Strengthening the resilience of internally displaced populations. The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat), with the support of the European Union's Instrument contributing to Peacekeeping (IcSP), is implementing a project aimed at "Strengthening the resilience of local authorities in the face of massive population displacements and the Covid Pandemic of -19″ in the Centre-North regions (Kaya, Kongoussi and Tougouri) and the Sahel (Dori).

• to increase the institutional and operational capacities of the municipalities affected by the influx of people in order to better respond to the challenges generated by these massive and unexpected arrivals of people;
• increase access to basic social services (school, health, drinking water and sanitation) and adequate housing for vulnerable communities (IDPs and local populations) in the face of strong pressure from unprecedented population growth;
• Contribute to building the socio-economic and health resilience of vulnerable internally displaced and indigenous communities, particularly women and girls, through income-generating activities;
• strengthening social cohesion, peaceful coexistence, reducing the stigmatisation of vulnerable communities and ultimately consolidating peace, and
• reduce the environmental impact of the humanitarian crisis.

• Building socio-economic resilience
  • Identify appropriate income-generating activities for women in vulnerable situations (both local populations and displaced persons), adapted to the local context (including humanitarian and security situations and existing skills), (including those under B);
  • Organise consultations with each CMRU to validate the lists of proposed activities for income-generating activities;
  • Develop training modules around the identified promising income-generating activities;
  • Facilitate micro-clusters of enterprises focused on creating a productive alliance between local and displaced women.
• Environmental protection, green jobs and green circular economy (including waste recovery and greening of urban spaces)
  • Organise training sessions on the management chain (collection, sorting and recycling) of household waste for the inhabitants of the project's neighbourhoods and introduce business development opportunities around waste management and environmental protection);
  • On the basis of the training, provide community groups (local housing and waste recovery cooperatives) with equipment for the collection, sorting and recycling of waste;
  • Design and organise awareness-raising activities (e.g. in schools, which have benefited from the project's investments and for women who benefit from it) on the importance of environmental protection;
  • Acquire and install litter bins in public spaces in the areas benefiting from the implementation of the project;
  • Organise planting and maintenance activities of green spaces in public areas in or near the project neighbourhoods, upon proposal and in coordination with the CMRU.
• Reducing and preventing gender-based violence
  • Organize forums and/or community awareness-raising activities on GBV in informal settlements with a high concentration of IDPs and within TSS (e.g. theatre sessions or similar);
  • Develop a communication strategy around GBV, including designing and disseminating key messages to be disseminated in the local media on GBV risks (including in local languages) or information materials around GBV;
  • Organise training sessions for actors at the regional and provincial levels (Kaya, Kongoussi and Dori) on how to reduce GBV in their areas of responsibility.
• Hygiene and public health
  • Organise awareness campaigns for IDPs and indigenous communities on good hygiene and sanitation practices adapted to their current living environment (with limited access to water and sanitation);
  • Design and disseminate relevant messages on good environmental public health and hygiene practices;
  • Organise activities on public health actions in schools, health centres, green spaces, public gardens, etc., including the impact of the environment on health ;
