Request for Proposal For Cross-Border Emergency Response For Conflict-Affected Communities In Mandera County (Kenya) And Belet Hawa District (Somalia)

Request for proposals for Cross-Border Emergency Response for Conflict-Affected Communities in Mandera County (Kenya) and Belet Hawa District (Somalia) Communities in Mandera East Sub-County (Kenya) and Belet Hawa District (Somalia) are facing intersecting humanitarian pressures linked to armed conflict, cross-border displacement, recurrent drought, and weakened access to basic services. The July 2025 conflict in Belet Hawa triggered population movements across the KenyaSomalia border, disrupting livelihoods, markets, and traditional coping mechanisms that communities have historically relied upon to manage shocks. In Mandera East, the influx of displaced households placed additional strain on already limited water sources, food systems, health services, and community support structures. This situation led to households increasingly relying on negative coping strategies, including reduced food consumption, sale of productive assets, and borrowing. In Belet Hawa, prolonged insecurity and repeated displacement left many households without stable access to food, safe water, or psychosocial support, particularly women-headed households, persons with disabilities, and households with young children.
