The project proposed here will contribute to the improvement of the health and quality of life among internally displaced people (IDPs) residing in Qoloji 2 IDP site, neighboring Anod host community, as well as smaller IDP sites in Babile woreda of Fafan Zone Somali region through an integrated and protection-sensitive project which will combine the provision of safe drinking water, with the construction of improved sanitation facilities and the promotion of hygiene and sanitation best practices. Specifically, DRC will contract the drilling and installation of a new borehole in Anod host community, which will deliver safe drinking water to both Anod host community as well as Qoloji 2 IDP site. To allow for efficient coverage of water from the borehole, DRC will furthermore install a pipeline network with water points. DRC WASH and protection staff will collaborate with members from both the host and IDP communities to map and identify the most appropriate and protection-sensitive locations for the installation of tap stands.. Understanding that women and children are the primary users of the water points, DRC will also engage representative from these demographics to better understand their differential needs, concerns and priorities during the design of the facilities. For example, DRC staff will seek to better understand how the primary users cue for access, the most common time of use, the frequency and nature of conflicts that arise around the tap stands, and their ideas on the arrangement, height and number of taps per stand. In addition to the borehole and tap stands, DRC will construct communal and institutional latrines with accompanying handwashing facilities as a means to increase access to improved sanitation facilities. As with the tap stands, the communities, including women and children, will be consulted as to the placement and design of the facilities. In order to promote best use of the new facilities, DRC will conduct hygiene and sanitation awareness raising initiatives throughout both the host and IDP communities. DRC will seek to collaborate with existing community health volunteers, health post staff, elders, women, and children throughout the campaign. DRC will directly target 38,211 people from Qoloji 2 IDP camp, 8211 people from smaller IDP sites (Holobiye, Kulmiye and Reerbahay) and 1550 people from Anod host community, thereby aiming to enhance conditions for the most vulnerable groups in each of these areas. Therefore,through the aforementioned interventions, DRC will reach an estimated 47,972 individuals.
