Angola - ACT: 18-Dec-01

Action by Churches Together (ACT) Appeal - Angola Relief for Internally Displaced AFAO-11 (Revision 2) Appeal Target: US$ 2,125,288 Balance Requested from ACT Network: US$ 806,014 Geneva, 18 December 2001

The Lutheran World Federation / Department of World Service (LWF/WS) has revised their programme in the appeal to cater for the increased number of displaced people in their areas of operation. It is estimated that the number of IDPs has gone up fourfold to the planned figure and by the end of November 2001 there were 80,000 people under the care of the LWF. This increased number calls for more basic relief items to be procured for distribution to the new IDPs. As the settlements have increased in number from 2 at the beginning of the year 2000 to the current 14, distribution of relief goods have also become a challenge as the operational areas, especially in Luena, have become wider and more spaced out. The current transport facilities available have become insufficient and in this revision, LWF proposes to procure an additional truck using funds saved from the air transport budget line as WFP has taken care of most of the air transport costs. The changes in the budget also constitute an increase in the relief items budget line with funds coming from the agricultural packs and medical kits budget lines. The agricultural packs have been provided by EURONAID while the medical needs have mainly been taken care of by the International NGOs providing curative health in the LWF operational areas. Hence it has been possible to shift funds from these budget lines for relief items. Apart from these changes that appear in the new budget provided, the rest of the appeal remains unchanged. It should be mentioned also that DanChurchAid who provided the funds in question have authorised the shifting of the stated amounts of money to the suggested activities. The revision serves to inform the alliance therefore, of these changes in the appeal. The completion date of the appeal remains 28 February 2002. Please note that for the sake of brevity the proposal for the Evangelical Reformed Church of Angola (IERA) has not been repeated here as it is not affected by these changes. Project Completion Date: 1 March 2001 - 28 February 2002.

It has focused its program on providing relief assistance to destitute populations in displacement , returning refugees and the vulnerable population inside and around the city of Luena. This assistance was primarily given to stabilize the situation of the displaced and to facilitate their integration into the community. Over the past years, LWF has carried the main burden of assisting the people of the "forgotten" Eastern Region of Angola, which comprises Moxico, Lunda Sul, and Lunda Norte provinces and has developed good working relations and credibility with the Provincial Governments, international agencies, NGOs and local churches operating in the region. It has also established good relations with various communities it has been working with in the past, as well as in its current operational areas. It has professional staff to implement its programs. LWF has collaborated with donor agencies represented locally in Angola and has succeeded in getting support for its various projects. During the last two years, LWF has received support from the ACT network for the assistance to the displaced population ; from CIDA/CLWR for an emergency water and sanitation project ; from OCHA for establishing camps for the displaced; from ECHO for procurement and air transport of relief items as well as for the care and maintenance of Internally Displaced People (IDP) camps ; the EU through NESA and EURONAID has also given support in seeds and tools and food-for-work projects . LWF also implemented a Pilot Project on Post Conflict Social Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project, with funding from World Bank which was, however, interrupted by the resurgence of civil war in 1998. All of LWF activities involve the collaboration of local churches in various areas : preventive health , including HIV/AIDS, human rights promotion and peace building as well as in children projects. DESCRIPTION OF THE EMERGENCY SITUATION After the Government offensive in late 1999, the rebel forces were considerably weakened. The war changed from a high-tech conventional war to a guerilla war. The daily pounding by rebel artillery of some of the major cities ceased and instead insecurity increased in the countryside, due to ambushes and land mines. The Government forces continued to carry out major offensives, particularly along the borders, to stop provision of arms to the rebels from abroad and to extend the Government control over the territory. Increased rebel activity has, however, been reported by the end of the 2000 in many parts of the country, causing new waves of displaced populations. Again thousands have sought refuge in neighboring Zambia. The influx of IDPs since the outbreak of war in 1998 has overcrowded and further increased the deterioration of the environment of the provincial capitals. It was hoped that the current military offensive would enable the return of IDPs to their home areas and an improvement of the situation in the cities. Unfortunately, return to the home areas still does not seem to be feasible. Instead, resettlement of 190,000 IDPs has taken place on arable land outside the cities. This has enabled them to produce their own food, thus reducing their dependency on food handouts ( although an estimated 60% of the displaced population is malnourished). The key strategy for resettlement was to avert hunger. The resettlement strategy was backed up by a major operation to provide the displaced population with seeds and tools. The movement for building peace is gaining momentum, not the least through the formation of the interchurch Commission for Peace (COIEPA), joining the Protestant and Catholic churches, seeking ways to end the civil war that has plagued the country for 25 years. In spite of these efforts, the most likely scenario for 2001 is a continued displacement of the civil population due to guerilla warfare. During the year, LWF/ACT had to meet the needs of a new wave of displaced populations in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces and had to open a number of new camps. The new camps have brought the total number of camps to 14 run by LWF with a population of 80,000 people. The Government policy is to settle new arrivals a soon as possible at sites which offer basic conditions. According to new legislation, based on UN guidelines for the treatment of IDPs, this inter alia requires basic health and educational services, including a community child program, as well as access to safe water and sanitation, apart from seeds and tools and other instruments to foster agricultural production and to start a recovery process. In spite of the Government's efforts to extend the control of the territory, a large part of the displaced population is still inaccessible for assistance. 60% of the areas hosting displaced populations are still without humanitarian presence. The displaced population in Angola amounts to 3,8 million. LWF is the main humanitarian NGO in two provinces with reportedly 231,000 IDPs of which 164,000 are registered with the UN. LWF has assisted 80,000 with emergency relief items (blankets, kitchen kits, plastic sheeting) in the two provinces . This means that 84,000 of the 164,000 UN registered displaced are still unattended, as well as those who are reported but still inaccessible for any assistance, or live scattered among the resident population. In spite of the government successes in flushing out and weakening the military capacity of the rebels, the influx of the displaced has not stopped, instead it triggered a new exodus of people due to fear of more fighting. New arrivals have been registered at IDP sites in Moxico, at a monthly rate of 1,500-2,000 persons and 400-500 in Lunda Sul . Due to the current situation, the government has again taken a more aggressive stand with regard to resettling the population in alternative areas around the cities, as return to their home areas is not yet possible. This initiative is being supported by the UN and NGOs, provided that the guidelines on minimum standards are adhered to in moving the population. The settlement of IDPs to safe areas is intended to free the cities and to stimulate agricultural production so that the population will be less dependent on food aid. However, funding to support this initiative is not forthcoming, as donors ceased to support the eastern provinces and shifted their attention to provinces along the coast and in the highland. More than half a million are displaced in areas inaccessible to international agencies. The continued Government offensive will open up access to more needy populations and new needs will follow new displacement caused by the continuing war. Location of the emergency There are six provinces with the highest level of displacement during the last two years, LWF's operation will continue in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces. Impact on Human Lives The displacement of millions of people due to the civil war in Angola has created a negative social spiral leading to destitution, increase in family and communal violence and a negative impact on development. The population seeks safe haven in provincial capitals, where basic infrastructures are already weak or non-existent. War-affected and displaced people compete for dwindling resources and limited opportunities to pursue production and employment. Most people live in precarious conditions, often without access to potable water, basic sanitation, and health services. High- level inflation erodes over-stretched coping mechanisms, creating further hardship and destitution, especially among women and children. The result of this spiral is a latent emergency situation affecting the whole country. Around 78 percent of the rural population is living below the poverty line and 60 percent of the displaced population is malnourished. In the index for human development Angola is at the level of Haiti and Sudan. (UNDP Report 1999 on Human Development in Angola and 2001 UN Consolidated Inter-Agency Appeal for Angola). According to UNICEF's Progress of Nations Report Angola, together with Sierra Leone it is the worst country in the world for a child to grow up. One out of every three children die before the age of five, 53% of children have stunted growth and less than fifty percent attend school. In addition the maternal mortality is one of the highest in the world. Furthermore, the average schooling among rural women is less than one year. Location of Proposed Emergency Response LWF/ACT will continue to meet the needs of the displaced people in the Moxico and Lunda Sul provinces . The need has increased due to recent new arrivals and since major donors, that have supported humanitarian action in those provinces in the past, have ceased their support . Furthermore, no other NGO except LWF is working in camp management, providing the basic services in water, sanitation, emergency non-food items and preventive health. Most of the NGOs in Luena and in Saurimo are involved in curative health, demining and agriculture . Statistics and Figures on the Emergency During the last two decades more than 25 percent of the Angolan population has been displaced. Since January 2000, 350'000 people have been up-rooted due to continued military operations. Of those who have fled in recent months a relatively large number have not yet been registered and are therefore not receiving humanitarian assistance. In Moxico and Lunda Sul, 164,000 IDPs or 32,920 families are accessible and registered by the UN. Out of this figure LWF has assisted 16,803 families ( 51.04 % ) during the period 1999-2000, both with funds from ACT and ECHO. 16,117 families remain un-assisted, of which 7,000 families are targeted in this appeal. This population belongs to three major ethnic groups : Chokwe, Lundas, and Luvale. They have similar traditions, beliefs, culture, family attachment and farming practices . They have a rural background where farming is the major economic activity and source of livelihood. In terms of gender and age the caseload is distributed as follows: 16 % adult men, 19 % adult women , 30 % male children and 35 % female children. Description of Current Security Situation The security has improved in the provincial capitals , Luena and Saurimo and their immediate surroundings. A gradual de-mining operation, is carried out by the Norwegian People's AID (NPA) and the Mines Advisory Group (MAG), in Luena which has improved the security greatly. Efforts to resettle displaced and find secure land for food production depend on continued de-mining. Saurimo has a security perimeter of 50 km in which settlement is safe. On the other hand the security has worsened in rural areas due to ambushes and new mines being laid. All cargo and passenger transport to Luena and Saurimo have to be made by air. GOAL & OBJECTIVES The goal is to provide immediate support for displaced families to survive, and to provide them with orientation and resources in case they can return to their places of origin and resume a normal live. Objectives to stabilize displaced populations in acute need of survival assistance to care for displaced people in camps through provision of clean water, sanitation and preventive health care. to lower morbidity and mortality among mothers and children to assist displaced populations to resettle in the new areas by rehabilitation of basic infrastructures - water provision, sanitation, schools and health posts. to prepare the displaced for their eventual return to their home villages through training activities to build the capacity of local church and other partners to take over the responsibility for IDP camps through hands-on training BENEFICIARY INFORMATION AND TARGETED AREAS Number and Type of Beneficiaries Targeted There are six provinces with the highest number of displaced population in the last two years. LWF is the main humanitarian NGO in one of these , Moxico , with reportedly 164,602 IDPs (OCHA November 2000), of which 45,000 are settled in LWF run sites. Together with WFP, LWF is nearly alone in providing assistance to 72,111 IDPs (OCHA, November 2000) in the Lunda Sul province. 7,000 displaced families, of which 5,000 newly displaced and 2,000 in new accessible areas will be assisted in non- food emergency relief items. 7,000 families, new arrivals and those resettled in new areas will receive other assistance in water, sanitation and other basic services at LWF sites. Criteria for selecting beneficiaries Health measures will be directed to children and women, who are the most vulnerable. Non-food relief items will be distributed to newly displaced and to needy populations in areas which have previously been inaccessible to humanitarian aid. Other assistance, including preparation for return , will be given to those settled at LWF sites. Within the framework of the resettlement program rehabilitation of water provision, sanitation, schools and health posts will be carried out in five settlement sites. This program will be complemented by the provision of seeds ,tools and other agricultural implements through Euronaid. Capacity building will be aimed at a few churches and NGOs that are willing and able to take over responsibility for IDP camps. DESCRIPTION OF PROPOSED ASSISTANCE & IMPLEMENTATION Distribution of essential Non Food Items Kitchen sets, blankets, buckets, soap and salt will be needed by more than 7000 beneficiary families. Plastic sheeting is a vital to provide temporary shelter. Some structures can be established with grass, mud or bricks but roofing material is only available at the beginning of the dry season. To provide protection the huts have to be covered with plastic sheeting. During the rainy season the plastic sheeting is also used to cover the ground in order to protect blankets and other material on which to sleep. An average family (5 persons) will receive: 3 blankets, 1 kitchen set , 2 buckets , 20 m2 plastic sheeting , 1 kg soap, 300 g salt. But in the actual distribution the number of items per family will depend on the size of the family. Transportation It is expected that WFP's free cargo flights will continue to be available. LWF will be responsible for port clearing and handling as well as transport to warehouses and airports and supervision of loading and offloading at the airport. LWF will provide labor and transport necessary for offloading at the airport of destination .The budget line for vehicles includes fuel, repair/maintenance and hired vehicles as deemed necessary. However, an emergency budget has still been included in the proposal for the eventuality that WFP cargo flights are not available during a limit period of time. These funds are now proposed to be used to purchase a truck for the local transportation of relief items. Integrated water and sanitation program LWF/ACT will provide shelter, safe water and sanitation to five new sites for displaced populations, three in Luena and two in Saurimo. Some 10 water points with hand pumps will be required along with cement to fabricate concrete rings as well as liners. Spare parts will be needed for these pumps and the 20 already existing . Some 250 latrine dome slabs for latrines will be produced and established in every strategic area in camps and settlement areas so as to promote hygiene and sanitation. Alternatively when the manually operated drilling rig cannot be used , shallow wells are used with concrete rings, produced locally by using fabricated molders. Two hydraulic pumps, which do not use any external source of energy, will be installed to provide water for two settlements of 3,000 families, situated at a level of 30 meters above the natural spring water sources. In addition to the pumps, concrete water reservoirs leading to the pump will be built and a recipient at the other end where the population can fetch the water. This assistance will be given in the framework of an integrated preventive health care program which also includes training of committees for the management of water points, repair/maintenance of hand pumps, latrines and rubbish pits . The population will be mobilized to dig wells, rubbish pits and latrines as part of the participatory approach in water, hygiene and sanitation. Program for women and children Since diarrhea is a major cause of child morbidity matters of hygiene, particularly in relation to the treatment of water is a vital element in the preventive health program . A LWF community health co-ordinator together with two local health workers will train the water and sanitation committees of the settlements as well as health promoters. She is also responsible for providing training to traditional birth attendants in order to reduce the high mortality rate in connection with child birth. At the sites five health posts and five care centers for children (PIC PECs) with adjoining 25 latrines will be erected . The care centers (PIC PECS) wil1 house the community child program which contains both a feeding center and a pedagogic element. In Luena and Saurimo a program for treating trauma affected children will also be introduced in collaboration with the organization International Child Development Program (ICDP) which has developed its activities on an initiative from Norway. The above mentioned preventive health program will also include HIV/AIDS information , counseling and training of 100 traditional birth attendants. TBA kits will be provided to the trained midwives so that they can deliver quality maternity services. Curative health is provided by IMC and MSF-Belgium in Luena, and by Caritas in Saurimo in collaboration with the local health authorities. Capacity building The LWF/ACT project will contain training in camp leadership and management for local church and NGO partners that can take over some responsibility for camps and settlements as well as for the camp populations in management of water and sanitation, preventive health and training of traditional birth attendants. Other community work projects outside this appeal will offer human rights promotion , environmental and mine awareness , alphabetization and professional skills training , including in agricultural techniques . Resettlement program Preliminarily five areas have been selected for the LWF resettlement program, three in the Luena area and two outside Saurimo. The definite selection of areas outside Luena is related to the progress of the demining operations. LWF is involved in an ongoing planning exercise with the Provincial Government, the UN and other NGOs. This planning is based on discussions between Government, UN and the NGOs which led to decreed minimum standards to be followed by continued consultations on the implementation. These standards require inter alia the establishment of basic services in water, sanitation, health and education apart from the obvious requirement of security. Some 10 water points and 250 latrines are needed for the LWF/ACT program. In addition are foreseen five health post, five schools and five child care centers, to be rehabilitated. In the case of the child care centers they are simple constructions in locally available material. The same applies to the schools. Implementation: Personnel The LWF/DWS/ACT-Angola, has a pool of experienced staff in the project sites, which have been working with the organization for over five years both in emergency and rehabilitation programs. For this project, the Regional Project Co-ordinator will be responsible for the overall management, implementation and reporting . In each project area the work is directed by the project co-ordinators and assistant co-ordinators. In order to maintain communications and overall co-ordination one radio operator at each field office and one in Luanda are required. Transportation and distribution in the field of emergency items and other inputs for the project is done by two logistics officers and a logistics assistant together with eight drivers two storekeepers , six guards and 10 laborers. The procurement and clearing is done by the Luanda logistics co-ordinator assisted by a logistics officer. The establishment of water points will be done by two locally trained water technicians. They also train the camp committees in management of pumps and water systems. The work for establishing water points, digging latrines and rubbish pits is done by the camp population on the basis of a food for work scheme. The LWF health co-ordinator in collaboration with local community health workers will train the population in hygiene and preventive health and also train the traditional birth attendants. The work for the displaced population is designed on a community based approach, securing as much as possible the active participation of the community. Most of the rehabilitation of health posts and schools is done on the basis of food for work. Project Support The field offices in Saurimo and Luena have offices, warehouses, staff residences and garage space available. The offices are equipped with light vehicles, trucks, HF radios, computers and other essential equipment. Transportation Requirements LWF/ACT-Angola has its own trucks and light duty vehicles for implementation and monitoring purposes. However, there is still a need to hire additional trucks during the peak of the project implementation. Cargo flights for the NFI's and other essential emergency items will be provided free of charge by WFP which also provides for free passenger transport from Luanda to the project areas. However, an emergency buffer for airlifts has been included in the budget in case WFP is unable to provide free cargo flights for some time. Procurement Most material will have to be purchased through international procurement, since it is not available in Angola at acceptable prices. The ACT procurement guidelines will be followed. Provision and Implementation of Assistance The assistance will be provided at IDP camps and in settlement areas complying with the minimum standards, decreed by the Government . The LWF/ACT project activities will be carried-out by the local staff who live in the area and have a thorough knowledge of the situation and know the people in terms of culture, tradition and other norms. They will use a community based approach and the IDPs themselves are considered partners in the projects. Other projects The resettlement program will be supported by the provision of seeds, tools and other agricultural implements through Euronaid. The emergency assistance will be complemented by a program for peace building, building of civil society and promotion of human rights as well as a recovery program. This includes agricultural projects for improving seeds, multiplication of rapid growth cassava, training in improved farming techniques, reforestation and other environmental projects as well as training in carpentry, brick-laying, sowing and other skills and micro-credit schemes for income generation . These activities will also strengthen the ability to cope with the own environment upon return to the home villages. ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING Monitoring and Administration The overall responsibility for the project lies with the Country Representative based in Luanda who will regularly visit the project sites. The site co-ordinators are responsible for implementation under the supervision of the Regional Project Co-ordinator. Needs assessment will be carried out by LWF/ACT staff in close contact with the IDP committees and in co-ordination with the provincial Humanitarian Co-ordination Groups, consisting of the provincial authorities, OCHA and other UN agencies, NGO's and Churches . Progress reports are prepared by the co-ordinators in the field. The financial control and reporting is under the responsibility of Regional co-ordinator and the finance Manager based in Luanda. The Logistics Co-ordinator, assisted by a logistic officer and other support staff will take care of the procurement of relief items, clearing, handling, storing and transports to the field. A computerised system is being established for monitoring the flow of goods from the procurement to the final distribution to the beneficiaries. Monitoring The LWF - ACT monitoring guidelines as well as environmental and shelter standards will be used. The field co-ordinators will compile monthly progress reports and financial reports. Consultations take place in weekly humanitarian co-ordination meetings with the Provincial authorities, OCHA, WFP and other NGOs. LWF/ACT also takes part in weekly meetings with OCHA in Luanda for exchange of information, follow up on developments and discussions on new initiatives. The interim report to ACT will be prepared/submitted quarterly. A final report will be submitted at the end of the project Finance Financial data are provided by the field and the reports to the ACT network are established by the Finance department in Luanda. The established LWF financial system will be adhered to. The Luanda finance personnel will make a quarterly visit to field offices to work with staff on financial control, updating, verification of expenditure reports, and train local staff in stock audits and inventory control. IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE The implementation period for this project is one year from 1 March 2001 to 28 February 2002. CO-ORDINATION LWF/ACT-Angola will extend its partnership with local churches in the provinces and will work closely with the community committees at the IDP camps, which serve as focal groups in the implementation of various activities in the camps. Various training and capacity building will be carried out specifically for camp committees, local partners and government staff. LWF/ACT works in close co-ordination with Provincial Government , including the various ministry offices for social affairs , health , agriculture and education in identifying needs and setting of priorities . This co-ordination has the view to ensure that relief assistance is provided where and when it is best needed and to avoid duplication. The co-ordination takes place in the Provincial Humanitarian Co-ordination Group, which is lead by respective Governor or vice Governor . At the Luanda level major NGOs meet with OCHA once a week in order to review the situation, share information/plans of action and discuss new initiatives. LWF/ACT will also continue the collaboration with international and local NGOs that are members of the Provincial Humanitarian Group. LWF particularly co-ordinates and collaborates with IMC, MSF-B, JRS, and Caritas in terms of health intervention ; with SCF-USA and WF in terms of food security and food for work and with the local NGOs AJATERRA, AMMIGA, and LASSP in camp management and IDPs registration. In Saurimo collaboration with the new local NGO, Mother Theresa of Calcutta Foundation for the management of children centres (PIC-PECS) has started and will be strengthened. Of particular importance is the collaboration with the demining agencies Norwegian People's Aid (NPA) and the Mine Advisory Group (MAG) , whose work is a precondition for extending LWS's assistance to areas outside the cities. The demining is closely co-ordinated with LWFs assistance plans. In the UN family OCHA has the humanitarian co-ordinating role and is therefore a very close partner. ECHO has supported LWF work in recent years as well as Euronaid and NESA ( all EU agencies). On WFP's services depend all cargo and passenger transport to the field. WFP has also provided the food for displaced populations and co-operates with Food for Work projects, vital for nutrition and mobilising the displaced in various recovery /rehabilitation works. UNHCR has been an important partner in the past and is presently , together with UN Human Rights Division , OCHA and ICRC a partner in UN-NGO dialogue about protection and promotion of human rights and formation of monitoring and counselling groups in the area of human rights.
