January 2020 – The ongoing crisis in Syria continues to be a driver of displacement and humanitarian needs throughout the country. Over 9 years into the conflict, an estimate 11 million people remain in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 5 million people are facing acute humanitarian needs, and millions remain displaced internally and throughout the region. Years of active conflict and displacement have exacerbated protection risks and increased vulnerability for millions. Humanitarian access to those most in need remains a significant challenge. With GAC’s support, this project works to provide inclusive health, rehabilitation, mental health, and psychosocial support services to up to 19,000 persons. Project activities include: (1) providing rehabilitation services adapted to the specific needs of women, men, girls, boys, older persons and persons with disabilities; (2) providing mental health and psychosocial services; (3) providing referrals to specialized and non-specialized services in a gender, age and disability inclusive way; and (4) supporting the establishment of a gender, age and disability inclusive feedback and complaint mechanism in all supported rehabilitation centers.

The expected outcome for this project includes increased access to gender, age and disability-sensitive inclusive health services, including rehabilitation, mental health, protection and psychosocial services for the most vulnerable women, men, girls and boys. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
