Improve access to residential buildings for returnees and residents with a focus on female headed households in Homs Governorate Building on the lessons learned from UN Habitat’s previous SHF projects in Aleppo City, concerns around the safety of their building are mentioned as the main challenges facing returnees and in particular female headed households in the more damaged neighborhoods of cities. Specifically, potentially structurally damaged buildings (i.e. classified as ‘yellow’ by the Syndicate of Engineers) require detailed technical assessments to determine if they are safe or not.
At the same time, those residential buildings with potential structural damage, if not reinforced, pose a significant public safety risk from collapse to neighboring buildings and the community.  
Individual families, and female headed households in particular, that have returned or intend to return are not able to conduct this level of assessment or reinforcement works.
Therefore, UN Habitat proposes to support (1) the detailed technical structural assessment and (2) reinforcement of 30 of the most at-risk ‘yellow buildings’ to support 150 vulnerable families (750 individuals) who would otherwise be residing in structurally unsafe buildings.

The Project will be implemented in Ar-Rastan and Talbiseh in Homs Governorate, and is expected to directly benefit 750 returnees and residents.

 The project includes several phases and activities including:
1.	Rapid field assessment of residential buildings to classify the level of damage in each location.
2.     Coordination with MOLAE, Municipality, Shelter Sector and communities to identify the most vulnerable areas.
3.     Syndicate of Engineers to conduct detailed structural damage assessment of 30 of the most at-risk 'Yellow' buildings 
4.     Reinforcement of the 30 at-risk 'Yellow' buildings so they are assessed and structurally safe.
Provide and extend life-saving WASH assistance to new IDPs, returnees and host communities of Rural Hama Syria is facing an unprecedented destruction of water facilities and other services due to the war. Today, according to the 2018 HRP 13,1 million people are in need of assistance and 5,2 million of them are facing acute humanitarian needs. During the past 7 years, access became a challenge for humanitarian actors due to security reasons and administrative obstacles, especially in Rural Areas. 
Since the beginning of the crisis, Hama governorate has been affected by conflict and witnessed intensified fighting in the second half of 2017 up to recently. Since then, it has been underserved and includes numerous hard-to-reach areas. 
In terms of WASH, the most common source of drinking water for IDPs and host communities alike is water trucking, generally provided by the Water board. 
Indeed, in Hama governorate as a whole, 45% of the primary drinking water comes from water trucking, 30% from existing networks, 21% from closed or open well. 4% of the population is also drinking rainwater and water from the river. In addition, REACH findings revealed that 55% of assessed communities and IDPs are modifying hygiene practices to cope with a lack of water, which calls for hygiene awareness sessions.
According to the assessment conducted by TGH and SARC staff in September 2018, the price of water in rural Hama varies from 1000 to 2000 Syrian pounds per m3 (while 1kg of bread costs 200 SYP), which entails additional burden for the families leaving in rural Hama, deprived of livelihoods and fallen into poverty due to the war and multiple displacements.
Rural Hama has therefore been identified by TGH as relevant for an intervention addressing non-responded acute needs and potential new emergency needs in the coming months.
The main findings of TGH need-based assessment led the Organization to propose a water and hygiene approach to respond to the most urgent needs in Harbanifse and Aqrab. 
The purpose of this project is to provide WASH assistance to under-served and hard-to-reach rural areas of Hama to 17.750 individuals, through combining life-saving and life sustaining humanitarian assistance (Wash facilities repairs, hygiene promotion and distribution of hygiene kits). With regards to the proximity of the targeted region with Idlib, the project has a contingency dimension, as it will benefit to potential new comers, beyond the immediate services it will provide to already identified beneficiaries.
Noteworthy is that the project has been approved by SARC, which contributed to the definition of its contents.
Kitchen support for IDPs in Shelters in East Ghouta. Since 11 March, 60,000 civilians fled East Ghouta in rural Damascus.

SARC is responsible on their reception at passage corridors, screening their medical status and protection issues including documentation and IDs. In addition to their transportation to shelters and tracking patient information. 

The number of people fleeing East Ghouta is expected to rapidly increase, SARC and the international humanitarian agencies reiterate that mass evacuations of civilians remain a last resort as per IHL and humanitarian principles. Civilians who opt to remain in East Ghouta are also assisted by SARC whenever possible, including access to humanitarian and basic services.  

IDPs are on daily basis transported from passage corridors and hosted at three main collective shelters: Dweir, Herjelleh, Adra and a number of schools were opened to receive them. SARC is responsible on serving IDPs at shelters on 24/7 basis through its volunteers and limited resources. SARC interviewed civilians at shelters including at Dweir collective shelter where they are in dire needs for all types of assistance (food assistance ,medical, PSS, NFIs and protection). Some health conditions (intestinal infections, hepatitis, skin disease…) due to long period of lack of access to healthcare. Most children and women suffered from scabies and lice and many are suffering from severe and moderate malnutrition. Herjelleh is another shelter where civilians are now flowing into hundreds on hourly basis, while SARC is offering all assistance to keep their temporary stay in dignity and good service.
Provision of  Lifesaving GBV services to the Crisis Affected Women and Girls from East Ghouta and Afrin Throughout the ongoing humanitarian emergencies in Syria, including in East Ghota and Afrin, UNFPA continues to provide integrated Reproductive Health (RH) and life saving comprehensive GBV services especially, psychosocial support, medical, legal counselling complementing by referral for more specialized services as the core approach for UNFPA GBV program. UNFPA supported national partners are already providing rapid response through integrated RH/GBV mobile services in the shelters,  hosting the crisis affected people from East Ghota and Efrin, but the needs is too high and dire and more life saving GBV interventions are crucial to respond to the rapidly changing situation of the shelters. Through this project,  UNFPA will provide comprehensive GBV life-saving services through GBV mobile teams to IDPs of Afrin in Tal Rafaat, Nubil and Zahra. Moreover, UNFPA will ensure complementarity with the services of other  UN sister agencies in the field as well as other UNFPA project planned for humanitarian response during 2018
Responding to immediate urgent humanitarian needs of the population displaced from East Ghouta and Afrin This revised proposal seeks immediate resources to address the most urgent life-saving needs of the population displaced from Eastern Ghouta and Afrin focusing on: 

-	Establishing and operating 3 fixed emergency health points (EHP) to provide primary health care (including mobilization of urgent referrals) in shelters in Rural Damascus. This considers the provision of first aid and ambulance services in 3 shelters
-	Installation of water points in the shelters and host communities in Aleppo for the IDPs from Afrin response 
-	Distribution of hygiene items such as diapers for children and adults to the population displaced from Afrin 

This action considers establishing interlinks with the hygiene promotion activities. With sustained basic WASH and health services, this project, also aim to enhance the level of preparedness for increased population influx, and for the duration of the response as situation will require. SARC continues to assess the needs of the population, and closely monitor the situation to adapt the response as such. 

This proposal also seeks to support SARC’s operational costs of the response related to the mobilization of  SARC volunteers.
Provision of Life-Saving GBV Services to the Crisis Affected Women and Girls in Dara’a and Quneitera governorates Throughout the ongoing humanitarian emergencies in Syria, including in Dara’a and Quneitera, UNFPA continues to provide integrated Reproductive Health (RH) and life-saving comprehensive Gender-Based Violence (GBV) services especially, psychosocial support, health, legal counselling complemented by referral for more specialized services as the core approach for UNFPA GBV programme. UNFPA supported national partners are already providing rapid response through integrated RH/GBV mobile services in the Dara’a humanitarian corridors and shelters, hosting the crisis affected people. The needs are still very dire and more life-saving GBV interventions are crucial to respond to the needs of the areas were before under the Non-governmental groups including ISIS, in both Dara’a and Quneitera where women and adolescent girls are the primary victims of GBV mainly the early marriage. Through this project, UNFPA Syria will provide comprehensive GBV life-saving services through the establishment of 2 Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSS) in Dara’a and Quneitera cities and 4 integrated GBV/RH mobile teams to cover rural areas in Dara’a and Quneitera in addition to the distribution of dignity kits. UNFPA will ensure complementarity with the services of other UN sister agencies in the field as well as other UNFPA project planned for humanitarian response during 2018 and 2019.
To strengthen the provision of essential package of health care services to vulnerable groups and IDPs in Deir-ez-zor, Northern Rural Homs and QunaiteraT. Based on the health priorities in the HRP for 2018, WHO aims through this proposal to alleviate the health burden on conflict-affected populations in selected areas focusing on newly-accessible ones, by  deploying mobile medical teams and clinics to provide comprehensive health care services for people in need.
Supporting Conflict-affected  Population in Syria with Better Access to Quality Education PUI through the proposed project will contribute to Education sector objectives, more specifically :
Sector objective 1 :Increase access to education for crisis-affected children through : 
- Conducting Back To Learning campaigns and community-based awareness-raising sessions on the importance of education and the availability of services,
- Provide school aged children with school bags and stationary  
- Rehabilitation of schools.

Sector Objective 2 : Improve the quality of formal and non-formal education within a protective environment by :
- Providing capacity building specialized training to MoE educational personnel and staff, on Active learning methods and psychological social support.
Increasing safe and equitable access to formal education for crisis-affected children in Syria For more than seven years children have been the direct targets of violence, witnessed violence, or committed violent acts themselves. As per the last estimations, 5.3 million children remain in need of some type of humanitarian assistance [HNO, 2018]. The short and long-term impacts of these experiences differ for each child and are influenced by a range of resilience and vulnerability factors. Such factors can include a child’s age, their care arrangements, and any previous exposure to violence. Researches also revealing the long-term neurological impacts of children’s repeated exposure to violence, which can lead to toxic stress. To aggravate the contextual situation, there are 5.8 million school-aged children and youth from pre-school to secondary age, and over 300,000 education personnel, in need of sectoral-humanitarian assistance. The project aims at  increasing the access to a protective, safe, and conducing learning environment among crisis-affected children and teachers in three formal elementary schools (Arabic-curricula) of Hassakeh-city. It builds on a two-pronged strategy. The first pillar seeks to provide protective and safe learning environments through small-scale rehabilitation, including gender-sensitive WASH facilities, combined with the provision of  learning supplies. The second pillar works in parallel and aims at ensuring conducive learning environments through capacity building of teachers on pyscho-social support. Schools and teachers can facilitate children’s recovery from trauma, having a significant impact on their student’s well-being. The purpose of the psychosocial component of the project essentially, is enhancing the skills and competencies of teachers to support the psychosocial recovery of crisis -affected children to understand, identify and refer children with symptoms of various psychological and behavioral problems to trauma therapy. This effort is crucial to allow longer-term progamming. As outcome, the project seeks to increase access to protective, safe, and conducing learning environments for 12,060 crisis-affected children and 300 teachers in Hassakeh.  Finally, the project will be implemented directly by AAH, which has the capacity to start the implementation immediately, counting on the full-access to the facilities targeted.
Emergency WASH assistance for internally displaced people in Eastern Ghouta and Afrin displacement sites This project will provide life-saving WASH support to people displaced from Eastern Ghouta, and Afrin in coordination with other actors. With access to displacement sites in critical need of WASH facilities in both Rural Damascus and northern Aleppo through the Ministry of Local Administration (MoLA) and Ministry of Social Affairs and Labour (MoSAL), DRC stands ready to begin activities for this project as soon as it is funded. The immediate basic needs on ground for internally displaced persons (IDPs), as reported through the WASH sector includes latrines, showers, and sanitation. The targeted beneficiary populations are living in collective shelters with little or no existing WASH infrastructure in place. Latrines and showers will be rapidly installed to: prevent the outbreak of life-endangering diseases including cholera, tetanus, and typhoid protect the privacy and safety in the collective shelters address the medical needs of people from Eastern Ghouta who have been wearing the same clothes for over one month and alleviate psycho-social distress caused by defection/urination in the open and inability to clean oneself. The project accords with the WASH sector’s emergency WASH strategy providing safe living conditions for people displaced from Eastern Ghouta/Afrin including the provision of a minimum emergency standard of 1 latrine per 100 people and provision of garbage bins (200 litres per bin serving 20 families). It will together with the interventions of other actors create a safe environment for other humanitarian activities in the sectors of education and child protection to be delivered. Project locations will remain flexible to enable DRC to respond to the most critical needs expected sites are in Harjeleh, Adra, Nashabiyeh, Dweir, and Al-Karmak in Rural Damascus, and within Nobbol and Zahra in Aleppo. All activities will take place within collective shelters.
Houses repairing and NFI's distribution for distressed families in Syria The Project will rehabilitate 300 damaged houses for returnees and hosts and will provide rolling beds (reinforced sleeping bags) and winter boots to families that are in dire need in targeted locations in Aleppo Province.
Ensure the care and protection of children and adolescents affected by conflict The project will ensure first-line child protection response to displaced children and families from East Ghouta and Afrin, currently hosted in collective shelters in Rural Damascus and in areas around Rural Aleppo respectively. 
Child protection initiatives will target displaced children to help them regain normal social function, address children’s urgent protection concerns associated with displacement, separation from parents and caregivers among others and ensure measures to prevent further child protection risks. 

The initial child protection intervention will include basic psychosocial support for children and care-givers, identification of children with protection needs, with particular focus on separated and unaccompanied children, family tracing and reunification, including measures to prevent separation and reduce children’s exposure to further risks through awareness initiatives.

Implementation of the project activities will rely on partnership with UN agencies, INGO and national partners, including agencies with statutory functions. UNICEF shall provide technical assistance to implemeting partners to ensure quality of services and coordinated response to address diverse needs of children with protection needs.
Project for Upgrading and REhabilitating WASH (PURE WASH) The Project for Upgrading and Rehabilitating (PURE) WASH was designed to respond to the critical and urgent WASH needs in highly vulnerable communities in newly-accessible areas within the governorates of Homs (Northern Rural Homs), Quneitra and Dara’a. This project responds to the high level of damage to the infrastructure in vulnerable communities who, after a prolonged period of conflict, do not have access to safe and sufficient drinking water and adequate sewerage systems. This project aims to increase the resilience of vulnerable, conflict-affected communities, targeting a total of 104,000 individuals. To achieve this end, ADRA will provide a medium-term response through the rehabilitation of drinking water systems and damaged sewerage and sanitation systems in the three targeted governorates of Quneitra and Dara’a and Homs. This will be achieved in a participatory manner taking into consideration the varying needs of men, women, boys and girls, as well as people with specific vulnerabilities. Extensive coordination has also taken place with various stakeholders to avoid overlap of activities, harmonize approaches and prioritize the most vulnerable communities.
Provision of health services to most vulnerable Palestine refugees in South-West and Central Syria This project aims at providing health services to Palestine refugees in south and central areas in locations that are assessed as most in need (marked with severity scale 4 to 6). A total of 49,001 Palestine refugees in South West (Dar'a and Quneitra), and Central Syria (Homs and Hama) will benefit from primary health care services offered through four UNRWA health clinics in Dar'a city, Muzeirib, Homs city, and Hama city, in addition to one mobile clinic deployed in South West Syria for beneficiaries who are unable to access health clinics either because they live in very remote areas or for groups with specific vulnerabilities: pregnant women, persons with disabilities, and aged persons. This project will also cover the hospitalization costs for Palestine refugees referred to receive secondary and tertiary healthcare services. 

More specifically, this project will cover:
- staffing cost for one mobile clinic and health clinics (Muzeirib and Dar'a) in the South West for the period of six months (primary healthcare)
- cost of drugs for one mobile clinic in the South West and four health clinics in Dar'a, Muzeirib, Homs, and Hama for the period of six months (primary healthcare)
- cost of lab supplies for four health clinics in Dar'a, Muzeirib, Homs, and Hama  for the period of six months (primary healthcare)
- cost of hospital referral for secondary and tertiary health  care services  for the period of six months (assuming 2% of the whole population will be referred during the project period)
Schools Capacity strengthening through rehabilitating existing spaces and providing furniture in Quneitra The purpose of this project is provide much needed rehabilitation, maintenance, and furnishing of schools in selected communities in Quneitra.  The overall objective of the project is to ensure that students have access to a stable and appropriate educational environment to increase the probability that they have the opportunity to complete their education.

The project will target primary, middle, and high schools in Nabe Elsakher and Bir Ajam, reaching a total of 2,560 boys and girls.
Delivery of Lifesaving Health Assistance to the Crisis Affected Women and Girls in Deir-ez-Zor,Dar’a and Quneitera Throughout the ongoing humanitarian emergencies in Syria, UNFPA continues to provide integrated Reproductive Health (RH) and Gender-Based Violence (GBV) services including family planning supplies and counselling, gynecological consultation, pregnancy care, antenatal care including supplements, post-natal care, psychosocial support and referral for deliveries and comprehensive emergency obstetric and neonatal care. UNFPA and national partners are on the ground to meet the dire needs and to respond to the rapidly changing situation in the country, including in the targeted governorates. Throughout this project, UNFPA will ensure the delivery of life-saving reproductive health services to the crisis affected people, especially women and girls, in Deir-ez-Zor, Dara’a and Quneitera.

UNFPA will ensure complementary  with other UN sister agencies to support services in the field in addition to other UNFPA project planned for humanitarian response during 2019.
Support for life-saving health interventions for the most acute needs in under-served areas of Deir-ez-Zor, Ar Raqqa, The project will serve children (girls and boys) and women with a package of essential health services, mainly through mobile medical teams (MMTs) run through a combination of partners including local NGOs, faith-based organizations, and dDirectorates of health in the targeted districtsareas. The medical teams are composed of specialized physicians, pediatricians, nurses and midwives who will provide the core package of primary care, including the provision of basic consultations, treatment of communicable diseases, and health education to vulnerable children and women in prioritized locations with severe unmet needs for health care services. The teams will also screen children and women to check their nutrition status and identify cases that need to be referred to specialized nutrition centers for treatment and follow-up. In addition, they will provide health education for key child survival behaviours to caregivers, such as on breastfeeding and young child feeding practices, and referral of missed children for routine immunization. The complicated medical cases will be referred to more specialized level of health care, including children with disabilities.
A special attention will be focused on Deir-ez-Zor to scale up integrated health promotion interventions as part of the PHC package for the control of outbreaks of communicable diseases. This governorate has in recent times been at the center of outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases (polio and measles), water-borne (watery and bloody diarrhea) and typhoid fever amongst others. The ongoing limited interventions in this domain must be intensified to save lives and prevent continuous spread to surrounding governorates. An estimated 59,000 direct beneficiaries will be targeted for this intervention living in severity scale 4-5-6 areas in the two targeted governorates.
