(Hamlet Dafa - Warmth Campaign) حملة دفى.  Provision of winterization assistance to the most vulnerable people in the governorates of Zarqa and Mafraq. The proposed intervention aims to contribute to saving lives, alleviate suffering and increase access to humanitarian assistance for refugees living in hard-to-reach areas, vulnerable refugee and host communities, as well as for those with specific needs in the Governorates of Mafraq and in Zarqa. 

Jordan is currently witnessing an increase in the number of people affected by COVID-19 (30.550 cases according to MOH data). The measures enacted by the Government of Jordan in order to reduce the risk of Sars-CoV-2 has had severe negative impact on the domestic economy, impacting in particular the capacity of the most vulnerable refugees and host communities to meet their basic needs. 

The proposed cash-based winterization intervention is in complementarity with ongoing protection, education and health projects that TdH It is implementing with its local partner, SFWS. 

The intervention will significantly benefit from such complementarity that will provide significant support in terms of beneficiaries’ reach, identification and selection, connection with the local communities and scale economy.  It is a one-time unconditional cash assistance that intends to respond to the Basic needs for winterization of 718 HHs, 3300individuals (878 women, 560men, 931 girls, 931 boys) for refugees and the vulnerable Jordanian people (ratio: 70% refugees - 63% Syrians and 7% non-Syrians- 30% Jordanians), in the Governorates of Zarqa and Mafraq. 

TdH It and its local partner SFWS response has been designed and planned in accordance with JHF allocation and in coordination with UNICEF, UNCHR, through RAIS system and with the MOSD/NAF and with all the relevant stakeholders, both national institutions and international agencies, in order to fill urgent gaps, to ensure support to affected population, taking in due consideration the allocation target priorities: women at risk, children at risk, older person at risk, single parent or caregiver, and persons with disabilities. It will also consider HHs with additional vulnerabilities including female headed or falling in more than one of the targeted groups (elderly, disabled refugee).  

Due to the heightened problems of meeting basic needs and reduced livelihood opportunities, exacerbated during the Covid-19 pandemic, the action provides cash assistance for winterization, through mobile wallet, by utilizing a service provider contract under Common Cash Facility (CCF), which  TDH IT has already in place, to the most vulnerable WGBM’s refugees living in hard to reach areas of Mafraq, and refugee and host communities in the governorates of Mafraq and Zarqa. The assistance will be provided according to the winter packages and the guidelines established by the Winterization Task Force and the Winterization Standards for non-camp refugees.  

The project will have an overall  planned six-month implementation period, starting in November 2020 and ending in April 2021, with the cash assistance provided throughout the four winter months, until the end of March and the last month used for post monitoring questionnaires and reports.
