Providing essential nutrition services to vulnerable communities in Syria. The project addresses the immediate and mid-term nutritional needs of women and children in Syria with a special focus on the rural areas of Aleppo, Homs, Hama, Daraa, Deir Ezour, Sweida Lattakia, Qunaitra and Rural Damascus. The priorities are early detection and treatment of severe acute malnutrition and the prevention of acute Malnutrition. The detection of acute malnutrition will be done through MUAC measurements to Children U5 and pregnant lactating women as advised in UNICEF published wasting program protocol which has been endorsed by Nutrition sector and the Ministry of Health.
The service will be delivered mainly through 2 national NGOs with the use of MOH infrastructure to maximize the reach as much as possible.
Cash will be transferred to 2 NGOs (SFPA and Al Ihsan Charity Association) while the supplies will be provided to the beneficiaries through both NGOs and MOH service delivery points.
Both NGOs already have a huge network of volunteers and infrastructure and a good reputation in program implementation
Total population covered through this support will be 158,589 women and children including women and children with disabilities.
To ensure quality UNICEF will procure the required nutrition supplies and distribute to intended sites through partners in intended sites to reach the most vulnerable population. 
Capacity building will be an integral part of the project where NGOs and community volunteers will be trained-contributing in resilience building.

Two of the major impacts of COVID-19 pandemic are the movement restrictions and social/physical distancing, which affected the monitoring, supervision, paper-based reporting and capacity building activities which will defiantly be resulted in a low quality of service.  Hence, another core component of this project comes to address this challenge The enhancement of digital platform of around 130 CMAM centers and 14 trainings venues all over the country. The plan is to i) to equip 14 training/meeting venues in the governorate centers with ICT set of equipment/tools to be used for trainings at the governorate level and to allow participants to attend remote/virtual training/workshops/meetings as well.  ii) To provide each CMAM center with a set of ICT equipment/tools to facilitate virtual meetings, capacity building activities and information management. Another advantage of this digital platform is that it will enable the service provider to track tracking of SAM cases individual which will increase the quality of care and quality of reports as well. 

 This project will be completed in one year.
COVID-19 Response WASH Interventions for Vulnerable Communities in Rural Damascus COVID-19 is having an unprecedented impact on all countries. Syria with its existing humanitarian crisis is particularly at risk and less equipped to respond and protect vulnerable populations. Strong emphasis has been placed on preparedness and response actions which support the containment of the COVID-19 outbreak in Syria as well a focus on the most vulnerable populations. More so, WASH interventions have been identified as constituting a key pillar in COVID-19 infection prevention and control. It is behind this backdrop that ZOA is proposing to provide necessary WASH services, supplies and consumables to vulnerable communities to decrease risks and prevent the spread of COVID-19. ZOA is targeting two IDP compounds in Babella, Rural Damascus with WASH Sector aligned activities- distribution of hygiene kits, solid waste management interventions and  distribution of awareness raising materials and risk communication. The WASH needs for the target locations were identified in the WASH Sector HNO 2020 assessment. Project activities are planned for 4 months and targeted at 20,000 direct beneficiaries with priority given to the most vulnerable households.
Support the provision of essential health care services to IDPs and vulnerable groups in Al Hasakeh city Since Turkey’s military offensive began on 9 October, more than 190,000 women, children and men have been displaced, and almost 1.5 million people are in need of health aid. Many of those affected by the recent hostilities have already experienced immense physical and mental stress as a result of years of conflict and repeated displacement.
 
People in need of essential health care services face challenges related to insecurity and limited access to health care. Already weakened health services in northeast Syria have been severely impacted by the latest security developments. 
Across northeast Syria, shortages of health workers is widespread as they too have been among those displaced by the ongoing insecurity, aggravating an already critical situation and further depriving underserved populations of access to medical care.

Agriculture recovery and cash-based intervention to strengthen resilience and food security among most vulnerable households in Southern Syria According to the Draft Humanitarian Needs Overview 2020, food security situation in Syria has deteriorated compared to the previous year, with alarming surges of the number of people suffering severe food insecurity, loss of livelihoods and high poverty levels. Based on COOPI experience accrued in southern Syria in Food Security and Agriculture (FSA), the present intervention was elaborated to address the worsening of the humanitarian situation in the identified area of Rural Damascus, As-Sweida and Dar’a Governorates. Specifically the proposed action intends to contribute  to the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) specific objectives SO1 “Provide life-saving and life-sustaining humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on those in areas with high severity of needs” and SO3 “Increase the resilience of affected communities by improving access to livelihood opportunities and basic services, especially among the most vulnerable rural households and communities”. The intervention will support 5.950individuals among the most vulnerable people  in the target areas through life saving activities and provision of agricultural inputs to improve resilience. Life-saving activities consist of food vouchers distributed to 100 the most vulnerable households (HHs) who do not have access to their land, especially women headed HHs, elderlies and people with disabilities (PwD), and could not be involved in agro recovery activities, to support them in covering the minimum expenditure basket (MEB) gap and ensure immediate and consistent access to food where markets are functioning. The second component will focus in supporting to the most vulnerable rural HHs to improve access to livelihood opportunities through provision of 640poultry kits and 450 agricultural kits, including good quality seeds and tools. The proposed action will build beneficiaries’ resilience,  also by involving them in capacity building training sessions, related to composting and fertilizer application, water management, reduction of post-harvest losses, food preservation and poultry breeding. 
Based on the sector priorities and needs severity scale, the beneficiaries will be identified on the base of vulnerability criteria, such as HHs with high dependence ratio (either only one productive member or none), with a special focus for families with children under 5 years of age or a member with special needs, vulnerable returnees, woman-headed HHs, family with low or no income to meet the basic food needs. 
Proposed activities have been designed to provide life-saving access to the basic food needs, to sustain small-scale food self-production and improve food consumption, to enhance communities’ resilience and support the adoption of positive coping mechanisms of the most vulnerable HHs in the under-served areas of the three identified Governorates

Multi-Sectoral Support through Multi-Purpose Cash for Vulnerable Households in Nashabiyeh sub-district in Douma, rural Damascus The protracted crisis coupled with the recent COVID-19 pandemic and the rapid devaluation of the SYP has further exacerbated humanitarian needs for already vulnerable communities in Syria. Price inflation of food as well as non-food items has had a serious deteriorating effect compelling people to engage in increasingly negative coping mechanisms. Those hardest hit by the difficult socio-economic conditions are vulnerable communities in under-served locations with high severity needs. This project aims to prevent a further deterioration of living conditions as well as restore dignified living conditions for vulnerable people through a multi-sector approach using Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA). This project will target  Nashabiyeh sub-district in Douma, Rural Damascus (severity score of 4). 2,000 Cash transfers to be made via a regulated financial service provider are targeted at 2,000 households (HHs) -at least 10,000 direct beneficiaries with a frequency of four transfers per household- once a month. The first transfer value of 100,000 SYP is based on  the recommended amounts by the Syria Cash Working Group (approx. 50% of the June 2020 MEB gap). The second and third transfer values of 200,000 SYP each were revised following the new Exchange Rate of the Central Bank of Syria in March 2021 which subsequently led to favourable gains in the budget. The amount of 200,000 SYP is in line with the latest Cash Working Group recommendations for MPCA. As a phase out month, and to compensate for the extra burden due to the economic situation, a fourth and final round of transfers will be sent in September, with a value of 100,000 SYP. Priority will be given to persons living with disabilities, elderly persons, people with chronic illness and injuries, female headed households and people facing extreme socio-economic hardship with considerations made for households who have lost or had their livelihoods means disrupted due to COVID-19. The project is designed offer optimal dignity, flexibility and efficiency for the most vulnerable households.
Urgent WASH support with minor rehabilitation to sewage infrastructure for the vulnerable households and communities in Rural Ar-Raqqa The project aim and task is to provide basic WASH services to people at risk within the highly neglected community of Sabkah/ Raqqa governorate. The area of intervention is still witnessing a steady number of returnees, but they are facing massive difficulties in resettling back into their community, due to the large scale of destruction caused by the conflict. The water networks in general (portable water and sewage wasterwater canals) in the area of intervention are heavily damaged and according to our assessment sewage wastewater and portable water are mixing with each other, within the network system. This current WASH situation exacerbates the spread of diseases and the health situation in general and it is just a matter of time before the impact becomes uncontrollable, without rapid intervention. In the area of Sabkha, 90% of the sewage system is damaged, leaking and not functioning. This urgent need will be addressed by providing minor rehabilitation for two sewage canals, in order to interlink the two most affected neighbourhoods with a functional sewage network system.  The overall target is to provide the affected host and returnee community with basic WASH services and to reduce the outbreaks of possible diseases caused by the currently leaking sewage network system.
