JOB CONTEXT :

The Syrian crisis is the greatest humanitarian crisis of the last 20 years. According to the latest UN figures, about 11.7 million people are currently affected by the crisis in Syria, including about 6 million IDPs, while over 5 million Syrians have sought refuge in neighbouring countries or in Europe. The current humanitarian response only provides a patchy and partial coverage of the growing humanitarian needs. Nine years after the beginning of the crisis, the number of injured persons in Syria keeps rising, with a severe lack of healthcare in many areas. In large areas of the country, the local economy is in bad shape local populations and IDPs are in need of livelihoods assistance. The inclusion of the most vulnerable, including persons with disabilities, in the humanitarian response remains a major concern.

HI is managing a large humanitarian program from three different hubs (Beirut, North-West and North-East), along four main pillars:

  1. Support to health partners (hospitals, psychosocial support centers, local NGOs) for the provision of multidisciplinary rehabilitation services (physical rehabilitation, psychosocial support and/or prosthetics and orthotics) and standalone psychosocial support services, through training, technical supervisions and donations of assistive devices and/or equipment;
  1. Education to the risks and effects caused by conventional weapons (including mines, explosive remnants of war and small arms light weapons) and non-technical survey of hazardous areas;
  1. Livelihoods assistance, with a combination of cash for work, vocational training, small grants for businesses and apprenticeships;
  1. Training and technical support to other humanitarian actors on the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable persons in the humanitarian response (with a special focus on inclusive health and inclusive livelihoods).

The actual intervention is based on a mix of remote management of national teams, remote partnerships with local structures and organizations, and direct implementation programs.

In the second base, in 2017-2018, HI strengthen its activities (Global Rehabilitation, Risk education) and diversify it activities in 2019 with the start of provision of Prosthetics as well as the launching of clearance (demining).

Since 2020, HI started a new sector while launching a livelihood (cash for work, vocational training SME/SBG) and inclusive livelihood component.

HI Operate in 3 public health facilities with global rehabilitation (Physical rehabilitation, P&O and PSS). HI conduct EORE (risk education) in several district and subdistrict with 12 teams along with 8 teams of deminers and 6 NTS teams. As well a new project of community health is planned in 2021 to support area affected by covid.

Despite a relative security stability since October 2019 the situation remain fluid and volatile.
