Rehabilitation and Construction of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure in rural Zimbabwe Zimbabwe is on the path of recovery and transition. However where millions of people remain without access to a regular supply of safe water and sanitation, the risk of renewed outbreaks of water prone diseases is high and a real threat to both public health and development.

ACF Early Recovery Livelihoods The protracted conflict in Syria has led to massive humanitarian needs. The crisis is expected to deepen further as state structures continue to erode and collapse. Humanitarian needs are therefore complex: The response requires both, urgent life-saving assistance and programmatic efforts to strengthen the resilience of communities so they can maintain services and infrastructures through Systems of selfhelp. The proposed intervention in the area of food-security thus combines both types of response: lt strives to address the immediate needs of vulnerable individual beneficiaries, therefore reducing the overall vulnerability of the war-affected population. And it strengthens the resilience of communities to withstand the ill-effects of the conflict through support to community-based agricultural activities. The projects main geographic reach is to the Damascus, Rural Damascus, and Aleppo governorates. Special resilience building efferts will moreover focus on the outlying Hassakeh and Dara‘a governorates.
