text-align:justify" class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst"gtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtThis project aims at contributing to effectilt/spangtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtvely
respond to the most urgent needs identified by Cluster SO2, HRP 2023 and the
MOE Response Plan covering emergency rehabilitation, learning support, adapted
education services and assistive devices. This endeavor will also engage in
alleviating the sufferings of the most vulnerable communities living in the
Jericho and southern Nablus areas where human rights violations have been
recently increased at an alarming rate. These areas targeted are classified as
one of the most vulnerable communities affected by conflicted related violence
imposed by the occupation and settlers. The proposed project will provide
immediate emergency support to 8 schools with a total beneficiaries of 2300
female and male children and teachers. The direct objective of this priority
will ensure that schools’ environments are inclusive and safe for children and
teachers. Moreover, 35 female and male children with disability will benefit from
the provision of access education services in addition to assistive devices,
specialized and adaptive learning services. The third pillar of this project
will cover provision of learning support to around 250 vulnerable school aged
female and male children. Based on accumulative experience gained from the
previous OPT HF projects and the 2- current World Bank -funded projects, AFKAR
got a buy-in from the MoE and the local community to lead rehabilitation, IPSS
and remedial services to children including CWD where 224 shadow and assistant
teachers are being employed by AFKAR to serve this end. The establishment of
the joint committee consisted of the General Departments concerned in the MoE
and AFKAR staff has paved the foundation of collaboration and cooperation to
ensure the best delivery of the services. The uniqueness of this project is
clearly acknowledged by the comprehensive response of three main cluster
priority needs identified by the Education Cluster which emphasize on improving
communities’ resilience and enhancing vulnerable households’ access to basic
services in the 8 schools targeted. This will cover the priority objective that
emphasizes the delivery of a child-centered holistic education response to
serve the most vulnerable children in the most vulnerable area in the WB.
Accordingly, this project will be targeting the most acutely vulnerable female
and male children, and in specific vulnerable areas C locations of southern
Nablus and Jericho governorates. The suggested location has little access to
basic social rights, particularly education. The above target groups have
systematically been imposed to certain occupational and settlers’ violations,
restrictions and measures that hindered the primary needs to be directly
delivered by the Palestinian National Authority.lt/spangtltbrgtlt/pgtltp style="margin-left:0inmso-add-space:auto

schools will be categorized into 1. provision of essential and basic
rehabilitation to ensure that school environments are appropriate and safe for
students and teachers ($144,489) 2. Provision of educational services to the
CWD for 35 children ($17,228) .This includes transportation, assistive devices,
activities to address violence and stigmatization and specialized adapted
learning materials and 3. Provision of learning support to vulnerable
school-aged children ($38,165). This will cover three categories of
beneficiaries: who cannot be integrated who can be reintegrated and those are
in schools and need special support. Schools in those areas are in dire need of
resilience improvement, and learning support services as the pervasive and
coercive environment of violence is an all-too-common reality there where
children and school staff are attacked by either the Israeli soldiers or
settlers. That type is decisive to the right to quality education assurance.
The selection of the locations was based on the MoE vulnerability school
matrix, consultation with the MoE EIE emergency staff, and its site visits and
reports from the field.lt/spangtltspan style="mso-bidi-font-size:12.0pt
