Addressing Dire Multi-sectoral Issues for Resilience in Emergencies (ADMIRE) Project (Priority 2) The Addressing Dire Multi-sectoral Issues for Resilience in Emergency (ADMIRE) Project addresses the multi-sectoral needs of the vulnerable Syrian households in the Governorates of Aleppo and Rural Damascus (RD) aiming to benefit approximately 23,045 individuals (6,390 men, 6,390 women, 5,145 boys and 5,120 girls, without double count) through the complementary activities including the following: 

FSA sector - Aleppo (Maskane): rehabilitation of a part irrigation canal in Al Bath Farms benefitting 1,820 individuals (farmer men and women), in collaboration with AAH. The collaborative approach will allow rehabilitation of majority of the canal responsible for irrigation of essential crops such as barley and wheat (HRP HSYR22-188342-1) to improve value chain for vulnerable young children, children, adolescents, young adults, middle-age adults and older adults as well as PWDs and the elderly contributing to building their resilience. If AAH and Rescate do not secure the funding for the irrigation canal, this will not impact ADRA’s plan as the intervention does not depend on their activities and will impact beneficiaries directly.

WASH sector - RD: a resilience building activity of provision of solar systems for drinking water boreholes in Qatana and Sa’sa’ for 21,000 individuals to increase the water supply into the system for the vulnerable households (HRP HSYR22-WSH-188410-1). This will complement the education activities in the area and ADRA’s other activities in rehabilitation of water systems, NFE program and rehabilitation of schools funded by other donors. Additionally, this activity is complementary to AVSI’s proposed education and protection activity where ADRA will refer beneficiaries to AVSI for any education/protection support required. The activity will also contribute to the protection of the beneficiary as they will have adequate access to water. 

Education sector – RD: rehabilitation of school (including furniture and classroom heaters for winterization response) in Hajar Al Aswad expecting to benefit approximately 225 children (currently the school is out of order), provision of school supplies and sanitation and hygiene supplies to the same students children (HRP HSYR22-EDU-188333-1) 

The ADMIRE project was designed in coordination with all stakeholders, including the WASH sub/sector in Damascus/RDs, the Education sector and FSA sub/sector in Aleppo. 
All activities will be implemented directly building on ADRA's experience in the targeted sectors and areas of intervention. 
The project aims to address the identified gaps in the sectors of WASH in RD (Arneh and Sa’sa), where ADRA is already addressing the education gaps, complementing GOPA’s planned efforts in sanitation system (in Qatana) and SARC’s efforts to increase water through the provision of generators in Sa’sa (due to the lack of fuel the generators are not operated) as well as FAO’s intervention of rehabilitation of boreholes with the provision of solar system for a school (in Sa’sa). Integration of these efforts will contribute to improved resilience of the targeted population. 
In Hajar Aswad, the project will significantly contribute to the education of the local population and promote return of the population. Currently, PUI is also contributing with the rehabilitation of another school (needed due to the high number of planned returns) and already contributed to the protection by the provision of solar street lights and rehabilitation of a health center while ICRC distributed community water tanks. 
In Aleppo, the rehabilitation of the irrigation canal is designed to be complementary program with  AAH, allowing the comprehensive response and increased impact. ADRA’s section of the irrigation canal can be rehabilitated independently and there will be no impact on the project if other partners do not secure any funding. This also complements ADRA's ongoing activity in rehabilitation of damaged apartments under the shelter sector
