NFI-BI

The NFI sector partners continue to respond to Afrin emergency and since the beginning of the emergency a total of 457,014 non-food items have been distributed in Nubul, Zahra, Tell Rafaat and Aleppo city. Similarly 545,386 non-food items have been distributed to IDP families from Eastern Ghouta living in different IDP sites.

Distributed non-food items include blankets, mattresses, kitchen sets, hygiene kits, jerry cans, plastic sheet, solar lamp, winter clothing kit, children clothing kit, diapers for elderly/ children, sleeping bags and sleeping mats.

The NFI sector in cooperation with the protection sector conducted an orientation session on “Mainstreaming protection in NFI responses in emergencies”. The session which was held on the 2nd of May was very interactive.

During June, the NFI Sector in coordination with its partners contributed to the preparation of IAC plan targeting over 970,000 people in need of humanitarian assistance in 26 different locations for the upcoming two months (Jul-Aug 2018).

The NFI sector partners have been responding to the NFI needs of IDPs from South West Syria. The sector mapped out the available NFI stock with different sector partners and the total available stock is over 190,500 items.

NFI sector IM team completed and rolled out NFI sector online catalogue. The catalogue serves as a reference guide for NFI sector member to have detail information about Non-Food items that sector partners distribute. Sector IM updated the 4W templates with the list of updated Communities.

CRISIS BACKGROUND: The crisis in Syrian Arab Republic that started in March 2011 has transformed into a complex emergency that has displaced around 6.1 million people in various parts of the country. As per the 2018 Humanitarian Needs Overview, around 13.1 million people are in need of humanitarian assistance of which around 4.2 million people are in need of shelter support and other multi-sectorial assistance as they continue to struggle in an unsafe and uncertain environment. Due to the protracted nature of the hostilities, many of both displaced and host communities become more vulnerable and their ability to cope and find safe and durable shelter solutions have been greatly affected. The humanitarian community has been chal-lenged to both provide emergency and life-saving shelter solutions while building back community cohesion and resilience through provi-sion of adequate shelter assistance.

PARTNER IN FOCUS

Pan-Armenian Charity Association (PACA) started its

operation in Syria in 1976; it was named Armenian

Catholic Archbishopric initially. Pan-Armenian Charity

Association has its head office in Quamishli and have

sub offices in Al-Hassakeh, Damascus, Lattakia,

Kassab, and Aleppo.

PACA is working in partnership with UNICEF for

distribution of Non-food items. In addition to standard

NFI distribution; PACA also provide NFI support via

voucher distribution in Al-Hassakeh Governorate to the

displaced people, and other vulnerable groups in the

community such as orphans, children with special

needs etc.

In addition to NFIs project, PACA also operate a clinic

in Dar al-Salam (Al-Hassakeh) for the pregnant and

lactating women and malnourish children. PACA work

on livelihood and early recovery projects in partnership

with UNFPA, UNDP, WHO and UNICEF.

Based on NFI Post Distribution Monitoring, a limited number of NFIs, poor NFI quality including distribution of damaged items (i.e. broken solar lamps, or wet mattresses), and unorganized distribution are the top distribution issues that confronted beneficiaries. Other distribution challenges reported include unequal distri-bution, delayed distribution of seasonal items, far dis-tribution point, and non-adherence to minimum stand-ards of distribution point.

Access and safety are the key challenges in some parts of the country as well as partner capacity and heavy processes along with funding constraints;

Logistical constraints especially during inter-agency convoy such as road blockage, presence of check-points, presence of threats, and proximity to active front lines (i.e. Ar Raqqa) continue to hamper rapid distribution,;

Lack of actual data on distribution recipients prevent the sector to better measure the actual reached and served beneficiaries;

Lack of income-generating activities to provide the necessary financial means continues to hamper ac-cess to basic household items among the most vul-nerable population in need;

Diminishing active participation among sector mem-bers affects coordination and the overall sectorial reach;

Lack of reliable consolidated information for inter-agency convoy reach affects the sector’s ability to determine the extent and impact of its convoy contri-bution;

Insufficient number of detailed and comprehensive assessment makes it difficult for the sector to shift its response priorities from distribution of basic essential NFI items to provision of supplementary items.

Opportunities for systematic field-based data collec-tion remain very limited due to access or authorization restrictions, resulting in incomplete needs analysis in some areas.
