Support for the 2023 MSNA in Northwest Syria (REACH Initiative - Envelope 1) ltp style="" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtNorthwest Syria is facing a
multi-faceted crisis in a highly volatile context, characterized by continued
displacement, weakened basic services due to the ongoing conflict, and an
economic crisis that unfolded following rapid currency depreciation and rising
prices (OCHA, 2022). The already dire humanitarian situation has been further
exacerbated by the powerful earthquakes that have stuck the region in early
2023. lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltp style="margin-bottom: 9.95pt" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtTo meet the evolving
information needs of humanitarian actors, REACH, in collaboration with OCHA
proposes support the Multi-Sector Needs Assessment in Northwest Syria, in order
to inform the 2024 Humanitarian Needs Overview and the Humanitarian Response
Plan. The data collection will consist of a multi-sectoral quantitative
household survey across Northwest Syria, and is expected to encompass key
clusters including WASH, Health, Shelter and Non-Food Items, Protection, Food
Security, Livelihoods, Education as well as other cross-cutting issues,
including AAP, Inter-sector and Gender. The MSNA will provide data that will
fulfill Core Commitment 5 of the Grand Bargain through the conduct of a joint,
impartial, and collaborative needs assessment.lt/spangtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="" lang="EN-US"gtREACH was formed in 2010 as a joint initiative of
Acted, its global partner IMPACT Initiatives, and UNOSAT, in order to promote
and facilitate the development of information products that enhance the
humanitarian community’s decision-making and planning capacity. IMPACT is the
programmatic lead of the initiative, in charge of all strategic and
programmatic oversight, the HR management of REACH international staff as well
as of dissemination and external relations at the global level for REACH. As
sister organizations and global partners, IMPACT and Acted coordinate on field
implementation. In all field operations of IMPACT/REACH programs, Acted
provides operational support. A global MoU between the two organizations
governs this partnership, with specific financial reporting requirements and
internal reporting deadlines to be agreed and formalized through a project specific
agreement. For the proposed action Acted will be the grant holder and will
therefore proceed with signing a sub-agreement with IMPACT following signature
of the contract between Acted and OCHA.lt/spangtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black" lang="EN-US"gt lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt
