Fleming Fund Grant - Anti Microbial Resistance (AMR) The Fleming Fund is a UK Government’s investment into improving laboratory capacity for diagnosis and surveillance of anti-microbial resistance (AMR) in low-income countries. It supports the implementation of AMR National Action Plans by making investments in: building laboratory capacity; collecting drug resistance data; enabling the sharing of drug resistance data locally, regionally and internationally; collating and analysing data on the sale and use of antimicrobials medicines, particularly antibiotics; advocating the application of these data to promote the rational use of antimicrobials for human health, animal health and agriculture; and shaping a sustainable system for AMR surveillance and data sharing. Within a big programme funded by the Department of Health and managed by Mott MacDonald Limited, the OU will create leverage its expertise in networked organisational development and technology enhanced learning (including distance learning) to create learning pathways and products for health workers and other professionals around Anti-Microbial Resistance in the Grant's target countries.
GATE-Girls' Access to Education GATE seeks to support marginalised girls and children with disabilities to reach their full potential and transition through primary and secondary education. As a component part of the programme, The Open University (OU) is helping young women who have not completed secondary school to upgrade their qualifications and prepare to pass the Teacher Training College entrance exam and train to become teachers. They are provided an OU designed supported study programme alongside a placement in a local school as a Learning Assistant in which they gain school experience, support teaching and learning, and provide more role models for girls in school. Already around 500 women have completed the learning assistant programme of which 484 have now become student teachers and attending Teacher Training Colleges and training to become teachers. A further cohort of 250 young women will be taken through the programme under the current phase.
Emergency WASH and Protection response for IDPs and refugees from Syria With GAC funding: Within the framework of the Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan 2015 (3RP), Oxfam intend to offer a comprehensive and sustainable WASH response, which includes the involvement of local municipalities in Bekaa. Besides 68 Informal settlements (IS) located in six municipalities of North Bekaa, one of the biggest IS of Lebanon (470 households), located in Bar Elias, West Bekaa, will be targeted with a comprehensive WASH intervention and a tailored solid waste management approach. In Bar Elias IS (West Bekaa), drinking water for 470 households will be provided in collaboration with the Bekaa Water Establishment. Water for domestic use will be provided using the recently built wells and pumping facilities and safe chlorination will be ensured. With ECHO Funding: This is an integrated WASH and Protection action aims at contributing to mitigating the protection risks of human -generated violence, coercion, deprivation and abuse, and to reduce public health risks for 7,080 vulnerable people affected by the Syria crisis. Specifically, the Action intends to enable vulnerable individuals and communities to reduce protection risks and safely meet basic WASH needs. Oxfam with partners (AJEM, RDFL, Najdeh) propose a combination of activities aimed at reducing the vulnerability of the population in North Bekaa and Palestinian camps in the North, to protection threats and increasing their capacity by strengthening their knowledge of legal frameworks, services available and of soft -skills to address community problems. This is combined with the establishment of solid linkages with existing services, or the provision of other specialised services that can offer redress to individuals who are victims of negative coping strategies or threats resulting from lack of legal residency and of income. The WASH component of the project will address the immediate needs of Syrian refugees residing in ITSs in North Bekaa by providing them with safe and adequate water in terms of
B-READY Global Scale-up: Planning Grant (Lebanon) Oxfam proposes to embark on a new strategic partnership to scale Building Resilient, Adaptive and Disaster Ready Communities (B -READY): an innovation uniting parametric disaster climate forecasting with financial inclusion to provide social protection to individuals, communities, and businesses in advance of emergencies.
COVID-19 Response -Lebanon -WASH, Protection and Food Security Outcome 1: Improved Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) standards in Informal Settlements (ISs) in North Bekaa, in line with COVID -19 prevention, isolation and quarantine guidelines. The proposed WASH intervention will focus on emergency WASH activities (life -saving WASH services). The WASH activities will be implemented through a safe programming approach with the involvement of affected communities. This will be done in close coordination with the two municipalities.  Accordingly, WASH activities will reach 4,746 Syrian refugees (2,310 women; 2,436 men) in 93 ISs in Saaide and Bouday. The nature of the WASH intervention will depend on the isolation guidance levels. Outcome 2: Improved access by refugees, especially women and girls, to reliable and comprehensive information on COVID -19 prevention Oxfam's initial response to COVID -19 was to engage communities. Ensuring trusted and two -way communication channels is a top priority in the current situation and moving forward, so that communities can receive and share information and engage in developing solutions to challenges being raised. Based on the initial discussions, questions raised were prioritized and addressed in the form of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), thereby contextualizing the COVID -19 information on the most ‘need -to -know' basis, in addition to besides the WASH and Health sectors' agreed messaging. Given the protracted nature of the humanitarian response in Lebanon; the response had mostly transitioned to a cash -based response in line with Grand Bargain commitment to "increase the use and coordination of cash -based programming." However, given the mobility challenges that the COVID -19 crisis brings on refugee communities to access cash, coupled with the ongoing challenges of the banking sector in Lebanon due to the economic and financial situation; as part of the COVID -19 response strategy, Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) partners are asked to prepare for likely food distribution for Levels 2,
A multi-layer approach to promote LGBTI rights in Lebanon With the Impact Objective of contributing to the protection and promotion of LGBTI rights in Lebanon and Outcome Objective of supporting Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to effectively reduce discrimination and promote legal, health, and psychosocial rights of LGBTI individuals, the Action consists of three mutually reinforcing components addressing priority needs identified through Qorras's ongoing work with LGBTI communities and throughout the design phase.

Right to a Future for People Affected by the Syrian Displacement Crisis The Theory of Change posits that people affected by the protracted Syrian displacement crisis – either as displaced persons or host communities  - will realise their ‘right to a future' and live dignified lives (impact), if they have security, voice, access to quality basic services, and safe and sustainable livelihoods (ultimate outcome). This ultimate outcome is achievable when developed countries share greater responsibility, including through funding and provision of international protection, for supporting displaced persons and host communities (outcome 1); governments from refugee -hosting countries in the region have the capacity and political will to uphold the basic rights of vulnerable displaced and host communities (outcome 2); and displaced and host communities' voices are heard and acted upon by duty bearers in development planning (outcome 3). To contribute to these outcomes, this project will support the capacity and space for civil society organisations in Lebanon, and at the international level, to influence national and international duty bearers to more effectively meet the needs of both vulnerable displaced and host communities through the ‘resilience agenda', including by raising the voices of affected populations, policy monitoring, research, coalition -building and innovation.

WASH and Protection Response to the Syrian Refugee Crisis in North Bekaa Oxfam will continue to provide access to gender -sensitive latrines , adhering to a maximum of 15 persons/latrine. For every latrine, Oxfam provides a one -off cleaning kit. All construction works abide by Oxfam's Safe Programming principles, ensuring access is cleared of obstruction and that there are door handles, locks, lighting (solar) and rope handles for support. Location, design and positioning are selected in consultation with refugees, with a focus on women and girls, and persons with disabilities (PwD). • For facility (latrines and water tanks) rehabilitation, Oxfam shifted maintenance from implementation via contractors to a community -led modality. Oxfam selects Community Technical Volunteers (CTVs) and provides them with (on -the -job) training, a WASH facility toolkit  and spare parts. CTVs, supported by Oxfam engineers, monitor and document the needs of facilities. These are compiled into a Bill of Quantities (BoQ) and Oxfam reviews and authorizes the works. CTVs obtain the material from an Oxfam -contracted hardware store at an average of CAD 39.42/facility. This market -based approach greatly reduces maintenance costs compared with private contractors that charge CAD 105.12/facility, empowers beneficiaries to engage with local markets, and prevents overcharging of refugees. Once works are completed, Oxfam checks their quality before handing them over to the HHs.  • Ongoing desludging services will be maintained for existing and new latrines and septic tanks via Oxfam -contracted desludgers to ensure functionality, mitigate community tensions within the ISs that arise from sharing latrines, reduce open defecation, and prevent proliferation of hand -dug pits that expose people to health and protection risks. Desludging is conducted every 2 months, as per latrine pit design requirements. Through the voucher system, a HH member who uses the latrine is present during the desludging, checks that the pit is emptied, and provides the desludger with the voucher when

Qadreen: Generating temporary employment opportunities for the most vulnerable Contribute to mitigating the social consequences of the Syrian crisis and the economic crisis on the most vulnerable groups in the Minieh -Donnieh district.  Improve access to income and better infrastructure and public services for vulnerable refugees and Lebanese in Minieh -Donnieh district, reducing social tensions.  The present project revolves around the following theory of change:    If vulnerable men and women have access to opportunities for temporary employment in productive public infrastructure and environmental protection in the municipalities of  Bqarsouna and Bqaa Sifrine (R1) , and community -based services are provided at municipal level in Bqarsouna and Bqaa Sifrine (R2) and integrated municipal solid waste management  services are improved in Bqaa Sifrine  to reduce social tensions (R3), then access to income and better infrastructure and public services for refugees and vulnerable Lebanese in Minieh -Donnieh district will be increased, reducing social tensions.
Gender Justice This project will encompass all the gender justice work for Oxfam in Lebanon going forward. Besides conducting an gender analysis,  We will ensure that within all of Oxfam's pillars of work we create an enabling environment in which women and girls can exercise their social, economic, political and cultural rights equally and without prejudice. We will also ensure our programmes have a strong gender analysis.   To achieve this we will support women's political participation and transformative leadership as an entry point to support positive change for women across the pillars. Recognising a need for a more respectful intergenerational political relationship between women activists, we feel that we can bring value in providing innovative models to convene groups and to test new solutions or approaches to promote youth activism. In particular, this project will pilot the Roots Lab model.

"Collectives in a box"– Lebanon Sharing evidence -based learning, tools, templates and approaches from one affiliate across the entire confederation is fully in line and supports the One Oxfam approach. In this context, Oxfam in Lebanon proposes "Collectives in a box" – a "how -to toolkit for establishing and supporting collective structures: Cases of Civil Society Networks, Youth Hubs, and Community Groups".    The concept is built around the notion of "knowledge sharing" and directly speaks to Oxfam Strategic Plan (OSP) operational Goal 2.  This product, which captures four years of experience from Oxfam in Lebanon establishing an array of collective structures, would serve as the go -to reference for the entire confederation. It would act as a practical toolkit to be used and replicated by different Oxfam country programs resulting in effective knowledge sharing and supporting efficiency and simplicity  - the cornerstones of Oxfam's strategic agenda.   Oxfam in Lebanon will demonstrate the importance of taking a systematic, consistent, thorough approach to collectives, walking users through the process step -by -step. Based on Oxfam in Lebanon's experience, applying learning from past collectives can accelerate the successes and achievements of newer ones. The toolkit would provide contextual evidence of Oxfam's return on investment by working with and empowering local actors through unique participatory approaches.  Oxfam in Lebanon has a track record of establishing and facilitating the development of different collective structures, namely Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) networks (e.g. People Affected by the Syrian Crisis (PASC) ; My Work My Right ), and founding platforms/community groups/feminist initiatives (e.g. civic platforms; the Roots Lab initiatives ), a youth hub, and multi -sectoral community peer groups (e.g. Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WaSH) and Protection). Oxfam in Lebanon's experience establishing these structures has been well documented in -country and the next step is to diss
WaSH, Protection and Livelihood response to the Syria Crisis in Lebanon Oxfam's response will be an integrated WASH, Livelihood and Protection intervention benefitting 8,793 individuals (adjusted for double counting), including refugees and poor Lebanese where appropriate. Oxfam will deliver WASH in informal settlements and camps in North Bekaa, where Livelihood activities will also be prioritized. Protection activities will be implemented in North, West and Central Bekaa. The project has three immediate outcomes as reflected in the Logic Model and Performance Measurement Framework. The project aims to enable Oxfam to start transitioning into longer term, cost effective and sustainable (where possible) approach to providing humanitarian assistance in the context of a protracted crisis and increasingly restrictive government policies on refugees.
Building Alternative Development Assets and Entrepreneurial Learning in Lebanon If Lebanese, Palestinian, and Syrian community members and relevant stakeholders in targeted communities have an enhanced understanding of resilience assets to conflict and vulnerability, in addition to the available socio -economic opportunities, and if locally owned and driven innovative solutions are advanced with the skills, tools, and expertise for successful impact and sustainability, then social stability is protected, community (hosting and refugee populations) participation advanced, and civic engagement strengthened. This change will contribute to countering drivers of conflict and radicalisation and bolster resilience  through civic activism and participation.
