Supporting the Functionality of 3 Community- Based Isolation Centers in North-West Syria by Human Appeal International Under the Health Cluster/ Gaziantep Hub COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan. As a contribution by Human Appeal International (Hereinafter referred to as HAI) to the COVID-19 preparedness and response plan for North-west Syria, and in coordination with the COVID-19 taskforce of the health cluster Gaziantep hub, HAI seeks to support the operational costs of three community based isolation centers CBICs in three different locations within Harim and Jisr-Ash-Shugur districts/ North-West Idleb.
The project duration is 7 months and 1 day. However, the first 2 months and 1 day of which is for preparations required for the project including the procurement of the PPE, IPC items and essential medicines as well the provision of other medical and non-medical supplies needed. Also, the preparation phase is expected to serve as appropriate duration for Qatar Charity (The partner responsible for the establishment of the centers and handing them to Human Appeal) to undertake its part of the overall intervention. after the preparation phase of the project ends, Human Appeal plans to start providing the isolation and supportive therapy services for the beneficiaries in need at the proposed three CBICs.

The proposed CBICs are planned to provide the suspected and confirmed cases of COVID-19 with isolation measures and supportive therapy needed to improve their conditions and to decrease the transmission of the infection within the targeted communities. HA will ensure that the proposed three CBICs are staffed and equipped according to the guidelines communicated by the task-force, and proposes to support their functionality for a period of 5 months. The proposed CBICs will act as stations to manage the suspected/ confirmed cases of COVID-19 with mild symptoms through providing the required isolation and supportive therapy services, which will potentially contribute to the overall response plan and reduce the level of pressure applied to the hospital as being the stations of more advanced case management measures. During the first month of the project, HAI will ensure that all the preparations needed for the service provision are fulfilled including the procurement and provision of the medical and non-medical supplies, recruiting the needed human resources and establishing the required coordination channels with the other partners and coordination bodies connected to the response plan.
Respond to COVID-19 Pandemic Through Supporting CCTCs The project aims to support 5 COVID Community Treatment Centers (CCTCs) for 8 months, which are the most effective ones out of the 13 centers currently functional and operated by UOSSM.
These centers provide services for treating mild and moderate cases of COVID-19, as they are considered the largest percentage of confirmed cases, ensuring that only the severe cases in which the morbidity is high reach out to the case management hospitals and ICU. 
The intervention in the project aims to address the gap in response to the COVID-19 pandemic in northwestern Syria (northwest rural Aleppo and Idlib) by supporting CCTCs, where surveys will be conducted for all suspected cases of COVID-19 that meet the criteria for the swab (PCR) to be taken and If it confirmed, mild and moderate cases will be admitted, quarantined and treated ( except that are asymptomatic with suitable home circumstances for quarantines ), thus containing the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic and reducing morbidity and mortality rates.
The project also includes educating patients and teaching them how to use personal protective equipment and training them in practice.
These centers are located in Kafr Karmin, Atma, Sarmada, Armanaz, and Dana, which are in the hot area of OCHA allocation and have a population of (998861 for Dana District), 74430 for Armanaz District, and 176282 for Atarep District).
The WHO indicated on August 14, 2020, that studies are varied about Covid morbidity, In any case, global studies indicate that approximately 20 - 40% of positive cases asymptomatic while, 60 - 80% symptomatic (  5% of them needs ICU, 15% hospitalization, and 80%  CCTCs ).
According to the statistics of the previous 5 CCTCs, length of stay (Los), and the capacity, the number of beneficiaries was calculated at 333 per month for each center (1665 for 5 CCTC centers)The center will be as WHO/HC model that include 4 areas:
1-	Triage (first acceptance area in which application filled and IPC s provided) 
2-	Screening and physical evaluation in which admission, referral or home quarantine decision will take 
3-	Observation and isolation in which admitted cases 
4-	Recovery when patient prepared to discharge.

Improve the living conditions of conflict-affected populations through repairing of damaged houses and providing winterization needs while enhancing referral mechanisms to ensure accessibility and privacy for vulnerable groups in NW Syria This project contributes to life-sustaining assistance to the most vulnerable groups in Northwest Syria Idleb governorate sub-districts of Dana and Qourqeena through the following two interventions that designed based on attached Need Assessment (Attachment.1):

Firstly, provision house repairing for /600/ of partly damaged houses—Grade 2 for the IDPs and host communities (include 782 men, 836 women, 664 boys, and 718 girls). HLP due diligence will be included in implementation in order to achieve as much legal certainty about tenure as possible to ensure the security of tenure by verifying the ownership of the land or shelter and to prevent the exploitation and eviction of the IDPs. The percentage of IDPs will be 60%, and the rest will be from the host communities. Contractor- modality will be adopted of repairing houses, this modality supports an accountable, timely, and efficient use of resources while protecting the rights of the beneficiaries.

Secondly, provision winterization assistance (diesel stoves with accessories, diesel fuel) for the most vulnerable people 1350 HHs (include 1755 men, 1890 women, 1485 boys, and 1620 girls), 80% of the IDPs who living (outside camps) in the makeshift shelter or in damaged/unfinished buildings and they did not receive winter assistance in the past, also 20% of them host communities who meet the vulnerability criteria to avoid the sensitive. All the beneficiaries will be selected based on the vulnerability criteria, so the blanket distributions will be avoided.  The in-kind- modality will be adopted for distributions of the fuel and stoves. Diesel fuel was chosen for heating because it is the most common and available in the targeted areas, it is most efficient and relatively safe, so vulnerable HHs can install the stoves and use it easily, also it will be useful in cooking food in addition to heating. SRD will purchase them from local markets for revitalization, and will be responsible for quality control.

During the life of the project, SRD outreach workers will ensure that all vulnerable groups are involved in project activities, and will accompany the shelter teams during the door to door verification to detect of vulnerability cases in the beneficiaries' houses and refer them to nearby SRD community centers to respond (Attachment.2). In addition, they will ensure that technical assessments conducted by shelter teams meet the demand of persons with disabilities and the elderly. Also, they will deliver awareness messages for beneficiaries who receiving the winterization assistance to protect from COVID-19 and ensuring that the distribution process in line with protection principles.

Emergency food assistance for those affected by the conflict in Northwest Syria WFP through its network of cooperating partners operating inside Northwest Syria will provides monthly food assistance to some 1.1 million people. With CBHF funds of USD 12 million, WFP anticipates being able to procure food rations and distribute some 200,000 family food rations, enough to distribute general food assistance (GFA) for some 1 million people. For this allocation, WFP is proposing to use this funding for the Dana camps, which represents about 60% of WFP’s caseload and would allow us to cover 1.5 months of distributions in Dana. Given the high levels of food insecurity in North West Syria, WFP provides a 2,100 kcal basket.
Leishmaniasis control in north-western Syria (NWS) Under this project, MENTOR proposes to conduct leishmaniasis medical management activities in areas of west rural Aleppo and southern Idleb that have been identified under this allocation strategy as priorities due to the high number of recent returnees and lack of available services and resources. MENTOR has previously worked in these areas up until late 2019/early 2020, however these services had to be suspended due to the poor security situation at the time. These areas are now experiencing a high caseload of leishmaniasis and are in acute need of leishmaniasis specialist services. 

The proposed activities fall under Health sector as follows:

1-Health
MENTOR is proposing to launch 1 leishmaniasis mobile clinic (MC) in Jabel Saman district (serving Atareb and Daret Azza sub-districts) of West Rural Aleppo and 1 MC in Jisr-Ash-Shugur and Ariha districts of Idleb governorate as well as supporting 13 health facilities (HFs) in these same locations with leishmaniasis diagnostic and treatment support and training on leishmaniasis case management. Support will include an essential supply chain of leishmaniasis diagnostic and case management commodities and materials, regular technical training and coaching and provision of an intensive 2-day training course for health care workers from supported HFs on all aspects of diagnosis and treatment of leishmaniasis.
COVID-19 Response Related Supply Chain Support According to the 22 April 2020 dated 'Northwest Syria Task Force Situation Update', there have not yet been any confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Northwest Syria. The World Health Organization through the coordination of UNOCHA and the Health Cluster based out of Gaziantep have put into action the 'COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan’ to ensure that the humanitarian community takes the necessary steps in preparing for any COVID-19 related eventuality. Even though the limited number of laboratory tests conducted so far have not produced any COVID-19 positive results, this does not negate the fact that Northwest Syria is classified as a ‘High Risk’ area in terms of the COVID-19 epidemic, as stated by the World Health Organization. 

The global COVID-19 outbreak has led to a great imbalance of the supply and demand dynamics of acutely needed COVID-19 response related medical supplies and equipment. These supplies and equipment include Personal Protective Equipment (PPE’s) as well as ICU ventilators.

This project aims to support the COVID-19 response related supply chain of the international humanitarian community under the framework of the strategic principles put forward under the Northwest Syria COVID-19 Preparedness and Response Plan.

The project will thus procure within Turkey and deliver to World Health Organization (WHO) warehouse in Northwest Syria vital COVID-19 response related medical equipment and materials. These medical supplies will then be distributed to beneficiaries in Northwest Syria by the WHO. These medical equipment and materials will be consisting of Personal Protective Equipment as well as ventilators for medical staff working in the front lines of the COVID-19 response in Northwestern Syria.

As decided in coordination with the Health Cluster, the composition of the Personel Protective Equipment will be as follows: 1.300.000 units of 3 Layer Surgical Masks, 200.000 units of EN149 / FFP2 Masks, 100.000 units of Protective Suits, 27.000 units of Safety Goggles, 1.100.000 units of Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves. In addition 35 units of ICU ventilators will also be procured and delivered  to health facilities in need across the border in Northern Syria.
