To maximize the impact of the project and reduce water-borne and related diseases, WaSH intervention will be implemented as a complementary component in the project target area by extension and rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure (water network, sewage network) in addition to connecting two camps to a nearby water station and installing solar power system to operate the pumping station through rehabilitation of" Shweiha  Station".  Water quality will be ensured and water will be chlorinated with FRC between 0.2 - 0.5. in addition, the WASH component will support the solid waste management system in Qabasin and its surrounding villages by providing diesel, supporting local cleaners, and waste containers, and conducting a hygiene promotion campaign focusing on COVID-19 and personal hygiene. It aims to ensure that IDPs and host communities in the targeted locations can maintain or improve their hygiene behaviors. In total, 32,497 individuals (7,799 men, 8,126 women, 8,611 boys, 7,961 girls) will benefit from the  WASH activities of this project. People with disability will be taken into consideration to ensure that they benefit from the activities, where possible garbage containers will be near them, while the pumping of water will reach all people in  the target area including PWD.
Strengthen the referral system and referral data management unit in Northern Syria This project seeks to strengthen the referral system and the referral data management unit (RDMU) especially in light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and it is a part of the response to the increased needs of conflict-affected people in NWS including the hosts and IDPs who suffer from bad situation related to health and economy and, to support the overall dire humanitarian situation in the region, which contributes to saving lives and reducing the proportion of morbidities.
The prioritized need in this regard is to sustain the functionality of the referral system through the provision of the fuel for 60 ambulances within the central referral system in northern Syria as well as enhancing the referral data management unit (RDMU) as a main unit in the Health Information System (HIS) to ensure the sustainability and quality of health services, as follows:
-	Securing the fuel for 60 ambulances for emergency cases and to operate 4 cold cases vehicles to transfer patients who need non-emergency medical consultations or referred between the HFs across different levels of healthcare for further medical investigations or treatment. Under the referral component, capacity building for the referral focal points of 75 HFs will be done to include them in the central referral system's direct coordination and supervision mechanism. Where the central referral network will coordinate referrals through 60 ambulances and 4 cars to transport cold cases between 75 health facilities distributed in Idlib, Hama, and Aleppo governorates at a rate of 3,600 referrals per month.
-	Supporting and expanding the Referral Data Management Unit (RDMU) of the Central Health Information System specialized in collecting, processing, and analyzing referral system data. This will be in coordination with the WHO three networks: Harim, Afrin, and Northern Aleppo. The data of 24,000 referred cases from 65 different health facilities will be reported to the RDMU within HIS during the proposed period of the project.

The total number of beneficiaries from this project will be 67,758, as follows:
- # of referred patients by the ambulances and the cold-case vehicles: 43,200
- # of referral focal points trained on referral SoPs: 250
- # of RDMU staff: 8
- # of referred patients whose data have been reported to the RDMU through the 65 hospitals: 24,000
- # of NGOs staff attended RDMU workshops: 300

Integrated and inclusive life-saving response to critical protection needs for conflict affected populations in North West of Syria, with a focus on most vulnerable groups, such as persons with disabilities. The proposed action aims at providing inclusive and integrated emergency response to critical needs in protection for conflict affected populations in the North West of Syria (NWS), with a focus on the most vulnerable groups. The strategy of response is developed coherently with the strategic objectives of HRP 2021, particularly OS 2 and it takes into account key protection considerations following a gender, diversity, and age informed approach, while focusing on high vulnerability groups, and strengthening inclusion of Persons with Disabilities (PwD). The logic of intervention is aligned with the second strategic objective of the allocation strategy (ASO2), and it is structured on two main pillars: 
1- Enhance protective environment through addressing widespread explosive ordnance contamination. HI teams and implementing partners will provide direct Explosive Ordnance Risk Education (EORE) sessions at community level, including community impact survey. To build on sustainability, HI will also implement trainings of trainers aiming to build local capacities and extend the impact of the action on the long term. Victims will be referred to internal (Inclusion and/ or Prosthesis services) or external services.

2- Enhance inclusion of Persons with Disabilities in society and humanitarian assistance through mutually supportive programming to increase their participation. Through the implementation of a twin-track approach, the logic of intervention will combine a package of activities aimed at empowering PWD from one hand and building a more inclusive and accessible living environment at the community level, on another hand. Considering the technicality of the activities, HI will be implementing directly in the identified areas of intervention. 

HI will mainstream COVID-19 activities across the overall strategy of intervention. Key messaging and the provision of PPE and hygiene items will be integrated in the activities package.

Concerning partnerships, HI is working with local partners since 2012, and developed strong skills and capacities. The proposed partner is currently working with HI in targeted areas. HI will ensure capacity building and training to partners’ staff for technical teams, programs, MEAL and support departments. HI will refer to its partnership management guidance and policies

High-needs and unserved areas in North Aleppo are prioritized. The strategy of response is founded on HI long standing operational presence in targeted areas of intervention lessons learnt from previous similar interventions long term partnership with targeted local implementing organizations in-depth understanding and knowledge of needs and socio-cultural dynamics at the community level. The overall logic of intervention and modalities have been designed based on conflict sensitivity considerations.
Supporting provision of healthcare services through procurement and prepositioning of essential medicine and medical supplies to northwest Syria. The proposed project will strengthen access to lifesaving and life-sustaining essential health services within COVID-19 response through procurement of WHO pipeline of PPE supplies to support provision of integrated primary and secondary health care services to the vulnerable population of northwestern Syria. 
The goal of the project is to assist in procurement and preposition of the medical supplies into the warehouse inside NWS from the WHO pipeline (list of supplies is available as Annex 2) available through the Global Supply portal. According to identified needs WHO is planning to organize direct procurement of medical supplies from the Global Market focusing on specialized emergency health kits, including Inter-agency Emergency Health Basic Kits (IEHK), TESK and NCD kits from WHO Global Emergency Stock in Dubai to be distributed among health facilities in Idleb and Aleppo governates. Regarding COVID-19 response in northwestern Syria WHO will procure supplies both for the laboratories aiming to support surveillance system (laboratory Testing Kits, N95 respirators, and Gown) and health facilities providing specializes medical care to COVID-19 patients through intensive care units (ICU) for confirmed COVID-19 patients with severe symptoms and underlying chronic conditions. 

To ensure that these supplies will arrive shortly into NWS, WHO is planning to purchase part of the supplies in Turkey and deliver to Syria immediately since they are under critical demand. Other supplies will be purchased from the available WHO Dubai stock of life-saving supplies and will be based on the existing needs and availability of supplies in Dubai. 

Preposition of the procured medicine and medical supplies would be organized through two warehouses in Syria in Aleppo and Idleb governorates, which are operated by two contracted NGOs which will facilitate the distribution of these supplies to the organizations who are managing the health facilities to receive supplies. These are in-kind donations to the health facilities and WHO will not be having services except for logistics and warehouses. Otherwise, all active health cluster partners have been invited to the WHO supply line forum and may get donated supplies to ones who are prioritized based on the need during the months of distribution. The costs of warehousing and logistics will be covered through other WHO funds and will not be charged to this current project. 

As well it is worth mentioning that considering the risk of non-renewal of the UN Security Council Resolution it is planned to deliver all goods to NWS before July 10, 2021, and ensure health service continuity,
Integrated WASH and Protection support for the most vulnerable in NWS World Vision (WV), together with Syria Relief (SR) propose a multi-sector intervention, in response to the WASH and protection needs of IDPs in Idlib Governorate. The proposed intervention is directly linked to the SCHF allocation strategy paper’s objectives to upgrade IDP sites to ensure safe and dignified living conditions for the most vulnerable and to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance and protection to the most vulnerable.
In this project, World Vision Australia, World Vision New Zealand amp World Vision Switzerland are joint Partners with WV Syria and shall be jointly and severally responsible for the implementation of the Project.
Envelope 1: Provide life-saving assistance to affected population through provision of comprehensive WASH services In response to longer-term solutions to the provision of water supply, and other critical sanitation and hygiene services of the affected populations in North-West Syria to reinforce the most urgent life-saving interventions, Amal Organization aims to enhance the long-term WASH infrastructure. This intervention targets both host communities and IDPs in Sarmin sub-district which is considered a highly prioritized and underserved area that is facing multiple challenges in light of unseasonably low levels of rainfall as well as sanitation services. thus, the planned intervention will respond to the needs of 13546 individual (1610 IDPs, 11936 residents, including (2303 men, 3047 women, 3726 boys and 4470 girls) through the following activities:

-	Establishment of wastewater treatment plant (Anaerobic Baffled Reactor ABR) based on attached WBD report. This component will benefit the whole community through reducing water borne diseases which will be improving the public health situation as well as using the treated wastewater for irrigation purposes for the local farmers. In consequence, the whole community will benefit from this component.
-	Expansion and rehabilitation of sewerage networks in Sarmin, to ensure safe access to sanitation infrastructure for the whole community members both IDPs and host communities.
-	Supporting the regular solid waste management through providing salaries for 20 workers, operation, and maintenance (OampM) for current vehicles, distribution of 30 big garbage bins, and cleaning equipment. This component will benefit the whole community 13546 individual (1610 IDPs, 11936 residents, including (2303 men, 3047 women, 3726 boys and 4470 girls).

-	Rehabilitation and maintenance of existing latrines, showers as well as heating of bath spaces using solar system for tow collective centers which will be used for lightening too, in addition to providing 44 water tanks for the IDPs families residing in the collective centers. This will benefit 28 HHs in the first collective center and 16 HHs in the second center .

-	Control of the spread of COVID-19 through RCCE and provision of soap for hand washing for 7560 individuals among the most vulnerable and subjected to infection focusing on PWD, elderly , PLW, women-headed households  and those who have chronical diseases and children in the schools who mainly transmit infection to their families.

Consequently, the aforementioned components will help the affected population in Sarmin community to avoid adaption of negative coping strategies in terms of having access to safe water and other critical sanitation services,  and they will directly feed the WASH cluster objectives through support to water, sanitation/sewage, and solid waste management systems to ensure regular services for affected people.
Health life-saving support to Idleb Syria is entering its 10th year of devastating conflict with the situation in the northern provinces worsening with a disrupted health system and a third of its facilities not fully functional. In addition, the COVID19 pandemic has further amplified the dire needs in the health sector while acting as a risk for the continuation of essential healthcare. Additionally, in the camps, COVID19 had increased the protection risk with 97% of the individuals in extreme poverty (SPRING 2021 REPORT SERIES - governate profiles).

The overall objective of this project is to support the continuation and scaling up the life-saving activities by complementing other existing grants and partnership. This will improve the access to health services for the most vulnerable population in Idleb. The specific objectives are : 
 (1) Decrease the excess morbidity and mortality among trauma and orthopaedic cases in the district of Harim.
 
 The proposed objectives require the support of one main infrastructure on the following activities: 
 (1) supporting Alamal orthopaedic centre to continue providing lifesaving and life-sustaining healthcare. This includes the provision of orthopedic major surgeries, trauma management, diagnostic testing (laboratory and imagery), out-patient consultation, and referral from/to other health facilities in Harim district.
