Cash-for-rent Assistance Targeting Households with Persons with Disabilities (PWD) within Syrian Refugee and Vulnerable Host Community Populations in Jordan IOCC will provide emergency cash assistance for shelter to 400 Syrian refugee and vulnerable Jordanian host community households [composed of 2,000 women, girls, boys, and men (WGBM)] in Amman, Balqa, Madaba, and Zarqa governorates through conditional cash-for-rent (CFR) assistance.  IOCC will provide CFR assistance to vulnerable cases – particularly those needing emergency assistance to address threat of eviction, as well as those received via internal and external referrals – with a particular focus on households with persons with disabilities (PWD), linking distribution of CFR with response to and mitigation of protection risks for this vulnerable population.
Addressing Urgent NFI Needs of Newly Displaced Syrian IDPS in Informal Tented Settlements and Collective Shelters in Quneitra Governorate The activities proposed will seek to meet the needs of Syrian IDPs living in informal tented settlements (ITS) in Quneitra Governorate through the provision of NFI kitchen and hygiene kits.

Dedicated protection services for children and their families affected by child labor in Amman and Zarqa Governorates Jordan hosts 655,399 Syrian refugees, more than 50% of whom are children. Caught in a protracted crisis and collapsing household economies, refugees are increasingly turning to negative coping mechanisms—including child labor (CL). UNICEF’s Running on Empty study estimates at least 40% of boys up to 15 years old and 60% of 16 years or older are engaged in child labor. As most families keep girls at home, child labor primarily affects boys. Findings from the 3RP (Regional Refugee and Resilience Plan) show that child labor is the most prevalent form of violence facing Syrian refugee children, whose consequences are severe and last a lifetime: with injuries, school drop-out, and social isolation common. 
Given the protracted nature of the crisis, the local community capacity must be strengthened to combat child labor. Indeed, Tdh’s Needs Assessment of Child Labor – conducted in late 2016 - in Irbid, Amman, Azraq, and Jordan Valley highlights that holistic interventions are effective and required, and that child labor has to be addressed at the individual, community and national levels through a combination of direct services, capacity building, and awareness-raising. Jordan has already in place a three year Response Plan (2017-2019) which constitutes the strategic partnership between the Government, donors and NGOs. This project aims to respond specifically to objective 1 outlined in the Jordan Response Plan (JRP) by ensuring coordinated measures are taken and support is provided. Thus, the Tdh proposed project aims at preventing, protecting and reducing child labor, including its worst forms, among Jordanian and Syrian boys and girls. The specific objective is to ensure that 800 vulnerable, at risk or working children and their families are provided with specific social protection and assistance in Marka (Amman governorate) and Ruseifah (Zarqa governorate).
Tdh will use a combination of individual interventions with a community-based approach: providing services to children affected by child labor and creating an environment where community stakeholders discourage, prevent, and eradicate child labor. Tdh will also offer services for vulnerable children under the age of 18, with a focus on child labor (including the worst forms of child labor) and their families. Tdh will detect and accept referrals of child labor cases from a range of community actors including the Family Protection Units, local CBOs, UN agencies and INGOs.
Secondary and tertiary referral care for basic emergency obstetric care (BEmOC), comprehensive emergency obstetric care (CEmOC), neonatal care (NNC), and supporting priority medical referrals from the borders, camps and urban settings. The proposed project aims to support secondary and tertiary referral care for priority medical cases of Syrian refugees and vulnerable Jordanian host communities. JPS shall provide free referral for Basic Emergency Obstetric care and Newborn Care (BEmONC) and Comprehensive Emergency Obstetric and Newborn Care (CEmONC) and priority medical referrals from the borders, camps and urban settings.
 
This will be achieved through referral for Secondary and tertiary medical intervention, provision of medical consultation, and follow-ups at JPS Medical and Emergency Center (MEC) and JPS network hospitals during hospitalization. JPS will provide 262 case management services for the patients along with inpatient medical follow up.
 
This project will give the priority for cases in need of immediate medical support and access to in-hospital secondary and tertiary care that is not available at camps or border clinics, including pre-investigation, intensive medical  care, and emergency surgical intervention. This shall be implemented through coordination with the UNHCR and operational agencies in health care at camps and borders. JPS will also support the UNHCR and operational agencies in health care at urban settings by providing access for needed secondary and tertiary care.

JPS will refer 190 cases for Basic and comprehensive Emergency obstetric care, 57 cases for Neonatal care, and 17 cases of  lifesaving and emergency care. JPS project team will provide 262 medical follow-up services of hospitalized cases at JPS Medical and Emergency Center (MEC) and JPS network hospitals during hospitalization. JPS project team will provide case management services during hospitalization period. JPS will refer total of 262 cases for secondary and tertiary care at JPS network hospitals during the project duration of 6 months.
Winterization Assistance for Refugees and Vulnerable Hosting Communities in Jordan This project is in line with the JHF allocation strategy and the Sector Overall Objective of the Jordan Response Plan (JRP) for 2017-2019 which focuses on the provision of ‘life-saving basic needs assistance to Syrian refugee households and vulnerable families affected by the crisis inside camps and non-camps settings’. The project’s objective is to contribute to the social protection of refugees and host communities in the context of the Syria crisis in Jordan. The main project outcome is ‘to reduce protection risks and adoption of negative coping strategies by vulnerable refugee and Jordanian host community households during the winter season of 2017/2018 in Jordan’ by providing one-off winterization cash assistance to the most vulnerable refugees and Jordanians in host communities who are unable to meet their basic needs during the winter months.

The project will be implemented in the governorates Amman, Irbid, Mafraq, and Zarqa and will target a total of 950 vulnerable Syrian refugee and Jordanian households comprising of approximately 4,742 women, men, and children. The amount of assistance to be distributed will be in accordance with the Winterization Standard for 2017/2018 of the Shelter Working Group. The project will be implemented in partnership with Caritas Jordan.
Facilitating access to sustainable comprehensive rehabilitation services and other essential services for Syrian crisis affected most vulnerable population with functional limitations in camps and host communities As a continuation of the ongoing OCHA project (Oct-2016 – Apr-2017), this intervention aims to provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to people with functional limitations and to offer them tailored support to increase their access to services, thus reducing their vulnerability. In line with the Jordan Response Plan (JRP) 2017 which strategically emphasizes the need to maintain a strong focus on humanitarian aid delivery while strengthening crucial partnerships with local service providers, this proposed intervention is developed in a transition perspective and will aim to in host community, the full integration of HI fix point by the end of the project within existing local services well empowered by HI (see annex “Resilience Marker”) in camps, a progressive transfer of the caseload toward the local NGO, to be supported with appropriate capacity building and, in both host community and camps, switch from an active screening approach toward a more sustainable community-based approach identification. 
HI rehabilitation sessions are based on a holistic and a person-centered approach. Each intervention is tailored to each individual’s needs and can include Occupational Therapy (OT), Physiotherapy (PT), psycho-social support (PSS), assistive devices (AD) and Prosthesis and Orthotics (PampO) as required. This comprehensive functional approach to rehabilitation does not only guarantee the provision of quality services to persons with injuries and/or with disabilities but also aims to provide mid to long term answers to beneficiaries’ needs. This mid to long term tense is complemented by involving the caregiver in the rehabilitation sessions, ensuring that their own needs are addressed which in turns strengthens both the beneficiaries’ support networks and makes feasible the provision of follow-up support once HI intervention is completed.
Agricultural livelihoods support to vulnerable households in Southern Syria The agricultural sector previously played an important role in providing livelihoods options for the population of south Syria. The seven-year crisis in the country has however caused land degradation and decreased productivity. Findings from the Crop and Food Security Assessment Mission (CFSAM, 2016) undertaken by the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Food Programme (WFP) in November 2016 estimates that wheat production at country level has been 55 percent lower than the average production achieved prior to the crisis (2007-2011). Furthermore, it indicates that the quality of diet and micronutrient intake in Syria has markedly deteriorated with many households substantially reducing the consumption of meat, dairy products, eggs, vegetables and fruits. The study has also concluded that almost half of Syrian households are resorting to severe, often irreversible coping strategies including selling productive assets. A higher prevalence of severe livelihood coping strategies was observed in the areas that have been directly affected by the conflict, including Idleb, Quneitra, Dara’a, Aleppo, Hasakeh, Sweida, Hama and Rural Damascus governorates.

The livelihoods assessment conducted by Care International in 2015 indicated that agriculture is a sector which can potentially meet emergency, recovery and livelihood- economic development needs. Comparing with the recent FAO assessment 2016 on counting the cost for the agricultural sector in Syria after 6 years of crisis, 75% of the households’ samples were still growing food for their own consumption. 

This means that promoting livelihoods in Syria through “investing in the recovery of agriculture” will reduce the negative coping strategies and enhancing the economic resilience.  

The overarching objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of resilience and food security of vulnerable crisis-affected families in the southern Syria districts. The project aims at supporting vulnerable farmers and IDP families living in urban areas to grow their own nutritious food through distribution of vegetable seeds and supporting them with knowledge sharing and capacity building on homestead gardening and micro gardening.
Cash Assistance to Mitigate the Impact of Winter Weather and Dependence on Negative Coping Strategies among Vulnerable Syrian Refugees and Host Community Members in Jordan IOCC will provide one-off emergency cash assistance to meet the winterization needs of 530 Syrian refugee and vulnerable Jordanian host community families [composed of approximately 2,650 women, girls, boys, and men (WGBM)] in Amman, Balqa, Ajloun, and Jerash governorates through unconditional cash assistance via prepaid cards. In partnership with Jordan Kuwait Bank (JKB), IOCC will provide cash assistance to vulnerable cases unable to meet their basic needs during winter months through prepaid cards that can be used at shops where debit/credit cards are accepted or at ATMs to withdraw cash. IOCC will hold cash distributions/awareness sessions for selected beneficiaries to discuss winter key messages, the importance of purchasing items to protect their families during the winter, and how to use the prepaid cards. With a focus on those at risk of eviction (at least 40% of targeted beneficiaries) and those with specific protection needs, IOCC will provide unconditional cash assistance to mitigate the impact of harsh winter conditions while also mitigating protection risks related to negative coping strategies.
Addressing urgent water, sanitation, and hygiene needs of vulnerable and isolated Vulnerable Outreach Communities in the north of Jordan. The following project will provide emergency water, sanitation and hygiene services to 20 Vulnerable Outreach Communities (VOCs) in Mafraq Governorate in the north of Jordan. WASH committees, composed of at least 50% women and adolescents, will be established in each site and will be heavily involved in the implementation of the project. After receiving the appropriate training and support, and under the close supervision of ACTED, the WASH committees shall take the lead in the distribution of hygiene and WASH kits and the installation, maintenance and repair of WASH infrastructure provided, including latrines and sanitation blocks. ACTED will provide support and training throughout the project to ensure that all distribution and WASH installations meet sphere standards. WASH committee members will also be trained in good hygiene practices, and will carry out Hygiene Promotion (HP) sessions with members of their respective VOC sites alongside the distributions of hygiene kits. Through this intervention, ACTED has proposed a project design that will simultaneously address the urgent WASH needs of vulnerable populations, while concurrently empowering members of the community to become technically knowledgeable in WASH infrastructure, thereby becoming role models for hygiene best practices within their communities.
