Strengthening Protection and Empowerment of Women and Girls in Tripoli
With funding through the Community Based Pooled Fund (CBPF), IRC will be able to fill a critical 60% gap in funding for ongoing community-based interventions in the Tripoli + 5 (T5) region to continue providing life-saving support to women and girls who have survived or are at risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV). Building on the establishment of a comprehensive Women’s Protection and Empowerment (WPE) program in the T5 region, the IRC’s proposed intervention will continue to respond to the needs of women and girls affected by or at risk of SGBV through psychosocial support, case management, community mobilization and risk mitigation activities. The modalities will include the operation of one Women’s and Girls’ Community Centre (WGCC) in Batroun, the ongoing deployment of three mobile teams to remote areas of the T5 area, the creation and deployment of one new mobile team to further expand to meet the needs of women and girls, and the capacitating of women, men, girls and boys to protect women and girls in their communities from SGBV. The IRC will also strengthen the protective environment through capacity building with local organizations and associations and will train SGBV and non-SGBV actors on skills and knowledge critical to the provision of quality services for women and girls including safe referrals.
The IRC will aim at achieving the following results:
1. Women and adolescent girls affected by or at risk of SGBV have access to critical response and prevention services through safe spaces and mobile approaches
2. A protective environment for women and girls within their communities is created through community mobilization and capacity building
3. Capacity of local actors and community members to provide quality comprehensive SGBV response and prevention services through safe spaces and mobile approaches is strengthened

Survivor-centered protection program: Enhancing protection through service provision, empowerment, and community sensitization
Even though Lebanon is considered somewhat liberal, individuals with alternative Sexual Orientation amp Gender Identity (SOGI)s continue to face legal and social barriers that hinder their access to holistic protection services. Admittedly, the spillover of the protracted crisis in Syria into Lebanon has resulted in a number of consequences, one of which is the increasing tensions between displaced refugees and hosting communities. The situation in Syria reignited social tensions between Lebanese and Syrians, which has led to further stigmatization and alienation of the Syrian population. Seeing as survivors of sexual Gender-Based Violence are a marginalized minority, those of Syrian nationality have become one of the most vulnerable communities in Lebanon. Moreover, their needs are barely being met due to the presence of only a few organizations that possess the expertise in addressing individuals with alternative SOGI needs, funding shortage, and the political crisis of the country.
As for social barriers, they are often exacerbated by homophobia and violent acts towards persons with alternative sexualities. These discriminatory practices result from the socialization of Lebanese individuals of all genders, and due to the lack of legal protection mechanisms, generally, and the absence of laws that protect gender and sexually nonconforming individuals from violations, specifically. Discrimination resulting from homophobia is not limited to social discrimination in everyday practice, but affects all avenues of life and services, including health and medical services, access to legal services and justice, mobility, and many others. For instance, according to one study among medical doctors, it was discovered that only 50% of physicians were willing to provide medical services for homosexuals and often perceive alternative sexual behaviors as a “disease”. Moreover, a significant number of Lebanese and International NGOs providing services in Lebanon lack the specialized and appropriate tools, skills, and sensitivity to address SGBV survivors and provide them with services without harm, stigma, or discrimination.
Due to the aforementioned causes, there are two main gaps in terms of service provision for survivors of violence living in Lebanon. The first is the lack of holistic, adequate, specialized and sensitive services to these marginalized communities while the other is the difficulty in reaching these individuals while ensuring their safety. As such, this project will address these challenges with the ultimate aim to enhance the overall well being of SGBV survivors in Lebanon, through enhancing their access to sensitive services and the reduction of stigma, and through community-based interventions. We will offer life skills lessons and trainings to enhance their tools and access to protection and self-care, peer-to-peer trainings to improve outreach, and activities to increase their well being and livelihood.
The project will attain its objective through enhancing the provision of holistic protection services for persons with alternative SOGI in Beirut and Mount Lebanon. Additionally, MOSAIC aims at ensuring an efficient and sustainable protection mechanism by expanding its referral system in order to include all services providers/services that survivors of violence can benefit from.

Basic Assistance for vulnerable Lebanese
Now more than 4 years after the start of the conflict in Syria, Lebanon continues to host significant numbers of Syrians, fleeing this generation’s largest humanitarian crisis. As violence carries on without end, refugees continue to stream into neighbouring countries (and now even further afield into Europe) in hopes of attaining some relief and stability for their families. In Lebanon, UNHCR has registered 1,078,338 refugees , nearly 25% of the region’s total Syrian refugee population now lives in this small nation of 4.4 million residents. The impact of the crisis is being felt across the country with Lebanon’s social and economic infrastructure overwhelmed and their hospitality overstretched. Syrian refugees, like the Lebanese in local communities most affected by the influx, are becoming increasingly vulnerable, despite the large-scale inter-agency response to date.
The increase in poverty rate is heavily effecting Lebanon’s fluid socioeconomic dynamics. According to the LCRP 2016, 28% of Lebanese were living under the poverty before 2011 and 8 % were under the extreme poverty line. After 2011 and prior to the Syrian influx, the poverty rate increased from 28 %to 36%. This increase in economic inequality will eventually effect the social relationship between different actors and threaten the country’s stability.
In this context, Caritas Lebanon aims at assisting poor Lebanese families identified through the National Poverty Targetting Program, used by the government of Lebanon, in the delivery of social assistance and social services with the objective of improving living standards of the population, in particular of the poor and vulnerable Lebanese. This project activities will be in lign with national plans, such as the National Social Development Strategy.

Providing essential primary health care services to Syrian refugees and other vulnerable populations throughout Lebanon
IMC aims to address some of the most urgent health needs of Syrian refugees and host communities living in underserved areas of Lebanon. Specifically, this project will target beneficiaries through support to nine primary health care centers (PHCCs) located in vulnerable areas in the North, South, and Beirut/Mount Lebanon regions, where the health center has identified service gaps. A total of 36,000 individual beneficiaries are expected to receive primary health care (PHC) services over 12 months. In addition to routine PHC services, including preventive care, management of chronic diseases, and immunizations, IMC will also focus on reproductive health services for women and girls, including antenatal and postnatal care and family planning.
It is essential that project activities focus on meeting immediate humanitarian needs while also building local systems capacity. IMC will continue to employ its successful model of enhancing the capacity of existing PHCCs to provide quality, subsidized medical care and medications to vulnerable populations. IMC’s support for PHCCs allows for OCHA to support the Lebanese health care system in dealing with the impact of the Syria crisis, while avoiding an over-reliance on donor funding. IMC contracts existing PHCCs, most of which are within the MoPH network, supported by local NGOs. IMC's continued cost sharing co-payment system aims to reduce refugee dependence on INGOs while encouraging the utilization of existing local health facilities.
The expected outcomes of this program include:
Expanded access to subsidized PHC services for Syrian refugees and host communities via the provision of a package of basic health care services
Improved quality of PHC service provision, via trainings, continuous monitoring, and evidence and performance-based programming
Access to free medications, as per WHO and MOPH essential drug lists, and subsidized referrals to specialized services and diagnostics
Capacity building activities for clinic staff aimed at improving quality of care.

Special Needs and Community Driven Development
The global concept of disability was legally transformed in 2006, whereby more than 80 countries signed the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD). This convention was a step towards transitioning from the purely medical care approach to the equity, human rights and inclusion approach.
Even though Lebanon hasn’t yet ratified this convention, after more than 10 years of its declaration, the Lebanese Parliament has passed in 2000 the law number 220/2000 for the rights of persons with disabilities. Further to this law, the Lebanese Government adopted a youth oriented policy by launching the National Youth Policy in 2012 urging all stakeholders to take actions in reforming laws and policies to make the Lebanese society more inclusive towards young men and women at all aspects, overcoming many different forms of social, economic and political exclusions, including disabilities.
To this effect Law 220/2000 was considered as the first legislation of its kind that addressed the key issue of persons with disabilities in Lebanon, aiming at enabling the disabled to fully integrate and participate effectively in society. The law abolished existing laws restricting the rights of the disabled and substituted them with a supportive law empowering inclusion into the society.
While this law has 102 articles, SHEILD’s intervention focuses on section 7 (Part VII. The Right to Education and Sports from article 59 to article 67) addressing the right of persons with disability to learn, education and sports. Inclusion is one of our core principles, as we recognize the importance of the integration of children and youth marginalized for reasons of gender, religion, ability, ethnicity, disability and social background. We work on insuring the equal participation of all individuals regardless of their differences, and we do adopt a can-do attitude when it comes to gender equity perspective while implementing all of our projects and activities.
In order to achieve inclusion, a tri-track methodology is to be considered:
Focusing on the Society to remove barriers
Focusing on the excluded vulnerable groups to build their capacities
Advocacy, Collaboration and Networking to achieve change and sustainability
SHEILD’s adopts an equity-based approach, in both the development and the humanitarian action. This approached emphasises on developing the skills of the most vulnerable excluded children and youth, on one hand, by building their resilience and increasing their access to essential services in the areas of protection, education and health and, on another hand, by strengthening family, community, civil society and Government, protection systems.
In the defined 12 months’ period, the proposed project aims to address the excluded children and youth with special needs, along with their families. Children with disabilities, no matter the kind or type, have the same social needs, interests and rights as any other child around the world. They are denied in many places and sectors the right of participation or being an active member in their societies. The project is designed to provide psycho-social support for vulnerable children populated in some of the most disadvantaged areas in Lebanon, South Lebanon, through empowering children and youth, both Syrian and Lebanese, with resiliency and tolerance to help them cope with their disability plus displacement situation, develop leadership skills, and promote healthy lifestyle and integration with host communities.

Protection of Vulnerable Women, Adolescent Girls, Elderly and Disabled from SGBV, Violence and Abuse in South, Mount Lebanon and Bekaa
This project is planned as a threefold intervention comprised of the following components: Complementing existing services (case management, legal services, PSS) for survivors of SGBV filling expected funding gaps (legal services in Mount Lebanon and the South) under the needs for case management already managed and /or identified and expanding the scope of services so as to include elderly and disabled population (in Mount Lebanon, Bekaa, and the South).
The three components are in line with the following LCRP priorities: “Access to protection and services is ensured, the most vulnerable women, girls, boys and men are identified, and durable solutions realized the risks and consequences of SGBV are reduced and access to quality services is improved persons displaced from Syria have their basic rights respected and enjoy access to justice and legal stay and the risks and consequences of SGBV are reduced and access to quality services is improved”.
The project is designed to contribute towards enhancing the protection of vulnerable individuals (in particular girls, women, elderly and disabled people survivors of victims of Sexual-Gender Based Violence - SGBV) among people displaced from Syria and vulnerable Lebanese in the Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and the South regions. Specifically, three main outputs will respond to unmet needs and critical gaps identified in the field namely to i) Guarantee access to justice to persons of concern in Mount Lebanon and in the South regions ii) reduce the risk and consequence of SGBV and improve the access to quality services in the Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and the South regions and iii) reduce the risk facing older persons and disabled and improve access to quality services in the Bekaa, Mount Lebanon and the South regions. The intervention will be implemented in complementarity with other programs funded by different donors, namely UNHCR and UNICEF in the three regions mentioned above and in continuity with the UNFPA funded project in ML, as well as with activities run by other organizations, according to specialties and geographic coverage, and will be based on participatory approach and coordination with national and international humanitarian actors.

Primary Health Care Support for Crisis Affected Communities in Lebanon
Through this project IOM will support three PHCs, 1 each in Bekaa, Nabatieh, and the North. All these centers are located in highly vulnerable areas hosting high numbers of Syrian refugees. The support to these centers will improve the access to health services for vulnerable populations and close gaps in health service coverage. The project will follow the UNHCR service package for primary health care that includes subsidized consultation fees, subsidized diagnostic tests for vulnerable groups and provision of free acute and chronic medicines. Health awareness, community outreach and health education sessions in PHCs will be conducted by IOM staff to inform beneficiaries of the services available and educate them on topics of major public health importance. This project will also be integrated with other IOM health initiatives, including tuberculosis (TB) screening and referrals, as well as research activities such as the joint IOM - Johns Hopkins University - MIT research project on non-communicable diseases in crisis settings.

Protection of Vulnerable Women and Children from Violence and Abuse in South and Nabatieh, Lebanon.
This project aims at scaling-up existing programs in South and Nabatieh - funded by UNHCR and UNICEF and the current ongoing project that is similarly funded by UN-OCHA - and to address the unmet needs for gender-based violence (GBV) prevention and response. Through the implementation of GBV case management services, it has been noted that specialized services - such as psychological support and legal assistance - are not always available for GBV survivors. Due to the complex and high caseload - coupled with limited resources of specialized service providers - survivors face slow, limited or no follow-up for specialized services, even after being referred from case management agencies, such as INTERSOS: this prevents suitable support to survivors and risks deterring them from accessing crucial services. INTERSOS aims at addressing gaps by hiring specialized staff including a lawyer and a legal assistant to provide general counseling services and essential court representation for both GBV, child protection (CP) cases and urgent cases. INTERSOS already implements psycho-social support (PSS) activities - including life skill sessions for girls and their caregivers. This activity will be implemented through skilled staff and local partners in the well-established INTERSOS’ Women Safe Spaces and Community Centers in partnership with a local NGO '' Sanabel Al Janoub''

Integrated Solid Waste Management programme in South Lebanon
The Syrian Crisis has crossed into its 5th year since the conflict broke out in Syria. The pressures of the Syrian crisis over the resources and structures, and the burdened caused by 30% increase in overall population living in Lebanon, has had a particular strong impact at environmental level that remains unaddressed.
The project presented aims at developing a comprehensive Integrated Sustainable Waste Management (ISWM) system in the District of Saida, specifically in the 18 municipalities of the Zahrani Union, aiming at improving the environment and reducing the exposure to public health risks, protecting and preserving natural resources, particularly land and water resources from land-based pollution. To achieve this, the action proposes the development of a coherent and coordinated strategy towards the achievement of a comprehensive sustainable integrated waste management system, consisting of assessing and analyzing the current waste management levels, practices and facilities, improving the efficiency of municipal waste collection system, promoting the sorting and recycling of waste vis-a-vis its reintegration in the market by exploring the waste industrial symbiosis and enhancing the capacities and practices of municipal workers and informal labourers (pickers) to manage waste, as well as to invest in public awareness raising activities.
Apart from its primary objective, the project will incorporate components of social stabilization by reducing the impact of Syrian displaced presence in the area, as well as to demonstrate their contribution to the common well-being by incorporating and formalizing pre-existing groups of waste pickers in the collection and sorting cycle, eventually promoting the generation of income for these vulnerable groups.

Citizens for Change
This project will directly benefit 195 citizens aged 18-45 years from the underserved areas of Bab Al Tabbaneh, Jabal Mohsen, Kobbeh, Abi Samra, Zahrieh and Bab Al Ramel and the relatively more privileged New Tripoli through a set of trainings on civic participation and peacebuilding, improving linkages with the Municipality of Tripoli, as well as citizen-led community support projects and community service activities. Through these interventions, this project aims to achieve a three-fold objective. First, Support the Municipality of Tripoli to mitigate tensions arising from Syrian refugee-host community relations and from inter-community relations, and alleviate resource pressure through basic services and community support projects. Second, Improve civic engagement of Tripoli youth in their communities and promote social inclusion of marginalized youth through igniting volunteerism and community service activities. Third, improve monitoring and evaluation and reporting mechanisms of activities implemented under this project.
To achieve the above-mentioned specific objectives, “Citizens for Change” project will establish 7 Youth Citizen Action Groups, one in each of the following highly marginalized areas in Tripoli: Bab Al Tabbaneh, Jabal Mohsen, Kobbeh, Abi Samra, Zahrieh and Bab Al Ramel and the relatively more privileged New Tripoli, and will establish 6 Local Committees, one in each of the highly marginalized areas in Tripoli: Bab Al Tabbaneh, Jabal Mohsen, Kobbeh, Abi Samra, Zahrieh and Bab Al Ramel. The groups will receive extensive training sessions on political skills, civic participation and peacebuilding. Following this, the local committees will lead and implement 2 community support projects, and the youth groups will lead and implement 7 public events and 7 small-scale community service activities. Concurrently with the launching of the 7 Youth Citizen Action Groups, a Core Group comprising of 21 youth (3 youth from each Youth Citizen Action Group) will be elected/selected to represent the Groups at the Municipality of Tripoli (MoT) with the ultimate aim of incorporating this youth federation as the MoT’s youth volunteering body. Also, the local committees will hold monthly public meetings with their respective communities and serve as the link between the MoT and the local communities.

Responding to the critical needs of vulnerable population in WASH and Health
IOCC is proposing a multi- sectoral project covering both health and WASH to respond to critical need of vulnerable population and reduce risk of contamination and water borne diseases.
Based on the LCRP, the focus of OCHA call as well as the mid-year 2016 LCRP review, there has been a clear need to focus on WASH. Knowing that the water levels in the Bekaa are dropping and water is no longer available or accessible for everyone, IOCC proposes to construct a 500m3 communal reservoir and equip it with a booster and a solar system so that water supply does not stop during electricity cuts. Moreover, IOCC proposes to connect 500 households to the new network of the village ensuring better quality and availability of water.
In Akkar, taking into account the massive amount of water being lost in leaks due to the old and poor functional network, IOCC proposes to construct a 5.4 km water network providing access to better quality water.
In addition to the above mentioned intervention, a hygiene promotion program will be undertaken in the benefiting villages. IOCC’s strategy is to start with community based focus group discussions enabling the staff to identify and establish a committee that involves people in the design of the sessions and the activities they would like to attend. The committee together with IOCC staff will set a list of local stakeholders and institutions where sessions can be conducted and with whom activities can be implemented, in the community, targeting the highest number of beneficiaries. The Hygiene Promotion program will include community events and activities such as cleaning up campaigns, recycling and crafts competitions, etc.
The committee, including Syrians and Lebanese, will receive an adequate Training of Trainers on all hygiene related topics and action points. This committee will serve and act as the focal point for both, the community and the relevant municipality. This exit strategy was proved to be a sustainable model in terms of community involvement and social cohesion, and a guarantee to timely maintenance of installed networks.
The weak funding level for the health sector in 2016, along an increased demand by local communities and the risk of deteriorating health conditions as a result of the increased vulnerability of refugees as reflected in 2016 VASyR, IOCC is aiming -through the health intervention part of the suggested project-to improve the maternal and child health status of the refugees in Akkar by improving access to quality health services within the PHCs through ensuring the provision of quality antenatal care and postnatal care consultations with a focus on IYCF (Infant and Young Child Feeding), reproductive health and malnutrition. Thus decreasing the risks of pregnancy complications and morbidity as well as decreasing the risks of morbidity and mortality of children under 5 years of age.

Enhancing the protection of adolescent girls and young women against sexual and gender based violence (SGBV) through innovative emergency response interventions
In order to address the heightened vulnerabilities of Syrian, Palestinian and Lebanese young women and adolescent girls in Lebanon, and in line with the Lebanese Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) for SGBV, DRC proposes to deliver an innovative intervention focusing on enhancing the protection of adolescent girls and young women, by preventing and mitigating the life-threatening impact of early marriage and increasing access to services. Through response services to those adolescents identified as at risk of early marriage, or already married, alongside addressing contributing factors and root causes, DRC’s proposed project fills an important life-saving gap in the SGBV response in Tripoli Lebanon.
The project aims at the following objectives:
1. To limit the life-threatening impact of child early and forced marriage (CEFM), through reaching the most vulnerable adolescent girls and engaging girls’ brothers, husbands, and caregivers:
Building on an existing partnership with the Women’s Refugee Commission (WRC), DRC will deliver a SGBV intervention, successfully piloted in 2015/16, focusing on both identifying and responding to the risks associated with CEFM. Through a door-to-door rapid assessment of the vulnerability of adolescent girls’ households (“Girl Roster’), at risk adolescent girls will be identified. Following initial engagement, DRC will conduct a Participatory Ranking Methodology (PRM) to deliver a 17-week, context specific, adolescent girls’ life skills curriculum to increase girls’ protective assets. In addition, DRC will deliver an 8-week curriculum to caregivers, including a separate dedicated curriculum for males i.e. husbands, fathers, brothers. Two men’s groups will be established in order to promote behavioural changes and encourage men to self-identify as change agents against GBV in their communities. Multipurpose cash will be provided to participating girls’ households when eligible with referral to other DRC interventions i.e. livelihoods, maximized. Adolescent girls who completed the 17-week life skills curriculum in DRC’s previous 2015/16 pilot project will be invited to be part of a mentorship scheme. Empowered and enabled mentors will help other adolescent girls to reach their full potential and build their social protective assets to limit the life threatening impact of CEFM.
2. Access of vulnerable women and girls and GBV survivors to quality services is improved: Through direct service provision (Tripoli) DRC will deliver services in women’s safe spaces (Women Resource Centers) –where a range of psychosocial support and case management services will be provided to young women, adolescent girls and SGBV survivors. For those women and girls facing imminent security risks and direct life threats, cash grants will be made available to secure their immediate physical safety (through other complimentary funding). Specialized case workers will follow up on these life-saving interventions and elaborate with the survivors a safety plan for the future. Training and advocacy on services targeting adolescent girls will also be delivered to other service providers.

Helping Hands Home Care
Older people remain some of the poorest and most neglected in the world. Several assessments have found that a significant number of elderly persons above the age of 60 are vulnerable to exclusion, abuse, neglect and increased hardships. They are in difficult economic situations unable to necessarily afford the specific care they require. The proposed intervention will use a community based approach and aims to contribute towards the elderly living independently in their community while retaining the dignity, wellness and resiliency. The care in their homes will be provided according to individual needs by community volunteers through scheduled weekly home visits and on a case by case basis further assistance may be given according to need. Beneficiaries will also be provided with information that links them to other available resources within their communities. The intervention is additionally aimed at supporting care givers so that they can maintain the capacity to care for the elderly in their community. The activities are targeted at households of Syrian displaced persons and the host community living in the areas of Dekweneh, Fanar, and Boucherieh which have been identified as vulnerable localities. Persons targeted are those at risk of neglect and abuse above the age of 60 years old and will be selected using a set vulnerability criteria. Project activities are planned for 12 months for 200 direct beneficiaries.

Life-saving advanced care for Palestinian refugees from Lebanon and from Syria
Refugees affected by acute or chronic life-threatening conditions requiring advanced care are amongst the most vulnerable individuals affected by the Syria crisis. The very high costs of specialized health services in Lebanon is a major barrier to accessing life-saving treatment for many the inability to timely access the care required can lead to permanent loss of functioning, disability and death for many of these patients. For refugee families, the need to privately fundraise for healthcare costs often activates a spiral of poverty, debt, increased vulnerability to human rights abuses, acute psychosocial distress and its somatic and mental health sequelae - leading to extreme vulnerability being transmitted across generations.
With this project, we aim to provide access to life-saving hospitalization and medications for Palestinian Refugees from Syria and from Lebanon affected by life-threatening conditions requiring advanced care. The majority of PRS and PRL are assisted by UNRWA, and therefore benefit from free universal access to PHC services, and nearly full coverage of secondary care hospitalization costs however, patients in need of advanced care hospitalization, or medications for catastrophic ailments, only benefit from partial coverage, and often need to contribute very large sums in order to get access to the medical care that they need to survive.
With the support of OCHA we propose to provide:
- Partial coverage of Advanced care hospitalization costs for Palestinian refugees from Syria affected by life-threatening conditions, additional to the one provided by UNRWA, up to a ceiling of $2,100 per procedure. Total estimated cost of this component for 10 months: $102,242. Estimated number of beneficiaries: 95
- Partial coverage of the costs of cancer medications, additional to one provided by UNRWA, for all PRS and PRL cancer patients requiring a course of treatment that costs more than $8,000 yearly. Total estimated cost of this component for 10 months: $30,000. Estimated number of beneficiaries: 18
- Partial coverage of the costs of medications for Multiple Sclerosis, for PRS and PRL patients. Total estimated cost of this component for 10 months: $143,500. Estimated number of beneficiaries: 41

Addressing the increasing vulnerabilities of the communities affected by the Syria crisis in Mount Lebanon with Multipurpose Cash Assistance
Nearly 1.5 million Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, 78% of those registered with UNHCR being women and children. The expenditure pattern presented on September 2015 in the Inter Agency Working Group shows that the most vulnerable people spend 56% of their income in food and 94% of Syrians are in debt.
Provision of Multi Purpose Cash Assistance in support to the severely and highly vulnerable families already benefiting from the current Program (ending in December 2016) for the Winter Period (from January 2017 to March 2017). This covers 445 Syrian HH. The targeted beneficiaries are among the most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crisis and have been identified through vulnerability criteria given by the HPQ assessment and the Desk Formula
This project is a continuation of the phase 1 (May-December 2016) whit the same beneficiaries being targeted for an additional 3 months so as to receive assistance until the end of the harsh winter period. This comes in line with the Basic Assistance sector, where UNHCR covers this caseload with a supplementary amount for the Winterization up until March 2017. This project clearly stress the importance no discontinuity of support to the same beneficiaries and ensures a continuity of support until the end of the winter in March 2017.
The project will also be giving sufficient time to the partners for a proper transition to the Common Red Card currently being distributed by UN agencies and LCC.
An additional caseload of 38 HH will also be added, identified through SIF hotline and in collaboration with UNHCR, referring Severely Vulnerable HH, never assisted before.
The final caseload will hence be 483 HH.

Continuation of Provision of Cash Assistance to Vulnerable Refugees from Syria and Affected Communities
The project will support Syrian and Lebanese households identified as severely vulnerable with Multi-Purpose Cash (MPC) for a period of 1 month, in addition to a winterization top-up for extremely vulnerable Lebanese families for 3 months. The Syrian and Lebanese families are already receiving MPC through January and February - funded through an existing OCHA grant. The proposed actions are therefor to secure winter top-up for Lebanese famliies as well as one additional month (March) of MPC for all beneficiaries. NRC is applying under the 2016 Reserve Allocation window and plans to provide MPC amounts to severely vulnerable families that are a) severely vulnerable households with the full MPC amount in Informal Settlements, and b) supporting extremely vulnerable Lebanese (15% of caseload).
Through ongoing Collective Site Management and Coordination (CSMC) programmes, The Norwegian Refugee Council will support beneficiaries living in Informal Settlements. The CSMC programme involves the creation and training of site management committees composed of refugee representatives who live in the Informal Settlements. The close familiarity and trust that NRC has built with these representatives will facilitate access to the most vulnerable refugees who may otherwise fall through the net and go unsupported.

Cash Assistance for Severely and Highly Vulnerable Households -- Phase II (CASH-II)
The "Cash Assistance for Severely and Highly Vulnerable Households – Phase II" (CASH-II) project will fill an important gap in urgent need for Syrian refugees living in Bekaa and Beirut and Mount Lebanon (BML) who are severely economically vulnerable and are especially vulnerable during the harsh winter months. Since January 2015, when Government of Lebanon (GOL) restrictions explicitly prohibited refugees from employment in addition to the pressures of an overwhelming number of refugees in certain locations, severe strain already limited economic resources for Syrian refugees. This caused many vulnerable families to engage in negative coping mechanisms including incurring debt, minimizing access to vital health and education services, engaging in child labor, prostitution, and forced and/or early marriage among other. The project is designed to contribute to the minimum amount required for a family to survive in Lebanon to meet its basic needs through direct multi-sector cash transfers to identified vulnerable households (HHs), thereby reducing economic stress to extremely vulnerable HHs, and contribute to mitigating vulnerability concerns for women and children.
CASH-II will specifically target the same Syrian beneficiaries of the RI’s “Cash Assistance for Severely and Highly Vulnerable Households” (CASH) Project (LEB-16/DDA-3604/Call for proposals/BA/INGO/2480) in order to ensure that these 531 households (HHs) receive multi-sector cash assistance (MSCA) corresponding to the winter months of January, February and March 2017. As per the recommendation of the Basic Assistance Working Group (BAWG), it is a priority to ensure that all Syrian refugee beneficiary HHs currently supported under the Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (LHF) projects receive the winterization top-up of $75 from November 2016 - March 2017 this is in addition to a continuation of the MSCA through March 2017 to ensure the full package of winterization support is provided. Therefore, the project is designed to ensure the targeted 531 Syrian refugee HHs receive the full package of winterization assistance comprising of $250 ($175 provided by RI as MSCA and the remaining $75 provided by UNHCR as winterization support). The assistance will be a direct continuation of assistance that otherwise would have ended in December 2016 with the closing of RI’s Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (LHF) CASH project.

LGBTIQ protection and empowerment
Even though Lebanon is considered as somewhat liberal however, individuals with alternative SOGIs continue to face legal and social barriers hindering these individuals access to holistic protection services.
Admittedly, the protracted civil war in Syria resulted in consequences that have spilled over to neighboring countries, increasing tensions between displaced refugees and hosting communities. The situation in Syria reignited social tensions between Lebanese and Syrians, which has led to further stigmatization and alienation of the Syrian population, and seeing as the LGBTIQ community in Lebanon is a marginalized minority, LGBTIQ Syrians have become one of the most vulnerable communities in Lebanon whose needs are marginally being met due to funding shortage and the political umbrella of the country.
As for social barriers, they are often exemplified through homophobia and violent acts towards persons with alternative sexualities. These discriminatory practices are resultant from the socialization of Lebanese individuals of all genders, whereby they are raised to believe in conservative social norms that does not include sexual or gender diversity. This homophobia is not limited to certain group of the Lebanese population for instance, in a study among medical doctors it was discovered that only 50% of physicians were willing to provide medical services for homosexuals and they often perceived alternative sexual behaviors as a “disease”.
Due to the aforementioned cause, there are two main gaps in terms of service provision for LGBTIQ communities in Lebanon the first being the lack of holistic, adequate, specialized and sensitive services to the LGBTIQ communities while the other is the lack of any service to individuals residing outside of Beirut. As such, this project will address these challenges ultimately aiming to enhance the overall wellbeing of LGBTIQ persons in Lebanon, through enhancing their access to sensitive services and the reduction of stigma. we will offer life skills, personality and team building lessons in our offices in Beirut to increase social cohesion and stability.
The project will attain its objective through enhancing the provision of holistic protection services for persons with alternative SOGI beyond the Beirut area, which is known as the service hub for LGBTIQ individuals.
Additionally, issues of livelihood and protection pertaining to refugees have sparked up, and tensions due to job employment have been ignited, making the marginalized and vulnerable communities more prone to the consequences of unemployment and inflation. Notwithstanding, MOSAIC aims to empower the refugee and host LGBTIQ community by providing the beneficiaries of this project with the proper skills to produce potential artistic products of manual work that can be later sold to generate income, thereby promoting self-funding during this dry economic phase.

Response to the food and non food needs, including provision of case management, of the highly vulnerable Palestine and Syrian Refugee families and hosting community, living in the Palestinian Camps and surrounding areas in Tyre and Saida
The present action aims at supporting 5,050 Palestine refugees from Syria (PRS) and Syrian refugees (SRS) and Palestine refugees from Lebanon (PRL) highly vulnerable households (approx. 16,344 individuals – 53%F, 52%lt18, 5%gt59) unable to meet their basic needs through direct support and referral, follow up and case management. The families will be selected according to their vulnerabilities and to their specific unmet needs. Assistance will provide vulnerable families food insecure with tailored unconditional cash assistance for food. Vulnerable girls, boys and women in need of protection support will be assisted through individual case management and referral to the services providers available in the targeted areas.
The action is conceived within the LCRP 2015-16 year 2 strategy and responds to the priorities of the HIP Syria Crisis 2016 - which specifically includes Palestine Refugees within priority group – and intends to coordinate with UNRWA (whose mandate is Palestine refugees), UNHCR (whose mission includes protection of Syrian) and the Palestinian camps main stakeholders (Popular committees, National and International NGOs, etc.)
The Action is built on the experience of three consecutive emergency ECHO projects (2012-2016) by Terre des Hommes Italia and Naba'a - Developmental Action without Border and two education and child protection interventions (UNICEF, TDH, and Italian MOFA funded) that supported the response to the massive influx in the camps and provided assistance to a total number of 63,411 beneficiaries dwelling in the Palestinian camps and gatherings in the following sectors: food assistance and livelihood (7,866), distribution of NFIs and cash assistance for new comers and winterization (24,297 beneficiaries), Protection (24,206), Child protection and education in emergency (14,426) and shelter rehabilitation targeting 3,733 persons.

Street Beat "Nabadoul 7aï"
Safadi Foundation proposes a project entitled “Street Beat” (“Nabadoul 7aï” in Arabic). It is a developmental, educational and therapeutic music platform designed to promote personal and social well-being, enhanced psychological health and peaceful coexistence. The project will gather Syrian displaced persons (refugees), Lebanese and persons with special needs or illnesses, with a special emphasis on children and youth, in a dynamic environment in which they can learn from each other’s experiences. The main purpose of this project will be to promote peace and understanding within three targeted host communities: Jabal Mohsen, Tabbeneh and Qobbeh, Tripoli. These communities represent deeply impoverished areas of Tripoli as well as host communities that have a high population of Syrian refugees. The project will particularly focus on developing the undiscovered talents and abilities of children (ages 5-12) and youth (ages 13-24) so that they are able to use music a form of therapy and self-expression. Adults in the community will also be welcome to learn, providing men and women who are unemployed or facing difficult circumstances or housewives a chance to undertake a positive initiative in their lives. The project will invite persons (of all ages) with disabilities or chronic illnesses to participate, allowing music to become part of their coping mechanisms in confronting their daily health challenges. Together, they will learn to play music together, dance together, sing in a choir, and write lyrics and music in the creation of new songs that represent their stories that they would like to share with their communities. This will allow them the opportunity to learn and grow together, and fundamentally cooperate towards one common objective of sharing a message of peaceful co-existence during a time of crisis. At the end of the project a closing concert will be held to show what beneficiaries have learned and to display the many talents that can be found in difficult circumstances.

Multi-purpose cash assistance for poor vulnerable Lebanese households in Beirut southern suburbs
PU-AMI will distribute multi-purpose cash assistance to 660 extremely poor Lebanese households residing in Beirut’s Southern Suburbs in Baabda district. PU-AMI will select up to three municipalities in the Southern Suburbs of Beirut to implement the project, based on the most vulnerable communities according to the REACH assessment in 2015 as well as in coordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs (MoSA) and the National Poverty Targeting Program (NPTP). Preference will be given to the most vulnerable municipalities of Ghobeiry, Haret Hreik and Bourj El Brajneh.
The cash assistance proposed will be $175 per month per family for 7 months, which is the amount agreed upon by the MoSA, UNHCR and the Basic Assistance Working Group as the standard amount to be distributed to both vulnerable Syrians and Lebanese. The amount is based on the gap between average incomes amongst vulnerable Syrians and the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket. Whilst Lebanese may have different income levels, the amount being distributed is the same to provide equal assistance. The timeframe proposed allows for the maximum number of households to be assisted but is flexible and the assistance could be adjusted, depending on MoSA and donor priorities and preferences. Families will be selected based on results of household assessment undertaken by the NPTP. Subject to this vulnerability scoring mechanism, the poorest households that are not already receiving any other cash assistance , will be selected for the programme.
The list of households will be provided by NPTP to PU-AMI, who will co-ordinate the distribution of 660 CSC cards at the MoSA’s Social Development Centres (SDCs), located in the targeted municipalities. PU-AMI will also provide a follow-up for the cards through the management of a hotline and support to beneficiaries for card-relatedproblems, together with PU-AMI’s banking partner, BankMed, on the technical problems. Distribution of replacement PINS and cards will also be carried out by PU-AMI and will take place through the SDCs A total number of 40 extra cards, to the 660, will be purchased for this replacement purpose. The number of extra cards for replacement is calculated on the basis of PUAMI previous experience in similar projects and specifically within the WFP program.
PU-AMI will work closely with the NPTP and MoSA on the implementation of this project. PU-AMI is already working with NPTP/ MoSA on cash distributions for UNICEF so has an existing relationship. Joint SOPs will be drafted detailing each agencies’ role in the project prior to commencing distributions and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) will be signed between PU-AMI and SDCs. MoSA and NPTP representatives will be present and co-host the distributions in order to enhance their role and ownership of the intervention. Pre and post-distribution monitoring activities will also be undertaken to investigate the impact of the cash assistance on vulnerability and may be done jointly with NPTP/ MoSA staff if resources allow.

Provision of Cash Assistance to Vulnerable Refugees from Syria and Affected Communities
The project will support households identified as highly or severely vulnerable with Multi-Purpose Cash for a period of 8 months. NRC is applying under the first allocation window and plans to provide MPC amounts to severely and highly vulnerable families that are a) living in properties that are not eligible for the NRC Occupancy Free of Charge (OFC) programme, b) severely and highly vulnerable households with the full MPC amount in Informal Settlements, and c) supporting extremely vulnerable Lebanese (15% of caseload).
Through the CSMC programme, NRC will support beneficiaries living in Informal Settlements. The CSMC programme involves the creation and training of site management committees composed of refugee representatives who live in the Informal Settlements. The close familiarity and trust that NRC has built with these representatives will facilitate access to the most vulnerable refugees who may otherwise fall through the net and go unsupported.
In buildings outside of IS, families found to be severely or highly socio-economically vulnerable, but living in properties that are not eligible for rehabilitation upgrades, will be targeted through this intervention. The Occupancy Free of Charge (OFC) programme provides vulnerable households with 12-months rent-free accommodation. NRC achieves this by contracting Lebanese homeowners to upgrade their unfinished building and bring them up to the agreed minimum standard, and host Syrian refugee families for a period of 12 months.
Currently, neither the Basic Assistance (BA) WG nor the Lebanon Cash Consortium (LCC) have officially supported, or prevented, beneficiaries receiving rent-free shelter support also receiving MPC, whether the full amount or a top-up amount. As such, until there is a clear position communicated by the BA WG to the different MPC and shelter programme donors, NRC will not target NRC rent-free shelter beneficiaries for the full MPC amount or top-up amount. OCHA’s assistance in resolving these ongoing discussions would be most welcome. During the course of the grant, should the position of the BA WG be made clear, then NRC may also target severely and highly vulnerable refugees that are also benefiting from the NRC rent-free shelter programme – with either the full amount or top-up a mount, whichever is endorsed by the BA WG. Should this be possible, NRC would communicate this proposed change in targeting to ERF in advance.

Developing MSMEs to expand their businesses and increasing job creation
Entrepreneurs in the Northern governorate are facing difficulties and obstacles in order to expand and sustain their businesses. BIAT’s approach is to find innovative solutions to: increase the competitiveness between MSMEs by conducting a business plan competition between existing MSMEs, help MSMEs in expanding their business by creating new branches/products/services provide seed capitals for the advancing MSMEs in the project increase their productivity by enhancing the human resource competencies through upgrading the existing employees Linking the right skilled employees at the right workplaces.
This will be based on creating new approaches and models in delivering business support services in addition to the classical role of BIAT answering direct needs of local businesses through facilitating access to finance access to markets, networking between MSMEs, stakeholders and skilled human resources capacity building transferring knowledge and innovation and recruitment support through its services, projects and programs.
There’s a need to create such initiatives in Tripoli where most of MSMEs, youth and women are emerged in a deprived environment. The project will focus on: 1- Launching a business plan competition for existing MSMEs willing to expand 2- Setting a list of criteria for the selection of 40 MSMEs 3- Capacity building for the 40 MSME on business model canvas and the lean start-up with an integration of the green components in their business model along with awareness sessions on green industry. 4- Selecting the top 7 business plans and grants distribution 5- Identifying and conducting soft skills training for 30 youth (existing staff of the selected MSMEs and for other vulnerable youth) 6- increasing the employability of vulnerable groups specifically youth and women by adopting paid internships program for 15 youth in the 7 selected MSMEs (2 to 3 interns per MSME- $300 per month) for a period of 3 months.

Towards institutionalized protection of women and children survivors of Gender Based Violence in Emergency contexts
This project is based on the emerging evidence for the need to provide specialized mental health services for women and girls survivors of SGBV, including sexual assault in addition to the emerging need to provide safe accommodation/sheltering services for boys over 12 years of age (noting that boys between 12-18 can not be hosted at the shelters operated by ABAAD) ABAAD proposes under this project to respond to the follow gaps in services:
2. Financial coverage of CMR related and specialized mental health services for SGBV survivors
3. Support national systems to respond to the needs of boys aged between 12-18 years old survivors or at risk of SGBV
Several efforts have been exerted in previous years to ensure the quality delivery of CMR related services at a national level. Currently, several hospitals and primary health care centers have been trained and equipped with PEP kits to provide such holistic services for all survivors regardless of their nationalist, age or gender. However, currently two main gaps have persisted and/or emerged that compromise the quality delivery of services, which include: the lack of funds to cover CMR related and mental health services (such as lab testing, forensic doctor fees) especially for non-refugee survivors.

"El Hay" - Neighborhood for all: integrated multi-scale intervention for the vulnerable population of Qobbe area, Tripoli
Over the past 5 years of crisis in Syria, Tripoli and its surrounding areas in the North Governorate have hosted more than 150,000 Syrian refugees. The protracted nature of the Syrian crisis has led to a continuous and higher pressure on resources on already vulnerable Lebanese households living in poorly served urban areas of Tripoli, where, even prior to the Syrian crisis, the socio-economic situation was particularly precarious as many areas suffered historically from violent clashes.
Building on its 4-year long experience in Tripoli area, SI has developed an integrated strategy to reduce pressure within the communities and improve the living conditions of the vulnerable host and refugee households living in the poorest neighborhoods of Tripoli. As part of its strategy, SI is proposing here to implement a multi-scale integrated approach at the unit, building and sub-neighborhood scale, in targeted sub-neighborhood of Qobbe area (vulnerable neighborhood in eastern Tripoli). SI’s approach combines a hard component, through the rehabilitation of shelter and WaSH infrastructures at the three scales aforementioned, and a soft component, through a strong community mobilization, inclusion and participatory approach. Indeed, SI believes that a proper environment is key to develop the basis to fostering a more stable social environment and more positive relations between communities within their neighborhood. The hard component of this project will have an immediate impact on targeted households (and in particular the ones with reduced mobility for whom accessibility will be improved) supporting them to live in a dignified environment within a short timeframe.
The soft component will go along with the rehabilitation activities by involving the local communities and calling for their participation in the design and identification of the public places to rehabilitate (whether at the communal or sub-neighborhood scale), with the support of an experienced community mobilization team well known in the area. A strong focus will be put on the youth and women participation to the design activities and awareness sessions (waste campaigns, mural painting) as the key to sustain those activities and guaranteeing their impact on a longer term.

Increasing local community involvement in solid waste management to improve long term municipal performance
This intervention, which represents a scaling up of ACTED’s innovative approach to solid waste management for an improved environment in Akkar and Beirut and Mount Lebanon, will target the three municipalities of Meshmesh, Chartoun, and Kfarnabrakh, in Akkar and Mount Lebanon, respectively. By incorporating the needs and priorities of municipalities as well as local community members throughout the stakeholder mapping and community engagement processes, ACTED will ensure that this intervention is designed with both top-down and bottom-up approaches and takes into consideration the needs of vulnerable groups, such as women, youth, and persons with disabilities. By simultaneously increasing the technical capacity of municipal workers and promoting understanding and awareness on proper sorting at the household and community level, ACTED will contribute to sustainable behavioural change in solid waste management for an improved environment in Lebanon.

Strengthening Protection and Empowerment of Women and Girls through Comprehensive Community-Based GBV Prevention and Response
With funding from OCHA, IRC will continue its ongoing strategy of increasing access to life saving SGBV prevention and response activities.
IRC will support the Lebanese Red Cross (LRC) to establish a mobile team in North Bekaa, where there is a critical gap in services available for SGBV survivors. IRC has begun direct service provision in North Bekaa (Hermel, Qaa, Masharieh el Qaa) in recent months, though the needs far exceed the capacity of IRC to fully respond. LRC is well positioned to provide these critical services given their extensive acceptance in communities across Lebanon, including access to areas where many other organisations are not permitted. Building upon a pilot in Akkar where IRC supported LRC to establish two mobile teams, IRC and LRC will implement a similar model of capacity building and support to establish one mobile team in North Bekaa. As well, IRC will work with LRC to build sustainable GBV capacity across the organisation through GBV core concepts Training of Trainers and targeted capacity building based on a jointly developed training plan.
IRC will also support capacity building and strengthening across the GBV and non-GBV sectors on critical issues of GBV prevention and response. In particular, IRC will expand support in Bekaa and nationally including on service provision through mobile teams, approaches to working with adolescent girls, life skills curriculum implementation with women and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse.
IRC will aim at achieving the following results in collaboration with the Lebanese Red Cross:
1. Women and adolescent girls affected by or at risk of SGBV have access to critical response and prevention services through safe spaces and mobile approaches
2. A protective environment for women and girls within their communities is created through community mobilization and capacity building
3. Capacity of local actors and community members to provide quality comprehensive SGBV response and prevention services through safe spaces and mobile approaches is strengthened

Improving drinking water infrastructure in Aley and Mount Lebanon Governorates
Directly through the private sector, UNICEF will implement water infrastructure projects to mitigate the impact of the Syrian crisis among 6,800 vulnerable Lebanese and 500 Syrian refugees. More than 25 km of pipes of deteriorated water networks will be rehabilitated and extended. Women and girls are the major beneficiaries as they carry the highest level of accountability in both sourcing and managing water for domestic hygiene and livelihood purposes, as well as taking care of children when sick from water related diseases.

Establishing dialogue and local conflict response mechanisms in Lebanon
The objective of the proposed project is to create conditions that are conducive to future dialogue and collaboration between stakeholders’ in addressing tensions between and within communities. The overarching idea behind the project is to mitigate tensions between host communities and refugees through social cohesion and social stability actions. Thus, in order to address the need for mechanisms at the local level to address tensions between host and refugee communities, SFCG will engage individuals from both communities, as well as legitimate and trustworthy local stakeholders (including municipality members), to jointly address conflicts.
Through capacity building sessions and roundtable discussions, selected participants will be equipped with the necessary skills to further develop local mechanisms which can prevent and/or address potential community conflicts.

Improving access to safe drinking water in Southern Lebanon and improvement of sanitation conditions for Syrian Refugees with reduced environmental impact in Marj El Khokh IS in Marjaayoun Area
The project aims at increasing the access to safe water of the population living in the villages of Qlayaa and Deir Mimas (District of Marjaayoun), Baysour (District of Jezzine), contributing to the same aim in Mayfadoun and Kfarfila (District of Nabatiyeh), and to improve the sanitary conditions of the refugees living in the Informal Settlement (IS) of Marj Al Khokh A (P-code 73111-01-001).
For the first component, works consist in the construction of water lines to connect reservoirs to pumping stations. In particular, the project will connect either the pumping station of Marj Al Khokh to a reservoir that will serve the villages of Deir Mimas and Qlayaa and the ground reservoir of Baysour to the main lift line coming from Ain el Mir: the intervention will replace the actual lift line, now too aged to properly work and to be maintained.
Under the same component, through the co-funding of EU Project (ref ENI/2015/362-453), boreholes will be equipped and to connected to existing reservoirs by means of transmission lines in the municipalities of Kfarfila and Mayfadoun.
For the second component, the project will install wastewater treatment plants for clusters of tents in order to improve the general conditions of sanitation in the IS, reducing the impact of the IS on the environment.

Social Stability and conflict Resolution through Art, Culture and Activism in marginalized areas.
As part of MARCH's three year plan to counter conflict and radicalization among the youth in vulnerable areas in Lebanon, through art and culture in the first phase, and then through empowering them to bring about positive change in their own community and transforming them into activists and agents of generational change, we are looking to kickstart two new phases in our project. It is important to note that these 2 phases can be done in parallel as suggested in this proposal as well as chronologically.
The first one is the logical continuation of our original peace-building project between the Tripolitan communities. Following the success of the play and the establishment of the cultural cafe between Syria Street (bab el tebbneh) and adjacent Muhajarin Street (Jabal Mohsen) and helping the youth to use art to bring them together as well as voice their frustrations and concerns , today we aim to empower them to bring about positive change to their neighborhoods and communities, by providing them with the necessary tools and capacities to rehabilitate the shops and commercial spaces in the area. Currently, Syria Street has around 350 business venues that are prevented from operating properly due to the poor condition of the street and store fronts. We aim to address the situation of 50 shops in this first phase, before extending the project when proven effective. In order to counter the dire economic conditions of the area, which are correlated with instability and violence, we want to involve the youth, most vulnerable category to yield to radicalization and extremist ideology due to lack of purpose, lack of hope, poverty and decreasing social cohesion.
The first phase of the project will involve technical capacity building of around 50 youth in various aspects of rebuilding (electricity, woodwork, paint etc.). The second phase will involve them in refurbishing and renovating shops on the Syria Street (and adjacent street in Jabal Mohsen, Muhajirine Street) under the supervision of professionals. The youth will also promote their work and raise awareness about the conditions they live in, through rap songs and video clips in order to continue using art as a catalyst for social change.
In the second project, we hope to replicate the success of the Tripoli project in Akkar as a way to counter growing radicalization and extremism in the region.
We will start by creating a theatrical performance inspired by the lives of impoverished Lebanese communities. Castings will be held to hire between 20 and 35 actors/singers and actresses/singers aged between 16-30, from lower economic backgrounds who are unemployed The youth will be picked from different religious and cultural backgrounds, from areas with very poor social cohesion. They will undergo training in acting, as well as leadership and communication, as well as received advice from opinion leaders and famous artists. A comedy play or musical inspired by their lives will be written by a director and a team of artists who will supervise the rehearsals before touring Akkar, Tripoli and Beirut to present the play and spread a message of tolerance and hope. The play performance will be the first step as part of an overall plan similar to that of Tripoli as below:
1. Recruitment of (marginalized) youth (part of this project)
2. Art reconciliation with the use of branding and messaging (part of this project )
3. Deeping reconciliation through a sustainable and symbolic
platform: The Cultural Café and activism art. (outside the scope of this project)
4. Transforming participants into activists to be a part of a larger
youth movement and empowering them to improve their
conditions in their communities (outside the scope of this project)

Improving Access to Equitable Energy and Reducing Wastage in Machta Hammoud
Electric energy wastage is a long-term problem that requires long-term solutions for communities across Lebanon. Starting 2016, the Lebanese government requested that the WASH cluster be renamed Water and Energy cluster and to include energy components that include improving access to electric power, renewable power and alternative sources of power. In order to contribute to solutions, Mercy-USA Lebanon will work directly with the municipality of Machta Hammoud and Ministry of Energy and Water to provide varying services that improve electricity use, improve municipality capacity to provide alternative power sources to local beneficiaries. Also, improve use of renewable energy and reduce existing tensions between the Lebanese and Syrian refugees in the locality. The project will serve a total population estimated at 8,700 individuals (6,500 Lebanese Host and 2,200 Syrian Refugees) through the following:
1) Provision of 3 new substations and rehabilitation of 4 existing substations to improve distribution of power and to reduce load on the existing units by also rehabilitating 160 electrical poles and adding 80 new metallic electric poles with the needed power lines.
2) Installation of 50 energy-efficient LED bulbs and poles as well as replacing 200 incandescent bulbs (of 250W) with 80W LED bulbs and replacing the 50 of the current streetlights (on main roads) with new solar-power streetlights and 80W LED bulbs.
3) Provision of up to 8,500 energy saving bulbs (7W) to Machta Hammoud beneficiaries including schools and any other public buildings to decrease KWATT usage in the village by 85% per bulb (from 60W per bulb)
4) Provision of an awareness campaign for the community with varying activities and that also includes capacity building with the municipality on energy saving and maintenance of resources.
5) Provision of 1 bucket truck to the Machta Hammoud municipality to improve maintenance capacity to maintain PV streetlights and other relevant items and will allow the municipality to share resources with nearby municipalities.
Through the implementation of this project, not only does Mercy-USA contribute directly to the Ministry of Energy and Water (MoEW) strategy who have provided positive feedback on this project and expressed hope that this project acts as a pilot and encouragement for other agencies to implement similar projects while also contributing to slight improvements in environmental considerations in that it is a comprehensive and integrated activity that reduces expenses, improves energy use and improves the capacity of the local government.
Finally, the project would be implemented in direct coordination with the MoEW and any other relevant Ministries to ensure that the project outputs are in-line with Government of Lebanon requirements.

Strengthening Resilience Among Vulnerable Children in Mt. Lebanon Saida
As always Child Protection is an integral part of himaya’s contribution to the fulfillment of the Millennium Declaration and the Millennium Development Goals, in addition to being one of the Core Programme Commitments under the LCRP in response to the Syrian Crisis. No doubt, it intersects with each and every one of the goals from children education to the elimination of gender inequality to reducing child mortality. These MDG’s will not be achieved if we fail to address child protection needs. A protective environment for children helps boost the development progress, improves health, education, the well-being of children, and builds up their capacities to become parents and productive members in the society. Therefore, the aim of this project is to nourish the child protection environment for children, both refugees and from host community, considering the different backgrounds they come from.
In the defined 8 months period, the proposed project aims to address the host community affected by the Syria crisis, along with Syrian Refugees settling in some of the most disadvantaged areas located in Mt. Lebanon and South Lebanon (Saida and Tyre). An estimated number of 40 children in Mt. Lebanon and 80 in South Lebanon will benefit from case management around 60% of those are from the Syrian Refugees and 40 % the Lebanese Host Community.
The project is designed as an extension of the pilot project implemented in Mt. Lebanon from August 2015- August 2016 and expanding to a new area which is South Lebanon for implementing 8 months project there. Aiming to provide psycho-social support for vulnerable children populated in some of the most disadvantaged areas in Lebanon, through empowering children and youth with resiliency and tolerance to help them cope with the displacement situation, develop leadership skills, and promote healthy lifestyle and integration with host communities.
The goals of the proposed project is to improve the well-being of girls and boys vulnerable to violence, abuse, exploitation and neglect by increasing their access to essential services in the areas of protection, education and health and by strengthening family, community, civil society and Government, child protection systems. Assessments have shown the importance of addressing such goals in South Lebanon, whereby the percentage of children and youth accessing specialized services is slightly low. As part of its strategic plan and sustainability priorities, himaya is aiming to open a new office in South Lebanon, as studies have shown the magnitude of having specialized case management services in the area, specifically in Saida and its surroundings, and the difficulties the team and beneficiaries are facing in following up with high risk cases from the headquarter office on Beirut.

Urgent Complementary WASH project in Tripoli, North Lebanon Most Vulnerable Neighbourhoods
The proposed project is a complimentary gap filling humanitarian project that is conducted directly from the community members through the ongoing performed community mobilization sessions under LRC’s water and sanitation infrastructural project in North Lebanon’s most vulnerable neighbourhoods in partnership with UNICEF. These neighborhoods have witnessed 7 years of clashes due to difference in sectarian (Alawites and Sunnis) and political overviews (Pro Syrian Regime and opposition).
The project aims to promote the right to live in a dignified community, decrease negative health implications due to unmanaged wastewater and improper water quality, increase the sense of security leading to a decrease in immigration, and enhance and provide minimum living standards for children, women, disabled, youth, elderly, and men on an equal basis through:
- Supporting the community to ensure sufficient water quantity of appropriate water quality.
- Ensure proper WASH connections that were affected during the clashes by fixing the leaking sewage pipes and preventing the collection of rainwater in the buildings’ infrastructure.
The implementation is to diminish the clashes’ upshots from shelled water tanks to affected sanitation of buildings. The project is in coordination with WASH partners, NLWE, Fayhaa Union of Municipalities, and Tripoli’s municipality. It targets residents living in Tripoli’s poorest and most vulnerable region, Qobbe, and specifically the frontline neighbourhoods: Baqqar, Tanak, Hariri Compound, Riva, American, and Latifa.

Addressing the increasing vulnerabilities of the communities affected by the Syria crisis in Mount Lebanon with Multipurpose Cash Assistance
Nearly 1.2 million Syrian refugees have fled to Lebanon, 78% of those registered with UNHCR being women and children. The expenditure pattern showed in September 2015 in the Inter Agency Working Group shows that the most vulnerable people spend 56% of their income in food and 94% of Syrians are in debt. SIF is implementing an Unconditional Cash Assistance Program (UCAP) ending in March 2016 to the benefit of 811 HH, among them, 311 are benefiting of unconditional cash in order to face the ongoing winter. With this proposal SIF wishes to provide life-saving assistance to vulnerable women, men, girls, and boys in Mount Lebanon and hence bridge the gap between 2015 and 2016 winterization cycles
SIF proposes a dual response:
1) Identification of most vulnerable persons through collaboration with UNHCR for Severely and Highly vulnerable Syrian Refuges and NPTP for the most Vulnerable Lebanese. This first response includes the identification of Protection cases (Child Protection, Sexual and Gender Based Violence, persons lacking legal documentation) and referral internally or to external actors aiming at achieving access to services
2) Provision of unconditional cash in support to the severely and highly vulnerable families identified for a period of 8 months (From May 2016 to December 2016). SIF will target most vulnerable people affected by the Syrian crises, including the Lebanese families (15%) as part of the NPTP MoSA program. Beneficiaries will be targeted through vulnerability criteria using the Household profiling Questionnaire (HPQ) analyzing:
Personal factors: intrinsic (but not always fixed) condition of the members of the family, (person with disability, old person, women alone, , etc) including their condition in relation to their gender (male/female), age (infant, children, elder persons, etc) or other individual changing conditions (pregnant or lactating women, etc).
Environmental factors: relate to the family/community support, economic situation, housing conditions. SIF will support both the Basic Assistance and Protection Working Groups’ strategies by sharing information and experience from the field.

Providing improved access to essential goods and services for highly vulnerable populations in hard to reach areas
The project “Providing improved access to essential goods and services for highly vulnerable populations in hard to reach areas” aims at mitigating the existent constraints surrounding access to both food and non-food items/services, and the subsequent negative mechanisms utilized by individuals and families to manage these access constraints. This project will do so with direct, unconditional cash transfer support to allow people to meet some of their basic needs. ACF will propose an unconditional multi-purpose cash-based assistance intervention targeting the most severely economically vulnerable Syrian Refugees and extremely poor Lebanese households living in hard to reach areas, where assistance coverage is extremely reduced. The cash support serves as a boost to the purchasing power of people in need, facilitating their access to goods and services available in the markets, those which are not directly accessible for the target populations through the existing cash transfer modalities. This project will also serve as a boost to the local market economies, particularly local vendors that will benefit from direct cash injection in their businesses.
In order to increase transparency, dignity, speed, security, and monitor impact of aid response, ACF will use the KACHE System (Kit for Autonomous Cash transfer in Humanitarian Emergencies) made of: a) a small number of “terminals” to be deployed at selected vendors offering goods and/or services in the intervention areas (shops, market stalls, health centres, etc.), working on large-duration batteries and not needing to be connected to any telecommunication network b) a large number of smart cards to be easily configured at the beginning of the response with beneficiaries personal data and amount of cash to be monthly transferred, and c) a comprehensive monitoring software allowing to track the locations and goods/services purchased by the beneficiaries. With the use of this modality of e-payments ACF will be able to reach the targeted areas, usually under-served (due to restricted access to agencies and no banks/ATM present in the area) and will allow for closer monitoring of activities and programme impact.

Micro-gardening and Nutrition for Vulnerable Syrian Refugees and Vulnerable Lebanese
This project aims to contribute to the improvement of food security for the most vulnerable Syrian refugees and members of hosting communities, through the introduction of kitchen gardens and off soil agriculture (micro-gardens), and increasing the knowledge on nutrition as well as food processing and conservation, as per Outcome 3 of the LCRP on Food Security: ‘Food utilization: improved food safety and nutrition practices through the promotion of consumption of diversified and quality food’. The project will be implemented in INTERSOS working areas in Bekaa, Mount Lebanon, and Nabatiyyeh, where activities will be implemented in INTERSOS CCs and Embedded CCs, and in selected Collective Shelters (CS), Informal Tented Settlements (ITS) and other sites. Through hands-on activities and awareness sessions, the project will increase awareness on nutrition and healthy diets, and will assist beneficiaries in complementing their food intake with crops grown in kitchen and micro-gardens, thus decreasing expenditures on the purchase of vegetables and increasing the size and diversity of the food basket. The project will target women, men, and children among the most vulnerable Syrian refugees, through INTERSOS CCs and selected ITSs, in addition to the most vulnerable Lebanese, increasing resilience and opportunities for self-help. Since women and girls are the main target of INTERSOS Protection Programmes, agricultural activities of this project will be inserted into INTERSOS life-skills curriculum targeting especially GBV survivors. The project will benefit from the experience of a local NGO, Green Orient, which will ensure a strong link with local institution and populations.

Alleviating the Burdens of Displacement on Persons With Disabilities Among Refugees from Syria and in Lebanese Host Communities
The World Rehabilitation Fund (WRF) is submitting this updated Project proposal in response to the Lebanon Country Based Pooled Fund (CBPF) call for proposals - 2015 Second Quarter Allocation.
This proposed project is designed to contribute to efforts to address the expanding needs of persons with disabilities (PWDs) among refugees from Syria (RfS) in Lebanon and their peers in the Lebanese communities hosting them (LHCs). Proposed interventions in the eight Governorates of Lebanon are programmed to be implemented over a period of six months set to start on April 1, 2016.
The proposed project aims to improve the physical and psycho-social well-being and livelihoods of 720 PWDs (among RfS and their peers in LHCs) who have “life-saving” needs. It will improve their protection, livelihoods, and social inclusion, and expand their contribution to family and community well-being. All within the context of effective advocacy of their safety, dignity, and rights. In doing this, the project will:
- Fill critical gaps in humanitarian assistance.
- Ensure assistance and protection for subgroups of vulnerable, seriously disadvantaged, and poor PWDs by providing needed “life-saving” prosthetic and orthotic devices and related services, and by providing prescription hearing aids and eyeglasses and related services.
- Strengthen concerned national and local service delivery entities and systems through active collaboration and coordination with concerned Governmental Ministries, UN agencies, and INGOs and through collaborative capacity building partnerships with native service providers.
- Advocate for the rights and needs of PWDs with particular attention to women, children, and youth who are among the most vulnerable.
The proposed project is based on an in-depth dynamic understanding of needs. Proposed interventions are based on the experiential understanding and know-how of WRF gained through years of experience in Lebanon (since 1984) particularly through its Prosthetics/Orthotics, emergency rehabilitation, and community-based rehabilitation (CBR) services programs and including:
1- The successful and efficient implementation of an ERF (UN-OCHA) funded project (November 2013 - May 2014) that provided direct assistance in the form of prosthetic and orthotic devices and services, and prescription hearing aids and eyeglasses to 738 persons with disabilities among RfS and their peers in LHCs
2- A leadership role since June 2013 as a founding member and as the “Secretariat” of the Disability and Older Age Working Group (DaOAWG) in Lebanon
3- Active involvement in the National Protection working group and as an elected member of the National Protection Core Group.
4- Active involvement in the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan (LCRP) 2015-2016 as one of the partners involved in developing the Protection Sector Strategic Plan and related indicators.
5- Proactive involvement in networking and coordination with concerned governmental bodies, INGOs, native organizations, activists, and service providers.
6- A long track record and experience in addressing various needs of PWDs in Lebanon (since 1984) including post-war humanitarian assistance with funding from USAID, The Leahy War Victims Fund, UNDP, and OFDA.
WRF is requesting funding in the amount of $517,887 US Dollars to implement this proposed project

Child Labor in Bab Al Tebbaneh
Despite some progress to improve the policy framework for human rights protection and refugees’ rights, Lebanon is continuously falling short of international benchmarks. It is a home to profound political, ethnic, and religious complexities that result in a complicated internal conflict between sect, confession, tribe and family. In addition to this, the Syrian crisis polarized the Lebanese political and sectarian divisions , furthermore creating an increasing reluctance among the political actors to compromise on sensitive issues.
Deteriorating socio-economic conditions and non-attendance in school are important antecedent factors to the rise of child labor in the country. Given the prolonged duration of the Syrian crisis and deteriorating living conditions coupled with the sharp increase in the total number of Syrian refugees fleeing to Lebanon, it is expected that the number of working children will rise. The Lebanese Ministry of Labor has increased its estimate of 100,000 child workers in the country to 180,000.
In retrospect, despite the fact that several local and international agencies are contributing to the reduction of working children yet none has reached a total withdrawal of children from the labor market, therefore, it is highly important to intervene at this level to combat child labor in the poorest area in Lebanon, leading us to Bab Al Tebbaneh , considered as the main vein for exporting terrorists and extremists. In this context, RMF through this project will be approaching the child labor issue through different angles giving importance to education, awareness, protection and advocacy components.

Bringing Adequate Sanitation Infrastructure in Zgharta and Mejdlaya
By mid-2015, Lebanon is host to more than 1.5 million Syrian refugees scattered across more than 1,500 municipalities. These population increases are a result of push factors (the situation in Syria) and pull factors (the level of assistance in Lebanon and the border policy of the Lebanese Government). Various assessments, conducted since the Syrian influx, show that these pull factors also relate to levels of security, livelihood, and socio-political structures within Lebanon. All geographical areas with a high concentration of Syrian refugees in Lebanon share a similar protracted marginality, underdevelopment, and weak infrastructure. This makes it very difficult for humanitarian agencies, government planners and local authorities to have a full understanding of their numbers and needs. Everyone is overwhelmed.
Furthermore, repercussions of the Syrian conflict on Lebanon’s internal affairs and on the region has a direct impact on the living conditions of both Lebanese communities and Syrian refugees in the country. Unfortunately, this situation has led to more tension among Syrian refugees and host communities and in some cases led to armed conflict. However, it is noteworthy that each community has its own needs which require specific intervention. Accordingly, RMF through its strategy for responding to emergency situations, conducted community need assessments with local community stakeholders and local authority representatives in North Lebanon for tackling the specific needs of each community. In this context and as an initiative for reducing conflicts among Syrian refugees and host communities caused due to the lack of sustainable infrastructure services, the René Moawad Foundation (RMF) after consulting the community needs in Zgharta and Mejdlaya designed this proposal to ensure (1) 33000 people among which 3000 are Syrian refugees will be provided with a healthier environment by providing two additional garbage compactor trucks in Zgharta, (2) 3440 people among which 640 Syrian refugees will have access to a 940 meters sewage network, and (3) raise the awareness of the targeted community through providing sanitation facilities and board games to public schools in Zgharta Caza and give 750 students registered in public schools booklet on WASH and conflict resolution.

Improving access to nutritious and diverse fresh foods for vulnerable populations in Beirut and Mount Lebanon
This proposal outlines an innovative strategy for meeting the urgent, life-saving needs of crisis affected populations in highly vulnerable urban areas of Greater Beirut (Dahiyeh and Lower Metn), while improving the resilience of communities and filling a gap in food aid provision due to the protracted nature of the crisis, and reduced funding allocations for food assistance. This project is intended to serve as a pilot for solutions aimed at contributing to improved resilience of urban communities in Lebanon facing increasing densification due to the Syrian crisis, adding pressures on existing resources and decreasing social cohesion.
Specifically, the proposed project follows a two-fold approach to home-based food production in urban contexts. The first focuses on setting up of vertical gardens targeting individual vulnerable households. The second output focuses on the design and establishment of community gardens to contribute to improved social cohesion and reduce tensions in the community, while at the same time improving access to diverse, local and nutritious food for vulnerable members of the community. In addition, the project design attempts to mitigate impacts on overstretched natural resources by facilitating the set-up of rainwater harvesting mechanisms for some of the aforementioned food production. This project will also provide all stakeholders including local Government, donors, INGOs, local organizations and communities an opportunity to learn and strategize about interventions aimed at improving the resilience of urban food systems and address the critical need of sufficient access to nutritious food. This project will undertake research into existing household nutrition practices, regular expenditure on food, including fruit and vegetables to understand the extent of food and micro-nutrient deficiency.
The project will endeavour to demonstrate opportunities for local food production in small urban spaces using waste material. By using organic wastes such as rotten fruit from vegetable markets, cardboard and soil project beneficiaries will learn how to create highly fertile “living soils” that are vital for healthy production of vegetables, herbs and fruits. The project aims to show the better overall value for money of investing in people’s capacity to generate a significant portion of their daily household food expenditures as compared to dependence of food aid or resorting to negative coping mechanisms to survive. By investing in pilots at household level (on rooftops, balconies, etc.) and community spaces the project will generate evidence on the comparative strengths and weaknesses of each approach.
In the context of the Syrian crisis which is leading to rapid densification, and increased social tensions in already vulnerable urban communities in Lebanon, this proposal aims to introduce innovative local food systems that could fill critical gaps in food aid delivery, understand the viability of different systems in the given context, and provide information to the stakeholders that will enable the replication of the best models, and help build economies of scale. Critically, this project will target both poor Lebanese and refugee families for the community gardening component to build mutual trust and community cohesion.

Strengthening a sustainable and innovative social solidarity network in Lebanon for most economically vulnerable Syrian and Lebanese populations
The proposed project was prepared by FPSC in close collaboration with the local partner NGO arcenciel to address the problem of extreme poverty in part of the Syrian Refugee population and to enhance livelihoods of families of the Lebanese host population that are negatively economically impacted by the large influx of Syrian refugees.
To contribute in addressing the issue of poverty and extreme poverty in Lebanon, FPSC has worked in Lebanon in projects related to sustainable social development, health care, and agriculture since 1993 and has successfully conducted project with arcenciel. Arcenciel has worked to build built a social solidarity network for most impoverished persons through its project "boutique sociale" (Social Store) since 1995, which consists of establishment of a procedure and infrastructure to facilitate collection and redistribution of in-kind donations (clothes, accessories, sundries…) to economically vulnerable families and individuals. The donations are sold at extremely low prices to persons in need in arcenciel’s social stores (situated in Greater Beirut, in the Beqaa and in Akkar). The beneficiaries, often ashamed of their precarious living-conditions, can feel they naturally do their shopping, which contributes to maintain their dignity and self-esteem. They also learn to set their priorities and manage their budget. In addition, the social stores provide work possibilities and an income positions and compensations for most vulnerable and affected people (people with disability, refugees, youth in difficulty, women etc...) with no political, social, gender and racial discrimination of any kind, thus facilitating social integration for this vulnerable segment of the population. in order to promote their social inclusion This peer-to-peer approach that involves people in difficulty directly in a project, is a principal policy in both FPSC and arcenciel’s projects, and often transforms an emergency project from mere items provision to a project fostering direct contact between refugee and host population, integration of the latter, and in addition allows for more accurate needs identification and provision of targeted support.and integration is integrated also making use of one of arcenciel’s policies: people in difficulty serving people in difficulty a peer-to-peer approach that often transforms the mere act of items provision to a direct contact and other needs identification and support.
Building on FPSC’s and arcenciel’s extensive experience, the proposed project aims at (1) expanding the network of in-kind donations’ providers and fostering of cooperation with several institutions (schools, municipalities, NGOs, the UN etc…), (2) increasing the current capacity of collecting and distributing donations in social stores, through better infrastructures and managing systems, and (3) provide capacity building and employment for most vulnerable Syrian and Lebanese women, through provision of training and creation of a sewing workshop to repurpose non-reusable clothes and fix the reusable ones. Finally, a sewing workshop will be added to the activities of the social stores, providing trainings and compensation for most vulnerable Syrian and Lebanese women to repurpose non-reusable clothes and fix the reusable ones.
Overall management of the project, donor reporting, monitoring, and accounting will be done by FPSC, implementation of the activities by arcenciel in close collaboration with and under supervision of FPSC.

Strengthening Palestinian Refugees from Syria (PRS) Women's Own Strategies for Protection
In order to respond to the urgent humanitarian needs for Palestinian Women, Men, Boys and Girls Refugees from Syria and their hosting peers in Lebanon. Diakonia and Association Najdeh propose a one year intervention to strengthen Palestinian refugees women's from Syria own strategies for protections through creating safe spaces for knowledge dissemination, identification of risks related to protection and strengthening the ability of these women to pursue their legal and social protection through legal channels holding Lebanese duty bearers and Palestinian authorities in the camps accountable to the international humanitarian norms.
This action is divided into two main components first is grass-root related through direct protection activities addressing victims of violence in need of psychological, social and legal support. The second component is related to the creation of a safe environment with minimized stigma for refugees in general, Syrian in particular with focus on PRSs.
The intervention will be managed with high quality systems ensuring quality management in line with CHS and HAP, coordination, networking and advocacy actions.

Cash Assistance for Severely and Highly Vulnerable Households (CASH)
The " Cash Assistance for Severely and Highly Vulnerable Households" (CASH) project will fill a large gap in urgent need for Syrian refugees and deprived Lebanese living in Bekaa and Beirut and Mount Lebanon (BML) who are severely and highly economically vulnerable, but lack access to essential goods and services of their choice due to lack of financial resources. Since January 2015, when Government of Lebanon (GOL) restrictions explicitly prohibited refugees from employment in addition to the pressures of an overwhelming number of refugees in certain locations, severe strain already limited economic resources for Syrian refugees. This caused many vulnerable families to engage in negative coping mechanisms including incurring debt, minimizing access to vital health and education services, engaging in child labor, prostitution, and forced and/or early marriage among other. The project is designed to contribute to the minimum amount required for a family to survive in Lebanon to meet its basic needs through direct multi-sector cash transfers to identified vulnerable households (HHs), thereby reducing economic stress to extremely vulnerable HHs, and contribute to mitigating vulnerability concerns for women and children. To this end, RI will build on its strong experience providing multi-sector cash assistance (MSCA) to vulnerable Syrian refugees in Bekaa (Zahle,West and Rachayya), and North (T5 and Akkar), and expand its MSCA portfolio to increase its caseload of Syrian refugee HHs in Bekaa, start MSCA for Syrian refugees in BML, and include the most vulnerable Lebanese in Bekaa and BML through the National Poverty Targeting Program (NPTP). Through the proposed project, RI will fill a gap in MSCA provision based on its current database of vulnerable HHs and noted by UNHCR Mount Lebanon Basic Assistance Working Group (BAWG), and identify additional Syrian and Lebanese beneficiaries in Bekaa and BML to receive MSCA based on the results of the HPQ interpreted through the tier of vulnerability assigned to the assessed HH by the Refugee Assistance Information System (RAIS) scoring and previously identified referrals of the most vulnerable Lebanese by NPTPRI will conduct the required amount needed of Interagency Household Profiling Questionnaires (HPQ) and provide MSCA for six months according to the BAWG agreed-upon rate in relation to the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB) to 625 beneficiary HH: 531 HHs scoring the most vulnerable among those assessed by the HPQ and 94 most vulnerable Lebanese HHs identified and referred by the NPTP.

Holistic Protection Services for GBV Survivors
Protection is a critical need area for Gender-based Violence (GBV) survivors in Lebanon. The project builds on programming efforts of Caritas Lebanon to holistically address the diverse protection concerns facing vulnerable refugee populations by bolstering their resiliency. Caritas Lebanon will employ its network of local resources to support two Safe Houses for GBV survivors. Caritas's Rayfoun Safe House has been supporting non-Syrian women and children for over ten years. When the crisis in Syria started in 2011 Caritas started a new shelter in Bhersaf specifically for Syrian refugee women and children to meet the growing need. Safe houses continues to be a major gap recognized by the SGBV Task Force. The project draws on CL's extensive experience to monitor beneficiary progress beyond a one-time intervention to empower vulnerable women and their children to get back on their feet and rebuild their lives. The project endeavors to compliment the objectives and recommendations of the broader Humanitarian Response across Lebanon and assess Caritas Lebanon's capacity in the Protection and Mental Health sector with external and internal monitoring and evaluation efforts to inform and improve future programming to better serve the needs of beneficiaries in line with the Lebanese Crisis Response Plan (LCRP). Finally, this project will fill a critical funding gap for Caritas Lebanon to continue to support its protection mainstreaming efforts in the Safe Houses and Retention Center.

Stronger and Safer: Reducing the Risks and Consequences of SGBV in Northern Lebanon
Heartland Alliance International proposes a 12 month project that reduces the risks and consequences of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) and improves access to quality services for vulnerable women and girls from the Syrian refugee community and Lebanese host community in the north of Lebanon. The project fills gaps in SGBV response identified by HAI and other protection actors, providing crucial information, case management, legal, mental health, and referral services for survivors and those at-risk of SGBV. HAI will reach 10,860 community members, approximately 94% of whom are women and girls and 6% of whom are men and boys, with information about gender, SGBV, and referral pathways. A total of 850 women and girls will benefit from case management services, direct legal aid and representation, and/or mental health services through support group sessions, one-on-one counseling, or psychiatric care. This project expands two existing women’s safe spaces by creating women's support annexes where women and girls can access these services in a woman and child friendly environment. The project will also reduce risks of SGBV by strengthening peer and community networks to promote positive behavior change.
This project has been designed in coordination with protection actors including the SGBV Task Force to respond to urgent needs in SGBV prevention and response for Syrian and Lebanese women and girls. The project specifically responds to the priorities identified under Window 2 of the Lebanon Humanitarian Fund 2nd Standard Allocation, Category 4: Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV). This project also supports the broader goals and objectives of the Lebanon Crisis Response Plan 2016 (LCRP) and meets Protection Cluster objectives related to SGBV. The project comprehensively addresses the following Protection Cluster objective: The risks and consequences of SGBV are reduced and access to quality services is improved. The project's capacity building activities also address the LCRP's Strategic Objective 2: Strengthen the capacity of national and local service delivery systems to expand access to and quality of basic public services.
HAI will partner with two key organizations Akkar Network for Development (AND), and the Lebanese Council to Resist Violence Against Woman (LECORVAW). LECORVAW will implement SGBV protection and legal activities in the T5 region, based in Qalamoon, for the area including Tripoli, Kura, Batroun, Dinnyeh, and Minieh. AND will implement the SGBV case management and protection activities in coastal Akkar, based in Tel Meeyan and active in the coastal area, including Qobet Shurma. These activities include community outreach and education direct legal, case management and psychological services and operation of activity groups. One women's support annex will be established in each location and managed by these two partners, who are already operating women’s safe spaces. HAI has vetted and worked with both implementing partners on previous UNICEF-funded programs, and both partners are compliant with all HAI and UN internal accounting controls and reporting procedures.

Providing Holistic Health Care Support for vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese in Beirut, Mount Lebanon and North Governorates (PHCS Project)
Relief International (RI) proposes the 12-month project “Providing Holistic Health Care Support for vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese in Beirut, Mount Lebanon and North Governorates (PHCS Project)" to improve access to and quality of Primary Health Care (PHC) services for the most vulnerable Syrian refugees and Lebanese. RI’s proposed intervention is built on the sector priorities, gaps, and needs, and several coordination meetings with the sector leads. Through the proposed project, RI will support 11 Primary Health Care Centres (PHCCs) to ensure proper utilization of the primary health care system by informing and educating target populations about services and subsidizing consultation fees.
The Women 2 Women (W2W) outreach will inform, educate and encourage women to attend early Antenatal Care (ANC), utilize Family Planning (FP) methods, and Postnatal Care (PNC) follow-up. Care-givers will also be taught to recognize danger signs related to child health and to bring their children to the PHCC for early preventative care rather than waiting for treatment which may lead to hospitalization and higher out-of-pocket costs. RI will also work with the Ministry of Public Health (MOPH) to promote and facilitate routine vaccination of CU5 at the supported health facilities.
As Reproductive Health (RH) is a main focus of this project, RI will be responsible of providing RH services for women in RI’s supported PHCCs and support the W2W groups in their health concerns while leading focus group discussions.
Access to Mental Health (MH) care has been identified as a gap in available services.
RI will recruit 2 part time Psychologists to support the integration of the National Mental Health GAP (MhGAP) Program into the PHCCs with close coordination with World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Mental Health Department (NMHD) at MOPH. RI’s part time Psychologists will endorse the implementation of the strategy in the selected PHCCs and will be responsible of the supervision of the activities which will include pharmaceuticals requests, patients follow up, reporting, and other technical support as needed. MhGAP implementation will be continually monitored through RI’s MampE department in coordination with the part time Psychologists and shared with the NMHD and WHO to proactively address challenges and gaps.
To further integrate the Mental Health services and W2W outreach, W2W volunteers will be trained to discreetly and sensitively identify and refer survivors of Sexual and Gender Based Violence (SGBV) for medical and psycho-social services. Finally, to enhance awareness about availability of health services provided through MOPH PHCCs and accountability to the beneficiaries, RI will contract a production company to produce audio-visuals segments related to information on health services that can be accessed by all beneficiaries, which will be broadcast in RI’s supported MOPH PHCCs and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) Reception Centres. The content of the videos will be closely coordinated with the Communications Section of UNHCR and in turn the Health Sector before proceeding to production. RI already maintains experience working with a partner organization to produce audio-visual materials that are currently broadcast at the four UNHCR Registration Centres, which were developed through the consultative process with UNHCR Communications Section and relevant Sector Leads. RI will follow the same process to ensure new content related to MOPH PHCC Services and healthy practices is produced and broadcast.

Emergency Clearance of Landmines and Explosive Remnants of War in support of Host and Refugee Communities in Bekaa Area
This project seeks deployment of one Humanitarian Mine Action clearance team to address the urgent protection needs of host and refugee communities in the Bekaa valley. MAG will deploy one fully trained and experienced Multi-Task clearance Team (MTT). The team will work to remove and destroy landmines, cluster munitions and other explosive items which directly pose a threat to Syrian refugees and host populations. The primary objective of the MTT deployed under this proposal will be to clear minefields and cluster munition strikes areas in support of refugee and host community protection in coordination with the Lebanon Mine Action Centre. To support the manual team, MAG will deploy mechanical assets to assist in increasing efficiency of clearance operations. The mechanical assets are useful when working in contaminated areas which are rocky or contain dense vegetation, heavy laterite soils and/or ground contaminated with metallic fragmentation, all of which are common terrain in southern Lebanon.
MAG is the first and only organization in Lebanon that is allowed to conduct clearance activities and deliver Risk Education (RE) in the Bekaa region in support of local and refugee communities. The vulnerability of Syrian men, women and children living near landmine/cluster munition contamination has created an urgent need to provide RE sessions to raise awareness among communities on how to remain safe while living in Lebanon, as well as in Syria should they choose to return home.
One gender balanced, two person, CL team will be deployed to conduct targeted RE sessions to the affected host communities and Syrian refugees. In addition the teams will conduct pre-, mid- and post-clearance Impact Assessment (IA) to targeted communities. They will meet with community focal points and collect sex and age dis-aggregated data about beneficiaries and land use. The phased assessments will provide valuable information on the impact of the clearance activities to help guide the prioritization process in terms of high impact for the communities.

WASH Service improvement: Smart distribution metering and greywater management in ITSs
The Syrian Crisis has crossed into its 5th year since internal conflict broke out in Syria. At this stage, with people living in protracted displacement, Lebanon requires more sustainable and innovative solutions in order to continue to provide the level of service provided to Syrian Refugees and the vulnerable Lebanese host communities. This is required due to the length of people’s displacement, the strain on local resources in Lebanon, the reduction in funding available within the country, and the need for better management systems which are environmentally friendly.
This project therefore aims to reduce the reliance on water trucking and desludging services, which are presently the only way for refugee communities to access clean drinking water and have sanitation services. In order to do this, the project will tackle these issues from two approaches – the first of which involves the training in, and implementation of grey-water management solutions. This will begin to tackle with the excessive amount of grey-water that is being dumped into latrine pits, and waste collection sites, whilst it is possible to reuse much of this waste in agricultural activities or for a second-time use to clear latrines, etc. The second proposed intervention is the improvement of the monitoring in the services already being delivered, adding an extra layer of instrumental monitoring through the implantation of measuring devices as well as positioning and IT systems.

Vector Control in Akkar Syrian informal settlements and Lebanese municipalities
RHAO aims to undertake vector control intervention in Syrian refugee settlements in the Akkar region to fight seasonal insects that are conducive to the transmission of vector-borne diseases. A supplementary portion of the treatments will be applied to the most vulnerable Lebanese towns in Akkar.
The exposure to vector-borne diseases is especially elevated in informal Syrian settlements due to a combination of poor sanitation and the presence of stagnant water around WASH facilities. Cutaneous leishmaniasis, one of such diseases transmitted by the bite of infected sand flies, is endemic in the Akkar region. The best evidence for protecting people against infection is limiting exposure to vectors through preventative measures, which requires a behavioral change most households are unable to practice due to lack of physical resources. RHAO thus aims to provide Syrian settlements with the necessary equipment to eliminate the disease-carrying vectors. RHAO will oversee the application of indoor spraying, rodent poison, traps and insecticide products over a period of two months in the settlements not yet treated by PU-AMI and Concern Worldwide in the Akkar region. The effectiveness of the treatment is guaranteed for 4 months.

Site and household level WASH for Informal Settlements in the Bekaa Valley
Medair will work in Informal Settlements to ensure critical WASH standards are met at the household level. Medair's WASH programming approach includes: provision of WASH hardware (water storage and transportation containers, water filters, latrines), provision of hygiene NFI (hygiene kits, baby kits), contracted WASH services (water trucking, latrine de-sludging) and capacity-building through hygiene promotion and other community training activities such as WASH committee formation and follow-up. Medair will provide comprehensive WASH support to 990 households (HHs), or 4,950 people. The Lebanon Humanitarian Fund (HF) will contribute to part of these activities.

Winter assistance project
“ Water proof plastic sheets for the ISs' housing units”
Most of Syrian refugees, the majority of whom are women and children, have sought shelter in informal settlement's makeshift shelters (tents, caravan) all over Lebanon. The living conditions of the refugees are deteriorating continuously. In total of 70 % live below the poverty line. The key problem faced by these groups is a lack of opportunities to earn a living, which let them unable to improve the conditions of their shelters, even when they were damaged because of the weather factors to protect themselves and especially their children and wives from being more vulnerable to illnesses caused by freezing temperature and water leakage. URDA proposed this project which aims to provide one of the most needed items to mitigate the risks in winter and to protect the refugees in Taalabaya, Al Awdeh ISs in Bar Elias from freezing and falling ill (Plastic cover sheet waterproof for tents and prefabricated shelters "caravans").

Providing improved access to essential goods and services for highly vulnerable populations in hard to reach areas - II
The project “Providing improved access to essential goods and services for highly vulnerable populations in hard to reach areas II” aims at continuing mitigating the existent constraints surrounding access to both food and non-food items/services, and the subsequent negative mechanisms utilised by individuals and families to manage these access constraints. This project will do so by maintaining the provision of direct, Multipurpose Cash transfers allowing people to their basic needs in Aarsal area, where no other Cash method can effectively reach the underprivileged population. This intervention will continue targeting the most severely economically vulnerable Syrian Refugees and extremely poor Lebanese households living in hard to reach areas, where assistance coverage is extremely reduced. The cash support serves as a boost to the purchasing power of people in need, facilitating their access to goods and services available in the markets, those which are not directly accessible for the target populations through the existing cash transfer modalities. This project will also serve as a boost to the local market economies, particularly local vendors that will benefit from direct cash injection in their businesses.
In order to increase transparency, accountability, dignity, speed, security, and monitor impact of aid response, ACF will use the KACHE System (Kit for Autonomous Cash transfer in Humanitarian Emergencies) made of: a) a small number of “terminals” to be deployed at selected vendors offering goods and/or services in the intervention areas (shops, market stalls, health centres, etc.), working on large-duration batteries and not requiring connection to a telecommunication network b) a large number of smart cards to be easily configured at the beginning of the response with beneficiaries personal data and amount of cash to be monthly transferred, and c) a comprehensive monitoring software allowing to track the locations and goods/services purchased by the beneficiaries. With the use of this modality of e-payments ACF will be able to reach remote areas, usually under-served (due to restricted access to agencies and no banks/ATM present in the area) and will allow for closer monitoring of activities and programme impact.
This proposal is a follow up and continuation of an OCHA-funded project, which ended on 31 December 2016. The continuation of the project activities to another 4 months is deemed necessary for allowing the beneficiaries to prepare for the upcoming cold season and winterise their shelters. The beneficiaries will be, as previous years, exposed to adverse weather conditions and essential items will be included in the aid packages to be distributed to beneficiary HHs with specific needs.
The winterisation activities will be focused on two key components: multi-purpose cash and winterisation top-up. The proposal consists on both 3 disbursements of USD175 on a monthly basis for 653 beneficiary HHs (including Syrians and Lebanese) from January to March 2017 and 2,5 disbursements of USD75 on a monthly basis for 555 beneficiary HHs (only Syrians) from January to mid-March 2017 as a winterisation top-up. The disbursements will be followed by a tight monitoring of beneficiaries and vendors using both the Kache platform and household/vendors visits. The full program will allow to develop a capitalisation document considering best practices, lessons learned, and recommendations for future programming. A capitalisation report will be shared with Basic Assistance Working Group members and other stakeholders for an impact assessment of assistance modality.
Due to the particularities of Aarsal area, with high concentration of severely vulnerable households (85%) in an isolated area, and the lack of alternatives cash methodologies, ACF will also use the extension period to advocate for the continuation of the programme in front of other donors for the remaining months of 2017.
