Owing to the rapid growth of population, insufficient agricultural production, low off-farm sector production and concomitant developmental changes, the natural resources particularly watersheds are being over exploited to meet the basic needs of the people. Financially as well as biophysically fragile country’s government only cannot bear all the expenses for the watershed rehabilitation planning. Hence, other sectors such as LNGOs, INGOs and communities were the most essential proxies in Ethiopia which participated in watershed rehabilitation. However most watershed rehabilitation projects can hardly be termed a success, as many integrated rural watershed rehabilitation projects failed to deliver lasting (sustainable) benefits. In these watersheds, it was initially noted that, while rehabilitation emerged magnificent change was recorded by investing the vital wealth of money; the land that was ultimately rehabilitated is now ecologically degraded by exploitation. In short, the rehabilitated watersheds were back to their original position in-fact with a more devastation. A number of factors contributed to the failure of rehabilitated watersheds. These include lack of an effective and sustainable benefit to the community, lack of effective ownership and leadership in management with in watersheds and lack of interest (negligence) on the part of farmers in protecting the rehabilitated watersheds. This project is directed towards addressing the gaps identified during the rehabilitation program and later on after the results of the research held in the watersheds. Among these gaps include the need to establish watershed legal institutions that will be used in assessing the program’s development impact to the community and to the environment (health of watershed). This project will try also to see the need to legalize all the program’s experiences and insights among different stakeholders. This project is a pilot project which is going to be implemented in two watersheds, Tsememti &Adinehibe which are located in Eastern Tigray. The infrastructure of the Watersheds was build by the Productive Safety Net Programme of the government .This project will only see the software part of the watershed management .WOLAS is going to give awareness raising training to the households found in the Watershed, facilitate election of watershed Committee, give training to the Committee and facilitate to have a legal entity and help them to design their own by law. At the end of the project the communities will be able to manage their Watersheds through a legalized institution and by law. The result of this project will be shared among our Livelihood partners, as most of them have a natural resource management component in their projects which is vital for its sustainability.

As of recent years HUNDEE is working with women-headed households in building their productive asset—which translates into purchase and distribution of heifers under the traditional ‘Dabaree’ support system. ‘Dabaree’ is one of HUNDEE’s innovative programmes which is based on the traditional support system the central aspect of this project involves purchase and distribution of young heifers to women-headed households with low economic status, and organizing these women into Dabaree groups. The first set of beneficiaries is under obligation to transfer the first-born female calves upon maturity to other women-headed households through ritual celebration. With minimum injection of capital allotted for this programme many women have been reached through transfer of female calves under the rotational aspect of Dabaree. This approach has proved to be the most effective way of promoting secure livelihood for women participating in the programme and their families as well. This project aims to introduce improved variety of heifers (Borana heifers) that can give 15-20 litres of milk/day as compared with the zebu cattle that gives 3-5 litres/day. Improved variety of heifers will be bought and distributed to women-headed household with proven capability for livestock management and/or to women-headed households with potential to care for improved variety to be transferred. As fodder is one of the inputs in the livestock management fodder development will be done through establishment of nursery site to raise and distribute different species of animal fodders. As part of the existing milk collecting center in order to make access to improved animal feed very easy animal feed shop will be establish. It will operate as a commercial unit that makes improved feed available at cost with small marginal profit. One health post with the necessary supplies will be constructed so as to improve the of animal health service. Improved animal health is believed to have significant linkage with livestock productivity and production. The other component of the project is mainly related to the development of five potable water schemes both for human and animal consumption. Each shallow well to be constructed is expected to serve 40 rural households. The last one is a training component focusing on development of business skills, proper management including feeding and animal health, water management and sanitation and hygiene etc. Strong linkage will be established with Land O’Lakes for the capacity building, and relevant government bureaus to access additional opportunities for the project beneficiaries.

The Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat ( ECS) has two wings; Pastoral Activities Commission (PAC) and the Social and Development Commission (SADCO).The latter is overall signatory with Charities and Societies Agency relevant to areas of ECC Social and Development activities including humanitarian assistance on behalf of the 10 Diocesan Secretaries. Up to now ECS has designed two Strategic plans ,the phased out one from 2001-2005 and the second phase from 2007-2011.The first phase strategic plan has endorsed four strategic aims of ECS ; to improve the capacity of DCSs to effectively and efficiently implement socio-pastoral and development programs/projects; to coordinate the activities of DCSs and promote database, information flow and networking among the DCS’s and other agencies; to facilitate smooth implementation of socio-pastoral and development programme and projects and to present and lobby for DCS’s in national and international forum. Based on the strategic plan ECS has designed the first phase Diocesan Capacity Support Plan (2007-2009) that has contributed to up grade the internal organizational system development and improve the planning and implementation capacity of some diocesan offices in particular of those that have undergone the strategic planning process and those who have actively participated in the trainings organized by the program. Based on the outcomes of the first phase, this second phase (2010-2012) project proposal is developed. The focus of the second phase diocesan capacity support program will be to reinforce the impacts of the first phase capacity support program, improved organizational and program capacity of the Diocesan Catholic Secretariats and their institutions as well as the national coordination office, support the establishment of newly erected dioceses/vicariates and enhance intra and inter diocesan learning and knowledge management The major activities include evaluation of the first phase program impacts, in-built on-going monitoring of the impacts of the program, strategic planning and organizational systems development and special support for newly erected diocesan offices, popularize and expand knowledge management and learning alliance and enhance the understanding and application of new concepts, approaches and working culture. Guidelines will be developed to include global issues such as climate, peace and migration in the Catholic Education system. The strategy of project implementation includes full-fledged evaluation of the first phase program implementation and its impacts, conduct need assessment of each Diocese, in-depth discussion and consensus building with the diocesan offices and in-house preparation and mobilization of the ECS technical staff, close monitoring of the impacts of the program and strong coordination and follow up of the activities implementation. The second phase project expected to result in effective implementation of the strategic plan for program and organizational systems development, enhance the understanding and application of the principles and tools of project cycle management, develop transparent and credible organizational systems to enhance credibility and run quality programs that can readily win funding. To ensure accountability, track the progress of the overall capacity support program and also assesses its effectiveness and efficiency, ECS PME unit will develop tools for monitoring of the program implementation, outcomes and impacts on improving the technical competence of the diocesan offices in improving the quality of projects plan and implementation. Furthermore, separate, detailed and comprehensive proceedings will be produced for each training and workshop and communicated to all stakeholders. All in all 11 Diocesan are going to benefit from the project including the newly established Hosanna Catholic Secretariat.

A joint study made in 2003 indicated, “A considerable number of AIDS orphans are expelled from their parents home following the death of their parents” (MICU, 2003,p.11) Most wills in Ethiopia continue to be expressed orally, at the last hours of a dying person, usually to a “religious or spiritual father “, and may well not be enforced. Accordingly, this project aims to encourage more formal will writing, so that guardianship arrangements can be made in advance of the death of parents, and so that the property rights of orphans can be protected. A series of review discussion made at the end of 2009 indicated that the pilot project, which was implemented with ACS and OSSA, has been successful in achieving the expected outcomes set at the beginning of the project. At the end of the 2009, 30 % and 33 % of households reached through ACS and OSSA respectively prepared their Wills. This is more than the target set at the beginning i.e at least 25% will prepare will. The review also indicated there are many Idir members who are convinced but are undergoing preparation for Will writing such as identifying guardians for their children. Idirs are traditional community based funeral associations that have been involved in development in the last 2 decades Moreover, the pilot project was successful in terms of producing materials to be used in the future including training manual, education packages for mass sensitization and house to house education, and templates to be used in preparing a will. A documentary film, describing the major achievements of the project, is being produced for disseminating the learning for a wider audience at national and international level. Based on the learning recorded so far, this project tries to reach a total of 9,000 new households in the next two years by each organisation. It is estimated that this effort will at least benefit 27,000 children that are living under these households. The project is also intended to involve many other organisations including Donors.

The severe unemployment situation has forced the majority of the unemployed to seek employment in the informal sector, 70% of whose actors constitutes women. Thus, WISE has made its focus of interventions on poor self-employed/unemployed women. WISE believes that addressing the problems of its target beneficiaries need a holistic approach. This is because the issues surrounding the low economic, social and political situation of the target groups have their roots in different challenges that come from different angles. Therefore, WISE has framed its interventions to the economic betterment of its target women through Organizing and Institutions Development, Enterprise Development and Learning and Strategic Partnership. Accordingly, this three-year plan and budget focuses on the overall institutional development of the Organization and implementation of activities related to the economic advancement of poor self-employed women in Addis Ababa as per the Strategic and Business Plan of the Organization. The programme will not only serve the many thousands of poor girls and women in Addis Ababa but also many thousands women outside WISE. This will be achieved through the strategy of Learning and Strategic Partnership, which will foster the replication of the good practices of WISE by like-minded organizations in different parts of the country. The country is also continuously undergoing through an unprecedented inflation since 2006. This has created a severe competition between the actors in the private sector, posing huge challenges to the micro-level business people. Moreover, imports of foreign products (mainly from China) make it tougher for local producers to compete in the market. In order to mitigate these challenges, WISE will continue providing capacity building support (sustainable access to vital facilities and information, extensive training in relevant subjects, insurance, business development services) to the women micro-entrepreneurs so that they are competitive in the market.

Nowadays the prevalence has been increasing at an alarming rate in the rural areas of the country. The spread of HIV has become increasing particularly in the pastoralist areas of the country. This is mainly because: Firstly, the seasonal mobility from place to place searching for pasture and water for their livestock and migration of people to such places as towns, mines and other places in search of employment or other means of survival forced them to stay away from home for a long time and this situation exposes them to such habits as drinking alcohol, chewing 'chat' (local stimulant leaf), etc creating conducive environment for extra-marital sexual relations which may entail the spread of HIV/AIDS. Secondly, the local culture tolerates the practice of having lovers besides husbands or wives. It isn’t unusual for a man or a woman to have a Jaala or Jaalto (male or female lovers). There are other aspects of the local cultural practices that exacerbate the spread of HIV/AIDS. Among these, one can site polygamy. Another factor is the practice of spouse inheritance. Men usually marry the widows of their brothers or close relatives, as women are not entitled to inheritance. Such cultural practices create fertile ground for the spread of HIV/AIDS by encouraging extra-marital sexual relationships. Thirdly, as the project area is close to the Kenyan border, there is significant cross-border movement of people for marketing, mobile grazing, and other social reasons. While this is very useful for sustaining the livelihood of the local people, it is, nevertheless, conducive for the spread of HIV/AIDS. Finally, the low level of awareness of the local people about the mode of transmission and effects of HIV/AIDS, make the people highly vulnerable to the disease. This is particularly true for the women folks, whose awareness tends to be limited. As a means of addressing those problems a project aiming at building the local capacities for preventing and responding to HIV/AIDS has been implemented in few woredas since 2007 through the support from Trócaire. This project is the continuation of the last project to further consolidate the achievements gained so far and to expand the good practices observed to help prevent and control the spread of HIV infection in pastoralist areas of Borana. Therefore, the current project is designed for three years (2010-2012) to be implemented by Action for Development (AFD) in Dire, Miyo, Dillo, Dhas and Yabello districts in Borana zone of Oromia Regional state in southern Ethiopia. In summary the project is focusing on strengthening awareness creation through establishing and strengthening different clubs or community mobilization, HIV and AIDS prevention and provision of care and support for PLWHA and OVC which is meant to consolidate the previous initiatives. Moreover the project wants to make use of the opportunities that the GADDA leaders can leaders can play in reducing the prevalence of HIV/AIDS in their area. The ‘Gadaa1 system is a traditional institution governing the political, economical, social and cultural aspect of the Oromo people of which the Borana people belongs to. The ‘GADDA’ system is still capable to mobilize the Borana community towards common goals, including the prevention of the spread of HIV/AIDS.

In the process they have been convinced that despite existence of few traces of downward accountability in programming and implementation, they have not managed to institutionalize downward accountability in the design, planning, implementation and monitoring of projects and programs. Hundee is in the process of developing a five-year strategic plan and Performance Impact Monitoring (PIM) system based on Total Organization Approach. The new strategic direction and organizational commitment they have for communities’ empowerment underpins their preparedness to embrace downward accountability as a centrepiece in all HUNDEE’s future engagements. Therefore, this project intended to pilot the downward exercise in six rural localities of Wuchale Woreda where the joint office livelihood project is being implemented so as to link the work of livelihoods and civil society development programme. Moreover the downward accountability will be exercised in another six localities of Lume Woreda where HUNDEE has active presence through implementation of livelihoods and civil society development project like promotion of cereal bank to economically empower the poor, social accountability, civic education, organizing and supporting women under self-help groups and environment education. As HUNDEE exercise downward accountability and having a desire to become a robust and learning organization they are planning to developed PIM system that henceforth requires program/project reporting at outcome and impact level. This obliges all functionaries of the organization to adopt different skills. Therefore, in introducing new strategic direction HUNDEE calls upon its entire staff members to align their behaviour, attitudes, work ethics, etc, to the vision and mission of the organization and contribute their own share to HUNDEE’s being and becoming a robust, conscious, and learning organization. Therefore, the Joint Office will support to train the entire staff on PIM and its tools, strategic planning and on different tools of gender and HIV/AIDS mainstreaming, compilation of most significant change stories, data collection and analysis and outcome reporting. This project also supports the partner to cover its core staff and contribute to part of their administration costs.

It also aims to address the challenge of institutionalising the successful results of pilot projects, through a structured arrangement between the project implementer, local government and other NGOs. The expected changes are enhanced community capacity in project cycle management with 6 watersheds and other community user groups established and functioning effectively, construction of water harvesting infrastructures and diversification of agricultural production, diversified and increased off-farm income for targeted communities mainly for women headed households and landless youth and enhancement of the project local government staffs, with lessons learned “institutionalised” and activities replicated elsewhere in Tigray. The project is a three year EC-co financed (led by SCIAF), which is found in the second year of the project life. The budget allocated for the fourth year will be used to consolidate the project. The financial contribution for CAFOD for the first year, i.e. 2009/10, didn’t need an approval because we used the remaining balance from Trocaire interim project budget of year 2009 that amounts to £21,124.00. So, the project has been implemented for the first year and is currently in the second year.

Tigray, one of the worst affected regions, has some 81,700 PLWH in 2009 (2.9% of adults) of whom 75% live in urban areas, 60% are women and 6% children (reflecting national figures). 14% of Tigray’s estimated 321,447 orphans are orphaned by AIDS. HIV prevalence in Tigray is expected to rise to 3.1% by 2010. Ongoing challenges in HIV response in Ethiopia include insufficient availability of quality HIV treatment and care services and low VCT coverage (indicating probable under-estimated HIV prevalence). Only 20% of adults and 13% of children living with HIV receive ART. PMTCT is inadequate, with 14,093 HIV positive births in 2008. PLWH have limited income generating opportunities due to illness, discrimination, lack of access to education, training or credit. Stigma and discrimination limit PLWH’s opportunities to access employment, education, housing, services, and other social activities. Only 11% of women and 17% of men in Tigray express accepting attitudes on four measures of stigma [2005 Demographic and Health Survey]. Based on its five year strategic plan, to develop this project, ADCS undertook a participatory assessment in August 2009, with PLWH and their families’ central to the process. Focus group discussions were held with PLWH, volunteer care givers and ADCS staff, in-depth interviews were held with key informants from the woreda Health Office, regional HAPCO and Catholic Church Clinics. Data was validated during a two-day workshop (Adigrat, August 2009) with 42 participants including members of Associations of PLWH, religious leaders (Orthodox, Muslim, Catholic), anti-AIDS club members, volunteer care givers, government sector offices and ADCS staff. Vulnerability factors identified include : • Increased rural-urban mobility of people, particularly women, increasing their vulnerability to physical and sexual violence and transactional sexual practices; • Expanding construction works leading to increased youth migration for daily labour; • High military concentration living near communities; sex workers are numerous in military areas; • Young women, particularly university/high school students, engaging in transactional sex for money/benefits; • Market places/days are hotspot moments as young people from rural areas stay overnight in towns. • There is a lack of adequate knowledge/skills regarding risk factors and reducing vulnerability, and poverty is an aggravating factor. Only 13% of women and 37% of men aged 15-49 in Tigray have comprehensive knowledge about HIV/AIDS. The key target groups who will directly benefit from the project are people living with HIV, Orphan and Vulnerable Children(OVC),Sex workers, other marginalized vulnerable men and women, and ADCS’s and partners’ staff and dependents. All in all about 9,800 target groups will directly benefit from holistic care and support services. In addition about 30,000 community members will be reached with target specific IEC/BCC tools.

This prevalence estimate does not, however, tell the full story of the epidemic because the majority of infections occur in urban settings. Urban Adult HIV prevalence and incidence was 7.7% and 2.04% respectively in 2010 with an estimated 62% of total PLHIV in the country residing in urban areas, while rural HIV prevalence was 0.9% in 2010, which accounts for 38% of total PLHIV population in the nation. Among urban settings, the epidemic varies greatly from 2.4% in Somali region to 9.9% in Tigray, 10.7% in Amhara and 10.8% in Afar regions. Rural HIV epidemic also varies significantly from region to region with rural HIV prevalence ranging from 0.4% in Somali region to 1.5% in Amhara region. Addis Ababa and four regions: Amhara, Tigray, Oromia, and SNNPR account for 93.4% of the total PLHAs population in the country. In 2010, at national level, the number of HIV positive pregnant women was estimated to be 90,311 and about 14,276 babies were expected to be born HIV positive. In 2010, there were an estimated 79,871 children less than 15 years’ old living with HIV, out of which 26,053 needed ART. In Addis Ababa, in 2010, an estimated of 210,306 people are living with HIV, the prevalence rate being 9.2%. Besides, there were an estimated of 22,214 new HIV infections and 5,948 annual deaths in 2009. There are 70,097 HIV positive people in need of Antiretroviral Treatment as of 2010. Having considered the above context and making brief additional analysis in the selected target area, DoC Addis has identified the following strategic priorities: 1. Reduce sexual transmission of HIV in the targeted community by strengthening behavioral change programs, interventions and curricula for different groups with a focus on those more vulnerable to and at higher risk of HIV infection. Different modules like stop AIDS, faithful house and youth action kit will be used targeting the most at risk people including young people and young women.. 2. Reduce mother-to-child transmission of HIV in the targeted community through strengthening the capacity of behavioral change communication agents at all levels on community mobilization for PMTCT service utilization. Encouraging male involvement in PMTCT program will also be considered. 3. Enable people living with HIV and AIDS to lead healthy and productive lives in the targeted area by iimproving the income of people living with HIV through involvement in income generating activities, improving ART adherence rate, promoting hygiene and sanitation, nutritional and other health care practices. All this will be done through adequate involvement of people living with HIV/AIDS. 4. Enable orphans and vulnerable children to develop and thrive in a safe and healthy environment in the targeted community. Through:-Involving children, family, and community in OVC program development, implementation and evaluation; addressing and satisfying the individual needs of children and their families by conducting assessments and developing care plans for each child and family; building the capacity of children and caregivers, especially those regularly in contact with children, to provide emotional and social support (such as peer-to-peer, teacher-to-child, or parent-to-child). • Sensitizing communities on the right of children to protection. • Making market-driven economic strengthening opportunities and services available and accessible to families. 5. Improve access to quality laboratory service by providing general laboratory services based on the needs of the target community; providing HIV counseling and testing service and improve VCT service quality; providing CD4 count and ART-related biochemistry laboratory tests; creating strong referral and counter referral linkage with health care facilities.

This area is one of the drought prone and food insecure areas in the Region. According to the rapid needs assessment done by ADCS in the two Peasant Associations poor crop and livestock production and productivity; dependency on rain-fed cultivation and erratic pattern of rainfall; less income opportunity of the community other than crop production; Natural Resource Degradation and Poor Management of Existing Natural Resources and shortage of potable water were identified. Based on these facts, the main goal of the project is to contribute to the attainment of food security in a sustainable manner for the community of Arato and Maytsedo PAs of the woreda/district. The project will focus on building water reservoir and irrigation canals, provision of training on different agricultural practice including agribusiness; rehabilitation of galleys by constructing check dams and enriching the existing closure areas and introduction of cut and carry livestock feeding system; diversify the income opportunity of targeted beneficiaries by providing Shoats, improved poultry breeds, Begait Cows(improved local diary cows ) and bee-colonies; and construction of four boreholes and three hand dug wells. The project is a three year project and it is expected that 2660 HH are going to benefit directly from the project.

Youth and women are among the main priority groups within the DoC programs that are surrounded with multifaceted socio economic challenges. In general there have been insufficient employment opportunities for the youth in spite of the various efforts made by different stakeholders including the government. Employment levels vary strongly by location, gender, education and age. Accordingly, DoC will continue to adopt the following strategies to address the socio-economic challenges of the youth: • Promote all rounded development to the targeted youth where income generating initiatives will be the center of focus through creating multiple employment opportunities by which the youth will become not only economically and socially strong but also healthy and responsible. • Promote and ensure access for the unemployed youth to appropriate skill training that reflects the economic and social needs of the youth. The training programs should be implemented through innovative methods in order to increase their practical skills. • DOC will work to develop and implement strategies for creating alternative employment opportunities and provide required training to young men and women in close collaboration with relevant Government and NGOs, including representatives and associations of the youth. • Promote the participation of young people in project identification and problem assessment, design, implementation and follow-up. • Promote their strengths, through recognizing the inherent potential of youth, based upon their access to assets and their coping and adaptive strategies developed to deal with life’s challenges. Though women constitute almost half of the entire population in Tigray, with a significant contribution to the economic development, the majority of them do not enjoy the fruits of development as equally as their male counterparts. Women’s powerlessness often increases in extreme poverty, while men most often have the decision making powers over the household resources, regarding the distribution of income, assets and concerning opportunities, for example, employment, benefits entitlements, etc. Strategies adopted by DoC to address these challenges include: • Continue women promotion activities by capitalizing on past experience . • Promoting more equitable relationships within the family to improve the position of the most vulnerable members: women and children. The roles of the different family members need to be discussed and addressed. • Enhance the capacity of women entrepreneurs to become competent and self-reliant in the area of business and marketing by providing them with adequate training skills in their specialization. • Address the practical needs of women by enhancing the capacity and capability of women to adopt sustainable income generation activities through explicit attempts to include the poorest women. • Promote an improved access to resources and to services, improved skills and reduced discrimination, through adequate assessment of the wider development opportunities for supporting women • Promote gender mainstreaming where women’s and men’s concerns and experiences are integral to the design implementation, monitoring and evaluation of all programs of DOC.

DOC is well aware that HIV/AIDS is a problem and a major threat to all of the other programs of DOC, as its impacts are far-reaching. To this end, HIV/AIDS has been prioritized as the number one critical issue that DOC needs to consider in the five years strategic period. Based on the lessons learned from previous interventions, DoC identified the following strategies and directions: - Empower community based associations, structures and families to take forward prevention, care and support initiatives - Strengthen marketable and cost-effective income generating schemes to sustainably support orphans, PLWHAs and affected families - Improve the quality of life of PLWHAs, OVCs, and affected families through providing holistic psychosocial, spiritual, and nursing care - Emphasize risk reduction through comprehensive intervention on behavioral change communication with a focus on youth and young adults - Strengthen the expansion and integration of prevention, care and support, voluntary counseling and testing, prevention of mother to child transmission, referral, and other services - Mainstream Gender and HIV/AIDS at all levels and programs of DOC - Develop the technical and managerial capacity of DOC and its HIV/AIDS staff, in particular, to effectively manage HIV/AIDS activities - Work and advocate for commendable networking and co-ordination with other civil society organizations and government institutions working on HIV/AIDS Improved livelihood of Orphans and Vulnerable Children 46% of Tigray’s population are children under 18 years of age. According to secondary information sources from regional office of rehabilitation and social affairs, there are about 36,028 children (2005-2006 estimates) in 39 weredas of the region who are marginalized and lack basic needs. The number of street children in the region has also exceeded 12,000.The internal and external environment analysis during the strategic planning process revealed that DOC need to deepen its work considering the magnitude of the problem. The organisation has supported Strategies/Directions • Strengthen and emphasize family based support through reinforcing systems which build up on community’s skill, economic situation and attitude to take care of orphans and vulnerable children (especially street children) • Promote discussions and counseling services between children and their families/care takers to recuperate the children’s normal social life and bestow love and a sense of responsibility among them. • Improve OVCs access to education and other social services via supporting minimal but basic materials, strengthening relationships between children and their school administration, improving their school competencies through tutorial and library services, etc… • Promote self-help programs, vocational and skill training, and other income generating approaches • Empower OVCs through establishing different clubs and providing psychosocial, legal, and spiritual support • Advocate the strengthening of networking with other civil society organizations and seek more effective coordination The partner has already achieved a great deal in the first 3 years of the strategic plan period and details have been captured in period reports submitted to the Joint Office which we also shared to CAFOD Head Office upon request.

A joint study made in 2003 indicated, “A considerable number of AIDS orphans are expelled from their parents home following the death of their parents” (MICU, 2003,p.11) Most wills in Ethiopia continue to be expressed orally, at the last hours of a dying person, usually to a “religious or spiritual father “, and may well not be enforced. Accordingly, this project aims to encourage more formal will writing, so that guardianship arrangements can be made in advance of the death of parents, and so that the property rights of orphans can be protected. A series of review discussion made at the end of 2009 indicated that the pilot project, which was implemented with ACS and OSSA, has been successful in achieving the expected outcomes set at the beginning of the project. At the end of the 2009, 30 % and 33 % of households reached through ACS and OSSA respectively prepared their Wills. This is more than the target set at the beginning i.e at least 25% will prepare will. The review also indicated there are many Idir members who are convinced but are undergoing preparation for Will writing such as identifying guardians for their children. Idirs are traditional community based funeral associations that have been involved in development in the last 2 decades Moreover, the pilot project was successful in terms of producing materials to be used in the future including training manual, education packages for mass sensitization and house to house education, and templates to be used in preparing a will. A documentary film, describing the major achievements of the project, is being produced for disseminating the learning for a wider audience at national and international level. Based on the learning recorded so far, this project tries to reach a total of 9,000 new households in the next two years by each organisation. It is estimated that this effort will at least benefit 27,000 children that are living under these households. The project is also intended to involve many other organisations including Donors.

Levels of awareness and skills in HIV mainstreaming among the staff working at the Joint office of CAFOD/Trócaire/SCIAF and partner staff members were varied and additional efforts were needed to develop common understanding. Thus, the mainstreaming component of the HIV program of the Joint Office has a focus on providing capacity building training to staff and partners, coordinating and leading the HIV mainstreaming interventions while the relevant responsibilities are equally shared and assumed by all relevant programme and management staff. The Gender Audit conducted by the Joint Office recently revealed that there is considerable gap in knowledge, attitude and practice (skills) of gender mainstreaming among partners and the Joint Office staff. On the different aspects of the how the joint office and partner organizations can develop and deliver their programming and take up strategic entry points for gender mainstreaming the Gender Audit, among others, included the following Recommendations: • With regards to commitment and accountability, there is a need to ensure that Gender mainstreaming should be one of the review parameters for review meetings so as to monitor the progress and identify gaps for intervention. • Organizations who have integrated gender into their strategic plans should translate it into measurable operational plans. Moreover, organizational reports should incorporate progress and achievement of gender mainstreaming using measurable quantitative and qualitative data. Evidence of partners doing gender analyzes during project design shall be reported on. • In relation to Suitable Policies, Strategies, Tools and Guidelines, Policies and strategies must be formulated where they are not there; Simple and easy to understand gender mainstreaming tools, standards and guidelines must be developed, popularized and made available to users; Administrative manuals such as performance evaluation, job description and position description and staff selection should be gender sensitive. Capacity of partners’ staff needs to be enhanced to enable them to undertake gender mainstreaming, they should receive appropriate training to ensure that their staff have the required information and analytical skills; Increase awareness of the importance and potential for increased effectiveness from gender mainstreaming by encouraging senior management participation in activities, such as capacity-building workshops and other activities; The Gender Focal Person should be encouraged to participate fully in decision making processes of gender mainstreaming activities and to assume leadership within the organizations in order to put in place the necessary mechanisms to carry out gender mainstreaming more systematically while in the long run Gender mainstreaming needs to be the responsibility of all relevant program staff. This may require more consistent capacity building of Gender Focal Persons to ensure that they have both the information and analytical skills to demonstrate the importance of this approach to implementing the organizations' mandates; Unlike the fact that most partners have been involved in addressing the practical gender needs that focus on immediate and basic needs of men and women, the focus of the Joint Office will be on Strategic Gender Needs to address the following issues as far as the legal environment allows : interventions to changing the situation of marginalised men and women to reach social equality, addressing by consciousness raising, social mobilisation for gender equality reconstruction, addressing and challenging gender based power/control relations, involving women and men as agents of change. During 2009/10, a total of 88 Program staff members coming from 15 partners were given training on Gender and HIV mainstreaming in the four round training organised by the joint office using the CAFOD tool. The first round training was facilitated to 13 partners included in the livelihood and HIV programs, which was given with the support of the CAFOD HIV corporate strategist. Some support was also obtained from CAFOD Gender Advisor in providing materials that were used in the training. Following that an additional two days training on HIV and Gender mainstreaming was given by the Joint Office HIV Program Officer to 4 partner organisations program staff including ADCS, WISE, OSRA and HUNDEE Similarly a two days training was also given to the Joint office program and Admin staff last year with the aim of building their capacity to push the HIV and Gender mainstreaming agenda within the Joint office and partner organisations’ program and internal organisational practices. Following that relevant staff members have conducted a series of discussions to refine the HIV and Gender outcome statement and develop output and outcome level indicators that would serve as a tool during the course of implementation, monitoring and evaluation. Consensus has also been reached that program leaders/focal persons will be responsible for following up the Gender and HIV mainstreaming activities within their program with occasional back stopping support form the HIV program Officer. To this end, activities included under this summary were planned by the HIV program Officer in consultation with relevant program staff members so as to enhance the capacity of partners to mainstream Gender and HIV. Finally, a two day and half day, gender training has been organized at the office conducted by the CAFOD gender advisor and primarily building the gender related capacity and skills from the Ethiopia programme staff. Hence this PSGA aims to set aside particular budget to take forward some of the skill development needs from partner identified during the number of trainings carried out so far.

EGT families, who live under such difficult environment, have also a burden of carrying for twins and triplets that make them extremely vulnerable to unexpected downturns or shocks, which occur frequently. The birth of twins or triplets is one such shock and often results in increased demands on household resources and loss of a mother’s income. Chronic illness and death of a breadwinner results in further disastrous results. Children live in a harsh environment characterized by poverty, lack of educational opportunities, domestic and physical child abuse and alcoholism. HIV/AIDS prevalence in Addis Ababa is one of the highest in the country at 7 % and many Gemini families are at greater risk due to poverty which leads them to practice high risk behaviours. Women headed households are particularly disadvantaged. There is no available data within the Gemini families to suggest that HIV prevalence is higher in such households but the poverty under which many live raise the chance of high risk behaviours. The number of PLWHA’s under Gemini’s care and support program and the number of child headed families are sadly growing rapidly and it is evident that HIV/AIDS is dramatically affecting Gemini families: parents are dying leaving households headed by children. We are at present supporting 124 people living with HIV/AIDS. Gemini works at individual and family level to mitigate these problems actively working in increasing awareness and working on ways to reduce high risk behaviours. Unfortunately due to the harsh funding situation in 2009/2010, Gemini was forced to close its primary health care clinic. Despite available health services in the city, the very poor often have difficulty in accessing care. Over the course of this proposal, information will be gathered as to whether Gemini families became less able to access care following the closure of the clinic. Gemini Foundation is working on preventive health care services for the whole family, including lessons in better health and hygiene, HIV/AIDS prevention, care and support. Over the two years project period, Gemini aims to address families within its program and also target selected kebeles for youth outreach activities, working with other local partners. In order to define the baseline of knowledge, attitudes and practices, Gemini will carry out a KAP survey on an identified number of Gemini families. In addition to the families a survey among 720 of its young people aged from 12-18 years will be undertaken. Based on the results of the survey a behaviour change communication program will be developed addressing the identified risk behaviours. Based on the results of the KAP carried out in the identified communities, Adugna Dance Theatre Group will take part in an integrated community out reach on a youth-focused HIV/AIDS prevention program; in addition Gem TV will use video production and work with communities in order to highlight issues raised. Through different activities that encompasses young people and vulnerable women in the community the program will foster change, increase self esteem and confidence which will translate into the ability to address problems within their lives; thus they will be more effective change agents and catalysts of change within their own community. It has also IGA/schemes that could support 150 PLWHAs.

About 20,000 beneficiaries exist every year and the number could significantly increase in unusual drought years. The area has increasingly becoming vulnerable and hit by climate change hazards – extreme drought characterized by unpredicted and significantly reduced rainfall both in terms of intensity and distribution. The decrease and unreliable rainfall as resulted in low and declining agricultural production, and ultimately continued and intensified food insecurity. Moreover, the livestock, which comprises the major asset base and livelihood of the community in the Woreda and its surroundings, has been damaged due the prevalence of trypanosomiasis that is caused by Tsetse fly. These problems and challenges had been identified and ASE with the financial support from the EU delegation and Trócaire/CAFOD/SCIAF, has been implementing an Integrated Food Security Programme in Amaro Special woreda since April 2001 in two phases. The last phase which focuses on the consolidation of the previous achievements is coming to an end on September 30th 2010 Afte nine months of no cost extension The interventions made under these projects have significantly contributed to increase agricultural (crop and livestock) production and productivities. Though there have been efforts in the second phase of the program to carry out value chain studies on some selected agricultural products, unfortunately, these improvements in agricultural production have not been linked with market so that there remain to create adequate and reliable market access to trade surplus produces and further stimulate investment in smallholder farming. The major marketable products in the area are identified to include: coffee, Bulla, cassava, cereals and live animals. A well designed and functioning agricultural marketing will increase income to producers; provides incentives to smallholders for more investment in agribusiness and competitiveness as well as increase supply of agricultural produces to local, regional, national and international markets. Market oriented agricultural production has the potential to adequately and sustainable address food insecurity and stimulate economic growth. Therefore, a market intervention is the missing link to take advantage of the supply side opportunities created in the past. Moreover, the farmers’ institution, in order to sustain and growing into a viable development actor in the locality, needs permanent source of income in which it play multiple roles in supply of inputs to the farmers, in the promotion of fair trade that directly benefit the producers and in participating in the intervention of needy development activities. Thus, this project is developed to intensively work on market development and scaling up the successes achieved so far in controlling the prevalence of Tsetse fly.

The project will augment the ongoing Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in Ethiopia by enabling at least 8,807* vulnerable people to make sustainable improvements in agricultural production and productivity, and to increase their incomes through the development of environmentally sustainable value chains. Soil erosion will be stabilised and degraded land will be made productive. At least 200 households will be provided with potable water near their homes, and a further 1,983 school students will benefit from a potable water supply in their schools. Communitybased learning activities will help farmers to find solutions to the challenges they face, and facilitate more inclusive community-based development.

It will be implemented in Arba Minch Zuria district of Gamo Gofa Zone, which is in the southern part of Ethiopia. The project will specifically target women and young people, ensuring that households headed by women are prioritised in project activities and ensuring that women occupy at least half the chairs at meetings where decisions are made about control over and access to resources. Agricultural productivity will be enhanced through the provision of improved seed varieties for grains, vegetables and fruit trees alongside training and accompaniment for farmers. This will be supported by the introduction of water harvesting techniques for irrigation. Income diversification will include the provision of livestock (cattle, small ruminants and poultry) and the introduction of beekeeping. The livestock inputs will be strengthened by the provision of basic animal health services and fodder plantation. To promote independence and sustainability, beneficiaries will be given access to savings and credit schemes, including the ‘savings and internal lending in the community’ (SILC) approach, and will include functional adult literacy and numeracy training specifically targeting women. Income generation groups will also receive training in book keeping, marketing and business management. The natural resource environment will be protected through training and awareness raising on issues such as fodder and rangeland management and compost making. The introduction of tree seedlings for plantation and the introduction of low cost energy saving stoves will contribute to a reduction in deforestation. The project is the result of detailed discussions with the Holy Ghost Fathers representing the Catholic Church in Gamo Gofa Zone. It has been developed from the findings of an evaluation of a recently concluded project implemented by this partner in the same geographical area, including a detailed community consultation. The project has a particular focus on empowerment of community members to take responsibility for project activities and more generally their own food security needs. It exemplifies a number of interesting approaches and good practices, particularly in income generation, savings and credit activities, which could be used as learning initiatives with our other partners through the Joint Office Sustainable Livelihoods Programme in Ethiopia.

This prevalence estimate does not, however, tell the full story of the epidemic because the majority of infections occur in urban settings. Urban Adult HIV prevalence and incidence was 7.7% and 2.04% respectively in 2010 with an estimated 62% of total PLHIV in the country residing in urban areas, while rural HIV prevalence was 0.9% in 2010, which accounts for 38% of total PLHIV population in the nation. Among urban settings, the epidemic varies greatly from 2.4% in Somali region to 9.9% in Tigray, 10.7% in Amhara and 10.8% in Afar regions. Rural HIV epidemic also varies significantly from region to region with rural HIV prevalence ranging from 0.4% in Somali region to 1.5% in Amhara region. Addis Ababa and four regions: Amhara, Tigray, Oromia, and SNNPR account for 93.4% of the total PLHAs population in the country. In 2010, at national level, the number of HIV positive pregnant women was estimated to be 90,311 and about 14,276 babies were expected to be born HIV positive. In 2010, there were an estimated 79,871 children less than 15 years’ old living with HIV, out of which 26,053 needed ART. In Addis Ababa, in 2010, an estimated of 210,306 people are living with HIV, the prevalence rate being 9.2%. Besides, there were an estimated of 22,214 new HIV infections and 5,948 annual deaths in 2009. There are 70,097 HIV positive people in need of Antiretroviral Treatment as of 2010. The counselling and social service centre was established and run by MMM for more than 17 years before Brother Of Good works took over it in 2010.The centre maintained most of its staff except two top management members that joined from Brother of Good works. Recently, considering the context described above and its internal strength and weakness, the centre developed its five year strategic plan(2011-16) with the following objectives: Strategic Objective 1: To expand the geographic focus of the centre, the target groups and the range of services offered from the centre A strong feeling came from staff and other stakeholders that there was need to expand the programme. The SWOT analysis also indicated the need for expansion. The feeling was that the programme has been in Arada sub city only for a long period of time. On the other hand, BGW is in the process of starting the management of a new health centre built by the Archdiocese of Addis Ababa, which presents an opportunity for BGWCSSC to develop HIV and AIDS and other health related activities in the community. As this expansion will use the existing facilities at the health centre and the infrastructure of the BGW, it will not entail additional administrative set up or running costs. Strategic Objective 2: To develop an approach of working with the target group so as to empower them to address key challenges that face them A key element of the mission of the BGW is the need to empower the marginalised groups they work with. Responses from clients and other outside stakeholders indicated that there was a need to move towards a more empowerment model of support. The approach is to move more towards a model of working with the people rather than for the people. Clients will discuss with centre staff and other stakeholders if appropriate in deciding how best to work with the client. The focus will also be on providing information to clients and groups on support that is available, where and how they can access it. It builds on the saying – information is power. Already the Community Based rehabilitation (CBR) programme is using this approach so other programmes can build on their experience. Strategic Objective 3: To work in a collaborative manner with various stakeholders to enable clients and groups achieve their individual plans One of the major successes of the last strategic plan was the collaboration built between the centre and the Ministry of Health in the provision of ARTs through Ras Desta Hospital and St Paul’s Hospital. The centre prepares people living with HIV and AIDS and who are suitable for ART and then refers them to the two hospitals for treatment. The centre then follows up those whom they have referred to ensure that they are adhering to their treatment. . To help in this approach, the centre will regularly attend relevant network groups and have a service mapping unit which will: • Develop a service map of various organisations and Government ministries; • Prepare a directory based on this map; • Provide a copy of the directory to all the relevant staff to use when discussing the stakeholders analysis with clients and groups; • Update yearly this directory Strategic Objective 4: To Generate More Financial Resources Locally On the average the centre generated 3.8% of income locally over the last three years while the peck year was 2009, which was mainly due to the fact that St Marys Laboratory was part of the centre and a lot of money was generated from the services provided. The St Mary Laboratory was handed back at the end of 2009 to the Daughters of Charity. It is anticipated that by the end of this strategic plan 10% of income will be generated in country with a short term target of 3% by the end of 2012.

Recent reports from the Regional Bureau for Agriculture and Rural Development show that region-wide only 10.9 % of the rural households can sustain themselves and cover their yearly food requirements from their own crop production. The targeted area, Saesie Taseda- Emba wereda, is situated in the north-east part of the Eastern Zone of Tigray, near the border with the Afar Regional State. This is a drought prone area that has historically suffered from acute and chronic food insecurity, regardless of rainfall patterns. According to wereda officials, more than 80 % of the households in the target area are living in a permanent state of vulnerability, because their own agricultural productions cover their food needs for only four to five months per year (two months are covered by crop production and two to three months by income earned by the selling of sheep or goat). According to the participatory Rural Assessment (PRA) done by ADCS at grassroots level in the 6 targeted Tabias the following issues were identified by the local communities : Serious shortage of food due to crop harvest failure and rising food prices; low crop production and productivity, low livestock productive and less income from livestock products ; lack of irrigation infrastructure and water supply ;lack of alternative income generating activities outside agriculture; limited to market and lack of accessibility of the area due to lack of roads; lack of livestock feed, water and health problems and Poor health status of communities due to limited access to clean water supply and sanitation facilities . This project is going to focus on the improvement of crop production and productivity of the targeted households through irrigation development; increase of household income from livestock and livestock products; improvement of marketing skills and marketing access of the targeted household and the provision of access to potable water, hygiene and sanitation of the targeted household. The project is going to be implemented in six selected Tabias ((Hadush-hiwet, Tahtay-ziban, Saesie, Geblen, kumasubha, and Marwa) of Saesie Tsaeda Emba Woreda/destrict in Eastern zone of Tigray. This is the project area where the connect 2 programme of CAFOD is going to be implemented. It is expected that 4,000 House holds (1,680 women headed and 2,320 male headed households) and are going to benefit from the project. This project is part of the last year approved HIB 0170 project. During the first year of the project period, the partner was expected to conduct a baseline survey and value chain assessment. The partner has conducted the baseline survey and a value chain assessment in the project area and has submitted the report to the Joint office. The project activities and budget is revised accordingly.

It is one of 18 zones in Oromia regional state located in the arid and semi-arid southern lowlands. The predominant economic activity is pastoralist and agro-pastoralist. Livestock keeping is a vital source of food and sale of livestock brings family income to purchase cereals and meet other household needs. During years of sufficient rains, the zone is a major source of livestock supply in the local and international market. During the last 'ganna' (long rains), the area received a good amount of rain which contributed to improvement of pasture availability and livestock conditions. However, the rainfall also damaged traditional water facilities and motorized water schemes which used to serve both humans and livestock. The current 'hagaya' (short rains) have failed affecting livestock and crop production significantly thus increasing the vulnerability of the community. A joint inter agency assessment was conducted by Help Age, the Ethiopia Joint Office (CAFOD, Trocaire, SCIAF), four local partner NGOs (GPDI, AFD, CIFA and SOS SAHEL), Zonal and district government authorities between 27th and 31st December 2010. The results from the joint inter agency assessment found that the food security situation is getting worse as a result of the current drought. In addition, livestock body conditions in the area are deteriorating, resulting in a negative impact on the lives and livelihoods of the pastoralists and agro-pastoralists communities. The interventions proposed in this project will therefore be in the context of an overall deteriorating environment in the affected areas until the ‘hagaya’ rains expected around October-November are received. The project will be implemented over a period of nine months with three phases. Phase 1 Direct Cash Transfers to 4,800 most affected households (March- May 2011): During this phase there will be direct cash transfers to 4,800 most affected households (1,200 HH in each of the four districts (Dire, Miyo, Moyale and Dillo) for two months. It is expected that the most affected households will recover sufficient access to food using the direct cash transfers. The actual amount of cash to be given to each selected household will be confirmed after the cash for work program market study results are released. Phase 2 Full cost recovery supplementary emergency livestock feed support benefiting 1,600 livestock (May- August 2011). During this phase there will be continued direct cash transfers for 4,800 most affected households for the first three consecutive months of phase two of the project. In addition, there will be a full cost recovery home take supplementary emergency livestock feed support for 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist households. Phase 3 Emergency supplementary livestock feeding with 50% cost sharing and slaughter destocking services targeting 1,600 poor but productive pastoralists and rehabilitation of water points (September-December 2011) a). Continued supplementary emergency livestock feed during the first two months will be done with a 50 % cost share by the beneficiary. The project provides a cost share arrangement in which the targeted 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist’s households pay 50% of the emergency livestock feed service using the voucher system. In addition targeted households are expected to deliver a free labour input for the establishment and management of the feeding camps (12 in total-4 per district). Follow up mechanisms will be put in place to replace any livestock whose body condition has improved with another one from the same household. b). Destocking of livestock using direct cash and vouchers for slaughtered livestock targeting 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist households for four months will also be done during this phase. De stocking will be done to respond to the situation of a large and weak herd of livestock that will eventually die as a result of the drought. The projects will off-take weak animals to increase the feeding situation for the number of strong animals. Each selected pastoralist will have the opportunity to destock three heads of livestock (I cattle, I sheep and 1 goat) resulting to a total of 4,800 livestock. As a result of destocking, there will be free distribution of fresh meat and livestock hide targeting 4,800 households. This will be to respond to the severe need for protein food to affected households. c).During the last three months of the project duration, damaged water facilities mainly 6 deep wells, 10 hand pumps, 50 community ponds and 47 traditional wells and four solar pumps will be rehabilitated through cash for work. An experienced local consultant will be engaged to conduct a further assessment by meeting with the community and customary leaders to identify and agree which water points should be rehabilitated and to prioritize those which are of strategic importance. Rehabilitation of water facilities will be done through cash for work where 6,400 beneficiaries will be assigned into 64 different working groups each with a membership of 100 beneficiaries. Each group will be assigned a leader selected through a vote. Each group will be given a kit of working tools and group leaders will be given technical orientation by the implementation partner’s project officers. Beneficiaries will be engaged in cash for work activities 20 days a month and will be paid 15 ETB per day (300 ETB/ € 18.75 a month.) Traditional administration of the project: An important aspect of the project is that the overall implementation respects and builds on the joint community-customary leaders views. The Borana community is traditionally governed by the gada and qallu institutions. The gada is elective while the qualla is hereditary and both play complementary roles in administering the society. The customary laws (called adaa-seera) are crucial in Borana governance in that major decisions are made in an open and transparent manner at various meetings.

People infected and affected by HIV usually suffer from diversified and multifaceted challenges including health problems, stigma and discrimination, psychological and economic problems. On the other hand, the causes and negative effects of the HIV/AIDS epidemic are closely related with wider challenges to development such as food and livelihood insecurity, poverty and gender inequality. These challenges tend to either exacerbate the already existing development problems such as gender gaps or create new challenges like orphan-headed households and breakdown of social safety nets. Following increasing access to ART in Ethiopia since 2005, the health conditions of PLHIV especially those on ART have shown significant improvements. This, in turn, has created a new opportunity to address the challenges in relation to food insecurity and economic empowerment. More and more people became healthy and strong enough to be involved in different productive activities including Income Generating Activities. Cognizant of the above fact, in addition to the provision of prevention programs such as IEC and BCC which target the wide public, providing care and IGA services has become one of the focus areas of Mekdim Ethiopia. Mekdim Ethiopia National Association Addis Ababa Branch is undertaking substantial IGA activities to strengthen the socio-economic status of PLHIV members in partnership with different donors in Addis Ababa. The association established and supported more than 20 IGA group’s and engaged 456 members on individual IGAs: 15 members (6 Female and 9 Male) in metal and wood work, 13 members (11 Female and 2 Male) in poultry production , 24 members (14 Female and 10 Male) in milk processing, 41 members (36 Female and 5 Male) in feed retail, 18 members (11 Female and 7 Male) in dairy farm, 17 members (12 Female and 5 Male) milk products distribution and cafeteria activities; 15 members (8 Female and 7 Male) in dry food and cafeteria services , 21 members (14 Female and 7 Male) in Saving and Credit Cooperatives and 178 members (125 Female and 53 Male) established Community Saving-Self Help Groups and 456 members organized under individual IGAs on various petty trade activities (347 Female and 109 Male). A total of about 798 persons (584 Female and 214 Male) participated and benefited from the economic strengthening services. . As a result of this program, a number of beneficiaries were able to improve their life situation economically and socially. Income generating activities have improved the disposable income of PLHIVs, allowing them to continue accessing ART, improved health and nutrition, restored dignity and decreased stigma. The beneficiaries were able to repair their houses, pay rent, created assets, and send their children to school, buy scholastic materials and school uniforms. They are fully engaged in gainful employments small traders and business persons that prevent unnecessary worries and anxieties that come from being idle.

It further excludes people from their rightful place in economic, educational, social and family circles. Stigma affects women, men and children living with or affected by HIV. Because of their positions of influence, faith leaders are well placed to tackle HIV-related stigma both locally and more broadly. This programme recognises that stigma can be experienced in the broad local context, (e.g. from attitudes and actions of health service providers, educators, neighbours, in employment, banking, insurance and wider business, media, entertainment and social/peer groups) and also within the framework of faith. The latter encompasses services such as health, education, livelihoods, welfare and humanitarian responses, youth work, broadcasting and media, and a variety of catechetical initiatives. It also includes the worship and social environments provided by the local faith community. This initiative will mobilise faith leaders to develop effective strategies to tackle stigma experienced both in the broader and faith-linked contexts. Working through existing CAFOD partners, -diocesan HIV programmes in Adigrat (Ethiopia). Mombasa, (Kenya) and Ibenga (Zambia)- women and men (lay and some clergy/religious) living with HIV will, after appropriate training, carry out baseline and interim surveys of stigma experienced by women, men and children living with or affected by HIV. Approximately 100 trained interviewers will survey at least 2500 respondents. Two hundred faith leaders will be supported to develop responsive stigma reduction strategies to address findings emerging in the baseline surveys. Strategies will be adjusted to accommodate additional considerations from interim surveys. Periodic learning and exchange meetings within and between participating countries will inform development of the project. An existing initiative held jointly by UNAIDS and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) -The Stigma Index (SI)- offers a tool that will measure and detect changing trends in relation to stigma and discrimination experienced by people living with HIV. GNP+ have agreed to collaborate with the CAFOD initiative, as it provides them with a valuable case study of the niche perspective of faith and also of a more programmatic approach over three years. This will be a pilot initiative over the 3 years’ duration. The learning and evidence of effectiveness will be documented and scale-up plans incorporated into the final review period.

During this phase there will be continued direct cash transfers for 4,800 most affected households for the first three consecutive months of phase two of the project. In addition, there will be a full cost recovery home take supplementary emergency livestock feed support for 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist households. Phase 3 Emergency supplementary livestock feeding with 50% cost sharing and slaughter destocking services targeting 1,600 poor but productive pastoralists and rehabilitation of water points (September-December 2011) a). Continued supplementary emergency livestock feed during the first two months will be done with a 50 % cost share by the beneficiary. The project provides a cost share arrangement in which the targeted 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist’s households pay 50% of the emergency livestock feed service using the voucher system. In addition targeted households are expected to deliver a free labour input for the establishment and management of the feeding camps (12 in total-4 per district). Follow up mechanisms will be put in place to replace any livestock whose body condition has improved with another one from the same household. b). Destocking of livestock using direct cash and vouchers for slaughtered livestock targeting 1,600 poor but productive targeted pastoralist households for four months will also be done during this phase. De stocking will be done to respond to the situation of a large and weak herd of livestock that will eventually die as a result of the drought. The projects will off-take weak animals to increase the feeding situation for the number of strong animals. Each selected pastoralist will have the opportunity to destock three heads of livestock (I cattle, I sheep and 1 goat) resulting to a total of 4,800 livestock. As a result of destocking, there will be free distribution of fresh meat and livestock hide targeting 4,800 households. This will be to respond to the severe need for protein food to affected households. c).During the last three months of the project duration, damaged water facilities mainly 6 deep wells, 10 hand pumps, 50 community ponds and 47 traditional wells and four solar pumps will be rehabilitated through cash for work. An experienced local consultant will be engaged to conduct a further assessment by meeting with the community and customary leaders to identify and agree which water points should be rehabilitated and to prioritize those which are of strategic importance. Rehabilitation of water facilities will be done through cash for work where 6,400 beneficiaries will be assigned into 64 different working groups each with a membership of 100 beneficiaries. Each group will be assigned a leader selected through a vote. Each group will be given a kit of working tools and group leaders will be given technical orientation by the implementation partner’s project officers. Beneficiaries will be engaged in cash for work activities 20 days a month and will be paid 15 ETB per day (300 ETB/ € 18.75 a month.) Traditional administration of the project: An important aspect of the project is that the overall implementation respects and builds on the joint community-customary leaders views. The Borana community is traditionally governed by the gada and qallu institutions. The gada is elective while the qualla is hereditary and both play complementary roles in administering the society. The customary laws (called adaa-seera) are crucial in Borana governance in that major decisions are made in an open and transparent manner at various meetings.

Linked to the Cash/Food provision, the participatory rangeland management interventions involves the poor but productive targeted pastoralist households in the establishment and CFW management of 600 hectares communally managed drought grazing reserves (100 hectares in each District) during the project life time. The devloped/rehabilitated rangeland will be set aside and grazed under normal conditions. The rangeland management activity will build on traditional rangeland management practices that the Borana pastoralists have been exercising for centuries as well as scientific findings in the field of range land management. To ensure this, the project will organize meeting with the community and customary leaders to identify and agree on the specific rangeland areas and to prioritize those which are of strategic importance (guaranteeing that local grazing management systems are not compromised) and also to further research the concern of resiliency and vulnerability with respect to the viability of pastoral livelihoods. The participatory rangeland management work will also be informed by the National Guidelines on Participatory Rangeland Management in Pastoral Areas.

Expected Results The intended results of the project are that by 30th September 2012 1. 598 children under five will have received care in Therapeutic Feeding Programmes (TFPs); and 619 children under five, 352 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and 208 other vulnerable people will have received care in Supplementary Feeding Programmes (SFPs). 2. Accurate measurement, tracking and recording of cases of malnutrition takes place in Catholic health facilities. 3. Standards of care in Catholic health facilities will have improved in line with Ethiopian protocols and recognised international standards through the provision of technical support and guidance. Main Activities Result 1: Therapeutic and Supplementary Feeding Programmes All of the six Catholic health facilities run SFPs. Teza and Wazera Health Centres also provide TFPs, with Teza providing full Stabilisation Centre (SC) services, and Wazera providing short-term (two to three days) in-patient care for children under five with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) with complications. Only Teza Health Centre and Shallalah Clinic do not provide services to PLW, please see Table 2 on page 4 for a detailed description of services provided. Staff at Teza Health Centre recognise that many users of their service travel considerable distances to access TFP/SC services. In cases where carers from poor families are required to stay away from their homes to care for their child, Teza Health Centre will also provide food for carers while they stay with their children. If required, carers will also receive funds for the return journey home. Result 2: Accurately recording cases of MAM and SAM It is known that at least one clinic and one health centre that provide nutrition services do not record all, or any of their data on malnutrition cases as part of the centralised government health authority Health Management Information System (HMIS). While not confirmed, it is expected that this is also the case for other health facilities. This is either because local authorities do not want to collect the data, because health centres are ordered not to record it, or because providing data would reveal that increased numbers of malnourished children are being treated and lead to pressure to stop treatment. For this reason, while health centres and clinics are capable of recording SAM and MAM cases they deal with, centralised records are not consistently or accurately maintained. However, clinics and health centres are prepared to keep accurate records and provide this information as part of the project. Nutrition cards recording name, home, weight, height, gender, treatment and start and finish dates are currently in use in three health facilities (Teza, Wasera, Madula/Tambaro) and will be introduced into the remaining two health centres and clinic. Cards will be printed and training will be given in their usage. These cards will then be used to provide monthly reports showing numbers of SAM and MAM in boys and girls as well as the nature, duration and outcome of their treatment. Result 3: Raising standards through technical support The Catholic health facilities are renowned for their high quality care and are well integrated with government services, receiving training and support from local health authorities, as well as providing data for the HMIS (even if not consistently for nutrition). However it is recognised that some services provided are at variance with standard international protocols, notably in terms of admission criteria and record keeping (see Table 2 and Section 2, Rationale, below for details). It is proposed that two technical support visits of ten days each are provided by CRS/CST (costs not included in this budget) for the clinics and health centres. This will provide an opportunity for expert review of the programmes and refresher training and guidance. It will also provide an opportunity to explore feasibility of expanding and/or improving services, as well as the expertise, human and financial resources and monitoring and supervision systems required. The range and nature of activities provided by the clinics is severely circumscribed by the politically sensitive nature of the region. Nutrition activities and information about malnutrition is highly controlled by the government. This limits the activities that can be provided as part of this project, notably in two major aspects: • Survey: While ideally a nutrition survey would be conducted, agencies are not permitted to conduct any nutrition assessments in the region. These may only be conducted by government authorities, and agencies would face expulsion should they be found to be conducting informal or unauthorised surveys. It is hoped that more accurate recording of MAM and SAM cases (Result 3) in health centres and clinics will provide valuable data on levels of malnutrition in the region, though this will be recorded confidentially and kept for internal use only. • Scale-up or initiation of new activities: Services provided by the health facilities are approved by the local authorities as part of their five year plan. For this reason CRS/CST are not required to request permission for a new project, as they are contributing to an existing programme of activities. However, substantial changes to this programme risks incurring government interference and possible discontinuation of services. Many of the services described above are outside of formal government nutrition responses and are able to operate by not drawing attention to their activities. Scale-up, out-reach or significant changes to the way they operate are therefore prohibited, precluding the inclusion of nutrition education, changes to admission criteria or any activities that may involve outreach as part of this project. While it is not appropriate to plan for these activities now, it is hoped that technical support visits by CRS/CST will be able to explore opportunities to safely develop and improve nutrition programming in clinics and health centres. Main intended beneficiaries The intended beneficiaries of this project are the extremely vulnerable families in SNNPR, specifically children under five and pregnant and lactating women, as well as other vulnerable groups. Beneficiaries tend to be from families which have extremely small landholdings who are at all times unable to grow enough to eat or sell to provide sufficient income. This chronically poor group often rely on neighbours to support them in lean times but given widespread and heightened food insecurity this safety net is no longer functioning. People suffering from the effects of malnutrition may be referred to Health Centres from Health Posts or Clinics, or may self-refer (see page 7 for a description of the hierarchy of health services), and similarly will self-refer to Clinics. It appears that screening and selection is conducted to the extent that clinical staff may identify children presenting at health services as suffering from malnutrition and will assess them using MUAC, weight for height ratios and oedema testing. Children under five years old found to be SAM or MAM and PLW will then be admitted into SFPs/TFPs. No record of total screened versus total admitted is conducted, and Catholic health facilities do not conduct any community screening. All clinics and health centres also provide nutritional care to people outside of these criteria. This may include children over five years old who are malnourished, elderly people, people living with HIV/AIDS and people with other diseases such as TB. These groups are not currently disaggregated by type but will be for this project, and are noted as ‘other’ in the table above. Given variations in treatment protocols, as described above, it cannot be assumed that all children in SFP are Moderately Acute Malnourished (MAM) as many clinics include SAM cases in their SFP. However, where TFP is provided for children under five, it is uniquely for SAM cases. It can therefore be assumed that of the 1,217 malnourished children provided with care at least 598 of those will be SAM cases, but that there are also more receiving treatment in SFP.

Tigray and Afar regional states are the two neighbouring regions located in the northern part of Ethiopia that is mainly characterized by drought and food insecurity. ADCS has been implementing small-scale food security projects for the last two years in selected few Tabias(Peasant Associations) of Enderta Aba’ala watershed,which is located in the two adjacent regions of Tigary and Afar.Up-to-now lessons have been learnt and promising results have been achieved from the project. Yet the depth and magnitude of food insecurity related problems are high demanding to scaling-up/ expand existing interventions. According to the participatory Rural Assessment (PRA) done by ADCS at grassroots level in the intervention area, the following issues were identified by the local communities and other stakeholders; low level of crop production per household, decreasing level of household benefits from livestock and livestock products, degradation of land and deforestation and limited access to potable water supply and sanitation facilities. Further more different activities were conducted to strengthen the findings such as Stakeholder analysis (in terms of importance and accessibility) was conducted, identification of Target groups that need special attention, prioritization and identification of problems related to food insecurity, analyzing causes and effects of the identified problems, analysis of potentials and constraints of the project area, identification of project interventions and possible activities and assessment of capacity gaps that might arise during implementation was conducted. The project is going to focus on agricultural production and productivity by constructing small-scale irrigation schemes, asset building on livestock, improvement on veterinary service, increase of access to potable water and sanitation, rehabilitation and treatment of degraded watershed. The project is going to be implemented in 10 PS (Peasant Association) of Enderta Aba’ala Watershed, which is located in two adjacent districts of Tigray and Afar regions (4PS’s from Afar and 6PA’s from Tigray). It is expected that 8,240 households, out of which 26 % female headed households are going to benefit directly from the project and 41,200 people indirectly. The project duration is three years (2012-2015) but the Joint Office is going to contribute to the project in the first year and the remaining will be covered by Caritas Belgium.

Pastoralism is an important livelihood strategy in Ethiopia with pastoralists representing 13% of the population, occupying 65% of the land and contributing 15% of GDP. However, pastoralist communities are particularly vulnerable to food insecurity due to environmental factors, market and finance limitations, and lack of organisation, low bargaining power and a policy environment that often neglects the specific needs and potential contribution of pastoralist communities. Borena community is among the major pastoralist area which have been challenged with the above problems. The scarcity of water was identified as a major limiting factor for the enhancement of livestock production and human population in Borana Zone, Dhas Woreda and Meta Arba PA. As assessment result shows, the scarcity of water affects more women and children in such ways as causing health hazards, drudgery, physical exhaustion, denial of opportunities for engaging in other socially and economically gainful activities. The inadequate supply of water is caused by the recurrent drought and depleting water resources. Moreover, man-made causes such as conflict and mal practices in natural resource management have proved as inhibiting factors in accessing water at the right time, quantity and quality. The availability of water is a prerequisite for livestock production and domestic consumption. Hence, developing appropriate water sources that have positive impacts on the lives and livelihoods of the community are instrumental for attaining enhanced food security. In Ethiopia CAFOD works together with Trocaire and SCIAF through a Joint Programme (JP). All three agencies are members of Caritas Internationals, and are the official relief and development agencies of the Catholic Church in England and Wales (CAFOD), Scotland (SCIAF) and Ireland (Trocaire). In Borena JEP has been working with local NGOs different humanitarian and livelihood projects that are focused of the main challenges of pastoral livelihood including development of water facilities. Action for development is one the JEP strategic partner with particular experience expertise on the water development works. Action For Development (AFD) is an Ethiopian Residents Charity that implements a programme of integrated dry lands development in various parts of Ethiopia, prioritizing pastoral areas. The AFD programs are aimed at the attainment of food security and sustainable livelihoods at the grassroots level. To enhance the attainment of its organizational objectives, AFD implements multi-scrotal activities in the areas of livelihoods and resilience building, water and natural resource development, and capacity building, with the mainstreaming of such issues as gender, HIV/AIDS, and disaster risk reduction. In line with its overall thematic focus, AFD was implemented a project entitled “Building resilient pastoral community” (BRPC) in Oromia regional state, Borana zone ,Dhas, Miyo and Dillo Woredas with the financial support CAFOD SCIAF TROCAIRE (CST) and the European Union over the last two years. One of the major components of the project was the construction of the Keso rock catchment. Although the project had phased out on December 31, 2011, the Keso rock catchment remains unaccomplished due to a variety of reasons such as: migration of local community because of drought; inter ethnic conflict; high inflation rate; complicated procurement procedure of EU that did not consider the context of the project area; lack of labor and materials (including water) required for construction works; remoteness of the project area, and lately unusual devastating rainfall. The project is a scaling up project from the previous project initiatives called “Building Resilient Pastoralist Communities” funded by the European Union in the same target areas. The Project Description of the project; Project Objectives: Increased production and marketing of livestock and livestock products. Project Output Enhanced water availability and quality for livestock and human populations in the project area Project Activities 1. Excavating 3567m3 the silted up part of the storage, refilling and compacting on to the eroded inner face of the embankment keeping the slope. 2. Material preparation, procuring and mobilization, for refilling, paving/pitching and compacting the broken part of the earth fill embankment 3. Laying the detached geo-membrane sheet to the inner face of the embankment. 4. Anchoring the remaining1000 meter lower edge of the geo-membrane sheet in the rock with concrete and embedding the upper edge in to the embankment. 5. Installation of overflow G.I. pipes at 6 places and construction of R.C.C columns to support the pipes 6. Stone pitching/paving of 7800 m2 the inner embankment with 5cm selected materials and 15cm thick stone 7. Planting grass strip on the outer part of the embankment to foster the outer part of the embankment and the surrounding 8. Construction of 11 masonry walls to break the water force and to store water for each trough (Baffle walls). 9. Trench excavation to guide the overflow water far away to avoid storage of water out side of the embankment 10. Fencing of the scheme to protect it from different damages and contaminations of the water by community participation. Current Status of the Rock catchment: Despite the persistent efforts made by CST-JEP, AFD, local LDs, and the community, the Keso rock catchment, was not accomplished due to the problems mentioned above. Some of the activities were accomplished in BRPC project. As a result of unusual torrential rain some of the accomplished activities are also damaged and need maintenance. The accomplished activities so far and problems encountered during the BRPC project implementation that hinders its accomplishment are listed below. The remaining activities to be completed are indicated under the activity part. Accomplished activities • Construction of 1256 meter long earth fill embankment with geo-membrane cover for the inner wall was previously completed and now 605 meters long of the internal face of the embankment is eroded and about 16 meters length of the embankment is broken by the colossal flood. • Four double side cattle troughs • One double side shoat trough • Two masonry reservoirs of 100m3 capacity each • Two water points with six faucets each • Organizing, equipping and training care takers and water management committees • Construction of 101meter intake masonry canal with concrete support and 12 meters intake pipe with concrete support completed • 1200 meter masonry dyke work round the rock is totally completed. • Geo-membrane sheet laying work was covered on the inner face of the embankment and about 450 meters length of the lower edge of the geo-membrane sheet was anchored with concrete in to the rock. But as a result of the flood damage, about 400 meter length of the geo-membrane sheet is detached from the soil out of which 100 meter long geo-membrane sheet is disjointed at one edge and fond out of the embankment. • Overflow G.I. pipes was installed at three places. • Two washing basin with four plate each constructed .

To reach this, two major strategies will be applied: supporting women’s self-help groups, known as WORTH groups, and secondly, the initiation of ‘community conversation’ fora by including the wider community. The project will engage traditional leadership and the local authorities, create awareness and stimulate change on distorted social gender norms. The project responds to UKAid Match Funds results with regard to the outcome on ‘women empowerment’ and increase opportunities and confidence in decision-making for both women and girls. The CST joint programme in Ethiopia, together with its partner HUNDEE will implement the program and can built on many years of experience in implementing gender empowerment projects.

It is located in the southern part of Ethiopia and is agro-pastoralist area. The available data shows that the total area of the woreda is estimated to be 731,565 ha, of which 14,800 ha is arable land by irrigation, 84,460 ha cultivable land by rain fed agriculture and 8,865 ha cultivated on rain fed and irrigation agriculture. The vast land area covering 250,939 ha is bush & shrub and 225,434 ha is grazing land. The remaining 137,067 ha is occupied by settlements and waste lands. (Source: Hamer woreda environmental profile doc.) The project is aimed at enhancing the socio-economic and human well being of agro/pastoralist communities in Hamer district. It is going to be implemented in 7 selected villages of the district, Kufur, Shanko-Kelema, Woro, Sanko-Wolfo, Simbele, Besheda and Dimeka Zuria. The Hamer’s main livelihood options are livestock and agrarian farming. For increasing and diversifying incomes CCGGSO feel the main opportunities lie in diversifying and increasing the agrarian side of things especially vegetables (tomatoes, onions, sweet potatoes) through small scale irrigation and Fruit (Mango and Papaya). It would have added advantages of diversifying the diet and improving soil fertility. The project interventions include facilitating improved dairy production, grass and fruit varieties, beekeeping and animal fattening practices, Introduce small scale drip irrigation schemes for vegetable production near water schemes, train & equip Para-vet scouts on cost sharing bases, establish pastoral field school in the target villages, build access rural road to the target areas, ensure gender balance in all project activities, train vulnerable women on income generating activities, establish goat production women groups and assist them to start animal husbandry, link all Income Generating Activities (IGA) beneficiaries to Saving and Internal Lending (SILC). It is going to address about 940hhs. This project will be headed by the South Omo Project unit of the CCGG & SO and is located in the nearest project target area of South Omo, Dimeka.

Agriculture is the mainstay of the people, mostly at subsistence level. The land holding per household is small, the soil is degraded and less fertile and rainfall is very erratic. As a result production and productivity is very low and average household production provides food for only 4.5 months of the year. Poverty levels in Tigray Region are high compared to other parts of the country. The interim report on Poverty Analysis Study (2010-11) estimated that 29.6% of people in Ethiopia are poor (poverty head count index) and 33.6% of people are food poor (food poverty head count index. In terms of regional distribution, the study revealed that the poverty head count index is the highest in Afar Region (36.1%) followed by Somali Region (32.8%) and Tigray Region (31.8%), In terms of food poverty, the highest rates were observed in Amhara Region (42.5%) followed by Tigray Region (37.1%). The Eastern Zone of Tigray Region is the most drought-prone and majority of the districts in the region, including the target districts Irob and Gulomekeda are classified as hot spot areas. Thus, in most of the cases the people found in these areas are supported by the government Productive Safety Net Program (PSNP) and a number of emergency interventions. In recent years, 73% of households in Gulomekeda district were PSNP beneficiaries, of which 62% were engaged in public works and the remaining 11% were receiving free support. Similarly, almost 100% of the households in Irob district are engaged in PSNP. Water availability throughout the year is variable and very few water points (hand dug wells and shallow wells) provide a year round service. The majority of people have no access to potable water for 3-6 months mainly during the dry season. The main factors that contributed to the problem are several and moisture stress is a leading factor for lower production of crops and livestock more specifically in the targeted areas and generally at regional level. The annual rainfall of the area is estimated to range from 400mm-600mm which is among the lowest category in the region. As general trend; however, drought is occurring within three years of time and the area is becoming more and more prone to drought and crop failure. In addition to climatic change, degradation of vegetative coverage and high run of flood is also another factor contributing to moisture stress in the area. As a consequence of the problems crop failure, chronic food insecurity, vulnerability to external shocks and malnutrition is pervasive and persistent in the area. Similarly, poor productivity of local breeds, limited animal feed, lack of water for animals, lack of veterinary services at local level and free grazing practice are leading problems causing lower productivity of livestock in the area. The existing grazing land is very small in size and its poor management (free grazing), coupled with moisture stress also contributes to its lower productivity. Another core problem in the targeted area is degradation of natural resource base, which is a main challenge of sustainable production. Due to deforestation and high run off, the amount of annual soil erosion from farmlands, grazing lands and also from hillsides is estimated to be very high. On annual basis significant numbers of gullies are formed in farmlands as well as in grazing lands, contributing to decreased size of available productive lands. Furthermore, the degradation of natural resource base has direct impact on erosion of upper soil and reducing the moisture retention capacity of the farmlands. Besides these, lack of diversified source of household income mainly due to limited access to credit service, lack of vocational skills and lack of basic infrastructure are also a major problem which exposed the targeted community very vulnerable to shocks. In order to improve the livelihoods of vulnerable households in the target area, it is necessary to support an increase in productive capacity and to build resilience at household and community level. A preliminary assessment found that the target area has potential for irrigation development, livestock production and other off farm activities. Thus, the project envisages irrigation development, drinking water development, and livestock and off farm interventions as core activities for livelihoods strengthening. It is to be recalled that in the last three years, Connect II was piloted in Beira site via the parish there through which effective communication between Beira communities and communities in England and Wales was established. Since the project has phased out of Beira, the parish of Sebeya in Gulemakada district is selected to be the focal point for Connect II to communicate the life conditions of Sebeya communities (project beneficiaries in particular), development interventions by ADCS Livelihood Project there and improvements in the lives of these people through the project in the coming five years to the supporting communities in England and Wales. It is expected that 2,985 HH out of which 1,523 female HH to benefit directly from the project and indirectly 13,150 people.

The project overall goal focuses on improving the resilience capacity of the drought affected HHs in the targeted Woredas through improving their livelihood status (assisting them using crop production, livestock production, accessibility to water and sanitation, and off-farm interventions). The planned interventions (through the asset to be created and income to be generated) help both to mitigate the emergency cycle and to improve their survival and readiness of the targeted HHs to bounce back from drought. This effort is fully in line with and complementary to the Woreda, Zonal, Regional and National Disaster risk reduction priorities and policies. Through improving the crop production and productivity, drought affected HHs will have better access to food availability at the HH level. The livestock and other asset created will give them better capacity to re-bounce to droughts and shocks as they can change them in to liquid asset (cash) and can buy food when those shocks happen. The other major challenge for them is the availability of water to drink during those drought times. Thus improvement of access to potable water and sanitation practices were integrated within this package. Generally improving availability of food, creating asset for absorbing shocks and improvement of access to water and sanitation practices were planned as a package in this DRR project. The package is compatible both for agrarian and agro-pastoral areas.

Therefore the project will focus on continuous work of strengthen human and institutional capacity of peace building in the selected areas of diocesan settings. Accordingly, the Ethiopian Catholic Secretariat and Diocesan Catholic Secretariats identified the following needs to be addressed in the project implementation areas: • Lack of respect of minorities’ rights • Religious tension/conflicts • Harmful traditional practice • Resource and identity based Ethnic conflicts • Corruption and nepotism, • Violation of unborn child/abortion • Illegal movement of small arms and light weapons • Drug and alcohol abuses and related youth problems Thus, in collaboration with the concerned partners such as donors, community, religious organizations and respective local and regional government authorities especially Administration and Security Affairs, and prison administration the ECS Peace and Justice Unit would like to engage in the promotion of human dignity and building sustainable peace and create a culture of mutual appreciation and respect. In view of promoting the fundamental values of human dignity, reconciliation through justice and peace activities at the grass roots level, the Catholic Church identified key actors of social change within respective communities, religious leaders and government officials.

Thousands of Ethiopian women are trafficked illegally to the Middle East as housemaids per annum and many of these migrants have become victims of psychologicall, physical and sexual abuses and even many cases of murder have been reported in the country of destination. The abuses of women take place at all chains of trafficking abuse by traffickers during the journey, crews controlling sea-crossings, violent attacks from criminal gangs and abuse by their employers to mention some. As many married women leave their children behind, children are also victims due to lack of appropriate care from their mothers. As indicated by study by ILO, majority of the migrant women (57%) are from the families of poor and marginalized people and earn less than 300 Birr (about 10 pound sterling per month) and lack education, information and are mainly driven by agitation of traffickers. Addressing these issues requires the involvement of different actors which have direct relevance to the problem such as government which is responsible for putting appropriate policies and laws in place, traffickers involved in the action, embassies who are issuing visa and victims themselves. Despite few efforts by government and non-governmental institutions, there is no mechanism for collaborative engagement among different actors and hence this problem is continuing to be a biggest challenge for majority of women and children in the country. Therefore, this project aims to review policies and research findings related to trafficking of women/girls in Ethiopia to promote collaboration for joint action with key government ministries, embassiesand other relevant stakeholders. The project will be implemented will be implemented by the Union of Ethiopian Charitable Association (UEWCA) in partnership with the Joint Ethiopia office of CAFOD, SCIAF and Trocaire. In this regard, through review of relevant policies and key research recommendation, the project will identify key gaps, identify key actions by different actors through joint dialogue.

This leads to ill health, poor nutrition, low ART adherence, reduced income/assets/savings, financial dependency, reduced access to services and support structures, low self-esteem and instability of housing and living environment. Households of PLHIV are central to our strategy. 525 PLHIV households with 2152 family members including men, women and children living with and affected by HIV will directly benefit. The project is designed to support beneficiaries in the journey from dependency and subsistence living to meeting their own basic needs and enjoying sustainable livelihoods and regular household income. Because of the fact that each individual within the target group has his/her own needs, vulnerabilities, capacities and characteristics, support will be tailored to the needs and gaps identified at an individual level. The proposed project will result into households of PLHIV and other families affected by HIV that will lead productive and dignified lives, benefiting from increased incomes and improved livelihoods through access to business development services, credit/savings and financial capital and realising their rights to services that enables them to be healthy, confident, resilient and productive. CAFOD will realise the project with two of its partners, namely Brother of Good works (BGW ) who have been working in the area of HIV during the past years.

CST also works directly with two diocese, Hosana and Adigrat, directly. Hosana is a very new diocese and requires support to strengthen its humanitarian capacity. Adigrat is a more long-standing diocese and has relatively strong capacity but recognises that there is still some gaps in terms of understanding/adhering to international standards. It is recognised that the church is often the first to respond to emergencies because of its grass root presence and strong relationship with the community but it needs to increase its surge capacity, its understanding and adherence to international standards and accountability to communities and government. Expected outcome: The capacity building project will improve qualiy of service delivery and accountability to disaster survivors. Promotion of internationally accepted quality and accountability initiatives such as Sphere, HAP, People in Aid, LEGS will be the priority both at ECS and diocese level. Understanding the humanitarian standards and ways of working will help partners to exercise linking relief, recovery and development approach in the programs they have been managing. The organizational capacity, especially financial managmnet and programme development will also be analysed and appropriate support given if required. How will be achieved: Humanitarian capacity building has been one of the specific objectives of the previous humanitarian program and this project will address the capacity gaps of the Humanitarian wing of Catholic church development section. The project will facilitate formal trainings on key humanitarian standard such as Sphere, LEGS, Good enough guide and HAP at both national and diocese level. Besides facilitating formal trainings partners are also supported in the process of project design and implementation to ensure interventions are managed in line with humanitarian standards and national protocols. Technical knowledge on key currently emerging sectors in humanitarian response will enhance partners’ capacity to effectively manage projects and help them to adhere with standards. In addition to organizing trainings specific to the humanitarian sector the project will work with other programs and CST management to facilitate general capacity building program on areas such as financial management, result based management, PCM and HIV/Gender mainstreaming depending on the identified needs.

SNNP Region is however home to 20.4% of the national population (CSA Population and Housing Census, 2007). The region’s economy is predominantly agriculture – including agro-pastoralist and pastoralist in the extreme south-west. Smallholder agriculture contributes an estimated 73% of regional GDP and 90 % of regional employment. SNNP Region accounts for 9% of Ethiopia’s grain production (CSA, 2010/11). While food production and income varies between Ethiopia’s different livelihood zones, poor and very poor smallholder farmers produce only between 40% and 60% of their own food. The remainder is either purchased or received in the form of food aid. Poorer households typically generate 40 to 45 percent of their annual income from off-farm labour. An estimated 25 percent of poor and very poor smallholder farmer households are women-headed and the number is known to be rising. Women-headed households are known to find it more difficult to access inputs – including credit – and training/exposure to modern agricultural methods. The planned operational areas lie within Ethiopia’s bimodal rainfall receiving belt that stretches from Tigray in the north, through Amhara, Oromiya and ends in SNNP Region. What is common with farmers throughout this belt, is that smallholders plant short-cycle crops including barley, wheat, Teff and long-cycle crops such as maize, sorghum, millet. The belg season contributes up to 40% of the annual production in the belg benefiting parts of the Region (Ethiopia Food Security Update, March 2009). A recent report issued by FEWSNET confirms changing seasonal weather trends including an estimated 15 to 20% reduction in belg rains since the 1970s. The project will be implemented in 4 belg and kiremt rain receiving woredas of Kamabata Tambaro and Hadiya zones in SNNP Region. The targeted woredas have been identified as woredas where the belg rains of 2011 and 2012 either failed or were well below normal, where estimated meher harvest losses are significant the result of kiremt rains 2013 early cessation and were identified in September 2012 as ENCU’s Nutrition Hot spot Woredas. The recent March 2013s report of each woreda’s task forces on the nutrition status of their respective areas shows the situation to be even worse than previously. The project areas are one of the most drought prone Woredas in SNNPRS. The communities in the project Administration Units has been receiving food aid for more than three decades. Most of the households in the project area depend on own production which lasts one to six months of the year. The problem analysis during need identification indicated that low crop and animal productivity are their priority problems that lead target community to chronic food insecurity. The basic causes for low crop productivity are limited farm land, reduced soil fertility, poor productivity of locally available seeds, limited access to improved agricultural inputs like irrigation facilities and limited extension services. Similarly the cause for low animal productivity is that most vulnerable people have no any animal asset. The worse scenario in the community is that significant number of the people have no land or their land is only enough to build their house. Most youth are jobless. The result of unemployment is increasing each day. Youth are pulled by the false hope of having a better life if they migrate to other destinations like South Africa where they believe they can do better. The migration is both outside and inside. Many migrate to destinations within the country where they work as daily laborers in agro-industries such as Sugar Estates. Many people also migrate abroad. The worst phenomenon is that migration to the Diaspora destinations requires huge financial resources which cannot be afforded by the common people. They have to raise this amount by either borrowing or at the expenses of selling all their property. Eventually their families are left behind without anything as most frequently they sell their traditional land. Other times families sell livestock and to send one of their sons or the father to South Africa or Middle East. The problem of HIV/AIDS is another threat to the community in targeted project areas due to active migration. During high labor seasons, new construction of roads and concentration of commercial sex workers is associated is with this, lack of accurate information about HIV/AIDS for the youth makes them more vulnerable. The people living with HIV/AIDS have still significant levels of stigma and discrimination in families, communities, social service centers and workplaces. Poverty and unemployment is aggravating the epidemic as youth migrate and come back infected and or get involved in commercial sex work as an option of coping with poverty. Apart from acute emergency cases as a result of rain failure other problems that contribute to chronic malnutrition in the area include: Small land holding: The average land holding in the area is 0.25 hectare which is sometimes hilly and exposed to erosion thus making it difficult to get significant harvest. According to community groups contacted in the assessment they can produce crops which can feed the family for only 2-4 months of the year. Shortage of agricultural input: Agricultural inputs used to increase production in the area are too expensive for poor families to afford. As a result food production gained from limited farm land remains limited. Root crop disease: Main food sources in the area are root crops such as sweet potato, Irish potato, cassava, and inset... in recent year different plant diseases are affecting the production of it. Some root crops like sweet potato are disappearing from the area. Lack of social protection/credit facility: Repeated Households have a problem of lack of food and health. This means that the family has to sell their production assets such livestock, fruit trees, land to cover their immediate needs. There are no credit facilities in the area even to cover critical problems and hence the families are obliged to take loans from individual with a very huge interest rate. Some interests as high as 80%. Lack of alternative income source: household asset depletion and lack of credit facility meant that the alternative income sources available in the area are not available to the poor. Inadequate humanitarian assistance: Humanitarian assistance provided (GFD) by government and non government organizations do not meet requirements of needy populations. And because the root causes are not being addresses plus with the addition of aggravating factors, numbers of malnutrition keep rising every year. In addition, food given in supplementary feeding projects is commonly shared with the rest of the family thus causing the registered child to remain malnourished. Due to the above listed basic problem, most of the coping mechanism practices are negative. Most often poor households sell assets (livestock, land, fruit tree) and work for labour. These will deplete household asset and increase future vulnerability. This project will target 3,000 families and 510 under 5 children. The prior target group of this intervention are families who are frequently affected by food shortage and will also target children admitted into OTP or SC services. Targeted populations will be treated in Health Center SC or OTP programs and the project will further support these same families to support their children not to relapse every year especially during hunger gap. This project will also support livelihoods of targeted populations. The project will also consider other vulnerable families in the same village for grouping purpose to have economic support group as livelihood option. However, the number of non OTP and SC families should not exceed 20% of the targeted groups’ members. 80% should be those who fall in the criteria for nutrition feeding projects. Criteria for selection for admission into OTP and SC will follow National protocol and international WHO standards. Those who meet this requirements as per the cut-off points of the national protocol. The Catholic institutions state that they should be accessible for all in need. All targeted populations whether they are catholic or not will be treated. In the case of OTP and SC children with Severe malnutrition with complication will be admitted in stabilization centres. In summary criteria to be followed are as follows: 1. Stabilization Centre- severely malnourished children (Weight/Height less than 70% or MUAC less than 11cm) between the ages of 6 to 59 months will be targeted. With Oedema (+, ++, +++), or those with complications requiring medical attention/ close monitoring. 2. Mother Support Groups- mothers with children less than five or pregnant/lactating mothers. 3. Agricultural support: families that are affected by malnutrition and have a potential to secure their nutrition through agricultural production. 4. Income generating activities- those with current/previously had children/mothers admitted in nutrition projects addressing moderate/severe malnutrition and do not have a capacity to engage on agriculture. A small percentage of very poor families as identified by communities’ way of wealth ranking will also be targeted as a preventive measure. Although the criterion of targeting is malnutrition history, all beneficiaries of the project tend to be the lowest section of the society in terms of wealth. The wider community living in the same Kebele will be the indirect beneficiaries of the project as they are will benefit from several agricultural interventions and new livelihood alternatives created by the project. Clinic records will be used to select those who will benefit for targeting in livelihood support interventions. These clinical records will be confirmed from the catchments kebele health extension workers records. However, this does not mean that every family whose child was admitted in the OTP of SC from the catchments Kebele will be targeted for livelihood support. There will be further screening at village level be kebele government development workers. The project will further ensure that the nutritional problem of each family selected is due to shortage of food and not other aggravating factors. If the problem is not shortage of food, and probably poor feeding practices, they will be addressed in the awareness or IYCF through mother support groups. The type of the livelihood support for targeted Households further will depend on household capacities e.g if they have access to land or pasture. The final list of beneficiaries will be validated by the community and kebele development committees in mass meetings.

The country is marked by significant ethnic and religious diversity, with over 85 different ethnic groups and most of the major religions represented, and prides itself in its historical and cultural heritage. However, deep-rooted traditions have manifested themselves in inequality between women and men in almost all areas of life. As a result, women and girls are denied access and control over resources, as well as access to basic services such as education, health, and information. Additionally, they experience high levels of gender-based violence and early marriage. This project seeks to redress the marginalisation of women in Ethiopia and their continued lack of representation, participation, leadership, and decision-making at all levels.
