Renovation of moderate damaged houses  in classified as Green Buildings in East Aleppo as agreed upon by the SWG Rescate is planning to renovate 327 apartments in the areas of intervention in Aleppo Governorate as the SWG and the Governorate agree upon for this intervention to accommodate returnees and people who stayed in their homes and aim at supporting dignified living conditions for the population at their homes.

The basic standards will include as per the SWG standard BOQs, Rescate will abide to change accordingly if the WG decides different stadard BOQ:
a. Individual Houses / Apartments

For each family, this approach should address repairing the following:

1.	Two rooms of suitable area size for each family consists of up to 5 members, and more rooms in case of bigger families. Internal one water/ sanitation facility including wc, bathroom, and kitchen, this includes piping and fixtures. Sufficient lighting and electrical points in the repaired rooms.

b. Buildings

For each building, this response should address repairing the following:

1.	Safety measures in common areas, such as entrance, staircases, and roofs. The safety measures are mainly to repair broken necessary parts, and to replace / repair lighting. Connection of the building to the main networks: sewage, water supply, and electricity.

Rescate will implement the project directly through a local contractor under the supervision of an established Project Management Unit (PMU) and close coordination with the shelter sector and local authorities.
Selection Process amp Criteria

The selection process include three main pillars:

1. Zone selection: the area, which, will be targeted with this response, has to be cleared from all kind of UXOs and mines and declared as safe area, where its displaced population can go back to their homes.
2. Building selections: will be the responsibility of the relevant authorities,(Governorate and/or MoLA).Selected buildings are partially damaged and structurally safe
3. Family selection: will be the responsibility of the relevant authorities, (Governorate and/or MoLA). The family shall have legal entitlements to occupy the apartment, so it will be either owners or tenants.
Rescate will coordinate closely with the formal authorities (Governorate and/or MoLA) who committed to provide to the concerned working entity (Rescate) a list of beneficiaries, specifying families and buildings/apartments location. With this list, Rescate assumes no responsibility towards structural safety of the buildings instead, for family’s eligibility Rescate can conduct a second round of verification of the list. This exercise aims to check beneficiaries’ compatibility to the selection criteria, and accordingly define accepted beneficiaries out of the list.
In case Rescate doubts the structural stability of a building, we will officially refer back to the Governorate for an official re-assessment. This referral will take place prior to the implementation of any intervention. Through coordination within the sector, sub-national sector, and authorities, Rescate will try to best extent possible to have its project as comprehensive as possible. Therefore, it will try to address a complete zone of one street if possible. The scale of the zone was chosen depending on the fund available for this project’s phase. Moreover, in all cases, Rescate tried to have complete buildings (all apartments in a building) to repair, to avoid having various standards in addressing the same building.
