Pillar 1(100%), Food Security , Targeting Households, in 5 cadasters in Marjeyoun: Blat, Ebel-Esaki, Dibbine, Jdeideh, Kleia ltpgtltbrgtNusaned proposes a comprehensive and inclusive intervention that aligns with Pillar 1 of the LHF 2023 First Standard Allocation. The project aims to provide life-saving assistance to individuals, irrespective of their nationality or status, residing in five villages in Marjaayoun: Blat, Ebel-El Saki, Dibbine, Jdediet Marjaayoun, and Kleia. The primary focus of this intervention is to address the urgent needs of the most vulnerable and at-risk populations, with a particular emphasis on Persons with Specific Needs (PwSN) and households led by women.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe selected region has been severely impacted by the multifaceted crisis in Lebanon. Since 08 October 2023, armed confrontations have been taking place along Lebanon's southern border. The number of incidents has increased steadily since then. Given the current deteriorating situation across the country, the most vulnerable communities are unable to meet their food and non-food requirements and are resorting to negative coping mechanisms. The proposed intervention seeks to address these challenges by providing comprehensive support in the form of Cash for Food to households residing in Marjaayoun. This assistance will be provided through six cycles of distribution, ensuring that their essential nutritional needs are met.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtTo ensure effective collaboration and coordination, Nusaned will actively engage with sector coordinators and core group members in Food Security Sector, as well as other relevant actors operating in the intervention villages whether local or international NGOs. This collaborative approach will facilitate stakeholder mapping, prevent duplication of efforts, enhance project efficiency, streamline the referral process, and ultimately enable the project to reach the most vulnerable households.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTo add, Nusaned will coordinate with partners operating in Marjaayoun targeting PWSNs in the area.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtFurthermore, the proposed intervention places paramount importance on Protection against Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA), gender equality, and mainstreaming of protection considerations. Throughout the project's design, planning, implementation, and monitoring stages, Nusaned will incorporate specific activities and tools to address these concerns. This includes providing training and briefings on protection and PSEA to staff, volunteers, and stakeholders involved in the intervention. Nusaned will ensure gender balance within the field teams and will disseminate PSEA leaflets and helpline information to community members via phone messages.lt/pgtltpgtMoreover, the planned activities will be tailored to cater to the specific needs of women, men, girls, boys, elderly individuals, Persons with Specific Needs (PwSN), and other at-risk and vulnerable groups. All activities are aimed at ensuring the full and equal respect for the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnic, social, religious, or other background. Nusaned's protection component goes beyond the immediate life-saving activities that are often the focus during an emergency. ltbrgtlt/pgt
