Phase II - Promote safe access to housing in Harasta city, Rural Damascus Like other neighborhoods in Harasta, Hadaeq neighborhood has been exposed to high level of damage to buildings and infrastructure, in particular the network of tunnels dug underground jeopardizes the stability of buildings above them and cause life-threating risks. In the last 2 years, the city of Harasta has witnessed a relatively significant return originating mainly from neighboring communities such as Al-Tal and Damascus. Many returnees weren’t able to return to their original houses and forced instead to head towards less damaged parts of the city. They currently live in rented houses or are hosted by friends and relatives. Meanwhile, badly damaged neighborhoods, like Hadaeq, remain largely vacant, return is practically blocked and recovery is standstill until basic services are resumed and residential buildings are secured from life-threatening risks.
In the last quarter of 2020, OCHA generously agreed to fund a project to support the affected population in Harasta city through the proposal submitted by UN-Habitat to fill in parts of tunnels that pose a threat to residential buildings and to remove rubble from some streets in Hadaeq neighborhood.
Despite the delay in obtaining official approvals for its implementation, the project is now ongoing and is expected to be completed within a slight delay in the original timeframe.
In a recent field visit, during which communications took place with the local community and the municipality, UN-Habitat team has observed an urgent need in this neighborhood to extend the scope of intervention to complement the work being done now with the aim of achieving the original objective in promoting safe access to housing in Hadaeq neighborhood.
Therefore, UN-habitat is proposing a complementarity of the first phase with activities serving the same objective. When the proposed project is completed, accessibility to the targeted neighborhood will be improved significantly leading its original residents to return and rehabilitate their houses and shops.
The proposed intervention therefore includes the following:
 Removal of 33,000 cubic meters of rubbles and debris from streets and in front of residential buildings, (the tunnels underneath most of them were targeted in the first phase of this intervention) into the official dumpsites.
 Removal of 350 cubic meters of life-threatening building parts, hanging and falling parts from damaged buildings in coordination with the municipality, the neighborhood’s committee and the  houses owners.
 Cleaning and rehabilitation of common spaces in 25 buildings including the entrance, stairs, staircase, etc. to secure accessibility to apartments
 Support affected families with HLP services whenever needed, including advocacy to the rightsholders on obtaining replacements for lost documents, securing rightsholders consent on activities within their respective buildings and provision and installation of a Social Tenure Domain Model system with the necessary training and support.
Enabling the continuity of safe education for students during winter in Rural Damascus, Homs, and Aleppo Governorates. In alignment with PUI strategy, HRP strategic objectives, Education sector objectives and SHF 2nd reserve allocation prioritization, PUI proposes this project which aims at enabling the continuity of education during harsh winter weather conditions for the most in need communities in Zarbah area in Aleppo governorate, Tadmor city in Homs governorate and Deir Maker– Sa'sa' in Rural Damascus governorate. Under this project, PUI will conduct light rehabilitation/WASH maintenance of 3 schools in Homs, Aleppo, and Rural Damascus in order to ensure safe, protective learning environment in locations of harsh weather conditions. Also, PUI will complement the light rehabilitation works by providing schools with teaching and learning materials (including stationary, illustrations, and recreational and sport items) as well as providing the students with supplies (including stationery and notebooks) in order to improve the quality of educational process. Furthermore, in light of the COVID-19 pandemic, PUI will conduct trainings/orientation on necessary safety COVID-19 precaution measures for school principals, parents, communities, teachers and students. Besides, PUI will provide the schools with cleaning materials and the students with personal protective equipment (including masks, towel, liquid Soap, and tissues) to ensure taking the complete precaution against the spread of COVID-19 infection.
Urgent support to sewage and improvement of hygiene services for the vulnerable households and communities in Abu Kamal, Deir ez-Zor governorate. The objectives of the proposed project are to provide immediate basic WASH services to people at risk within the highly vulnerable community of Abu Kamal/ Deir ez-Zor governorate. This project is considering the highly anticipated IDP returns to this area, the area is still witnessing a steady number of returnees, but they are facing massive difficulties in resettling back into their community, due to the large-scale destruction caused by the conflict. The water networks in general (potable water and sewage wastewater canals) in the area of intervention, are heavily damaged and according to our assessment sewage wastewater and potable water are mixing with each other, within the network system. This current WASH situation exacerbates the spread of diseases and the health situation in general and it is just a matter of time before the impact becomes uncontrollable, without rapid intervention. In the area of Abu Kamal, most of the sewage system is either partially damaged or needs replacing in all districts. This urgent need will be addressed by providing minor rehabilitation for the full sewage network within the city and provide all neighbourhoods with a functional sewage network system. The overall target is to provide the affected host and returnee community with basic WASH services and to reduce the outbreaks of possible diseases caused by the currently leaking sewage network system.
Integrated reproductive health in the primary health care services in the most affected vulnerable locations in   Hassakeh Governorate The project focuses on addressing the increased need of health services including Reproductive Health (RH ) for the crisis affected people in the selected locations in Hassakeh governorate through the provision and supply of life saving RH services. The project key activities include procurement of essential and lifesaving medicine and equipment , operationalize outreach facility including mobile teams to deliver integrated SRH/GBV services in Hassakeh governorate specifically Rural areas (including, Tal-Tamer, Al-Hol, Jazaa, Yaroubia, and its sub districts and the newly accessible areas 
The project will implemented in cooperation and coordination with UN agencies including WHO and UNICEF and local NGOs including Syria Al Yamama association in Hassakeh  and other supported NGOs to ensure lifesaving support to all targeted women and girls in reproductive age and seeks to promote the overall wellbeing and self-reliance of pregnant women through complementarity with GBV proposal under the same allocation of SHF fund.
Winterization Recovery Assistance for People in need (WRAP) The Winterization Recovery Assistance for People in need (WRAP) project will target 2,832 HHs consisting of approximately 14,160 individuals   (2,125 men, 4,249 women, 3,895 boys, 3,891 girls, including young children, children, adolescents, young adults, middle-aged adults and older adults, from which approximately 2,125 will have a disability) with winterization assistance. A voucher methodology will be used to provide the necessary items to protect households from the cold winter months in the governorates of Rural Homs and Idlib. Vouchers will be redeemable for a variety of items recommended by the NFI sector including winter clothing, winter jackets (males and females), fleece blankets, plastic sheets and boots. Vouchers will be redeemed from local vendors who will be selected based on availability of items, quality, cost, accessibility and located close to the targeted population.

Targeted areas in Idlib are Tama’anah with total severity score 3 and winter severity index of 5, and Khan Sheikhoun which was identified through field visits and has a severity score of 3 and is located next to Tama’anah. In both these locations, ADRA has an active presence through the ongoing distribution of water tanks and is well placed to provide the required assistance. 

In Rural Homs, the WRAP project will prioritize Al Qaryaten (with an overall severity score of 4 and a winter severity index of 6) as well as Mahin (with a total severity score of 4 and a winter severity index of 5). 

ADRA has access to the targeted areas through other interventions including:
- Qaryaten: Livelihood activities and school rehabilitation.
- Mahin: Health center rehabilitation and water tank distribution.

Beneficiaries will be selected based on vulnerability assessment prioritizing Female Headed Households (FHHs), people with disabilities (PwDs), elderly people and people with health concerns. 

Coordination has taken place with Shelter/NFI sector office in Damascus and sub-sector office in Homs governorate, assuring no overlap with partner’s interventions and ensuring that proposed locations are identified as a priority. ADRA also coordinated with SARC, who were present during needs assessment field visits to the targeted areas, and with key persons in areas including potential beneficiaries and local authorities.

ADRA is currently working in the targeted locations and has experience in both the NFI sector providing winter clothes and blankets in Hama and Rural Damascus in the initial stages of the crisis and has significant experience in the establishment and implementation of a voucher system, providing food vouchers to over 10,000 HHs for 8 months in Homs and Rural Damascus in 2020/21 as well as ongoing programming in Homs for 658 HHs. The project is included in the HRP under code HSYR20-SHL-179193-1.
Enhancing the provision of winter clothing to the most vulnerable social groups in Aleppo and its countryside During the Syrian crisis this year is considered to be the most difficult economic conditions that the country is experiencing, especially with the spread of the Corona pandemic (COVID-19), people suffer from a severe need for many of the basic necessities of life, and with the approaching of winter the family’s needs increased, such as: winter clothes, blankets, fuel for heating etc....., those needs have become a huge heavy burden on the population especially in the countryside, where the people are new returnees and they don't have enough clothes and blankets for the winter.
Vulnerable families stayed in partially damaged houses are more endanger to winter conditions and these houses often provide little protection from chilly cold weather.
Our staff has become a qualified and has excellent experience in dealing with SHF, through a number of projects,  and in the way of work, communication, implementation mechanisms, and reporting.
Where we implemented a number of projects with SHF, in the last one the number of beneficiaries reached about 30000, that is, we have a good ability to implement projects in an excellent manner and in accordance with legal principles.

This project aims to distribution of essential and critical winter and core NFIs through vouchers kind to approximately (4000) beneficiaries

Mechanism of Action:
During the first month of the project, detailed assessment of the actual needs (of the rural population, as most of the beneficiaries in the eastern areas of the city have been evaluated by the charity) will be carried out, as the Social Evaluation Committee consists of four persons (each two as a team) who will conduct the assessment and determine the need through one month based on conditions and criteria that will be adopted in order to provide the services.
In order to provide services as quickly as possible, the charity has a large number of people registered at the eastern areas of the city, their social status has been studied, and they are: widows, orphans and people with special needs, who are among the most vulnerable social groups.

Then, based on the evaluation, the beneficiaries will be divided into three segments (men, women and children “boys amp girls”), each segment will have a special kit that includes some winter clothes suitable for it.
The vouchers method will be used, which will be distributed to the beneficiaries (each one according to his segment) to receive clothes from suppliers.
Of course the cash vouchers will be strictly defined in terms of the type of cloths, number, place of suppliers, etc... and will be distributed according to 3 kits (detailed in the budget category), Note that the contents of each clothing kit have been selected according to priorities of 	2nd Reserve Allocation 2021.
The beneficiaries who received the  cash voucher will be visited to get their feedback by the evaluation committees in March and April.
Comprehensive provision of adequate lifesaving and life sustaining shelter assistance to vulnerable Returnees, IDPs and Host Community in Rural Aleppo and Rural Daraa. The crises in Syria have resulted in heavy damage to housing and related public infrastructure which has added to the vulnerability of affected population, including in terms of protection risks faced. Through the proposed intervention, Secours Islamique France (SIF) will provide lifesaving and life sustaining shelter assistance in a dignified and accessible way. This project will contribute to facilitate return, reintegration and alleviation of suffering of the affected population by creating suitable and safe living conditions for vulnerable communities.

SIF will directly contribute to the Shelter Sector’s objectives in Syria, the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2021 strategical objectives and the SHF 1st allocation 2021 priorities by supporting the sustainable rehabilitation of damaged houses and related public infrastructure for the most vulnerable and affected population in Shakra Izra (Rural Dara’a) and Jabel Saman (Hader, Rural Aleppo). These localities were selected based on their level of accessibility and the severity of needs as per the 2021 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) Syria and SIF’s ﬁeld assessments conducted in June 2021. Both sub-districts fall under the SHF 1st Standard Allocation 2021 priority locations selection with a severity scale of 3 according to the 2021 HNO Syria. Indeed, there are important needs for shelter assistance in both localities as many houses are severely damaged with a high number of vulnerable refugee population living in dire conditions along with community public infrastructure like streetlights, sewage networks and water pipeline in urgent need of repair. 

After a comprehensive needs assessment, consultations with the local community, related authorities and taking into account the sector priorities, SIF’s proposed intervention will contribute to enhance the resilience of affected communities by improving housing and related public infrastructure for vulnerable population through:

1) Rehabilitation of Damaged Houses for a total of 140 households (in Hader sub-district, Aleppo and in Izra sub-district (Shakra community),  Dara’a 
2) Rehabilitation of 600 L.M Sewage pipes (in Hader, Rural Aleppo) 
3) Rehabilitation of 1500 L.M Water Pipeline (in Izra sub-district (Shakra Community), Rural Dara’a and 
4) Installation and provision of 103 solar street lighting (in Hader sub-district, Aleppo and in Izra sub-district (Shakra community),  Dara’a.

The proposed intervention and will target 8,175 PiN.

Throughout the intervention, SIF will closely follow the Shelter and WASH Sector minimum standard guidelines and donor requirements. SIF is fully committed to the SPHERE standards and humanitarian principles based on which SIF’s internal policies and procedures have been created to guide project implementation. SIF will capitalize on its extensive experience in implementing Shelter and WASH projects in the targeted locations and as implementing partner with SHF.

Improving access to WASH infrastructure and services in underserved
communities The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has provided timely and appropriate assistance and protection to vulnerable affected populations in Syria since 2015. This proposed intervention and NRC’s broader country strategy for Syria is in accordance with the inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP), and NRC’s activities are harmonized with the relevant minimum standards. Since its registration with the GoSAR in Damascus, NRC has been advocating for greater, unimpeded access and operational space. NRC has Memoranda of Understanding with relevant line ministries and its national partner Syria Trust for Development, and has three field offices. One in Damascus covering Rural Damascus, Dar’a, and Quneitra, one in Aleppo covering Aleppo city and Rural Aleppo, and northern rural Hama, and one in Qamishli covering the north-east of Syria where NRC is one of the few INGOs operating. NRC currently has 188 national staff and 10 international staff 50.5% of which are female. 

Under the first SHF standard allocation of 2021, NRC proposes the implementation of project activities, covering the period from the 1st of August 2021 to 31st of July 2022, with a focus on the delivery of WASH assistance in selected locations within the governorates of Hama, Dara’a, and Hassakeh.  Activities include the light rehabilitation of boreholes in Hama, Dara’a and Hassakeh complimented with the solar systems to mitigate the impact of the blackouts and increase access to the water in Dar'a and Hassakeh and a 140 KVA generator in Hama. In northern rural Hama and rural Dar’a, light rehabilitation of sewer networks will be provided to prevent the leaking of raw sewerage in the communities. NRC will also provide support to solid waste management in Hama, aimed at improving public health and dignity. Training on water treatment will compliment the borehole rehabilitation in Hama. NRC will also compliment the waste management support with hygiene promotion activities including awareness sessions and the establishment of committees to ensure follow up on the agreed mechanism of waste management at neighbourhood level.
