Through the proposed CERF intervention for Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFIs), IOM and
its operational partners will support a total of 8,659 households (46,975 individuals) through
provision of either life-saving emergency shelter (in-kind), NFI (in-kind), cash for NFI and/or
provision of Shelter repair kits in Amhara, Afar, Oromia, Somali and Tigray regions in Ethiopia. The
overall objective of the project is to restore dignified living conditions and access to essential
household items for IDPs and returnees. The implementing partners are Development for Peace
Organization (DPO), Community in Action Against Poverty (CAAP), Voice of Wilderness Development
Organization (VWDO) and Peoples Action for Development PAD.

The response under this project will include:

1. Provision of in-kind emergency shelter and NFI kits. 2. Provision of Shelter repair assistance and
Cash for local material and labor
3. Provision of cash assistance for NFIs, based on need and appropriateness.
4. Technical training on shelter repair assistance and construction
5. House Land and Property (HLP) support to all Households supported with shelter rehabilitation
The targets for this response are returnees and IDPs living in camp-like settings sometimes in open
spaces without protection from climate hazards and other protection risks and those who have
managed to return to their place of origin but whose houses are fully or partially damaged.

Activities overview

IOM and its implementing partners will support vulnerable households in Afar, Tigray, Oromia, and
Somali with provision of life-saving emergency shelter (in-kind), NFI (in-kind) or cash for NFI.The
Emergency Shelter kits will include two (2) plastic tarpaulin sheets and rope while the NFI kit is
comprised of kitchen set, (2) sleeping mats, (2) blankets, (2) mosquito nets, NFI bag, washing basin,
kettle, handwashing jug and basin set, jerry cans and soap. For people with disabilities, a distinct
ES/NFI Disability Inclusion (DI) kit will be provided. Cash for NFI assistances will be provided to
enable conflict or drought-affected households purchase household items from local markets. Each
beneficiary household will receive a one-time payment of 100 USD to purchase NFIs. The targeting
criteria will be further refined as per the assessment findings in each location. Nevertheless, the
plan is to target drought and/or conflict-affected, food insecure, vulnerable households such as HHs
with no employment, financial support or have lost source of income including female, child,
elderly, and persons with disability, households with pregnant or lactating women. IOM and its
implementing partners will work contingently with the ES/NFI Cluster to identify and target the
most vulnerable groups.
IOM also proposes to support conflict affected households (returnee -IDPs) and host community in
Tigray and Amhara regions through the provision of in-kind shelter repair kits and cash for purchase
local materials and labor.

Locations and beneficiaries' distribution

The beneficiaries are distributed; accordingly,21.3% Tigray,6.4% Amhara, 12.3% in Afar, 35.8%
Somali and 24.2% Oromia.

1. Rationale

The project target drought and/or conflict-affected, food insecure, vulnerable households such
as HHs with no employment, financial support or have lost source of income including
female, child, elderly, and persons with disability, households with pregnant or lactating

women. IOM and its implementing partners will work contingently with the ES/NFI Cluster
to identify and target the most vulnerable groups.

2. Project Description

Through the proposed CERF intervention for Emergency Shelter and Non-Food Items
(NFIs), IOM and its operational partners will support a total of 8,659 households (46,975
individuals) through provision of either life-saving emergency shelter (in-kind), NFI (in-
kind), cash for NFI and/or provision of Shelter repair kits in Amhara, Afar, Oromia, Somali
and Tigray regions in Ethiopia. The overall objective of the project is to restore dignified
living conditions and access to essential household items for IDPs and returnees. The
implementing partners are Development for Peace Organization (DPO), Community in
Action Against Poverty (CAAP), Voice of Wilderness Development Organization (VWDO)
and Peoples Action for Development PAD

3. Partnerships and Coordination

IOM at all levels of project intervention confirms that a strong and regular coordination is
maintained with all implementing partners in the respective target locations. As a Cluster Lead
Agency (CLA), IOM in addition works closely with the Inter Cluster Coordination Group (ICCG) both
nationally and at the field level through the national and subnational Shelter/NFI clusters. IOM also
actively participates in the Ethiopian Humanitarian Country Team (EHCT), CLA, and other forums in
the country. Furthermore, IOM is a Co-lead for Cash Working Group Ethiopia (ECWG), is a member
of Strategic Advisory Group and hosting Cash Cap advisor staff who is supporting the CWG with
advisory role. IOM has been actively participating in the National as well as sub-national CWG where
the working group is active including Amhara and Tigray.
Moreover, IOM at the national, regional, and respective Woreda and kebele level closely works with
the local government offices and respective focal points to maintain strong working relationships
thereby ensuring a timely information sharing, informed decision by target beneficiaries and proper
allocation of resources.
All activities and decisions will be coordinated with the national and subnational Shelter-NFI cluster
as well as local authorities. IOM will independently assess and verify the needs to ensure correct
targeting and prioritization.

4. Monitoring
IOM has an office in Addis Ababa and Sub-Offices across the country, including in Mekelle
and Shire (Tigray region), Semera (Afar region), Moyale (Oromia region) and Jigjiga (Somali
region). IOM has been providing emergency shelter and non-food items as well as cash-based
assistance across Ethiopia. Sufficient field-based Shelter NFI staffs are available in all the sub
offices who will primarily lead the field level activities while the overall coordination and
implementation of the project will be managed by Addis Ababa based program colleagues
within the Emergency and Post Crisis Unit. The project will use the ES/NFI Cluster's
severity/location and response prioritization and displacement risk mapping to ensure
appropriate identification of the most vulnerable group from the total affected population is
supported. IOM will select sub-implementing partners based on due diligence assessments,
recommendations from the ES/NFI cluster, prior experience in the relevant sectors and
operational capacity in the target locations. Sub-grant agreements will be put in place once

Page 3 of 9
the funding is approved, and this process is not anticipated to take more than a month. IOM
will travel to the project locations for supportive supervision of implementing partners. After
project kick off, the partners will implement the project activities over the course of 4-5
months including post-distribution monitoring and reporting.

IOM will closely monitor implementation of the project during beneficiary selection, registration and
verification and cash transfer. Post Distribution Monitoring team will be in place to conduct on-site
monitoring activity to analyze the effectiveness of repair kits utilization. Sample population from the
beneficiary group will be presented with follow-up FGDs and HH based questionnaires to gather
actual first-hand data on the feasibility of intervention. Furthermore, the beneficiary complaint
feedback mechanisms put in place will be further monitored which will serve as an input for
enhancing future program implementations.

5. Evaluation

Real-time evaluations will be carried out as needed to learn from the initial phases of the
interventions and identify lessons for the continuing project. IOM staff members will
examine the appropriateness, effectiveness, coverage, coordination and coherence of the
responses implemented. They will consider the extent to which general lessons from other
responses have been applied to current interventions. IOM Field, RO Nairobi, and
headquarters staff will use the learning from this ongoing evaluation to modify the planned
responses if appropriate.
Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDM) exercises will be periodically undertaken to ensure beneficiary
feedback is collected and built into programming. Assessment results and lessons learned will pave
the way forward for future interventions and will be shared with key stakeholders and in relevant
forums.
