Improve the shelter conditions in informal camps by covering the basic infrastructure to prevent floods and enhance IDP access to their shelter. The harsh weather conditions had exacerbated the already dire needs of the IDP population, including shelter, and non-food items (NFIs). As floods were a regular occurrence during the last winter season. Almost 123,000 IDPs across 310 IDP sites in northwest Syria were reportedly affected by recent floods. Over 22,000 tents were either destroyed or damaged.
With this deterioration of the living conditions, and lack of assistance to provide adequate shelter with considering the current outbreak of COVID-19 and rising number of confirmed cases in northwest Syria, degraded sanitation conditions and overcrowding in camps and informal sites are of particular concern this and coming winter.
IYD through this project aims to ensure the displaced Syrian families live in Improved shelter conditions in informal camps by covering the basic infrastructure to prevent floods and enhance IDP access to their shelter.
Therefore affected locations will be supported with camp improvement and enhancing the infrastructure, to mitigate and protect IDPs' shelters from expected flooding. The main activities will provide shelter services for the IDPs as the following: 
1-graveling of the camp's roads to enhancing the status of the roads inside the camps to facilitate the IDPs movement especially during the winter season, IYD will install two layers of gravel with an average of 30 cm thickness (or more as needed) and compact with mechanical machines to form a solid layer above the roads to protect them from any rainfall.
2-Drainage system: the poor drainage and persistent standing water in and around shelters can lead to numerous health and sanitation problems in camps and informal sites extending the adverse effects of flooding beyond the event itself as well the camps are not prepared to contain the rainfall volume, to reduce the probability of a flood in the camps IYD will establish a drain system in the lowlands and beside the roads, this drain system connected with manholes and closed drainage system to collect the rainwater
this network resends the rainwater to the mainline, this mainline extends outside the camps to the nearest valley or sewage line. Moreover, culverts under main roads will be constructed when required.
3-Tents ground insulation (tent leveling): insulating the tent's grounds by raising the ground 20 cm up the ground by fixing bricks around the tent and fill the middle space with gravel and soft sand to be compacted manually or mechanically to make a fixed base to tents.
This activity prevents moisture and medium flood during rainstorms entering the tent, also makes an insulation layer that prevents the entry of insects and rodents into the tent.
4-Installing of solar lighting poles: To improve the assess in the IDPs sites and  the camp's facilities through installing solar lighting poles in the main and the sub roads in each camp, those solar poles will provide protected access to the IDPs in the targeted sites.
Provision of Monthly Regular Food Baskets in Camps in Northern Syria According to HRP 2020 prepared by UNOCHA, an estimated 7.9 million Syrians are food insecure and an additional 1.9 million people are at risk of food insecurity an estimated increase of 8 per cent from last year’s. The main drivers of food insecurity in Syria are a set of interrelated factors related to the deteriorating economic environment, loss of livelihoods and reduced production capacity, limited physical and financial access to food, high prices and inflation, reduced purchasing power and continuous livelihood depletion of the most vulnerable populations.

Aid supplies are regularly distributed to camps and orphanages established by the Turkish Red Crescent in Syria. In this context, with the support of the Turkish Red Crescent's valuable donors, the needs of the affected people are met in Syria. As it is known, these families, who have been living under the influence of war for a long time, have a lot of needs. In this context, food aid is planned for 968 families in need living in Dostluk, Elbil and Yalnız Değilsiniz 2 Camps in Azez and Idleb. Monthly food baskets with FSL Cluster standards will be distributed for those families in need for 8 months period.
WASH and Education  Supplies' prepositioning for North West Syria The project aims at prepositioning of WASH and Education supplies for vulnerable population ins North West Syria
Envelope 1: Life-saving Winter NFI Assistance to the Most Vulnerable People in Underserved Areas of Afrin District. The proposed action will deliver life-saving winter NFI assistance and address critical winter gaps for 15,000 acutely vulnerable people in Afrin sub-district, considered high priority for this allocation. Informed by recent market and need assessments, a cash-based solution to winter NFI needs is proposed to ensure maximum flexibility and dignity for beneficiaries and to support local markets and economies. The cash-based approach builds on Big Hearts extensive experience with Cash and Voucher Assistance (CVA) programming to meet winter, non-food, shelter, food and other needs, including multiple, successful SCHF funded actions including CVA.  

One-off Winter Cash Top-ups of $150 per household will be distributed to total 3,000 highly vulnerable households from January to early March 2022 to protect thermal comfort and household wellbeing. This component complements Big Hearts ongoing winterization response funded by ECHO and IOM in neighboring areas of Afrin district and addresses gaps in the overall response identified through coordination with the SNFI cluster and other members. Winter assistance will be based on needs and target the most vulnerable households based on the eligibility and vulnerability criteria recommended in the cluster 'Guidance Note on Winterization for Northwest Syria' (updated August 2020). This will include 1,085 particularly vulnerable households with Pregnant or Lactating Women (PLW) currently targeted by Big Heart in partnership with UNICEF for repeat, cash assistance designed to improve nutrition outcomes through increasing economic access to food. Big Heart will coordinate closely with other FS actors, specifically Shafak, in targeted areas to ensure winter cash beneficiaries also receive complementary food security assistance from other actors. This is in line with Big Hearts integrated approach to winterization assistance and seeks to protect the cash transfer value for winter NFIs. 

The cash-based approach to winter NFI needs has been informed by an extensive Needs Assessment completed by Big Heart in targeted areas of Afrin sub-district during November 2021. This included a market assessment, Key Informant Interviews (KIIs) and a household survey involving 238 respondents. The assessment confirmed local markets were accessible and able to respond to winter NFI needs and that lack of purchasing power represents the greatest barrier to meeting winter NFI needs. 

The threat of the COVID 19 pandemic continues to be considered as a cross-cutting theme through-out the design of the action, as detailed under Section 3 (Link with Allocation Strategy).

Facilitating safe access to and within IDP camps in Idleb GOAL proposes to facilitate safe access within IDP camps in Idleb Governate, thus contributing to safer and more dignified living conditions for IDPs, and facilitating better access to basic needs. Through the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure, focusing on roads and rainwater drainage systems within camps, 7,658 individuals will benefit from the intervention in Maaret Tamsrin subdistrict. 
Key activities will include:
- Repair of damage caused by recent flooding and 
- Mitigation against the risk of future flooding, 
- Installation of solar lights to ensure safe access to communal facilities in the camps, which will also support in mitigating protection risks that women, girls and boys may be exposed to.
A thorough initial needs assessment Annex  A, has been conducted in order to select the locations and activities proposed below. 
Under this project, GOAL will target IDP camps within Maaret Tamsrin sub-district that are flood-prone, located on flood streams, or receive heavy rainfall and do not have the requisite infrastructure to cope. This project will focus on the construction and rehabilitation of main roads, secondary roads leading to communal facilities to ensure access of IDPs including elderly and persons living with a disability (PLWD), rehabilitation and construction of rainwater drainage systems and communal facilities will be provided with exterior solar lights. These activities will be implemented in 7 camps reaching a total of 7,658 individuals. Details of the proposed intervention are included in Annex C. Infrastructure Works BoQ, Annex D. Selected Camps Specifications and Proposed Interventions, and Annex E. details of the activities in the camps.
An overall 7,596 meter of roads will be constructed and rehabilitated in the camps, Annex E provides the details of the road length, and average width in each camp. and an estimated total of 554 meters of rainwater drainage lines. The works will be carried out through contractors selected through GOAL competitive bidding process.


All proposed activities will be coordinated with the cluster.
Facilitating access to clean and safe drinking water to conflict-affected communities in Idleb 2022 – Envelope 1 GOAL proposes to provide lifesaving safe water to 113,870 vulnerable individuals in Idleb Governorate, Northwest Syria (NWS). This will be implemented via the provision of essential support to 10 Water Stations (WS) and 3 Water Units (WU). 
The project will build on 7 years of GOAL’s expertise in Idleb water supply and support local water networks to meet the needs of the most vulnerable including women, children, PWD and IDPs. The aim of the action is to ensure access to reliable, safe, and clean drinking water to vulnerable conflict-affected communities including host and displaced populations in the northern sub-districts of Idleb Governorate. Core activities will include provision of electricity, procurement of fuel, infrastructure rehabilitation, training to water station operators, coaching to WUs and water quality monitoring. 
The project will enable approximately 113,870 people living in the targeted areas to access sufficient quantities of clean and safe drinking water. Sufficient and safe water will increase HHs resilience against COVID-19 and give them the ability to increase practice of COVID-19 mitigation measures. Due to equipment limitations and breakdowns and with project scope limitations, 35 litres/person/day (LPD) will be piped directly to households (HH) to ensure equitable access for all community members, however where network capacity and project funds allow, GOAL will seek to surpass 35 LPD. Without the support of this project, the provision of clean safe water to the homes of these 113,870 people will cease for the foreseeable future, which will leave most of this already vulnerable population with few options but to resort to negative coping strategies to meet basic water needs. This potential scenario is particularly concerning in the context of COVID-19, where water plays a vital role for handwashing the reduction of transmission. 
The project will build on GOAL’s current sustainability research and experience and will aim to reduce operating costs by provision of electricity to all water stations (WSs) as well as installing solar panels for 1 station. The findings from GOAL’s research into water supply will be used to strengthen the systems which underpin cost recovery. 
COVID-19 adapted hygiene promotion will target schools and individuals supported by other GOAL sectors via other grants. Curriculums will be context specific and developed using GOAL’s expertise in the Syrian WASH context. 
GOAL have mainstreamed extensive COVID-19 mitigation measures throughout all our operations, and within this proposed project, so as to ensure we can deliver this vital project while protecting our staff and the communities we serve

Providing emergency life-saving WASH assistance to the most vulnerable populations in North West Syria Aligned with the Syria HRP 2021 objectives and according to the Humanitarian Needs Assessment Programme (HNAP), the proposed project aims to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people affected by the escalation of violence in southern Idleb and western countryside of Aleppo, Most IDPs (in camps, informal settlements and among host community members in villages) continue to face critical WaSH needs, including a lack of water tanks and sustainable solid waste solutions (garbage bins, sewage networks). This is particularly problematic in light of the COVID pandemic. Findings from the CCCM Cluster confirm that, despite the humanitarian presence, WaSH needs are still not fully covered in Azaz. In fact, according to Humanitarian Needs Assessment Programme (HNAP) report of Dec 2020, 40 % of IDPs in NWS report that water is their first priority. In terms of infrastructure, at least 70% of sewage is discharged untreated, while at least half of the sewerage systems are not functional and 26% of garbage is inappropriately disposed within communities (HNO 2020), with 64% of water stations not functional, according to the Syrian Water Resources Platform.

SI addresses identified needs with a comprehensive WASH approach:

Provision of comprehensive WaSH package for IDPs in Mare, Aza, Suran and Akhtarin camps and Informal Settlements
	Daily supply of safe, sufficient and treated water in the form of water points for an average of 35 Litter per person per day through water trucking and pumping (running cost). Water distribution and quality monitoring will be implemented in the full respect of the WASH cluster technical recommendations
	Procurement, distribution and installation of water storage containers for water domestic use and hygiene behaviors
	Solid waste collection and management through provision of adequate solid containers
	Life-saving hygiene promotion awareness will be ensured within and beyond recently displaced people to prevent water and vector borne diseases. 
	Distribution of 3000 comprehensive Hygiene-COVID kits in alliance with COVID response for 3,000 HHs (15,442 individuals)
	Water network rehabilitation in Suran village. 

Targeting will be based on needs analysis, inter-agency coordination, and SI ability to maintain humanitarian safe and principled access. Beneficiary selection criteria for individual activities will vary, but always be based on needs and vulnerabilities. Gender equality will be prioritized and beneficiary engagement throughout the project cycle will ensure transparency and awareness of project activities. 

This project is in accordance with the first Strategic Objective of the interagency Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP): Provide life-saving humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerable people with an emphasis on those in areas with high severity of needs. SI will target locations ranked by SCHF as having high and medium needs, in which it will address Allocation Strategic Objective 2 (ASO2).

The project is linked to HRP project: HSYR21-WSH-178724-1
