Provision of education opportunities to Syrian children in Hama. Through this intervention, Ataa will be reaching 945 vulnerable children (40% Female, 60% Male) in As Suqaylabiyah district, Madiq Castle sub-district, Hama governorate (2 villages: Tweini, Kirkat). 

This project aims to reach the most vulnerable children, who have been out of school for more than a year, with basic education (BE.)

945 children (according to Ataa needs assessment conducted in September 2016) will be enrolled in 2 schools which are rehabilitated and equipped according to INEE minimum standards. Ataa will provide children with school kits in addition to school textbooks.

27 teachers, and 8 education personnel will be selected to run these activities with the children. Education personnel and teachers will receive monthly incentives at the end of each month.

Ataa will advertise about school opening in the target communities in order to inform these communities and bring students who lost their education opportunities. A back to school campaign will be conducted in each school.

Ataa will prepare for winter in the target schools by distributing stoves and fuel for the schools. This is supposed to go along with the beginning of the project in order to prepare schools and children for winter and provide them with protective and safe environment.

Ataa will conduct classroom observations on monthly basis in order to ensure that education provided to children is of high quality. 

A capacity building plan will be established to target the PTCs members to cope with any changes or conditions face them. 

Ataa will establish basic feedback and complaint mechanism in the schools using the suitable methodologies for handling and receiving the complaints in the schools.

The project will be implemented in close coordination and collaboration with local authorities in the target communities.
Promoting education in northern of Syria through integrated project. The project consists of three main parts:
Supporting 6 schools with a capacity of 3000 girls and boys, capacity building for 150 teachers, and targeting 3750 girls and boys in back to learning (BTL) campaign. 

PART 1- Raising the awareness among children and community for the importance of education, by conducting a Back to learning (BTL) campaign in Aleppo city “Jebel Saman” during summer break. The campaign is targeting 5,000 out-of-school girls and boys (8-14 years) through 22 BTL centers. Aleppo has several schools yet there are many girls and boys are out-of-school for different reasons.
BTL curriculum is "Self-Learning Programme" by MoE, UNICEF and UNRWA, published on WoS-education. The curriculum is designed to help students catch-up and get ready to get back to school. The facilitators will help students in using the curriculum according to the User Guide provided with the curriculum. Donwload link: http://goo.gl/lnso4M 
We will be using this curriculum for the first time. We are already preparing teachers to get familiar with it. The curriculum is approved by UNICEF. Our expert staff “senior teachers” will provide the technical oversight.
Regarding Arabic, English, and numeracy we will use the generally used curriculum in literacy centers in Syria. 

PART 2-  Teachers’ capacity building via training program for 150 teachers in Aleppo and Idleb governorates during summer break, to improve the quality of educational services provided to children. The training programs will include teaching skills, PSS basics, in addition to standard educational procedures, that will support the efforts of local educational bodies, such as education directorate, in standardizing educational process in all schools. 

PART 3- Increases equitable access to education for 3000 girls and boys (5-17 years) in Aleppo and Idilb governorates, by supporting 6 schools for one academic year, to cover the increasing needs due to the IDPs influx to the area. The support includes: minor rehabilitation of schools, provide incentives to the teachers and staff, provide education supplies to teachers and students, conduct recreational activities, provide PSS to the children, hold PTA meetings, and community-engagement activities. A qualified child protection officer is assigned for each school. Child protection officer is responsible for applying and following-up child protection mechanisms and procedures. Bus service is provided to transfer girls to encourage their families to send them to school.

MampE- Monitoring and evaluation processes run along the three parts of the project.
Emergency WASH response for in-camp IDPs in Northern Syria IDP Sites Under this project, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) will continue providing emergency WASH services to 48,265 internal displaced persons (IDPs) in 58 camps in northern Syria. The IRC has been providing WASH services, including the provision of safe water, access to latrines and solid waste removal within the minimum SPHERE standards, to IDP camps in the target area since 2013 through alternative funding sources. The IRC WASH facilities and services are accessible to all population groups (women, girls, men, boys and persons with disabilities) water points and communal latrine/shower blocks were located and built in consultation with different groups including men and women beneficiaries to ensure all individuals can access and use them in safety and dignity, and with the aim of reducing the risk of gender-based violence (GBV). Latrines are sex-segregated, lockable from inside, and fitted with lights and ramps. One larger room is available to accommodate assistive devices. Female latrine blocks are designated at a ratio of 1:1 with male latrines. 
Currently no local or international organization or local authority is able to assume responsibility for the provision of WASH services in the targeted camps and there is no indication that the IDPs are willing/able to return to their places of origin. As a result, IDPs will continue to be reliant on the WASH services provided by the IRC for essentials such as daily drinking water, basic sanitation, and daily waste removal. The IRC, therefore, proposes to continue this WASH program in the 58 targeted camps through HPF funds for five months with the overall program objective of improving the quality of basic services in IDP sites and reducing the transmission of fecal-oral diseases among conflict-affected IDPs in camps in northern Syria.
Emergency food security intervention in support to newly displaced people from Northern Rural Aleppo This project is design to urgently respond to basic food needs of recently displaced and vulnerable civilians coming from Northern Rural Aleppo after the recent humanitarian crisis affecting the area. The project will support recently displaced householders that are moving to Rural Aleppo and Rural Idleb through the distribution of ready to eat rations that are also including bread. Families are now living in precarious and vulnerable situation without any source of income, with very restricted access to food and other basic commodities. Families are now moving to towns near the Turkish border between the two Governorates of Aleppo and Idleb.
Emergency multi-sectoral and winterisation assistance to IDPs in settlements and collective centers in Northern Syria This project aims to address the immediate needs of the most vulnerable displaced population living in IDP camps and collective centers in Northern Syria by providing Emergency Kits and tent insulation kits. IOM will implement this through partners who are selected based on their response capacity and strategic access to target locations. IOM will continue to increase the number of tents available to members of the CCCM Cluster in order to respond to the immediate needs of IDPs in Northern Syria. The project will also cover transportation of the tents from Gaziantep to partners’ warehouses inside Syria through Bab al Hawa and Bab al Salame border and distribution costs.
Emergency supports to small-scale herders in northern Syria to protect livestock assets and reduce animal production losses while gradually strengthening the provision of essential services. Agriculture has faced many challenges and losses since the start of the Syrian crisis. Before the beginning of the conflict, about 50% of the population lived in rural areas and depended on agriculture for their livelihoods (22% of the male and 48% of the female population were engaged in the sector – CIA, World Fact Book 2014). Before the crisis, agriculture was a key sector for the economy of Syria. The livestock sub-sector alone absorbed approximately 20% of unemployment in rural areas (FAO 2003: Syrian Agriculture at the crossroads). 

Considering that only 28% of Syria's land surface is arable and 46% constitutes rangeland, livestock and animal production are central in the agriculture sector (FAO 2006: Syrian Arab Republic, FAO Countries profile). Livestock supports a large portion of the poor, landless and marginalized farmers in Syria particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. The sector provides also key support for the food security and nutrition of women and children.

Despite the potential of agriculture to address mounting food unavailability in Syria, little has been invested in the recovery of the sector. Thousands of people have therefore lost their only source of livelihood and income relying mainly on humanitarian aid for their survival. In this context, there is the urgent need to safeguard and support livelihoods by protecting, restoring and improving food and agricultural systems of vulnerable, affected households.

In this context, FAO is proposing to build on a previous HPF project ‘Emergency support to small-scale herders in northern Syria to protect livestock assets and reduce animal production losses’ (TUR-14/CP/FS/UN/1095) to scale up activities in Idleb and Aleppo governorates. The aim of this proposal is to support small-scale herders to protect livestock assets and reduce animal production losses while gradually strengthening the provision of essential extension services.
Case Management Capacity Building Programme The International Rescue Committee (IRC) Case Management Capacity Building Programme will support the development of local partner capacity in comprehensive case management in order to improve local ability in Northern Syria to meet and respond to the protection needs of women, men, boys and girls. Building on the IRC’s local capacity strengthening activities delivered with UNHCR support in 2016, the project will further strengthen partners’ technical skills in handling cases of child abuse, neglect or psychological distress, survivors of sexual violence, and violence against women and girls. IRC will support key managerial and technical staff from identified local NGOs through high impact training and regular mentoring activities to reinforce an advanced approach to survivor-centered case management. The training component will serve two purposes: (1) capacity building of screened local partners in Case Management Core Principals, and (2) technical training of selected local partners on case management for full service delivery (communication guidelines, caring for caseworker staff, intake assessments, protection monitoring etc.) IRC will contextualize and refine its mentoring tools and conduct monthly visits to each partner organization to provide tailored capacity building plans and assess the strengths and weaknesses of newly established case management services. Final assessments will measure local partner implementation capacity at the end of the project based on established milestones and development plans. Protection case management services and technical guidelines are needs-based, and all partners are selected based on their ability to program with gender balanced field staff to ensure that women, men, boys and girls have access to contextually appropriate case management services.
NFI support to the new Aleppo displaced people in host communities in Northern Syria During this period the government of Syria and allied forces have launched a major military offensive against the opposition-held areas in the northern Aleppo countryside .This attack obliged thousands of households to leave their villages such as Tel Rifaat, Hariyatan, Hardatnin and Azaz sub-districts and move to the secured areas to the Turkish borders northern Azaz and other have displaced to the sub-districts of Daret Izza, Harim , Jisr Alshoughour  after the block of the road between the northern parts of Aleppo .
The project aims to support families fleeing their villages in Northern rural Aleppo governorate and support Islamic relief preparedness and response activities. Through this project Islamic relief will be able to respond timely to the IDPs influxes from Aleppo governorate who moved to more secured area in other sub district in northern Syria (Azaz Daret Izza, Harim , Jisr Alshoughour) who have been displaced within the host communities and have not been reached yet as recommend by the NFI/shelter and CCM clusters .So far the number of people fled their villages/ areas reached to 100,000 individuals and expected to increase next day’s/ weeks (50,000 at the Turkish Border – 38,000 accommodated in Az’az City and 49,000 have been displaced in Idleb countryside and Idleb City . With the limited available capacity from the humanitarian actors to response to the rising movement of people, it's highly recommended to ensure a timely response and a contingency assistance items available for the immediate humanitarian response.

So far, Islamic relief has coordinated its capacities with its partner to response to the urgent needs of 3500 people in securing Wash facilities in northern Aleppo, clothes and food distribution in Idleb and Aleppo. But considering the escalated conflict in these areas, the needs for appropriate response and preparedness is increasing. The project aim to distribute new arrival NFIkit to the recent displaced IDPs to secure the minimum NFI /shelter requirement for these vulnerable people who have been displaced in Northern Syria within the hosted communities
Contribution in support to cow herders and improving the livestock sector in Rural of Damascus The project aims to support the cow herders, living in Western Ghouta of Damascus rural. which provides to preserve the health of livestock, increases production and grants economic security for the working families.
