Displaying 536 - 540 of 2117Urban Programme Climate Justice and a Fair City - 2016 bridge project (MDF)
General
This one-year bridge project seeks to extend the current phase of programme work on decent housing and climate change with CAFOD partners MDF and APOIO, continuing work on programmatic priority areas, incorporating a renewed focus on land tenure and use advocacy and dissemination of the pilot project on sustainable housing and urbanisation developed in 2015. This project will also incorporate lessons and recommendations from the 2013-2015 EU project external evaluation and findings, consolidating existing results in the current political and economic context and developing new areas of work to guide the next urban programme priorities from 2017 onwards. Using their past experience, participatory approaches and successful methodology of popular education, community organisation, women's participation and advocacy work, local partners APOIO and MDF will seek to influence the implementation and coordination of housing, climate change other and pro-poor urban policies. In spite of being one of the most affluent regions in Brazil, São Paulo has seen an increase in pockets of poverty and extreme poverty in the last decade, with many of the region's poorest citizens, around 30% of the population, living in favelas, informal occupations and precarious housing. The dynamic of land valorisation in the region is forcing the poorest population to live in degraded areas far away from jobs, basic services or in watershed areas and areas of environmental risk, vulnerable to flashfloods, landslides and climate impacts, aggravating existing socioeconomic vulnerabilities. The recent water supply crisis faced by São Paulo has impacted disproportionately on the poorest population, who are suffering ongoing water rationing, and higher costs of water and energy bills. Since 2011, São Paulo has seen a growth of 264% in urban occupations as a result of a housing deficit of 230,000 homes and the hike in land and rent prices which make housing unaffordable to the poor. 56% of the population living in these informal settlements lack access to water and sanitation services, which are restricted in areas that have no formal land titles. This project will tackle three inter-related problems to guarantee more effective social inclusion and urbanization: a) the lack of implementation of legal frameworks for land tenure regularization in the cities informal settlements and favelas, to reduce violent evictions, and improve land security and access to public services, such as water, sanitation and housing; b) The need for housing and social inclusion urban policies to take into account environmental factors and climate change adaptation and vice versa; c) building the awareness and capacity of women and men in the favelas, informal settlements and occupations and the housing movement leaders to know their rights and influence the above policies.
CCCM response for conflict affected population in Abyan, Lahj ,Marib, Hajja and Hodeida (Priority 2)
Objectives
The project aims at supporting 34,981 IDPs (7,724 men, 7,786 women, 9,557 girls, 9,914 boys) in 19 IDPs hosting sites (7 currently and 12 newly targeted sites) in five governorates ( Abyan, Lahj, Marib, Hajjah and Hodeida) to access life-saving and protection assistance. In the 7 sites (Hajjah and Lahj gov.) this project will ensure the continuation of CCCM programming and complementing with ICLA. The newly targeted sites are currently underserved and have highly vulnerable IDP populations. Therefore, the provision of CCCM programming will be essential to address the IDPs critical humanitarian assistance gaps NRC will use two modalities adapted to the contexts of each site. The first modality is localized CCCM approach in Hajjah and Hodeida governorate through the existing local partners. NRC has existing partnership agreements with national NGOs, Rawabi Alnahdhah for Development Foundation (RADF) and Jeel Al Bena Association for Humanitarian Development (JAAHD) and will expand its partnership under this project. These agencies are responsible for the implementation of site level management and coordination activities, while NRC provides technical and procurement support as well as continue to lead on area level coordination. The second modality is mobile CCCM teams in Lahj, Abyan and Marib. In all sites, NRC will apply a CCCM Mobile Site Management (MSM) approach to ensure that inter-agency coordination at site level is strengthened through timely and effective information management. NRC will conduct site monitoring and referral system which is enabled by site monitoring , and a functioning information sharing and feedback/complaint mechanisms, fostering accountability, community engagement and compliance with humanitarian standards. NRC will support committee-based community representation in the target sites where community representation is not yet functional, NRC will facilitate the selection and establishment of community representatives to be able to act as agents for their communities. The representatives will be trained on leadership, community-based planning methodologies and will receive technical and material support to implement small community-led solutions to identified problems, with an emphasis on the needs and inclusion of vulnerable groups such as women, girls, youth, and persons with disabilities. Access to Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights is one of the main issues that IDPs residing in displacement sites are facing with. NRC will, therefore, conduct awareness raising sessions on HLP rights, enabling IDPs to learn increase their knowledge about their rights to housing and land ownership and their to be saved safe against forced eviction. NRC will conduct forced eviction monitoring at the targeted sites to identify any potential threats of eviction. NRC will provide post-eviction cash to the vulnerable families to facilitate their relocation and settlement in the new sites. Access to Housing, Land and Property (HLP) rights is one of the main issues that IDPs residing in displacement sites are facing with. NRC will, therefore, conduct awareness raising sessions on HLP rights, enabling IDPs to learn increase their knowledge about their rights to housing and land ownership and their to be saved safe against forced eviction. NRC will conduct forced eviction monitoring at the targeted sites to identify any potential threats of eviction. NRC will build the capacity of those involved in addressing HLP disputes around the IDPs sites, including local authorities, Site Focal Points, humanitarian actors and community committee members.
