Non-Food Items (NFIs) to vulnerable households at risk of exposure or affected
by natural or manmade hazards with an average value 2,500 USD (1,000 – 4,000 USD) including NFIs.
The planned number of BNFs are 100 HHs (700 Individuals:185 boys, 177 girls,
160 males, 158 females, 20 elderly) including 17 PwDs. Priority will be given
to female-headed. These cases are distributed among Rafah, Khan Younis and
Middle area governorates. PEF has coordinated the proposed intervention with
the Shelter Cluster and the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (MoPWH). However,
MoPWH provided PEF with 252 cases (Hardship / without income) from substandard shelters,
as PEF applied the social and technical vulnerabilities scoring system adopted
by the Shelter Cluster through field assessment of a random sample consists of 37
cases (Distributed: Rafah, Khan Younis, Maghazi, Buraij) to verify the
nominated cases from MoPWH. However, all cases will be re-assessed socially and
technically in full coordination with the Cluster, MoPWH and MoSD to select the
most vulnerable cases in line with oPt HF 1st standard allocation 2023
priorities. Moreover, the intervention will support the vulnerable HHs to meet
basic needs and enhance their coping capacities. On another hand, enhance their
knowledge and awareness about Green Shelter (Environmental-friendly shelter)
practices through rehabilitation/upgrading works’ implementation phaseltbrgt
and through the operation to protect the environment. The awareness sessions will
include dust, noise reduction, energy and water conservation techniques, solid
waste management and reduction, using of solar energy, reuse of gray water,
planting … etc. Moreover, the awareness sessions will cover topics related to
PSEA, GBV, women empowerment in decision making process and social accountability.
PEF will consult the final beneficiaries on their needs and preferences for the
rehabilitation and upgrading works, taking into consideration in particular
specific needs of women, children, older people and PwDs. PEF will propose to
households an owner - driven approach (Self-help modality) to rehabilitation of
their houses. Technical support will be provided by three engineers

any protection case through field visits / awareness sessions and ensure proper
referral and management with specialized agencies. Feedbacks, complaints and response
mechanism will be established and announced among all cases and will be managed
confidentially. Post-intervention satisfaction assessment will be conducted
among all BNFs.lt/spangt
