Increasing equitable access to water supply and sanitation in Rural Damascus and Dara’a governorates ltpgtOxfam is proposing a 12-month WASH humanitarian response in under-served sub-districts of Maliha, Madaya, Sarghaya, Harasta, and Haran Al'awameed in Rural Damascus and Izra sub-district Daraa governorates. The project will reach approximately 63,800 direct beneficiaries from WASH interventions, contributing to sub- objective 2 of the SHF SA1 2023 Allocation Strategy. The targeted locations fall under the inter-sector severity score (3 and 4)nbsp and winter severity index (3 and 4). The proposed interventions are informed by Oxfam through primary multi-sectoral Rapid Needs Assessment (RNA) conducted by Oxfam between the 24th – 26th of September in five communities through Key Informants Interviews (KIIs) with LWE, DAWSSA, Mukhtar among others.nbsp Findings from the RNA were triangulated with secondary information, coordinationnbsp and consultationsnbsp with the respective WASH Sub-national Coordinator,nbsp I/NGOs, as well as with the Local Water Establishment (LWE), DAWSSA and Head of Municipality’s Sewage department. Under Outcome 1, Oxfam will mitigate the impact of harsh winter conditions by improving water access for 54,500 people through borehole rehabilitation, solarization, network upgrades, and provision of Operation and Maintenance (OM) materials reducing costs of WASH services for HH (Output 1.1) and by rehabilitating sewage connections for 9,300 individuals to prevent water contamination and environmental damage caused by sewage network failures (Output 1.2). By offering support for water access, we enable individuals to reduce their expenditure on water, freeing up resources that can be directed toward crucial winter essentials such as heating, clothing, and other household items that provide protection from the harsh winter weather. Oxfam has an established office (Southern Hub) covering Rural Damascus and Dara’a governorate, and field teams that enable the team to coordinate at both operational and technical level with other humanitarian actors and the LWE and Sewagenbsp Department at municipality level. Oxfamnbsp also has a pool of site engineers who are field based to support the program delivery. Full support teams are at the hubs level and the operations in full are being managed and operated at the hubs level, with support from the Country Office. The teams include Finance, Logs, HR, Admin, and Security. Oxfam will directly implement this response. Proposed interventions were coordinated with other humanitarian actors and discussed with the WASH sub-sector, including the decision of concentrating interventions in one single-sector high impact proposal to increase reach and effectiveness. lt/pgt

Shelter emergency response to earthquakes-affected people in Syria ltpgtlt/pgtltdivgtltpgtltspangtThe devastating earthquakes that occurred in February 2023 have exacerbated the twelve-year Syrian protracted complex humanitarian crisis, increasing the need for life-saving assistance to the Syrian population. 8.8 million people, who have experienced varied degrees of damage, are thought to reside in the Syrian regions that were most severely hit by the earthquakes. SIF will draw on its experience and expertise, to support households who are still living in houses that have been declared "structurally safe" by the authorities, in repairing their homes. Assistance will be provided through community based self-recovery and technical guidance usingnbsp rehabilitation modalities. In addition to protection from the weather, shelter is needed to promote health, support family and community life, and ensure dignity, safety, and access to livelihoods.nbsplt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtlt/divgtltpgtThe rehabilitation of damaged houses through contractor engagement, designed and adapted according to the needs assessed, will cover doors, windows, electrical maintenance, and WASH items. Households will be involved throughout the project cycle: from design to the choice of materials used, to the supervision and control of the work. The intervention will focus on the needs of people with mobility or access obstacles, especially for people with physical impairment and the elderly, while ensuring the safety of children. The rehabilitation will consider cultural norms, knowing that several families may live in the same house, by ensuring a concrete separation between the living area, bedrooms and sanitary facilities. In addition, SIF's engineering teams will identify structural risks and hazards and work accordingly to avoid potential failures in the future. ltbrgtThe proposed intervention will target 174 households, 60 Householdsnbspin Hama Governorate, 58 Householdsnbspin Lattakia Governorate and 56 Householdsnbspin Aleppo Governorate. To ensure maximized protective impact of the proposed project, the response will also mainstream protection to mitigate protection risks, concerns of the target communities, ensure SIF accountability to Affected Population through the implementation of SIFnbspPSEA mechanism, effective, accessible feedback and complaint mechanism and consultations with PiN. Throughout the intervention, SIF will closely follow the Shelter and Non-Food Items (SNFI) Sector and and donor requirements. In particular, the selection of households will be based on SIF pre-set and objective criteria which align with the Sector specifications. SIF is fully committed to SPHERE standards and humanitarian principles based on which SIF internal policies and procedures were developed to guide project implementation. Activities will be implemented in close coordination with the SNFI Sector, the relevant authorities at local and national levels (i.e. line ministries, Head of Municipalities, Mokhtar, SARC), as well as national and international organizations active on the ground to ensure effective response and complementary interventions.? ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtlt/pgt

a comprehensive response, HRP strategic objectives, Shelter and FSA sector
objectives and the Sub-objective 2 of this SHF 1ltsupgtstlt/supgt standard
allocation prioritization, PUI proposes this project aiming at providing
winterization assistance for vulnerable conflict-affected populations in both
Dar’a and Rural Damascus governorates. The proposed integrated approach between
the Shelter and Food Security and Agriculture sectors will help mitigate the
harsh winter effects in multiple ways. To provide better protection from the
cold weather and other environmental elements, thereby reducing the chances of
illness and other health risks, PUI will rehabilitate 140 partially damaged
apartments of vulnerable families in Maliha, Haran Al’a-Awameed and Harasta in
Rural Damascus Governorate, and Kherbet Ghazala and Izr’a in Dar’a Governorate.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltpgtltspangtOn the other hand, supporting
farmers with kits and inputs in the Food Security and Agriculture sector will
improve their ability to produce more food in winter conditions and increase
their ability to store food, which will help the affected population become
more self-reliant and less dependent on external aid.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

ltspangtMoreover, food availability will reduce the
chances of malnutrition, further mitigating the negative effects of winter on
the affected population. Finally, PUI will distribute agriculture kits (equipment)

ltspangtltspangtAccess to accredited education remains a priority for school age children and their families. Annually in May/June with a second round in August the Ministry of Education provides all students with the opportunity to sit for the grade 9 and 12 national certification exams. Participating in exams is open for all, independently of where students live or where or how they have received their education (i.e.lt/spangtlt/spangtltspangtltspangtltspangt,lt/spangtlt/spangtlt/spangtltspangtltspangt education abroad, formal schools, self-study or participating in non-formal education programs). Through this opportunity, children and young people’s learning is being recognized and certified, providing them with options open to continue either education and/or access decent jobs in the future. In line with the Education sector’s commitment to foster the acknowledgment of previous learning through accreditation, certification and examinations, UNICEF and its partners ltspangtwill support children from cross border/crossline areas to sit for the national exams (grades 9 and 12). Through this effort, more children will be able to obtain accreditation and advance to higher level of education. Children coming in from cross line/cross border will be accommodated in the centres/schools identified in coordination with the Ministry of Education (MOE) and Directorates of Education (DOE). UNICEF and partners will provide light rehabilitation including WASH facilities and learning supplies to the centres to accommodate in-coming students and chaperones and companions, and transportation and bursaries to the children. UNICEF’s implementing partners will also provide short-term remedial learning classes to these children to prepare them for the exams.
