The Provision of 1 round of Polio vaccination to the children  under  the age of 5 years  in Dar’a and Qunaitra,providing the refresher training to the vaccination teams, and supporting the independent monitoring for 2 rounds of vaccination This project aims at filling the critical gap in immunizing the children under the age of 5 years against polio in Dar’a and Qunaitra. In 2013, Syria reported an outbreak for the first time since 1999. Subsequently, 35 children were paralyzed. In 2014, the Polio Task Force campaign, a coalition formed by SAMS and eight Syrian and regional NGOs, successfully reached more than 1.4 million children in their door-to-door vaccination campaign in northern and northeastern Syria. Since then, not a single polio case was reported in Syria. Today, children in southern Syria are in dire need of vaccination and need immediate assistance. 

Polio mainly affects children under the age of five. One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis. 95 percent of those who contract the disease are asymptomatic, so they continue to be contagious without showing signs of the disease. The polio virus is highly contagious. 

In partnership with UNICEF and WHO, SAMS proposing a polio vaccination campaign to provide immunization against polio to more than 107,301 children under the age of five in southern Syria, in Daraa and Qunaitera, who have limited access to life-saving vaccinations, SAMS is also proposing to provide the vaccination team with the refresher training for the vaccination teams.

the Qatari Red Crescent ( QRC) will be leading the independent - external monitoring for the campaign, they will provide an independent assessment of the progress and the results being made by the polio vaccination campaign, 2 rounds of assessments will be needed to monitor the performance of the 2 rounds of Polio vaccination,
Supporting detection and response to diarrheal diseases (cholera) and setting up a diagnostic system for the diagnosis of most prevalent communicable diseases in southern Syria In 2005, JHAS was found on the basis of non-profitable serving of humanity and building the capacity of crises affected population groups to adopt optimal disaster preventive and response measures. One of the humanitarian calls to which JHAS is currently responding inside Syria, is contributing to cholera disease preparedness by ongoing implementation of a project entitled “Preventing the transmission of diarrhea disease (cholera)” in Dera’a and qounitra. Throughout project implementation period, JHAS has remained committed to communicate updates from the field to WoS/HNWG as member representatives of JHAS have been committed to join regular group meetings in Amman. 

The operational context in south Syria has been reported to become increasingly challenged by voiced concerns about the lack of infrastructure for sewage removal across southern Syria and thus, consequent increase prevalence of water-born illnesses. That is, concerns are particularly high in locations in southwest Dar’a, such as Zayzoun IDP camp, due to their proximity to the strategic aquifers that feed water supply to much of Daraa.

In line with present threats, the current project proposal, entitled “Supporting Detection and Response to Diarrheal Diseases and Setting up a Diagnostic System for the Diagnosis of Most Prevalent Communicable Diseases in South Syria” activities have been structured to complement ongoing JHAS activities within the same operational context. 
Under current proposed project, received OCHA/JHF will be utilized to fulfill project objectives:
1.	Support the technical capacity (training to Syrian health workers) of the existing health system in south Syria  to diagnose most prevalent communicable diseases Cholera, Hepatitis B and C, HIV, Measeles, German Measles, Mumps, Tuberculosis, Typhoid, Paratyphoid, Brucellosis, Malaria, Bilharzia, Leishmania, Syphillis, Gonorrhea, Chicken pox, rabies, Sheigella
2.	Stretch up the capacity of the existing health system to urgently respond to potential cholera outbreaks (provision of standard diagnostic kits and other laboratory tools).
The proposed outcome of this project is:
Strengthened case detection for cholera and other communicable diseases and building the capacity to respond to cholera outbreak
Supporting the provision of quality equitable access to Secondary/ life saving healthcare, Emergency obstetric and newborn care and war wounded refugee Girls, Boys, Women and Men in camps. The Health Sector Strategic Advisory Group (SAG) for the Humanitarian Response originally formed to support the Health Sector Working Group in Jordan has identified secondary referral care for priority cases, such as basic emergency obstetric care (BEmOC), comprehensive emergency obstetric care (CEmOC), neonatal care and war-wounded, including supporting priority medical referrals from the borders and camps as priority humanitarian health interventions needed to refill current gaps in health services provided to Syrians in Jordan.

In both camp and urban settings of Jordan, JHAS has facilitated comprehensive network of primary healthcare clinics and affiliating hospitals to which JHAS patients are referred to receive advanced healthcare services. 

Through proposed project, received funds will be utilized to support:

1.Camp Syrian refugee WGBM equitable access to secondary/life-saving referral services in JHAS affiliating hospitals within proper time frame.
2. Camp Syrian refugee women and girls’ equitable access to obstetric healthcare services in JHAS affiliating hospitals within proper time frame. (PNC, apportion, Dilation and curettage) in addition to other primary obstetric services not supported/ unavailable within JHAS clinics.
3. Camp Syrian refugee newborn girls and boys equitable access to advanced neonatal services in JHAS affiliating hospitals. 
4. War wounded Syrian refugee Girls, Boys, Women and men’s equitable access to receive appropriate surgical interventions within proper time frame in JHAS affiliating hospitals

As JHAS aims to sustain free access to secondary and tertiary healthcare to the Syrian refugees, the proposed OCHA –JHF will be utilized to complement ongoing JHAS referral activities under JHAS/UNHCR health project
addressing the critical gaps in the provision of medications by Providing support to facilities in Rural Damascus,procuring and distributing chronic medications This project aims to address the critical gap in medication for chronic diseases in Rural Damascus.SAMS implemented the same type of project previously and looking forward to continue in providing implementing this type of projects in the coming months. Medical personnel at SAMS supported facility and SAMS staff in Rural Damascus identified the most prevalent chronic diseases using the numbers reached during the previous project and through examining patient logs at the following supported facilities: Sham Clinics in Erbin, Jordan Clinics in Ein Terma, Otaya clinics in Al Marj, and Shefaa clinics in Douma. 
Based on this, SAMS got a grant through HPF to procure the chronic disease medications to 4 facilities in East Ghouta for four months, SAMS is proposing to continue providing  that the SAMS office in East Ghouta procure medication for chronic diseases for extra six months. SAMS has been providing some medication for chronic diseases on private donations and through a grant funded by HPF. However, this funding will ensure that patients in Rural Damascus have the medication needed to survive the Summer.
Provision of tailored cash assistance to meet the winterisation needs of 3330 vulnerable individuals (Syrian refugees and Jordanians) in the Mafraq Governorate In response to the Jordanian Humanitarian Fund (JHF) sector priorities and aligned with the Jordan Response Plan (JRP) sector specific objective, this project will provide winterisation assistance to 980 vulnerable households (4900 individuals) in Mafraq governorate: 686 Syrian refugee households residing in 30 Vulnerable Outreach Communities (VOCs) and 294 vulnerable Jordanian households in urban areas in proximity to these VOCs in the Mafraq Governorate of Jordan. Using ACTED’s experience and operational capacity in these locations, the action will target 4900 individuals (women, girls, men and boys), who will receive unconditional and unrestricted cash assistance to meet their essential winter needs. By empowering beneficiaries with the tool to best address their most pressing needs, the project will ensure high impact. In addition to providing cash for winterisation through money transfer company, ACTED will ensure that its emergency response team works with UNHCR so that any VOC harsh weather needs are addressed, particularly that of shelter.

REDUCING DEMAND FOR SAIGA HORN IN JAPAN AND SINGAPORE THE CRITICALLY ENDANGERED SAIGA ANTELOPE SAIGA SPP. IS HUNTED FOR ITS HORN, WHICH IS USED AS AN INGREDIENT IN TRADITIONAL ASIAN MEDICINES. UNSUSTAINABLE AND ILLEGAL HUNTING HAS LED TO SIGNIFICANT DECLINES IN SAIGA POPULATIONS, AND AS A RESULT, NO LEGAL INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN WILD SAIGA PRODUCTS HAS BEEN PERMITTED SINCE 2019. HOWEVER, LEGAL DOMESTIC MARKETS IN SOME COUNTRIES STILL EXIST, AND RECENT CUSTOMS SEIZURES SHOW THAT ILLEGAL TRADE IS STILL TAKING PLACE. REDUCING CONSUMER DEMAND FOR SAIGA HORN MEDICINAL PRODUCTS IS A CONSERVATION PRIORITY, BUT LITTLE IS KNOWN ABOUT CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR IN KEY IMPORTING COUNTRIES SUCH AS JAPAN, WHERE THE HORN IS USED IN SEVERAL OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINES. ANOTHER MAJOR CONSUMER COUNTRY, SINGAPORE, HAS BEEN THE FOCUS OF RECENT SAIGA HORN CONSUMER STUDIES, WHICH UNDERPINNED WORK TO REDUCE DEMAND AMONGST A KEY CONSUMER GROUP. WHILE THIS SHOWED PROMISING RESULTS, FURTHER WORK IN SINGAPORE IS NEEDED TO UNDERSTAND HOW SAIGA HORN CONSUMPTION MAY HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, AND HOW BEHAVIOUR CHANGE WORK CAN BE EXPANDED TO HAVE GREATER IMPACT. IN THIS PROJECT WE AIM TO REDUCE DEMAND FOR SAIGA HORN PRODUCTS IN JAPAN AND SINGAPORE BY FIRST COLLECTING INFORMATION ABOUT CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR IN BOTH COUNTRIES TO IDENTIFY THE MAIN DRIVERS OF CONSUMPTION. WE WILL THEN USE THIS
