Final Evaluation of the Comprehensive Response to Improve Access to Health Services for Vulnerable Persons

Name of legal entity providing references: Handicap International

Origin of Funding: The European Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO)

Detailed project description:

The project aims at improving short and long-term functional independence and mitigating potential physical and psychosocial health complications of wounded persons and other vulnerable conflict-affected persons. Through a comprehensive approach integrating health and protection, HI plans to operate in Health facilities but also through roving teams. HI's integrated approach also includes a protection component, in order to tackle the events that caused those damages, and the future situation of the beneficiaries. Therefore, HI is including in its intervention a risk education component, to prevent accidents causing impairments or injuries, as well as inclusion awareness to facilitate integration of people with functional limitations. This will be done through a direct approach with roving teams.

HI will also access the IDPs sites and different communities in more remote locations to implement rehabilitation sessions and inclusion awareness sessions and Risk Education.

In order to contribute to the response against the COVID-19 outbreak, despite closure of the response, HI will maintain a capacity to intervene and support MSF’ medical intervention against the COVID-19 within AK hospital and Cheikh Zaid hospital (Amanat al Asimah) in case the situation changes.

HI proposes to:

(R1) Increase access to comprehensive rehabilitation services for people with functional limitations (Including persons with injuries and/or disabilities) and their caregivers affected by the current conflict,

(R2) Increased access to Prosthetics and Orthotics services for people with injuries and/or people with

disabilities affected by the current Yemen crises

(R3) Increased knowledge of affected population towards the explosive hazards risks and mitigation

measures as well as improved knowledge on inclusion.

(R4) Support the COVID-19 health response
