In terms of funding, some of the local agencies received funds directly from donors. At the same time, other localization agendas were also emphasized by engaging them into response activities.
During implementation of CP Programme, AAP was considered by providing support towards affected children and/or household of children.
During direct communication with implementing agencies, cash transfer programme were not reported in last couple of months.
Response to Date
Challenges
In collaboration with Government of Bangladesh (GoB) especially DSS, DWA, MoWCA and local administration, Child Protection cluster member agencies have been working to ensure no one was left behind in the emergency response in Cyclone Amphan affected areas. As children became more vulnerable for the wake of Amphan by the violence including GBV, abuse, exploitation and psychosocial distress, the response activities were planned to address them. Moreover, in Amphan affected areas the most susceptible vulnerabilities among women and children including adolescents, and those in various institutions, children that are living on the streets, women and children working in hazardous labour.
Consequently, there has been an increase on the Child Helpline calls related to Amphan, and from Amphan affected areas, an increase in child abuse and use of violent discipline by families were observed.
According to the planned interventions, CP partners have been responding to ensure: Increased case management and PSS (Psychosocial Support); Increased awareness raising, referrals, and PSS messaging; and strengthening CBCPM. To reduce the vulnerabilities and suffering of children living in cyclone-affected areas, the CP partner agencies provided critical life-saving supplies and services.
During Amphan responses, children face unique challenges in seeking support and services due to unavailability of services, social barriers and stigma. In-spite of support of all child protection actors to prevent and mitigate risks of those children who has VAC, SGBV, abuse related protection issues, there is need to upscale protection interventions and this requires more resources to meet the needs of the vulnerable populations. Whereas violence against women, children including adolescents has exponentially increased due to COVID-19, Cyclone Amphan has made it a more challenging to reach vulnerable populations.
Gender Equality and Disability Inclusion
• Gender and disability perspectives have been well considered in all Child protection interventions in order to improve gender equality by describing and counting the distinct needs, response, and benefit rates by gender and age groups, disability including, differences in violations/violence against girls and boys; and their psychosocial services; Tailoring services to reduce separation, violence, child marriage, labour and referral services, to the needs and preferences of girls and boys in different age groups.
• Providing equal opportunities to influence the design of projects for the children of all age/gender groups; and Measuring whether boys, girls and children with disabilities are protected fairly, and barriers systematically addressed.

FSC has cluster focal point for district level coordination where local NGO plays a major role. Localization was ensured
through partnership with local partners, local administrations and their disaster management committees and
involvement of the communities.
Response to Date
Challenges
Key FSL response are: Short-term food assistance to cover the gap of livelihood restoration, is the major response where 52,436 HH or 235,962 people received Food Assistance. MPCG for FSL is the second most utilized response which is targeted for 33,862 HH covering 152,379 people with dissemination of IYCF and food safety message to the beneficiaries. Emergency livelihood recovery support addressing localization & community mobilization is targeted for 13,239 HH covering 59,575 people. Cash for work or Food for work scheme to repair breached embankments and essential community infrastructures related to livelihoods will contribute income generation for 1500 HH covering 6,750 person. WFP covered 16,714 HH with MPCG for FSL. FAO is covering 8274 HH with technical Livelihood Assistance and 1500 HH with CFW. 454,667 people has received or will receive any form of FSL assistance. IYCF and food safety messages are communicated to the beneficiaries.
FSC members are: BDRCS, IRB, OXFAM, SCI, WFP, FAO, Uttaran, SI, Jago nari, CWW, Nobolok, WVB_ NJP_ USAID, ACF, ADRA, Caritas, CBM, COAST trust, UDAYAN, Solidarites, SAJIDA Foundation, HELVETAS, Friendship, GUSS, WorldFish, Christian Aid, Ashroy Foundation, CDD, HMBD Foundation & Plan International.
FSC members need more preparedness on delivering technical food security assistance immediately after a disaster. Maintain the FSC standard response package by the members is a challenge. Monsoon flood also destructed the humanitarian respondents. The destruction of the Amphan cyclone in coastal belt is severe, Due to COVID situation; response is difficult due to safety of staffs and beneficiary. Very low commitment from Humanitarian donors so far. In many areas, physical access is challenged or limited. Very few partners followed the standard response package according to the HCTT contingency plan to bring response harmonization. Most response is Short Term (ST) Food Assistance that is not covering the minimum humanitarian need for Food Security and Livelihood. Local level response coordination is a challenge for timely, effective and coherent response. The calculation of fund mobilized for response is a major challenge, as response package value is not reported. For technical input it takes more time than anticipated.
Gender Equality and Disability Inclusion
HH with PLW, Disability & U-5 children were given priority. As most of the beneficiaries are female, COVID and gender considerations were addressed through appropriate project designing. To ensure protection, awarded beneficiaries not to share any money with any one and to contact WFP’s toll-free hotline number if any one ask for bribe/money for this entitlement. Feedback and accountability mechanisms was ensured in most of the projects according to agency/organization specific standards.
Strengthen participation by persons with disabilities in the response through adapting consultation methods to better include people with disabilities; and improving representation of persons with disabilities in local committees, beneficiary selection process and associations.

The commitment to localization will followed through the baselines established in the 2019 report, particularly building through the following indicators: Coordination and complementarity:
• national representation and engagement in coordination forums and meetings.
• humanitarian response is delivered in a way that is collaborative and complementary (i.e. based on an analysis of the specific strengths/weaknesses of different humanitarian actors).
Response to Date
Challenges
• CARE Bangladesh has distributed 4800 dignity kits and provided psychosocial services (PSS), psychological first aid (PFA) and referral support under the UNFPA CERF project in Patuakhali and Khulna. Non GBV frontline worker orientation and GVB service relevant information
dissemination have also been a part of the CERF project. With the funding of GOAC, CARE is planning to reach 1000 women with 3000BDT as a multi-purpose cash grant. More 1500 dignity kits will be distributed in Patuakhali and Khulna through the funding of CARE USA.
• With UNFPA CERF support, Concerned Women for Family Development (CWFD) has distributed of 1300 Menstrual Health Management (MHM) kits in Patuakhali, reached approximately 7100 women of reproductive age for GBV awareness-raising (through miking, poster hanging, and local cable TV broadcast). 2800 posters on gender-based violence prevention and response messages, menstrual hygiene, mental health, and adverse effect of child marriage have been displayed in locations where there are usual community gatherings. CWFD also trained Alapon helpline counselors on how to actively provide PSS, information on sexual and reproductive health rights (SRHR), and gender-based violence (GBV). The project facilitated promotion of health messages through local cable TV networks including Shahana Cartoon, that conveys messages on prevention of child marriage, gender-based violence etc.
• Plan International Bangladesh with support from multiple partners reached a total of 3879 women of reproductive age with dignity kits and GBV awareness messages through community radio, megaphone, leaflets and posters. Ongoing response activities in Barguna and Khulna district are on the orientation of health workers on SRHR related services and link to Alapon helpline.
• The challenge with cash support in SRH services mainly was the unavailability of beneficiaries own (personal) electronic money transfer account.
• Although the target number is met, there remain gaps in reducing the distress of the affected population. Multi-sector response of the
Humanitarian Response Plan without alignment in targeted beneficiaries appears to be one of the main reasons for these gaps.
Gender Equality and Disability Inclusion
Centrality of Protection is to place protection at the heart of humanitarian response and addressing GBV is among the core concerns of humanitarian protection policy. This GBV plan specifically addressed disability inclusion by targeting and designing response to meet needs to women and girls with disability. Protection will also be an integrated part for individuals seeking sexual and reproductive health care services.

Signed ccontingency PDs of UNICEF with local NGO were activated. NNS/IPHN and Nutrition Cluster supported the
capacity strengthening of the District Nutrition Coordination Committee to respond in Amphan disaster. Divisional
Directors and Civil Surgeons were the lead for the response coordination at divisional and district level.
Response to Date
Challenges
1,150 community volunteers are trained to do under 5 children
nutrition screening at community level and Screening of 102,173
U5 children have been completed using MUAC measurement. A
total of 16,064 children have been identified with MAM and 830
children with SAM. 170 SAM children have already been
admitted under the project and 55 SAM children have been
discharged until end of September. Roll out emergency rapid
surveillance system is planned to be implemented in 4 centers at
district level.
National guidelines on nutrition service continuation during
pandemic, National Guideline for providing essential Maternal,
Newborn and Child Health Services in the context of COVID-19
and Guideline for conducting the immunization program during
COVID-19 pandemic.
Emergency Nutrition supplies are distributed among all 30
nutrition facilities in CERF priority districts. All 30 SAM facilities
received F-75, F100, messages for strengthening screening,
Orientation of SAM management including milk preparation.
Infant Young Child Feeding (IYCF) counseling including leaflets,
posters, plate and bowl for complementary feeding were
planned for 17,000 children identified with MAM or SAM
whereas 11,515 are covered till September. Child Monitoring
Card from CMAM guideline has been adapted and used for
community-based MAM children counseling.
UNICEF field offices are actively monitoring the situation, being
updated on regular basis on service continuity, functionality of
SAM and IMCI-N corners in health facilities with adequate
logistics, skilled HR and reporting violation of BMS act raising
awareness among communities on adopting behavior change to
cope-up with post-Amphan situation as well as with COVID-19
critical situation.
Field level activities were/are disrupted due to
frequent bad weather and pandemic.
A total of 320 more SAM children have been identified
against the target. Ensuring the rights of these children
to get treatment is essential. So, bringing them under
treatment coverage is apparently difficult. In addition,
children with SAM from areas other than Amphan
Response Upazila are admitted into the facilities
causing additional burden to existing arrangement for
SAM children management.
It is important to ensure disinfection of all relevant
anthropometric measurement tools in SAM and
IMCI-N corners.
Physical access to the community clinics are
challenged for pregnant mother and children.
From Nutrition Cluster membership only UNICEF and
Government of Bangladesh responded. Key nutrition
partners like ACF, SCI, WVI, CWW etc. didn’t able to
provide any Nutrition response for the Cyclone
Amphan.
Organization specific resource mobilization for
response was extremely limited.
CHCPs are driven by the reality of helpless situation of
community people since they belong to the same
community. Most of the CHCPs have similar housing
condition as of community people.
Service providers of CCs are refused to provide
services from nearby residence due to fear associated
with COVID-19 (source: CS office). In IMCI-N corners,
because of restriction of touching children, screening
is getting low and SAM identification also goes down.

Super Cyclone Amphan has had a detrimental impact in the coastal districts of Bangladesh and 26 people were killed, about 200000 houses were fully or partially damaged. Total cost of damages caused by the cyclone is BDT 11 billion. In the aftermath of the cyclone, the partners took the initiatives to provide emergency assistance to the affected areas. A total of 18 partners have been implementing their activities in the affected areas. Evacuation supports, tarpaulins, shelter toolkits, NFIs/equivalent cash, school repairing, cash for house repairing have been providing in emergency period and conducted the capacity building training at community level. So far, 279009 people have been covering through emergency shelter supports by partners in 9 districts, which is 76% of total target population and fund coverage by the partners is 64%.
Partners are planning to implement the recovery programs at affected areas, where partially or fully damaged HHs will be given long-term shelter support.
The COVID-19 pandemic situation is still worrying, which is hampering the standard speed of activities. However, partners have been implementing their activities by adopting
precautions measures for the communities and staff’s safety. Necessary coordination has been maintaining by partners with district and upazila level. Govt. departments and participating coordination meetings.
The shelter cluster has also been maintaining close coordination with partners.
The following partners have been leading the activities at affected areas: ADRA BD, BDRCS, BRAC, CB, Concern, HFHI-B, IRB, MA, Oxfam, SCI, SI, UNDP, Uttaran, WF, Shapla neer, HMBD Foundation.
• Cyclone Amphan has caused extensive damages of shelters at affected areas. Still now, a
significant people of the affected areas have not been able to fully repair their shelters.
Therefore, identifying of a few HHs are very challenging from huge needs/demands.
• Communication to reach to different locality is a challenge in some areas which is minimising through using different sort of vehicle and alternative pathways.
• So far, funding gap is 36% for emergency shelter support.
• Heavy rains in last week of September disrupted the activities and causes delaying the activities in some areas.

• Due to new sudden flooded and damaged embankment, its created huge challenge in ongoing cyclone amphan response program as situation shifted from early recovery to immediate flood response program.
• Many people are living in displaced areas and temporary shelters as their houses are flooded again. Considering this context, it’s been difficult to rebuild the WASH facilities. • Political interference is one of the key
challenges for selecting beneficiary through minimizing individual interest whereas
stakeholder and community active engagement in the different steps of selection process ensuring that right people has been identified in line with criteria.
• Road communication has been severely damaged and disrupted which created additional challenges for transporting and carrying materials for WASH construction or restoration.
• Under the COVID-19 situation, maintaining social distance at field level was very
challenging and required additional space and time at distribution point.
• Adverse climatic weather conditions (heat, heavy rain with thunderstorm) generated additional difficulties for the material transportation to distribution points and for the beneficiaries to access these distribution points.
• Local level response coordination is a
challenge for a timely, effective and coherent response due to current COVID-19 and local disrupted communication. The post disaster effect is very critical in the working areas and livelihood become so unstable for the local inhabitants. Cash for work interventions now very critical in some areas due to water stagnant.Local communication is a problem due to the unavailability of regular vehicle's access in some areas.
Gender Equality and Disability Inclusion
Around 30-40% female was included in Project Implementation Committee’s where they played vital role for
orientating local government, civil society for ensuring inclusive beneficiary’s selection process and rolling complain response mechanism effectively. Female headed household, household with pregnant & lactating mother families, elderly member was prioritized throughout beneficiary’s selection process for WASH response. Mention that, women humanitarian frontline workers are playing important role at ground specially from local NGOs as they are facilitating the response program at ground. As this is an emergency project, supporting the affected community is the first objective. Affected community's information was collected and verified from the primary list, where gender and age segregated data and disability information were collected. For cash and hygienic kits distribution, with given priority to women-headed households, PWD and old age family.
