Emergency response for earthquake-affected, at-risk communities in Northwest Syria by improving most vulnerable families' ability to cover basic needs and accessing education (Envelop 1 and 3). ltpgtltspan style="font-size: 14px"gtThe 7 months project at hand aims to contribute to a multisector response, focusing on education and MPCA, in the areas either most affected by the EQ or the areas that received a lt/spangthighltspan style="font-size: 14px"gt number of IDPs arriving from earthquake (EQ)-affected areas. Violet seeks to do so through two components:lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt1- Provision of Life-saving assistance for 1000 households (5000 ind 1545 Men, 1210 women, 1175 boys, and 1070 girls) by distributing regular multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA). The MPCAs amount (100 USD) and number of the distribution rounds (5 rounds) were designed based on the CWG guidance, and also to ensure harmonization with other actors implementing similar interventions. Further, the MPCA modality was selected since the cash modality is the most preferred among the beneficiaries, aligns with the market capabilities and also to allows BNFs to secure their needs in a dignified and flexible way.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project will target both the IDPs and HC members who have been affected by the EQ, displaced to the project areas and inhabiting the IDPs camps or non-completed buildings, and those who don't have access to general food assistance. A special focus will be given to women-headed households (HHs), HHs with children (boys and girls), elderlies, PWD, pregnant, and lactating women.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe MPACs will be distributed to the BNFs through contracted Financial Service Providers as VO has two existing active framework agreements with FSPs. Accordingly, VO confirms its readiness to immediately start the implementation once the GA is signed and as it has been achieved during previous projects. Before distribution, a rapid need and market assessment will be conducted to verify targeted households and market availability of the items, the prices, and the accessibility. This will support Violet in ensuring the markets are functioning and all BNFs from different community groups and abilities have good and equal access to markets.ltbrgtWhile the MPCA aims to support the targeted households to meet a variety of basic needs and reducing reliance on negative coping strategies, it effectively contributes to market recovery through disposing of cash in the market and may create new job opportunities. VO through this project will build on the existing response and apply a complementarity approach to other existing projects, which will enable VO to scale up its response and target different groups with the proper modalitylt/pgtltpgtltbrgt2- Under EDU Component: Improve the access for EQ-affected children, both girls and boys, in Northwest Syria to relevant learning in equitable, safe, and protective learning environments, combined with CP and MHPSS services to contribute to their physical and psychosocial well-being and trauma management. Violet will 1) Repair, minor rehabilitate, and equip 38 schools (55 Shifts) with furniture in earthquake-affected areas for safe reopening for 17,415 students (8471 Girls, 349 CWDs 170 Girls). 2) 2,871 children (1,457 girls, 43 CWDs (16 girls)) accessed non-formal education in 9 schools (14 Shifts) addressing cross-cutting issues integrated with MHPSS, cash for education, and building the capacity of earthquake-affected 160 school personnel, 2,871 students, and 9 communities. The project will positively impact the life of the people (Girls, boys, women, and men) affected by the earthquake in Northwest Syria to ensure their recovery to a normalised life through accessing consistent opportunities for teaching and learning, and development that contribute to their psychosocial, learning and wellbeing through integrating many activities (school rehabilitation, cash for education, CP and MHPSS, inclusion, train teachers, students, community members, support schools, outreach)  to school platform to ensure a comprehensive response to alleviate the negative impacts of the earthquake by reaching out to boys, girls, men and women.  lt/pgt
