Acute food insecurity situation in Syria is worsen, with the majority of affected are women and children, and consequently, acute, and chronic malnutrition are at alarming levels and continue to rise. Syrian households rely on increasingly severe negative coping strategies to cover their essential food needs. The Project aims to improve the food security and livelihood status of most vulnerable people through life-sustaining food assistance in the highest severity scale locations in Rural Damascus (Duma and Harasta) and Hama (As-Salamiyeh).
The project will target through monthly basis regural Food vouchers distribution, 516 insecure households that include one or more members that have SAM /MAM cases and PLWs (340 M, 516W, 862B, 862G) where there is a food shortage for the whole family. 

The amount of each voucher will be 83 $ according to WFP Minimum Expenditure Basket for 8 Cycles/Months according to Food Security Sector minimum standard and Cash Working Group.
A suitably composed food voucher is critical to maintaining the nutritional status of the HH , especially when they are fully dependent on food aid.
The size and composition of the food voucher is tailored to local preferences, demographic profile, activity levels, climatic conditions, local coping capacity and existing levels of malnutrition and disease. It is designed to meet the nutritional requirements of the family rather than individuals (who can be targeted through tailored nutrition programs).
this intervention will be carried out:
1- Provision of regrual food voucher assistance to 236 food-insecure households in underserved locations of Hama (As-Salamiyeh), with the highest severity levels of food insecurity on monthly basis (8 cycles/month)
2- Provision of regrual food voucher assistance to 280 food-insecure households in underserved locations of Rural Damascus (Duma and Harasta) with the highest severity levels of food insecurity on monthly basis (8 cycles/Months)
