Description 

December 2016 - The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as a result of the civil war in the country. An estimated 13.5 million people continue to be in need of humanitarian assistance, 6.1 million of which are displaced internally by violence and 975,080 located in besieged communities according to the United Nations. Repeated and deliberate attacks on humanitarian and medical workers continue to plague the conflict, adding to the vulnerability of millions of people, particularly women and children, who are affected by the conflict and struggle for access to the most basic services. With GAC’s support, this project provides up to 750,000 individuals with access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitation and maintenance of community and public water supply systems; (2) water trucking when emergency situations take place; (3) rehabilitation and maintenance of community and public irrigation systems; and (4) installation of rain water harvesting systems for irrigation and other domestic needs.

Expected results 

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe drinking water for vulnerable conflict-affected people, with a particular focus on women, girls and people with disabilities; (2) improved access to water for irrigation purposes for vulnerable conflict-affected people; (3) improved access to water, sanitation and hygiene, with a particular focus on women, girls and people with disabilities; (4) improved water systems management and governance at water departments and community levels. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crisis or that are food insecure.
