Sub-objective 2: Mitigating the impact of winter conditions in underserved areas through a multisectoral approach in Syria ltpgtIn line with 2022-2023 HRPs, this project will directly contribute to Sub Objective 2 of this Allocation by delivering winter related humanitarian assistance in areas with demonstrated high needs and low response coverage. This Action aims at mitigating the impact of winter conditions in underserved areas by bridging a multisectoral approach to early recovery in areas of high needs.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgt The proposed response is based on TGH 5-year experience in implementing ECHO, OCHA and SDC funded multisectoral projects in Syria. The targeted locations are part of the prioritized sub districts for this Allocation with high severity scores. In Aug-Sept 2023, TGH conducted field assessments and coordinated with municipalities, SARC, DoE/DoW and other NGOs. Thus, TGH will intervene in 4 locations with an integrated WASH-Education-CP approach in Anjara and Hoteh in Daret Azza sub district (Aleppo gov) as well as Moraba and Busra Esh-Sham in Busra Esh-Sham sub district (Dar’a gov).ltbrgtltbrgt The final objective of the proposed action is to Enhance the resilience of vulnerable communities to winter conditions in underserved areas through integrated education, protection and WASH services. Multisectoral activities will serve the same beneficiaries at locality level, reaching 27,850 individuals (without double counting), including 27,850 community members benefiting from WASH rehabilitations, 2,008 through Education (240 caregivers, 58 teachers, 1,698 children in formal education and 54 OOSC and 8 community members) and 1,126 through Protection – CP (240 caregivers, 58 teachers, 820 children in non formal education and 54 OOSC and 8 community members).ltbgtltspangtlt/spangtlt/bgtlt/pgtltpgtCommunities long-term WASH needs will be addressed through two-fold activities by a) rehabilitating water and sanitation systems and b) rehabilitating damaged schools including WASH facilities and focusing on winterization needs. Access to basic WASH services will be sustained through the installation of Solar panels where possible as well as capacity building of the water authorities in charge of maintaining them. School personnel and children will be encouraged to correctly use the rehabilitated WASH facilities through hygiene promotion sessions, supported by hygiene items distribution.lt/pgtltpgtOnce schools are rehabilitated, children from the same communities will have increased and sustained access to basic quality education services by addressing the specific needs of the most vulnerable OOSC and children at risk of dropping out from formal education. TGH will ensure the education quality by building capacities of teachers on education methods and SEL, and by providing non-formal education (NFE) activities. This will include remedial, catch up and Self Learning Program (SLP) classes.ltbrgtltbrgt Children and teachers’ resilience will be strengthened by mitigating financial barriers to education and winter preparedness through the provision of specific stationeries for NFE sessions. TGH will support teachers by the provision of teaching material and provision of cash for transportation to teachers from remote areas. Crossline students will be supported to take national exams through the provision of hygiene and dignity kits. Community resilience and engagement will be reinforced through Community-Based volunteers and parents inclusion and awareness.ltbrgtltbrgtWithin the Protection sector (CP AOR), TGH will provide Psychosocial support (PSS) including risk education and recreational activities to students. Teachers will be trained on these topics while campaign awareness will be given to parents. A specific focus will be made on supporting children with disabilities, early married girls and child labor cases. In these high needs areas lacking specialized services, case management and referrals will be provided as part of Child Protection mainstreaming.ltbrgtltbrgt Finally, the Action will be complemented with other interventions (from TGH and other partners) in surrounding locations based on coordination with local and international partners.
