Provision of better dignified shelters and winterization assistance to the most vulnerable people in NW Syria (under Envelope 1) **Mercy-USA for Aid and Development in this project will support the most vulnerable people in NW Syria in two components:

1-Provision of better dignified shelter solution by piloting innovative shelter approach which comprises steel metal frame and sandwich panels (total shelter unit size21.8 sq. meter) in one camp “AL Hussein” in Idleb sub-district to accommodate 335 HH, 1710 individuals (Men 203- Women 301- Boys 586- Girls 620)  with ramp in each shelter unit ensure accessibility for people with disabilities in all shelter units and facilities, privacy, and safety for all vulnerable groups. 
Gravelling will be provided to the shelter ground with thickness of 15 cm with compaction and  humidification for appropriate installation for shelter units
Furthermore, Mercy-USA will install 16 special ceramic latrines from the Turkish type with handrails (8 for males and 8 for females) for persons with disability to access the facilities.

Shelter units will be purchased from Turkish Red Crescent (TRC) and will be delivered in packs to Syria. The shelter units will be installed by daily workers using cash for work. On the other hand, infrastructure preparations including gravelling, ramps, PWD latrines and handrails will be done through contractor

2-Cash for winter (150 USD) for each HH one-off during January and February 2022 in Afrin sub-district in addition to new shelter approach beneficiaries in the same camp in Idleb sub-district 
Total number of beneficiaries who will be targeted will be 2348 HH - 13,618 individuals (Men 1613- Women 2400- Boys 4668- Girls 4937) by using cash modality for implementation as blanket distribution in the targeted IDP site “AL Hussein” while applying selection criteria based on the vulnerability status to select to the most vulnerable in Afrin sub-district.

**Accountability to Affected population (AAP) will be given high priority in this project by communications and sharing information with beneficiaries during all project phases, as well as using complaints and feedback mechanism which is accessible to all beneficiaries especially the most vulnerable such as persons with disabilities, the elderly, women and girls, thus taking corrective actions based on need.

**HLP documents will be given high attention, so all HLP documents for all selected camp should be available to be cleared. 

** Furthermore, MEAL plan will be for all project stages such as verification of vulnerability assessment, distribution monitoring, PDM, with using different MEAL tools.

**Reporting will be on timely basis according to the priority, ex., narrative report will be interim and final, while other reports will be on a weekly basis.
Envelope 1: Provision of Secondary Health Care and Emergency Services through Supporting an Existing Surgical Unit in Ariha Sub-District. This project aims to contribute in Improve access to critical life-saving secondary healthcare services including (trauma management, in-patient, and referral) to highly vulnerable people in the frontline area. The project goal will be achieved through continuing to support an existing health facility (Ariha Surgical Unit - facility code: G0705061), which is the only health facility providing trauma management and general surgeries services in Ariha sub-district. The facility is currently fully well equipped and fully supported by Shafak till the end of December 2021. 

Building on the already established and equipped facility, experienced teams, Shafak will continue providing proposed health services focusing on the most vulnerable of women, boys, girls, and PwDs. The services also include providing essential medicines and medical supplies and will be implemented in line with WHO guidelines (Pillar 9 of COVID 19 Preparedness and Response Plan). Pillar 9 focuses on maintaining essential health services and systems during COVID-19 especially in the light of challenges to health sector budgets and overarching health system governance. 

The proposed activities will include the following components:

a) continue operating Ariha surgical unit in the proposed location with the needed operational costs, medical supplies, and medical staff, to make it capable of providing surgical interventions and stabilization care. Ariha surgical unit is proposed to receive beneficiaries from front-line areas and to provide the following activities: 

- Trauma management for injuries and acute medical emergencies requiring immediate surgical interventions (e.g. appendicitis, amputations, perforated ulcer, arterial injuries, head injuries, advanced trauma life support...etc.). 
- Surgical interventions and stabilization care before referral of emergency cases to advanced surgical hospitals in NWS or Turkey if needed. 
- Shafak proposed to focus more on inclusion especially for PWDs in the proposed project cycle, already equipped its facility with all assistive equipment and preparations to enhance the quality of services to be accessible by PWDs. The proposed health services are expected to reach 528 PWDs including 176 men, 96 women, 144 boys, and 112  girls.

b) linking the proposed facility with other facilities and continuing activating the referral system by continuing to operate an ambulance vehicle (currently existing in the facility and supported by Shafak till the end of 2021). Referrals include the medical emergency cases that need further management in surgical hospitals that efficiently treat advanced complicated cases. Referrals also can be to Turkey hospitals as appropriate. 

The proposed health services will target 12,000 people including 4,200 men, 3,000 women, 2,640 boys, and 2,160 girls.

This project will be implemented in a partnership between TRC and Mercy-USA (as sub-IP).

To have clear roles responsibilities for each partner we can explain as follows:

TRC Role:
1-TRC will purchase and deliver the shelter units from Turkey to Zero points in Cilvegozu-Bab Alhawa borders
2- Periodic Monitoring for all activities
3-Compile narrative and financial reports

Mercy-USA Role:
During the project design, Mercy-USA conducted a Need assessment to identify the exact needs and site management and topographic studies to calculate the BOQ needed
1-Mercy-USA will deliver shelter units from the zero points to the final destination, and install them through daily workers in the predetermined camps.
2-Mercy-USA will do all infrastructure preparations including Digging and backfilling soil, Extending the pipes: 4 inches from the toilet in each shelter to the septic tank and 6 inches from septic tanks to the main sewage network, Building investigation chamber, Graveling and Levelling: coarse gravel to diameter (1.6-3.2) cm and thickness 15 cm with compaction and humidification under the shelter units to elevate it above the ground with about 15 cm, and Rainwater collection: by using special pipes in the ceiling to harvest the rain to be collected in one tank between each two shelters
3- Day to day monitoring to ensure quality work is being implemented
4-Community outreach and sensitization
5-HLP due diligence
6-Regular narrative and financial reporting to be shared with TRC


Accountability to the affected population is a key component in this project, so PWD will be identified from the beginning to provide them with special toilets, handrails, as well as ramps to access the shelter.
Enhanced access to quality formal education and psychosocial-support services in high-need areas of Northwest Syria This project is designed to respond to the overall objective of providing access to inclusive, safe and quality learning environments for conflict-affected children in Northwest Syria. With such action, PIN will significantly contribute to the Allocation Strategic Objective 2, as well as Education Cluster-specific objectives through the provision of quality offline and online classes, distribution of all essential items and materials for high quality and safe learning (operational items, stationary and other learning and teaching materials, textbooks, etc.), as well as ensuring safe access to integrated PSS activities for all students. The action is focusing on locations at the highest need, targeting 7 formal schools supported by PIN and SCHF currently. The project aims to support learning and integrated child protection needs of 2000 boys and 2800 girls, as well as the professional development and basic livelihood of 240 school staff, responding to the highest needs identified by relevant assessments outlined in the below chapters. The project is covering 10 months, in line with the official school semester in the proposed location. PIN is committed to all humanitarian principles, Code of Conduct, Child protection, PSEA and other essential policies, having a robust Accountability system at place as well, ensuring a high quality project implementation in line with all the requirements of SCHF.
Envelope 1: supporting access to essential health and COVID-19 response services through PHC and RCCE programs The project aims at:

-	Sustaining access to primary healthcare services to the population of Zarzur community in northern Syria through Zarzur PHC center in order to provide adequate primary healthcare within the COVID-19 and health response to the IDPs and hosts in northern Idleb according to the revisited standard package of primary health care services adopted by the health cluster in Gaziantep and the IPC and case detection guidelines of the NWS COVID-19 taskforce.
-	Improving the COVID-19 response in highly affected subdistricts through innovative RCCE approaches.

Specifically, UDER proposes to:

1-	Continue providing PHC services with a focus on COVID-19 prevention, detection and referrals through Zarzour PHC!G0704018 (Idleb/ Jisr-Ash-Shugur/ Darkosh/ Zarzur). This component extends for 12 months.

2-	Implement critical components of the newly developed COVID-19 vaccine demand-generation plan by utilizing medical influencers, producing and disseminating testimonials from patients and vaccinated individuals, and using peer-influence through visible proof of vaccination in high COVID-19 affected subdistricts of Al Bab, Afrin, Idleb and Dana. This component extends for 6 months.
Ensuring safe and uninterrupted access between IDP sites and main cities in Northwest Syria The proposed intervention aims to contribute to the improved living conditions and resilience of conflict-affected households in Northwest Syria by enhancing access to basic services, main markets and livelihood opportunities. To achieve this objective, ACTED will conduct the rehabilitation of some of the main access roads serving camp clusters in Idleb and Northern Aleppo governorates. This will ensure that both IDPs residing in the camps and humanitarian agencies can access the camps in a safe and uninterrupted manner. The rehabilitation of the roads will notably improve the implementation of ACTED’s activities in camps such as the provision of water trucking, food and winterization activities. Additionally, the targeted roads will also contribute to improve market linkages between IDP sites, host communities and main markets, in order to facilitate greater market functionality and reduce dependence to in-kind assistance.

The road rehabilitation will be combined with the provision of income-generating opportunities to 225 vulnerable households residing in camps and settlements in Idleb and Northern Aleppo governorates. These households will support the rehabilitation of the roads, including drainage and road paving and asphalting. 

Overall, this project will support 122,388 IDPs and host community members (approximately 20,398 households) through the rehabilitation of 9 roads serving Kherbet-Aljowz and Qah camps areas in Idleb governorate and 7 camps in Aleppo governorate (A’zaz district). In addition, 225 vulnerable households will access income-generating opportunities through cash for work opportunities. This intervention will also complement ACTED’s intervention in Kaj area under alternative funding, by enhancing market linkages between the Kaj area and larger markets in nearby cities, for small and medium businesses supported through cash grants.
Emergency WASH Response to IDPs in Idleb Camps This project supports IDPs in the camps of Dana and Maret Tamsrin sub-districts by extension and construction of water infrastructure (water network, sewage network)  and connecting them to nearby borehole and water station, in addition to providing other WASH services in these camps based on their needs  in ordet to provide  comprehensive emergency life-saving package. In camps where it is not possible to be connected to water sources, there will be water trucking with FRC 0.2 - 0.5 so these people get lifesaving humaintarian assistance. sanitation facilities and mitigation measures against Covid-19. It aims to ensure that IDPs in the targeted camps can maintain or improve their hygiene behaviours, particularly for those who have settled in the camps as their last resort and are more vulnerable to the risks of Covid-19 pandemic. In total, 24,190 individuals (5,806 men, 6,047women, 6,533 boys, 5,804 girls) will benefit from the activities of this project. 


The project consists of five main activities:
1 - Providing chlorinated water and water storage tanks (average of 35 l/p/d, FRC 0.2 - 0.5)
2 - Expanding water network, and water drainage and sewage networks in camps.
3 - Providing and installing sanitation facilities (latrines and septic tanks) in addition to regular desludging.
4 - Solid waste management and hygiene sessions in all targeted camps
5 - Hygiene promotion activities.

The interventions are designed based on the needs that were reported through WASH cluster gap list in addition to confirming the needs by assessments conducted by HIHFAD. Throughout the project, COVID-19 mitigation procedures will be observed. Gender, age and disability inclusion will be taken into consideration. The latrine blocks are gender segregated and will be equipped with ramps and handrail to make them accessible to all people including people with disability. In addition, adults diapers will be distributed to the elderly or persons with disabilities who have a difficulty to access common latrines. male and female cleaners for the latrines and maintenance workers will be selected among the IDPs in the target camps in order to ensure involvement of IDPs during implementation as they were also involved during the design of the project through the needs assessment. In Damaet Nazeh and Sanabil Alkheir , desludging will be for 3 months, during this period the sewage network will be ready and all sewage lines are connected to it ( rain drainage will be constructed in these two camps. While in Al Faraj camp, sewage network will be expanded to cover all HHs, and the already existing water network will be expanded so no water trucking will be needed in this camp. Om Jaran and Alsalihyah camps will be targeted with lifesaving activities. before the beginning of winter all septic tanks will be desludged and regularly monitored to prevent any overflow(more details in detailed needs attached excel sheet).
Prevention and Control of Leishmaniasis in North-West Syria In order to address the high burden of leishmaniasis across northern Syria, the MENTOR Initiative will respond to the 2020 HRP Strategic Objective 1 “Provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on those in areas with high severity of needs” and the SCHF Allocation Strategic Objective 2 (ASO2) “Life-saving humanitarian assistance and protection to the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on underserved areas with high severity of needs” through providing services that protect people from leishmaniasis in Syria, a disease which has progressed to epidemic proportions in the last years. 

MENTOR proposes to implement the following activities:

1. Prevention of Visceral (VL) and Cutaneous Leishmaniasis (CL) transmission in a multitude of communities. MENTOR proposes to provide protection from sandfly bites and subsequent disease to 265,506 households / 1,539,942 beneficiaries through an Indoor Residual Spraying campaign (IRS) in areas of high leishmaniasis incidence. 

2. Information about leishmaniasis and its transmission to empower communities to protect themselves from leishmaniasis infection and disease. MENTOR will run a combined Information, Education and Communication / Behaviour Change Communication Campaign (IEC/BCC) to ensure households are empowered to prevent leishmaniasis transmission within their household/shelter. This will be done by various methods and delivery strategies, such as outreach activities, health sessions and training of community leaders, to maximise uptake and correct utilization of leishmaniasis prevention and case management services.

In addition to a large-scale IRS campaign in 2022, this proposal also includes a response to the high incidence of leishmaniasis in Atmeh, which will be an IRS campaign in 2021, targeting 200,000 Internally Displaced People.
Life Saving Food Security Assistance to the Most Vulnerable IDPs in Areas with the Greatest Severity of Needs The proposed action will address critical Food Security (FS) needs of 922 HHs / 4,610 acutely vulnerable Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in underserved informal settlements in areas of Maaret Tamsrin sub-district. Minimum food consumption needs of the most vulnerable IDPs will be sustained through repeat monthly food voucher assistance, with a total of eight rounds of FS provided over the course of the ten-month action in line with FSL cluster guidelines and the priorities of Strategic Objective Two (SO2). In line with cluster guidelines, each beneficiary HH will receive food vouchers valued at $60 per month for eight months. 100% beneficiary verification will be completed during June, with delivery of  eight, repeat monthly food vouchers distributions commencing from July. Reduced 2021 funding from the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) will result in reduced capacity to respond to FS needs in Big Hearts traditional Area of Operation (AoO) in Idleb, including Maaret Tamsrin sub-district. SCHF funding is urgently sought to address this gap.

The action will target the most vulnerable IDPs, specifically those most likely to be food insecure and those at greatest risk of protection concerns. The targeting strategy will place focus on IDP female-, child- and elderly-headed households, Persons with Disability (PWD), including Explosive Ordnance Victims (EOV) in addition to Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW). Considering the acute vulnerabilities of the target group, particular emphasis will be placed on ensuring assistance is delivered in a highly protective environment as detailed through-out this submission. Please see Beneficiary Selection Criteria and Targeting Strategy inclluded under Documents for more detail. The proposed action complements one-off emergency assistance delivered recently by Big Heart to IDPs in targeted settlements of Maaret Tamsrin by providing regular (monthly) food assistance to acutely vulnerable IDPs to sustain minimum food consumption and mitigate against protection risks.

The action is informed by a recent Needs Assessment completed by Big Heart during April 2021 which confirmed food is a priority and urgent need in the targeted informal settlements in Maaret Tamsrin. The assessment included interviews with IDPs, Key Informants (KIs) and vendors and also confirmed the viability of a cash-based to increase access to a range of food items – including fresh foods – and ensure maximum flexibility, choice and dignity for targeted beneficiaries, while also supporting local markets and the local economy. The April 2021 Need Assessment found no protection risks associated with accessing local markets, however did record high reliance on negative coping strategies to meet food needs. The selection of a cash-based approach also builds on monitoring, learning and evaluation drawn from Big Hearts seven years’ experience with FS programming, which indicated significant beneficiary preference for a cash-based approach when local markets will support.
Envelope 1: Support the Gaps in Primary and Secondary Health Care in Idleb and Raju The proposed project aims to enhance the access to critical life-saving and life-sustaining primary and secondary healthcare services to extremely vulnerable IDPs and Host Communities in both Idleb and Aleppo Governorates, which is performed through supporting the provision of specialized internal and intensive care services in Idleb Central Hospital, and CEmONC and child health amp nutrition services in Raju Hospital. The proposed start date is the first of February 2022 and will last for 11 months. HeRAMS codes: G0700043!Idlib central hospital (Idlib National in the past) and B0203095! Raju Hospital.
 
Strengthening the internal medicine services would fulfill the massive current gaps in the specialized internal services in Idleb City and the surrounding communities, which was a concerning issue for the Health Cluster and Idleb Health Directorate as the support came to an end for the largest hospital that was the prime provider for these services in Idleb City threatening the lives of thousands of patients with chronic diseases and critical health conditions. Consequently, the only destination for patients who seek these services will be Idleb Central Hospital, supported by SAMS through other fundings. This hospital won’t be able to absorb the high caseload of the internal medicine specialties (OPD, IPD, and ICU) due to budget limitations since the hospital funding was reduced significantly this year. Currently, the hospital is providing surgical services with limited internal medicine OPD services. SAMS through this project is proposing to expand and support specialized internal services in Idleb Central Hospital, which is pre-equipped with the required internal medicine medical equipment such as monitors, ventilators, suction machines, lab, and radiology …etc. aiming to respond duly to the needs and fulfill the gap.
 
Furthermore, SAMS had and is still driven by its desire to assist the most vulnerable groups mainly women and children, and thus is proposing to support both CEmONC and child health services in the pre-existing Raju Hospital, which is equipped with trained medical staff and medical equipment for labor and delivery rooms, operating rooms, in-patient, and newborn care to meet the needs exist in Raju sub-district, and which had been identified as a gap by the Health Cluster, and the SRH-TWG. Raju Hospital was planned to be supported by the BHA-funded consortium, SAMS is coordinating with the donor to shift the support to other facilities, identified as gaps, however, they are not covered by the allocation because of their geographical locations (Al Atareb Hospital and Kafr Deryan PHC).
 
Over the project period, SAMS will financially support the medical and non-medical staff’s salaries in addition to the facility running cost, consumables, medications, some medical equipment, minor maintenance and rehabilitation, and any other needed materials, while technically the staff will be provided with training, mentorship, and supervision.

SAMS will be able to reach 35200, of the 22440 female, 12760 male, 3124 girls, and 3740 boys.
