2.2 Allocation Breakdown2

2.2.1 Allocation by Agency Type Allocation by type of agency International and national NGOs received 56 per cent of the total allocation, supporting 30 projects. In 2014, the HRF opened direct access to a national NGO. UN agencies received 44 per cent of HRF funding for eight projects. Allocations for UN agencies mainly included support to the national pipelines of nutrition supplies (CSB, RUTF and Oil) and common humanitarian air service operations that serve humanitarian partners.

2.2.2 Allocation by Location Allocation by number of projects Given the influx of South Sudanese refugees, some 27 per cent of HRF funding went to Gambella region to respond to the humanitarian needs both of the refugee population and host community. The second highest allocation was made to Somali region, mainly in support of emergency WASH projects.

Allocation by region

2 The amount of disbursements and the remaining balance of the Fund are estimated based on in country programmatic figures. The disbursement figures in the Annual Report reflect the decision date of each funded project and may not match the financial records of total allocation amounts of the Fund (at HQ), particularly for projects approved towards or at the end of a calendar year.

18 | Page

2.2.3 Allocation by Sector Comparable with the past three years, nutrition was the highest funded sector. Aligned with the national strategy, the HRF prioritizes nutrition interventions to support severely and moderately malnourished children under five years of age and pregnant and lactating women. The Fund also invests significantly in national pipelines, contributing to bulk purchases of nutrition supplies (CSB, RUTF and oil), which are critical for the treatment of cases.

The second highest funded sector was WASH, followed by common services. Due to the critical water shortages that emerged in the northern and south-eastern parts of the country in the second half of the year. The HRF supported approximately eleven stand-alone WASH response projects in addition to projects integrated with other interventions. Support to the United Nations- administered humanitarian air operations also received notable support as part of the common service sector.

Allocation by sector

2.2.4 Acceptance versus Rejection Rate

The HRF received a total of 52 applications from various partners out of which 38 projects were approved. Submitted applications were initially reviewed by the HRF to ensure conformity with CBPF guidelines and later forwarded to the respective cluster for technical review. Finally, cleared applications were presented to the HRF Review Board for funding recommendations to the HC. Out of 14 projects, 13 were rejected by the HRF team at preliminary review stage and one was rejected by the HRF Review Board.

In 2014, the HRF also funded an ACF study on the causality of malnutrition in the East Hararge zone of Oromia after the HRF Review Board required more evidence about effective programming in the sector that receives the highest support from the Fund. The findings, which showed the importance of awareness- raising components of emergency nutrition programmes, have already been applied to the vetting of subsequent nutrition proposals.

Late engagement of partners, especially signing of MOUs in some of the regions also contributed to delays in strengthening the emergency nutrition response. Inadequate numbers of health extension workers (HEW) and staff turnover were among the challenges that partners working on the management of malnutrition faced in some of the hotspot woredas in 2014.

She said “I joined this group and learned to initiate early breastfeeding to my youngest child. I never did this before as I thought that the first breast milk, colostrum, would make a new born sick and that I would not produce milk for the first few days”.

Innovative Approach: Donkeys to Sustain CMAM Service in Rural Ethiopia The International Medical Corps (IMC) implemented two emergency nutrition projects in East Hararge (Oromia) and Wolayita (SNNPR) zones in 2014 targeting the most vulnerable members of the community, children under-five and pregnant and breastfeeding women.

As part of CMAM, IMC provides logistical support in transporting RUTF, medications and other supplies to health posts, often in very remote, hard to reach locations. To ensure that both health workers and supplies reached even the most inaccessible areas and could sustain nutrition interventions, IMC started to provide an inexpensive and efficient means of transport: donkeys. A total of 18 donkeys with carts and saddles were provided, including six donkeys to the Wolayita project site servicing six health facilities in Humbo and Boloso Sore woredas, and 12 donkeys with saddles and two carts Donkeys transporting RUTF and routine supporting twelve health facilities in Gursum, medication from Sentala health center to Bilisum Chinaksen, Midega Tolla, Gola-oda, and Fedis health post in Gursum woreda, East Hararghe woredas in East Hararge. The donkeys (Photo, IMC, 2014) significantly contributed to reduced transport costs and improved CMAM services.

Some local government officials were initially resistant to accept donkeys to transport supplies to remote health posts due to concerns over who would be responsible for the management and upkeep of the donkeys. After discussions and negotiations, officials accepted the approach and became so convinced of their positive contribution that woreda and health post officials committed to allocating an annual budget for the donkeys’ food and health maintenance.

According to the Gursum woreda nutrition focal point, “the rural health posts in these woredas were facing difficulties, especially during the rainy season, to transport materials because of inaccessibility due to flooding that caused interruptions in managing severe cases in remote locations. The donkeys provided several benefits for the health centers and health posts through transporting RUTF, vaccines and fetching water for treatment of SAM children”.

WASH

Water shortages remained a critical concern in 2014, particularly in the water insecure dry belts of Afar region, the lowlands of Oromia region (Bale, Borena, East Hararge, West Hararge and Guji zones), pocket areas in Amhara region, significant parts of Somali and southern zone of Tigray regions. At the height of the water shortages, the people in the affected regions were forced to migrate in search of water and pasture. The situation was further exacerbated as several existing water schemes were not operational. Furthermore, Gambella region became a priority for the WASH sector as the existing water resources and systems were overstretched with the high arrival of South Sudanese refugees.

At the height of the emergency in mid- 2014, the WASH cluster in collaboration with the HRF issued a ‘call for proposal’ to coordinate and prioritize the response. A technical response criteria was developed which called for a holistic approach to reduce the impact of the drought on vulnerable populations through rehabilitation and expansion of existing water schemes, while undertaking short-term voucher- based water trucking to restore accessibility of potable water in the targeted areas. Afar, Oromia and Somali regions were prioritized for the emergency intervention.

The HRF allocated its second biggest funding allocation of $ 5.5 million to A mother collecting water at CRS rehabilitated borehole, Burka the WASH sector supporting 12 dimtu Woreda, West Hararghe Zone, Oromia Region..(Photo, partners. The HRF funding covered OCHA, 2014) 26 | Page

With the support of the HRF, GOAL Ethiopia implemented an emergency water trucking intervention in Dire and Miyo woredas of the Borena zone, Oromia region. Between October and December GOAL reached 12,105 people with life- saving water supplies.

To ensure fair wateer distributioon, GOAL introduced a voucher system, whereby vouchers were provided to targeted beneficiaries for thhe acquisition of pre- determined quantiities of water. Cash transfer payment was undertaken to the supplier against the submitted vouchers.

One registered beneficiary stated: “Before, a beneficiary with a lot of jerry cans was able to take more water regardless of the size of the household, whereas a beneficiary with less jerry cans was limited in the amouunt of water he/she could take. The implementation of the voucher system ensured that the water provided by GOAL Ethiopia was distributed fairly by taking the household size into account regardless of the amount of jerry cans A beneficiary displaying her water available at household level”. ration voucher, Borena, Oromia (Photo, GOAL) At the initial stage of implementation, the voucher system faced some challenges including rejection by beneficiaries to adopt the system, which was later on overcome by awareness raising campaigns.

The significant influx of South Sudanese refugees into Gambella region contributed to the increased vulnerability of the population to communicable diseases. Many of the refugees came from regions with poor health infrastructure and services and limited vaccination coverage, including for measles. The South Sudan Ministry of Health’s declaration of an acute watery diarrhea outbreak on 4 May underlined the urgent need to strengthen the already overstretched health system in Gambella. Confirmed cases of hepatitis E and measles in the refugee camps further exacerbated the situation.

The HRF supported two projects implemented by WHO and UNICEF for a total of $936,123 to respond to the different health sector priorities. A health project integrated with WASH was also supported in Afar to support flood affected communities in Zone three (Amibara, Buremudaytu and Gewane woredas). Improving access to quality basic health services for the refugees and enhancing and improving the health system in the hosting as well as neighboring woredas were prioritized. The funding supported the management of Public Health Emergencies (PHEs) including the provision of quality vaccination programmes, supply of long-lasting impregnated nets (LLINs) and other lifesaving drugs in the camps to control vaccine preventable diseases and other diseases posing a risk to public health.
