The targeted cadasters will include Rmoul in Akkar and Tabbaneh and Qoubbe in Tripoli. Those areas of intervention (AoI) have been chosen to be within the same catchment area of the PHCCs already supported by PUI, and based on the needs identified and on PUI’s extensive experience implementing projects in those districts. However, it is worth mentioning that PUI will not be restricted to the above-mentioned cadasters and might target additional ones in the neighboring areas based on the needs and capacity. Activities will target individuals from all nationalities, prioritizing support for older persons at risk and their households. lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/pgtltp style="line-height:1.2margin-top:9.95ptmargin-bottom:9.95pt" dir="ltr"gtltb id="docs-internal-guid-2998c8fa-7fff-c127-b1e7-73fdb488e327" style="font-weight:normal"gtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arial,sans-serifcolor:#000000background-color:transparentfont-weight:400font-style:normalfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gtUnder the Protection component, PUI is planning to provide specialized protection services for older persons and their carers in Akkar and North Lebanon governorates. The project will aim to mitigate protection risks and threats faced by older persons and their carers and to strengthen their resilience through the provision of case management (CM) services, protection cash assistance, psychosocial support, and specialized rehabilitation services linked to PUI-supported PHCCs. As part of CM services, PUI case workers will refer the persons of concern (PoC) to multiple services according to the agreed action plan referrals will be conducted to  health and shelter services provided within the project and to other specialized services provided by PUI and other actors to ensure a holistic response to the needs of older persons and their carers. Moreover, the intervention will aim to foster a safe, participatory and inclusive community environment for older persons and their carers. Through the implementation of outreach and information sessions led by volunteers, awareness sessions, recreational activities and community group interventions, PUI will strengthen community support networks and improve the protective environment for older persons in North Lebanon and Akkar. lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/pgtltp style="line-height:1.2margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt" dir="ltr"gtltb id="docs-internal-guid-2998c8fa-7fff-c127-b1e7-73fdb488e327" style="font-weight:normal"gtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arial,sans-serifcolor:#000000background-color:transparentfont-weight:400font-style:normalfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gtltspan id="docs-internal-guid-2998c8fa-7fff-c127-b1e7-73fdb488e327" style="color: rgb(17, 17, 17) font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif font-size: 14px"gtltspan style="font-size: 8pt font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: rgb(0, 0, 0) font-variant-numeric: normal font-variant-east-asian: normal font-variant-alternates: normal vertical-align: baseline"gtPUI will also provide complementary hospital support for all nationalities while targeting older persons who might be in need of advanced diagnostic tests or emergency room (ER) without admission through contracted hospitals and referrals received from other PUI departments, PHCCs and at the community level.lt/spangtlt/spangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/bgtlt/pgtltp style="line-height:1.2margin-top:0ptmargin-bottom:0pt" dir="ltr"gtltb id="docs-internal-guid-2998c8fa-7fff-c127-b1e7-73fdb488e327" style="font-weight:normal"gtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arial,sans-serifcolor:#000000background-color:transparentfont-weight:400font-style:normalfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gtltbrgtlt/spangtltspan style="font-size:8ptfont-family:Arial,sans-serifcolor:#000000background-color:transparentfont-weight:400font-style:normalfont-variant:normaltext-decoration:nonevertical-align:baselinewhite-space:prewhite-space:pre-wrap"gtFinally, under the shelter program, PUI will provide cash for rent (CfR) assistance to mitigate risk of eviction for vulnerable older persons and their carers. The identification channels will rely on referrals from PUI’s CM team. PUI has been a main actor in the shelter sector in the North for the last few years especially in CfR, and will ensure to follow the sector guidelines and recommendations. PUI will also identify and assist households (HHs) with older persons with disabilities in need of some minor rehabilitation works in order to improve their accessibility and circulation within the shelter unit. lt/spangtlt/bgtlt/pgtltpgtltbr class="Apple-interchange-newline"gt
