Envelope 1: Provision of shelter support and integrated services for vulnerable populations in northwest Syria Under this project, IOM proposes to provide dignified shelter with complementary infrastructure, CCCM, WASH, and Protection services in 9 informal sites and surrounding locations in Idleb, in addition to the provision of CCCM and Protection support in an additional 3 sites (in total 12 sites), targeting 31,876 unique beneficiaries (most beneficiaries will receive multiple, complementary services). Lastly, IOM proposes to continue CCCM service provision in 10 IOM-managed Planned Camps (PCs) to ensure the successful completion of the dignified shelter intervention under SCHF-funded project-20631. 

In the 9 informal sites in Idleb, IOM, through its Implementing Partner (IP) IYD, proposes to install 2,020 Transitional Dignified Shelters (TDS). The following informal sites in Dana and Maaret Tamsrin sub-districts will be targeted: Muzun, Alsadaka Alkhayri, Rieayat Altufula, Al- Harraqat, Al Khald, Harbnush, Sinjar, Al Huda, and Ehsan. These locations were selected based on available Housing, Land and Property (HLP) documentation, flood/wind vulnerability, tent coverage and acute needs. Considering expected incoming population movements into the 9 targeted camps in addition to those who already live there, 286 TDS units out of the 2,020 will be used to respond to the expected inflow of IDPs. To ensure dignified living conditions, the shelter intervention will be complemented by infrastructure upgrades, WASH, CCCM, and Protection services. Should no influx of IDPs to any of the 9 camps occur during the project period, IOM will seek to identify one or more other camps to build these TDS. Any project savings will also be utilized to construct more units. IOM will also seek to identify other donors who could potentially contribute to the infrastructure including WASH and site improvements.

Under the proposed complementary WASH component, IOM and its IP (IYD) will, in coordination with other actors, engage in the provision of water trucking or water networks, the construction and/or maintenance of household-level sewer networks, sludge management, solid waste management, hygiene awareness, community engagement and hygiene kit distributions in the same 9 camps. In addition, emergency WASH services will be extended to the incoming population alongside TDS, both in the 9 camps and any other camps that might be identified.   

Under the proposed protection component, IOM and Syria Relief will provide integrated protection services in the 9 sites targeted with shelter support, in addition to three other sites already identified: Dalama, Ayadi and Halab Alshahba-2, as well as adjacent communities, by establishing 6 Protection help desks and 3 outreach teams. 

IOM’s CCCM team proposes to support local governance structures, conduct trainings on Sphere standards, and implement fire risk mitigation activities in the 12 camps mentioned above. In addition to that, IOM also proposes to continue camp management activities in the 10 IOM-managed PCs, which are currently funded by SCHF under project-20631, to install dignified shelters there. Following the installation of the dignified shelters under multiple donors, the CCCM team will be providing care and maintenance training. IOM will also execute a phase-out plan for the 10 PCs by the end of Dec 2022.

2023 Revision
In three of the originally 12 targeted camps (Dalama, Ayadi, Halab Alshahba-2), under WASH and shelter, other agencies have already started covering the sites. To avoid duplication, these three camps have been removed from the shelter and WASH components, but not from Protection and CCCM. The remaining funds are re-purposed to respond to expected population inflows to any of the 9 camps that will benefit from TDS units. Should there be no influx during the implementation, IOM will seek to identify other camps that could benefit from these services. As such, targets and budgets remain largely unchanged for these components.
