Geneva,  24 January 2002


The fighting in Liberia's Lofa County, bordering on Sierra Leone and
Guinea, between the Liberian Army and rebels, which began in 1999
continues. On 23 November 2001, the Liberian Government confirmed a new
outbreak of dissident hostilities and fighting in Fassama in Gbarpolu
County (formerly Lower Lofa). By 1 December 2001, a total of 1,900 persons
fled to the Bopolu where there was an IDP camp housing more then 2,000
people.  On 7 December 2001 heavy weapon-fire was heard and again panic
ensued and although no fighting took place in Bopolu a spontaneous
evacuation of the Bopolu Camp took place.  The residents of the camp and
those awaiting shelter began to flee to safer locations.

By 9 December, the exodus of the Bopolu camp was complete.  More than
8,000 persons including residents of villages along the route from Bopolu
to Tubmanburg were now within five miles north of Tubmanburg, a provincial
town located 55 miles northwest of Monrovia.  The figure of 8,000 include
those IDPs previously residing in the Bopolu camp, the newly arrived
persons from the Fassama area of fighting, and those who witnessed the
fleeing crowds and decided that their own locations would soon be at risk.
Given the trend of movement it is estimated that the number of displaced
people heading for the Tubmanburg area would reach 10,000.

There have also been calls to relocate occupants from Jenamana camp in
neighboring Cape Mount County, where close to 8,000 IDPs reside. There are
discussions with Government authorities to relocate both the IDPs from
Bopolu and Jenamana. A creation of a new IDP camp much closer to the
capital Monrovia is being discussed. With the relocation of IDPs from the
two camps and surrounding towns and villages, the total number of IDPs
being hosted in various IDP camps is expected to reach an estimated 50,000
persons.

The Lutheran World Federation/Department for World Service (LWF/DWS), in
collaboration with other ACT partners and NGO's in the country proposes
assisting 22,000 IDPs residing in the camps. The assistance will include:
Camp establishment and management, distribution of non-food items,
distribution of seeds and tools, support in shelter construction and
repairs, water and sanitation and, training in disaster management for IDP
leaders. Proposals from the Liberia Christian Council with its partner
Concerned Christian Communities (LCC/CCC), and the Lutheran Church in
Liberia (LCL) are being discussed and will form part of a revised appeal
at a later stage.

Program



IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION

The LWF/DWS Liberia Program started emergency assistance for the victims
of the Liberian civil war in 1990. Over the last 10 years, LWF/DWS has
carried out emergency assistance in 8 of Liberia's 14 Counties. During
this period over 600.000 persons were assisted through large-scale food
distributions, distribution of non-food items, seeds and tools
distribution, emergency school feeding programs and shelter construction.

LWF/DWS works in close collaboration with the Lutheran Church in Liberia
(LCL).  The Joint Consultative Committee (JCC) with representation from
LWF/DWS and LCL, guides the overall LWF/DWS program in Liberia, including
emergency assistance.

The Liberian Refugee Repatriation and Resettlement Committee (LRRRC) is
the government agency mandated to deal with all aspects of assistance to
IDPs and refugees. All LWF/DWS emergency assistance work is closely
coordinated with the LRRRC.

LWF/DWS is an active member of the Management Steering Group, a
consultative body of the INGO's in Liberia. The MSG meets fortnightly to
discuss security issues, emergency needs, relations with government and
program management issues.

Other ACT Partners in Liberia are:
Liberian Council of Churches (LCC)
Lutheran Church in Liberia (LCL)
United Methodist Committee On Relief (UMCOR)
Christian Health Association of Liberia (CHAL)
Concerned Christian Community (CCC)

The ACT Partners in Liberia have established a network in the country. The
purpose of the network is to ensure coordination of emergency response,
emergency planning and disaster preparedness. Members of the Network are
committed to sharing information in order to avoid duplication of
activities. The Liberia Council of Churches (LCC) is the present Convener
of the Network.

To coordinate ACT inputs, the agencies organized a one-day ACT Liberia
Network workshop, facilitated by LWF/DWS, in preparation for a new ACT
Appeal. The present situation around IDPs was analyzed and needs
identified that were not sufficiently covered. The ACT Partners agreed to
focus on the gaps in emergency assistance rendered to IDPs. The Liberian
Council of Churches, working with LWF/DWS, will function as a secretariat
to compare the draft ACT Appeals submitted by individual members.



DESCRPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background

A decade of fighting and insecurity in the Mano River Union Basin
(Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea) has made thousands of people homeless.
Refugees and IDPs have been at the mercy of rebel faction fighting,
fleeing their homes and seeking safety in camps. The situation in the
region is slowly stabilizing, especially now that the disarmament process
in Sierra Leone is well underway. Nevertheless, over 500.000 refugees are
still living a life of utter dependency in Sierra Leone, Guinea and
Liberia.

While the situation in most parts of Liberia is relatively secure, Lofa
County is still heavily affected by the effect of rebels fighting the
Liberian army. It is alleged that the rebels get support from and operate
out of Guinea, while on the other hand the international community accuses
Liberia of harboring elements and giving support to RUF fighters in Sierra
Leone. The UN has imposed sanctions on Liberia in an effort to deny
further support to the RUF in Sierra Leone. The trend in the Lofa fighting
is unpredictable and there is no guarantee that the problem is being
resolved. Humanitarian agencies remain alert and prepared to deal with
sudden and dramatic changes in the situation with the accompanying
humanitarian crisis such as the situation with the current upsurge of
fighting in Lofa, since the end of November 01.

LWF/DWS, with the support of ACT, has been and still is involved in the
three countries of the Mano River Union Basin, looking after the welfare
of refugees and IDPs.


Current Situation

Since the beginning of 2001, around 60,000 persons have fled Lofa County.
Of these, a total number of around 43,108 are more or less catered for by
aid agencies in IDP camps in Bong. Gbarpolu and Cape Mount Counties. Some
have gone into villages far away from the major towns, while others have
found refuge across the border or are staying with relatives who are able
to look after themselves. Of late about 5,000 IDPs have moved out of the
Bopolu IDP camp and were joined by an additional 3,000 or more who have
all moved within 55 miles of Monrovia.

The IDPs are located in the following camps*;

*Case-load as per 12 December, 2001



Impact on Human Lives

Practically all of the IDPs have had to flee their homes for a second
time. They had returned to Lofa County during 1996-97 and started to
rebuild their lives, when the current fighting made them flee once again.
It is estimated that 50% of the IDPs are separated from family members.
The majority of the people living in the camps are women and children.
IDPs reported that government troops prohibited many of the men and boys
from leaving Lofa County. This fact accounts for the low average number
(below 4) of family members per household - normally the average is around
6 family members per household.

While the material damage and destruction in towns and villages in the war
zone is substantial, the effect the situation has on the minds of people
can only be described as deeply traumatic.


Living conditions in the camps are grim. Camps were established during the
period May - August 01, but much remains to be done to provide the basic
minimum standards. Aid agencies do provide assistance to IDPs, but overall
support from the international donor community has been very limited to
Liberia in general. The type of food served is not liked by the displaced
neither do they know how to prepare it well.

Basically all of the assistance to IDPs has to come from the aid agencies
present in Liberia, as government resources are very limited. While most
of the aid agencies here underwrite the SPHERE Minimum Standards in
Disaster Response, adherence to these ideals has proven difficult in view
of low donor support.



Description of Damages

Places particularly hit during the fighting are the towns of Zorzor,
Voinjama, Kolahun and Vahun. Recent fighting has now extended this damage
to towns including Fassama, Belle Yella and other towns and villages in
Gbapolu County. Most of the public buildings and many private houses in
these towns were looted and set on fire, especially when forces had to
withdraw. Also the Curran Lutheran Hospital in Zorzor was severely damaged
and looted. Curran Hospital is a major (40 beds) regional hospital that
had come back into operation in late 1997 after it had been destroyed in
1995.

The war in Lofa has a direct impact on the rest of Liberia in the medium
term. Lofa is considered the grain belt, or rice bowl of the country.
Domestic food production will be drastically reduced during 2002.



Locations for Proposed Response

Under ACT-AFLR11, LWF/DWS was involved in camp management in the Bopolu
camp and worked in close collaboration with the LRRRC and other INGO's in
the camp. Bopolu, which was only established in June last year has now
been evacuated. A new camp will be set up the vicinity of Bomi County,
south of Tubmanburg City towards the capital, Monrovia.

In the new camp to be established in Bomi County, LWF/DWS will focus
attention on ensuring a proper registration, establishment and maintenance
of camp management, support to shelter construction, assistance to water
and sanitation and provision of non-food items for vulnerable families. As
the residents establish their homes and settle down, assistance will be
provided in the form of agriculture tools and seeds for IDPs to undertake
farming activities of short-term crops. In the other camps, assistance in
non-food items will continue. In Bellefanai, a camp established some three
months ago, LWF/DWS will carry out agriculture assistance for an estimated
1000 farm families.

The Western and Central operational LWF/DWS bases provide some logistic
and monitoring support to the LWF/DWS emergency work.

Due to the very limited support from the donor community, aid agencies
often have to improvise and combine resources to effectively respond to
the situation. Specific planning under such circumstances is difficult and
LWF/DWS emergency resources and inputs are used where and when most
needed. This is decided in consultation with the other agencies involved.

In view of the very scarce resources available for the IDPs, especially
food, LWF/DWS plans to have a major impact in food production. Most camps
have access to land and with seeds and tools inputs, IDPs are eager to
grow their own food.



Disaster and Emergency Statistics

The statistics on IDP populations in camps are the figures agreed upon by
the LRRRC and the aid agencies involved in rendering assistance. All camps
are managed by the Government's LRRRC. However, at each camp there is a
lead international NGO that supports camp management.

The agencies in charge of camp management keep records on caseload changes
and a census is conducted if any doubt arises on population statistics.



Current Security Situation

Fighting continues over the control of major towns, such as Foya and
Kolahun in the upper part of Lofa County. The whole area of the County
above the St. Paul's river is off limits for aid agencies and any people
hiding in the forests are out of range for emergency assistance. Aid
agencies have taken a common stand vis a vis the government of Liberia
that they will only render their assistance in such places where the
inputs can be controlled and are safeguarded from pilferage by security
forces.

The influx of IDPs to the camps that had reduced to a trickle in the
preceding months has now increased dramatically. The recent flare up in
the fighting has forced thousands of people, including IDPs already
settled in camps since May 2001, on the move again. There is no prospect
for IDPs to return home in the near future. It is the wide spread opinion
here that peace and stability will only come if the leaders in the Mano
River Union come together and decide that enough is enough. The continuing
disarmament in Sierra Leone and the upcoming elections during the first
half of 2002 as well as the elections scheduled to take place in Liberia
during 2003, may be factors contributing to a final peace settlement.




GOAL & OBJECTIVES

Goal

LWF/DWS will provide emergency assistance to 22,000 of the estimated
60,000 IDPs that have fled the fighting in Lofa County and currently
reside in IDP Camps in Liberia.



Objectives

Specific objectives are:

To provide non-food assistance

To improve the water and sanitation situation

Food security - distribution of seeds and tools.

To assist IDPs in undertaking activities that will help improve their well
being over a period of 12 months.

Social mobilization will form an integral part of the project strategy,
whereby IDPs will begin to participate actively in the provision of basic
services and provision of leadership.

A disaster management-training workshop will be carried out for IDP
leaders to better prepare them for carrying out their tasks.



This proposal is written in two components. A crisis phase will be
implemented within 1-3 months. This phase will provide immediate relief
assistance. A post crisis phase will cater to temporary needs of the IDPs
while they wait to return home when the security situation allows. The
IDPs will take the lead role in all aspects of camp management activities
and self-help initiatives undertaken will be supported. Altogether 12
months (3 months crisis phase and 9 months post crisis phase) is the
duration of this project.

The input of seeds and tools will improve the overall food security of the
IDP population in the camps. Distribution will go hand in hand with short
and focused farmers' training sessions on agricultural techniques.



TARGETED BENEFICIARIES

The total numbers of targeted beneficiaries are 22,000, with 10,000 in
western Liberia camps and 12,000 of the IDPs in 4 camps in Bong County A
breakdown of the activities is as follows:

Activity
Beneficiaries

Camp Management
Manage new camp, western Liberia (10,000)

Non-food distribution
5000 persons

Agriculture
3000 farm families

Shelter construction/repair
880 families

Water and Sanitation
3000 persons

Disaster Management and Leadership
  120 persons

Note: Average family size is 1:4.

Selection of the beneficiaries is based on need and vulnerability and is
done in close consultation with other agencies. Through social
mobilization (IEC - information, education and communication strategy)
IDPs themselves will be fully involved in identifying and properly
targeting beneficiaries for various levels of services. LWF/DWS is not
targeting total caseload of IDPs for certain activities. This is because
there are other NGOs who have resources for undertaking some of the
activities and through our NGO coordination mechanism it is established
which agency will do what, to a large extent.

Implementation and Transition from Emergency

The Emergency Officer based at head office in Monrovia with frequent
visits to the field will oversee the day-to day implementation of
activities outlined in this Appeal. He reports to the Assistant Program
Coordinator. The latter in turn reports to the Program Manager of LWF/DWS
Liberia Program, who has ultimate responsibilities for all programs in
Liberia.

Two Emergency Assistants (one based in central Liberia - Bong County and
one based in western Liberia - Bomi, Gbarpolu and Cape Mount Counties)
will assist the Emergency Officer. The following working teams will carry
out the emergency program: Social mobilization team, Water and Sanitation,
Camp Management, Relief Monitors (non-food items distribution).

These teams are backed up by a small logistic unit. Three vehicles are
foreseen in this operation, backed up by motorcycles for monitoring
purposes. A camp management team headed by a Camp Manager will be
stationed at the new site to be established for fleeing IDPs from Bopolu
and those to be relocated from Jenemana.

Emergency staff members stationed in Phebe, Bong County will cater to
camps in the central region while other staff are assigned in the western
region to cater to camps in Bomi and Gbapolu. LWF/DWS operational bases in
these regions will provide support to this emergency program in the form
of technical staff input and logistics.

Transition from emergency will only be possible when peace and security in
Lofa County has been restored. Since the 1997 elections in Liberia and
upon the return of thousands of refugees and IDPs to their home areas,
LWF/DWS has been involved in resettlement activities. A major focus has
been on trauma healing and reconciliation through the Trauma Healing and
Reconciliation Project (THRP), a joint venture of the LCL and LWF/DWS.
This project has and continues to train Counselors that work throughout
the country and assist individuals, communities, former soldiers and
rebels to come to grips with collective or individual feelings of hatred,
shame, fear and other emotions associated with deep traumatic experiences.
This approach, in combination with inputs in food production, education
and micro-finance for development, is of crucial importance to successful
transition to normal livelihood.



ADMINISTRATION, FINANCE, MONITORING & REPORTING

Administration

LWF/DWS emergency and development operations are conducted from the field
office in Monrovia. With the support of the Program Coordination Unit and
the Finance Office, the Program Manager directs the program activities
throughout Liberia and reports to LWF/DWS Headquarters in Geneva.
Emergency operations come under the direct responsibilities of the Program
Manager and the Assistant Program Coordinator, who supervises the work of
the Emergency Officer and support staff. A team of 2 persons at the
LWF/DWS office in Monrovia follows the day to day activities, attend the
weekly IDP Coordination meetings chaired by the LRRRC, reviews and advises
the Program Manager on the detailed work plans, field activities and
reports of the emergency field staff.



Finance

LWF/DWS financial systems and controls are consistent with internationally
accepted accounting practices. The Finance Manager supervises all
expenditures and coordinates financial reporting to the donors.

All LWF/DWS accounts are subjected to internal audits and to an external
end-of-year audit. Financial and Narrative reports will be prepared as per
ACT schedules. Funds for the ACT activities will be disbursed through the
LWF/DWS office in Geneva.



Monitoring

The LWF/DWS Program Unit will monitor the activities carried out under
this ACT Appeal, through regular field visits. Observation resulting from
such visits will be fed back to the project to improve its efficiency and
will as well be incorporated in the reports to ACT.
