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 water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and protection services to up to 75,000 persons. Project activities include: (1) providing safe drinking water to crisis-affected communities; (2) rehabilitating community water networks; (3) repairing sanitation facilities in a gender-sensitive and culturally appropriate manner; and (4) training community members and staff on gender-based violence (GBV) services and protection issues.
