In total, this project will benefit 8725 individuals (as disaggregated in the affected persons tab).
Addressing immediate needs of the cholera outbreak across Syria Proposed  interventions under this project will support the implementation of immediate response activities in the sectors of Health and WASH to reduce avoidable morbidity and mortality due to AWD/cholera, reduce transmission of the disease in affected areas, and prevent/minimize the risk of introduction of the outbreak to other high-risk areas.  
The proposed activities under health sector will contribute to SO1 and SO2  through the  implementation of the below : 
- Enhance timely detection, confirmation, and investigation of AWD/cholera alerts to support rapid implementation and prioritization of response activities
- Strengthen laboratory capacity for the rapid diagnosis of cholera cases in support of timely and effective epidemiological investigations and response activities
-Increase access to treatment for suspected cholera patients and strengthen the capacity to manage cases at all levels through the implementation of standard management protocols for reducing morbidity due to cholera and enhancing infection prevention and control practices in treatment facilities
- Strengthen risk communication and community engagement and provide key messages to vulnerable communities for AWD/cholera prevention and response through reliable channels of communication and community feedback
Improving access to WASH infrastructure and services in underserved communities The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has provided timely and appropriate assistance and protection to vulnerable and conflict affected populations in Syria since 2015. This proposed intervention, and NRC’s broader country strategy for Syria, are in accordance with the inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2022-2023 and are based on first-hand assessment of needs in target locations. NRC closely coordinates with all relevant humanitarian coordination forums, as well as its national host agency, Syria Trust for Development. NRC currently has 188 national staff and 10 international staff. 49% of NRC’s workforce are female. 

Under the first SHF standard allocation of 2022, NRC proposes implementation of project activities, covering the period from the 1st of September 2022 to the 31st of August 2023, with a focus on the delivery of WASH assistance in selected locations within the governorates of Al-Hasakeh, Dar’a, and Idleb. Activities include rehabilitation of a borehole and equipping it with a solar system as well as rehabilitating parts of the associated damaged water network that supplies water to three villages in Tal Hmis sub-district, Al-Hasakeh governorate. In Dar’a governorate, NRC proposes the provision of solar systems for pumps in Ein Thakar and Hamata pumping stations in Ash-Shajara sub-district, which will increase access to clean water for 10 communities. Finally, NRC will also provide support to solid waste management to improve public health and hygiene in Tamanaah sub-district of Idleb governorate. NRC will also complement the solid waste management support projects with hygiene promotion activities.
The project of distributing winter clothes to children in the camps This project will be implemented in Al-Hasakah Governorate in two locations: Tal Al-Aswad camp (Roj) and Ain Al-Khadra camp (Norouz) with the aim of providing life-saving and life-sustaining NFI support. For IDPs and refugees in both camps, especially during winter when vulnerable families do not have access to basic items (winter clothes).
For this reason, the project is of great importance because it provides warmth and protection from weather factors and the harsh cold of winter.
 During the project period, 4200 winter clothing bags for children (boys and girls) from 3 to 15 years old will be distributed in the two camps of Tal Al-Aswad (Roj) and Ain Al-Khadra (Newroz). A bag (group) will be distributed for each child, including the following:
winter jacket for both sexes ( boys amp girls)
sweaters or jacket for unisex
Winter jeans trouser
underwear (upper amp lower)
winter pants for unisex
 indoor pajamas
scarf
gloves
socks (a pair)
hat
The above-mentioned set of clothes will be placed in a cardboard bag, and the distribution process will take place inside the camp to displaced children and refugees, where 1400 will be distributed every month for three months.
Sham El Khair Society will implement the project in accordance with quality and quality control requirements for the entire distribution service and for non-food specifications in order to meet the required needs. The project will apply mainstreaming protection through the principles of do no harm and non-discrimination in project design, implementation and monitoring. Priority will be given to the safety and security of the distribution site, in addition to meaningful access to persons with disabilities, with the possibility of the distribution team going to persons who are not able to reach the distribution site.
Lifesaving interventions through enhancing meaningful access to safe WASH services addressing malnutrition in Rural Damascus and Dar’a Governorates (PRIORITY 1) Oxfam proposes for a 14-months humanitarian response in four of the most vulnerable communities in the governorates of Rural Damascus in (Babella and Harasta sub-districts) and Dar’a (Kherbet Ghazala sub-district), reaching the 42,560 men, women, boys, girls in locations with inter-sector and nutrition severity score 4, and WASH severity score 3/4, in underserved and Hard to Reach (HTR) areas. The project addresses risks of malnutrition through WASH interventions in communities with high nutrition needs caused by limited and unsafe water supply, damaged sanitation network, unsafe disposal and improper management of solid wastes risks to COVID-19 and WASH-related disease transmission due to poor hygiene behaviours and inability to afford hygiene essential items. This is aligned with priority 1 of SHF's 2022 allocation strategy in strengthening nutrition response through the provision of multi-sector nutrition assistance in the areas with the highest severity of needs and poor response reach. 
Under Outcome 1, the project will reach 42,560 individuals through the rehabilitation of 4 water supply systems (one in each of Misraba, Modira, Yalda and Kherbet Ghazala), 34 spot rehabilitation of the water networks in Modira and Misraba communities, and 42 spot rehabilitation of sanitation systems in Yalda, Mesraba, and Modira. In addition, in Kherbet Ghazale, Oxfam will carry out two sewage spots rehabilitation, 50 septic holes cleaning, and the provision of an anti-blockage trailer which will benefit all the residents and ensure the sustainability of the intervention.
Under Outcome 2, the project will improve hygiene behaviours and practices by increasing access to WASH supplies and knowledge for 12,500 people in all targeted communities of Rural Damascus (Yalda, Misraba, and Modira). Oxfam will distribute 2,500 soap kits. Distribution will be coupled with hygiene promotion sessions conducted by 50 Community-Based Volunteers (CBVs) identified and trained by Oxfam on topics such as hygiene (handwashing), Oral Rehydration Salt (ORS) preparation, COVID19 prevention messages, and vaccination. Oxfam will also conduct in the same communities targeted by hygiene promotion by Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and will create women and adolescent girls peer support groups (6 groups in total) as entry point in the community to sensitize community members on gender issues. Oxfam will also conduct three rapid gender field analysis in the target villages during the project cycle to promote gender behaviour changes of women and adolescent girls on their MHM as well as the positive impact of affording clean and sufficient water in the target communities to decrease waterborne disease.
Education and Resilience in Raqqa and Aleppo (Priority 2) his project uses an integrated multi-sector approach and links Education in Emergencies to long term development. The project will take place in the Education sector recommended locations, one location rates 3 on the education severity scale and on the multi-sector severity scale (Dayer Hafir in Aleppo), while one location rates 4 on both scales (Mansura subdistrict in Al-Thawra in Raqqa). Identified locations and schools in each selected area were coordinated and agreed with the local authorities (Department of Education) and DoEs have recommended those areas as being in high need and a high potential for return. The main activities of the project include school rehabilitation, provision of furniture to those schools, organizing NFE classes for out of school children and children at risk of dropping out, increasing quality of education through teacher training and providing teaching and learning materials to schools and improving protection and psychosocial wellbeing of children in and outside the schools. At the same time, building on the previous experience and following Education sector suggestions, the project will support graduating students enrolling in national exams with transport support to reach the exam locations from students’ homes. School rehabilitation works will include strong WASH elements by rehabilitating segregated and dignified WASH facilities in the schools, accessible for the children with disabilities, as well as rehabilitation/installation of the water points that will be accessible not only for the students and staff of the schools, but also to the surrounding communities, thus expanding the number of people benefiting from the project. Hygiene materials will be distributed to school and students and students will receive COVID-19 awareness sessions. All schools will receive solar panels that will power the water pumps as well as provide lights in the schools that work in two shifts, especially during the darker winter season. This project will also support 45 students from the targeted locations in Aleppo to access non-formal technical and vocational training (TVET). 

In total, 1240 children will be positively affected by this project and more than 200 adults will benefit from the project activities.
AWD/Cholera response for IDPs, Returnees, and Host Communities living in AWD/cholera affected areas in the southern and eastern rural Aleppo governorate Oxfam proposes a 6-month humanitarian response in communities of Jabal Saman, As Safira sub-district,, and Dayr Hafir sub-districts (Aleppo governorate), where the cases of Cholera have registered high numbers of morbidity and mortality, and are at high risk of transmission of the disease. Under Outcome 1, the project will increase access to safe water supply for 140,000 people, through the rehabilitation of three water pumps serving 130,000 people in Aleppo city and the spot rehabilitation of the sanitation network system serving 10,000 people. Moreover, the project will also conduct 8 spot rehabilitation of sanitation systems in As Safira community as to remove excreta from both households and community environments and reduce the risk of contamination, serving  10,000 households. Under Outcome 2, the project will improve hygiene behaviours and practices to support people resistance again the Cholera infection by increasing access to WASH supplies and knowledge for 16,000 people in all targeted communities of Aleppo (Dayr Hafir, Tal Shgheib). Oxfam will distribute 3,200 cholera kits. Distribution will be coupled with hygiene promotion sessions on topics such as: (i) how to break transmission routes through handwashing with soap and use of toilets (ii)prevent severe dehydration cases through Oral Rehydration Solution (ORS) (iii) safe water chain management (iv) safe food handling (v) referrals of suspected cases to the respective health centers. Ministry of Health (MoH) pre-approved Information, Education, Communication (IEC) materials will be distributed during awareness and distribution activities. Through the proposed interventions under Outcome 1 and Outcome 2, Oxfam is aiming to contribute to reducing morbidities and mortalities caused by this cholera outbreak for 156,000 people (31,200 men, 35,880 women, 45,240 boys, 43,680 girls). This is aligned with the 1st Reserve Allocation strategy’s strategic objective to “address immediate needs stemming from the cholera outbreak in the affected areas and prevent/minimize the risk of introduction of the outbreak to other high-risk areas in Syria”. Oxfam has the capacity to rapidly mobilize its WASH teams since all required approvals have been obtained as general approvals for 22-23 projects from MoFA, and has already started implementing AWD/Cholera interventions in Aleppo governorate as per Oxfam’s AWD/Cholera Response Plan 2022.
Rehabilitation of bakeries and improving access to income-generation opportunities The Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) has provided timely and appropriate assistance and protection to vulnerable and conflict affected populations in Syria since 2015. This proposed intervention, and NRC’s broader country strategy for Syria, are in accordance with the inter-agency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) for 2022-2023 and are based on first-hand assessment of needs in target locations. NRC closely coordinates with all relevant humanitarian coordination forums, as well as its national host agency Syria Trust for Development. NRC currently has 188 national staff and 10 international staff. 49% of NRC’s workforce are female. 

Under the first SHF standard allocation of 2022, NRC proposes the implementation of project activities, covering the period from the 1st of September 2022 to the 31st of August 2023, with a focus on the delivery of ERL assistance in selected locations within the governorates of Dar’a and Aleppo. Activities include the rehabilitation of two bakeries in Ash-Shajara sub-district in Dar’a governorate, and Tadaf sub-district in Aleppo governorate. The intervention will include the light rehabilitation of the bakery buildings as well as the provision of production lines. For the bakery to be rehabilitated in Abu Jabbar community, Tadaf sub-district in Aleppo governorate, NRC will also rehabilitate the borehole that supplies water to the bakery.
Urgent WASH support to prevent Cholera breakout by rehabilitation of water network, and water station for the vulnerable households and communities in Al-Sukkariyah, Ashayer, Suwayyah and Al-Hiri in Abu Kamal and Deir Ezzor city and its rural within Deir Ezzor governorate. The objectives of the proposed project are to immediately provide emergency and basic WASH services to vulnerable people in the highly vulnerable communities of Al-Sukkariyah, Ashayer, Suwayyah and Al-Hiri in Abu Kamal, Deir Ezzor Governorate. This project considers the highly anticipated return of IDP’s to the area, as the number of returnees remains high. However, due to the extensive destruction caused by the conflict, they face massive difficulties in resettling back into their communities. 
The water network and water station in the proposed areas of operation are severely damaged or out of service, according to our assessment, there is no water network to provide access to clean water and water station is heavily damaged, and led to people obtaining water supplied directly from the river without any type of sterilization or treatment. In addition to the economic downturn, the increase in the cost of basic hygiene materials, the sharp drop in the value of the currency, and the unprofitability of hygiene materials, the current WASH situation is mainly exacerbating the spread of cholera and diarrhoea, as well as the overall health situation due to absence of health care and near health facilities, and lack of awareness about prevention of cholera and hygiene practices. 
It is only a matter of time before the impact becomes uncontrollable unless action is taken quickly. This urgent need is being addressed by rehabilitating the entire water network in Ashayer to provide all neighborhoods with a functioning water network. In addition, the water station in Al-Sukkariyah will be rehabilitated to facilitate access to clean water, and Cholera kits will be distributed in Suwayyah and Al-Hiri in Abu-Kamal. The overall goal is to provide emergency WASH services to 72500 people from the affected host, returnee and IDP communities, reduce outbreak of Cholera disease caused by the current lack of safe water, improve safe and equitable access to clean water, improve hygiene conditions, and prevent further spread of Cholera and waterborne diseases. Moreover, reduce cases of GBV and other protection risks, in particular for women, children and people with disabilities caused by unhealthy coping mechanism to obtain water.
Increasing access to quality education and promoting resilience among most vulnerable children and their families in Rural Damascus (Priority 2). This project aims to contribute to a safe and equitable access to quality formal and non-formal education opportunities and to enable resilience-building for crisis-affected children in identified severe needs' areas of Rural Damascus. The project targets highly in need area of that governorate, in particular the sub-district of Sa' Sa', Qatana (sc. 4), let directly benefitting around one thousand children and two communities. This intervention has been planned and it will be implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Education, already guaranteeing  to AVSI the access to the area, as well as with local stakeholders. The project plans to develop BTL campaign, catch-up courses, remedial classes, to provide teachers and students incentives, inclusive and green soft rehabilitation of schools, provision of schools’ furniture, quality trainings for teachers, etc. in two selected and assessed schools in the district and to the neighboring communities. The project is based on the previous long AVSI experience in a similar SHF educational project in Rural Damascus and it will be developed in collaboration with UN clusters and in synergy with other INGOs' (e.g. ADRA) and NGOs' (e.g. Ahl al-Sham Initiative Foundation) interventions in the area, strengthening resilience, improving protection environment and promoting early recovery. The project idea was already approved under HPC system as priority for HRP 2022.
WASH Action for Tackling Cholera (WATCH) in Deir Ezzor The WASH Action for Tackling Cholera (WATCH) project addresses the humanitarian needs resulting from the AWD (cholera) outbreak and intends to provide an effective response through the WASH sector to ensure appropriate lifesaving WASH prevention measures to control the spread of AWD/cholera, with special attention to at-risk populations in Deir ez-Zour.

Activities will take place in the area of Sbeikhan, Mayadeen in Deir el- Zour for a total of 20,000 beneficiaries (5,200 men, 6,000 women, 4,400 boys and 4,400 girls). The project will provide access to clean water to 20,000 individuals in 1 community. The area was prioritized through consultations with stakeholders and based on ADRA’s access and presence. Through these actions the project aims to tackle the main causes of the spread of AWD (lack of access to safe and sufficient water) and to lower the risk of infection in the targeted areas. Project beneficiaries will include the whole targeted community (men, women, boys, girls, adolescents, PwD, and the elderly) using cost effective and sustainable methodologies including the usage of solar energy.

ADRA will provide solarization for the water system in close coordination with the Directorate of Water Resources, local authorities and water unit to ensure the effective operation and maintenance following completion of the project and ADRA will arrange the training of local workers and provision of spare parts / tools in order to ensure the sustainability of impact of the project. Appropriate mechanisms are in place to ensure the protection of beneficiaries including PSEA and GVB, and gender concerns are taken into consideration in the design and implementation of the project. 

ADRA is coordinated with various stakeholders such as the Ministry of Water Resources (MoWR), the local governorate and municipalities, other NGOs and the WASH sector. The MoWR is already aware of the planned interventions and is ready for the quick issuing of approvals and dialogue has been established with other organizations for avoiding overlap. Based on ADRA's extensive experience in similar projects in the targeted areas and the project design, the proposed activities can be completed within 6 months.
