critical infrastructures work to restore and rehabilitate the infrastructure of
the main markets and its leading roads, in addition to supporting business owners
whose businesses were affected (depleted/disrupted) due to the EQ in Maret
Tamsrin(Idleb)and Suran (Aleppo)lt/spangt communities, as these locations are
considered from the most affected by the earthquake (EQ) that struck northwest
Syria 6/2/2023 as well as a high priority in terms of need as recommended by
ERL cluster. The project will target directly 1,775HHs (8879individuals: 1444 men, 1596 women, 2971 boys, and 2868 girls, PwDs), and indirectly the total population in both communities  13,944HHs as they will benefit from the markets and roads rehabilitation, the project includes three main
interventions:lt/pgtltpgt
- 1st: The rehabilitation of the Ten main markets and their infrastructure
along with the sub-streets connected to it by rehabilitating the electricity
network and providing lighting poles with solar power, WASH facilities, drainage
channels, Providing waste containers, and repairing the roads and sidewalks, (Refer
to detailed BoQ D.1, attached). In addition around 50 classrooms in five
schools already supported by (TAS) for the education process in Maret Tamsrin
sub-district will be rehabilitated to facilitate the education environment for 1283
students(619 boys, and 664girls) since they were in bad conditions and affected by
EQ as well(Refer to detailed BoQ D.3, attached). This intervention will be
implemented through contracting with a supplier according to TAS’s policies and
SOPs manuals, and the implementation will be followed up by our field teams.ltbrgt
- 2nd: supporting 70 workers(unskilled) in need of emergency employment for
three months (66 days) through the cash-for-work (CFW) modality through their
work in the rehabilitation of markets and roads, in exchange for a daily wage
of 7 dollars that help them secure their immediate needs.ltbrgt

(depleted/disrupted) due to the EQ and affected their shops in terms of any
construction damages, losing their assets, workers, profits..etc to regain
self-reliance and recovery by providing 1200$ as emergency grants. The initial stage is
the announcement, registration, and verification process by the MEAL team, then conducting proposal training for two days for the initial list of around 550 beneficiaries, then evaluate the proposals and conducting field visits by the committee to verify their situation, and then will decide the final list of 450 business owners to be supported (TAS-Emergency grants  Selection

TAS through this project will be considered a continuation of its response to
the earthquake in Phase 1 which is built on the current experience and lessons
learned and targeting the highest priority communities. Moreover, ltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtAlt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtTS can
easily obtain the support of the local community and benefit from its teams
there already. lt/spangtltspan style="font-size: 14px font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtTAS had also seven previous projects (four of
which are supported by SCHF) to rehabilitate markets and roads and provide
grants for small businesses, which means benefiting from previous experiences
lessons learned, best practices, and the resources of previous projects.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtThe project revolves its interventions around targeting PwDs and women directly, as special facilities will be equipped for them in the markets, including ramps, and they will be given priority in selection to support the recovery of their shops and commercial projects.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtTAS will make an effective coordination with the ERL cluster organizations operating in the same area, and all stakeholders in order to avoid duplication and to achieve the maximum possible benefit to the community.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgt
