Priority Humanitarian Needs

What are the time critical needs in the sector(s)? Briefly describe the main problems and needs identified by recent needs

assessments and associated with the current emergency. Include date, location and methodology of the assessments (one page or

less).

The armed conflict in Colombia has increased despite the signing of the peace accords with the FARC in 2016, due to the reconfiguration of other illegal armed groups for the taking of spaces left by this guerrilla and the inoperativeness of the State to completely occupy these territories. In 2018, the humanitarian impact caused by emergencies related to the conflict, the increase in armed violence, and the occurrence of disasters associated with the climate, left a balance of 5.1 million persons with humanitarian needs1. The Department of Chocó is the fourth region with the largest population affected by the armed conflict in 2018, with 22,673 persons directly impacted. Internal forced displacement continues to be the victimizing act that most affects the Department’s population. According to the UARIV, there has been an increase in the number of victims of restrictions on access and confinement with 14,647 persons impacted. This is causing shortage of food as agricultural productive activities have been interrupted in at least % and the impossibility to perform traditional practices for obtaining food, such as hunting, fishing and harvesting of forest fruits. Currently there is a humanitarian crisis in the Department, which is increasing given the impacts of the conflict both in rural and

overview-hno-2019




urban areas. Humanitarian needs in 18 municipalities have already been classified as high. However, only 10 of them are currently being supported by International cooperation.2 According to needs assessments carried out by FAO during the second semester of 2018 with 294 families from the municipalities of Alto Baudó and Medio Baudó in the Department of Chocó, based on the Latin American and Caribbean Food Security Scale (ELCSA in Spanish) indicator, 36% of the households surveyed found themselves in severe food insecurity, 41% in moderate food insecurity, 18% in mild food insecurity, and only 5% were safe. Likewise, it was evidenced that the household diet diversity score (HDDS) of these families consisted in the consumption of 6 food groups out of 12, being cereals, oils, fats and sweets; roots and tubers; spices, condiments and beverages, the food groups to which families have greater access. Only 4% of families have access to fruits rich in vitamin A and 35% to dark green leafy vegetables, evidencing the critical situation in terms of nutritional gaps and food security of this population. On the other hand, forced displacements in the Department of Nariño persisted in the year 2018 with 13,263 individuals in this situation and there were mobility restrictions events in rural areas due to pollution with explosives, anti-personnel mines (MAP in Spanish), unexploded ordnance (UXO) as well as the armed groups’ actions, which affected 402,797 persons. This department concentrated 36% of the population (412,894) with humanitarian needs in food and nutrition security derived from the armed conflict and natural disasters3. By 2019, there is already a population of 1,161 persons with nutritional and food security needs, of which 263 families moved from rural areas of Tumaco to urban areas on January 23rd, due to clashes between unidentified armed groups. In general, the communities suffer a crisis in their food and nutritional security (FSN), where the most frequent conditions found in the needs assessments are4 :

Strict restrictions on mobility imposed by illegal armed groups, which impede the normal development of subsistence activities (hunting, fishing, gathering, handicrafts and production of traditional crops), generating food shortages.

Control of entrance and exit of food by illegal armed groups.

Risk of MAP that block the access of the communities to areas of cultivation, hunting and fishing.

Due to the deterioration of traditional livelihoods, families have sought other sources of food, which has increased their risks.

Families do not have the basic productive assets (seeds, tools and agricultural inputs) for a rapid recovery of food production.

Loss of key crops for the FNS, due to the displacement of communities for long periods of time and the recurrence of extreme weather events, mainly floods.

Lack of technical assistance from the Government and other organizations.

Communities have had to change their eating habits and sometimes spend days without food, due to the lack of crops for food production.

Protein sources are practically non-existent, which is critical with mobility restrictions and the high risks involved in traditional activities, such as hunting (due to the presence of MAPs).

Food shortages have particularly affected children and women of indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. Time is a critical factor for food production, which prevents the loss of human lives and the deterioration of the individuals’ nutritional health.

The displacement and recruitment of children and youths has caused the emigration of this population from the region and the loss of much of the vocation and traditions in agriculture, hunting and fishing.

In this sense, FAO’s project aims to ensure that the participating families recover the essential agricultural livelihoods for

their food and nutritional security (FNS) in the short time, under the protection and agro-climatic risk management

approaches, which guarantee a safe and resilient production of food in the emergency context.

Project summary

Provide a clear, concise description of the CERF project. Who is the target population (who, where, how many)? Wha,t are the

specific outputs? (one page or less)

The Project seeks to achieve the recovery of agricultural livelihoods essential for the food and nutritional security of families that are victims of the conflict and armed violence, especially the displaced and confined persons who face food crises due to food shortages in the departments of Nariño (municipalities of San Andrés de Tumaco and Barbacoas) and Chocó (municipalities of Medio Baudó, Alto Baudó and San José del Palmar). In total, 1,100 families will benefit from the CERF funded activities (600 families in the Department of Chocó and 500 families in the Department of Nariño), that is, approximately 5,500 persons, belonging to 27 communities as can be seen in the Annex 2 of this document, who were pre-selected under the following inclusion criteria:

The most impacted communities by displacement and restrictions to the mobility (Confinement);

Communities that are affected both by conflict and natural disasters;

Communities with high levels of food insecurity as a consequence of restrictions to the free mobilization;

Communities that have lost their crops due to displacement;

Communities that are difficult to access, with very little institutional presence, but with a reasonable logistics access. Prioritized families are constituted by 60% of Afro-descendant population, 30% by indigenous peoples (Awá in the Department of Nariño and Embera and Wounan in the Department of Chocó) and 10% by peasant families. The number of people per community depends on the families that inhabited each community and were preidentified for this project. The place that has the most quantity of people targeted, has 240 people, and the minor is 15. People targeted for each community is related in the Annex 2 of this document. The preselected communities are the most vulnerable/most in need, which in general terms share this characteristic. Therefore, all the families of the community are invited to participate. As can be seen in Annex 2, 1,217 families were preidentified and at least 1,100 are expected to participate. FAO’s CERF-funded project aims to achieve the following outputs, in order to overcome food crisis and recover the essential livelihoods of communities: Output 1: Targeted families quickly restore the production of basic crops, guaranteeing a timely response to the lack of food. The main input in the definition of plant and animal species to be produced to overcome the crisis due to food shortages is the establishment of an initial baseline to identify critical needs in food and nutrition security, particularly of the most vulnerable population (pregnant and lactating women, children under 5 years of age, persons with disabilities, in order to provide an answer to agriculture in emergencies sensitive to nutrition.) All 1,100 families (some 5,500 people) will subsequently be supplied with agricultural inputs (1,100 kits of materials, tools and fertilizers; 1,200 kits of hens and other small species, and 1,200 sacks of 40 kg of livestock supplies; 550 kits of fingerlings and feeding kits for fisheries activities, respectively; 1,100 kits of vegetable seeds and plantlets mainly for horticulture; 2,200 kilo of corn and bean seeds; 23,000 cangres of cassava cuttings; 1,100 kits of seeds of other local species and 1,100 kilos of seeds of other species such as fruit necessary for the production of food at the community and family levels (Annex 3). The agricultural inputs will be delivered during the third and fourth months of project execution. For logistical reasons, there will be at least three deliveries; the first with materials, tools and fertilizers; the second with seeds and plant material; and the third with breeding stock and animal feed. Taking into account the emergency due to food shortages faced by families, the input kits include short-cycle species seeds, with the first harvests of which obtained between two and four months of planting. Likewise, the animal species selected to supply high biological value protein to families are characterized by rapidly generating products for human consumption, for example, chickens will begin to produce eggs within three to four weeks of delivery. This is put together with early actions that would help to prevent the nutritional and health status of the participating population from worsening, particularly of the most vulnerable individuals. Without the delivery of this type of supplies, families will not be able to reactivate their productive capacity and their livelihoods will continue to deteriorate. They would depend on food aid responses, which would be unsustainable and goes against the right to a life with dignity, in a context where it is viable for the persons to obtain their food through agricultural activities. The type of agricultural inputs to be delivered will consider the cultural preferences of the communities, as well as the specific ergonomic needs




of women and young people. The kit of inputs will be defined in a participatory manner and will take into account the preferences of men and women . Also, Community lots for fast food production known as Community Training and Production Demonstration Centers (CDC), will be established, which will also serve as a space for the practical development of the training plan. The first harvest of short-cycle crops, such as corn, beans, rice and green beans, will be obtained from the CDC. 990 family productive units will be established with the objective of guaranteeing that each family produces their own food in the quantity and quality required, according to the number and type of household members. In these units, families will use the inputs and seeds supplied to apply what they learned in the CDC and reactivate food production in a safe manner; in the face of the threats associated with armed violence and under agro-climatic risk management criteria, understanding the double impact (conflict and disasters associated with climate), faced by pre-targeted families. In order to achieve this result, it will be essential to guarantee intensive technical assistance, in such a manner that the production gaps that arise in the CDC and in the family-lots can be overcome in a timely manner, including livestock production units for obtaining animal protein destined to self-consumption. Output 2: Communities have the capacity to rehabilitate and protect their essential livelihoods, applying techniques for fast, safe, diversified and resilient food production. This result is aimed at guaranteeing that families adequately use the agricultural inputs supplied, in such a manner that the quantity and quality of food required to cover the food needs of the participating households can be obtained. In this sense, the proposal includes an initial session day to make the project known, with each of the communities, for the official registration of the families in the project; an agreed session will also be held with each community, which will reconcile technical, methodological and operational aspects for a rapid response. The latter includes the definition of contributions and commitments of each of the parties. Capacity-building of communities will be guided through a training plan previously agreed upon with the participating communities, which includes the implementation of several training modules, always aimed at achieving rapid, safe and resilient food production for self-consumption in an emergency context, and that will be implemented starting from the middle of the second month of execution until the end of the project, in a permanent manner. Additionally, practical methodologies around the preparation and transformation of food will seek to improve the diversity of the households' diet and close the identified nutritional gaps. Capacity building is for the communities through the implementation of capacity building modules content in a training plan that was previously agreed with the communities. These modules will be developed during the entire duration of the project. Efforts will be made to link the educational institutions present in the territories, both in the rapid food production and in the strengthening of capacities. Most of the rural schools in the intervention zones have areas that can be used for agricultural activities and that would help to make up for the lack of food for the students' consumption. The project will start with a comprehensive analysis of the risks to which the participating communities are exposed (mainly MAP, UXO, pressure from illegal armed groups, floods, strong winds and landslides) and practical measures will be established in a participatory manner to reduce said risks, mitigate their negative effects on the safety and well-being of the population, as well as avoid the manifestation of new risks associated with the intervention, in line with the country's protection and gender strategy. Although rapid needs assessments have been developed by FAO and other actors in the project's intervention areas, which have showed the severity of the humanitarian emergency and the critical actions to be undertaken, usually the baseline or initial diagnosis is carried out once the official approval of the project is obtained, in order to assess the current food and nutrition security status of the targeted families and to measure the indicators and results achieved by the project. To this effect, the diagnosis is repeated in the final phase of the intervention. For clarity purposes, the weeks dedicated to the ex-post diagnosis have also been indicated in the implementation calendar.

Life-Saving Justification

How do the proposed activities adhere to the CERF’s Life-Saving Criteria? (half page or less)

(https://cerf.un.org/sites/default/files/resources/FINAL_Life-Saving_Criteria_26_Jan_2010__E_0.pdf)

Due to the dynamics of the conflict and armed violence, priority families do not have availability or access to sufficient and quality

food, particularly to cover the basic needs of the most vulnerable groups (pregnant and lactating women, children under 5 years of

age, older adults and persons with disabilities). This situation is critical given the resurgence of violence in the last six months.

According to the ELCSA indicators, at least 36% of households were identified in severe food insecurity in the intervention zones of

the proposal; 41% in moderate food insecurity; 18% in mild insecurity; and only 5% in the secured category. The household dietary

diversity score (HDDS) in the vulnerable communities targeted has been calculated between 4 to 6 points in a 12-point scale,

where the score is mainly given by foods such as cereals; oils, fats and sweets; roots and tubers; spices, condiments and

beverages; evidencing a low access to food sources of micronutrients, which are essential for the proper growth and development,

especially of the population under 5 years of age. In addition, according to the country indicators, usually 1 in every 4 children from

6 to 59 months has anemia: 1 in every 4 children under 5 years has vitamin A deficiency; 1 in every 2 children under 5 has Zinc

deficiency; and 1 in 10 children under 5 years of age has chronic malnutrition associated with deficiencies of Zinc, Vitamin A,

among others. Accordingly, the deterioration and inability of families to access the essential means of subsistence for food and

nutrition security worsens the above described situation and places them at high risk of illness and death associated with

malnutrition.

In this sense, the proposed activities seek to recover the family food production plots that were lost due to the forced and

unexpected departure of individuals from their territories. For this, the 1,100 participating families/households will be receiving

productive assets (1,100 kits of materials, tools and fertilizers; 1,200 kits of hens and other small species, and sacks of 40 kg of

livestock supplies; 550 kits of fingerlings and feeding kits for fisheries activities; 1,100 kits of vegetable seeds and plants mainly for

horticulture; 2,200 kilo of corn and bean seeds; 23,000 cangress of casava cuttings; 2,200 kilos of seeds of other local species and

2,200 kilos of seeds of other species as fruit, referred in annex 3 and the budget charter) that allow them to restore their livelihoods,

which are traditional and essential for their nutrition, in a short period of time. On the other hand, confined families will also be

provided with a package of agricultural inputs (see Annex 3 for content of Agricultural Family and Community Kit) and the rapid

production of food will be carried out in areas identified as safe, close to the hamlets where they are living. In both cases,

community plots for the learning and rapid production of food will be established, which will facilitate capacity-building and will be

consolidated as food pantries for the community. Bearing in mind the serious nutritional gaps in the population, the Nutrition-

Sensitive Agriculture approach will be applied, which seeks to ensure the production of a variety of nutritious, affordable, safe and

culturally appropriate foods, in adequate quantities and quality, to meet the dietary requirements of a population, and in a

sustainable manner.

https://cerf.un.org/sites/default/files/resources/FINAL_Life-Saving_Criteria_26_Jan_2010__E_0.pdf




At the same time as the rapid and diversified food production is restored, practical sessions will be held to prepare and transform

food, whose main objective is to achieve an effective dietary diversity, through food and nutritional education to participants. This

has proven to be one of the most successful strategies to make dietary diversity better in vulnerable communities and in an

emergency context in Colombia. This activity meets the criteria of saving lives, since it impacts on the adequate consumption of

food produced by families, particularly the most vulnerable populations (children under 5, pregnant and lactating women, the

elderly, and persons with disabilities), within the framework of the project, helping to reduce the morbidity and mortality risks

associated with the nutritional gaps exposed in the previous paragraphs in the short term. These practical sessions will be carried

out with the 27 communities from the third month of execution until the end of the project. There will be at least 5 session days per

community, for a total of 135 days, in which 1,100 beneficiary families are expected to participate. All household members will be

called upon, seeking the participation of men, women, the elderly and youths.

Section 3. Implementation arrangements

Human Resources

Briefly describe how personnel will be mobilized for the project.

In the Pacific region of the country, FAO has two territorial offices with field technical teams in the departments of Chocó and

Nariño, formed by professionals of vast experience who have participated in the implementation of projects of rapid recovery of

agriculture and food security in recent years, financed with the support of the European Union ECHO humanitarian aid funds, the

Swedish Embassy, CERF funds and the national institutional support. In the Department of Nariño, rapid recovery projects have

been developed in municipalities such as Tumaco on the Pacific Coast of Nariño; Leiva, Policarpa, Cumbitara, Taminango,

Samaniego and Andes Sotomayor, in the mountainous area. In the Department of Chocó, two DIPECHO interventions have been

implemented, with the support of the Office of the European Commission for Humanitarian Affairs – ECHO, in the rural area of

Quibdó and the municipality of Alto Baudó. Rapid response actions have taken place in the municipalities of Litoral del San Juan,

financed with CERF funds, and Alto Baudó and Medio Baudó with the support of ECHO and the Swedish Embassy, where

emergency preparedness and response capacities were strengthened, and agricultural production and food security of

communities in the rural areas were recovered, while improving local institutional capacity to deal with these situations.

For the Underfunded CERF project, FAO will have technical teams for the departments of Nariño and Chocó, composed of a

territorial coordinator, an administrative professional, a local technical supervisor, a kitchen technician and professionals from the

agricultural sector (veterinarians, agronomists, agricultural technologists), and a driver for each of the zones. The project will also

have the support of the FAO Colombia program team based in Bogotá and the Risk Management and Livelihoods Recovery Area,

made up of professionals specialized in agricultural emergency responses, who will be responsible for supporting the project’s

entire operation. A senior specialist in the area, a project coordinator, an administrative professional from the national level, a

professional agricultural support technician and a monitoring and follow-up professional. From the FAO regional office in Chile, the

project will have the technical support of the Disaster Risk Management Officer, who backs the initiative from the formulation phase

and will make technical support visits to the intervention area.

The following staff will be supported with CERF funds (some partially):

- 1 Emergency Unit Coordinator (national consultant) for 9 months

- 1 Emergency Unit Coordination Team (partial costs – 1 logistics, 1 administrative and 1 program assistant) for 9 months

- 2 Local Administrative and Logistics Assistant (National Consultants) – one for each zone (Chocó and Nariño) for 9

months.

- 2 Chief Department Agronomists - one for each zone for 7 months.

- 5 Field Agronomists Engineers: 2 in Chocó and 3 in Nariño, respectively, for 7 months.

- 2 Technical Cooks – one for each zone for 7 months.

- 2 Veterinary Professionals - one for each zone for 7 months.




- 1 Driver in Chocó for 9 months.

Operational Presence and Access

Briefly describe your agencies operational presence in and/or ability to access project locations.

FAO has fully equipped offices (territorial offices including geolocation and advance communication equipment and vehicles) in the

departments of Nariño and Chocó since 2007. The Chocó office also has outboard motors or agreements to mobilize the technical

teams where the beneficiaries of the project are located, given the fluvial context of this department.

FAO and the two implementing partners (the Caminar and the Alianza por la Solidaridad foundations) have operational capacity in

all targeted implementation areas. The two implementing partners have maintained a permanent presence during the last five

years in the area of intervention and keeping the humanitarian space open, enjoying credibility and trust at the local level.

Procurement and Contractual Services

Describe the procurement, transport and delivery arrangements in place to ensure provision of assistance within the CERF’s

implementation period. Also provide information on the timeline for contractual services for activities such as cash transfer

programming, training, etc.

The largest volume of purchasers corresponds to agricultural inputs (materials, tools, plastics, fertilizers, breeding stock and

veterinary inputs), with which families will be provided for the rapid restoration of their essential livelihoods. For this, two

mechanisms will be used:

- Direct purchases from the territories, for those initial provisions that will permit to start the establishment of Community

Training and Production Demonstration Centers (CDC), which will obtain the first food crops for community distribution.

- Purchases from the FAO procurement area, which will include family allowances and which (Annex 3 – Family Kits), due to

their value, require compliance with the organizational procedures established for this purpose.

In this manner, there is a strategy for the purchase of goods, according the needs of the project, especially during the time of the

intervention, and which complies with the internal rules and procedures of FAO. It is worth highlighting that FAO has a group of

suppliers with experience in the access, distribution and transportation of provisions in the project's intervention areas. These

purchases will comply with a technical construction and community agreement process, which will allow for the certainty of the

participation and acceptance of the defined input kits by families, as well as the relevance of the elements that make them up. To

avoid the disadvantages that may arise from the exclusion of families under the premise of limited resources for family supplies,

FAO links families that willingly wish to participate in each community. If the number of projected families is exceeded, counterpart

resources will be allocated to purchase the necessary additional provisions.

The procurement process of agricultural inputs will be carried out during the first two months of project execution and

deliveries will start from month three. In the case of materials and supplies for the training days, such as stationery and

ingredients for community pots, FAO has current commercial agreements with local suppliers, which will be activated at the

required time.

Implementing Partners

Who are the implementing partners and what are their responsibilities?

State whether MOUs are in place with proposed implementing partners. If no, please outline timeline for signing agreements and

transferring funds and/or supplies to partners.

The Project will be implemented through a mixed strategy, with some communities to be supported directly by the

technical team of FAO. Others will be served by the implementing partners with the permanent accompaniment and

technical guidance of FAO.

The two implementing partners are the Alianza por la Solidaridad Foundation and the Caminar Foundation , with whom

FAO currently has "Letters of Agreement" in force, to which the responsibilities and resources to support the CERF UFE project




operation will be added. Although there are agreements in place, it will be necessary to carry out the required contractual

modifications and arrangements for the transfer of funds, for which a maximum time of two months is projected.

1. The Caminar Foundation is a non-profit organization, created to promote peace and community development, through the

encouragement of political and social actions that contribute to face the main challenges of society. Its work focuses on

communities, families and the entire vulnerable population (children, women, men, elderly, LGTBI population), who have been

affected by the armed conflict and extreme climate events, among others. It works and cares for children, adolescents, female

household heads and communities at different levels of vulnerability, starting not from their shortcomings, but from their abilities

and potential to generate alternatives for personal and social development. This organization was established in the city of Quibdó

in 2006, by a group of professionals from the social and health areas, concerned about the levels of involvement of the population

of the Department of Chocó, with special emphasis on children, youth, pregnant mothers, infants and the elderly, with high

vulnerability indexes to social and natural events, and neglect by the Colombian State. Since then, it has managed and

implemented different projects financed with resources of local, departmental and international cooperation, which has allowed the

Foundation to develop its social purpose, and contribute to the mitigation of negative effects and impacts caused by armed

violence and natural disastersin the Department of Chocó.

2. The Alianza por la Solidaridad Foundation has had permanent presence in Colombia since 1998, carrying out and supporting

multiple actions within the framework of its humanitarian action strategy that began in 1999. As from 2000, actions have been

focused on supporting the population affected by the armed conflict in the most vulnerable areas of the Colombian Southwest

(Departments of Valle del Cauca, Cauca and Nariño). Alianza has a permanent office in the municipalities of Tumaco (Nariño),

Buenaventura (Valle del Cauca), Popayán (Cauca) and Bogotá. The Foundation began operations in the Department of Nariño in

2005, and since 2007 in the municipality of Tumaco, opening humanitarian spaces, gaining the trust and credibility of communities

belonging to the Alto Mira y Frontera Community Council, the population group object of the project, whose regular channels of

entry into the territory for a new organization imply carrying out a process of prior consultation that respects the decision-making

times of the communities, making the feasibility and execution time of the intervention uncertain.

Additionally, Alianza por la Solidaridad directly executes actions and focuses its efforts on a comprehensive intervention that

covers not only the basic and material needs, but also the development of a framework for the protection of persons and / or

communities that benefit from the intervention. Within its work strategy it seeks to involve the greatest number of actors,

participates in institutional coordination spaces and in humanitarian needs assessment missions. The work during these years

allows the Foundation to be a benchmark organization, which has the support and recognition of institutions and communities.

In view of their technical and operational abilities, the Caminar Foundation will support the implementation of the project in the

Department of Chocó, and the Alianza por la Solidaridad Foundation in the Department of Nariño. The implementing partners will

contribute with their technical, operational and logistical suitability for the strengthening of family and community technical

capacities, the rehabilitation of agri-food livelihoods and the recovery of agricultural production of communities affected or

vulnerable to the effects of the armed conflict, many of them in a double condition, due to the occurrence of climatic and

hydrological events of a natural or anthropogenic origin. Implementing partners should make progress at least in the following

activities:

Establishment of food production units at the community level in Community Production and Training Demonstration Centers

(CDC) and in family plots, in the assigned communities.

Permanent technical assistance.

Implementation of the capacity-building plan agreed with communities for the rapid, safe and resilient production of food for

self-consumption, in an emergency context.

Application of methodologies that improve the diet with nutrition objectives.

FAO will be responsible for purchasing 100% of the agricultural inputs and delivering them to the participating families in

a collaborative manner with the implementing partners, as of month three of project implementation.




Synergies and Complementarity

Please describe how the project will complement other projects funded by CERF through this allocation. What are the synergies

with other initiatives funded by CERF and/or other donors?

FAO has articulated its actions to the chapter of the Food and Nutritional Security (FNS) cluster of the Humanitarian Response

Plan (HRP) 2019, and through the FNS cluster, it has been possible to carry out a joint planning within the framework of the

formulation of this Underfunded CERF allocation, establishing a geographical and population prioritization with the WASH

cluster, Education in Emergencies and Health for the development of multisectoral and comprehensive actions.

In this manner, actions in the municipalities of Tumaco in the Department of Nariño, and Alto Baudó in the Department of Chocó

will be complemented by UNICEF, within the framework of the WASH and Education in Emergencies clusters and in Barbacoas

(nariño) with the Wash cluster activities. Likewise, synergies will be created in the three municipalities to carry out session days of

nutritional health to care for pregnant women, boys and girls also with UNICEF. Similarly, the project will pursue the generation of

alliances with WFP initiatives that are already underway, in the selected municipalities of the departments of Chocó and Nariño, in

order to support food aid to families, while food production occurs in an autonomous manner.

The project seeks to generate synergies and complementarity with the actions implemented by the national and international NGOs

and civil society organizations. coordination with local humanitarian actors with technical and operational capacities in prioritized

areas will be essential for a rapid response to emergencies in the FNS. In the same manner, organizations with experience in

protection will be involved. Additionally, the project will expand the coverage of emergency agriculture initiatives undertaken in the

departments of Chocó and Nariño, with resources from ECHO and Sweden.

Coordination

Describe how the agency will coordinate activities with others at both the sector/cluster and inter-sector/cluster levels.

The project will be effectively coordinated within the Food and Nutrition Security Cluster, that FAO is co-leading together with WFP

and UNICEF. The cluster generates spaces for sectoral coordination, supporting its partners in the implementation of its projects,

the identification of sectoral needs and service gaps, the coordination of actions among partners, and the minimum technical

quality that each intervention in the FNS sector should have.

Likewise, the project will seek to generate strategic alliances to provide comprehensive attention to the population. In the first

instance, FAO is a member of the HCT and the Local Coordination Teams (LCT) of the departments of Nariño and Chocó. There

will be participation in other coordination spaces implemented by the Government, in order to articulate actions to the efforts made

by the State and national entities in care of the population that is victim of the conflict. Taking into account the needs identified in

the target population, complementary and coordinated work agreements have been made with the WASH and the Health and

Education in Emergencies clusters. It is expected that 70% of participating families participate in comprehensive actions

implemented by the mentioned sectors led by PAHO and UNICEF. Actions described in the project are aligned with the

Humanitarian Response Plan of the Food Security and Nutrition Cluster, particularly to reach the target population proposed in the

prioritized regions, for the following objectives: 1 Increase the timely, permanent and diverse access to varied baskets of food for

the victims of violence; persons in the process of returning or confinement, or affected by natural disasters, 3: Rehabilitate,

maintain and / or protect agricultural livelihoods of prioritized communities, with resilience approaches, ethnic and gender; and 4:

Ensure joint actions with a comprehensive approach, which contribute to reduce the determinant risks in food security and nutrition

of the most vulnerable populations in the context of violence, conflict and natural disasters, using a protection approach.

Furthermore, the proposed intervention is also aligned with the strategic objectives of the entire HRP 1 plan: Save and protect

lives; and 2: Prevent and mitigate protection risks.

Monitoring

How will implementation be monitored?

Project monitoring will be carried out using the tools included in the Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation System of the FAO

Representation in Colombia, adjusted according to the Logical Framework Matrix and the Operational Plan, which are

complemented based on follow-up visits in the action areas. In the same manner, budget execution is verified, which is expected to




be in accordance with the project’s life cycle. All of the above will be documented through monitoring reports, reporting progress

against indicators and alerts created on the implementation of the operational plan in an executive report (Dashboard). The reports

will concisely assess the extent to which the programmed activities have been performed, their results have been produced and

progress has been made towards the achievement of the immediate objectives and the related development objective with respect

to execution times.

Follow-up of the letters of agreement will be carried out through frequent feedback meetings with implementing partners; the

permanent accompaniment of the local technical team; and monitoring visits of the national technical team. The implementing

partners will submit reports on the execution of activities, in accordance with the information management processes and the report

proformas established by FAO.

Section 4. Cross-cutting

Accountability to Affected People

Please describe how accountability to affected populations (AAP) has been/will be ensured during the different phases of the project:

1. design and planning, 2. implementation 3. monitoring and evaluation.

How will people targeted by the project be informed of the response and/or services available to them? How will target communities be consulted throughout the implementation and how will feedback be acted upon? Please provide relevant AAP project specific information according to project phases.

Please include only relevant project specific information for the CERF funded project, do not enter generic policy or guidance language. Please refer to the IASC AAP commitments at https://interagencystandingcommittee.org/accountability-affected-populations-including-protection-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse/documents-61

For FAO, communities are key actors in all phases of the project, from its formulation, through implementation, follow-up and

monitoring, until its closure. In this manner, FAO has already included the beneficiary population in the planning and formulation

of this project, recognizing that the community's territorial knowledge, its ancestral practices and its strategies for survival and

overcoming crises should be taken into account as the pillars of project planning. FAO investigated these aspects in the targeted

communities and has used them as a key input for this proposal.

Once the project actions are initiated in the territory, the FAO technical team agrees on the technical models for food production

with the families; which traditional and cultural species are important to establish and also, which species with high nutritional

value are to be introduced to improve the food and nutrition of the benefited persons. Likewise, work schedules are agreed upon,

particularly with women, in order to guarantee their participation in the work and training sessions and to look for strategies to

ease the household burden, such as the establishment of safe areas for women and children within production spaces, where

women can participate in the workshops while taking care of their offspring. The delivery of tools and agricultural inputs is also

agreed upon with the community, with a gender and ethnicity-based focus, taking into account which tools are better suited for the

female anatomy, as well as which inputs will be better received by communities, according to their cultural preferences.

Permanent technical assistance will be provided to accompany and supervise the fast food production process strengthening the

communities’ capacities through the implementation of the training plan, where the subject matters are also agreed upon with

project participants, as well as other topics that are indispensable, such as agroecology, staggered production, efficient water

management, among others, in order to combine them with ancestral practices and strengthen them.

The project will focus its efforts on achieving a rapid and safe food production, as well as developing practical session days of

food preparation and consumption to improve the nutritional situation. This will be carried out in response to the food and

nutritional gaps of participating families, with emphasis on the most vulnerable groups (children under 5, pregnant and lactating

women, the elderly and persons with disabilities), under safe environments. The educational institutions present in the territories

will be linked to the process to restore livelihoods, ensuring that some of the CDCs are located in the facilities of schools and

colleges. In order to ensure the inclusion of high nutritional value foods in families, which often may be unknown to these

https://interagencystandingcommittee.org/accountability-affected-populations-including-protection-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse/documents-61

https://interagencystandingcommittee.org/accountability-affected-populations-including-protection-sexual-exploitation-and-abuse/documents-61




persons, FAO has kitchen technicians from the coordination of the technical and pedagogical models of the project to include

elements of planting of crops with nutritional and alimentary sense. The male / female kitchen technician in turn plans and

implements training sessions with families, where the participation of both men and women alike is promoted; where food is

prepared; ancestral and traditional recipes are rescued; and new recipes containing highly nutritional products are taught;

indicating their health benefits, in addition to their easy replicability.

Each technical and pedagogical session day has an assessment tool in which communities evaluate the pertinence of the subject

taught, the quality of the information and assistance, the treatment received by the FAO team, among others. These

assessments will be carried out by focal groups, where the opinions of men, women, seniors and young people will be identified.

These data are taken into account by the FAO team in the planning of the following work days, identifying opportunities for

improvement and good practices for their repetition.

Follow-up and monitoring of the project are carried out on a monthly basis under an Operational Plan that describes each of the

proposed activities within the project, its completion date and important considerations to be taken into account. The monitoring

takes the assessments carried out by participants at each of the technical assistance and training days as key input, in order to

make adjustments to the operational plan activities and create alerts for correction or improvement of a particular activity.

Gender considerations and persons with specific needs

Gender with Age Marker Code 2

Does this project consider

protection from gender-based

violence (GBV) in its design?

No

Although a specific gender-based violence component (GBV) is not included due to the

nature of the project, this initiative guarantees the participation of all family members,

including women, young people and older adults. In the same manner, the specific needs

and strengths of each population group will be considered in the definition of the

characteristics of agricultural inputs (for example, tools with the appropriate weight

for the work carried out by women) and the importance of knowledge of the older adults

for the identification of the species with the best behavior under the area’s climatic

conditions, and that enable production in a very short period of time.

In addition, the project considers the IASC gender and age guidelines, applying the following

practical strategies:

Baseline with a focus on livelihoods and protection, at the household level and in focus

groups, to identify the needs, capacities, roles, abilities, interests and risks specific to

men, women, children and the elderly. This diagnosis will identify the differential needs

of the displaced and confined population.

The population under five years of age and pregnant and lactating women will be a

priority in defining the technical aspects of the intervention; for example, in the species

to be cultivated priority will be given to those that provide the nutrients required by this

population group (Vitamin A, Zinc, Iron).

The decision-making spaces will be nurtured by the participation of the community’s

different age groups, as well as men and women, since in addition to contributing to a

technical strengthening, the foundations of the community organization are

strengthened.

Special importance will be given to the role of the elderly in the conservation and

transfer of traditional knowledge.

Permanent promotion of women's leadership in organizing the work in the CDC.

Promotion of women’s participation through the creation of pedagogical spaces for

children in the CDC.

All trainings will be attended by men and women, including those related to the

Cash Transfer Programming (CTP)

Does this project include CTP? No

In the areas of Project implementation (pretargeted communities) families do not have access to local markets that offer the necessary inputs for the establishment of food production. Likewise, families are living in cramped conditions without the possibility of freedom of movement to access markets located several kilometers away from the communities; and which imply that they have to use means of transportation such as boats or ride on animals during several hours, putting their lives at risk.

Please specify below the parameters of the CTP modality/ies used. If more than one modality is used in the project, please complete separate rows for each modality. Please indicate the estimated value of cash that will be transferred to people assisted through each modality (best estimate of the value of cash and/or vouchers, not including associated delivery costs)
