In line with shelter sector recommendations, DRC has adapted its Emergency
Preparedness and Response Plan (EPRP) and aims toltbgt Provide timely life-saving multi-sectoral assistance to people
affected by the earthquakelt/bgt, ensuring core capacity to respond to new
displacement and humanitarian crises through the rehabilitation of one
collective shelter at Tal Az Zarazir sub-district benefiting 260 benefecaieris ( 143 females, 117 males). . Shelter rehabilitation will improve
access to basic Shelter and WASH services in order to protect the crisis-affected
population from harsh weather conditions. This will also serve to increase
privacy and in doing so improve the protection environment to meet basic protection
standards and maintain the privacy and dignity of separate households with
consideration of the varying needs and preferences of different ages, sex, and disability
groups, inclusive of a child-friendly space. lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="margin-bottom:9.95pt" class="MsoNormal"gtltfont color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"gtThrough this
intervention, DRC aims to permit at-risk households to attain adequate
levels of safety, security, privacy, and protection from the elements in the
aftermath of residential building damage resulting from earthquakes. DRC
will lt/fontgtltb style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtProvide life-sustaining
shelter support to people whose houses have been damaged by the earthquakelt/bgtltfont color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"gt in a total of lt/fontgt672 Households (370 females, 302 males) targeting a total of 3360 beneficiaries ( 1848 females, 1512 males)ltfont color="#000000" face="Arial, sans-serif"gt of  5 individuals average size of each family. This will be achieved through the provision of cash
assistance to at-risk, earthquake-affected households for minor repairs of
their partially damaged houses at buildings that have experienced minor
damage from the earthquake and have been cleared by authorities (through rapid
damage assessments) as ‘structurally safe’ and therefore suitable for rehabilitation.
I) DRC will identify households who are not displaced yet residing in
minor/ moderate damaged buildings and considered lt/fontgtlta style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gteligible for minor repair assistancelt/agtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gt II) DRC will engage households to determine what interventions
the household can undertake (either directly or through local tradesmen) to meet
the activity objectives III) DRC will deliver cash assistance to eligible
households and communicate the intention of this cash.lt/spangtltspan class="MsoCommentReference"gtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtDRC is well positioned to implement this project and is strategically
positioned to begin activities given DRC’s ongoing access to and presence in
the target location. DRC is already coordinating with the local authorities as
well as SARC to begin activities, ensuring that project activities will begin immediately,
reflective of the emergency nature of the response. All required approvals and
evidence of needs will be secured from MoLA and SARC, thereby allowing DRC to
intervene in these locations. Linkages and synergies with complementary actions
conducted by DRC will be in-built to ensure a comprehensive and effective
response.lt/spangtlt/pgtltdiv style="" class=""gtltdiv style="mso-element:comment"gtltdiv class="msocomtxt" id="_com_2"gt
