Addressing critical WASH needs of displaced population in the Gaza Strip ltpgtThe scope of the proposed intervention is to address critical water, sanitation and hygiene needs of the population affected by the conflict in the Gaza Strip. Premiere Urgence Internationale (PUI) intends to support IDPs inside collective shelters, with a focus on informal shelters, as well as hosting communities. The project consists of different actions: distribution of Hygiene Kits, Water Trucking provision, installation of toilet blocks and Cleaning/Sanitation services. The activities will be carried out with the support of the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committees (PARC), an implementing partner that is collaborating with PUI in the planning and implementation of similar WASH activities in the Gaza Strip. PUI aims at providing basic WASH services to the targeted population to enhance their resilience via the provision of safe water and the promotion of improved sanitation and hygiene practices. ltbrgtFor the distribution of Hygiene Kits, PUI aims at distributing 1100 Hygiene kits containing essential hygiene items as per WASH cluster recommendation. PUI and PARC already carried out Hygiene Kits distributions to 1500 HHs during the ongoing conflict. ltbrgtFor the water provision component, PUI and PARC will ensure water trucking support to IDPs living in Informal Shelters (outside UNRWA shelters) and in hosting communities. In coordination with the WASH cluster and other WASH actors, PUI and PARC are planning to ensure four months of water trucking provision, with an estimated amount of 720 cubic meter of water to be distributed each month. PUI and PARC will closely monitor the delivery process to ensure the quality and safety of the delivered water. ltbrgtFor the installation of toilet blocks, PUI plans to establish 10 toilet blocks in different locations of the targeted areas. Each block consists of 5 toilet units and can serve at least 400 individuals. The selection of locations will be done in full consultation with Wash Cluster, MoSD and other relevant WASH actors. ltbrgtFinally, PUI and PARC will support the targeted IDP population communities with basic cleaning/sanitation services that will be designed to complement the other services provided. A specific focus will be placed on Informal shelters, prioritizing overcrowded shelters. ltbrgtIt is important to mention that PARC and PUI have already launched water-trucking, installation of toilets and cleaning/sanitation activities in the Gaza Trips. Therefore, PUI can ensure that most of the preparation steps for the proposed activities will be already cleared by the start date of the proposed intervention and that all the necessary coordination/implementation/monitoring mechanism will be fully in place. ltbrgtOf all the 4 activities proposed, PUI will directly procure Hygiene Kits and supervise the Installation of toilet blocks. PARC will manage the budget for Water Trucking and cleaning/sanitation services provision. The proposed targeted areas are Rafah (40%), Khan Yunis (20%) and Middle Area Governorates (40%). The total estimated caseload for this intervention is 35920 beneficiaries. ltbrgtThe intervention will start on the 30th of December 2023 and will end on the 29th of June 2024, for a total project duration of 6 months. ltbrgtThroughout the implementation period, PUI will ensure that crosscutting considerations, such as Protection or Inclusion related elements, will be taken into account throughout the implementation period. PUI also commits to coordinate the proposed action with all relevant stakeholders to maximize the impact and reduce any risk of duplication. A relevant mechanism to gather complaints and feedback and monitor the activities will be put in place to ensure accountability toward the affected population for PUI and its implementing partner.lt/pgt
