Delivery of emergency MPCA to meet the most essential basic needs of the affected population of the Gaza Strip ltpgtThe scope of the proposed intervention is to provide one-off Emergency MPCA (EMPCA) to households in the Gaza Strip affected by the current conflict. PUI will target 1820 households (10192 individuals) by providing one-off emergency MPCA amounting to 754 ILS. The proposed transfer value (MPCA) was calculated and endorsed by the Cash Working Group (CWG) based on the Survival-Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB). This assistance will allow households to cover their basic needs (food, health, hygiene, shelter, etc.) for a period of one month. Households targeted will be those displaced within the Gaza Strip, living either in designated emergency shelters, collective shelters, tents/self-made shelters or in hosting families. The CWG specified that all IDPs should be considered eligible for MPCA considering their current hardship. In line with the approach proposed for other interventions, PUI will try to reach the most vulnerable IDPs prioritizing: large HHs, female-headed households, households headed by elderly, IDPs from the North of Gaza etc.). ltbrgtThe selection of the caseload will be closely coordinated with IDP WG and the Gaza CWG, using the lists provided by MoSD, local CBOs or relevant public entities (schools, community centers) and local committees as a primary source. Crosscheck with the centralized database at IDP WG/OCHA will be ensured to avoid duplications and thus issuing the final list of beneficiaries. ltbrgtThe cash transfer will be made through PALPAY, with whom PUI has signed a Framework Agreement to support MPCA interventions already carried out in October and November 2023. With the CWG and other actors working in MPCA, PUI is constantly monitoring PALPAY work to better assist the recipients of aid and reduce the risk of frauds/abuse perpetrated by vendors. ltbrgtThe proposed targeted areas are Rafah (40%), Khan Yunis (20%) and Middle Area Governorates (40%), even though multiple displacements are often reported because of the ever-changing context and hence the proposed percentages might change in the future. ltbrgtIn coordination with the Cash Working Group and other relevant clusters (such as the Food Security Cluster), PUI will closely monitor the situation on the market to adapt its intervention should good and services’ accessibility, availability and overall functionality of the market change in a way that could potentially jeopardize the activities and even cause harm to the targeted population. 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.lt/pgt
