Emergency Protection Assistance for IDPs in Northwest Syria In line with the 3rd Reserve Emergency Allocation of SCHF and the needs of affected population in northwest Syria, Shafak is proposing to implement Emergency Protection Assistance for IDPs in Northwest Syria project. The project is designed to expand Shafak’s efforts to respond to the new influx of IDPs displaced from Ma’aret An Numan and other nearby areas. This will be done through expanding the existing mobile protection outreach teams providing General Protection (GP), Child Protection (CP), Mine Action (MA), and Gender Based Violence (GBV) services. This project will be a continuation and expansion component to the existing emergency response modality developed by the Protection Cluster. This coordinated emergency response is led by focal points, among which Shafak Organization. 
In particular, Shafak, being the emergency focal point for Idleb district, in coordination with the other focal points in other areas, will leverage the combined technical expertise and geographic coverage to provide a harmonized and comprehensive approach to the provision of prevention and response services for new IDPs in northern Syria, particularly Idleb sub-district and Maaret Tamsrin of Idleb district. 
The expected outcome will be to:
- Scale up and Enhance the prevention and mitigation of protection risks in the most affected areas, and respond to protection needs through provision of integrated emergency protection services, including GP, GBV, CP and MA. 
Different preventive and response protection activities will be carried during the project period including:
1-	Provision of awareness raising sessions on (CP, GBV, General Protection) through 5 emergency integrated protection mobile teams who will be responsible for PSS and Awareness Raising activities.
2-	Provision of awareness raising sessions Risk Education through the 5 emergency integrated protection mobile teams who will be responsible for PSS and Awareness Raising activities.
3-	Scale up the provision of PFA and PSS activities and disseminate information about the available services for girls, boys, men, and women.
4-	provide individual protection assistance (IPA) services and direct support for cases with specific protection needs including PWDs.
5-	Identity and refer men, women, boys and girls to protection and non-protection services.
6-	Distribute PSS and recreational kits for children and to other protection actors working in the same areas.
7-	Distribute Dignity kits for women and girls in the targeted areas.
The proposed intervention will benefit an estimated 23,050 IDPs, including 2,545 people with disabilities, 2185 men, 2950 women, 9,265 boys, and 8650 girls. 
The project is an expansion of the current emergency project implemented by Shafak through the SCHF fund, 2nd Reserve Allocation, TUR-19/3559/RA2/P/NGO/13784. Through the current project Shafak has five mobile outreach teams responding to the emerging needs of affected population in northern Syria. Through this project, Shafak will increase the number of mobile teams from 5 teams to 8 teams to be able to cover the increasing needs of people, particularly people who have been displaced recently from Ma’aret An Numan and other nearby areas.
