General
The Dominican Republic is highly vulnerable to climatic events such as sea-level rise and frequent hurricanes that lead to flooding and landslides. In contrast, climate change is resulting in periods of drought with severe effects in certain territories of the country. In addition, there is high exposure to geophysical hazards such as earthquakes, some of them with magnitudes greater than five degrees. In this context, the Dominican Republic requires short- and medium-term actions that integrate measures related to human mobility, such as such as the development and implementation of disaster contingency plans in the short term and the planning and relocation of communities as a medium-term solution, as indicated in the National Development Strategy 2030.This project will contribute to increasing the resilience of communities in risk areas and reducing the vulnerability caused by internal mobility in the face of disasters, environmental degradation and climate change, taking into account the differentiated needs of men, women and vulnerable groups. To meet this objective, a gender-sensitive methodology will be developed to identify, characterise and assess the needs of communities in areas likely to be subject to land-use change and planned relocation (Output 1.1). Furthermore, National, Regional and Municipal Land Management Plans that take into account the relocation of communities in highly vulnerable areas will be developed (Output 1.2). Finally, Provincial Emergency, Contingency and Risk Management Plans for the Provincial Committees of Prevention, Mitigation and Response of two provinces vulnerable to the risk generated by disasters, environmental degradation and climate change will be developed (Output 1.3). As a result, the Ministry of Economy, Planning and Development, as the leader of the National Land Management System, will be capable of identifying human settlements in risk areas with relocation needs in the short- or medium-term in accordance with international standards and best practices.
Dhulka Nabaada (The Land of Peace): Supporting Land Reform in Somalia
General
This project supports four federal member states in Somalia with land reform initiatives and the integration of land dispute resolution mechanisms. Through high-level capacity building and policy development support, this project strengthens the institutional structures needed to address pressing land issues across Somalia. The project also facilitates and provides support to state and community-led initiatives to promote and provide training on peaceful conflict transformation and rights protection.
Life-Saving Support for Drought Affected Communities in Belet Weyne
General
Somalia is one of the most severely drought-impacted countries in the Horn of Africa. It is currently suffering the most severe drought in the last four decades, with around 7.8 million people in need of humanitarian assistance and protection. The ongoing drought has caused widespread crop failure, increased displacement, high levels of livestock migration and deaths. These, together with conflict, are the main push factors for internal displacement. The project's overall objective is to expand the geographical coverage of the Minimum Response Package (MRP)'s assistance to Belet Weyne in the southwest region of Somalia. The activities are designed to deliver life-saving interventions to a total of 3,500 households in the designated areas. The interventions are increasing essential service provision in terms of water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH), Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM), supporting land tenure security and shelter of the new arrivals ensuring the inclusion of minority groups, as well as improving data collection tools and analysis.
Reintegration and Shelter Support to Returnees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), and Host Communities in B
General
Since the inauguration of a new government in Burundi, following elections in May-June 2020, there is an improvement of the political and security situation in the country. This has contributed to the voluntary return of a considerable number of refugees from neighbouring countries to their provinces of origin and others continue to express willingness to return home. In most areas of return, the availability of financial resources, basic shelter and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services are already strained, and currently stretched even further with the arrival of returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) who have been negatively affected by disasters (mainly floods, landslides, torrential rains). This project aims to contribute to the longer-term support, reintegration, recovery and resilience of returnees, IDPs, and their communities through: (1) implementing small grants mechanisms aimed at conflict prevention and peace building and livelihoods trainings; (2) the provision of shelter, non-food items, and sanitation and hygiene support for vulnerable displaced populations; and (3) strengthening the delivery of direct assistance and services to meet land access-related protection needs and risks experienced by returnees, including through already strengthened mapping of services, referrals, and case management.
