Title:
Multi-Country - UNICEF Humanitarian Appeals for the Middle East 2019-2021
Agreement Number:
7410786 P007794001
Agreement Value:
$73,000,000.00
Agreement Date:
Sep 5, 2019 - Mar 31, 2021
Description:
July 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. With the support of GAC and other donors, the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) aims to save lives, protect the rights, and meet the needs of the most vulnerable people, including children, adolescent girls and women in Iraq, Jordan Lebanon and Syria. Project activities include: (1) providing people with access to safe drinking water and sanitation facilities; (2) treating children for severe acute malnutrition; (3) providing emergency education programming for children; (4) ensuring protection services for children, adolescent girls and women; and (5) providing basic healthcare.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe drinking water, sanitation facilities and hygiene education; (2) increased access to services and commodities to identify and treat acute malnutrition for the most vulnerable, including children under 5, and pregnant and lactating women; (3) increased school enrollment and attendance rate; (4) increased access to protection services, particularly for children and women; and (5) increased access to basic health care services.

The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained for the populations in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
