The development objective of Emergency Drought Response and Recovery Project is to address the immediate needs of the drought affected people within the territory of the Federal Republic of Somalia, and support resilient recovery through the provision of livelihood opportunities and the restoration of agricultural and pastoral production. This project has two components. 1) The first component, Programmatic Support to International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) for Immediate Drought Response, aims to support ICRC’s ongoing multidisciplinary response to immediate needs arising out of the country-wide impacts of the drought in Somalia. It has the following four subcomponents: (i) Meeting Urgent Food Security Needs; (ii) Improving Access to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene; (iii) Improving Access to Healthcare and Nutrition; and (iv) Project Management. 2) The second component, Programmatic Support to Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) for Immediate Drought Response and Recovery, aims to support the FAO’s Drought Response and Famine Prevention Plan for 2017, with the objective of increasing immediate access to food, safeguarding livelihoods and assets, and supporting the sustainable recovery of agriculture, pastoral and agro-pastoral livelihood systems in target communities. It has the following five subcomponents: (i) Cash-for-Work for Immediate Food Needs and Water Infrastructure Rehabilitation; (ii) Emergency Cash and Agricultural Livelihood Support; (iii) Restoration of Pastoral Livelihoods; (iv) Strengthening Disaster Preparedness, Monitoring and Early Warning Systems; and (v) Project Management.

If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
