XM-OCHA-CBPF-ETH-18/DDA-3379/RA1/P/INGO/10295 United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs In May and June 2018, renewed violence between the Borana (Oromo) and Garre (Somali) communities has led to internal displacement of more than 1.1 million people and protection concerns. Many of the displaced people reside in Hudet (70,203), and Moyale (153,750) woredas and the vast majority are women and children who are generally subjected to high protection risks and psychosocial problems. Under this project Save the Children aims to address the protection and psychosocial concerns of children and families through strengthening community based child protection mechanisms and psychosocial interventions. The project will be implemented for six months in twenty IDP sites and host communities in Hudet and Moyale woredas of Dawa Zone, Somali regional State. The project will directly target 23,617 children (G= 12139, B= 11,478) and 7,070 adults (F= 3,535 M =3,535) through child protection and psychosocial interventions. The project will enable children and youth to access safe play and edutainment services by establishing child and youth friendly spaces (CampYFS) in IDP sites and facilitating on going interactive programs. It will enhance children’s and youth’s capacity to positively address the challenges they face in their daily life through organizing regular resilience building sessions for children, youth and their care providers. The project will build capacities of relevant government sectors offices to identify and respond to protection concerns of children and facilitate case management and Family Tracing and Reunification services. Save the Children will create community-based violence prevention and mitigation systems through establishing community-based child protection structures in the IDP sites and host communities. It will also raise the awareness of communities on child protection issues including issues of sexual violence, early marriage and abduction through organizing regular community conversation sessions, mass awareness raising events and peer to peer education programs. Further the project will mainstream child protection in governmental and non-governmental actors operating in the targeted woredas through Minimum Standard for Child protection in Humanitarian Action trainings. It will also build their capacity on Psychological First Aid (PFA) through organizing PFA trainings.
