Advancing Resilience and Early Recovery: Provision of Agricultural Inputs to Vulnerable Farmers in Dara’a Syria Relief and Development (SRD) will enhance the resilience of 300 small to medium scale farmers in Dara’a governorate through provision of agricultural inputs, integrated nutrition messaging and technical agricultural trainings that will facilitate sustainable restoration of annual and seasonal farming activities. This intervention will complement an initiative funded by Near East Foundation (NEF) with a projected start date in September 2017 and will prioritize  assets in the form of seeds and fertilizer that will support crop production among farmers that retain at least 2-5 Dunams (0.2-0.5 Hectares) and demonstrate need for external support to reinvigorate farming activities. Such prioritization was based on a preliminary assessment SRD conducted with five farmers in Tafas, Dar’a. SRD is launching an existing food security project in South Syria to provide multi-year assistance encompassing distribution of agricultural inputs to medium-scale farmers in the form of seeds, fertilizer and tools. This program will also entail: market assessments, value chain analysis (agricultural inputs), producers and processors of agricultural inputs are beneficiaries in S. Syria, agribusiness plan development for producers, business incubators (Siraj livelihood hubs) for business trainings, value chain cooperative (co-op), and sales channels established for producers and processors (i.e. community level, regional level, wholesale agreements). 
The proposed HPF intervention will  include  supplementary inputs to the  targeted farmers to ensure that they have the full range of resources necessary for production. The cross-border Food Security and Livelihoods working group in Jordan estimates a standardized minimum response package of seeds, wheat and potatoes alone to cost around 150 to 200 USD. The additional inputs are essential to make a sustainable impact and maximize efficient management of resources, and mitigate the risk of reselling inputs due to lack of sufficient resources, as well as negative coping mechanisms adopted due to limited income that place all gender and age groups in danger of various protection risks. Technical trainings will also be delivered on agricultural best practices, quality control and climate smart techniques.
Improving the Basic Needs of Syrian Refugees in Azraq Camp This action aims to provide much needed assistance to arrivals to Azraq camp in 2017. Compared to camp residents, refugees arriving in 2017 were not able to access assistance and replenishments, including the latest 2016 winterization response. Therefore this project will support those new arrivals with NFIs and cash assistance enabling them to meet their basic needs. As NRC has not been able to secure sufficient funding to cover the gap in the provision of gas refills for the full camp population, gas refills are also included in this application.
Life-saving assistance to prevent unnecessary deaths and relieve suffering for crisis-affected populations in Jordan. This project will support Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanians in accessing secondary healthcare through the provision of cash-for-health assistance.

Medair will directly implement the project in the target regions of East Amman, Mafraq and Zarqa, providing cash-for-health for deliveries, emergency surgeries and health conditions which left untreated could lead to disability. Medair’s cash-for-health volunteers will be used to case-find the most vulnerable cash-for-health beneficiaries and provide health messaging at household level.
Emergency shelter kits Assistance for Vulnerable Affected Populations in Southern Syria This activity concerns the provision of household emergency shelter kits assistance to vulnerable households as part of an integrated package of assistance. Assistance is designed to improve living conditions, physical protection and dignity of the beneficiaries.
This activity will be delivered through in-kind distributions. 

Afak will take in consideration the agreement of the inter-agency Shelter sector agreed minimum specifications and this activity will therefore be compliant with the relevant standards.

This project will help cover the current gap in confirmed funding for the 2017 related emergency shelter.
Mobile Medical Clinic for the IDPs of Al Shayeh Farms This project will support a mobile medical clinic which will provide basic healthcare services to an estimated 8,250 direct beneficiaries residing in internally displaced persons (IDP) camps in the area of Al Shayeh Farms for 12 months.
Safe Spaces and Access to Protection Services for Families and Children The proposed Project aims to expand and strengthen child protection efforts in vulnerable communities, especially those most affected by the Syria crisis. JRF will utilize a sustainable grassroots approach to offer child protection activities (both intervention and prevention activities), specializing in children-at-risk and/or are involved in Child Labour and SGBV, including Early Marriage. The Project will be based in two governorates highly affected by the crisis and are underserved regions –East Amman and Mafraq. The project has two main focus areas: 

1. Offer timely Case Management services to beneficiaries in East Amman, and Mafraq areas. This includes referrals to appropriate safe and specialized pathways, to mitigate impact and prevent reoccurrence of child labour and SGBV.
2. Offer community based prevention activities targeting children, adolescents, youth, parents/care-givers, and community members. The beneficiaries will be empowered with relevant skills, tools, attitudes, and knowledge to address concerns, mitigate impact, and prevent reoccurrence of child protection cases, specifically child labour and SGBV.

JRF will achieve the above by expanding and fortifying the efforts of JRF’s Queen Rania Al Abdullah Center (QRFCC) in East Amman and by ensuring this tested and proven model is reflected in Mafraq. JRF will select and empower a capable Community-based Organization (CBO), to function as a Family and Child Protection Center in Mafraq. The CBO will house the community based prevention and case management activities, where it will hire Case Managers and Social Workers for the project. JRF will enable the CBO, through a tailored capacity building program, to function as an independent entity, to ensure the sustainability of services long after the completion of the OCHA funded project.

JRF will ensure the highest levels of accountability, involvement, and gender equality of the community members throughout the project. Accordingly, JRF will form two community based committees at each of the project locations: 1) Parents Education Committee (average 10 individuals), and 2) Youth Committee (average of 15 individuals). The four committees will be responsible for implementing the community based activities, and will be led and supported by the Social Workers at QRFCC and the CBO.
