Monthly Emergency Food Assistance With this project, WFP is aiming to procure and distribute family food rations enough to cover the food needs of 90,000 people (45,990 women and 44,010 men) under the general food assistance (GFA) programme over a period of six months. For this allocation, WFP is proposing to use this funding for Ar-Raqqa sub-district of Ar-Raqqa governorate, identified as one of the areas with the highest severity of needs by the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), WFP’s 2019 national Food Security Assessment/Food Security and Livelihoods Assessment (FSA/FSLA) and the Food Security Sector (FSS). 

As per WFP assessments, 69 percent of the total population in Ar-Raqqa subdistrict are food insecure, making it the subdistrict with the highest food needs in the governorate.  Furthermore, as per WFP’s Vulnerability Analysis and Mapping (VAM), Ar-Raqqa is one of the governorates with the highest increase in the price of the standard food basket (up 229 percent year-on-year), which is further affecting the existing food insecurity in the area. Ar-Raqqa governorate also concentrates some of the highest food insecurity prevalence both in terms of moderate and severe food insecurity according the to WFP’s 2019 national household-level Food Security Assessment (FSA) and Food Security and Livelihood Assessment (FSLA). The 2019 SMART survey results showed that Ar-Raqqa governorate ranks among the highest in terms of micronutrient deficiencies, with anaemia prevalence affecting 50% of women in child bearing age and 42 percent of children under 5 years of age. These statistics go to show that sustained food insecurity over time is affecting the dietary diversity and health conditions of vulnerable population groups.
Cash Assistance for Syrian Households (CASH) Project The Cash Assistance for Syrian Households (CASH) Project will provide approximately 3,000 households (15,000 individuals including 4,050 men, 4,350 women, 3,300 boys and 3,300 girls) with multipurpose cash assistance in Damascus and Rural Damascus to cover basic lifesaving and life-sustaining needs of food items and WASH NFIs. ADRA will provide monthly assistance to the targeted families for five months through local financial service providers, aiming to reduce their reliance on negative coping mechanisms.
Providing protection through community-based services to high priority areas in three governorates: Homs, Idlib, and Deir-ez-Zor The primary aim of this proposal is to respond to the severe and urgent protection concerns in Homs, Deir-ez-Zor and Idlib Governorates, through community-based protection interventions targeting the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on those in areas with high severity of needs.

The protracted displacement crisis, degradation of services and continuous deterioration of living conditions exacerbated by the negative socio-economic impact of COVID-19 and the Syrian currency depreciation, has increasingly affected all population groups throughout the country. The needs have become vast and community resources are overstretched while the resilience capacity has been severely eroded, further undermining the ability of communities to recover from complex and multi-linked protection issues, potentially triggering additional negative coping mechanisms and increasing intra group tensions. 

Since late 2019, an increasingly high number of returns have been observed in Al-Qusair (Homs Governorate) and Sinjar (Idlib Governorate) while hostilities have abated in Deir-ez-Zor, making it possible to scale up much needed humanitarian interventions.

Providing community-based protection services will help meeting the critical gaps that have emerged in Al-Qusair (Homs), Sinjar (Idlib) , and in Deir-ez-Zor city (Deir-ez-Zor) as result of hostilities combined with the huge needs identified in the ground across sectors, and the limited humanitarian presence in these locations.

This project aims at re-establishing and strengthening community safety nets and networks in areas with high returnees and newly accessible areas, through empowering the community to take care of themselves.

Expansion of protection services and outreach activities is envisaged through the provision of protection services in community centers, via mobile units, and via a network of outreach volunteers and community-led initiatives (CLIs). 
Through community-based protection interventions, UNHCR and its partners will reinforce positive coping mechanisms, formulate practical solutions, and establish/maintain a solid protection referral system to support the timely, coordinated and principled delivery of assistance to the most vulnerable people.
Provision of multi-purpose cash assistance to vulnerable households in Rural Damascus DRC is proposing to provide multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA) to 2420 HHs (12,100 vulnerable individuals of five family average size) in the Rural Damascus Qudsiya sub-district to cover their basic needs.
According to the HNO 2020, Rural Damascus is one of the five Governorates with more IDPs and returnees and Qudisya is one of the sub-districts with higher food insecurity rates as stated by the Food Sector. Only WFP, UNHCR, and UNRWA are providing CVA in Qudisya and the accessibility to functioning markets and FSPs make the MPCA the most suitable intervention to address the basic needs of vulnerable HHs. The 2420 HHs will be selected in coordination with the main NGOs working in the area as well as the local authorities among the most vulnerable and underserved populations. The target has been set based on the number of families in the waiting lists of WFP, the capacity of the local markets and FSP, the project implementation timeframe, and the budget availability.

Based on the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB) figure provided by the Cash Working Group(CWG) and harmonization efforts made with INGOs, and as per the feedback of MoSAL's Director of Planning and International Cooperation, DRC will provide 200,000 SYP cash assistance in 3 rounds with a total of 600,000 SYP transferred per HH during the length of the response ( 200,000 SYP every Month during the months of September, October and November). DRC will aim to maintain harmonization with the agreed CWG rate. 

The project will be implemented directly by DRC in Qudsiya, where has been present for 10 years and is already carrying out economic recovery interventions. This will allow DRC to target particularly HHs with compounding vulnerabilities, including those facing protection concerns and those with members who are socially and economically marginalized and in need of assistance, such as women-headed households, people with disabilities, and elderlies. The beneficiary selection will be coordinated with WFP, who is providing food assistance to the most vulnerable HHs in the area. WFP will share their beneficiary lists with DRC to avoid overlapping and to provide a coordinated response in the target area. 

DRC received written approval from MoSAL to implement cash-based interventions (CBI) on April 21st, 2020. Since then, DRC has developed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), beneficiary selection tools, and guidelines conducted a monthly risk analysis, and provided training for national staff. DRC has also received approval to implement an MPCA project in Dara´a that was implemented through other funds.

DRC has signed a framework agreement with a financial service provider (FSP) and held several coordination meetings to confirm their capacity to absorb the caseload and their commitment to follow COVID-19 prevention measures and humanitarian principles
Emergency WASH Services in Formal IDP sites in Hassakeh governorate Violence since 9 October after the onset of military operations by the Turkish armed forces and non-governmental allied groups has raised humanitarian needs and created new urgent needs. As of 1 where unprecedented displacement movement of Ras Alein and its countryside residents to the city of Al-Hasakah was observed

Provide Food Support and increase resiliency of vulnerable communities and Households including PWDs in Aleppo  and Rural Damascus The Project aims to improve the food security and livelihood status of most vulnerable people through life-sustaining food assistance and income-generating opportunities (linked to 1st and 3rd HRP 2020 targets) with special focus on female-headed households, people with disabilities, elderly people, and daily workers who lost their jobs during COVID-19 outbreak through the distribution of food vouchers/ Commodity Vouchers (using TdH E-Voucher System) targeted 445 Household in 2 high severity scales locations in Aleppo and Rural Damascus, the amount of each voucher will be 100,000 SYP according to WFP Minimum Expenditure Basket for 6 Cycles/Months according to Food Security Sector minimum standard and Cash Working Group,
In the purpose of providing income-generating opportunities and based on the conducted assessment in both targeted location, TdH will conduct specialized vocational training for 180 persons ( 90 from each location) mainly for PwDs and Female-Headed households and daily workers for three months in a training center in the same location taking into consideration COVID-19 Prevention measures in parallel of distribution of Multi-Purpose Cash for the same people that will be covering the basic Hygiene needs of PWDs in addition to the transportation fees from-to the training center , also, we considered some relevant costs of internet connection and units to provide them with the access to internet since they will need it for getting the training materials and other info, the amount will be 45,000 SP for 3 cycles/Months per individual as per the MEB gabs that shared by the CWG, the allocated amount will distributed using financial service provider( for the same period of Vocational Training) in order to provide them with immediate income-generating opportunities and meet the most severe and urgent needs through systematic and sustained humanitarian response. The training kinds will be chosen based on the outputs of the conducted needs assessment in both locations and beneficiaries list from the food vouchers distributions will be nominated by the community committees and verified through household visits by the local partner volunteers in order to avoid any duplication with any humanitarian actors working in the same neighbourhoods.
Emergency WASH response to COVID19 crisis to help vulnerable population in Eastern Ghouta, Dara'a, Hama While WHO classifies Syria as a high-risk country with regard to COVID19, a first case was detected on the 22nd of March on the Syrian territory. Since then, the number of cases has been steadily increasing in a country where the health and medical infrastructures are hardly able to respond to the crisis without support from the humanitarian community. An estimated 6.8 million people live in communities with high population concentrations. In these communities, people often face limited access to water, health care, shelter, etc. These conditions increase the likelihood of transmission of COVID19 due to promiscuity. The risk of spread is heightened by the lack of access to basic hygiene products due to significant prices fluctuations that prevent households with low income to buy them. In addition to this already complex situation, there is a lack of awareness of protectives measures such as key handwashing moment and social distancing. 
In order to limit as much as possible the spread of the virus in a context where populations are extremely vulnerable, TGH will provide access to basic hygiene products and to water in sufficient quantity and quality so that everyone can meet their basic hygiene needs. Thus distributions of hygiene kits or soaps will be organized in the most vulnerable localities according to the needs assessment conducted by TGH in April 2020 in 3 governorates: Rural Damascus, Hama and Dara’a. These distributions will be coupled with awareness sessions on safety measures such as handwashing key moments or social distancing in order to fill in the sometimes incomplete knowledge of the targeted populations on COVID19. Water trucking activities will be maintained so that people can access enough water to satisfy their basic needs. In total, 325,391 people will be reached by TGH proposed activities. For hygiene kit and soap distributions, the targeted localities will be covered in their entirety. Indeed, as this activity aims at preventing the spread of COVID19, the coverage should be total. Awareness messages will be delivered during distributions and will consequently also benefit the whole population of targeted villages. Similarly, water trucking services target the whole population in villages where the service is set up aligning with Do No Harm principles.
Provision of health care services for the most vulnerable population and IDPs in Lattakia governorate. .
Since the CCA is a member in the health sector now, and has a remarkable medical center, and during the crisis in Syria the medical center continued its work helping people in need, The CCA intend to continue the work for its humanitarian goal to save lives.
 As we make this project proposal we think of benefiting thepoor populations who cant afford to buy medicines and pay for a needed surgery, And we all know that the medical and non-medical services no longer meet the increasing needs.

Based on the need assessment conducted by CCA, the proposed project will focus on the following activities:

-Provision of life-sustaining health services by covering the costs of several surgeries to most vulnerable groups who cannot afford (IDPs and host community) 70% of beneficiaries are women and children.

- Providing financial support to referral cases and prescriptions for number of patients
Enhancing resilience of Palestine refugees in Syria through the provision of protection and community services The project aims at supporting the protective environment of Palestine refugee populations at risk and it will address their protection needs arising as consequences of the of the conflict, COVID-19 and the public health preventive measures of the spread thereof, as well as the socio-economic impacts of the economic and financial crisis. This will be done through sustained advocacy, prevention and protection risk mitigation and enhanced protection responses.

The project will provide critical protection assistance to Palestine refugees, including to those who are displaced and those returning to their habitual residence in Syria. This will be done through various interventions. Mainstreaming protection within UNRWA services will remain a priority. Corresponding to needs, protection trainings, including on disability inclusion, GBV, PSEA, addressing violence against children, will be delivered to a wide range of staff and volunteers, who will in turn use these skills in their day-to-day direct delivery of services to refugees. 

Additionally, through this project, UNRWA will continue to build the capacity of programmes to strengthen case management and referral processes for protection cases, including unaccompanied/separated Palestine refugee children, persons with disabilities (including those injured as a result of the conflict), older persons and those affected by violence, GBV, abuse and neglect. Dedicated programmatic responses will be implemented through regular service-delivery and stand-alone community-based and individually targeted initiatives to support the needs of vulnerable populations including to address psychosocial distress. It will also enhance the safety of children who have returned to a heavily bombarded refugee camp by clearing rubble around their school and creating a safe playground area. Areas most affected by the conflict as well as displaced and returning populations will be prioritized. 

Legal support services will be offered prioritising women and children experiencing GBV through assistance to obtain civil documentation and referrals to external partners. Mine risk awareness campaigns will be delivered throughout the country targeting students and other community members, with a specific focus on areas of spontaneous returns. 

This project will also support UNRWA’s protection monitoring, reporting and advocacy efforts which will continue to be prioritised through the participation of UNRWA in global protection mechanisms and the international human rights system (IHRS), and through interaction with relevant stakeholders, including with the protection sector of the Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) in Syria. In parallel, UNRWA will focus specifically on monitoring the return of Palestine refugees displaced within and outside Syria.

All of the above interventions will be carried out with full consideration of the relevant COVID-19 preventive measures including the safety protocols for the gradual re-opening of community centres.
Integrated individual protection response in Damascus and Rural Damascus for the most vulnerable population groups during the Covid-19 crisis. With the present proposal AVSI aims at improving the protection of the most vulnerable people during the Covid-19 crisis through integrated individual support and community protection monitoring. The action targets 1517 individuals: IDPs,  returnees, elderly, women head of households, disable persons and persons with chronic diseases in the area of Damascus (especially Dwela area), Jaramana and East Ghouta. The project, in collaboration with SARC, plans to provide cash assistance for protection purposes to targeted beneficiaries (1230), dignity kits for vulnerable girls and women IDPs  (159 women + 22 girls: they will receive both cash assistance and dignity kits) or returnees women head of households in East Ghouta (287, they will receive only dignity kits). Furthermore, the initiative will implement Covid-19 awareness, protection monitoring and follow-up of assistance, with possible services referrals by SARC, through individual sample household visits (we expect to visit 20% of beneficiaries, i.e. 300 HH).
Provision of cash assistance to vulnerable Palestine refugees in Syria The project will address most acute needs for a total of 153,880 Palestine refugees through the provision of cash assistance for non-food items. 

UNRWA will provide targeted beneficiaries with three months’ worth of cash assistance for NFIs. Each beneficiary falling under the most vulnerable categories will receive USD 10.5 (per month) while the remaining targeted beneficiaries will receive USD 5.25 (per month). 

Among the most vulnerable, UNRWA targets women headed households, older persons, persons with disabilities and orphans. However, given the widespread poverty (90% of households are estimated to live in absolute poverty) resulting from a dire economic situation due to conflict and displacement, most Palestine refugees depend on UNRWA assistance as their only service provider. 

This contribution will support UNRWA in ensuring that assistance is provided to Palestine refugees during the winter months in 2020 when the expenditure of households increases and ensure that already vulnerable households do not fall into further poverty. 

UNRWA distributes cash through a network of easily accessible distribution points, run by two partner banks (Bemo and Al-Baraka) and one money transfer company (Al-Haram).
