(Envelop 1 and 2): Life-saving and life-sustaining multisector response under the sectors education, ESNFI, FSL, to address the most pressing winterization and food security needs in Northwest Syria and ensure the continuation of services in underserved areas. Leveraging a multi-sector response under the sectors ESNFI, education, and FSL, Violet (VO) is proposing a complementary, integrated and comprehensive 6 months project to address the most urgent and pressing food security and winterization needs in Northwest Syria (NWS) for both children in the schools and vulnerable HHs. The project was designed based on the need assessment as well as clusters guidance and includes the following activities:

- Edu: VO aims to achieve the objective of improving a safe and accessible learning environment in the classrooms/tents during the winter by Covering the winte needs of 29,778 BNFs (48% girls), 1208 adults (50% female) 23% of BNFs are IDPs. VO will target 77 schools/temporary learning spaces in 28 communities across Idleb and Aleppo Govs with the provision of 131,824 L of fuel for heating (3.5 L of heating fuel for each classroom during 44 days), 5 fuel tanks (2000 L), and 38 stoves. 49 out of the targeted schools are currently supported by VO under SCHF 1st SA 22 (which does not include a winterization component), while the remaining 28 schools are supported by SR and TAS under Manahel Program. VO has coordinated the project design with the respective organizations. In total, the project targets 5 camps, 77 learning spaces (shifts), and 856 classroom/education tents. During the design of this activity, VO took into account the safe-programming principles to ensure that especially children and vulnerable adults are safe and protected

- ESNFI: VO aims to reach 4100 vulnerable HHs (20500 Individuals) both HC and IDPs in and out of camps with winter assistance to enable them cope with the harsh winter. The activity will be implemented through cash modality to ensure a flexible and dignified approach, where each family will receive one-off cash grant ($150) sufficient to cover the winter needs of a 5 members-family during the winter. The cash amount is designed based on the SNFI cluster recommendation and the modality was selected based on the BNFs' preference through VO assessment. The activity is aligned with the current cluster objectives and to seeks to cover the huge gap resulting from the increasing needs and massive reduction of funds for NWS cross-border response. the targeted sites can be found attached. 

- FSL: VO is proposing to target 750 HHs (4075 ind 1040 men, 1156 women, 962 boys, and 917 girls)) with PWDs family members (975 PWDs  474 men, 308 women, 69 boys and 124 girls) in Ariha and Salqin with Emergency Food Assistance through the monthly provision of Cash for food ($65) for 4 months. This activity is a continuation of an ongoing project (provision of e-vouchers for food for 2,000 HHs in partnership with CARE under GFFO funding), where VO will prioritize the BNFs with high vulnerabilities such as the HHs with members having special needs. Food security assistance to HHs with PWDs will be provided in the form of cash by the Financial service provider aiming at improving the most vulnerable  access to food through covering 70% of the daily kcal intake (1550 Kcal/ person/ day) and diversify their food intake. Violet confirm its readiness to start the implementation once the current project ends and the distribution is planned to be done in March, April, May, June and July 2023, knowing that Violet has active contract with FSP in place and already identified the beneficiaries. 

A FWA for both cash distribution services and fuel provision is already in place as well as VO's access to the targeted locations, thus all the above activities can be started immediately after signing the respective project agreement (Attached)

The multisector project will complement other VO projects taking into account cost-efficiency, and our contribution. For instance, the schools are already running, but without winterization support. Thus further, VO budgeted the minimum resources to maximize the outcome and will contribute with own existing resources accordingly.
