Increasing food security and enhancing livelihoods of IDPs and the Host Communities in Jisr Ash-shugur through agriculture inputs vouchers ISWA proposed project aims to increase food security and enhancing livelihoods of IDPs and Host Communities in two areas in Idleb - Jisr Ash-shugur: 
1. (600 HHs in Alwastani mountain villages Western Marj Akhdar, Eastern Marj Akhdar, Ein Elsoda, Kniset Nakhleh, Bsheiriyeh) by distribute vouchers of (wheat seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides). To plant 2400 dunum by wheat.
2. (500 HHs in southern rural of Jisr Ash-shugur Bzeit, Marj Elzohur, Sali, Maalaqa, Frikeh,) by distribute vouchers of (chickpea seeds, fertilizers, and pesticides). To plant 2000 dunum by chickpea, during agricultural season 2016 – 2017. For the most vulnerable households.

ISWA needs assessments has identified significant need for both IDPs and host families who have lost productive crop agriculture due to ongoing conflict or displacement, and as a result of reduced purchasing power and incomes that hinder food security. It is critical to support these households to begin to restore lost agriculture crops as main source of livelihoods, and enhancing the resilience thus enabling them to have increased food availability through personal production, as well as a small income for increased food access.

Key interventions of project will include: 
1- Provision vouchers to buy agricultural inputs, accompanied by related agricultural extension.
2- Capacity building targeting women and community.
3- Follow-up the farmers during the production cycle of the crops.

ISWA planning to implementing the project through: 
1. Targeting 600 family HHs in Alwastani mountain villages (1440 female and 1560 male), approximately (624 men, 576 women, 864 girls, and 936 boys) provide them of (wheat seed vouches, 2 types of fertilizer vouchers, 3 types of pesticide vouchers).
2. Targeting 500 family HHs in southern rural of Jisr Ash-shugur (1225 female and 1275 male), approximately (510 men, 490 women, 735 girls, and 765 boys) provide them vouchers of (chickpea seed vouchers, 2 types of fertilizer vouchers, 3 types of pesticide vouchers).

Beneficiaries HHs will receive 6 types of vouchers and redeem their vouchers against agricultural inputs, at local markets contracted by ISWA. ISWA will hold awareness sessions with the traders and all beneficiaries to explain the voucher redeeming mechanisms and to sensitize them to the list of authorized agricultural inputs.

Throughout the duration of the project a market monitoring system will be put in place in all targeted areas. This system will be utilized to analyze the mechanisms of local markets supplying to check beneficiaries redeeming their vouchers, and to ensure that the project does not disrupt markets systems. ISWA monitors will gather information for the market monitoring during spot checks monitoring visits at the local shops involved in the project. Traders will be warned ahead of the project start that spot checks can be conducted by ISWA so as to discourage any forms of corruption. 
ISWA will also establish a complaint mechanism (hotline), and a participatory monitoring system through working with local authorities, beneficiary representatives, and women’s institutions (to ensure gender mainstreaming), to ensure that beneficiaries can quickly report any complaints that they have on a specific supplier to mitigate the risks of fraud. 
ISWA will identify, verify and profile target beneficiaries through community leader, Volunteer and local council. ISWA's criteria for selecting beneficiaries consider vulnerable people, including IDPs, host communities, and female headed HHs as priority.
The draft distribution of agriculture inputs vouchers will be in November 2016 To prepare agriculture, project will conduct surveillance after planting and provision technical advice and periodic follow-up necessary by ISWA agronomist.
