Structured Psychosocial Support and Mine Risk Education interventions that target children, parents and community leaders through mobile outreach teams. This project contributes to the expansion of Child Protection (CP) services in raising child rights and Mines risk awareness, and improving the quality of Child Protection programming through enhancing the capacity of the actors in Hama, Aleppo and Idleb  And Increasing awareness and understanding for communities on child protection issue in Hama ,  Aleppo and Idlib .  All these Activities will be conducted through well trained mobile outreach teams. Children and adolescents of ages 6 – 18 years will participate in different kinds of activities to develop their personal and social skills, such as cultural, recreation, writing and other life skills. The activities also aim to help children build social relationships with each other and with adults. Each mobile team will perform regular visits to local councils, community leaders, schools and IDP camps five days a week, for 5 hours. Ghiras Foundation will provide a sustained structured of activities using accredited curriculum for psychosocial support programs. 
This project is meant to protect vulnerable children in Syria by providing Risk Education and Psychosocial Support, and directly relates to the following Protection Cluster objectives:
-  Reduce the impact of explosive hazards within Syria through clearance and risk education activities (Mine Action Sub-Cluster)
-  Girls and boys affected by the conflict, with a focus on those most at risk in prioritized locations, have access to effective and quality child protection responses in line with the Child Protection Minimum Standards in Humanitarian Action (Child Protection Sub-Cluster) .
Prepositioning for Aleppo new IDPs The project aims to prepare prepositioning stock includes hygiene kits, water storage tanks and jerry cans in Hazzano community and distribute those materials as an emergency response for the new arrived IDPs from the eastern part of Aleppo city, Al Raqqa governorate and other locations.
We are expecting that more than 54,000 individuals will be displaced from the eastern part of Aleppo, as the expected hosting communities are all the western rural of Aleppo governorate, northern and western rural of Idelb governorate.
This prepositioning will cover around 9,000 families with hygiene kits, water storage tanks and jerry cans as those materials are required to maintain the hygiene level in the hosting communities since those communities are really crowded due to the huge number of the arrived IDPs during 2016 from the continues clashes in southern Aleppo, northern Lattakia and rural Damascus.
The stock will take a place in Khayr warehouse in Hazzano community which is in the northern rural of Idleb making it easy for distribution since it is near all the expected hosting communities.
The distribution will be finalized during the coming three months and in coordination with the local NGOs and the WASH cluster.
Emergency preparedness with WASH supplies and activities The project aims at enhancing the emergency preparedness capacity of the WASH cluster by establishing a stockpile of emergency WASH supplies and cash to effectively and efficiently respond to the urgent WASH needs of IDPs and other needy population as and when they arise in North Syria through cross border operations..
Enhancing humanitarian WASH support services in A'zaz and Afrin and reducing morbidy among crisis-affected communities. SI's presence in Aleppo Governorate since 2012 allows the organisation to build a robust knowledge, understanding and credibility within local communities and to analyse the evolution of needs in this area, particularly in A'zaz. As a result of this knowledge and analysis, SI is proposing a project focusing on two main regions of Northern Syria: A'zaz and Afrin Districts.

In A'zaz, SI will work to enhance the humanitarian community's response capacity for humanitarian WASH needs in A'zaz District in already existing informal settlement such as Talil Elsam School, Talil Elsham and Eastern Sujo informal settlements. Those sites have been selected because the ratio is above 1:100 in terms of sanitation infrastructure. SI will work in close collaboration with existing WASH actors, camp management, local councils and community to determine where it will be better to install the facilities in the areas. Operations amp maintenance of infrastructure (including desludging) will then be handed over to the responsible WASH actor as will be detailed in the pre-established Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by all parties. On discussion with existing WASH actors, all who have been contacted have agreed to work through this methodology and will be engaged for further discussions following the funding of this intervention. 

In Afrin, SI will provide WASH support to Avin health facility, currently hosting over 300 people per day with only 12 latrines and no showers. In compliment, SI will launch a comprehensive technical needs assessment, mobilizing community, disseminating key hygiene messages and coordinating with local authorities. This assessment will provide the humanitarian community with the much needed WASH needs and gaps analysis for Afrin from which to design and launch informed WASH interventions, positively contributing towards the health and lives of host and IDP communities in this region.
Strengthening the resilience of food insecure households through support to backyard food production and micro gardens Findings from the Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM) undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in May 2015 estimates that wheat production at country level has been 40 percent lower than the average production achieved prior to the crisis. Furthermore it indicated that the quality of diet and micronutrient intake in Syria has markedly deteriorated with many households substantially reducing the consumption of meat, dairy products, eggs, vegetables and fruits. A 2016 CFSAM has been recently undertaken and the findings will be elaborated and shared shortly.

The over arching objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of resilience and food security of vulnerable crisis-affected families in the northern Syria districts. The project aims at supporting vulnerable farmers and IDP families living in urban areas to grow their own nutritious food through distribution of vegetable seeds and supporting them with knowledge sharing and capacity building on homestead gardening and microgardening.
Reducing the Vulnerability of Conflict Affected Syrians in Hard-to-Reach (HTR) Regions of Northern Syria through the Rehabilitation of 250 Households. In order to improve the humanitarian response and alleviate suffering of IDPs and vulnerable populations in conflict-afflicted areas, SRD will support the rehabilitation of 250 beneficiary Households (HH) with a total of 1,625 individuals for host communities and IDPs with a substantial Protection component outreach component in the form of 12 hygiene and sanitation informational sessions and 12 Protection awareness sessions delivered by 8 professionally-qualified trainers within 2 OCHA designated hard-to-reach Idleb subdistricts of Bennsh and Ma’aarrat Tamsrin. The individuals served consist of both IDPs (who are relatives/close friends of host community home owners, as verified by local councils) and members of the host community that reside in homes that have been severely destroyed due to continued damage to homes as a result of aerial/land attacks in addition to general dilapidation from poor living conditions that do not allow for comprehensive upkeep. Therefore, both IDPs residing with host community members and host community members themselves. Homes targeted are owned by families served, as confirmed by Local Councils. SRD staff identify and categorize households as vulnerable by utilizing an SRD vulnerability criteria index (See Annex E. SRD Vulnerability Index) with two components: the level of damage and repair needed for housing and the demographic information regarding households and the presence of vulnerable HH members. In addition to the repair of structural damage, doors, broken windows, locks and deteriorated plumbing, SRD will install one solar panel system in each targeted HHs to provide an alternative source of lighting in an energy scarce environment. SRD seeks to capitalize on its experience implementing Shelter operations throughout Northern Syria in order to devise a more qualitative and sustainable response to Shelter repair, with the goal of improving livelihoods and promoting stability, reintegration of IDPs into host communities and a return to normalcy for all targeted HHs. In addition to enhancing physical stability and safety via Shelter repair of mild to moderately damaged HHs, SRD will enhance Protection by employing trained social workers to deliver educational outreach sessions to targeted beneficiaries on human rights, SGBV, anti-violence, gender equality, family planning, health and hygiene and other critical topics. SRD has targeted two areas identified by OCHA as HTR and prioritized  them according to the considerable damage to civilian infrastructure warranting the need for moderate to substantial repair, and the high concentrations of IDPs within these areas. SRD seeks to take advantage of the decline in violence and resumption of stability that has resulted from the fragile cessation of hostilities by implementing shelter rehabilitation in a rapid manner and taking measures to promote long-term integration of IDPs into host communities. SRD has selected Idleb, as it will carry out operations in Aleppo Old City with other grant programming.
Protecting extremely vulnerable IDPs, returnees and host communities in Menbij and Jarablus by improving their abilities to cope with the effects of armed violence The project activities are focused in Menbij and Jarablus. Both locations have recently witnessed heavy fighting, culminating in the retreat of IS, and leaving destroyed infrastructure and houses, explosive ordnance contamination and displaced populations. Explosive ordnance contamination is a major concern, with deaths and injuries reported daily. IS have boasted on social media that they have left some 50,000 IEDs in the Menbij area. People are largely being killed/seriously injured by Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) and booby traps in the western and central parts of Menbij town. As the possibility of humanitarian clearance activities happening soon is slim, the need for Risk Education (RE) is acute. Although Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) contamination levels in Jarablus are reported to be lower, they are still a threat to the local IDP and host communities. Security forces are reportedly conducting military mine lifting and land clearance activities, but they are only clearing areas that are of strategic importance to their military activities. Land of no military importance is not being searched or cleared – this includes homes, schools, fields and gardens, and clinics other community spaces. In both Menbij and Jarablus, DCA will focus their activities in the most contaminated parts of the towns and surrounding areas. In order to address the different needs and risky behaviours of boys, girls, men and women, DCA and its partner will adapt RE messages to the target population. Shelter-to-shelter RE sessions will target family units living in contaminated areas or planning to return to contaminated areas. Safety messages will be shared by Imams in Mosques after prayers, mainly targeting the men in the community. DCA will also reach out to community leaders and representatives to organize RE sessions specifically for young men – a demographic that is often overlooked in Risk Education responses. Men are often involved in rubble removal and usually the first to return to a house to check what family assets have survived - thus putting them at great risk of IED accidents. Survey information about contamination levels will be shared with community members, local authorities and with UNMAS.
The Child Protection awareness campaign will target children, their care givers and the local community in general. Various media will be used for the campaign with child protection messages tailored to the specific audience. The awareness campaign will focus on vital child protection messages, as agreed by the members of the child protection sub cluster.
Emergency Food Assistance to People Affected by Crisis in Syria According to the 2017 Humanitarian Needs Overview, 13.5 million people in Syria are in need of various
forms of humanitarian assistance, of which 7 million people are food insecure and an additional two million are at risk of food insecurity.	
	
	

	
			
Following the UN Security Council Resolution 2258 (2015), which authorized humanitarian cross border deliveries from Turkey, WFP has increased its operational footprint to reach food insecure people in areas not accessible from inside Syria. The WFP Syria Cross Border Office in Turkey and its partners deliver food and nutrition assistance to three governorates including Aleppo, Idleb, and Hama.

Following nearly five months of besiegement of Eastern Aleppo City, during which humanitarian access for 275,000 people was virtually cut off, a ceasefire agreement was secured on 15 December 2016. At the time of proposal writing, evacuees continue to stream out of EAC and into Aleppo and Idlib Governorates. Since the first day of the evacuation, the WFP Cross-Border Office and its partners have been distributing ready-to-eat rations (RTEs) which have been prepositioned inside Syria. As of 19 December, over 4,000 RTEs have been distributed to evacuees of EAC In addition, RTE distributions are also ongoing in response to displacement out of Rural Damascus and into Idleb, following an agreement between Government and opposition forces to evacuate ‘undesirables.’ The RTEs will also be available to anticipated displacements from Raqqa governorate.

WFP requests sufficient funding to procure 371 mt of RTEs for immediate distribution to newly arrived evacuees coming from Eastern Aleppo as well as for any sudden displacements and surges in humanitarian needs within Aleppo, Idleb, and Hama. In addition, WFP will procure 1,017 prepacked food parcels for a one-month general food assistance in camps in Dana (Idleb, Harim). 

In total, WFP appeals for US$1.7 million HPF grant to procure 371 mt of RTEs – sufficient for 157,761 beneficiaries - and 1,017 pre-packed food parcels sufficient for 78,880 beneficiaries (total: 236,641 beneficiaries) .
Emergency health care services for conflict-affected populations in Aleppo governorate With the intensification of conflict resulting in mass population displacements, the following project is proposed, to address the urgent health care needs and reduce preventable mortality and morbidity of the conflict affected population in the northern Syrian district of Azaz for 3 months.
Establish access to primary health care services for IDPs:
1.)	2 mobile primary health care clinics will be established in the IDP camps of Azaz sub-district to ensure access to basic healthcare services to an estimated 14,000 IDP catchment population. The mobile clinics will be integrated into a functional referral system and will include reproductive health care as well as public health and preventive measures through outreach, health education and disease screenings by community health care workers. 
2.)	2 stationary PHC will be established in two IDP camps along the Turkish border for an estimated 20,000 IDP catchment population. The PHC will be integrated into a functional referral system and will include reproductive health care as well as public health and preventive measures through outreach, health education and disease screenings by community health care workers.
Strengthen the referral system and secondary level health care:
3.)	The ambulance system needs to be strengthened through the purchase of 2 new vehicles and medical equipment, as well as financing salaries and running costs for the transport of seriously ill and trauma patients to secondary level health care facilities for an estimated total of 250 patient transfers for the 3-month period 
4.)	Because of two hospitals damaged and out of service in northern Aleppo governorate, the Bab Al Salama hospital is experiencing a significant increase of patient referrals. A new pediatric unit will be created at the Bab Al Salama hospital, which is located in relative safety near the Turkish border.
Ensure good nutrition and psycho-social support to the most vulnerable IDPs:
5.)	In 3 IDP camps IYCF-E and PSS services will be established for a total of approximately 32,000 catchment population.

Long-term funding will be sought to ensure the continuation of health care services for the conflict affected population after 3 months
Provision of PHC, RH, Nutrition, IMCI, Trauma, and Dialysis Advanced Health Care Services in Northern Syria The project aims at addressing the health needs of host communities and IDPs, and contributing to saving lives in Idleb governorate, given the deteriorated health services in the area that is densely populated with IDPs from all over the country, and which is being ceaselessly bombarded. This will be done through supporting three main facilities, Orient Advanced PHC Center in Idleb city including its dialysis department, SEMA Trauma Hospital in Kafar Takhareem sub-district, and SEMA’s Dialysis Center in Salqeen sub-district. In addition, the project will link SEMA’s dialysis center with Orient’s Advanced PHC department of dialysis with the purpose of enhancing the referral system and maintaining this important service. By supporting these health facilities, Orient will maintain the provision of a comprehensive and essential package of medical services in the area, including primary health care, reproductive health, nutrition, IMCI, dialysis, and trauma services.
Emergency response to early recovery needs of the Internally Displaced People affected by conflict in northern Aleppo, Syria The proposed project will respond to the immediate food needs of the most vulnerable people affected by crisis in Syria. The proposed intervention would be a life-saving measure in the current humanitarian context of Syria by targeting 20,000 individuals through provision of food. This proposed intervention specifically targets conflict-affected internally displaced people and vulnerable populations in northern countryside of Aleppo Governorate, specifically Aza'z sub-district. The ongoing conflict in Syria have resulted in massive displacements, a breakdown in basic social services and infrastructure, and an erosion of food security and agricultural opportunities, especially for the affected population in northern countryside of Aleppo areas. This intervention aims to strengthen food security and resilience of vulnerable households through distribution of ready to eat rations, provision of flour and running cost for local bakeries, and distribution of fresh free bread. Nutrition and hygiene issues are well integrated into the project to support the improvement of household diet diversity and food consumption.

HAI will implement the project through local NGO partner and will conduct a monitoring process to ensure best efficiency of using cash transfer programming as a modality to deliver support to the target beneficiaries.

A careful weighing of the risks associated with providing such support will be undertaken to ensure that no harm comes to beneficiaries or field staff. HAI recognizes the need to establish an evidence-base for food security programming inside Syria, and will thus invest significantly in a monitoring framework and build partner capacity for food security interventions, while targeting a caseload that is realistic given the volatility of the target areas.
Responding to urgent food needs for new Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) affected by conflict in northern Syria. In order to address the urgent food needs in areas affected by new IDP movements and concentration, CARE with its Syrian partner Shafak will provide Food Baskets, containing bread and Ready to Eat Rations (RTER),  to new Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in the Districts of Afrin and Daret Azza in the western Aleppo Governorate.
Ready to use food baskets for emergency response in Azaz and Daret Azza The last military actions in northern rural Aleppo divided the area into two parts, one of them is Azaz district, the other one is Daret azza district which is more accessible than Azaz for humanitarian aids, this fact led most of NGO's to focus on Daret azza rather than Azaz, Our outreach officers in both areas reported us that there are more than 2395 of displaced households in Daret Azza and 5770 HH in Azaz depend on the donations from the host community which increase the poverty in those areas, on the other hand most of organisations worked in Daret azza focused on food baskets that can last only for 3-7 days as an emergency response.
Our project aims to distribute ready to use food baskets which can last for 14 days in both areas (Daret azza and Azaz) for 8165 households, These food baskets contained various nutritional values (Sugars, protein, vitamin, energy ,water), our outreach and MampE officers will implement all the activities of the project right as scheduled.
Providing Equitable and Quality Education and Psychosocial Support to Syrian School-Aged Boys and Girls in the North of Syria This action aims to support 3,215 school-aged boys and girls (between 6-18 years old) with essential access to quality education in 10 currently operating PIN supported schools in Aleppo Governorate in the north of Syria.

While being carefully coordinated among other education actors operating in Syria and in-line with a number of education strategies, this action aims to take the lead on providing a strategically sound Education in Emergencies (EiE) programme with a strong component in resilience and sustainability through cooperating with Local Councils and schools.

Ultimately, this action aims to help prevent a lost generation of Syrian children and youth within Syria and ensure that, despite the constraints in an insecure environment, Syrian school-aged boys and girls do not miss out on essential quality education.
