ACT Appeal SYR131: Syria Regional Humanitarian Response
Jordanian communities based NGOs in Mafraq to establish a food processing project and will continue supporting such initiatives in this appeal period. LWF believes that increasing the income of host families will reduce the effects of the Syrian presence and will promote cohesion and stability among both communities. LWF will work with Community Based Organizations (CBOs) on developing successful project ideas that will eventually serve both Jordanian and Syrian families. To reduce pressure on public schools and increase their absorption capacity, LWF will expand and maintain existing schools that enrol Syrian students, through the construction of extra classrooms and minor rehabilitation work. Please note: Output numbers refer to the logframe on page 25ff Output 1.2: Health and health conditions LWF will rehabilitate 100 public WASH facilities in refugee camps, distribute hygiene kits, and conduct hygiene promotion campaign in the north and middle areas of Jordan. Output 1.3: Winter NFIs Gas heaters, gas bottles, gas refill, and warm winter clothing will be distributed in refugee camps and host communities benefiting also vulnerable poor Jordanian families. Output 1.4: Shelter About 100 shelters in host communities where refugees from Syria live will be rehabilitated.

Output 1.5: Psychosocial support Individual and counseling sessions will be conducted to benefit community representatives with whom LWF is working on various interventions that will benefit the camp. Community leaders will need these interventions in order to deal with their war and displacement traumas in order to be able to better serve their communities. Community leaders will also be given psychosocial first aid training in order to help their community members, especially new arrivals to the camp with psychosocial support. Output 1.7: Peace building and conflict mitigation A program that will build peace building skills and conflict mitigation capacities will be implemented in order to benefit selected community leaders and youth in one of the zones of the Zaatari Camp. A leadership training program that will serve the same purpose will also be implemented. Two Social Mediation Committees will be established in the Zaatari Camp in order to mediate between conflicting parties in the camp and contribute to improving the overall environment of the camp. Output 2.1: Formal and non-formal education LWF will implement a life-skills program (informal education) for Jordanian and refugees from Syria in camps and host communities in the north and middle regions of the country. This program will consist of various life skills training that will contribute to the empowerment of youth in general and enable them to positively engage in their communities. Specific topics of this program will be decided after discussions and assessment of needs that will be carried out in the first quarter of the appeal period. Output 3.1: Livelihoods Together with local partners and key stakeholders, LWF will support the establishment of 6 income-generating initiatives that will aim at providing additional income to local partners while improving the livelihoods of both vulnerable Jordanian and Syrian refugee families living in the north and middle regions of the country.

In-depth feasibility analysis of such projects will be conducted once funding is available. 18
