enO Programme Association together with 4H Tanzania will implement a project for improving environmental awareness in the Iringa Njombe Morogoro and Ruvuma areas in Tanzania. The proposed project will raise awareness of sustainable development issues in sc hools and communities and create a road map for schools to be used around the world for planning and implementing such activities in the communities. The schools are encouraged to adopt the issues in formulating and designing their curricula content to cre ate a wider understanding of sustainable development. Tanzania is rich in natural resources but the rapid population growth and an increased need for living space and agricultural land as well as industrial activities have contributed to increase the count ry?s deforestation. Approximately 450 000ha of forest land is deforested in Tanzania annually. Deforestation is one of the contributors to for example climate change soil erosion biodiversity loss and loss of fertility in farms. Tanzania has identified tha t the lack of human capacity is hindering development. Therefore actions to address the capacity issue as well as understanding of natural resources have been identified crucial. The project aims at educating the children and youth on environmental awarene ss and sustainable development for them to understand the effects of forests and deforestation to the environment. The overall goal is to raise an environmentally conscious generation which will consider sustainable development issues in their everyday act ivities automatically whether it is in their personal life or working life. A road map for schools around the world will be designed and published. The road map can be used for introducing sustainable development and environmental issues to the public auth orities to encourage them in including them in the school curricula and extra-curricula activities. Case studies of successful sustainable development inclusions will also be presented.

There is a urgent need for provision of water and sanitation services as basic human right and enforcement of relevant regulations that affecting the improvement peri-urban settlements in Zambia which requires to be improved for both the livelihood and the environment. The Overall Objective of the Project is to Upscale the Implementation + Operationalise through Public Private Partnership the lessons learnt from Zambia Sustainable Sanitation Improvement Project (SSIP) a 6 years Longitudinal Action Ori ented Research Recommendations implemented by NECOS + Its International Partner GDTF. The project will promote equal access to clean water better sanitation and safe environment for the targeted communities. For some time NECOS has been pioneering alter native methods of providing sanitation services in peri-urban areas taking into account the need to protect contamination of underground water and the environment in general. The project promotes the assertion that equality between women and men is fundame ntal to tackling poverty and promoting meaningful and lasting improvements in the quality of community life. The construction dry toilets will significantly expected to contribute to improved peri-urban areas if intervention actions are taken. NECOS striv es to raise the standard of living and improved community healthy to reduce the environment health risks and costs of public health importance. The project planned to construct 150 dry toilets + build on the achievements of the six (6 years) longitu dinal action oriented research on the social-cultural sanitation financing mechanisms and the upgrading of the peri urban living environment. The main beneficiaries of the proposed project are the vulnerable people in the four 4 Constituencies and 8 W ards with population estimated at 18000 of the peri- urban residents including the councilors and area members of parliament.

Objectives

This project is intended to strengthen the protection and lifesaving of displacement affected communities in the assessed IDP sites in Kaxda and Daynile districts in Mogadishu through Shelter amp NFIs response as per cluster-specific objectives. This project is part of complementarity integrated multi-sectoral packages including CCCM and Protection (HLP, GBV, CP, amp GP) with other humanitarian organizations to jointly implement this package for these districts CCCM amp HLP for NoFYL, IRRDO for GBV, SSWC for GP, and CP for SWDC to address acute humanitarian needs of same sites and same populations. The project is prioritizing most vulnerable IDP families including women, girls, persons with disabilities and women headed households. In order to ensure centrality of protection the project will use community participatory approach in collaboration with different levels of the community including marginalized groups as well as camp committees who have already participated during assessment survey and project designing stage. This project is specifically designed to directly assist 9,420 people (1,570HHs) selected from 15 IDP sites (5 in Kaxda and 10 in Daynile districts) through survey assessment conducted by HINNA in terms of their vulnerability criteria in shelter and NFIs assistance including women: 1,507, men: 1,507, boys: 3,203, and girls: 3203. The IDP sites assessed include: (1) Baarliin, (2) Ciidyare, (3) Bismillaah, (4) Yaaqle 2 and (5)Saacid in Kaxda district, and (1)Duco-waalid, (2)Hadii la yaabo Yasinka, (3) Maalincad, (4) Iimey, (5) Yaa Allah, (6) Guryasamo, (7) Ismahurto, (8) Maansoor, (9) Banooda, (10) Oromada in Daynile. During the survey assessment, the target IDP communities of this project have collectively demanded in-kind distribution of NFIs and direct construction of ESKs intervention rather than the cash-based approach that can contribute to local inflation and poses security risks. They have also mentioned that IDPs and landowners have jointly agreed three to five years of land tenure with the presence of the existing camp committees and local authorities. In summary, the project will directly construct 1570 ESKs and distrribute1570 NFIs to same beneficiaries of 1570hhs (9,420 individuals) as each IDP family will receive one constructed shelter and one NFI kit. At the onset of the project, 200 from community levels will be mobilized and sensitized on project scope and information as well as the beneficiaries’ selection process. PCM/PDM exercise will be conducted four to six weeks after the construction and distribution to know more about the future preference of IDP communities. A Complaint Response and Feedback Mechanism (CRFM) will be set up so that anyone with complaints about the beneficiaries’ selection process or any other issue will be able to complain. A hot-line will be available for anyone to forward his/her complaints. Secondly, complaints will be channeled through CRFM desk attendants and HINNA MampE team on the ground, settlement leaders and community elders. The project will consider the protection mainstreaming of gender and GBV related issues, as well as disability inclusion is matter in both the response and it’s monitoring to ensure safety and dignity as well as accountability to the affected target populations.
