Provision of multisectoral assistance in Reception Centers and the Planned Camp, including integrated protection and legal services, and improvement of living conditions in IDP sites in Northwest Syria This project aims to support the CCCM and Protection response to the immediate needs of most vulnerable displaced populations in northwest Syria. 
First, this project will continue the management of Planned Camp in Maareet Elkhwan, Idleb Governorate, which has been previously supported by THF. This project will coordinate the provision of multi-sectoral assistance for 4,205 IDP beneficiaries (774 men, 966 women, 1251 boys, 1214 girls), including temporary shelter, WASH, NFIs, protection, food, health services and education, for current IDPs and future arrivals through coordination with clusters, partners, and community committees. The project will enhance camp infrastructure by establishing a playground, additional latrines for the school tent, and ramps for family tents. Second, the project will support the management of three emergency Reception Centers (RCs) in Al Bab, A’zaz, and Mizanaz, Aleppo Governorate, for 46200 newly displaced persons (10455 men, 9999 women, 12936 boys, 12810 girls) and provide multi-sectoral assistance in coordination with sector partners. The activity will respond to the immediate needs of the most vulnerable IDPs by enhancing equitable access to services and protection. Third, through th Site Monitoring Team (SMT), the project will collect and assess CCCM relevant data on IDP movements, IDP site profiles, emergency needs, and informal sites across Syria. The project will provide reporting to the CCCM cluster with timely and quality information about changes in the humanitarian context and displacement dynamics inside Syria. Fourth, the project will strengthen basic infrastructure in informal IDP settlements for 18,000 IDP beneficiaries (3960 men, 4320 women, 4860 boys, 4860 girls). The project’s rehabilitation and construction of drainage systems and graveling of roads will improve accessibility of IDP sites. The project locations will be identified based on detailed topographic studies and needs assessments conducted by different CCCM Cluster members and IOM implementing partners (IP). The activities will take Housing Land and Property (HLP) issues into account. The CCCM response will assist 68,405 IDP beneficiaries (15189 men, 15285 women, 19047 boys, 18884 girls). Fifth, the project will support the response to the immediate needs of the most vulnerable crisis-affected IDPs in northwest of Syria by ensuring 5,000 family tents are available to members of the CCCM Cluster for the contingency stock. Contingency stock items will be pre-positioned in IOM’s Gaziantep warehouse and will be released to cluster partners in line with Cluster guidelines.

The protection component will strengthen community-based protection interventions and individually-targeted protection assistance to a total of 7562 beneficiaries (2806 men, 2506 women, 1125 boys, 1125 girls). The project will conduct consultations and dialogues with community committees on project design and implementation. Legal support will include awareness sessions and individual legal counseling. Protection Monitoring (PM) includes service mapping, Key Informant (KI) interviews, PM awareness sessions and referrals. Child Protection (CP) services will assist 250 boys and 250 girls and respond to family retracing and reunification and case management. IOM will assist with CP case management and an Individual Protection Assistant (IPA) will provide support to the most vulnerable cases, including children with disabilities. The services will be delivered in the two RCs in A’zaz and Mizanaz, the Planned Camp and in the camp’s adjacent communities by six mobile outreach teams. In an emergency, the outreach teams will provide Psychological First Aid (PFA), distribute dignity kits, disseminate protection key messaging, and provide referrals. With trainings IOM will increase the capacity of humanitarian actors in CP and legal case management. Per the request of the cluster, IOM will also procure 5000 dignity kits for women and girls in Idleb governorate.
