NERF: Resilience Plus

The “Resilience Plus” programme led by consortium partners Mercy Corps and Plan International aims to reach approximately 2660 people (5330 HHs) across Provinces 1, 2, 5 and 7. The goal of the programme is to ensure COVID-19-related resilience of vulnerable households is strengthened through the value voucher distribution and integrated access to improve to protection services and linkages to safety nets. Issues of protection and inclusion will be mainstreamed through the project, it includes key activities under Objective 2. Consortium teams will be trained on protection, inclusion, and safeguarding, with consortium members responsible for flowing down this content to local partners. The programme will also engage with the government at multiple levels to advocate for protection and inclusion issues. This will include supporting the local government to activate and implement the protection coordination mechanism. The programme will undertake service mapping and awareness-raising of available services, to ensure people at risk of protection issues have access to preventive and response services for issues like SGBV, and providing emergency referral services for those vulnerable to, or survivors of, VAWG, including SGBV. Gender is a central compounding disadvantage, so the program will mainstream gender through the project and strive to incorporate gender minimum standards, and incorporate analysis on gender dynamics and decision making at the household level during the needs assessment and PDM, to ensure the programme is gender sensitive. The consortium will ensure attention to gender issues in HR, recruitment, and consortium staff orientation will be a priority. The consortium’s Steering Committee will regularly review gender and inclusion disaggregated data, to ensure responsive programming.
