XM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/RA1/CP/INGO/23238United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn response to the high needs and gaps in child protection (CP) risk response and prevention services, the proposed project will ensure the access to holistic and tailored child protection services to 1. street-connected children, 2. children exposed to Gender-Based Violence (GBV), 3. children in need of alternative care and 4. children exposed to other types of risk, such as family separation that have been highly affected by the ongoing multiple humanitarian crises in Lebanon. Under Pillar 1 of the 1. Reserve Allocation 2022, Tdh proposes the intervention consisting of direct response and prevention services for children and their caregivers in collaboration with the local NGO Mouvement Social (MS). MS, a local NGO, is providing multiple services to vulnerable and marginalized population groups through the community center approach, providing education, protection and youth engagement activities. In the proposed project, Tdh provides case management support, including the provision of Emergency Cash Assistance to 300 children and their families, while MS provides focused psychosocial support (FPSS), community-based psychosocial support (CB-PSS), and with the support of Tdh Qudwa initiatives. Capacity building of staff and volunteers and awareness raising on the protection of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), child safeguarding policy (CSP) and accountability to the affected population (AAP) to all community members are highlighted in this project. Following a localization approach and aiming for sustainable solutions, Tdh will capacitate the partner's staff through trainings, re-freshers, monitoring and on-the-job coaching in different topics, including CP and GBV case management, FPSS, CBPSS and Qudwa. Protection from sexual exploitation and abuse, child safeguarding, feedback and complaints and accountability to the affected population will be mainstreamed throughout all training sessions. In the proposed project, Tdh will support the local partner in transforming their four community-centers into "Drop-In Centers", which allow street-connected children to access a safe space where they can rest, wash, eat and - considering the upcoming winter period - warm up, all next to the access to tailored child protection activities. These centers will continue after the end of the project contributing to the localization strategy and the continuation of the intervention. Both partners are experienced in providing children with access to justice, through for example providing children with alternative care solutions. In the proposed proposal, 100 street-connected children, 50 children in need of alternative care, 100 children exposed to GBV, and 50 children exposed to other high risks, such as family separation, and their caregivers/parents are targeted. Within a period of 10 months, the submitted project will directly target 900 beneficiaries in 16 areas of Beirut District, where the largest number of the street connected children has been identified. The objectives of the project are aligned with the ERP Child Protection Sector’s objectives and priorities.

It focuses on ensuring that 3,640 vulnerable and at-risk children residing in the South, and notably in Ein El-Helweh camp, Burj El-Shemali camp, Wasta gathering, Qasmieh gathering and surrounding areas, including survivors, are equipped with the needed tools and support to protect them against the rising incidences of child abuse, child labor, and child violence. It complements the project being supported by UNICEF, but targets different areas and different groups of children, noting the great needs. Moreover, it goes up to the last level of the IASC pyramid and works on two paths. The first path focuses on prevention and is directed towards children who are assessed to fall under medium to high risk. Assessment is done by ARCPA through its field presence and through partners with whom ARCPA works and who often refer cases to it. Interventions provided are focused and structured to ensure impact. Concurrently, 438 caregivers will be involved to ensure a more holistic approach and greater impact. The same path will also work on instilling and encouraging social and behavioral changes after noting the need to work on preconceived ideas and some traditions that are ill-conducive of children’s development in order to promote a safe and friendly environment for them. Tools used will focus on utilizing a bottom-up approach to have better chances at being accepted by the community and to be able to address sensitive topics and break existing stereotypes. The second path focuses on psychological therapy, providing specialized care, noting that recruited psychologists will be members of the Lebanese Order of Psychologists Syndicate (LOPsy). Children will be identified based on the animators’ observation during delivering the Focused PSS sessions as well as through referrals from UNRWA schools, UNRWA clinics, and local NGOs. It is worth noting that out-of-school children identified under this project will also be referred to organizations providing education to support their re-enrollment, especially that ARCPA has always been active in the Back-to-School campaigns implemented by UNICEF.

The project will provide an integrated package of child protection, WASH services and complementary education activities such as winterization kits' distribution in one public school in Ouzai and rehabilitation and adaptation of an education community center, targeting directly 550 of the most vulnerable and at risk children and their caregivers, in addition to their community members, regardless of their nationalities and status. With the ongoing deteriorated situation in Lebanon, the education sector is considered one of the most affected sectors, where families are struggling to register and handle the fees of school year and while the winter season is coming soon which worsen the situation and leave more children with high risks and protection concerns. The proposed intervention will integrate the before-mentioned risks and needs in an holistic approach where most vulnerable children and their caregivers and community members will be provided with a package of customized services fitting their daily needs and enhancing their readiness to the school year and winter seasons. All activities will be implemented by local well trained staff and will be regularly monitored, evaluated and adjusted if needed and PSEA and Protection measures will be maintained and well mainstreamed . Moreover, the project will be implemented at Adnan Halabawi School-Ouzai where the first shift students (550 children) and/or their caregivers and community members will be targeted and provided by: Education: (1) Customized Winterization kit. Child Protection: (2) Non Focused PSS sessions for targeted children (3) Positive Parenting Sessions for targeted caregivers and community members and (4) Community Based Awareness and PSS WASH: (5) Menstrual Hygiene kits for the adolescent girls and their family girls/women members among the targeted students and community members met during the community based PSS activities. The proposed intervention will be closely coordinated with other organizations with similar and different activities working around Ouzai and surrounding areas to avoid any overlaps and maximize the efficiency of the project and to ensure the possibility of referring cases with unmet needs.BorderlessBorderlessLebanon Humanitarian FundMohamad El BakriDirector+961 71 983155mohamad@borderlessngo.org Beatrice El KhouryMEAL and Partnership Officer+961 71 992381impact@borderlessngo.org Mohamad KobtanFinance Officer+961 03 883601finance@borderlessngo.org Mount Lebanon33.83330000 35.53330000EducationProtectionWater, Sanitation and Hygiene65546.01140455.74206001.75Lebanon Humanitarian FundBorderless82400.70Lebanon Humanitarian FundBorderless82400.70Lebanon Humanitarian FundBorderless41200.35Lebanon Humanitarian FundBorderlessXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/RA1/E/NGO/23293United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed intervention will promote access to inclusive educational opportunities for vulnerable Lebanese and refugee children affected by the crisis in Tripoli and Akkar The project will reach 600 boys and girls at-risk of dropping-out from 6 public schools (formal education), identified as having priority needs across Tripoli and Akkar regions, and provide them with retention support, in community centers. 3% of the targeted children will be children with learning difficulties or disabilities. All children attending the program will be provided with winterization support (warm clothes) and community centers will be provided with supplies (ie: heaters, minor rehabilitation of classrooms. Teachers implementing the program will be provided with training for program quality and parents of enrolled children will receive awareness sessions. The intervention will also provide winterization supplies to 360 vulnerable children in complementing non-formal programs in the same regions. The intervention will also aim at support and provide 300 vulnerable adolescent Lebanese, Syrian amp migrant girls enrolled in retention support program, with access to Dignity Kits and menstrual hygiene pads to minimize school absenteeism. . The project will follow the below main components: - Output 1.1 - Vulnerable Lebanese, Syrian amp migrant children at risk of dropping out of formal school and their families in Tripoli and Akkar will benefit from face-to-face retention support to enable their access and retention in education -Output 1.2 - Vulnerable Lebanese, Syrian amp migrant children at risk of dropping out of Ana Aqra CBECE (ages4-6) and BLN (ages 10-14) non-formal education programs, in Tripoli and Akkar will benefit from winterization support to enable their access and retention in learning and enhance their future transition to formal education. Ana Aqra is an established partner in non-formal education and therefore has considerable experience in implementing proposed interventions including technical components, knowhow and expertise in PSS, in addition to referral of vulnerable and at-risk children, in public schools, community centers and remote implementations. Ana Aqra has a long record working successfully responding to the needs of refugee and host community children, their teachers and families. As well, Ana Aqra has a well-established track record implementing in Akkar as the selected community, especially under the Qitabi project, which will contribute to the efficacy of the intervention. Our approach aims to eradicate drop-out rates, which will contribute to building the capacity of vulnerable children and their parents, to cope with conflict through education.Ana AqraAna AqraLebanon Humanitarian FundNayla HalabiProgram Manager03-449437nhalabi@ana-aqra.orgRoa Al ChamiFinance Manager03-462672rchami@ana-aqra.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000North34.43330000 35.85000000Education79433.07233141.22312574.29Lebanon Humanitarian FundAna Aqra93772.28Lebanon Humanitarian FundAna Aqra93772.29Lebanon Humanitarian FundAna Aqra125029.72Lebanon Humanitarian FundAna Aqra29935.37Ana AqraUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/RA1/E/NGO/23360United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe recent two years have been extremely challenging in Lebanon on all residents. With the school year and the winter season approaching, the exacerbating socio-economic crisis is having its repercussions on refugee families’ abilities to send their children well-prepared back to school. The situation becomes more aggravated as we move away from central Lebanon where poverty incidence becomes more acute and support to protect young children with proper attire to face the winter season a necessity. Noting that kindergartens inside Palestinian refugee camps are completely run by NGOs since they fall outside UNRWA’s mandate, it is expected that they will face resources challenges to purchase fuel for heating. This will place children who are not properly attired for the harsh weather at risk of facing health challenges that will impede their ability to continue their education. Concurrently, families in camps are challenged by maintaining their day-to-day basic needs, forcing caregivers to prioritize food over clothes. This reality drove Taawon (Welfare Association) to partner up with two well-established NGOs (Women’s Programs Association - WPA and National Institute for Social Care and Vocational Training, commonly known as Beit Atfal Assumoud - BAS) in Beddawi and Nahr El-Bared camps to provide winterization support (Blanket distribution) to all 3,400 enrolled marginalized children (including children with disabilities). This project run in link with the Preschool Education Program run since 2016 ( offering Community Based Reschooling).

At the beginning of the programme, AFA will hold an outreach activity to target the most vulnerable children who will participate in the program’s different Pathways and sectors, on top of that AFA through different community engagement initiatives and awareness sessions will make sure to fill in the vulnerability criteria checklist to be able to refer Out of School Children to Formal education, non-formal education, protection or any other needed services, . Aiming to retain in school children from dropping out, AFA will implement retention support program targeting 1000 children (60% Lebanese, 30% Syrian refugee and 10% migrant/ Palestinian or other nationalities), AFA expended throughout the years to cover both Akkar and T5 Area. Under this component, beneficiaries will be divided between Tripoli (80%) and Minnieh-Dinnieh (20%), In school children from grade 1 to 6 who are at risk of dropping out or due to their poor academic performance and achievement results will get interactive learning support for 6 months in all major subjects of the Lebanese curriculum (Arabic, Foreign language, Math, Science, Social and emotional learning sessions). In addition, our beneficiaries will benefit from winterization kit, supporting them during the cold weather through supplies or clothes. The proposed educational program will also support 25 children with disabilities (50% of total children with disabilities) through 16 therapy sessions each, in addition AFA will procure assistive devices such as hearing aids, wheel chairs, walkers to cases in need in an aim to facilitate their access and retention in education. The programme focuses on both girls, boys and women from Syrian and Lebanese backgrounds that reside in marginalized areas in North. Moreover, children of refugee and vulnerable Lebanese backgrounds still experience physical violence, abuse and child labor that contributes with the need of case management ,Focus PsychoSocial Support and community based Psychosocial Support activities. AFA will implement case management, for 150 cases of children involved in child labor and street connected children in Akkar, Tripoli, Minnieh-Dinnieh, Zgharta and El-Koura. Moreover, AFA will conduct Community Based PsychoSocial Support to low and medium case children at risk of child Labor, early marriage, or any other type of risks, this target will be divided to two age groups, 100 Children aged (6-11) and 100 children aged (12-17), in addition to 200 Medium to high-risk Cases benefiting from Focussed PsychoSocial Support sessions, including Focus actions on meeting the immediate identified needs of the child and the services they are willing to accept and provide information on other services or supports that are available to meet their needs. To establish the purpose of Multi-sectoral programs and to provide a holistic approach to all the family, 400 caregivers will participate in positive parenting and focus psychosocial support sessions to provide children’s caregivers the best methodologies and parenting skills to deal with their children and protect them from any possible risks and harm. Moreover, AFA team will implement several community-initiatives related to Qudwa toolbox, which engages the community for the aim of finding solutions and raise awareness on the Violence Against Children, Child Protection, Violence Against Women, Child Labor.Al Fayhaa AssociationAl Fayhaa AssociationLebanon Humanitarian FundAyman el DoussoukiPresident03669197ayman.eldoussouki@al-fayhaa.orgIbrahim AbdelhayProgram Manager70069541ibrahim.abdelhay@al-fayhaa.orgRayan AbdelhamidFinance Manager70471761rayan.abdelhamid@al-fayhaa.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000North34.43330000 35.85000000EducationProtection144048.39364797.87508846.26Lebanon Humanitarian FundAl Fayhaa Association203538.50Lebanon Humanitarian FundAl Fayhaa Association152653.88Lebanon Humanitarian FundAl Fayhaa Association152653.88Lebanon Humanitarian FundAl Fayhaa AssociationXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/RA1/E-W/INGO/23317United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed action is an urgent multi-sectoral intervention that addresses seasonal needs and water supply services gaps in the underserved governorate of Akkar. By enhancing the public water system of the municipality of Mhamra (Akkar) and securing winterization of Mhamra Mixed Public School, the project proposal is contributing to the objectives set by the WASH and Education sectors as stated in the ERP, LCRP and in the priorities identified by the sectors within this Allocation. Additionally, by aligning with the 3RF the intervention is contributing to enhance public services and infrastructures. The proposal is needs-based and designed upon specific needs assessments carried out by ARCS staff since 2021 with the municipality of Mhamra. It has also been drafted in coordination with the WASH and Education sectors, the mayor of the municipality and the school staff, and by consulting local partners active in the area in order to secure synergies during the project implementation. On one hand (WASH), the project will solarize three water pumping stations of the municipality, which will guarantee access to water to 18.000 inhabitants of the municipality (8.000 host communities, 9.000 Syrians, 1.000 Palestinians). In addition, one out of the three wells will be provided with a filter connected to one water exit accessible to all communities. The water pumped from the municipality wells will also reach Mhamra Mixed Public School, whose hydraulic system will benefit from minor rehabilitation and solar pumping energy: 2.000 children that are expected to attend Mhamra Mixed Public School between 2022 and 2023 (first and second shift) will have access to water guaranteed inside the school. By meeting the WASH gaps in Mhamra, the proposed outcome contributes to the objectives identified by the sector. On the other hand (Education), the project will further support the school and children of Mhamra for the seasonal preparedness by providing warm clothes needed by children attending both the first and second shift, equipping the classrooms with heaters and procuring the needed fuel for their functioning during the winter months. The proposed actions will have positive cascading effects on the health and hygiene (including COVID-19 prevention) of the communities of Mhamra, who have suffered prolonged scarcity of basic water needs adding to this, the intervention has a strong conflict-sensitivity approach: inter- and intra-community tensions will be alleviated as the provision of water will positively affect all populations (host communities, syrians, palestinians and migrants) finally, through solarization, the project has a positive environmental effect and guarantees more sustainability in the long term.Arci Culture SolidaliArci Culture SolidaliLebanon Humanitarian FundLeonardo SartoriProject Manager+961 81 961 776sartori@arcsculturesolidali.orgRaffaella BiondoRegional Coordinator+39 3479840732biondo@arcsculturesolidali.orgWinta Zewde TeferraFinance Manager+96176622520 zewde@arcsculturesolidali.orgNorth34.43330000 35.85000000EducationWater, Sanitation and Hygiene104145.81207147.15311292.96Lebanon Humanitarian FundArci Culture Solidali155646.48Lebanon Humanitarian FundArci Culture Solidali155646.48Lebanon Humanitarian FundArci Culture SolidaliXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/RA1/E-W/INGO/23364United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe proposed action will address barriers to access Education and Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for the most vulnerable children (host communities and refugees) and public schools in Halba and Amayer in Akkar, Lebanon. Halba and Amayer (including Wadi Khaled) are among the most impoverished areas in Akkar. Due to their critical locations bordering Syria, many refugees have sought refuge there. The majority of the population lives under the poverty line or is extremely poor, with very limited employment opportunities. Under this action, World Vision International in Lebanon (WVL) and its local sub-partner Hadatha, will provide the most vulnerable children and their families with several services including education retention support, cash for education and menstrual hygiene promotion in schools. The planned activities address emergent education, hygiene and sanitation barriers to ensure that children are retained in education and are provided with access to appropriate hygiene practices. As such, the project responds directly to Allocation Strategic Pillar 1 under the 2022 First Reserve Allocation, leveraging on WVL and Hadatha’s existing presence within Akkar. Planned activities have been developed in close coordination with the WASH and Education sectors. The proposed activities will directly benefit a total of 800 vulnerable children (424 Girls, 376 boys) including 47 children with disabilities (CWDs) with retention programs (3% of total target). This will address the gaps in supporting schools in the targeted areas with the highest number of dropouts/highest number of learners at risk of dropping out. WVL has been working closely with the education sector to and has identified 12 preliminary schools in Halba and Amayer (including Wadi Khaled). The selection will be among those schools based on recommendations from the sector and the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) after the beginning of the scholastic year. Parents are finding it increasingly difficult to send or keep their children in school due to a steep rise in tuition rates and high transportation cost. As such, WVL and Hadatha will provide 760 students with cash for education. WVL has 5 years of experience in implementing cash for education under UNICEF whereby all data collection, assessment tools and identification of beneficiaries and beneficiary mobilization was developed by WVL, and in turn UNICEF conducted the cash transfers to beneficiaries. Moreover, WVL is WFP’s largest implementing partner in the Bekaa and Akkar under in-kind assistance with a case load of more than 27,000 households (HHs) per month. To increase access to appropriate hygiene, this action will also target the same vulnerable students (including others that may be referred) aged between 12 and 18 years old with awareness messaging on proper menstrual hygiene behaviors and distribute 400 menstrual hygiene pads to female students. Under education, the selection criteria for retention programs will be children already enrolled in public schools who are falling behind in their academic performance/are at risk of drop out. WVL will identify and select the schools in the most vulnerable areas of intervention, and provide students with cash for education to both prevent/address drop-outs and support retention (this is to avoid any overlap/duplication with UNICEF). Under WASH, the same beneficiaries receiving support through the education program will also receive menstrual hygiene pads and awareness sessions. WVL and Hadatha will closely coordinate with local stakeholders, actors, municipalities and other actors working in Halba and Amayer to avoid any duplication or overlap and to achieve complementarity in intervention. This includes WASH and Education sectors including Relief International and UNICEF.

Common scenarios encountered by IOM case workers include trafficking, labour exploitation and abuse, homelessness, food insecurity, and little to no income. From identification to cases in need of return assistance, throughout the case management process and up until their return, IOM in partnership with Amel, an independent nonprofit, non-confessional Lebanese organization, will provide the necessary assistance to returnees, to cover their basic welfare needs during the pre-departure phase, which could be prolonged due to administrative delays. Finally, the project will strengthen the capacity of representatives from migrant-led community  based NGOs and Embassies’ to assist migrants from their communities in high distress.

More specifically, through this project Medair aims to: - Improve the living conditions and accessibility for 211 households via upgrading of residential shelter to meet minimum standards (prioritizing families with Child Protection (CP) needs in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel - Increase tenure security for 200 vulnerable households via providing cash for rent (prioritizing families with CP needs) to prevent eviction in West and Central Bekaa - Improve accessibility and safety for families living in 30 informal settlements in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel selected on the scoring from the site improvement assessment conducted across the region in coordination with the shelter sector with the intention of needs prioritization, and in 13 informal settlements in North Lebanon with the highest priority for site improvements activities identified and shared by North Lebanon Shelter Sector coordinator. Medair will distribute Non-Food Items (NFI) kits to 60% of the households (eligibility to be established via assessments) who will benefit from the rehabilitation of their sub-standard residential units in Bekaa and Baalbek – El Hermel to be able to cope better with the harsh winter conditions in the targeted area as recommended by Bekaa basic assistance sector. In addition, in line with shelter sector standards, Medair will address potential and identified fire risks by providing fire extinguishers in informal settlements (consisting off 4 to 9 tents) on a rate of ¼ as per sector guidelines and in sub-standard residential buildings that will benefit from rehabilitation, or refill the existing ones in informal settlements (consisting of 10 tents and above (provided by Medair as part of other interventions, or via another organization). For this project, Medair is in a strong position to be able to address the identified needs and gaps, combining existing expertise and experience of providing shelter support, with the ability to build on established relationships, knowledge of the geographic area, and good connections with local NGOs. Medair will extend the area of intervention for cash for rent assistance to west and central Bekaa to complement the ongoing Medair cash for rent project funded by LHF (LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/S/INGO/22023), as the existing assessment tools will be used to identify the eligible households. Also, Medair will report the shelter activities on RAIS and ActivityInfo, in addition to the close coordination with shelter sector and active shelter partners in Medair area of interventions to avoid any overlapping in providing shelter assistance. Medair will also leverage its experience as one of the largest Shelter actors in the Bekaa, and utilize the already established good working relationships with UNHCR, other local and international NGOs, and other stakeholders. As a Shelter Core Group member of the National Shelter Working Group, Medair will ensure complementarity with other interventions and avoid duplication.

The project foresees an intervention to meet urgent and unmet WASH needs in six vulnerable cadasters in Nabatiyeh district where 16,400 people live (13,285 host community members, 2,952 Syrians, and 164 PRL and PRS), 23 schools operate (8,244 students and 1,302 teachers and staff), map of project gateways is available in Annex_07. In total, 9,600 direct and 7,800 indirect beneficiaries will be targeted by the intervention. The proposal is based on a rapid needs assessment in addition to technical and morphological specifications provided directly by SLWE to AVSI. Output 1.1: The most vulnerable in hosting and displaced communities have access to sufficient quantity of quality, reliable and equitable water The proposed intervention, on the Habboush (Chreifeh) and Harouf (Sekran) pumping stations, consists of the installation of a 138.6 KWp and 130.9 KWp PV solar systems respectively, in line with the standards set by the SLWE (see Annex_01 and Annex_06). The Municipalities of Habboush and Harouf secured public lands to SLWE for solar system installation (real estate statements in Annex _04 and consent letters in Annex_02). AVSI discussed and agreed on the proposed intervention with representatives of the South Lebanon Water Establishment (SLWE) responsible of Nabatiyeh and South Governorates, and with Habboush and Harouf Municipalities. Output 1.2.: Vulnerable girls in hosting and displaced communities have access to critical hygiene items and awareness The provision of reusable sanitary pads is an economically sustainable alternative that decrease the use of non-sanitary alternatives potentially dangerous for females’ health. AVSI will distribute menstrual hygiene Kits to adolescent girls and women in reproductive age in the targeted cadasters. In consultation with the GBV sector and in line with the guidelines of UNFPA, the kit is designed to ensure the use of key hygienic products. A total of 1000 females (4% PWD) will benefit from two rounds of distribution. In synergy with ACTED, RoofampRoots initiative and others, AVSI will provide reusable pads produced locally by vulnerable women. This will contribute to create a sustainable and inclusive distribution network for menstrual hygiene products and empower women involved. The kit distributions will be also combined with interactive awareness activities on the prevention of SGBV, PSEA, Hygiene, menstrual health and the best use of water. These activities will take place in women safe spaces in collaboration with Primary Health Care centers, schools, NFE and social community centers, through the support of medical experts to disseminate truthful information that safeguards health. Moreover, and under this component, AVSI will make links with AVSI Education projects in the area and will coordinate with Child Protection actors to improve school readiness and support case management interventions.

Based on recent needs assessments, secondary data and Oxfam’s track record, and in line with the priorities of the LHF 1st Reserve Allocation, the ERP and the WASH Sector, Oxfam is proposing a 10-month project in Minnieh-Donnieh and Chouf Districts aimed at addressing urgent water and sanitation needs of 16,147 vulnerable women, men, girls, and boys living in Bakhaoun and Harf Es Siyad in Minnieh-Donnieh and Daraiya in Chouf, as follows: 1. Upgrading 2 water pumps with solar systems in Bakhaoun and Harf Es Siyad (Donnieh) and Daraiya (Chouf) 2. Upgrading 2 chlorination stations to solarized operated chlorination system in Bakhaoun 3. Two round distribution of Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) kit in schools, and Menstrual Hygiene Management kit for girls with specific needs (MHM+ kit)  and one round of re-usable pads for both girls in public schools and adult women in their households in the three target locations. 4. Temporary provision of fuel to the pumping stations of Haqlit and Daraiya The proposed project intends to respond to the LHF 2022 1st Reserve Allocation Priority 1: Addressing urgent unmet sectoral and multi-sectoral needs and gaps, including through enhancing seasonal preparedness (school year and winterization) in areas with the highest severity of needs for all population groups, specifically in the WASH sector. In line with the ERP Strategic Objective 1, the intervention will provide essential short-term support to most vulnerable people affected by the economic crisis for them to meet their critical needs in terms of water. Finally, it will support the provision of water through regional and local water systems and contribute to scaling up the distributions of customised hygiene kits, with a special attention to women, girls and people with disabilities, thus aligning with the WASH sector revised response.

Additionally, the country suffers from extreme power outages interrupting water supply, and drinking water provision, causing additional burdens for vulnerable populations. Lebanese in host communities and Syrian refugees are suffering from lack of basic services. Although Lebanon is known for abundant water resources, yet without the implementation of strategies to conserve and protect them, it remains one of the most water-threatened across Arab countries. Moreover, North Lebanon and Bekaa Water Establishments have been hit by the financial crisis, losing employees, and lacking the necessary funds to implement critical repairs. The fuel shortage and energy crisis in the country, and the subsequent increase in fuel prices, rendered the public water systems inactive. Villages and cities across Lebanon only receive 1 or 2 hours of electricity per day, having to heavily rely on private generators for power. More specifically, the North Lebanon and Bekaa Water Establishment (NLWE amp BWE) have generators in some pumping stations under their jurisdiction, but the lack of funding to procure fuel for these stations has caused a critical water shortage in both areas. Last year, both Establishments received aid from external organizations in the form of fuel, which allowed them to run their pumping stations, however, this temporary solution was just a band-aid. Additionally, the low level of fuel provision for generators, and the need to run the generators for the longest possible times, has caused many of them to break down, as they are being run after reaching critically low fuel levels in the tanks, further exasperating the problem. The proposed intervention aims to improve access to safe domestic and drinking water through the provision of an environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy source to water-deprived areas, and through the rehabilitation of existing boreholes. The proposed intervention targets nine areas in Akkar, namely Amaret Baykat, Aidamoun, Qenieh , Mounse, Aarqa, Cheikh Mohammad, Chir Hmairine, Halba, Mqaiteaa, and two areas in Baalbeck being Britel and Douris restoring access to basic services that have been lost or damaged due to the protracted and interconnected political, financial, and humanitarian crises, thus reducing the risk of morbidity and mortality, and existing social tensions associated with limited access to water. The target localities include schools (Baalbeck-Hermel: 2 in Douris and 2 in Britel Akkar: 2 in Aamaret El Baykat, 4 in Aidamoun, 2 in Qenieh and 1 in Mouse), therefore the response also reinforces access to school for school aged children. In Akkar, the response includes the provision of fuel for a generator operating the water source of Amaret Baykat, as a temporary measure until the energy source is installed and operational. SI, will ensure “Do No Harm” and “Accountability to Affected Populations” concepts are well considered in all phases of the project cycle, through deep assessment of needs, conflict sensitivity and having a well-established and operated feedback and complaint mechanism in place, The intervention will target 56,151 beneficiaries, of which 50% are children, 52% are females, and 11% are People with Special needs.

Beshtayel, Mrah El Sraj, and Bet Zod are three localities with 360 households and three public schools for 900 students. The localities with their schools were being provided water from one borehole and one pumping station that are managed by the North Lebanon Water Establishment (NLWE). With the fuel price increase, the NLWE has stopped the water pumping and hence the water service provision for these localities since the beginning of June 2022. Consequently, LebRelief wishes to install a solar system on an available area owned by the NLWE to feed the pumping station and provide water to 1600 residents subscribed with the water establishment and three public schools.

Lebanon, a country that suffers from the devastating impacts of compounded strenuous crises, including an extensive depreciation of the Lebanese pound and extreme power cuts interrupting water supply and drinking water provision, constitutes a fertile ground for the endemic to spread and put the lives of vulnerable populations at significant risk. Since the detection of the first cholera cases in Akkar, SI has activated its emergency response process based on CATI (Case Area Targeted Intervention) approach to respond to the surge of the disease and mobilize its teams to address the needs of affected refugees, host communities, and primary health care centres, in close coordination with relevant actors and through active participation in the coordination fora. In this proposed seven-month intervention, Solidarités International (SI) aims to respond to the needs of affected populations and contribute to the prevention and reduction of rapidly spreading cholera in high-risk areas and vulnerable communities, through holistic community-based WASH interventions in Akkar and North Lebanon, targeting 13,171 individuals living in Informal Tented Settlements (ITSs). Sub-Standard Buildings (SSBs), Collective Shelters (CSs), and residential units, as needed. The project’s activities will ensure the deployment of multidisciplinary Rapid Response Teams (RRT) in affected areas, within 24 hours from the alert on confirmed or suspected cases, water testing in sites with existing water sources, chlorinated water trucking in sites with limited access to safe water, provision of water filters, emergency desludging, and the distribution of hygiene and disinfection kits. Additionally, SI will also conduct disinfection, cleaning, and sensitization campaigns in the areas with identified or suspected cases of cholera or at high risk of cholera contamination. It will also implement emergency repairs in ITSs, CSs, SSBs, and at the communal level. Cholera awareness messages will also be broadcasted via SI’s WhatsApp Bot. SI will make sure “Do No Harm: and “Accountability to Affected Populations” concepts are well considered in different phases of the project, through a well-established and operated feedback and complaints mechanism in place. The proposed intervention will be complemented through longer-term approaches implemented by SI in the same area through other funding sources aiming to reinforce access to and sustainability of WASH services for Syrian and Lebanese communities.

The proposed WASH project will seek to eliminate cholera transmission through the implementation of: a) case-area targeted intervention approach (CATI) or case-cluster targeted intervention approach (CCTI) to be deployed after 48 hours after a cholera case has been identified and b) preventive measures to ensure water safety in high-risk areas. SC will implement the proposed intervention in areas of Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Central Beqaa, and SC partner SAWA Group will implement in West Beqaa. Supported communities will be Syrian, Lebanese, Palestinians living in 5 Palestinian Refugee camps and gatherings (Naameh 001 – Gaza Buidling Beirut 001 – Said Ghawash Beirut 003 – Daouk Beirut 001 – Burj el Barajneh camp)as well as Informal tented settlements and residential households. All of the previously mentioned localities are part of the 3Ws of the WASH working group and WASH in Schools task force and assigned under SC geographical area of coverage. An expected total of 300,000 individuals will be supported through this project. Based on the Health sector guidance and the number reflected in the allocation paper, SC expects a 1% attack rate for a total population of 300,000 individuals with a total of 3,000 cases to be responded for as part of the CATI/CCTI approach. The attack rate is calculated based on MOPH and WHO projection in the Cholera National response plan. The two key epidemiologic indicators used during a cholera outbreak are the attack rate and the case fatality ratio or rate. These indicators are standard measures of epidemic intensity and impact. They allow for comparisons between different locations and previous outbreaks. The attack rate (AR) is the cumulative incidence of cholera since the start of the outbreak. SC and SAWA Group are going to follow the sector area-based targeting response through the implementation of the Case Area Targeted Interventions (CATI) with minor contextual adaptations. SC and SAWA Group will receive referrals from the RDMS platform, within a period of 24 to 48hrs, Rapid Response Teams will visit the suspected cases and provide the proper cholera kits, awareness and conduct the right intervention from water cleaning and chlorination. Following this, SC will close the case to reflect an accurate number of active cases that still require support. SC and SAWA will also implement preventative measures to ensure safe water at communal level through the support of Water Establishments, municipalities and public schools in monitoring quality by providing pool tester, tool usage training session and chlorine for water establishment, communal/municipal water sources and public schools, in addition to provision of Fuel for Pumping stations, water amp wastewater treatment plants. Furthermore, SC will implement decentralized water treatment solution such as UV sterilizers, dozing pumps that will be identified based on a needs/solution assessment.

ACF will provide assistance to all populations regardless of status, intervene in all types of settings (urban areas, ITS, CS, or rural areas) and tailor its response based on WASH needs. ACF will cover the following geographical areas: - Baalbeck (including Aarsal, Qaa, Deir el Ahmar and Labwe clusters), - Hermel, and - Saida (Clusters 6, 7, and 8). Specifically, ACF will implement 1) Case-area targeted intervention approach (CATI) or case-cluster targeted intervention approach (CATI), and 2) Preventive measures to ensure water safety in high-risk areas through different modalities. The CATI approach is to provide affected populations with enough water, sanitation services, and hygiene items for a minimum period of 2 weeks to face a cholera outbreak. As a first step, ACF will ensure access to safe chlorinated water for two weeks for at-risk populations where a confirmed or suspected cholera case is identified. In ITS and CS, all households (HH) will be targeted. In Lebanese host communities, all HHs between a 50 to 100 meters radius from the affected HH that do not have access to safe water will be targeted (estimated: 20 - 30 HH). ACF will also provide desludging services to cholera affected or suspected households and its surrounding areas. The desludging services will only be used for decentralized systems that are not connected to the public wastewater systems, mainly in ITSs and Collective Shelters, but also in Lebanese communities using septic tanks (decentralized systems). Most ITSs in Lebanon are already covered by WASH partners working with UNICEF, however in the eventuality that a particular ITS is not covered (as it is the case in South), ACF will provide desludging services for the whole ITS for 2 weeks. ACF’s field officers will carry out Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) activities, by providing awareness sessions on the prevention and treatment of Cholera. The sessions will target households with confirmed or suspected cases, as well as surrounding households. Community-based awareness sessions provided by ACF’s field officers will be complemented by the provision of a hygiene kit (HK) with items designed to help prevent and treat Cholera. ACF will disinfect main areas of cholera hotspots (latrines, excreta and vomits, garbage dumping sites). The disinfection will be conducted outdoors in the surrounding areas where cholera cases are detected, with a 2% chlorine solution. Beyond the CATI approach, ACF will work closely with public institutions to ensure water delivered through the public network is chlorinated and safe to drink. ACF will coordinate with UNICEF to support Water Establishments and municipalities with the provision of chlorine to sterilize water and the reduce risk of waterborne diseases, wherever not already supported by UNICEF. ACF will also support public institutions, such as schools and public health centers (PHC) to increase water safety delivered to students and patients, manly through: maintenance of water filters, provision of clean water tanks, and chlorine donation. Finally, ACF will also train private water truckers, in Coordination with LRC, on cleaning and disinfection of storage and distribution water tanks, as well as chlorination. ACF will also target high-risk and hard-to-reach areas in Qaa-Hermel with water treatment systems both at household and community level. The presence of high levels of water contamination in the wells around Qaa-Hermel (around 70% of the agricultural wells are bacteriologically contaminated) and the lack of minimal sanitation conditions in some of the sites, are the perfect combination for a cholera outbreak in the area.

Trócaire will facilitate the PCAS processes using a series of evidence-based capacity self-assessment checklists. These tools have been developed by Trócaire and used in global programmes as a structured and participatory approach to capacity strengthening. Once the PCAS has been finalised, Trócaire will support the local organisation to develop an Organisational Improvement Plan for in line with organisational priorities and identified gaps. As part of this project, Trócaire will support and accompany partners during the implementation of the individual OIP. Emergency Response and Preparedness(A9) Trócaire’s partners have responded to a number of emergencies over the past years (i.e Beirut Blast, harsh weather conditions, internal displacement). Trócaire’s approach to EPP is to support organisational preparedness through shared analysis and joint planning. Participatory workshops will be organized and partners will be supported to identify likely threats in a given context. The process builds on the PCAS results and partners will develop action plans to address gaps, strengthen weaknesses and put the necessary systems and processes in place to improve the overall organisational readiness and response capacity. Evidence Based Programming(A10) Drawing on their experiences, Trócaire’s partners have prioritised evidence-based programming as a key area of capacity development. Partners will be trained on Results Based Management (RBM) as a key to evidence-based programming. The project will also rollout Need Assessment Training based on Trócaire’s pack. Following the completion of the trainings accompaniment and coaching will be provided by Trócaire’s and partners are expected to have an enhanced capacity in designing evidence-based programs. Trócaire will provide continuous shadowing our other project with the partners and beyond the project timeline. Safe Programming (A11) Trócaire’s Safe Programming course incorporates the eight modules: analysis, targeting and diversity of needs, information sharing, community engagement, feedback and complaint handlining, staff conduct, mapping and referrals, coordination and advocacy. This is in addition to incorporating key elements of accountability to affected people (in line with the CHS), as well as establishing and improving mechanisms to prevent, detect and manage complaints, especially reports related to Sexual Exploitation and Abuse(A12). Trócaire will deliver safe programming training to partners that will be tailored based on the assessments. This training will help the partners to ensure safe, accountable, and inclusive programmes taking into account the standards in protection human rights gender equality, diversity and inclusion. After the training and with the support and mentoring of Trócaire, partners will develop and implement action plans based on Trócaire safe programming framework. Fundraising and Grants Management(A13) This project is an opportunity to promote localisation and to further capacitate local organisations to apply for donor funding. The goal is to strengthen Trócaire's partner fundraising capacity and sustainability prospects. The specific outcomes will result in having partner local organisations trained and effectively manage a diverse funding base for their humanitarian activities. Trócaire will offer a joint training on fundraising and donor engagement strategies. This will be implemented by a technical consultant, who will then work with partners on developing a fundraising strategy. Further training will focus on grant management and will utilise Trócaire’s GM training adapted to partner needs.TrócaireTrócaireAssociation Nabad for DevelopmentBasmeh and ZeitoneehRDFLSawa for Development and Aid LebanonWomen NowLebanon Humanitarian FundPatricia HakmehBusiness Development Grants Manager00961 70704420patricia.hakmeh@trocaire.orgNiall O'KeeffeHead of FCAS Protfolio00353 879176294Niall.OKeeffe@trocaire.orgEzzat SaadProgramme Finance Manager00961 81 075 763ezzat.saad@trocaire.org Beirut33.88690000 35.51310000Coordination and Support Services68694.1295358.28164052.40Lebanon Humanitarian FundTrócaire65620.96Lebanon Humanitarian FundTrócaire65620.96Lebanon Humanitarian FundTrócaire14147.02Lebanon Humanitarian FundTrócaireXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/COO/INGO/21939United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSmaller CSOs are de facto first responders. However, they are too often left out of the institutional international funding streams, or contracted by international organisations as mere service providers, without being given the opportunity to develop a more accountable, evidence-based and inclusive response through additional capacity development. In response to that, the proposed programme focused on strengthening humanitarian response of the local grassroots actors based in Baalbek and one other location to be identified and it endeavors to promote an innovative approach to inclusive localization, based on the role of well-established partners with long-term operational presence and acceptance in specific responsibilities, thematic, and/or the three aforementioned locations in need. The project’s strategy thus proposes to be inclusive of smaller and medium-size CSOs to include them in the localization process, by leveraging partners’ existing well-respected leadership and mentorship roles, following a ‘bigger brother’ approach which will be sustained beyond the end of the project, based on their long term presence and civil society leadership role in the target districts. In addition to their technical expertise, they will be able to mobilize their network and local knowledge to ensure inclusion, acceptance and relevance. Since it was established in 1998, LOST has gained very strong local acceptance, leadership and recognition in Baalbek from its farmer field school and community farm programmes, that transitioned into agri-business development paralleled with humanitarian aid and supporting governance through local civil society initiatives. ACTED brings extensive consortium management experience, as well as globally-recognised capacity in accountability to affected populations, and a dedicated well-established MampE unit.Agency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentLebanese Organization for Studies and TrainingsLive Love LebanonPartner to be identifiedLebanon Humanitarian FundGaetane WicquartCountry Director+961 79 303 426gaetane.wicquart@acted.orgJudyta NedzaProject Development Manager+961 79 303 409judyta.nedza@acted.orgLeila ChauchatCountry Finance Manager+961 79 300835leila.chauchat@acted.orgBaalbek El Hermel34.39803800 36.38734200Beirut33.88690000 35.51310000South33.55000000 35.38330000Coordination and Support Services187330.88261277.27448608.15Lebanon Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development179443.26Lebanon Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development269164.89Lebanon Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/COO/INGO/21953United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLebanon is currently facing a protracted economic and political crisis characterized by an acute economic contraction. This has resulted in the sharp decline of household purchasing power and increasing poverty rates across population groups. In addition, the economic crisis has contributed to a gradual breakdown of public services such as health care, water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH), and education, further worsened by the fuel crisis. To meet the evolving information needs of the humanitarian community - including NGOs, Information Management and assessment actors, government agencies, and local organisations, REACH (an inter-agency initiative between ACTED, IMPACT Initiatives and UNOSAT), in collaboration with UN OCHA and through the mandate of the UN Humanitarian Country Team (HCT), proposes to conduct a Multi-Sector Needs Assessment (MSNA) with funding from OCHA, DG-ECHO and BHA. Building upon the 2021 MSNA, the proposed assessment will consist of a multi-sectoral household (HH) survey nationwide, and is expected to include key sectors such as shelter, education, food security and livelihoods, health, protection, energy, displacement, accountability to affected population (AAP) and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). REACH will lead the overall technical implementation of the MSNA and provide oversight to each phase of the MSNA research cycle: research design data collection, cleaning, and processing joint inter-sectoral analysis of MSNA data and the production of the following key outputs: - 1 final (clean) household data set - 1 Summary findings dashboard - Presentations to key stakeholders - 6 sectoral factsheets (shelter, education,, livelihoods, health, protection and water, sanitation and hygiene) (minimum of 1 per sector) - 1 MSNA thematic brief. Since the programme is receiving complementary funding from DG-ECHO and BHA, the final outputs will be also considered as jointly supported by OCHA, BHA and DG-ECHO funding. The MSNA will therefore provide data that will directly inform the Lebanese aid communities prioritization and planning in 2022/2023, fulfilling Core Commitment 5 of the Grand Bargain through the conduct of a joint, impartial, and collaborative needs assessment.

DRC proposes the following interventions over the course of a 12-month period: 1) Enable a more accountable response and address evident needs in referral services by adding new RIMS features that link feedback mechanism channels with referrals, and building capacity of the RIMS partners on accountability and feedback mechanisms. 2) Integrate a post-referral satisfaction survey form on RIMS to collect beneficiaries’ feedback on the referral process and the quality of service delivered in a systematic manner. 3) Prioritize inclusion by reducing the barriers to access services and engaging the role of local actors in areas of severity 4 and 5 on RIMS and ensuring that persons of concern receive essential information on assistance and relevant focal points. 4) Strengthen evidence for a more coordinated response by linking and analyzing the beneficiary satisfaction survey results with ongoing analysis of referral processes to improve advocacy initiatives and programmatic implementation Danish Refugee CouncilDanish Refugee CouncilLebanon Humanitarian FundSyma JamilCountry Director+961 79 100 377syma.jamil@drc.ngoCaroline SalmenProgram Development and Quality Manager+961 76 409 262caroline.salmen@drc.ngoAyyad El MasriGrants Management Specialist+961 79 303 662ayyad.al-masri@drc.ngoPaul SaadeFinance Manager+96171909548paul.saade@drc.ngoBeirut33.88690000 35.51310000Coordination and Support Services60310.6459651.51119962.15Lebanon Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council95969.72Lebanon Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee Council23034.78Lebanon Humanitarian FundDanish Refugee CouncilXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/COO/NGO/21958United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsLebanon has been facing social, political, and economic hardship since October 2019, which has led to a severe deterioration of living circumstances and consequently mental health of people residing in Lebanon. These conditions, expected to increase, have been increasing the burden on the humanitarian sector, particularly non-profit organizations responding to these consecutive crises under limited resources in the absence of efficient governmental agencies. A recent report published in February 2022 by the United Nations Interagency Coordination in Lebanon, focusing on mental health (MH) and psychosocial wellbeing, raised alarms on the critical increase in stress, trauma, isolation and negative emotions among refugees and Lebanese and an increase in the demand for MH services. More importantly, the report shed light on what they called “the silent threat” which is the worsening of MH of frontline workers. Concurrently, the rate of suicide in Lebanon is estimated at 1 person on average dying of suicide every 2 days, and 1 person attempting suicide every 6 hours (Bizri et al., 2021) (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1876201821000915?via%3Dihub ). In a small country like Lebanon, these deaths take a huge toll on the community, and news of suicide has become prevalent in the media, with still poor awareness on ethical media reporting, leading to an increase in deaths because of the copycat suicide phenomena. Embrace is a local non-profit organization dedicated to mental health and operates the National Emotional Support and Suicide Prevention Hotline (1564) in Lebanon in collaboration with the National Mental Health Program at the Ministry of Public Health since 2017. It also runs one of the largest Community Mental Health Centers (ECMHC) in Beirut which it launched after the Beirut blast in August 2020 delivering 5,500 free mental health consultations in its first year of operation and under strenuous country conditions. The aim of this project is to provide additional support to promote the local mental health response that Embrace is delivering through its multiple specialized programs and activities to approximately 15,000 direct beneficiaries annually, between its two cited services above. It also aims to strengthen accountability measures and build the capacity of other partners as identified with the health sector. To increase its inclusion and availability to vulnerable and affected populations, Embrace invests its resources in applying developmental assessments and workshops to improve its operations to be gender inclusive and non- discriminatory by international standards. The project will support the National Lifeline services by increasing its reach across geographical areas in Lebanon where awareness about this service is still unknown and preventive mental health services are scarce if non-existent, by improving its staffing to better serve beneficiaries with debilitating socio-economic needs putting their lives at risk, and by enhancing its monitoring and evaluation of Embrace services to strengthen the accountability and improve beneficiary feedback mechanisms across both the National Lifeline and Community Mental Health Center. It will also bridge the gap in needed mental health services in Beirut by supporting the services of the ECMHC and reducing the treatment gap among vulnerable populations, including women, youth and individuals from the LGBTQ+ community which frequent Embrace’s center as well as being the most prominent type of callers to the National Lifeline. Given its expertise in the field of mental health and specifically suicide, the project will build the capacity of front liners working in two other non- profit organizations, to be identified in coordination with the health sector, through specialized workshops to empower them with skills on responding to individuals with mental health conditions via standardized response to mental health crises and active listening.

Since October 2019 and the onset of the financial crisis, followed by the Covid-19 pandemic, the depreciation of the Lebanese pound resulted in heightened cost of living and drove vulnerable households further into poverty. Today, Baalbek is the governorate demonstrating the highest intersectoral severity of needs. Baalbeck suffers from extreme power outages interrupting water supply, and drinking water provision, causing additional burdens for vulnerable populations residing in the area. Moreover, water supply systems suffer from the economic crisis, fuel shortage, and recurring power grid shortages, causing them to become non-operational all over the country. Water Establishments do not have the financial capacity to salvage the situation and improve water supply for drinking, hygiene, and homestead irrigation purposes. Lebanese, Syrian and Palestinian households are suffering from lack of basic services. The proposed intervention aims to improve access to safe domestic and drinking water through provision of an environmentally friendly and cost-effective energy source to a water deprived area hosting 25035 individuals including 6801 women, 6710 men, 5732 girls and 5792 boys. The intervention will provide water assistance to Baalbek cadaster, more specifically, Wadi El Sayl (Wadi El Sayl, Shoab and Solah neighborhoods) and Amishki localities (Amishki, Osseira and Bayada neighborhoods), to restore access to basic services that have been lost or damaged due to the protracted and interconnected political, financial, and humanitarian crises, thus reducing the risk of morbidity and mortality associated with limited access to water. Pillar II: Crisis affected populations face multiple barriers in accessing humanitarian assistance, expressing their needs, and alerting humanitarian actors about potential emergencies. This is prevalent among vulnerable groups, particularly women, illiterate persons, and people with specific needs, who are often lacking social capital, community network, and the ability to get adequate support. They often need to raise their needs to representatives within their communities, or male family members, who can become further barriers to accessing humanitarian assistance. It is the responsibility of humanitarian actors to reduce such barriers, and to provide assistance in a safe and accountable manner. SI’s commitment of being accountable to affected communities is translated into efforts to ensure a two-way communication flow through multiple channels, to guarantee safe and fair access to services for all those in need, particularly the most vulnerable who are not reached by traditional AAP channels. SI has developed a WhatsApp Chat Bot. The Bot, piloted in 2021 with GSMA funding, is a widely accessible, time efficient, and cost-effective machine learning technology, interacting with text and voice messages. It is the first humanitarian Bot to offer users a wide range of services (Annexes 6, 7, and 8). The proposed intervention will build on the success of the pilot project and aims to improve the quality and efficiency of the humanitarian response in Lebanon by strengthening accountability to affected populations through digital innovative systems. It intends to conduct technical improvements to the Bot, with the addition of machine learning technology allowing illiterate users to communicate with SI through voice notes (Annex 10). Moreover, it will further integrate digital innovation in all phases of the project cycle. Lastly, SI will contribute to the broader humanitarian response and will enable an accountable, evidence-based and inclusive assistance by scaling up digital innovation and sharing best practices and lessons learnt with the broader humanitarian community.Solidarités InternationalSolidarités InternationalLebanon Humanitarian FundOlivier LeconteCountry DIrector+961376891428cdm@solidarites-liban.orgAna PodgornikDeputy Country Director for Programs+96176043697deputy.cd.pgm@solidarites-liban.orgRim OsmanGrants and Partnership Coordinator+96171661600gp.coo@solidarites-liban.orgKhawar MinhasFinance Coordinator+96176961571fin.coo@solidarites-liban.orgBaalbek El Hermel34.39803800 36.38734200Beirut33.88690000 35.51310000Water, Sanitation and HygieneCoordination and Support Services194175.82270824.18465000.00Lebanon Humanitarian FundSolidarités International372000.00Lebanon Humanitarian FundSolidarités International92999.99Lebanon Humanitarian FundSolidarités InternationalXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/CP/INGO/22136United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThe overall Action is a response to priority two of the allocation enable a more accountable, evidence-based and inclusive response for children, youth, caregivers and community members from host, refugee and migrant communities in Saida and Beirut/Mount Lebanon through an integrated Child protection and Psychosocial Support program. The action is in line with chapter B “promote the inclusion of the most vulnerable people in need of assistance” under priority two through 1) responding to the immediate needs through case management and focused psychosocial support, while simultaneously 2) building a preventive and protective environment for children, youth and community facilitators with different type of disabilities and by 3) enhancing community based child protection on key child protection concerns through community engagement activities. In addition, it will reduce the vulnerability of children and caregivers by 4) enhancing their knowledge, positive coping skills through community based psychosocial support complemented with performing art such as puppets, clowning or theater. The suggested action is also linked to chapter A “Strengthened accountability to affected people” as the Child Friendly Feedback and complaint mechanism is embedded in all of War Child programming, in addition to PSEA and integrity policy. War Child is committed to a participatory process and community-based approach by a continuous collaboration with communities and local actors and Civil Society Organizations as it is the most effective and efficient method to respond to the rising needs, therefore is committed to priority three, by working with National NGOs mainly Red Oak who will lead the implementation in Saida and Beirut/Mount Lebanon. War Child will be responsible for 1) the overall grant and project management, and donor engagement 2) the development of CSOs' capacity on Psychosocial Support activities and overall case management supervision, coaching, and quality assurance 3) the development of CSOs capacity and front liners included in the project on technical and operational levels, given that War Child has an established child protection and evidence based Psychosocial Support program in Lebanon War Child and Red Oak will directly target 1,840 participants, of which 1,350 Children (50% girls, 50% boys), 490 caregivers (50% women, 50% men).The program will target children at risk and/or survivors of violence, abuse, and exploitation, including vulnerability criteria identified by the LHF and specifically: children at risk of drop out, children out of school, children with visual, auditory, wheelchair users, and other types of impairments (10% of the direct target), working children and child survivors of SGBV. Final beneficiaries include approximately 4000 siblings, peers, parents/caregivers of those children directly targeted as well as community members. Siblings and peers will benefit from the skills and knowledge passed on by targeted children and parents/caregivers will be supported to give necessary care to prevent child protection issues.

Selection of beneficiaries will be based on the sector-approved vulnerability assessment of HHs. Assistance Modality - 1,070 HHs will receive food parcels and cash assistance on alternating months over a 10 months duration ( for a total of 5 distributions). The distributed assistance will be sufficient for a duration of 2 months. Distribution will be through: 1) distribution points or 2) door-to-door, based on the geographic distribution, density of selected households, and mobility capacity. Cash assistance will be provided through coded Telegraphic Bank Transfers (TT). While distribution of parcels will mainly be at distribution centers, Anera will allocate necessary resources to deliver door-to-door where needed. Anera will follow necessary health precautions and safety measures in both distribution modalities (including distancing, use of PPEs and crowd management). Verified delivery notes, stock control, and distribution receipts will be the basis of monthly distribution monitoring and reporting. On 2 occasions (mid-term and project end) the project team will conduct a post-distribution evaluation with a sample of beneficiaries to measure the immediate impact of the assistance. The project will be implemented in partnership with 4 local organizations which will primarily handle distribution. Anera will also mobilize a team of 20 trained youth through cash for work activities to help in HH identification, baseline assessment, and post-distribution assessment. Anera's management and operations team in Beirut will lead the development of tools, competitive procurement, finance and compliance management, MEAL, and reporting. Anera will leverage its solid relationships with the local NGOs with which Anera has had successful previous experiences in food distribution and which have the infrastructure that facilitates orderly distributions (outreach, space, logistic support, etc.). For safe and proper implementation of the project, Anera will implement a thorough capacity building plan targeting all partner organizations prioritizing 6 modules: 1. HR Management 2.

Action Against Hunger (ACF) will provide a package of services to the multi-crisis affected Lebanese, displaced Syrians and Palestinian refugees’ households. This project is aligned with the food security, nutrition and WASH sectors’ strategies and recommendations. 750 vulnerable households (2977 individuals) residing in Aarsal and Ras Baalbek (Baalbek-Hermel region) and Rachaya (Central Bekaa), will be provided with cash-based food assistance. Most vulnerable households will be identified through a multisectoral vulnerability assessment, including socio-economical, food security and nutrition indicators. Eligible households will receive cash-based food assistance of 100 USD per month, over a period of 6-months, for a total of 600 USD. The monthly rate (20 USD/individual/month) is based on the food transfer value set by the Inter-Agency “Monthly Monitoring of SMEB”, in line with the food Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB). The monthly transfer value is based on the Food Security and Agriculture (FSA) sector recommendation. 100 vulnerable smallholder farmers receiving cash-based food assistance will also receive restricted business grants for agricultural inputs and materials. The project will provide urgent support to smallholder farmers with conditional restricted cash transfers to purchase the necessary raw materials and assets to preserve their level of productivity. The average grant is of 350 USD per farmer is based on the FSA sector recommendation and will be adjusted based on the cost of assets needed. ACF will accompany each farmer in the purchasing process and provide technical guidance based on the farmers’ agricultural activity and particular condition, as well as recommendations on farming good practices. In Aarsal and Ras Baalbek, this project will aim to address poor IYCF practices and prevent possible risks of child malnutrition under its nutrition component. A total of 1,330 pregnant and lactating women (PLW) and caregivers (including fathers) of 0-59 months old children will receive nutrition counselling and awareness sessions at health facility and community level, depending on the feeding and/or breastfeeding needs expressed by the beneficiaries. A total of 700 PLWs and 1,500 children aged 6 to 59 months will also receive micronutrient supplements and community level MUAC assessments through Family MUAC for timely detection of wasting, as well as, referral to treatment centers where needed. In parallel, 2 health facilities in Baalbek-Hermel region will be supported to enhance IYCF practices, including the provision of 2 breastfeeding kits, the development of baby-friendly corners and the provision of IYCF trainings for 8 relevant health facilities staff. ACF will identify and train 4 community mobilizers to conduct sessions on health and nutrition and link caregivers to health facilities. The third component will target 2160 vulnerable households in Aarsal, Ras Baalbek, Qaa, Hermel and Dar el Ahmar (in Baalbek-Hermel region) to be provided with 2000 dignity kits, and/or 1750 baby kits, and/or 750 hygiene kits, as a one-off distribution. To respond to critical hygiene needs of the Syrian population in informal settlements, hygiene kits will be provided to vulnerable Syrian households based on referrals, along with baby and dignity kits needs. To ensure the complementarity between the different interventions, baby kits and dignity kits will be distributed to all eligible beneficiaries supported through the food security and nutrition components in Aarsal and Ras Baalbek depending on their specific needs identified and demographic profiles.

It will target Lebanese, Syrian, Palestinian refugees, and other nationalities from most marginalized communities in Abou Samra, Bab El Ramel, Trablous Et Tabbaneh, Trablous Ez Zeitoun, and Trablous El Zahrieh in Tripoli, North Lebanon. CARE will prioritize the most vulnerable individuals and households, including single female headed households, persons with disability, the elderly, chronically ill persons, LGBTIQ+ and minority groups. Beneficiaries will be identified through a mixture of internal and external referrals and door to door outreach. Identified individuals will have safe and inclusive access to a comprehensive package of food assistance through vouchers, general case management, emergency cash assistance, in addition to PSS and referrals to other service providers as their needs require. Vulnerable households facing food insecurity will receive vouchers that they can redeem for food for their households based on their needs and preferences. Protection activities will complement this essential food assistance in order to address the heightened exposure to protection risks that vulnerable people experience during crisis periods. Individuals receiving food assistance that are also experiencing protection risks will be supported with case management (CM) and psychosocial support (PSS). Individuals identified during case management that are facing a specific protection threat and have limited coping capacities are eligible to receive emergency cash assistance (ECA) and recurrent protection cash assistance (RPCA) to mitigate their exposure. Through this integrated, needs-based life-saving intervention, CARE will contribute to enhancing resilience and alleviating suffering of highly affected communities and increase their access to priority needs. To strengthen the protection environment, CARE as a member of the core group of the PSEA Network in Lebanon, will develop innovative community-based approaches to raising awareness on the prevention of sexual abuse and exploitation (PSEA). CARE will develop the capacity of community members to disseminate PSEA information and key messages to their respective communities on rights and reporting mechanisms with innovative methods such as drawings, short videos, role play during community activities and events. Furthermore, CARE will strengthen its local partners’ capacity to undertake humanitarian response as they impact local vulnerable communities during times of crisis as well as enhance their longer term strategies to achieve sustainable solutions to development challenges. Following collaborative development of a capacity building plan, partners will receive training, mentoring and coaching on PSEA, Financial Management, Human Resources, Project Management Cycle, Anti-Fraud, Procurement, Partnership, Gender, FSL, Grant Management and Project Management. This project will be supported by a robust and improved monitoring and evaluation system which leverage’s learnings from CARE’s previous humanitarian response interventions in the North. CARE’s MEAL team will lead and strengthen the monitoring and accountability mechanisms and ensure partners are appropriately capacitated to ensure effective and systematic monitoring and follow up on all project activities.

Priority for areas with a convergence of needs through an area-based approach for all people in need. This 10 months duration project is largely achieving the stated objectives and priorities addressed within the LHF allocation strategy, contributing to saving lives of people and communities affected by severe food insecurity in the areas of severity, a complement to the recent phased out project. strategies and components are determined according to the priorities of each family, and therefore it does not reflect a single pattern for all targeted 750 Lebanese, PRL, and migrant families sheltering in North Palestinian refugee camps (Naher Al Bared amp Badawi). The identification of the most vulnerable households has taken place where the nationality segregation breakdown of targeted beneficiaries stands for 462 PRL, 208 Lebanese Households, and 80 migrants, distributed as 981 men, 974 women, 735 Girls, and 765 boys. It’s worth mentioning that, the total number of the identified household members is 3455 including 187 pregnant and lactating women, 338 people with special needs, and 225 elderly people as well. The project is composed of two main components that emerged strongly in a multi-sectoral response with a percentage of 31% for food security, and 69% for shelter self-improvement refers to PWSNs. As a multi-sectoral response to food security, 750 HHs will be supported with five rounds of food parcels sufficient for a family composed of 5 individuals. As is notable that, the objective of distributing in-kind food parcels is linked to price changes from one day to another, which makes it more difficult to purchase the planned quantity if the food voucher is approved. The other reason is due to the huge number of expired materials in the market, so we decided that the best interest of the family requires giving them five food parcels over the course of the five months. Whereas the second main pillar resides in shelter self-improvement and focuses on the rehabilitation of 220 shelters with inadequate spaces, basic utilities, and wash facilities, actually unsafe and unhealthy. The 220 shelters were distributed as follows: 129 PRL, 61 Lebanese, and 30 Migrants, sheltering in Naher Al Bared, and Badawi, where the total number of household members is 1013 disaggregated by gender as 289men, 285 women, 216 Girls, and 223 boys. This component will be implemented through direct conditional cash assistance in 3 installments, subject to technical assessment, monitoring, and evaluation of progress.

The action aims at improving access to nutritionally balanced food, by distributing over 6 months dry food parcels paired with Menstrual Hygiene kits and complemented with fresh fruit and vegetables baskets to 615 vulnerable HHs, and by providing agricultural input packages to 225 vulnerable smallholder farmers. The project will adopt mainly the in-kind modality, based on the lessons learnt of the current project and the recommendations of the recent assessments however, a voucher component will be piloted with one municipality and one cooperative for the provision of the fresh food basket. The project mainstreams a capacity building component for Mada’s and the Cooperatives’ staff to maximize the impact and quality of the intervention. The project will directly target 4,200 individuals for the food assistance, WASH and input packages components an additional 58 individuals will receive training and capacity building during the implementation. The direct beneficiaries will be identified through participatory consultations and prioritized through vulnerability assessments, and then selected and validated with key stakeholders. The project will target three main areas (Wadi Kaled, Joumeh and Jabaal Akroum), specifically in the municipalities of: Wadi Khaled (est. pop. 8,600 HH), Al Aaamayer - Rajm Issa (est. pop. 3,050 HH), Tekrit Municipality (est. pop. 1,645 HH), Ilat (est. pop. 350 HH), and Akroum (est. pop. 1,070 HH). WW-GVC and Mada will launch competitive procurement processes for the selection of the supplier(s) of dry food parcels, Menstrual Hygiene kits, and input packages, and of the cooperatives in charge of the fresh food baskets. The distributions will be conducted by WW-GVC’s and Mada’s staff: once per month for the dry food, once every two months for the Menstrual Hygiene kits, and every week for the fresh food baskets. Distributions will take place at secure distribution points (including the cooperatives’ premises) or, for the most vulnerable, delivered door-to-door. The input packages will be distributed in one round ahead of the planting season Mada will set up three warehouses/distribution points in the three areas.

Between the Syrian refugee influx crisis, street protests, COVID-19 pandemic, dangerous depletion of resources, Beirut port explosion on August 4 2020, overlapping economic, financial and social crises, Lebanon grapples to survive on the edge of collapse. The economic crisis in Lebanon is ranked as one of the top ten most severe episodes globally (World bank, 2021). The extreme depreciation of the Lebanese lira (92 per cent of its value) has contributed to a triple digit annual inflation of 214 per cent between February 2021 and February 2022 ((CAS), Consumer Price Index (CPI), February 2022). As a result, humanitarian needs increased between 2021 and 2022 as living standards continued to deteriorate and physical and mental well-being of people in Lebanon continued to worsen. All population groups in Lebanon are facing increased food insecurity and very limited access to basic services. This project mainly targets PwDs and older persons from all population groups who are facing exacerbated vulnerabilities (socioeconomic vulnerability, food insecurity, increased protection threats, limited access to essential hygiene items, lack of critical assistive devices and therapies). In order to mitigate the above-mentioned situation, and to address the emerging challenges and needs, this project will provide a package of tailored services that are very responsive to the needs of disability and diverse age groups through an integrated approach: - 1,920 nutritionally balanced food parcels for 480 HHs for a duration of 4 months - 960 WASH kits (760 hygiene kits and 200 dignity kits) for 480 HHs for a duration of 2 months To complement the above, the following protection activities will be implemented: - Case management for 100 cases (PwDs and older persons) - Individual counseling for 300 cases (including those taken under case management) - The provision of 200 assistive devices for PwDs and older persons - The provision of 100 self/home care supplies for PwDs and older persons - The provision of 900 physical therapy sessions for 60 PwDs and older persons In alignment with the FSS priorities and LHF 2022 first standard allocation strategy paper, the identification of eligible beneficiaries will be based on a validation assessment that will be revised by LHF prior starting the implementation phase. The following vulnerability profiles will be prioritized among other: - PwDs (men with disabilities, women with disabilities and children with disabilities) - Older persons (older women and older men) - Households including at least one person with disability, households including at least one older person - PwDs and older persons facing protection threats, unable to meet their needs due to lack of family/community support, lack of financial resources will be also prioritized for different services. Center based and home-based distribution modalities will be adopted to address the accessibility challenges faced by our targeted groups. FoH is an organization of persons with disabilities that owns 4 accessible centers located in Mina, Koura, Dennieh and Akkar, a fully accessible fleet, disability and age expertise, and the required human and financial resources that will allow to ensure the high quality of implementation while responding to the specific needs of the targeted population in the priority areas as indicated in the LHF 1st standard allocation strategy 2022.The Forum for the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesThe Forum for the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesLebanon Humanitarian FundReem IsmailProject Manager 71258282ismailreem94@gmail.comRanda AbdoFinancial Coordinator71685837randa.abdo@theforum-lb.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000North34.43330000 35.85000000Food SecurityProtectionWater, Sanitation and Hygiene201661.03199457.08401118.11Lebanon Humanitarian FundThe Forum for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities120335.43Lebanon Humanitarian FundThe Forum for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities120335.44Lebanon Humanitarian FundThe Forum for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities160447.24Lebanon Humanitarian FundThe Forum for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities23854.10The Forum for the Rights of Persons with DisabilitiesUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/FS-W-S/NGO/22002United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsNusaned is proposing a multi-sectoral and inclusive intervention that fits under Pillar 1 of the LHF 2022 First Standard Allocation. The project will provide life-saving assistance to 4,600 of the most vulnerable and at-risk individuals, regardless of their nationalities and status, in six villages in Akkar (Aaiyat, Beit Ayoub, Beit Younes, El Qorne, Ouadi Ej Jamous, Takrit), with a particular focus on Persons with Specific Needs (PwSN). The selected region has been strongly affected by the multi-layered crisis in Lebanon. With the current deteriorated overall situation in the country, the most vulnerable populations are unable to cover their basic food and non-food needs, and are resorting to negative coping mechanisms. The proposed intervention is convergent, primarily focusing on Food Security by providing 700 households with food and non-food vouchers through four cycles of distributions, covering their main nutritional and hygienic needs. As complementary services, 350 of the most vulnerable identified households will receive tailored WASH kits: 140 Elderly kits and 210 Dignity kits will be distributed in total. Nusaned will also provide Shelter rehabilitation and adaptation activities for 150 households hosting Persons with Specific Needs (PwSN) to ensure their accessibility and ease of movement within their households, and an improved quality of life. Nusaned will coordinate and collaborate with the Food Security, WASH, Shelter sectors, and other actors working/present in the villages of intervention to map the relevant stakeholders, avoid any duplication of efforts, increase the efficiency of the project, facilitate the referrals process and reach the most vulnerable households. Additionally, PSEA, Gender and Protection mainstreaming is at the core of the proposed intervention throughout all of the designing, planning, implementing and monitoring stages of the project. Nusaned will ensure that specific mainstreaming activities and tools are in place and effectively applied: staff, volunteers and intervention stakeholders are trained and briefed on Protection and PSEA, Field Teams are gender balanced, PSEA leaflets and Nusaned helpline will be disseminated to the community members. The planned activities are tailored to address women, men, girls, boys, elderly, PwSN and other at-risk and vulnerable groups.NusanedNusanedLebanon Humanitarian FundLynn MalasMEAL Partnership Officer+96171288525lynn.malas@nusaned.orgGhaida NawamPresident and Acting CEO+9613223881ghaida.nawam@nusaned.orgSandra SalehHR Teams Manager+9613576687sandra.saleh@nusaned.orgIhab AjinehAccounting Officer+96178919451ihab.ajineh@nusaned.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000Emergency Shelter and NFIFood SecurityWater, Sanitation and Hygiene483135.20316809.97799945.17Lebanon Humanitarian FundNusaned319978.07Lebanon Humanitarian FundNusaned239983.55Lebanon Humanitarian FundNusaned239983.55Lebanon Humanitarian FundNusaned5957.48NusanedUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/H/INGO/22026United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSAMS proposes a nationwide 12-month intervention during which it will pay a top-up contribution to patient bills directly to hospitals for critical and lifesaving care for the most vulnerable Lebanese, displaced Syrians, migrants, and PRL/PRS. This activity will contribute to the LCRP 2022 Outcome 2: Improve access to the hospital (including Emergency Room (ER) care and advanced care (including advanced diagnostic laboratory and radiology care) and Lebanon ERP 2021-2022 Health Sector SO 1: Ensure access to life-saving and life-sustaining health services for those most vulnerable and in need in the context of worsening socio-economic conditions- primarily focused on expanded coverage for in-patient hospital care for vulnerable Lebanese and migrant patients addressing catastrophic health conditions to complement existing interventions and increased caseload among Lebanese and migrant patients. The goal of this program is to provide financial support to facilitate safe and timely access and referrals to life-saving hospital services. The project will build on SAMS’ 3-year past performance of supporting similar interventions: providing financial support to the targeted population (Output 2.1) and supporting public and private hospital service delivery (Output 2.2). The proposed intervention will also mainstream protection by decreasing issues and concerns faced by patients such as the confiscation of legal documents and hospitals’ refusal to admit or discharge patients. In designing this proposed project, SAMS consulted with UN agencies (UNHCR, UNRWA, IOM), health sector coordinators, and public and private hospital focal points to understand current gaps by identifying target population groups and proposing interventions.

Mercy-USA for Aid and Development through this project will provide financial support to the cost of hemodialysis treatment sessions of 50 patients in Beirut amp Mount Lebanon, North and South suffering from renal failure and in need of urgent medical care which in turn would decrease the level of mortality and morbidity among patients as well as improve the socioeconomic conditions. Hence, the project will provide immediate life-saving health assistance to the humanitarian needs of vulnerable people at risk by prioritizing the most vulnerable ones and alleviating their financial burden and protecting their dignity, thus improving their health status and future. Beneficiaries will be assigned to contracted treatment centers/hospitals depending on the proximity of their residency. The required number of sessions per beneficiary are 3 sessions per week, accordingly the cost of 6480 hemodialysis sessions will be covered throughout this project. Moreover, patients will be referred to Primary Health Care centers in order to receive the needed medical care whenever needed (such as medications for NCD patients, vaccination, etc.) Mercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentMercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentLebanon Humanitarian FundOmar AliCountry Director81277725oali@mercyusa.orgDiana KobayterProgrammes Donor Relations Manager81277720dkobayter@mercyusa.orgNawar ZaarouraFinance Officer70847972nawar.zaaroura@mercyusa.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000Beirut33.88690000 35.51310000Bekaa34.00890000 36.14530000Mount Lebanon33.83330000 35.53330000North34.43330000 35.85000000South33.55000000 35.38330000Health201265.28232229.17433494.45Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development173397.78Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development260096.67Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development15168.60Mercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/H-NUT-E/INGO/21942United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsRelief International (RI) proposes a 12-month project that will provide integrated and inclusive health and nutrition services for 16,400 individuals through support to Dar El Fatwa Primary Health Care Center (PHCC) and Geitawi PHCC in Beirut, Eben Sina PHCC in Tripoli and Srebta PHCC in Saida as well as provision of Cash For Education (CFE) assistance for 2,500 children in Tripoli, this will be achieved by 1) supporting the provision of a comprehensive package of care through four PHCCs located in high priority areas, 2) improving community engagement through targeted multi-sectoral messaging on COVID-19, nutrition, mental health and PSEA through community health workers, 3) providing skilled counselling targeting pregnant women and caregivers of children under 23 months through the recruitment of two lactation specialist at the four supported PHCCs, 4) forming Mother support groups to allow peer-to-peer discussions, which will empower social cohesion and an overall sense of community while sharing experiences, 5) Providing Cash For Education assistance for first shift public schools children for eight months, 6) Facilitating awareness sessions for the parents/caregivers of the children about the importance of education.Relief InternationalRelief InternationalLebanon Humanitarian FundJody YasinowskyChief Program Officer+1.908.672.6565jody.yasinowsky@ri.orgSandra NakhleCountry Director+9613305966sandra.nakhle@ri.orgYoussef ObeidFinance Manager+96170507941Youssef.obeid@ri.orgBeirut33.88690000 35.51310000North34.43330000 35.85000000South33.55000000 35.38330000EducationHealthNutrition969699.71959101.891928801.60Lebanon Humanitarian FundRelief International771520.64Lebanon Humanitarian FundRelief International578640.48Lebanon Humanitarian FundRelief International578640.48Lebanon Humanitarian FundRelief International1062.48Relief InternationalUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/H-P/NGO/22073United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsPlaces of detention are by definition closed, and keep those detained out of the sight of society with inherent risks of human rights abuses (APT, 2004). People deprived of their liberty in places of detention are one of the most vulnerable populations in Lebanon and are particularly at risk of human rights violations including torture, ill-treatment, and poor health care. Their security and well-being are under the responsibility of the Ministry of Interior (MoI) through the Internal Security Forces (ISF), which should guarantee conditions of detention that respect human rights and human dignity. The United Nations Standard Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Prisoners (the Nelson Mandela Rules) have stipulated the basic principles that should be respected in places of deprivation of liberty relating to, inter alia, accommodation, personal hygiene, clothing and bedding, food, healthcare services, treatment, and contact with the outside world. In North Lebanon (NL), the Mandela Rules are completely disregarded by prison administrations. The official capacity of prisons is exceeded by 23%. In particular, around 1,011 inmates are currently incarcerated in six prisons (i.e., Kobbeh prisons for men and women, as well as Zgharta, Batroun, Douma, and Halba prisons). Lebanese detainees represent 62% of the prison population and Syrian detainees represent 25%, mainly arrested on the basis of criminal offenses (i.e., robbery, drugs). Around 10 new entries are also registered on a weekly basis in 40 police stations and two House Courts in North Lebanon and Akkar governorates including minors and women. Whereas the provision of health care for prisoners is a State responsibility, persons deprived of their liberty in the Lebanese places of detention do not have access to necessary and subsidized healthcare services and do not enjoy the same standards of health care that are available in the community. Restart Center has been witnessing increased risks of mortality and morbidity in places of detention in North Lebanon, due to the below reasons: - Hospitalization: Most of the hospitals in NL are refusing to admit detainees because the ISF directorate is not able to cover the total costs of admission and medical services. This is particularly attributed to the gap between the official exchange rate adopted by the ISF and the hospitals’ rate. The remaining cost share is to be covered by the detainees themselves, who in most cases do not have the financial means to afford it. Other actors (such as IOM and ICRC) are also not able to cover these expenses in NL. - Laboratory and other diagnostic tests ─ including essential testing for infectious diseases required for new comers ─ are no longer covered by the ISF directorate in most prisons since the destruction of the ISF laboratory Center during the Beirut Port explosion in 2020. - Lack of specialists: Specialized doctors are refusing to work inside places of detention due to low salaries, and many general practitioners have already resigned their job inside prisons for better job opportunities. - Rupture in medications: the health crisis is exacerbated by a severe rupture in medications including a shortage of essential drugs. - Worsened mental health: The health crisis, exacerbated by enormous legal challenges and delays in trials, is highly affecting the mental health of detainees, particularly persons with specific needs. It is important to mention that around 64% of the prison population in NL are pre-trial inmates who are not convicted yet. Likewise, due to the socio-economic situation and fuel crisis, detainees are receiving limited support from families, which also has a negative impact on their psychosocial wellbeing. In view of the above, under this project, Restart Center will be providing health and mental health services and legal assistance to 500 vulnerable detainees in places of detention in North Lebanon and Akkar governorates.

Screening, referral, and treatment of malnutrition (SAM without complications and MAM) among children under 5 and PLWs The project will be implemented by Mercy-USA in the North, Akkar and Mount Lebanon (El Metn). The project will target 18.000 people (Host communities, Syrian Refugees, PRS/PRL and migrants) disaggregated as follows: - 5,914 Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLWs) - 12,086 Children under 5 (5,844 girls - 6,243 boys) 1 outreach team (1 IYCF counselor and 1 Community Health Worker) will be based out of each PHCs to provide visual MUAC screening, referrals, distribution of Multiple Micronutrient Powders (MNPs) and IYCF services for PLWs and children under 5. These outreach teams will work in parallel and direct coordination with the selected health facilities in the targeted areas. The PHC Staff will screen, identify, and refer cases of malnutrition among pregnant and lactating women (PLWs) and Children under 5 (CU5) if needed for treatment as well as provide IYCF through: - IYCF sessions - Counseling PLWs and caregivers of children under 24 months of age and providing messages on IYCF recommended practices to mothers who have malnourished children - Promoting timely initiation of breastfeeding, exclusive breastfeeding and introduction of safe, age appropriate and nutrition diversified complementary food (including related hygiene messaging) - Provision of Skilled Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) counselling and support to for breastfed and non-breastfed children under 6 months of age - Distributing micronutrients and nutrition supplies for the PLWs and children - Reporting breast milk substitute distribution This project will empower mothers and HH members through training them to screen their own children for malnutrition by teaching them how to use color-coded Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) tapes. In addition, this service will be provided in the treatment of PHCs to mothers with malnourished children in order for them to keep on track the nutritional status of their children after discharge from the treatment program. Throughout this project and in order to ensure utilization of nutrition services for nutritionally vulnerable children and caregivers, and alleviate the financial burden on vulnerable communities, suspected and confirmed malnourished cases referred to the PHCs will benefit from financial support towards the consultation fee, and will receive cash support for the cost of transportation. This response will adopt the safety recommendations in the COVID-19 context.Mercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentMercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentLebanon Humanitarian FundOmar AliCountry Director81277725oali@mercyusa.orgDiana KobayterPrograms Donor Relations Manager81277720dkobayter@mercyusa.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000Mount Lebanon33.83330000 35.53330000North34.43330000 35.85000000Nutrition131781.25247967.10379748.35Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development151899.34Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development227849.01Lebanon Humanitarian FundMercy-USA for Aid and Development880.25Mercy-USA for Aid and DevelopmentUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/NUT-E/INGO/22160United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsThis project involves life-saving interventions, including infant and young child feeding (IYCF) and malnutrition activities, responding to the needs of the most vulnerable communities residing in Lebanon, with a focus on pregnant, lactating women (PLW) and children under five. The proposed activities align with the nutrition sector’s priorities, building on existing capacities and experiences and complementing ongoing projects implemented by IOCC and others. The project activities will be implemented in close coordination with the Ministry of Public Health (MoPH), Infant and Young Child National Committee, UNICEF, and other nutrition implementing partners. To complement these interventions, IOCC, in close coordination with the education sector, will also work on ensuring access of vulnerable school-aged children to nutritious food items to improve their nutrition intake and increase attendance to schools. Through this project, IOCC will provide malnutrition prevention and treatment services to the most vulnerable population in Lebanon, thus decreasing risks of morbidity and mortality. The proposed interventions are to: - Provide skilled nutrition counselling on optimal maternal nutrition and IYCF, targeting 24,000 PLW and the caretakers of children aged below 23 months at the community, primary health care (PHC), and hospital levels - Provide awareness raising activities on optimal maternal nutrition and IYCF to 30,000 PLW, caregivers of children under 23 months, and the community at large - Establish 10 mother support groups to empower the community and encourage positive behavior change in IYCF practices - Refer the community to available IYCF services and follow up on service provision - Monitor, follow up on, and address violations of the International Code of Marketing of Breast-milk Substitutes, and enforce law 47/2008 - Provide capacity building sessions to organizations providing breastmilk substitutes to ensure safe provision of artificial feeding support, in line with national and international recommendations - Provide 10,000 PLW and children 6-59 months with micronutrient supplements, including multiple micronutrient supplements (MMS), micronutrient powder (MNP), or other nutritional supplements - Screen for acute malnutrition at the community level and scale up the family Mid-Upper Arm Circumference (MUAC) approach, strengthening referrals to primary health care centers (PHCCs) for screening and treatment of malnutrition - Support PHCCs to provide malnutrition services through on-the-job coaching and guidance, and subsidize malnutrition treatment consultations and transportation for acute malnutrition cases - Cover the cost of malnutrition treatment services at the hospital level - Conduct awareness sessions to disseminate key messages related to protection and prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA) and introduce IOCC’s complaint and feedback mechanism to beneficiaries -Provision of healthy snacks to vulnerable school-aged children (aged 3-12 years old) attending schools in Tripoli and Akkar International Orthodox Christian CharitiesInternational Orthodox Christian CharitiesLebanon Humanitarian FundSlavenko DjokicCountry Representative+9611687354sdjokic@iocc.orgGhassan AkkaryPrograms Director+9611687354gakkary@iocc.orgKetty KaramFinance Manager+9611687354kkaram@iocc.orgPressila DerjanySenior Health Program Coordinator+9611687354pderjany@iocc.orgNanor KareguezianSchool Feeding Programs Manager+9611687354NKaragueuzian@iocc.orgAkkar34.55060000 36.07810000Baalbek El Hermel34.39803800 36.38734200Beirut33.88690000 35.51310000Mount Lebanon33.83330000 35.53330000North34.43330000 35.85000000South33.55000000 35.38330000EducationNutrition473793.79757446.651231240.44Lebanon Humanitarian FundInternational Orthodox Christian Charities369372.13Lebanon Humanitarian FundInternational Orthodox Christian Charities492496.18Lebanon Humanitarian FundInternational Orthodox Christian Charities26792.96Lebanon Humanitarian FundInternational Orthodox Christian CharitiesXM-OCHA-CBPF-LEB-22/DDA-3604/SA1/P/INGO/22134United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIn the descent into a full-fledged humanitarian crisis, 82% of the population in Lebanon lives in multidimensional poverty and 34% in an extreme one – affecting Syrian refugees and migrants, but with a striking spike among Lebanese. In humanitarian contexts, persons with disabilities are disproportionately affected and exposed to heightened risks, and remain amongst the most likely to be left out of humanitarian assistance, as they encounter multiple environmental, institutional, and attitudinal barriers. To respond to these constraints, HI proposes the provision of technical assistance on disability inclusion to three actors - national and/or international - providing humanitarian assistance in the target areas. The technical assistance entails training, technical support, and coaching. As part of the technical support, identification and referral of persons with disabilities to the supported actors to ensure field staff can practice service adaptation and develop good practices on inclusion. Sustaining a learning component, the project will consolidate and disseminate a report with recommendations and best practices for organizations to enhance their responses to be more accountable, evidence-based and inclusive of persons with disabilities. The project will target Tripoli and Akkar as primary areas of operations, for the direct benefit of 300 individuals, including host communities, refugees, and staff of the organizations.

The 12 month project will be implemented through innovative community based approach where ADJI will provide rehabilitation services in 10 different locations stated above through contracting 9 local physiotherapists who have equipped clinics in those localities so beneficiaries will have improved access to the project services. Also, ADJI will be working with 10 community mobilizers at the selected locations to outreach the most vulnerable population in hard to reach areas, and to sensitize the communities on the inclusion concept. Through the project ADJI will reach 2,200 beneficiaries (500 elderly, 100 Adult with disabilities, 600 caregivers and 1,000 community members) from the most vulnerable population. The project is composed of three main pillars as described below: 1. Provision of rehabilitation services to elderly and adults with disabilities. The beneficiaries will be assessed by the physiotherapists in their localities, who will conduct a general and special assessments (provided by ADJI) to capture the vulnerability status and their specific needs. Then, following to the case approval by ADJI team, the physiotherapist will set a customized action plan depending upon the need identified. The planned assistance will include the following services: i) physical and functional rehabilitation sessions, provision of rehabilitation aids, and provision of psychosocial support PSS to improve the beneficiaries’ functional independence. ADJI will assess the selected centers/clinics and will be conducting minor accessibility works if needed to remove the barriers that prevent persons with disabilities PwDs from being independence. Also, ADJI will provide technical capacity building for the physiotherapists. 2. Provision of psychosocial support PSS services to beneficiaries’ caregivers through orientation sessions and/or PSS services to enhance their coping skills to deal with the burden of caregiving and to be able to help the patients all along the treatment period. This approach will contribute to promote positive coping mechanisms of beneficiaries and their families, restoring and/or strengthening collective structures and systems essential to daily life, mental health and psychosocial well-being. The focused non-specialized sessions for beneficiaries and caregivers will be conducted biweekly by a trained PSS worker in the centers and with the support of community mobilizers. 3. Working with the community to promote an inclusive approach and ensure social cohesion. ADJI will provide a capacity building for 10 community mobilizers on outreach, safe identifications, and using the referral pathway/mechanism (including protection issues such as Gender based violence). Dedicated social workers will facilitate and follow-up on the community-based referrals completed by the community mobilizers and other external referrals where possible. Each community mobilizer will provide awareness sessions for 10 individuals on monthly basis about inclusion and rights of PwDs.

This has resulted in escalating tension between the host community and Syrian refugees, as the increase in population in hosting communities has further pressured the existing infrastructure. Furthermore, multiple crises have impacted children through increased stress, change in behaviour, and increased instances of child abuse, child labor, and early marriage. In light of the above, and through assessments conducted by RMF, through its active programming, and renewed WASH partnership with UNHCR North office, in the Akkar district, RMF has identified 7 localities facing severe water shortages due the lack of adequate governmental power supply, and high cost of fuel, leading to the inability to fully operate existing water pumping stations. As such, RMF, throughout this fund, is proposing the installation of: A 3 KWp photovoltaic (PV) system to operate the water pumping station in Hayssa, serving 7000 Lebanese and 5000 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring a saving of 3 million LBP monthly A 3 KWp PV system to operate the water pumping station in Tall Bireh, serving 4000 Lebanese and 1000 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring a saving of 4 million LBP monthly A 22.5 KWp PV system to operate the water pumping station in Machta Hammoud, serving 2640 Lebanese and 594 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring savings of 1,200 USD monthly A 4.2 Kwp PV system to operate the water pumping station in Halba, serving 462 Lebanese and 120 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring savings of 13 million LBP monthly Three 3KWp each PV systems to operate the three water pumping stations in Souaisset Aakkar, serving 4200 Lebanese and 800 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring savings of 4 million LBP monthly A 3 KWp PV system to operate the water pumping station in Tleil serving 760 Lebanese and 190 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring savings of 30 USD monthly A 30 KWp PV system to operate the water pumping station in Mhammara, serving 1440 Lebanese and 1200 Syrian beneficiaries, incurring savings of 50 million LBP monthly Furthermore, RMF will adopt a holistic child protection approach to offset the impact of the crises on children, and their parents.
