Projects must demonstrate an innovative and interdisciplinary approach (two or more disciplines), yielding new conceptual understanding on one or more of the following four sub-themes: a) Planning: In the context of the large, dispersed and unplanned cities of the global south, planning for resilience becomes a matter of collaborative initiative involving a host of actors and sentient infrastructures. This requires mobilising plural and interdisciplinary knowledges, both for understanding and for acting in intelligent ways. b) People: Human vulnerability and resilience go hand in hand. The poor are deprived in plural ways, but also forced to become resilient subjects, making use of the city and their know-how in imaginative ways. c) Infrastructure: Cities are held together by infrastructures, which also instantiate and regulate social life in quite strong ways. In the global south the infrastructures are broken, incomplete, badly regulated, underfunded and often reliant on vernacular improvisations. Technical solutions alone will go only so far, and are expensive. d) Habitat: The urban habitat is central to resilience, in the form of lived experience, the consequences of emissions and heating, the formation of symbolic and public culture, the consequences of urban architecture and design. This is an obvious terrain for interdisciplinary work on jointly making sense of how habitats can be managed as a silent form of 'atmospheric' regulation.

In the light of food shortages and loss of local incomes arising from the continuation of Covid-19 outbreaks in Nepal, mountain communities in areas like the Tsum Nubri are highly vulnerable, given that it is deemed to be a highly food insecure area. With external support from funding bodies like CAFOD scheduled to taper off in October 2020, local communities in the Tsum Valley have asked CAN to consolidate these agricultural and livelihoods interventions for a further year. Subject to continued funding the extended project will work 15 CBOs/mothers’ groups across the Chumchet and Chekamparo wards in the Tsum Nubri Rural Municipality and will seek to target local subsistence farmers, mother’s groups, vulnerable groups and local monks. There will be 277 direct beneficiaries including 227 female householders, 10 subsistence farmers and 40 monks with indirect beneficiaries in the region of 1,600+ villagers. To extend the project, funding is requested from CAFOD to maintain the deployment of two JTAs to help 15 target communities improve the sustainability of locally produced food in the face of the Covid-19 outbreak and to minimise food shortages.

Five UK development and Humanitarian agencies: Action Aid, Christian Aid, CAFOD, Oxfam GB and Tearfund have been collaborating since 2012 to research our experiences of Partnership working in humanitarian responses and to develop policy and advocacy positions to promote partnerships approaches throughout international and humanitarian systems. This fourth piece of research will build on the previous body of evidence and contribute towards the drive towards localisation by: Conducting an in-depth study of the Nepal earthquake response to explore how the humanitarian system can move towards a more collaborative approach between national and international humanitarian organisations in an acute fast-onset crisis. This is based on the assumption that the expectations of national governments will increasingly be to ensure that the humanitarian response is locally-led and of high quality, as it was in Nepal; this is indicative of the new norm within the humanitarian sector. This research will also consider how best to contribute to the development of preparedness measures (potentially through a preparedness agreement, or other framework) with an increased role for national and local organisations in Nepal and other countries.

EA31/2015 is year 1 of a 3-5 year recovery programme planned by Caritas Nepal. CAFOD plans to support years 1-3 through CAFOD and Trocaire Appeal funds, and Vastenkatie contributions. Caritas Nepal will use a holistic recovery approach that integrates permanent Shelter, Livelihood, WASH, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR), and Protection solutions for earthquake affected households and communities. This holistic approach will apply community driven and people centred recovery and reconstruction methods. They will work in 8 VDCs in 4 Districts, and aim to support around 6226 families. For Shelter interventions C Nepal is focussing on three districts excluding Sinduli district. The sector specific strategic objectives are: • Shelter: Households live in safe and adequate earthquake resistant houses • WASH: Target households have increased availability to, and make safe use of, water and sanitation facilities, and take action to protect themselves against threats to public health • Livelihoods and DRR: Earthquake-affected households have enhanced income and livelihood security, and the capacity of communities and Caritas Nepal to prepare for and respond to disasters is improved • Protection and Psycho-social Support: Communities affected by the earthquake are able to access safe, dignified and accessible programming that enhances their physical and mental well-being

The project will support 3,000 families in 4-6 Village Development Committee (VDC) areas to winterize their homes by the end of November 2015. The priority VDCs are those above 1,500m; additional VDCs may be added depending on the government’s final winterization policy. Delivery mechanisms may include in-kind distribution, conditional cash transfers, and/or vouchers, depending on local context and market conditions. Although not finalized the winterization package ($130/HH) under consideration is composed of: 4 blankets (regular and fleece), 2 tarps, 20m rope, tie wire, 1.5m of 12mm foam, solar lamp, and a cash supplement (meant for clothes, fuel/firewood, hiring labourers, and/or timber). To meet the high demand for labour during the reconstruction phase, CRS/Caritas will also provide technical training to approximately 162 unskilled and 81 skilled labourers in the target VDCs by the end of April 2016. Training on improved shelter construction techniques will be provided through village-level demonstration models that showcase appropriate types of construction methods to labourers, households and field staff.

FCDO's WASH Systems for Health Programme (WS4H) aims to support government-led initiatives to accelerate progress in their WASH priorities. The theory of change (TOC) sets out change pathways to drive performance improvements in focus WASH systems building blocks at national and selected sub-national levels to contribute to increased access and use of sustainable, inclusive and climate-resilient WASH services. Through collective actions with government and stakeholders, this will contribute to a progressive reduction in WASH-related diseases, particularly for women, children and infants in underserved, climate-vulnerable locations in Bangladesh and Nepal. In Bangladesh, we will work with rural Union Parishad and urban Municipality governments across two climate-vulnerable Upazilas (sub-districts) and at the national level to operationalize the National Strategy for Water Supply and Sanitation (NSWSS 2021) and support the transition to safely managed service levels for rural water supply and small-town sanitation. The project will work with mandated institutions, including Department for Public Health Engineering (DPHE) and Local Government Institutions (LGIs), as well as private sector and community organizations to demonstrate models for safely managed, climate resilient WASH services; increase women's leadership for WASH to improve gender responsiveness; expand use of the Integrated Municipal Information System (IMIS) and participatory mechanisms for planning, financing, monitoring and regulating inclusive and resilient WASH services; and utilize learning platforms for replication and policy improvements. In Nepal, we will strengthen systems for decentralized WASH service delivery, focusing on safely managed, gender-responsive sanitation and hygiene service delivery in rural areas by leveraging the legal, political and institutional mechanisms that can support the three autonomous tiers of government to connect and function effectively as a system. The approach aims to improve system performance at the federal level, within two targeted provinces, and with one target District Coordination Committee (DCC) in each province. It will involve supporting the development of provincial legal frameworks for WASH, working with local governments in two provinces to prepare and utilize data-driven WASH plans and budgets, improving public finance flows, and building capacities for political advocacy by civil society networks and local government for prioritization and commitment for WASH at all levels

Sexual exploitation of children (SEC) is a grave violation of children’s rights and affects millions of children and youth annually, regardless of gender. No region, country or child is immune, though girls, boys and children with other gender identities face differing levels of risk to different manifestations of SEC depending on their intersectional vulnerability factors. It impacts heavily and long lastingly on their physical, emotional and mental well-being. It deprives children and youth of establishing healthy (sexual) relationships and from developing to the best of their potential. The SUFASEC programme is designed to combat SEC and will work in 12 countries in Latin America and South East Asia: Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Laos, Nepal, Philippines and Thailand.

In the BBB Programme the overall goal is to ensure that children and youth are better protected when at risk or victim of sexual exploitation in the times of Covid-19. This will be achieved through five (5) outcomes: 1. Children (in particular victims and those at risk of SEC) are able to access specialised services that protect them, help them rehabilitate, reintegrate and reduce their vulnerability to SEC in the context of Covid-19. 2. Children and youth are able to advocate for continued SEC prevention and response in the context of Covid-19. 3. Parents, caregivers, and community leaders are strengthened to provide a protective shield around children against SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 4. Actors in the Child Protection System are strengthened in multi-stakeholder settings to prevent and advocate for protection from SEC, in the context of Covid-19. 5. Intergovernmental bodies at regional and international level, governments and the private sector prioritize SEC within the wider child protection agenda in building back better during and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
