Envelop1: Provide lifesaving and life‐sustaining comprehensive services to affected population through provision of integrated WASH services It is no secret that the humanitarian situation in NW Syria is extremely dangerous and complicated. Even as the conflict approaches its 13th year, people continue to suffer from inflation, lack of resources and fragility or lack of infrastructure. With the AWD/cholera and COVID-19 pandemic, economic crisis and ongoing hostilities, the number of people relying on humanitarian aid to address survival and basic needs is increasing.

Due to the costly and short-term water supply in NW Syria and to reinforce the most urgent life-saving interventions, Amal aims to enhance access to affected populations to WASH services. This intervention targets both host communities and IDPs in Jisr-Ash-Shugur and Ariha sub-district which are considered high severity, prioritized and underserved areas that are facing multiple challenges in light of hostilities, strain from years of functioning at high capacity due to the growing demand, limited or no maintenance, continuous drain of technical staff and poor water resource management, exaggerated by cascade effects of climate change. Thus, the planned intervention will respond to the needs of 15,483 individuals (10,767 residents and 4,716 IDPs) divided to (2,942 men, 3,251 women, 4,490 boys and 4,800 girls) including (310 PWDs) through 5 intervention as the follows:

1) Provide sustainable WASH infrastructures in Al Areen-Kastanah Fawqan community through the rehabilitation of water station and connecting it with the solar system to provide affordable and sustainable power sources. The water will be transported through the installed iron pipes to underground tank with a capacity of 100m3 that will be constructed on a high hill to ensure the necessary pressure for the flow of sterile and clean water to the BNFs by gravity, then Amal will support the operating costs to pump the safe water from the network towards the BNF's homes. Moreover, a capacity building - for water units' staff- will be taken into consideration by conducting trainings on cost recovery and operation/maintenance to ensure sustained operation and maintenance of water supply and support them with operational costs for 3 months.

2) Expansion of sewage networks in Korin, to ensure safe access to sanitation infrastructure for the whole community members both IDPs and host communities.

3) Establish of wastewater treatment plant (Anaerobic Baffled Reactor ABR) in Korin. Amal will use a specific HLP due diligence to make sure that the lands are clear, and connecting the wastewater network to simple technology, zero energy requirement, low-cost and environmentally friendly ABR which will consist of an inlet facility, tank with 5 tanks, outlets facility which is storage tanks and an irrigation line with 6 manholes for irrigation. By the proposed technology the treated wastewater will flow to the installed and distributed storage tanks as the farmers will be able to reuse the treated water to irrigate their crops instead of wastewater they use. This component will benefit the whole community through reducing WBD particularly AWD/cholera (with regards to vegetables which are eaten raw).

4) Supporting the regular solid waste management in two communities (Korin and Nahliya) through providing incentives (Cash for Work) for 15 SWM workers, OampM for SWM vehicles, distribution of waste containers, cleaning tools and PPE for SWM workers. This component will benefit  both communities.

5) Control of the spread of AWD/cholera and COVID-19 through RCCE and provision of soap for hand washing for 3,100 HHs (13997 individuals) among the most vulnerable and subjected to infection focusing on women-headed HHs, elderly, PWDs and those who have chronical diseases and children in the schools who mainly transmit infection to their families. Hygiene promotion activities will be at the same time with the distribution process and it will concentrate on increasing the awareness for the BNFs to AWD/cholera and COVID-19 prevention measures.
