Dignified shelter for EQ affected men, women, boys and girls - EQR Phase 1 ltpgtThe project aims to provide live-saving shelter assistance for people
 affected by the earthquake in the Atareb sub-district in NWS by 
providing dignified shelters for earthquake-affected families who lost 
their houses because of the earthquake and are seeking shelter in 
existing camps with their relatives and in collective centers. The 
project will enhance protection and safety and provide better shelter 
conditions for 166 HHs, 809 individuals affected people (roughly divided
 into 156 men, 173 women, 229 boys, and 251 girls), especially for 
women, girls, and people with disabilities (70 PWDs) in Atareb 
sub-district, Aleppo governorate. The project will aim to provide the 
necessary improvement in the infrastructure and install dignified 
shelter Al Salam camp and one separate sector in Basmet Amal camp, 
whereas the other sectors in the camp benefit from concrete houses that 
an association will provide. Also, the project will cover one sector in 
Hourti camp while the WATAN organization covers the other sector. It was
 coordinated with them and the camp administration to coordinate the 
implementation of the works and prevent overlap in the beneficiaries.   
          The project will cover the needs of new families displaced by 
the earthquake residing within the camps and collective center adjacent 
to the camps in addition to families from the original camp residents 
who live in old, worn tents that do not protect them from harsh weather 
conditions and do not meet the standards of protection and dignity. The 
largest part of the camps already has good infrastructure, but there is 
still a need for some additional work on roads, sanitation, and water 
drainage channels. 166 shelter units consisting of two rooms and 
facilities (a kitchen and a bathroom) will be constructed using sandwich
 panels with facilities built of bricks, in addition to the associated 
infrastructure in line with the dignified shelter guidelines and case 
studies to mitigate the impact of weather conditions, prevent flooding 
and facilitate access to shelter and services in the camp to ensure 
better protection, privacy and dignified living conditions for men, 
women, boys, and girls.                                                 
         Due to adding new shelter units for earthquake effected 
families in the camps, the area of the site needs some expansion. 
Accordingly, the sewage and drainage channels will be expanded, and the 
road network will be developed. The ownership of the land is public 
property. HLP due diligence was completed, and required approvals were 
obtained. The project locations were selected according to needs 
assessment and met the allocation strategy’s priorities. The project 
will contribute to enhancing the local market and operating local 
businesses.  MEAL team will closely monitor all activities and conduct 
PIM and satisfaction surveys to ensure timely delivery of services at 
the required quality and quantity while adhering to humanitarian 
principles and standards. Cholera prevention measures will be maintained
 through the delivery of all activities. SDI will commit to sharing all 
required reports, including 4Ws and others. SDI will ensure the 
protection mainstreaming, Do-No-Harm principles, and sphere standards on
 protection by incorporating protection principles and promoting 
meaningful access, safety, and dignity of targeted sites.ltbrgtlt/pgt
