Support nutritional status of vulnerable people in Damascus and Rural Damascus through comprehensive interventions (Priority1) This project aims at supporting the nutrition status of vulnerable people in Damascus and in 4 areas in Rural Damascus through a comprehensive approach that includes providing multiple services. Nutrition support will be done through performing screening for malnutrition, detecting cases. Identified cases will be supported in a complementary way through other coordination with UNICEF and WFP to be supported with micronutrients.  The screening needs a trained staff to do it, that’s why the project will support training health workers on screening, CMAM, IYCF, several health topics, in addition to providing health workers with needed information and training on GBV response and referral pathways  so the will be able to properly deal with GBV cases among PLWs, Case management service will be in place in addition to MHPSS services for PLWs and children, social workers will provide PSS services to PLWs and children through consultation and  will be provided with needed training on malnutrition referral pathways. 
As most of malnutrition cases result from the poor diet related to poverty and low income rate, many PLWs and children are in critical need for financial support which will be provided through cash modality to women according to strict criteria that entails several assessments, cash support will be directed to women of high vulnerability which will be determined according to different factors: Number of family members, disability, chronic disease, GBV cases, displacement situation, poverty,…. Cash assistance will be validated in a well-documented manner that Altamyoz uses since more than 12 years and is accredited and approved by MoSAL and many other UN agencies. 
Cash money distribution follows the following steps:
1-choose the most vulnerable families according to vulnerability criteria mentioned above
2-A printed list will be prepared for the chosen families, it will contain the name, ID number, and the amount each family will receive in addition to a special space for fingerprint to prove money receive. Another validation method is an electronic fingerprint.
3- the fixed amount of money is prepared in the financial department and under supervision of the treasurer and the financial manager, each amount is put in a closed envelop. The financial process is also well organized and under control of internal policies
4- cash distribution will be done in AlTamayoz center, and could be done in Youth space in Babbila to support 300 PLW with the amount equal to 50 $ per month. the distribution will be done along with maintaining the physical distance between beneficiaries.
5-In case the women couldn't reach any of AlTamayoz facilities, then AlTamayoz will manage to do distribution via mobile team with maintaining the needed documentation.
Nutrition status is highly affected by the level of knowledge about food and nutrition, thus, awareness raising sessions will be provided to beneficiaries in an attempt to make them more aware of what they eat and what are the proper food that can give high nutrition value, especially with the limited choices they have due to limited financial resources. 
An important intervention is also required to raise awareness about hygiene and hand wash concept, as hand contamination is the main source of communicable diseases which affects health and consequently nutrition situation of the person himself (especially children) and his family.
All mentioned activities will be implemented in Damascus and RD, targeting PLW, boys and girls children, Men will also be targeted through awareness raising sessions. Altamayoz will coordinate with WFP and UNICEF to support the needed micronutrients for moderate cases of malnutrition and will refer acute cases to specialized hospitals of MoH as a complementary activity to support this project’s beneficiaries 
Activities will be implemented through centers in Damascus and  Babbela, and through integrated mobile teams in Ein alfijeh, Madaya, Qudsaiya
