Envelope 2: Shelter and Non-Food Items (NFI) Emergency Assistance to Vulnerable Populations in Northwest Syria ltp class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtThis project aims to preposition core relief
items to support resilience in line with the UN business continuity plan
outlined in Syria Cross-border Humanitarian Fund 2023 Third Reserve Allocation
Strategy - Shelter and Non-Food Items (S-NFI) Cluster for Northwest Syria
(NWS). Through this project, IOM will procure emergency shelters (tents) and
NFIs to respond to emergencies and sudden displacement, and massive influxes.

ltp class="MsoNormal" style="text-align:justify"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtThis project focuses on contingency stock
replenishment for emergency shelter and NFI assistance. As with other
pre-positioning projects, IOM will procure 1,000 family tents and 1,334 NFI
kits and store these across multiple warehouses in NWS to respond to emergencies
throughout the project period. Depending on the needs on the ground, the items may
be pre-positioned at Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) Implementing Partners
(IPs)’ warehouses – or alternatively, at IOM’s three warehouses inside Syria. Should
sudden shocks and urgent humanitarian needs occur during the project period,
IOM and partners may distribute these tents and NFI kits to beneficiaries,
based on identified needs. The RRM is IOM’s flagship instrument for delivering
emergency shelter and NFI assistance to displaced populations in NWS.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtAs
the procured goods will respond to emerging humanitarian needs in NWS,
locations, targets, and beneficiary disaggregation included in this proposal
are to be considered subject to revision based on developments in the operating
environment in NWS, in close consultation with the SNFI Cluster and the Syria
Cross-Border Humanitarian Fund (SCHF). Before the end of the project, IOM will
consult with the SCHF to agree on a way forward regarding remaining
pre-positioned items, if any. Through this intervention, IOM intends to reach 6,670
individuals (1,334 men, 1,334 women, 2,001 boys, 2,001 girls) in both Idleb and
Aleppo governorates (exact locations/subdistricts to be determined based on emerging
needs, displacement movements, and last destination of arrivals). To ensure
smooth implementation, IOM will rapidly engage existing RRM partners and initiate
procurement of relief items, enabling quick interventions in case needs arise.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtAll goods and relief items procured and transshipped
by IOM will be subject to IOM’s internal Commodity Tracking System (CTS), a
system that comprehensively tracks all IOM-procured goods via scanned QR-codes
from procurement to distribution. Through IOM’s accountability to affected populations
(AAP) mechanisms, this project will prioritize transparency and accountability
to vulnerable beneficiaries. To mitigate GBV risks, IOM
will ensure that information provision and feedback mechanisms are designed to
be accessible, effective, and confidential.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtltbrgt


lt/spangtlt/pgtltp style="margin-bottom:9.95pt" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan class="msoIns" style=""gtIOM’s protection team will be consulted throughout
the lifespan of the project to support partners and staff to adhere to protection
and gender mainstreaming principles, including training of all staff in safe
identification and referral (SIR) and appropriate handling of disclosure of GBV
incidents. Rlt/spangtltspan class="msoIns" style="font-size: 14px"gteferral pathways will be put in place
so that sub-IP staff refer any identified protection concerns directly to
protection partners working in the target areas. lt/spangtltspan class="msoIns" style="font-size: 14px"gtAll
partner organizations and field staff will be linked up with existing referral
pathways for specialized and non-specialized protection services, including IOM’s
protection services in the target areas.lt/spangtltspan class="msoIns" style="font-size: 14px"gt Moreover, all
beneficiaries will be sensitized on their right to equitable and safe assistance,
and the reporting mechanisms for PSEA. All distributions modalities will abide
by recommendations shared by the PSEA network.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gt
