Haiti - Humanitarian : Sweden donated $2.08 million 03/10/2013 11:59:50 The funding will also help IOM to provide training and capacity building for national protection stakeholders, including the Ministry of Women’s Conditions and local NGOs, to improve coordination and quality of services among key social partners and ensure that humanitarian assistance reaches the most vulnerable in a timely manner. The IOM project will prioritize camps under threat of eviction, with high incidence of crime, and sexual and gender based violence. "The most vulnerable beneficiaries will be identified and provided with a relocation grant, as well as relocation support and specialized services according to their protection needs. This project will allow us to intervene rapidly to assist those most in need in camps that are presently not targeted by any return project," explains Fanette Blanc, IOM protection unit programme manager. An estimated 2,000 individuals (approximately 500 households), including unaccompanied minors, survivors and victims of sexual and gender based violence (SGBV), abandoned elderly and single heads of household, will receive assistance, either directly or through referral to project partners. IOM will also facilitate access to national identification for those lacking identity documents, a prerequisite to access health, education and social services. As part of the programme, beneficiaries will have the opportunity to attend a six-month professional training in the fields of masonry, plumbing, sewing, IT, cosmetics and cooking. At the end of the training, they will receive materials to start small businesses for income generation. Monitoring of evictions will continue and local authorities will be trained on the legal framework regarding evictions. The funding will allow the IOM camp management operations unit to continue providing basic services in camps and respond to any emergencies that might occur. HL/ HaitiLibre
