Enhancing access to livelihood opportunities, essential services, and community infrastructure in NW Syria through a flexible integrated ERL programming approach (Envelope 1) ltpgtWhite Hands (WH) proposes a 7-month action that uses a flexible integrated programming approach that includes a comprehensive ERL response with a focus on appropriate flood prevention works on roads and related infrastructures and enhancement of humanitarian assistance delivery and access to essential services, main markets, and livelihood opportunities in prioritized IDPs sites and nearby host-communities affected by poor weather conditions in Idleb and Aleppo governorates.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project formulation has been based on needs identified by the ERL cluster, supported by an MSNA conducted by WH in Oct 2023 and firsthand consultations with camps management and local authorities/stakeholders. It aims to rehabilitate crucial civilian infrastructures, including roads and related drainage systems, and provide vocational training and livelihood opportunities to enhance resilience and living conditions of 32828 most vulnerable IDPs (7129 women, 6505 men, 8598 girls, and 10596 boys), including 451 PWDs currently residing in 26 camps in the sub-districts of Dana (Idleb) and Atareb (Aleppo).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTo achieve this objective, WH will conduct the following ERL interventions:ltbrgt1. Rehabilitation of 2 main access roads (7.3 km) serving 16 camps in Idleb governorate (Dana SD) and 10 camps in Aleppo governorate (Atareb SD). The proposed targeted roads are currently heavily damaged and have been affected by floods in most of their parts in recent years. This action will lead to timely, safer, and uninterrupted access for humanitarian aid and workers to more than 26 IDP camps in 5 communities. This will prevent access issues and disruption of linkages with host communities, affecting local economic recovery, and will improve movement and mobility for livelihood opportunities.ltbrgtThe rehabilitation of the roads will notably improve the implementation of WH and other NGOs' activities in camps, such as IYD/WFP, ACTED, ATAA, SR, IhsanRD, Shafak, and HIHFAD, which carry out WASH, CVA, food, and winterization activities. The targeted roads will also enhance market linkages between IDP sites, host communities, and main markets to facilitate greater market functionality and reduce dependence on in-kind assistance.ltbrgtThis component will be guided by TWiG on Floods Risk Reduction, Good Practice Guide for Road Rehabilitation in NW Syria, Mar 2022, and ensuring that HLP documentation is well carried out in parallel with field coordination with the relevant local councils.ltbrgt2. Provide vocational training to 200 IDP applicants in the targeted camps, including youth, women, and PWDs, then support the top 50 VT graduates with Small Business Grants to rehabilitate, develop, or start a social or business entrepreneurship initiative or income-generating pilot projects.ltbrgt3. Additionally, this project will be combined with providing short-term livelihoods for 25 vulnerable HHs residing in the targeted camps through CfW.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThis intervention will complement and integrate with another WH's submission to SCHF under this allocation that aims to provide Cash for Winter and Cash for Food to the same IDP beneficiaries identified as part of this intervention. Additionally, the proposed road rehabilitation will complement and integrate with other road rehabilitation works recently completed by WH since the proposed targeted road under this intervention (Diesel market road) is connected with Al Kamouneh road, which has been rehabilitated in the framework of the completed SCHF-funded project (under the 2022 SA2).lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn the framework of this project, WH will ensure information sharing points and distribution sites are suitable and accessible for PWDs, conduct AAP sessions to inform about requesting special assistance (transportation/delivery) for PWD/elderly/pregnant BNFs, consult with stakeholders to identify excluded beneficiaries, implement PWDs sensitive infrastructures where is applicable (such as accessible pedestrian crossing, curb ramps, special entrance, etc.), and train staff on inclusion.ltbrgtlt/pgt
