Emergency response to shelter needs of the newly IDPs in NW Syria. The project activities aim to provide shelter support for 49,320 vulnerable newly IDPs (12,152 M, 15,466 W, 9,549 B, 12,153 G, ~ 7,398 PwD) living in and out of camps in Harim, Azaz and Afrin districts through emergency repairing of inadequate shelters, installing RHUs (Refugee Housing Units), and upgrading the infrastructure of IDP settlements.

Need
--------
Newly IDPs have arrived at communities that are already overstretched with limited shelter and hosting capacity, particularly Harim, Afrin and Azaz districts. Successive displacement in addition to the current displacement, has made it more difficult to secure adequate shelter for new IDPs, especially for female-headed households, people with disabilities and elders. This forced many families to live in very harsh conditions where the minimum requirements for adequate shelter are not met, which led to serious privacy and protection concerns for women and girls and resulted in a notable increase in resorting to negative coping mechanisms. Also, the burden on the already weak infrastructure, in IDPs settlements in Qah and Atma, has increased as a result of IDPs arrivals which negatively influence the protection environment of the whole communities.

Intervention
---------------
Bonyan Organization (BO) has design this project within two main components. 

Component1: Increase access to adequate shelter for newly IDPs out of camps, with enhanced safety and privacy of women and girls.

1) Selection of Beneficiaries: BO will discuss with main stakeholders, especially newly IDPs through KIIs, and local councils to collect detailed data about most adequacy issues facing the new IDPs, and specific communities of IDPs in acute need. Bonyan uses vulnerability scoring table to select beneficiaries.
2) Implement emergency/light repair works including repairing/installing windows, doors, lighting, water and sanitation for 525 shelter units targeting 3,150 newly IDPs (776 M, 987 W, 610 B, 777 G) living in Azaz, Afrin and Jandairis subdistricts, in line with SPHERE Standards via contractual modality. 
3) Install 48 RHUs (Refugee Housing Units) with associated infrastructure, including levelling and gravelling of the unit ground (as needed) as an extension to the overcrowded shelters targeting 288 newly IDPs (71 M, 90 W, 56 B, 71 G) living in Afrin and Dana subdistricts.
An example of how this solution can be implemented: an IDP family is hosted in a relatively small house. The house has a yard (space) that can be used. The RHU will be installed in the yard. IDP family will live the RHU and share the facilities with the host family.
4) Mapping the services in the project area in coordination with other humanitarian actors, to provide guidance sessions to shelter beneficiaries on the available services in the nearby area.

Component2: Increase the Capacity of Current Camps in Qah and Atma by Improving Camps infrastructure.

1) Developing Scope of Work: Conduct wide consultations with relevant stakeholders to collect detailed data about specific location of roads and infrastructures in order to develop the Scope of Works, and technical specifications.
2) Gravelling amp Drainage System: Implement upgrading of IDP settlements through Gravelling 7 km of roads and Constructing 7 km of drain pipes and 70 of street gutters for storm water for 45,882 newly IDPs (11305 M, 14388 W, 8884 B, 11305 G) in Atma and Qah camps, via contractual modality with supervision and Quality Assurance.

Bonyan will achieve the project objective through a series of specific activities and processes, taking into account accountability to affected-people, protection mainstreaming and GBV, risk analysis and mitigation, tight monitoring and evaluation processes, and effective coordination with all stakeholders, as well as, a coherent exit strategy that contributes to sustainable results of the project.
