Closing date: 22 Jun 2015
NGO PRESENTATION
Handicap International is an independent and impartial international aid organisation working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. Working alongside persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, our action and testimony are focused on responding to their essential needs, improving their living conditions and promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.
It operates as a federation made up of a network of associations that provide it with human and financial resources, manage its projects and implement its actions and social mission.
Handicap International is divided into 3 operational departments:
-Emergency Response Department
-Mine Action Department
-Development Action Department
The mission will be directly link with the Emergency Response Department. For more information about the department: http://www.handicapinternational.org.uk/what_we_do/emergencies/how_we_work/
MISSION CONTEXT
On April 25th 2015, a 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Nepal with its epicenter located near the city of Gorkha, approximately 140km north-west from Kathmandu. It is estimated that the tremor and the several replicas destroyed 70% the buildings and infrastructures of the country with many villages entirely devastated. Up to this day, the number of casualties reaches 7.276 and 14.362 people have been injured.
Already before the disaster, the poor state of Nepal s health system and the very low rate of health coverage put the population at risk. Nowadays, the situation worsened for the majority of the 1.7 million affected people for they are located in remote areas, extremely difficult for humanitarian organizations to reach. Besides facing difficulties to meet their basic needs such as food, water or shelter, the injured persons are struggling to have access to proper health care. Furthermore, the intensity of the catastrophe hurt the Nepalese population in their minds and the psychological effects are heavy.
For this reason, Handicap International s Emergency Response Division is already on the ground, supporting hospitals in Kathmandu and providing rehabilitation care in rural areas for patients having been through chirurgical operations. Furthermore, evaluations are ongoing to offer a holistic response that would cover both the basic and specific needs of the most affected populations both in Kathmandu and the rural districts that suffered a great loss during the earthquake.
HI STRATEGY IN NEPAL
Since the earthquake, previous HI activities (under the Development Action Division) have been put in stand-by.
The global objective of HI is to contribute to address emergency needs of earthquake affected population, especially injured persons and the most vulnerable and to enhance the humanitarian access and response. Main affected areas are Kathmandu Valley and the districts of Sindulpalchowk, Kavre, Nuwakot, Rasuwa, Dolakha in the central region and Kaski, Gorkha, Lamjung in the northwestern region. Prioritization will be given to these areas according to the needs, humanitarian access and stakeholders presence.
HI global strategy is divided in 4 axes:
Physical rehabilitation and psychosocial support to injured persons.Injured persons urgently need to receive appropriate rehabilitation care in order to avoid the development of critical health complications and/or permanent impairments. The main focus of the intervention will be the management of injured outpatients still in need of follow-up and rehabilitation care. It will be done in support to overwhelmed health facilities which must discharge patients quickly and cannot ensure these care. Outpatients will be followed-up by both fixed point and by mobile teams according to their situation.
HEI and shelter intervention to affected persons including the most vulnerable ones.In rural most affected Districts, according to discussions held with local leaders (HI Field Assessment 06/05/15), the destructions of the houses have been in a very large range and people are sleeping outside or at their relatives places.
Households whose homes have been damaged or destroyed are in need of immediate support to recover and avoid developing negative coping mechanisms.
HI proposes an intervention in two phases:
An immediate response to address emergency needs of affected persons will be organized through distributing of HEI and emergency shelters (tarpaulin and tents) before the starting of the monsoon to 10.000 affected persons. HI will complement the response with psychosocial support and physical rehabilitation activities.In a second step, a cash for shelter intervention will be implemented to support families in the reconstruction (building/repair) of their shelter. This intervention will address the need of 200 households as a shelter pilot project. The reconstructions will be able to start after the monsoon. In the meantime, HI project team will define designs and methodologies and start the community driven approach. The selected beneficiaries will be trained and will get support from HI to build or repair their shelters with constant support and guidance from HI-trained local builders and HI staff.Specific assistance to the most vulnerable earthquake affected persons (protection sector).Through mobile teams, HI will identify most vulnerable affected persons (including person presenting distress signs, persons with functional limitations such as elderly and persons with disabilities ). The identification of the most vulnerable persons will be done according to set criteria defined at the beginning of action. HI will then address their essential needs in terms of complementing emergency distribution of essential items, of PSS activities, physical rehabilitation and orientation to other services.
The inclusion technical unit (ITU) will be implemented in order to ensure the inclusion of persons facing additional barriers into the humanitarian response through advocacy and support to partners.
Logistics support to humanitarian stakeholders to facilitate the response and to enhance access to most affected persons in remote mountainous areas.In collaboration with WFP, HI provide logistics support in terms of inter-agency storage facility in Kathmandu in a first step. In a second step, HI will support humanitarian stakeholder to transport goods from District Hubs to affected beneficiaries.
