Envelope 1, Resilience Enhancement and Assistance for Communities in Harsh winter (REACH) ltpgtGOAL is proposing an intervention to respond to the most vulnerable people with winterization cash assistance and improve the infrastructure in IDP sites to mitigate flood risks and improve their living conditions. The intervention will also complete the GOAL food security and CVA activities funded by other donors in the same area, ensuring a multi-sectoral and comprehensive response before the harsh winter conditions in Northwestern Syria (NWS).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtGOAL has experience responding to the needs of the most vulnerable people in NWS using cash for winter as a primary response modality. GOAL has reached 131,757 households (HHs) with winter cash assistance since 2016, including 41,757 HHs/207,350 unique individuals in 2022-23 winterization response. Under this project, GOAL is planning to provide additional support to food security and CVA beneficiaries currently supported in GOAL’s operational areas in and off camps. The targeted HHs will receive 150 $ per HH, in line with S/NFI Guidance Note on Winterization. This will meet the increased winter needs with strong protection focus, thus reducing reliance on negative coping strategies. GOAL will target 5,642 unique HHs/28,210 individuals (Men 5,478, Women 8,374, Boys 7,186, and Girls  7,172) located in communities in Armanaz, Kafr Takharim, Harim, Darkosh, and Janudiyeh sub-districts in Idleb. GOAL will target the most vulnerable people who meet the vulnerability criteria.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe response modalities will either involve direct cash disbursements or utilize an e-card system for real-time oversight of cash support to beneficiaries. Two days prior to the distribution process, the cash for winter will be delivered through GOAL's contracted Financial Service Providers (FSPs). GOAL collaborates with FSPs in advance to ensure the availability of cash and assess their capacity.   GOAL’s distribution team confirm distribution details with LCs/ Camp Managers and in consultation with those affected. One day prior to distribution, GOAL teams, consisting of male and female staff, distribute cash receipt forms and reconfirm the details of distribution date and time with beneficiaries. ltspangtIn cases where a beneficiary is unable to attend the distribution points, door-to-door distributions, “home delivery” will be organized for vulnerable individuals such as new widows with movement restrictions, persons with disabilities or older persons with mobility difficulties.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtUnder the IDP site improvement component of this intervention, GOAL will target 13,428 beneficiaries living in 11 camps in Idleb, Maaret Tamsrin, Armanaz, and Dana sub-districts in Idleb. GOAL aims to mitigate flood risks, improving access and ensuring a protected environment.    ltbrgtThe project's preparation phase involves contractor selection, securing local approvals, and conducting detailed site analyses. The implementation phase ensures alignment with Do No Harm principles and focuses on inclusive design for persons with disabilities and older people. Quality checks and verification by GOAL Engineers are integrated to maintain material and construction standards. Details of planned works are included in Annex 01.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe activity objectives will be as follows: ltbrgt	Comprehensive road rehabilitation of 6,500 m of roads in 10 camps and incorporating effective drainage solutions to ensure accessibility and prevent flooding in 4 camps. ltbrgt	Tent Leveling: critical measures to protect IDPs from rainwater seeping into their shelters, posing health risks and financial strain for 1,065 tents in 11 camps.ltbrgt	Installing 225 solar-powered lights to improve safety and access to essential services in 10 camps, addressing gender-based violence (GBV) concerns.ltbrgtGOAL has identified the initial targeted locations for both components in coordination with the S/NFI Cluster, the locations were shared on the SNFI SCHF Template in early October 2023. The locations were also in line with the prioritized locations in the Standard Allocation Document.   ltbrgtlt/pgt
