Provide life-saving assistance to improve food security of IDPs The project aims at supporting IDPs affected by the recent Idleb offensive displaced in Reception Centers, open field and informal settlements, proving emergency food assistance in the form of cooked meals, covering a period up to four weeks of their immediate food needs through short-term support by cooked meals and bread. This response will provide in average the minimum 2,100 kcal per person/per day as per Sphere standards and FSL cluster recommendation.
The life-saving food assistance consists in providing two meals daily with bread, in kind, to 32,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) who fled from conflict areas. SARD is committed to providing the cooked meals in Reception Centers, open field and informal settlements. The action is coordinated with the CCCM and FSL clusters, as well as with the agencies managing the reception centers.
At the time of the proposal, only 3 reception centers are currently operating (Al Bab, Maaret Elwhan and Azaz)  and supported by SARD with provision of cooked meals, while under the management of the Maram foundation and the SAED Charity (in coordination with OCHA, CCCM, the FSL cluster, IOM and other aid actors). Currently, SARD is providing emergency cooked meals with an on-going OCHA Emergency 2019 allocation, and the funding is expected to be exhausted on 30st of March latest as the needs are much greater than anticipated. This allocation will allow 1-2 weeks overlapping just to make sure that there is no disruption of the activities between the 2 allocations, to ensure continuity of food supply to the people in need/
In order to ensure that the project sustains independently, SARD will request support cost for the operation, however, SARD has made all effort possible to keep the ratio below 15% support cost in order to get more coverage of food assistance as the needs are so great.
Based on the experience in 2019, it is to note that new IDPs usually stay up to 4 weeks (28 days -30,5 average in the reception centers).
Specific most vulnerable beneficiary families may remain in the reception centers for a longer period (and will receive assistance for the whole duration of the project of 3 months if requested).
In total, the SCHF will support (32,000 individual x 1 month). The budget includes 32,000 x 30.5 days = 976 000 rations (lunch + dinner + bread). 
Additional potential donors may complete the response to face expected new influxes of displacements in the project period. The action’s contingency planning includes the capacity to face new IDPs influxes in reception centers until mid-2020.
Emergency food assistance for vulnerable populations in Dana subdistrict. With the increasing rise of COVID-19 cases in northwest Syria as well as persistent violence and a weak economic system. Vulnerable people in Dana subdistrict face significant food challenges and the inability to access critical fresh food items. IDP, host community and returnee populations chronically lack the ability to access food, and COVID-19 items. Inflation has taken a serious toll on the prices of basic goods. IYD, therefore, proposes this response. This project will involve the provision of food assistance to 2,000 HHs

IYD, throughout this proposed project, is looking forward to meeting the food needs where many vulnerable families are either receiving inadequate food assistance or not receiving at all thus, IYD will implement the following activities:
-Provide 1,000 HHs (2,250 males, 2,750 females, and 250 PWDs) living in Sarmada camps (Kamora Sarmada, Um Near, Bsakala, Salah Aldeen, and Dia'a 9 Kafroma ) with cash for food of  $ 50 value on a monthly basis for 6 rounds to buy fresh food at the markets to prevent/reduce the risk of COVID-19 exposure. This activity will complement IYD’s ongoing project with WFP and will target the displaced people in Sarmada clusters who are not covered by WFP project. Building on IYD's current project with SCHF under number 15,000, this project will target the same locations and caseload to improve and sustain access to food for those most in need. In terms of market availability and accessibility, IYD has conducted a marketplace assessment to ensure that target populations are able to access the markets near them. Please see the attached marketplace assessments (vendors and buyers).
- Distribute 1,000 ready-to-eat food rations (out of the targeted camps mentioned above) to COVID patients, and people who have had contact with COVID patients and must apply home quarantine. Through this activity, IYD will secure sufficient food items and encourage people who may transmit the infection to apply home quarantine, and thereby, contributing to reduce the spread of COVID-19 in NWS.


Since the allocation paper encourages partners to prepare effective budgets, IYD decided to utilize its own resources to decrease the implementation cost, thus maximize the benefit earned per beneficiary.
Supporting the IDPs and overwhelmed communities in Idleb with fixed and mobile  health 
services interventions In line with the strategic objective 1 of the HRP for Syria and the health cluster-specific objective 1 as well as the current allocation-specific objectives, HIHFAD seeks to 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.
through this project, HIHFAD will continue provision of health services via one PHC  located in Kalbbet /Alamal Camps with a population of 26,719 according to HeRAMS  95% of them are IDPs and to increase the accessibility of essential health services through a mobile unit and teams connected to the fixed PHC, the mobile unit will provide health services via qualified medical team and will continue visits to the camps in need based on weekly plans in coordination with IHD ( Idleb Health Directorate ) and the partners in the same area. In addition, in order to ensure the availability of specialized services to the most vulnerable people and persons with functional difficulties, 5 mobile teams will continue Home to home visits to support patients with physiotherapy treatment, mental health services and distribute assistive devices, also refer medical cases in coordination with Kalbeet PHC and Secondary health facilities

1 fixed PHC: provide women, children, people with NCD and elderly health services in addition to essential LAB services  ( PHC level 3 according to the EHSP essential health service package 
1 mobile unit: outreach patients in the camps and conducts health consultations 
5 mobile teams: conduct home/tent  visits and provide multi-sectoral service (physiotherapy sessions, MHPSS, material supports, referrals)
Emergency shelter support for Enhancing living conditions to provide adequate shelter for New IDPs in Northern West Syria Ahl Horan Association (AHA) in this proposal intends to provide quick fixing\light repairs (minimum basic repairs)the intervention aims to provide safe shelter to the newly displaced people settling in unfinished buildings.  The repairs will not change any of the property’s structure and it is only limited to repairing windows, doors, holes and WASH facilities. average of $400 per HH but will give an adequate answer to the shelter need enhance the living conditions of the conflict-affected population living in Afrin and Dana communities as needs are  huge in that area based on the information provided by CCCM cluster and OCHA sit. Rep. No8 for last huge displacement and to the RA strategic paper for the first round. The action that AHA will take is quick rehabilitation of 800 shelter units in Afrin and Dana communities and support those communities in providing a life-saving and life sustaining shelter support through rehabilitation process within 7 months.

The idea of proposing this project came from the previous implementation of shelter rehabilitation for damaged houses and shelter units in Daret Azze city by AHA and Afrin where AHA intends to expand its operations to provide needed emergency shelter response.

A focus on minimum basic repairs allows a maximization of impact, in order to assist as many beneficiaries as possible from new IDPs which their shelter units were unfinished or damaged  to sustain their lives, windows and doors for instance as the needs assessment done by our teams and engineers showed that many of IDPs are living in very bad condition. Units targeted in the RNA was checked for the HLP issues and no major issues checked. In addition to the repair of small holes in walls, missing doors, broken or missing windows, locks and plumbing services, AHA will install one solar panel system in each targeted HHs (if not existed) to provide an alternative source of lighting in an energy scarce environment and to enhance privacy and decrease protection issues for women and children.

AHA seeks to address the needs for the most vulnerable people in targeted locations and this definition of the needs came from needs assessment done by AHA, Pictures of the damaged houses are attached in documents in addition to needs reports and calls for interventions from areas LCs.

The provision of shelter meets one of the basic survival needs of women, girls, boys and men and can strengthen protection in a physical sense

AHA will coordinate with the responsible organization of the served area to cover other needs to enhance the living condition that may include livelihood opportunities for the most vulnerable people.

Promoting resilience through increased access to quality education and psycho-social support for conflict-affected children in Northern Syria The overall objective of the proposed intervention is to improve school-aged children’s access to safe, inclusive and quality learning environments in order to foster their resilience. This will be achieved through a holistic approach providing support to formal schools as well as incorporating psychosocial support activities (PSS). PIN will provide a package of integrated activities to 7 primary and secondary formal schools (9 shifts), where 4,791 children (1,917 boys and 2,874 girls) are enrolled (23% IDPs). By supporting a quality-learning environment, PIN aims to discourage drop-out and increase meaningful learning as well as increase enrollment of out-of-school children (OOSC). To achieve this, PIN will provide appropriate teaching and learning materials as well as recreational materials. PIN will cover the school's operational costs, including fuel for heating during the winter months, in order to secure the functioning of schools and to create a safe and child-friendly environment. Awareness and outreach campaigns will be conducted to reach out-of-school children and their families, with a focus on identifying and removing the barriers to increase enrollment and attendance of the most vulnerable groups. The quality of education will be improved through contextualized and targeted teacher training and further support to their professional development within each school. Monthly incentives will be provided to all educational personnel to increase their motivation and ensure their retention in schools. PSS will be a fundamental part of the project aiming to improve the well-being and learning capacity of children and teachers, who are traumatized by the war benefiting both in-school and out-of-school children. Adapting to the context of COVID-19 school closures, PIN is proposing a tested mobile-based methodology to be used in case further school closures persist. To prepare for the schools’ re-opening, the essential component of remedial classes is also incorporated into the project design, to support children with closing the gap in their knowledge and skills the distance methodology may have created for some of them. PIN will also strengthen its referral system through service mapping and training on the identification and referral of children with protection risks and child protection.
Facilitating access to clean and safe drinking water to conflict-affected communities in Idleb 2020 - 2021 GOAL proposes to support 16 Water Stations (WSs) managed by 3 Water Units (WUs) in Idleb Governorate to enhance their capacity to meet increased local water demand owing to population displacements, outlined in section 2 of this proposal. The aim of the action is to ensure access to reliable, safe and clean drinking water by conflict-affected communities including host and displaced populations in the northern sub-districts of Idleb Governorate. This will be done through infrastructure rehabilitation and repairs, training and coaching to WUs and subordinated WSs staff, and water quality management. Complementary to this, COVID-19 adapted hygiene promotion sessions and COVID-19 community led action (CLA) sessions will be carried out. The project is a continuation of the ongoing OCHA Syria Cross-border Humanitarian Fund (SCHF) funded project (TUR-19/3559/SA2/WASH/INGO/14498) that is currently due to end on 08 July, and is pending modification request approval for extension until 31 July 2020. 

The proposed action will enable approximately 180,369 people living in the targeted WSs’ catchment areas to regularly access adequate quantities of clean and safe drinking water, piped directly to households (HHs). Approximately 35 litres/person/day (LPD) will be pumped to HHs. This is in accordance with current WASH Cluster COVID-19 guidance. Additionally, 3,150 people attending GOAL distributions under other projects will be reached with COVID-19 adapted hygiene promotion sessions and 350 individuals will participate in COVID-19 CLA sessions through this action. In total 3,500 people will benefit from hygiene activities.

GOAL’s wider WASH programme, including the current active version of the proposed project, has undergone an intensive COVID-19 preparation and adaption process that will enable GOAL to continue providing these essential WASH services in the case of a COVID-19 outbreak.
Emergency response to the newly arrived IDPs and hosting communities in Maaret Masrin and Armanaz communities (Idleb governorate) through provision of emergency shelter repairs. This project is designed to respond for the need of enhancing access to safe and adequate shelter for the newly arrived IDPs in two communities ( Maaret Temsrin, Armanaz).


BINAA will provide shelter light repairs at an average of $290 for 960 HHs (5760 individuals) (1235 men, 1300 women, 1580 boys, and 1645 girls) (200 in Armanaz community and 760 in Maaret Tamsrin community). The repair works will enable the target communities to use local materials and work through local contractors to improve their living conditions, fostering a sense of ownership, responsibility, and resilience while supporting local markets.
Beneficiaries numbers for the shelter units rehabilitation calculated based on average number of HH members of 6 persons.

Shelter repair beneficiaries will be newly displaced IDPs and host community households living in an inadequate shelter that does not meet minimum SPHERE minimum standards for square meters of covered living space per person and has inadequate privacy or protection from the elements, settlement planning and WASH facilities. We will target shelter units that have damage level falls within cluster recommendation - Grade 1 Slight. Works include provision and installation of doors and windows to close the openings to protect from the weather or to ensure privacy, provision of PVC door for the toilet and bathroom, and light repairs were needed.
The works will ensure increased privacy between male and females, host and hosted families that enhance gender sensitive response. Furthermore, for HHs with disabled persons, additional works will be included to respond to their needs by including disability friendly entrance and toilet facilities (e.g. use of a simple ramp with a handrail for using wheelchairs at the building entrance and seating provisions for toilets).

To participate in the project HHs and building owners should agree on the terms of assistance and sign a contract that allows the IDP household to stay in the build for one year for free to ensure that HLP guidance are considered and utilized. To benefit from the project, all beneficiaries should present valid HLP documents that verify the ownership of properties.
Provision of essential health care services and psychosocial support to conflict-affected population in northern Syria In line with priorities established in the Northwest Syria Humanitarian Readiness and Response Plan (31 January 2020), the project will focus on emergency health response as per Allocation Strategic Objective (ASO) 3: Provision of emergency services in and out of camps. 

The project will ensure provision of lifesaving and essential primary health care services care and psychosocial support to a total catchment population of approximately 36,000 conflict-affected population, including both IDPs (in and out of camp) and Host Communities residents living in Afrin District (indirect beneficiaries). The high rate of arrival of new IDPs in the area is expected to lead to an increase in the catchment population during the implementation of the project. 

The project will support continuity of services in one PHC Center in Afrin District, located in Jinderes City Centre. The facility is strategically located in the sub-district receiving the second largest number of new IDPs in Afrin District since 1 December 2019 (40,756 new IDPs as of 23 February 2020). 

Since July 2019, the number of IDPs residing in Afrin sub-district has almost tripled and in Jinderes has at least doubled as of February 2020 (CCCM/HNAP data), exacerbating tension with local residents and previously resettled IDPs all facing limited availability of essential services and shelter. Since the first week of February 2020, movement towards northern Aleppo governorate continue to increase due to increasing insecurity in Idlib and Western Aleppo governorates, indicating that more people are seeking to reach safety and services in these areas which will require important preparedness steps across all sectors. 

DDD is one of the key health service providers in Afrin District and this project will support emergency preparedness steps to ensure appropriate health service coverage and capacity to increase service availability in case of massive IDP arrival. 

The project will allow DDD to scale up and complement the ongoing response implemented by DDD under SCHF 2019 2nd Allocation, focusing on provision of essential PHC and PSS services in Dana sub-district. DDD Emergency Preparedness and Response Plan (Annex 2) includes possible reallocation of health staff and assets from Dana sub-district to Afrin district in order to ensure safety of staff/beneficiaries while maintaining availability of services. 

A total of 19,810 individuals are expected to directly benefit from this intervention (direct beneficiaries).

The project will provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people to alleviate suffering, in line with HRP 2019 objective 1.

Complementarity with other funding: SCHF Funding will complement additional source of funding currently under negotiation (ECHO) to support the project to be implemented in Afrin.
Provision of relevant quality learning opportunities for affected children in Northwest Syria This project supports children in Idleb and Aleppo from the host community and IDPs which includes the most vulnerable groups (children under 12 years, IDPs children, children with disabilities) to provide equitable access for quality learning opportunities for girls and boys in both for primary and secondary school level in both formal and non-formal settings. The implementation approach will be focusing on the adoption of the education program in Voilet to ensure the continuity of education and provide access to learning opportunities before, during, and after COVID-19 by delivering quality education in the existing formal and non-formal learning spaces in the targeted locations that have been either complete cessation or substantial reduction in non-earmarked funding support to the education based on the result of the education need assessment conducted by Violet's team in those locations. The project design complies with INEE minimum standards and safe-programming principles for children to ensure that children have access to inclusive and equitable quality education that provides opportunities for lifelong learning.  

Violet aims to achieve the overall change (the impact) we want to have is improved student resilience and learning outcomes – specifically, improved resilience for up to 7,770 children (50 percent girls) with at least 50 percent achieving improved basic learning outcomes through: 
- The provision of distance learning with PSS amp SEL activities during COVID-19 response until the beginning of the academic year in September 2020
- The provision of incentives has a positive impact on teacher attendance and retention
- Return to the normal eduction after COVID-19 response, provision of formal education with complementary remedial and catch-up classes which ends by re-entering the students into formal education after a short-term intervention
- The  Ongoing teacher professional development and support which effectively equip teachers with the skills to provide protective and quality education in the supported learning spaces online during COVD-19 and in-person after it.
- Enhanced participation by children, parents, and communities in supporting children’s education and protection
- Provide support for children with more significant functioning problems, ensure to implement the RECU design in the education facilities (Reach, Enter, Circulate, Use) to fully mainstream disability in education
- PSS (Psychosocial Support) and SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) activities (through PSS facilitators online communicating with families
- Implement comprehensive health and hygiene protocols and awareness-raising
- Conduct safeguarding activities and scale up a suite of activities designed to help keep children safe including emergency preparedness and response activities.
