Improved Access to Adequate Shelter for Vulnerable Syrian Refugees and Host Communities in Jordan Building on its significant experience and its two ongoing, successful programs currently being implemented in northern Jordan –including its OCHA-funded Shelter-specific program running until the 19th of July, ICMC proposes a 6-month project to continue to meet the immediate shelter needs of Syrian refugees and extremely vulnerable host community households in northern Jordan. Having been providing rental assistance to vulnerable households in Jordan since the onset of the refugee crisis in Jordan in 2012, ICMC has consistently applied learnt lessons to improve its programming. As a continuation of this, and following its Cash-for-Rent Assistance Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs, in annex), ICMC will identify extremely vulnerable families who are struggling to meet rental payments or are threatened with eviction. 436 vulnerable households will receive conditional cash-for-rent assistance through cheques provided to landlords in two installments, including a mid-term verification process, for up to the equivalent of 4 months of rent assistance. All beneficiaries will also be provided with information on their contractual obligations and legal rights as tenants. ICMC will conduct community outreach, taking advantage of its continuously updated outreach database –now including information on nearly 7,500 households outreached since September 2015-, and its close relationships with community-based organizations (CBOs). This in order to identify and assess the vulnerability and potential eligibility of refugee and host community households, based on its well-established vulnerability assessment system and project-specific criteria. ICMC will crosscheck all potential beneficiaries with partner agencies, while also refer urgent cases to appropriate service providers, in line with detailed standard operating procedures. Through this proposed project –and complementing its ongoing BPRM and OCHA-funded cash-for-rent interventions, ICMC will improve access to adequate shelter for extremely vulnerable Syrian refugees (70%) and Jordanians (30%) residing in Irbid, Mafraq, Zarqa, and Balqa governorates (45% in Irbid, 40% in Mafraq,10% in Zarqa, and 5% Balqa,) . Within the framework of the Regional Refugee amp Resilience Plan 2016-2018 (3RP), and specifically the Jordan Response Plan (JRP), this project seeks to complement ongoing efforts to meet the basic needs of Syrian refugees in Jordan by addressing the shelter needs of extremely vulnerable Syrian families. This project will also assist the host community through a community-based approach.
Improving WASH facilities and hygiene practices for refugees in Villages 2 and 5 in Azraq camp ACTED’s proposed five month programme seeks to conduct WASH improvements to accommodate for the recent arrivals in Azraq refugee camp. To ensure that new -residents have access to safe and equitable water, ACTED will install 988 sustainable multi-purpose wash basins (i.e. handwashing and laundry facilities) in Villages 2 and 5, and in the public and reception areas where new arrivals are initially hosted. ACTED will also conduct a hygiene promotion campaign in Villages 2 and 5, where the basins will be installed, The programme will improve hygiene conditions and promote safe water use, while reducing the spread of communicable disease  for 17,527 women, girls, boys and men living in  this area, taking into consideration their different needs and vulnerabilities.
Providing support to facilities in Rural Damascus to address critical gaps in medical care for chronic disease through the provision of medication and dialysis supplies. This Project is to bridge critical gaps in providing care for people with chronic disease through two components: 
1- Providing medication  to treat Chronic Disease in Rural Damascus. The current Syrian crisis has devastated the health care system and people with chronic diseases often do not have access to the medications needed to control their disease. Estimates of people who have died from non-war related injuries due  to lack of access to healthcare is between 70,000 – 200,000.  This project has been successfully implemented previously by SAMS  with funding through the Jordan Humanitarian FundChronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, kidney disease and renal failure require regular medication and/or treatment to prevent fatalities. Rural Damascus has been under siege for approximately two years causing a lack of access for delivery of medication and creating a shortage in essential mediations, which is contributing to the death toll in Syria.  SAMS supports four PHCs in Rural Damascus, East Gouta including: Sham clinic in Erbin, Jordan clinic in Ein Terma, Otaya clinic in Al Marj, and Shefaa clinic in Douma. patient data submitted on a monthly basis indicated the need for medications to control prevalent chronic diseases within the catchment population. Under previous grants distribution plans were created to supply the four PHCS with essential medications for chronic diseases.  This proposal seeks to extend the supply of essential medications to the same four facilities to control chronic diseases in the besieged area and prevent fatalities case data provided by the four facilities 


2- The second component is to provide support to the dialysis unit in Nawa Hospital in Dara’a  Dra’a including the dialysis unit, supplies and medications to run dialysis sessions to save lives. SAMS will procure the dialysis supplies and medications to provision the Nawa Dialysis Unit in Dara’a to ensure the sustainability of this treatment to patients with kidney disease and  in danger of renal failure, due to disease and trauma  to ensure that patients will have access to life saving dialysis care.
Addressing urgent winterization needs of newly displaced Syrian IDPs in Informal Tented Settlements and collective shelters in Quneitra Governorate The activities proposed will seek to meet the essential winter needs of Syrian IDPs living in informal tented settlements (ITS) in Quneitra Governorate through the provision of winterization kits. Winterization kits will be given to all households residing in the targeted ITS and collective shelters.
Protection of conflict affected IDPs, host communities and returnees through Risk Education (RE) and basic contamination assessment inside Syria This project will mitigate the significant risks posed to Syrian communities by delivering a targeted, comprehensive national Community Liaison (CL) capacity in highly affected areas across southern Syria.  MAG will work with an established Syrian partner organisation, Arab Mine Action Consultancy Company (AMACC) to train CL teams in Da’ra, southern Syria.  The teams will be recruited locally and transported to Jordan to receive face to face training by MAG in AMACC's centre in Amman, Jordan in coordination with National Committee for Demining and Rehabilitation (NCDR) An experienced international Community Liaison Managers (CLM) will provide specific, standardised training across the project and will liaise with the partner to develop culturally and contextually appropriate RE materials in the targeted region.

All CL teams will be trained, monitored and supervised to conduct the following activities
	Targeted RE sessions to vulnerable, at risk populations including IDP's, host communities and returnees
	Victim and accident data collected and analysed
	RE delivery for front line humanitarian workers and basic safety messages delivery
	Training of identified Community Focal Points (CFP's) and teachers in the delivery of RE for Explosive Remnants of War (ERW) related issues
	Basic contamination surveys including victim and accident data

MAG will train and monitor the deployment of three Community Liaison (CL) teams in  Dar'a District southern Syria, which has been identified and prioritised according to the greatest needs in terms of at risk populations.

The project will target the most vulnerable communities including IDP's, host communities and returnees ensuring that activities are targeted appropriately for women, girls, men and boys (WGMB). Each CL team will be gender balanced to ensure that the needs amp concerns of WGMB are properly considered. Training of both teachers and community focal points (CFPs) will ensure the sustainability of the project by transferring valuable key messages and skills to the local community on how to deliver RE messages in schools and surrounding community.  Furthermore, MAG will deliver RE sessions to frontline humanitarian workers to mitigate the risks faced whilst distributing aid relief and enable each participant to deliver front line basic safety messages to affected communities.
Accessing My Rights - Helping vulnerable Syrian and host community women and girls and female SGBV survivors access justice through legal awareness raising and assistance The objective of the proposed project is to improve the overall protection environment for at risk women, including girls above the age of thirteen, in both the Syrian refugee and host community population who have or are in danger of experiencing SGBV in order for them to enjoy an environment free of sexual and gender based violence. This will be achieved through enhancing mechanisms for social and legal protection. To achieve this goal, the project implements a series of activities that promote positive change, both on the individual and community level. Legal, psycho-social sessions, and economic referral opportunities will empower targeted women and teenage girls to claim their rights, while a well targeted advocacy campaign, dialogue sessions with leaders of targeted communities, and the creation of community support networks will cultivate a community environment that is supportive of women and girls accessing the justice system in Jordan.
Winterization NFI Assistance for Vulnerable Affected Populations in Southern Syria This activity concerns the provision of household winter NFI assistance to vulnerable households as part of an integrated package of assistance. Assistance is designed to improve living conditions, physical protection and dignity of the beneficiaries. In accordance with the inter-agency sector strategy, this activity will be delivered through in-kind distributions. Where appropriate, this activity will be integrated with other components of this action (e.g. distribution of emergency shelter in the form of tents).

NRC has taken a proactive role in the agreement of the inter-agency Shelter amp NFI sector agreed minimum specifications and this activity will therefore be compliant with the relevant standards.

This project will help cover the current gap in confirmed funding for the 2016 winter NFI related winterization response.
Secondary referral care for priority cases of war-wounded including supporting priority medical referrals from the eastern and western borders. The proposed project aims to support secondary and tertiary referral care for priority cases of war-wounded including supporting priority medical referrals from the eastern and western borders, which will be achieved through providing acute surgical stabilization and follow up war injured at JPS Medical and Emergency Centre in Amman located in Sowileh  (North of Amman), and free referral for secondary amp tertiary care at network of partner hospitals in Amman 

JPS Medical and Emergency Centre (JPS MEC) is already established. in this centre the team will provide capacity for convalescent care for war wounded expanded through free referral for Acute Surgical Stabilization to JPS network hospitals, the Case Manager will work jointly with the health adviser (Nurse) to provide Case Management and Protection services for the patients, along with provision of postoperative and inpatient rehabilitation. 
Another component of Follow up for war wounded patients will be covered in this proposed project, through providing post-operative care (Follow up, Physiotherapy and Psychosocial support – rehabilitation sessions- ) to the war wounded houses and families in Jordan communities. JPS MEC team will conduct regular follow-up visits by the team of  (GP, Physiotherapist and Psychologist – upon the case need-) to ensure that families and wounded houses receive guidance on the implications of caring for individuals with enduring needs, along with the case manager  to assess the family in developing longer –term care plans. 

The project during the six months will cover 50 war wounded cases that need acute surgical stabilization of multiple injury, neuro, chest and vascular, Maxillo-facial and eye injury cases through coordination with MSF. 
JPS MEC team will cover 200 follow-up visits of war wounded houses and families, 180 Physiotherapy sessions, and 180 psychosocial support sessions.
Lifesaving regular cash assistance to highly vulnerable Syrian refugees and host communities in Irbid Governorate This intervention will support 2,640 (528 households based on an average size of five) vulnerable Syrian refugees (1,848) and Jordanians (792) – a 70/30 split in line with Government of Jordan guidance - living in Irbid Governorate to cope with their basic needs. The distribution of unconditional regular cash assistance will be done through the Eyecloud system for Syrians and ATM cards for Jordanians and will be between 80-150 JOD (average 120 JOD) depending on criteria as set out in the Basic Needs Working Group and in consultation with UNHCR. As there are 4,152 Syrian refugees (830 households) in Irbid Governorate currently on UNHCR waiting list for cash assistance (UNHCR, February 2016), this intervention would cover more than a third (42%) of the identified gaps in basic need assistance for Syrian refugees in Irbid Governorate. 

Beneficiaries will be selected according to their needs and vulnerability selected beneficiaries will receive regular unconditional cash assistance for a period of three months, and in line with the standards set by the Basic Needs Working Group. Regular monitoring (including baseline and PDMs) will be organized to assess the impact of the intervention on the beneficiaries’ capacity to cover their basic needs and the level of resorting to harmful coping strategies.

Furthermore, in an effort to cover the gaps in Syrian refugee households assessed with the Vulnerability Assessment Framework, as well as expanding on and sharing the understanding of these groups, a dedicated team will conduct  VAF questionnaires for 800 cases/households (4,000 refugees) through home visits, upload these on RAIS and share cases as needed with other actors through referrals. This intervention will therefore enable the wider humanitarian community to improve its access to potential beneficiaries for future programing. 

The proposed action will build on the experience and successful previous winterization and cash assistance projects implemented by ACF in Irbid since 2014, and is in line with ACF’s support to push in increasing the utilization and analytical potential of the VAF, which will be pursued in parallel through ACF’s VAF Advisory Group participation.
Enhancing food security in Dar’a through the rehabilitation of public bakeries ACTED’s proposed six-month program seeks to enhance food security of conflict-affected women, girls, boys and men by improving the capacity of communities to meet their own basic food needs.  To achieve this, the action will take a community-driven, gender sensitive approach, focused on one main outcome: 232,500 conflict-affected women, girls, boys and men have increased access to quality bread. The activity geared towards achieving this outcome is the rehabilitation of seven bakeries in Ankhil, Dar’a Al Balad, Eastern Ghariyeh, Hrak, Jasim, Kahil, Nawa in the Dar’a Governorate. This will be complemented by workplace hygiene promotion activities and the provision of hygienic items to targeted bakeries, which is focused on achieving outcome 1.2: hygiene practices of bakery staff related to food preparation are improved.
Provision of unconditional cash assistance to extremely vulnerable households in Jordan to help them meet basic needs and prevent negative coping strategies. PU-AMI will field two outreach teams and use our complementary social protection programming in two CBOs in Amman and Zarqa to identify and assist extremely vulnerable households in urban settings with unconditional cash assistance, provision of information on services and general protection issues, and follow-up for overcoming barriers to social services. The project will leverage cost efficiencies and lessons learned from existing programming to: i) continue ongoing regular cash assistance to 350 households with no adult breadwinner or with protection risks being assisted under the existing HPF project and, ii) provide an additional 446 vulnerable households facing financial shocks with emergency cash assistance. 
PU-AMI contributes actively to the Basic Needs Working Group and technical task groups to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of assistance. PU-AMI consistently demonstrates expertise in cash assistance in urban settings and protection mainstreaming. This project will continue the rigorous application of robust tools such as the Vulnerability Assessment Framework (VAF) and PU-AMI accountability mechanisms (including 100% verification of assistance within days). Furthermore, PU-AMI’s transfer modalities (exchange company and hard cash) provides the flexibility to provide rapid assistance at extremely low cost while maintaining the ability to assist those with mobility constraints or other mitigating circumstances.
Reducing vulnerability of Syrian refugees and vulnerable host community households in Jordan through emergency winter cash assistance This project will provide cash assistance to 580 severely vulnerable Syrian refugee households and 250 Jordanian households to enable them to better prepare for the winter conditions. The unconditional cash assistance will help households to meet their basic needs and protect them from the added pressures of the harsh winter months. It will increase beneficiary capacity to afford critical items such as fuel, heaters, clothes, and blankets.

Medair will directly implement the project and target the regions of Mafraq, Zarqa and East Amman, all of which have been identified as priority governorates. Both Syrian and Jordanian households will be reached (70/30 split) with a onetime payment, in a timely manner, and as per the 2016-2017 standards of the Winterization Taskforce.
Reducing vulnerability of Syrian refugees and vulnerable host communities in Jordan through cash assistance This project will provide unconditional cash assistance to severely vulnerable Syrian refugee and Jordanian households in order for them to meet their most urgent basic needs. This financial support is vital in relieving the pressure of rental payments and food expenses and further enables households to access health and education services.  

Medair will directly implement the project and target the regions of East Amman, Mafraq and Zarqa, all of which have been identified as priority governorates. Both Syrian and Jordanian households will be reached (70/30 split).  

During this project period Medair will provide 415 households with 4 months of unconditional cash assistance. In total, beneficiaries will receive 6 months of cash assistance as per the recommended standards of the Basic Needs Working Group, with 2 month of cash support funded by other donors.
Provide regular cash assistance to vulnerable populations in Mafraq Governorate The proposed intervention responds to the needs of the most vulnerable Syrian refugees and Jordanians in Mafraq, through the provision of unconditional cash assistance for 4 consecutive months. The intervention aims at reducing vulnerable households’ risk of exposure to negative coping mechanisms.
SCHOOL SHELTER  WINTERIZATION IN SOUTHERN SYRIA We are aiming through the project to fill the gaps in the winterization response in the southern Syria, through the winterization of select schools across the south. During the difficult conditions in winter, 
Auranitis will provide each school with a “sealing-off” kit, targeting the school premises, and provide select support to the students.

More specifically, through the project, we will work on  preserving the heat inside schools through “sealing-off”:  covering the windows with plastic sheeting and wood. 
Auranitis  will also  spread awareness on preserving heat in winter through sessions to students and teachers .  Our team will also  distribute a jacket and a training suit made of thick fabric to each student of target schools, based on students’ assessed needs and preferences..
Increasing the capacity of Syrian refugees in Azraq camp to meet their basic needs and access protection services In line with the JHF sector priorities and objectives as outlined in the JRP, DRC will provide 18,000 vulnerable Syrian refugees (50% of the population) in Azraq camp with enhanced capacity to meet their basic needs through the distribution of unconditional cash assistance. A further % of vulnerable individuals will receive top up cash support once vulnerability criteria and identification has been carried out by the protection team. Additionally, DRC will provide 600 of the most vulnerable Syrian refugee men, women, boys, and girls living in Azraq camp with increased access to protection services through risk assessment, information provision and strengthened referrals coordination.
Provision of comprehensive rehabilitation and tailored support to access services for most vulnerable people with functional limitations (including war wounded) affected by the Syrian Crisis in Jordan Built from the experience gained during four years of humanitarian response to the Syrian crisis affected most vulnerable people in Jordan, Handicap International (HI)’s proposal of intervention is to provide comprehensive rehabilitation services to people with functional limitations (especially persons with injuries and/or disabilities) and bring tailored support to increase their access to services in order to reduce their vulnerability. 

The action will improve the health and protection situation of 7,583 Syrian-crisis affected persons with disabilities and/or injuries and their families through the provision of comprehensive rehabilitation and/or referrals to external existing services. Comprehensive rehabilitation beneficiaries may have been identified from HI previous implementation phase and will continue to receive the services during the implementation period of the project according to the individual action plans defined at the time of HI technical needs assessment.

According to the individualized action plan, comprehensive rehabilitation services provision will include physiotherapy (PT) and/or occupational therapy (OT) sessions, donation of assistive devices, provision of Prosthesis and Orthotics (PampO), complementary psychosocial support and support to caregivers. 
External referrals will be provided to other humanitarian stakeholders, either national or international, according to the identified needs with a specific focus on Health, Protection and services related to the coverage of Basic Needs.
 
This intervention relies on the extended HI outreach network comprising of fixed and travelling points established in camps, hospitals, clinics and community centers as well as HI mobile teams coverage. 

For tension mitigation and do-no-harm purposes, 30% of the targeted persons of concern will belong to the host communities, in line with the Jordanian Ministry of Planning and International Cooperation (MoPIC) policy.
