SHF 1st Standard Allocation round

Allocation strategy paper Project proposal deadline: 16 March, 2020 23h59 (/Nairobi)

Proposals can only by submitted by the eligible SHF partners through the SHF Grant Management 1. Allocation summary System.

This document outlines the approach to allocating funds through the Humanitarian Fund (SHF) Ist 2020 Standard Allocation round (SHF-2020-SA1, US$22 million). Reflecting the current humanitarian situation and the timing of the allocation round, the 1st 2020 SHF Standard Allocation will focus on sustaining life- saving response by supporting individual cluster-specific priorities (envelope A, US$13.2 million) and integrated humanitarian response, (envelope B, US$8.8 million).

2. Humanitarian Context

Despite a favourable Deyr (October- December) rainy season, the lingering effects of the drought in 2018/2019, and flooding an estimated 1.3 million people in Somalia will be in Crisis (IPC Phase3) through mid-2020 without sustained humanitarian assistance. Currently, 4 million people are experiencing acute food insecurity, out of whom 2.9 million are Stressed (IPC Phase 2) and 1.1 million are facing Crisis or worse. Among the most vulnerable are 2.6 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) who remain highly impoverished.1 Despite a largely favourable cereal harvest nationally (113,800 tons in the south and 33,650 tons in the north), food security concerns remain high among poor households whose livelihood activities were disrupted by floods that also caused by large scale displacement, destruction of basic infrastructure and significant crop losses particularly in riverine areas along the Juba and Shabelle Rivers. Also, of concern people in Crisis are poor pastoral households in the north and central Somalia, IDPs and poor urban households who are still unable to meet their food consumption gaps and poor urban households due to the high cost of living and limited income -earning opportunities. Without food assistance and livelihood support, their food security outcomes will deteriorate. The Gu seasonal outlook indicates a strong possibility of average to above average rainfall in most parts of Somalia, with below normal rainfall in the northwest. There is also a heightened risk of flooding along the Juba and Shabelle river catchments which would likely disrupt agricultural activities. In addition, there is a looming threat of locust damage in areas where they are breeding which would cause further damage to pasture and crops and considerably worsen the current projections. hatching Approximately 963,000 children, under the age of five years are likely to face acute malnutrition through the end of the year, with 163,000 at the risk of sever severe malnutrition. Humanitarian assistance (food, nutrition and health) are likely to have prevented further deterioration of the nutrition situation in many parts of Somalia. However, acute malnutrition persists with a national Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) prevalence of 13.1% indicating a Serious phase compared to Deyr 20182. Morbidity remains high and Vitamin A supplementation and measles vaccination are well below the recommended SPHERE standard in most of the population groups

that have high levels of acute malnutrition. Identified hotspots include areas where children under the age of five and pregnant and lactating women have Critical (GAM ≥15%) rates will require sustained health, nutrition and food security support to prevent deterioration and relapse. The provision of sustained safe water particularly in areas facing perennial water shortages is an important deterrent to the spread of disease outbreaks and contributes to reduced morbidity. Ongoing conflict and insecurity continue to heavily influence the situation throughout Somalia, impacting on access to affected populations and causing displacement and exposure to protection violations. Protection monitoring reveals not only that many IDPs are not returning to their places of origin, but gender-based violence (GBV) incidences are reportedly highest among IDPs.3 The ongoing military offensive in the two Shabelle has Increased number of new arrivals from and settling in Afgooye and Banadir (Kahda and Daynile districts) in need of Humanitarian support. Similarly Baidoa town is hosting the second largest number of IDPs in Somalia and there is a potential increase due to the ongoing attacks by AS and non-state actors in the surrounding towns and village. Boys and girls including adolescents facing life-threatening risks of abuse, neglect, violence, exploitation, and severe distress have access to well-coordinated and gender-sensitive quality child protection services. There is a huge need to improve the quality of CP service for girls and boys at risk and increase the case management capacity to provide one on one support for children at risk based on their specific needs. In Somalia, the case workers are handling the caseload three or four time higher than minimum standards. Additional caseworkers are required to ensure the provision of quality case management services for 38,923 children (across Somalia) that are identified as at risk of abuse, neglect and violence. A protection-driven approach is required to be embedded in assistance, particularly to the most vulnerable groups, including children, females, elderly and IDPs. Thus, integrated child protection and education interventions that sustainably ensure learning opportunities, support retention and improve the learning environment provide a critical protective environment against child related violations. Similarly, the provision of adequate shelter will further ensure privacy and protection from both violations and the elements.

3. Response strategy – 1st 2020 Standard Allocation

The following SHF allocation principles for 2020 form a baseline for this allocation round: • Continued focus on lifesaving humanitarian response on lifesaving humanitarian response with focus on, if and when possible, underserved and hard-to access areas; • Ensuring the centrality of protection in all SHF-funded interventions; • Prioritization of direct implementation through international and national non-governmental partners • Support for local partners (if and where feasible) • Continue supporting integration of response across clusters and complementarity with other funding sources. The available funding ($22 million) comes at the time when sustained response is required at many locations, while programming cycle for some ongoing interventions is coming to an end.

Consultations with key SHF stakeholders confirmed support for the continuation of integrated response, when and where possible, as a reflection of the collective strategy and best practice. Integrated response leads to maximum impact of limited resources and the Fund’s ability to support such interventions is perceived as a strength and comparative advantage.

At the same time, many cluster coordinators emphasized the need for some degree of flexibility that would allow for cluster-specific prioritization at this crucial time of the year – when critical programming might be coming to an end or when cluster-specific needs are emerging at select locations, where even small- or mid-scale interventions could have significant impact. Moreover, clusters also reported critical gaps in their ongoing response in prioritised areas that required urgent support. These included basic service provision in recently accessible hard to reach areas, rehabilitation of infrastructure in areas that were still recovering from the effects of flooding in October 2019 and IDP areas with acute needs.

5. Process overview and timeline (see also Annex 2: SHF Process Guidelines)

The allocation round uses standard allocation modality, allowing for a fast-tracked but competitive allocation process, with strategic prioritization conducted and determined collectively by the Somalia Inter-Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) and ultimately endorsed by the SHF Advisory Board and the Humanitarian Coordinator. During the strategic prioritization process, cluster coordinators are strongly encouraged to consult and take into consideration inputs from relevant authorities while upholding the underlying humanitarian principles of independence, neutrality and impartiality.

Selection of individual interventions and partners will be conducted by Inter/Cluster Review Committees (whose composition may be cross-cluster, depending on projects submitted), assessing the proposed interventions by the eligible partner3 strictly against the present allocation strategy and the pre-defined SHF score card.

Non-governmental organisations should be prioritized for the allocation round. If, when and where feasible, local and national partners should be supported. For detailed information on the allocation process see Annex 1 of this strategy (SHF Process Guidelines).

In line with the 2020 Humanitarian Response Plan, the SHF will continue to promote the integrated and targeted response across all clusters (see guidance above).

Target area: The interventions should focus on specific and defined areas. Proposals outside of the defined geographic and substantive scope will not be considered for strategic review.

Direct implementation is prioritized. Sub-contracting is admissible in exceptional cases only when clear added value is demonstrated. The current conditions continue to demand a rapid and decisive decision-making and further scale-up of life- saving response. This will entail strong commitment and enhanced efforts from all stakeholders to step up the timelines and expedite the processes leading to response.

3 March 2020 Annex 1: SHF Process Guidelines

1. Project submission and prioritisation

• Following the AB and HC’s endorsement of the SHF 2020 Standard Allocation 1 strategy, call for proposals will be issued. The call will be posted on the SHF website and disseminated through cluster mailing lists. • Partners that feature on the SHF eligibility list (March 2020) will be selected based on the strategic relevance of their proposed interventions, their technical capacity and capacity to absorb the allocated funds, the ability to respond promptly in the priority areas and work closely with cluster coordinators and other partners during the project cycle. • Full project proposals will be developed and uploaded into the Grant Management System (GMS) by the implementing partners that seek funding (via https://chfsomalia.unocha.org). The GMS system migrated to an authentication mechanism called Humanitarian ID. Therefore, to access the GMS, partners are required to log in to the Humanitarian ID. Please find useful materials for GMS - Humanitarian ID authentication mechanism via https://gms-blog.unocha.org/gms-humanitarian-id-launch. • The review committees should, as they are performing their strategic and technical review, advise whether the request is valid, and funding should be granted. Requests recommended for approval are subject to technical review by OCHA. • Programming must reflect the distinct needs of men, women, boys and girls during the implementation period. As gender issues are manifested in different ways for each cluster, an overarching gender-sensitive approach will be ensured through prioritizing proposals that highlight their strategy towards overcoming obstacles that prevent vulnerable groups from receiving access to lifesaving services. A major focus will be placed on supporting female-headed households, as well as pregnant and lactating women who are particularly vulnerable from health- and nutrition-related risks. Children between the ages of six months and five years will also be a programming priority, as they face significant risks from malnutrition-related health complications. Protection should be mainstreamed and central to all allocations to include minority groups and those at risk of exclusion including people with disabilities. • Organisations that have an ongoing SHF project and apply for the same activities under this allocation should clearly indicate how the new funding will complement the previous SHF project. The decision on funding will be subject to the value of the currently ongoing IP projects, taking into consideration the SHF-assigned risk levels and the relevant thresholds. • Partners should not apply for more than two cluster- specific projects but may submit one project addressing multiple cluster-specific priorities • Partners should not apply for more than one integrated package (but can apply at multiple locations). • All projects must address life-saving needs. The proposals must be backed by credible data to demonstrate the severity of needs and activities must be interconnected across clusters. • Implementing partners must be eligible to receive SHF funding, present in the locations targeted in this allocation round or have the ability to immediately execute activities in the selected locations. • Projects should be implemented within 12 months and should not have a budget of less than $200,000, with larger project budgets strongly encouraged. • Non-governmental organisations should be prioritized for the allocation round. If, when and where feasible, local and national partners should be supported. • Clusters should prioritize the selection of non-governmental partners directly responsible for the implementation of projects. Sub-granting is admissible in exceptional cases only. • While the primary responsibility to ensure the accountable and efficient use of SHF remains with the implementing partners, SHF will maintain the oversight through the application of its accountability tools.

2. Review of projects • Project proposals will undergo both a ‘strategic’ and a ‘technical’ review process using the Grant

20

3 March 2020 Management System (GMS).

o For the strategic review, Strategic Review Committees (SRCs) will be convened (with multi- cluster composition for integrated projects). o During the Technical Review (technical experts from the relevant cluster and HFU staff), further attention is paid to the following: . The technical soundness/quality of the proposal . The financial efficiency of the project . The coherence between the narrative, work-plan, log-frame and budget. . The complementarity and consistency of projects across sectors, seeking to build synergies with other sectors. • The selection of partners and projects through SRCs should be conducted with the help of pre-defined score- cards. Selected interventions should demonstrate (i) strategic relevance; (ii) programmatic relevance; and (iii) cost effectiveness / value for money. Integrated response envelope submissions will also be assessed against (iv) integration. Scorecards should be recorded in the GMS by clusters to ensure transparency and accountability of the allocation process. • To ensure timely allocation and disbursement of funds, only three technical revision rounds will be allowed for selected proposals. The partners are required to respond to comments and perform adjustments within the time set at the time of review (usually within 48 hours) and, in case of lack of clarity, be in direct touch with OCHA Somalia HFU (see contact details below) and/or cluster coordinators. Projects that fail to reach the required level of quality after three rounds of revision may not be funded, and the funding earmarked for the project may be relocated to other priorities, projects or clusters.

3. Budgeting and finance

• Projects that can demonstrate ‘value for money’ relative to the project budget should be prioritized. Factors to consider include maximum reach and impact for given cost, outcome and beneficiary reach for each dollar invested, cost effectiveness of the intervention including, minimizing support and overhead costs. • Projects that can demonstrate low indirect costs as a proportion of direct costs should be ranked favourably. See SHF Operational Manual, Annex 2 – Budget Guidance (a); and Budget guidance preparation note (b). • To reduce overhead costs, pass through arrangements where organisations simply pass on funding to their implementing partner organisation without providing any meaningful guidance, coordination, capacity building, technical advice, monitoring and evaluation capacities or any other function of additional value will not be funded. • Partners with submissions across different clusters should ensure that common costs (administrative and operational) are rationalised. • Partners should adhere to the Country-Based Pooled Funds / SHF basic definitions and guidance including on project budget preparation, use of budget narrative and itemized budgetary breakdowns (see SHF Operational Manual and its annexes).
