Post-earthquake debris management and recycling project to facilitate local level recovery and rehabilitation in quake affected NW Syria. ltp class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtDue to
the two magnitude 7.8 and 7.7 earthquakes that occurred on 6 February
2023 in southeastern Türkiye, more than 4,500 deaths and 10,400 injuries have been reported in north-west Syria according to the Health
Cluster, with at least 10,600 partially and completely destroyed buildings. As per the ERL cluster, there is a need to remove a minimum of 650,000 m3 of building debris which affected some 800,000 people in northwest
Syria, while 464,000 m3 of debris have been removed and should be
recycled to ensure local recovery and avoid using the land for debris disposal in detriment of other uses. In view of these facts, the project aims to
achieve the following objectives: ltbrgtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgt

ltulgtltligtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtRemove 80,000 m3 of debris in areas in need of this service by establishing an “emergency debris alert
system” for removal activities in close coordination with the ERL cluster and communities to cover all locations in Idleb and Aleppo governorates.lt/spangtlt/ligtltligtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtRecycle
250,000 m3 of debris into (re)construction materials for the rehabilitation of roads and other community infrastructure (ensuring the recycled debris meets requisite
technical specifications), thereby reducing costs and the need to extract more
quarry materials. lt/spangtlt/ligtltligtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtUse

ltp style="margin-bottom:9.95pt" class="MsoNormal"gtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtThis intervention
will support the communities residing in both Idleb and Aleppo governorates, by responding to alerts
for debris removal from different locations, while ensuring best environmental
practices in their communities through recycled debris and the use of recycled
debris in repairing roads and community infrastructure.lt/spangtlt/pgt

ltpgtltspan style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif color: black"gtUNDP is supporting the emergency humanitarian response through its
mandate on early recovery in crisis and post-crisis settings. UNDP work will
build on the existing debris removal project that is being
implemented under SCHF funds to respond to the earthquake in the target locations. UNDP will work in partnership with BINAA, a
national NGO which has experience in both ERL activities and in the field in
general. UNDP will be responsible for the overall management of the project and its
oversight against programmatic and fiduciary risks through efficient
contractual arrangements and administrative support. This will ensure timely
implementation of the project, and high quality of activities and the program deliverables.
Moreover, UNDP’s early recovery and livelihoods team as well as debris management specialist will provide technical
guidance and expertise to ensure the quality and appropriateness of debris and
rubble recycling. Blt/spangtltspan style="color: black font-family: Arial, sans-serif"gtased on extensive experience in post-disaster debris management, UNDP has existing SoP to conduct the recycling process of the debris that has already been collected and reported by the ERL partners. Without recycling the huge amounts of debris, the large quantities may cause serious hazards such as contamination of land and water resources from contaminated wastes within the debris, decomposing waste within the debris attracting vermin and pests, physical dangers from children playing and scavenging amongst the debris, generation of dust from debris, and large areas of potential agricultural land being used for debris disposal. The recycling of debris also lays the foundation for improved environmental management as part of the recovery process and later for increased opportunities in improved waste management.lt/spangtlt/pgt
