1. Project Background:

ActionAid Somalia, in partnership with CPD and local government authorities, is implementing an integrated humanitarian and resilience project in Beledweyne and Jowhar Districts targeting 36,060 vulnerable people affected by recurrent floods, droughts, displacement, food insecurity, and protection risks. The project focuses on three key results:

Result 1: Improved Access to WASH Services

Result 2: Strengthened Food Security and Livelihoods

Result 3: Enhanced Protection and Support Services

ActionAid International Somalia (AAIS) will construct a total of 150 gender-friendly latrines segregated by gender with 18 of them being PWD latrines in sites close to settlements to reduce the risk of protection issues such as GBV in IDPs camps and host communities in Beledweyne District. AAIS will conduct site selection with community representatives, women, and girls to ensure access, safety, and protection concerns are adequately considered as well as in collaboration with the local authorities. For enhancement in protection and dignity, latrines will be separated based on gender and have lockable doors (inside). Appropriate local technology options will be considered for cost-effectiveness and environmentally friendly. Each communal latrine will be shared by 20 persons to meet the emergency minimum guideline of Somalia WASH Cluster standards. During the construction phase, the AAIS Field Officer and Site Engineer will regularly supervise the work to ensure proper execution.
