen corporate governance in banks and to improve the supervision of groups and conglomerates that control financial institutions. The NBF sector component will seek to enhance the sector's role in resource mobilization and allocation by developing the legal and regulatory framework, strenghening regulatory capacity through the establishment of a single regulator for NBF sector, the Nonbank Financial Regulatory Commission (NBFRC), and strengthening corporate governance and transparency. This component will also aim to reduce the distortionary impact of tax policies on the financial sector. The AML component will seek to mitigate the potential risks from money laundering activities by supporting the development of the legal and regulatory framework for the AML regime, and the establishment of a financial intelligence unit to monitor and report suspicious financial transactions.

Sustaining Access to and Quality of Education During Economic Difficulties Project Mongolia is facing severe economic difficulties. Significant cuts in the education budget for 2017 and beyond greatly constrain the government's capacity to mitigate further deterioration of education services. This will result in lost opportunities for pre-primary, primary, and secondary education, especially for children who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Support from the Asian Development Bank is urgently needed to minimize the negative effects during this difficult economic period by (i) narrowing the gap in the enrollment capacity of schools and kindergartens in Ulaanbaatar and some aimag (administrative subdivision) centers, (ii) supporting the completion of unfinished curriculum reform and associated assessment system reforms, (iii) ensuring the provision of teaching and learning materials that accompany the new curriculum, (iv) upgrading the skills and knowledge of teachers and managers for the new curriculum and assessments, and (v) strengthening systems for planning and managing education services.

COVID-19: Strengthening Health Security Program (Subprogram 1) The proposed program aims to strengthen the health sector's response to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic and expedite the medium-term reforms that will strengthen the health system and help Mongolia become better prepared to respond to future health crises. The program's design draws on the operational knowledge that the Asian Development Bank (ADB) has gained through its engagement in the health sector in Mongolia since 1993. Through a strategic, coordinated, and well-sequenced set of policy actions, the program will facilitate both immediate and critical medium-term reforms. The provision of a $100 million loan will directly contribute to address the urgent financing needs of the Government of Mongolia. Four reform areas identified under the program will focus on (i) strengthening planning and preparedness of the health sector, and ensuring the availability of critical medicines and emergency supplies; (ii) improving national pharmaceutical regulation, and increasing hospital autonomy and good governance; (iii) enhancing procurement in the health sector to increase efficiency, and establishing a single purchaser for health services; and (iv) safeguarding fiscal sustainability of the government over the medium term (3-5 years).

Dzud Disaster Response Project Since December 2009, Mongolia has been affected by a dzud. A dzud is a multi-faceted natural disaster characterized by a summer drought, in which insufficient fodder is available for stockpiling, followed by heavy winter snow and abnormally low temperatures. One third of Mongolia's population is dependent on livestock for their livelihood and lead nomadic lives. About 422,000 people are affected by the dzud, which accounts for more than a quarter of the rural population. Among those affected, an estimated 160,200 are children under 18 (including more than 44,000 children under 5 years old), about 8,200 are pregnant women, and more than 37,000 are 65 years old or older.
The Government of Mongolia (the government) has declared 12 aimags (provinces) to be in states of disaster in early February 2010. However, the situation is still very fluid and continues to deteriorate. Three additional aimags have subsequently been declared disaster areas as of 29 March 2010. There is significant variability in vulnerability across aimags, and in how the dzud is impacting the livelihood of people and the level of dzud response. The current dzud is expected to be more severe than the last one which occurred in 2001. The UN Resident Coordinator officially confirmed the scale and implications of the disaster, including an indication of the funding required to assist in alleviating its impact. The Government of Mongolia has requested immediate assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB)'s Asia Pacific Disaster Response Fund (APDRF). The project will help the Government to deliver food, fuel, and health and social services to affected herder households in remote areas and remove animal carcasses.

Western Regional Road Corridor Development Program - Tranche I The investment program is the government's top priority road investment after the ADB-financed Regional Road Development Project. A functioning paved road network will help Mongolia to link together its large and poorly connected territory to promote social and economic development. The investment program will provide a vital link to economic opportunities and social services, reduce the high costs of imports, and improve the competitiveness of the region's export products. The physical elements of the investment program include (i) completing the western regional road, which has long been part of Mongolia's national development strategy, (ii) linking small villages and towns to the main corridor to spread the benefits of the investment to regional population centers, and (iii) establishing road maintenance centers to improve asset management and sustainability. Nonphysical components include capacity development in the road subsector, support for local contractors, extensive on-the-job training in project management and implementation, and sector reform initiatives adopted in the road map and implemented through coordination and performance links between the MFF and the parallel TA. The link between the MFF physical investments and the sector road map implementation will provide strong incentives for sector development and reform.

Projet TALAKYBE - Adaptation de l'agriculture au changement climatique et appui ¿ la r¿silience des communaut¿s rurales au Sud-est de Madagascar Contract related to: Projet TALAKYBE - Adaptation de l'agriculture au changement climatique et appui ¿ la r¿silience des communaut¿s rurales au Sud-est de Madagascar - L¿action PACTE VERT, co-construite avec ECHO et intégrant une approche de NEXUS « Humanitaire-Développement-Paix » (NEXUS H-D-P) envisage de contribuer au renforcement de la résilience de la population et des institutions en charge d¿offrir des services face aux chocs socio-éco-climatiques dans le Grand Sud en vue d¿une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle accrue.L¿action se déploie sur deux zones du Grand Sud de Madagascar : i) une zone dite « zone fragile » qui est affectée régulièrement par des sècheresses de plus en plus rapprochées et aigües qui concernent principalement les quatre districts de l¿Androy et une bonne partie du district d¿Amboasary et de Betroka dans la région Anosy et ii) une zone dénommée « zone verte », frontalière à la première, constituée principalement par une nouvelle aire protégée étendue sur les districts de Tolagnaro et d¿Amboasary (région de l¿Anosy) une zone plus verte et qui donne origine à la Mandrare, la principale rivière du Grand Sud. L¿Action s¿articule autour de 03 objectifs spécifiques qui seront déclinés dans les 2 zones par des activités spécifiques aux différents écosystèmes et aux différents besoins des populations. Ces trois objectifs portent sur la promotion des systèmes alimentaires durables pour une alimentation saine et diversifiée, la préservation et la restauration des paysages et des forêts, des eux et des sols et la prévention et la gestion des risques et catastrophes. Le fil conducteur du projet est la conservation de la ressource en eau que constitue le Mandrare qui a son origine dans la zone verte mais qui arrose la zone fragile. Cette Action valorisera les acquis des actions passées et en cours de l¿UE et de ses états membres dans les domaines suivants : sécurité alimentaire/Nutrition, promotion des chaînes de valeurs, gestion durable des ressources naturels y compris de la biodiversité, promotion de l¿agroécologie et de lutte antiérosive. Des complémentarités sont envisagées avec l¿action Energie (qui privilégie le Grand Sud dans les zones d¿électrification rurale), l¿action Santé qui dédiera une attention particulière à la zone « Grand Sud » autour de la nutrition et l¿action « Tou.te.s responsables et redevables » dans son volet d¿appui à la société civile.La valeur transformative sera recherchée et promue en travaillant davantage sur des aspects qui à ce jour sont souvent peu ou pas pris en compte dans la mise en ¿uvre des programmes de nombreux PTF : Investir davantage sur l¿analyse, l¿anticipation, la gestion et la réponse aux risques, appuyer une coordination locale, favoriser l¿inclusion et la redevabilité envers les populations notamment celles vivant dans des conditions les plus vulnérables, promouvoir des mécanismes de flexibilité afin de s¿adapter, si nécessaire, à l¿évolution du contexte ; le tout en mettant au c¿ur de l¿Action l¿opérationnalisation du NEXUS H-D-P.Une avenant par échange de lettre a été fait le XXX.

UE Santé - Ezaka ho Tomady Cette action vise à contribuer à l¿amélioration de l¿accès et de la qualité des services de santé essentiels. L¿action appuie les objectifs du Programme Indicatif Multi annuel 2021-2027 en faveur du développement humain du pays, valorisant le potentiel de la population de Madagascar et notamment des femmes et de la jeunesse, ce qui est une condition indispensable pour le développement du pays et pour la lutte contre la pauvreté. Elle est alignée avec la priorité du Président de Madagascar de promouvoir l¿accès universel à la santé pour la population malgache. La composante 1 vise à étendre et renforcer l¿accès à des intrants de santé de qualité et à bas coût dans l¿ensemble du pays via la centrale d¿achat de médicament SALAMA. La SALAMA, est un dispositif solide, partenaire historique de l¿UE et constitue un élément indispensable d¿un système de santé résilient. Le développement continu de SALAMA rend disponible toute l¿année, y compris en cas de catastrophe naturelle ou d'épidémie, les intrants de santé essentiels dans tous les districts. Cette disponibilité constante des intrants constitue un pilier primordial du système de santé et une condition indispensable pour le cheminement vers la Couverture Santé Universelle (CSU). Cette composante sera réalisée tout d'abord via l'amélioration du fonds de roulement de SALAMA, permettant de financer la croissance de la structure, puis via la création de nouvelles infrastructures de stockage dans le cadre d'un processus de décentralisation, par le renforcement de la logistique de transport. L¿accélération de la digitalisation facilitera la mise en ¿uvre de formations à distance pour garantir l¿effectivité et la performance de cette mise à l¿échelle. Enfin, un appui sera apporté à l¿amélioration du cadre réglementaire et de l¿assurance qualité du médicament, en lien avec les inititaives régionales qui exsitent dans ce domaine. La composante 2 oeuvrera à l¿amélioration de la qualité de l¿offre de soin de santé et de nutrition et à son accès dans les régions de concentration de l¿UE (Action Pacte Vert et Tous Redevables). Il s¿agira d¿articuler les niveaux communautaires, Centres de Santé de Base (CSB) et hopitaux de district pour proposer des soins de santé primaire plus complets tout en les rendant accessibles au plus grand nombre, y compris dans les contextes difficiles avec des mécanismes de prise en charge pour les plus démunis. Cette prise en charge holistique, y compris la prévention de la malnutrition, pourra ouvrir la voie à une opérationnalisation de la CSU à terme. Cet appui à l¿offre de soins fera une place aux approches innovantes (e-health notamment) et les différents niveaux d¿intervention complèteront les programmes d¿autres partenaires présents dans les régions ciblées le cas échéant.La composante 3 permettra d¿agir durablement sur la gouvernance (les resources humaines et financières du système de santé malgache). Ceci permettra de contribuer à sa résilience à travers une meilleure gestion des ressources décentralisées (dotation CSB), mais aussi à une gestion plus efficace au niveau central grâce aux liens avec le Programme Tous Redevables en cours de construction. Cette composante renforcera aussi le rôle de l¿UE : son rôle de plaidoyer pour le maintien d¿une gestion autonome des intrants, de la stratégie de financement de la santé ou de la mise en cohérence des approches communautaires. Enfin, des actions seront mises en ¿uvre pour renforcer la redevabilité du système de santé et le rôle de contrôle de la société civile.

TANGO (Tosika Angovo - Appui à l'électricité) Contract related to: TANGO (Tosika Angovo - Appui à l'électricité) - L'action est présentée dans le cadre de la Team Europe Initiative Energie Renouvelable et Durable et est développée en collaboration avec les partenaires européens en approfondissant l¿avantage comparatif dont ils disposent dans les sous secteurs de l¿électrification interconnectée (urbain) ou décentralisée (rural).La TEI a un impact transformatif sur la croissance, l¿investissement et l¿emploi, en permettant la production, le transport et la distribution d¿une électricité suffisante, de qualité, à moindre coût, tout en contribuant aux engagements climatiques et politiques malgaches. L¿alignement de l¿UE, de la BEI, de la France et de l¿Allemagne sur les objectifs de cette TEI, conjugué au dynamisme des entreprises européennes dans le secteur, constitue une réelle valeur ajoutée et permet une visibilité accrue.Il est proposé que l¿action participe au financement d¿infrastructures de production, transport et distribution d¿électricité. Pour le sous-secteur de l¿électrification urbaine, la production et le transport d¿électricité sont ciblés, en privilégiant i) les projets hydroélectriques et ii) d¿interconnexion électrique structurants. Ces investissements complèteront les actions financées sous le 11ème FED (barrage hydroélectrique de Sahofika (192MW et ligne d¿interconnexion Antsirabe Antananarivo). Le partenariat européen contribuera ainsi à la desserte des principaux centres urbains et à la satisfaction de la demande électrique à long terme. Il contribuera également au retour à l¿équilibre financier de la JIRAMA[1] en abaissant significativement les coûts de production électrique, actuellement grevés par leur dépendance aux produits pétroliersPour le sous-secteur de l¿électrification rurale, à l¿issue d¿un processus compétitif, l¿action financera iii) les subventions d¿investissement nécessaires à un accès au service électrique pour tous, tout en garantissant l¿équilibre financier des opérateurs privés en charge de ce service. Elle appuiera les usages productifs de l¿électricité, en veillant à assurer une complémentarité avec les actions conduites dans le cadre de la Team Europe Initiative Pacte Vert, notamment dans le Grand Sud.Elle contribuera enfin à iv) la mise en ¿uvre de la stratégie d¿électrification rurale, en appuyant la structuration des mécanismes de délégation de service public aux opérateurs privés, en fédérant les acteurs financiers autour de ces mécanismes et en engageant les concessions d¿électrification rurale.Les composantes i), ii), iii) seront mises en ¿uvre par une contribution à la Plateforme d¿Investissement pour l¿Afrique, permise par un endettement de Madagascar qui reste soutenable. La composante iv) sera mise en ¿uvre via une gestion indirecte avec une organisation d¿un Etat MembreLa garantie des prêts souverains de la BEI, (non incluse dans le présent document d¿action), pourra être mobilisée. Une étude prospective en vue de mobiliser les garanties du EFSD+ sera conduite dans le cadre dela composante iv).[1] JIRAMA : Opérateur Etatique, qui a le monopole en milieu urbain du transport et de la distribution d¿électricité et de la production et de la distribution de l¿eau

Activity under preparation Pacte Vert pour Madagascar : Vers une Résilience Durable dans le Grand Sud Contract related to: Pacte Vert pour Madagascar : Vers une Résilience Durable dans le Grand Sud - L¿action PACTE VERT, co-construite avec ECHO et intégrant une approche de NEXUS « Humanitaire-Développement-Paix » (NEXUS H-D-P) envisage de contribuer au renforcement de la résilience de la population et des institutions en charge d¿offrir des services face aux chocs socio-éco-climatiques dans le Grand Sud en vue d¿une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle accrue.L¿action se déploie sur deux zones du Grand Sud de Madagascar : i) une zone dite « zone fragile » qui est affectée régulièrement par des sècheresses de plus en plus rapprochées et aigües qui concernent principalement les quatre districts de l¿Androy et une bonne partie du district d¿Amboasary et de Betroka dans la région Anosy et ii) une zone dénommée « zone verte », frontalière à la première, constituée principalement par une nouvelle aire protégée étendue sur les districts de Tolagnaro et d¿Amboasary (région de l¿Anosy) une zone plus verte et qui donne origine à la Mandrare, la principale rivière du Grand Sud. L¿Action s¿articule autour de 03 objectifs spécifiques qui seront déclinés dans les 2 zones par des activités spécifiques aux différents écosystèmes et aux différents besoins des populations. Ces trois objectifs portent sur la promotion des systèmes alimentaires durables pour une alimentation saine et diversifiée, la préservation et la restauration des paysages et des forêts, des eux et des sols et la prévention et la gestion des risques et catastrophes. Le fil conducteur du projet est la conservation de la ressource en eau que constitue le Mandrare qui a son origine dans la zone verte mais qui arrose la zone fragile. Cette Action valorisera les acquis des actions passées et en cours de l¿UE et de ses états membres dans les domaines suivants : sécurité alimentaire/Nutrition, promotion des chaînes de valeurs, gestion durable des ressources naturels y compris de la biodiversité, promotion de l¿agroécologie et de lutte antiérosive. Des complémentarités sont envisagées avec l¿action Energie (qui privilégie le Grand Sud dans les zones d¿électrification rurale), l¿action Santé qui dédiera une attention particulière à la zone « Grand Sud » autour de la nutrition et l¿action « Tou.te.s responsables et redevables » dans son volet d¿appui à la société civile.La valeur transformative sera recherchée et promue en travaillant davantage sur des aspects qui à ce jour sont souvent peu ou pas pris en compte dans la mise en ¿uvre des programmes de nombreux PTF : Investir davantage sur l¿analyse, l¿anticipation, la gestion et la réponse aux risques, appuyer une coordination locale, favoriser l¿inclusion et la redevabilité envers les populations notamment celles vivant dans des conditions les plus vulnérables, promouvoir des mécanismes de flexibilité afin de s¿adapter, si nécessaire, à l¿évolution du contexte ; le tout en mettant au c¿ur de l¿Action l¿opérationnalisation du NEXUS H-D-P.Une avenant par échange de lettre a été fait le XXX.

Activity under preparation Eau et Assainissement à Toamasina La stratégie Global Gateway cible particulièrement le corridor Toamasina (Tamatave, 2nde ville du pays) ¿ Antananarivo. L¿attractivité économique de ces villes se traduit par une forte croissance démographique urbaine qui se situe entre 4 et 5% par an ces 20 dernières années. Sur la même période, il y a eu très peu d¿investissements sur le secteur de l¿eau potable en milieu urbain, le Gouvernement et les PTF (Partenaires techniques et financiers) ayant privilégié l¿accès à l¿eau en milieu rural. Aussi, l¿écart se creuse entre des besoins liés à la croissance démographique et urbaine, les besoins des usages économiques (industriels et touristiques notamment) et la capacité à les satisfaire du fait de la vétusté des réseaux et d¿un niveau de service dégradé. La soutenabilité de cette croissance est tributaire de services de base adaptés, dont les services d¿électricité, d¿eau et l¿assainissement qui sont particulièrement déficients dans la zone. L¿action complète les projets JIRAMA Water III[1], Volobe[2] et PRIRTEM 1[3], qui ciblent la satisfaction des besoins électriques et en eau potable des deux premières villes du pays, reliées par le principal corridor économique de l¿ile. Elle entend adapter les infrastructures en eau et assainissement pour satisfaire la demande actuelle et répondre aux enjeux de croissance démographique et économique de l¿aire urbaine de Toamasina. [1] JIRAMA Water III : Mise à niveau du système l¿alimentation en eau potable à Antananarivo, 65M¿, cofinancé par la BEI et l¿UE, en cours de mise en ¿uvre[2] Volobe : barrage hydroélectrique de 120MW, situé proche de Toamasina, qui sera réalisé en Partenariat Public Privé, et au financement duquel devraient notamment contribuer la BEI et l¿UE (montant global du projet : 500M¿). [3] PRIRTEM 1 : Projet d¿Interconnexion et de renforcement des réseaux de transport d¿énergie électrique à Madagascar - phase 1 : interconnexion électrique entre les villes de Toamasina et Antananarivo, reliant notamment le barrage de Volobe à ces deux villes, co financé par la BEI, la BAD, KOEXIM et l¿UE (montant global 200M¿). Il permet de mutualiser les moyens de production électriques, renforcés par la construction du barrage de Volobe.

Lobjectif est dappuyer les communes, par le biais des GF, à valoriser leurs potentialités fiscales, notamment foncières, pour améliorer leur autonomie financière et technique"; OS3 : "Faciliter la gestion du territoire communal par la mise en place et opérationnalisation des outils de planification territoriale appropriés : Une meilleure organisation de lutilisation des espaces permet de valoriser les ressources disponibles au niveau des communes au profit du développement. Lobjectif est donc daider les communes à améliorer la gestion de leur territoire en mettant en place un outil de planification territoriale approprié (Schéma dAménagement Communal)"; et OS4 : "Améliorer la gouvernance au niveau des communes dintervention : Il est vain de pérenniser les GF si ces efforts ne saccompagnent pas dune amélioration de la gouvernance locale. Lobjectif est donc daccompagner les communes en favorisant des principes de bonne gouvernance et de transversalité".

D¿veloppement Int¿gr¿, Am¿nagement et Bois Energie phase 2 (DIABE 2) <p class="ql-align-justify"><strong>Objectif global:</strong> Contribuer à l¿amélioration durable de la sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle des ménages ruraux, acteurs et bénéficiaires de la filière bois-énergie, en particulier les femmes et les enfants par l¿augmentation des revenus issus de la filière bois énergie tout en renforçant la préservation de l¿environnement naturel dans les Régions Analamanga, Itasy et Alaotra Mangoro.</p><p>L¿Action déclinera cet objectif général en un <strong>objectif spécifique: Renforcer durablement la filière bois-énergie et la production agricole des acteurs concernés</strong></p><p class="ql-align-justify"><u>SAF-Bois Energie (SAF-BE):</u> Introduction de cultures agricoles dans des parcelles de reboisement à vocation énergétique (plantations d¿<em>Eucalyptus spp</em>, <em>Corymbia maculata</em>, <em>Acacia dealbata</em> et d¿autres espèces de BE). Ces parcelles sont situées sur les sommets et pentes de collines dont les sols, de faible fertilité, ne sont pas destinés en priorité à la production agricole. Des cultures (manioc, patate douce, riz pluvial, haricot, pois de bambara (« <em>voanjobory</em> »), soja, gingembre, ananas) seront conduites dans les interlignes, pendant une ou deux années après la mise en place des arbres, avant que le développement des houppiers ne réduise trop la captation de l¿énergie solaire par les cultures.</p><p>L¿objectif est de mettre en place 500 ha de SAF- Bois-Energie: 300 ha dans la zone d¿Ankazobe, 150 ha sur celle d¿Arivonimamo et 50 ha sur celle d¿Anjozorobe.</p><p class="ql-align-justify"><u>SAF-Agricole</u><strong>: </strong>Association d¿arbres (forestiers, fruitiers et arbustes légumineux) avec des cultures agricoles à hautes valeurs nutritives (riz pluvial, maïs, soja, gingembre, haricot, manioc, patate douce¿). Celles-ci sont localisées classiquement en bas de pente dont les sols sont relativement fertiles (les bas-fonds sont réservés aux cultures irriguées). Les associations seront co-construites avec les acteurs. Mais à titre d¿exemple, et en fonction de l¿expérience des codemandeurs, on peut penser à des modèles d¿installation de ces SAF. Ainsi, il est nécessaire d¿espacer suffisamment les lignes de plantation (e.g. tous les 5 m) pour limiter la concurrence des arbres avec les cultures. Les espèces ligneuses pourront être des fruitiers (agrumes, pêchers, papayers, ¿) plantés à larges espacements, des espèces dont les feuilles / graines sont utilisées en alimentation humaine et/ou en pharmacopée (<em>e.g.</em> moringa) et des espèces légumineuses (tephrosia, pois d¿angole - dont les graines peuvent en plus être consommées - crotalaire, sesbania...) visant à la fois la production de biomasse pour le compost et l¿amélioration de la fertilité des sols. Cette mise en place de SAF complètera les actions conduites par le projet DINAAMICC sur la transition agroécologique de l¿agriculture malgache (EU DESIRA 2022-2025).</p><p class="ql-align-justify">L¿objectif est d¿associer des arbres aux cultures agricoles sur 200 ha: 100 ha dans la zone d¿Ankazobe, 75 ha sur celle d¿Arivonimamo et 25 ha sur celle d¿Anjozorobe.</p>

Activity under preparation Programme d'appui au commerce pour une transformation économique à Madagascar (ACTE) Face aux défis socioéconomiques et environnementaux persistants à Madagascar, le programme ACTE, qui s¿appuie sur les avantages de l¿accord de partenariat économique (APE), entend contribuer à la création et au développement d¿activités économiques durables, permettant à travers la mobilisation des investissements privés et d¿une éventuelle participation de la BEI, d¿améliorer les conditions sociales, économiques et environnementales de la population malgache. L¿objectif est la création d¿emplois décents et respectueux de l¿environnement au sein de Très petites et moyennes entreprises (TPME) plus compétitives, évoluant dans un environnement des affaires plus favorable au développement du commerce de biens et de services à fort impact positif au niveau social et environnemental.Les trois composantes du programme visent conjointement et de manière complémentaire à renforcer la conformité et la compétitivité des filières d¿exportation[1] de Madagascar au regard de l¿évolution du cadre règlementaire et des conditions d¿accès au marché européen (en particulier le devoir de vigilance, mais aussi la RSE, la lutte contre la déforestation, les nouveaux taux de LMR, etc.). Pour la conformité et la compétitivité de ces filières (et des entreprises qui auront besoin d¿appui pour éviter de perdre leur accès au marché européen compte tenu de l¿évolution des règles d¿accès au marché européen), il s¿agit donc d¿accompagner les autorités et le secteur privé malgaches sur les questions de :-Cadre règlementaire et environnement des affaires pour faciliter les exportations (dans ces filières prioritaires) - composante 1.-Capacités et compétitivité des entreprises de ces filières prioritaires en matière de formation professionnelle, services d¿appui au développement des entreprises, et accès au financement - composante 2-Facilitation de l¿accès au marché, renforcement de l¿infrastructure de qualité et de la capacité à respecter les normes de qualité exigées à l¿exportation - composante 3.Compte tenu de la localisation des principales parties prenantes, la majeure partie des activités se déroulera à Antananarivo, dans la région Centre où sont installées la grande majorité des entreprises, dans le Grand Sud et dans les zones de concentration des acteurs des chaînes de valeur qui y seront appuyées.[1] Filières prioritaires, entre autres et de manière non limitative : agribusiness, textile, TIC, tourisme.

Activity under preparation PACTE VERT - CONSORTIUM ONG Contract related to: PACTE VERT - CONSORTIUM ONG - L¿action PACTE VERT, co-construite avec ECHO et intégrant une approche de NEXUS « Humanitaire-Développement-Paix » (NEXUS H-D-P) envisage de contribuer au renforcement de la résilience de la population et des institutions en charge d¿offrir des services face aux chocs socio-éco-climatiques dans le Grand Sud en vue d¿une sécurité alimentaire et nutritionnelle accrue.L¿action se déploie sur deux zones du Grand Sud de Madagascar : i) une zone dite « zone fragile » qui est affectée régulièrement par des sècheresses de plus en plus rapprochées et aigües qui concernent principalement les quatre districts de l¿Androy et une bonne partie du district d¿Amboasary et de Betroka dans la région Anosy et ii) une zone dénommée « zone verte », frontalière à la première, constituée principalement par une nouvelle aire protégée étendue sur les districts de Tolagnaro et d¿Amboasary (région de l¿Anosy) une zone plus verte et qui donne origine à la Mandrare, la principale rivière du Grand Sud. L¿Action s¿articule autour de 03 objectifs spécifiques qui seront déclinés dans les 2 zones par des activités spécifiques aux différents écosystèmes et aux différents besoins des populations. Ces trois objectifs portent sur la promotion des systèmes alimentaires durables pour une alimentation saine et diversifiée, la préservation et la restauration des paysages et des forêts, des eux et des sols et la prévention et la gestion des risques et catastrophes. Le fil conducteur du projet est la conservation de la ressource en eau que constitue le Mandrare qui a son origine dans la zone verte mais qui arrose la zone fragile. Cette Action valorisera les acquis des actions passées et en cours de l¿UE et de ses états membres dans les domaines suivants : sécurité alimentaire/Nutrition, promotion des chaînes de valeurs, gestion durable des ressources naturels y compris de la biodiversité, promotion de l¿agroécologie et de lutte antiérosive. Des complémentarités sont envisagées avec l¿action Energie (qui privilégie le Grand Sud dans les zones d¿électrification rurale), l¿action Santé qui dédiera une attention particulière à la zone « Grand Sud » autour de la nutrition et l¿action « Tou.te.s responsables et redevables » dans son volet d¿appui à la société civile.La valeur transformative sera recherchée et promue en travaillant davantage sur des aspects qui à ce jour sont souvent peu ou pas pris en compte dans la mise en ¿uvre des programmes de nombreux PTF : Investir davantage sur l¿analyse, l¿anticipation, la gestion et la réponse aux risques, appuyer une coordination locale, favoriser l¿inclusion et la redevabilité envers les populations notamment celles vivant dans des conditions les plus vulnérables, promouvoir des mécanismes de flexibilité afin de s¿adapter, si nécessaire, à l¿évolution du contexte ; le tout en mettant au c¿ur de l¿Action l¿opérationnalisation du NEXUS H-D-P.Une avenant par échange de lettre a été fait le XXX.
