Achieving Community Change through education, support and sustainability (sub objective 2) - ACCESS ltpgtltspangtThe ACCESS project targets a total
of 97,660 individuals (21,490 girls, 27,160 women, 21,850 boys and 27,160 men)
through multi-sectorial interventions designed to mitigate against harsh winter
conditions through sustainable and resiliency focused approaches. Two sectors
were prioritized based on the needs identified in assessments of the potential
locations education and WASH. Many planned interventions overlap in the same
geographic areas and thus the total number of beneficiaries under each sector do not equal the total number of beneficiarieslt/spangtltspangt.     lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgt

ltpgtEducation activities will ensure
the protection of 2,060 vulnerable children (including 650 girls and 1,410 boys)
and their teachers, against winter conditions through school
rehabilitation (provision of doors, windows, heaters, and rehabilitation of disability
accessible and segregated WASH facilities) and NFE to enable the
return to and retention in formal education. Beneficiaries were calculated through existing and anticipated children in the schools. The number of boys is higher
than girls as 2 of the 3 targeted schools are non functional boys’
schools.
However, a larger number of girls will indirectly benefit as the opening of the
boys’ high school in Tabni will enable the only functional high school to be
segregated, encouraging girls who were previously unwilling to attend due to
cultural reasons to return. The interventions will
also reduce the current number of children per classroom in existing schools. lt/pgt

ltpgtWASH interventions will result
in approximately 97,000 vulnerable individuals having access to greater amount of water,
thus reducing the need for water trucking and save money for the purchase of much-needed winter and other items. This will be achieved through a variety of interventions (including network, high
tank and borehole rehabilitation, as well as the provision of pumps and solar
systems) based on the individual assessed needs of each community. Beneficiaries were calculated from population estimates from local sources.

was prioritized and will continue through the life of the project as outlined
below.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltugtMelihalt/ugt: The area does not have a functional boy’s high
school and thus boys in the area travel long distances to
access education or drop out of school. ADRA’s intervention (school
rehab and NFE) will complement other organization interventions in the same area
including the referral of vulnerable households to food security, livelihood,
vocational training, and protection services. See section 17.1 for more
details. lt/pgt

ltpgtIn Shabaa (Meliha), ADRA will rehabilitate the water network, while other
organizations are planning on borehole rehabilitation and provision of solar
systems. Taken together, or separately, this will result in greater access to
water for the targeted population. lt/pgt

ltpgt lt/pgt

ltpgtHaran Al'awameed (Jdeidat al Khas): ADRA will rehabilitate and provide a
solar system to two boreholes to increase access to drinking water. Other
organizations are planning food security, livelihood and shelter interventions
in the same sub-district. lt/pgt

ltpgt lt/pgt

ltpgtTabni: ADRA is planning on working in both WASH and education
sectors in Tabni due to the high needs and limited other partners. ADRA will
provide an additional pump to the water pumping station increasing the volume
of water in the network, while in the same location rehabilitate two schools,
one currently not functional and implement NFE activities. Other partners are planning
on working in other areas of Tabni. lt/pgt

ltpgt lt/pgt

ltpgtAll planned activities have been
coordinated through the relevant sectors and sub-sectors of which ADRA are
active members. ADRA can immediately implement through existing MoUs with MoE and MoWR which are aware of the project plans.  lt/pgt

ltpgt lt/pgt

ltpgtADRA has over 8 years of experience
in both the education and WASH sectors including the targeted governorates and
has uninterrupted access to all targeted areas.  lt/pgt
