June 2019 – Humanitarian needs stemming from the crises in Syria and Iraq remain significant throughout the Middle East. Continued violence in Syria raises little prospects for the voluntary, safe, sustainable and dignified return of over 5.6 million refugees in the region. Internally displaced persons range in the millions in Syria and Iraq, and refugees facing protracted displacement in host countries continue to face acute humanitarian needs in Jordan and Lebanon.

In line with Grand Bargain commitments, GAC is providing flexible regional funding to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) on a multiyear basis, for its emergency operations in Syria, Iraq, Jordan and Lebanon. Regional funding provides OCHA with the flexibility to allocate funds to better coordinate the humanitarian response to evolving crises across the Middle East. With the support of Canada and other donors, OCHA fulfills its mandate by: (1) strengthening humanitarian leadership; (2) establishing and overseeing coordination systems; (3) monitoring and reporting on humanitarian situations; (4) advocating on behalf of affected people; (5) supporting the assessment and prioritization of humanitarian needs and strategic planning; (6) promoting emergency preparedness; and (7) mobilizing funding for humanitarian assistance.

With the support of GAC and other donors, the World Food Programme (WFP) is providing food assistance to more than 7 million people facing malnutrition and severe food insecurity in Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Syria. WFP is the United Nations’ frontline agency in the fight against hunger. It responds to emergencies, saves lives by quickly getting food to the hungry, and works to help prevent hunger in the future. In the four countries, WFP focuses on providing targeted food assistance to reduce acute malnutrition and food insecurity, and to protect livelihoods. As the global lead agency for logistics and emergency telecommunications, WFP also plays a major role in providing common services for the humanitarian community.

Project activities include: (1) distributing food; (2) supplementary feeding for children under the age of five years old, as well as for pregnant and lactating women; (3) establishing emergency school feeding programs; (4) supplying vouchers and cash transfers for food; and (5) providing food for work.

The project is expected to provide emergency food assistance to more than seven million people affected by malnutrition and acute food insecurity in the four countries.
