The emergency response for the most of earthquake affected population in Northwest Syria through providing food assistance support. ltpgtltbrgt


lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family:"gtWATAN will utilize the fund to providing the
irreplaceable food items needed by distributing the food vouchers, which will
contribute to supply these items for the people who have been deeply affected
with the earthquake in the targeted locations in Aleppo.ltbrgt
WATAN which work to assure food assistance through monthly cash vouchers to
extremely vulnerable households who have been affected with the earthquake which
struck the northwestern Syria areas in 6th of February, 2023 where
we will target several communities in northern Aleppo which considered the most
affected areas according to the need assessment that conducted by WATAN during
the past week, those areas are, Azaz, and Afrin.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt

lt/pgtltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family:"gt2060 households who considered the most affected
people with the earthquake from the host communities and the IDPs (About 12198 individuals) will be targeted through this project. Each monthly voucher is
worth US$ 65 and can be exchanged for food items in selected local shops. The
implementation plan is based on the distribution of monthly E-vouchers to
beneficiary families so that each family will benefit from three consecutive
months of vouchers program.ltbrgt
For the 2060 targeted families, the vouchers mean guaranteed access to food
every month. Beyond that, the project also gives them the chance to choose
which foods will best meet their families’ needs.ltbrgt
For local sellers, the vouchers are creating hundreds of new customers, most of
whom previously had difficulties affording to buy food in their shops.ltbrgt
WATAN has developed a strong plan for the implementation, monitoring and
evaluation of this program will start by pre-assessment of the target
population aims to collect a quantitative data focused on project indicators
(measuring all project indicators prior to intervention) and that will tack a
place in the first month of the implementation.lt/spangtltspan style="font-family:"gtIn the
next phase, WATAN will select the beneficiaries of the program and the
participating sellers as well also we will do verification of the selected
beneficiaries. We will use clear and logical selection criteria in partnership
and cooperation with the community (Through focus groups discussion that will
be held) in order to ensure that all families understand why some were selected
and why some other families were not eligible. We will use a separate team to
verify the extent to beneficiaries meet criteria to ensure transparency and
objectivity in selection. The priority will be to target at-risk groups from
the host communities and the people who are homeless and living in reception
centers as they are the more affected category. The priority will be given also
to the families (Women-headed households) and GBV survivors to protect them
from the adoption of negative coping mechanisms, as well as from other
exploitative and unsafe situations, such as prostitution, transactional sex,
early pregnancy, enlistment into armed groups, early/forced/child marriage.ltbrgt
Criteria for selecting Sellers:ltbrgt
1. Seller's ability to re-supply goodsltbrgt
2. The diversity of goods in the marketltbrgt
3. The accessibility of beneficiaries to the marketltbrgt
4. Number of days and hours workingltbrgt
5. The reputation of the seller in the regionltbrgt
6. Fees or commissions payable by the Organization if anyltbrgt
7. Cooperation with the organization and the seller's willingness to accept the
terms and conditions of the paymentsltbrgt
Also, within the first month of the project, we will conduct the sealers
capacity assessment include the frequency of re-supply of goods focusing on the
goods to distribute, the availability of a warehouse close to the shop,
notes by the team on the seller's skills in dealing with customers as well as
the number of customers who came during the evaluation period, reputation and
seller's interest in participating in the program and finally the financial
capacity of the seller. Furthermore, we will update the assessment of prices. lt/spangtIn this project, we will use unconditional
vouchers (Food for a fixed monetary value (value-based vouchers).ltspan style="font-family:"gtltbr style="mso-special-character:line-break"gtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgt
