Increasing food security and enhancing livelihoods of IDPs and Host Communities in Suqaylabiyah through agriculture inputs vouchers ISWA proposed project aims to increase food security and enhancing livelihoods of IDPs and Host Communities(11% IDPs, 89% host communities) in Hama – Suqaylabiyah (Madiq Castle, Bab Eltaqa, and Kafr Nabutha) Targeting (1,000 HHs) by distributing vouchers of (wheat seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and fuel). To plant 4,000 Dunums of wheat variety (sham 3).

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 hindered 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.

The key interventions of the project will include: 
1- Conditional vouchers to buy agricultural inputs, accompanied by related agricultural extensions.
2- Capacity building targeting women and community.
3- Following-up the farmers during the production cycle of the crops.

ISWA is planning to implement the project through: 
1. Targeting 1,000 family HHs in Suqaylabiyah villages (2,674 female and 2,326 male), approximately (465 men, 535 women, 2,139 girls, and 1,861 boys) by providing them with (1 wheat seeds vouchers, 2 types of fertilizers vouchers, 4 types of pesticides vouchers, and 2 vouchers for fuel).

Beneficiaries HHs will receive 9 vouchers to be redeemed against agricultural inputs, in the local markets from vendors who have been contracted by ISWA.
ISWA will hold awareness sessions with the vendors and all the selected beneficiaries to explain to them the vouchers, 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. Vendors will be warned ahead of the project start that onsite inspections will 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, beneficiaries 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 field agronomists. And all interventions will be in “Do no harm” approach.
