Across the region, with the start of the school year approaching, UNICEF and partners are gearing up to support learning opportunities. In Syria, UNICEF is preparing for the launch of the Back to Learning (BTL) initiative 2015/2016. The BTL initiative aims to reach over 1 million children with education supplies and approximately 5.5 million community members with education messages via media campaign. Unique to this year’s campaign is the launching of the self-learning programme, which targets 315,000 out-of-school children this year. In Lebanon, the renovation and/or rehabilitation work started in 61 schools and water samples were taken in order to decide which filtration system to use. Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE) engineers visited the sites to ensure implementation of MEHE standards and the ‘’Effective School Profile’’ standards. In Jordan, UNICEF and its 20 partners worked closely pursuing the roll out of the Makani-My Space programme across Jordan. While 128 Makanis are currently in place, another 93 centres have been identified and are expected to be in place by the end of the year. UNICEF partners reported to have reached 106,283 children through this programme, throughout camps and host communities this month alone. In Turkey, The success of UNICEF’s incentive program for Syrian volunteer teachers has led to rapid scale-up of the initiative, with 5,503 teachers currently supported monthly (exceeding the total sector annual target by 63%) – improving quality of learning for more than 175,000 Syrian refugee children. In Egypt, UNICEF supported 13,181 Syrian children in 236 public schools in year 2014 by providing them with teachers’ trainings and schools rehabilitation. Today, the total number of Syrian children (age 6 – 17) enrolled in 3000 schools in Egypt in 27 governorates is 39,500 according to MoE updated statistics.

Estimated Affected Population * OCHA 2014. The remaining figures are calculated on CBS 2011 demographic distribution and children under 18 year 46 %
Population in Need* 12.2 million Humanitarian Priorities A major water crisis in Aleppo city called for UNICEF’s prompt response in July. Children in Need (Under 18) 5.6 mn Due to the cuts of electricity supplying the main pumping station, water Total Displaced Population * 7.6 mn distribution through the main network was interrupted 8 times – either Children internally Displaced 3.5 mn deliberately, or as a collateral damage of fights between armed groups. On 31st People in Hard to Reach areas 4.8 mn of July the water was cut for the 9th time, and for more than two weeks – up to People in Besieged areas 212,000 August 15th. Water cuts are increasingly recurrent throughout Syria as Children in Hard to Reach areas Up to 2 million controlling access to water is used as a tactic of war to exert pressure on *Source: 2015 Humanitarian Needs Overview, OCHA opposing parties to the conflict. With scorching summer temperatures throughout the country exacerbating the situation, water cuts are particularly devastating at this time of year. In Aleppo, 41% of children visited at health centers had symptoms of diarrhea, a clear indicator of poor sanitation conditions.
In response to this crisis, UNICEF scaled up its life-saving water trucking interventions from 800,000 litres to more than 2.5 million litres per day, providing up to 200,000 people with clean drinking water. UNICEF is in the process of installing 20 ground water wells in Aleppo. This sustainable alternative water supply solution will reach an estimated 100,000 people. In addition to the wells, UNICEF constructed two reverse osmosis plants on the Kwak river, reaching 30,000 people. The installation of an infiltrative well, designed to produce water for 55,000 people, is in progress. WASH In addition to the largest water trucking operation, ongoing in Aleppo, UNICEF continued to provide improved water and sanitation services throughout the country by rehabilitating and maintaining public infrastructure. Overall, in the month of July UNICEF delivered water, sanitation and hygiene services and supply to a total of 2,155,804 people, including more than 400,000 people living in hard to reach areas. One major breakthrough for the programme was the delivery of 100,000 litres of Sodium Hypochlorite to Raqqa. This will serve to disinfect the water supply for an estimated 2 million people over the next 5 months. UNICEF has been unable to deliver supplies to this Governorate for over 18 months. Education With the start of the school year approaching, UNICEF is preparing for the launch of the Back to Learning (BTL) initiative 2015/2016. The BTL initiative aims to reach over 1 million children with education supplies and approximately 5.5 million community members with education messages via media campaign. Unique to this year’s campaign is the launching of the self-learning programme, which targets 315,000 out-of-school children this year and provides them with materials and guidance on how to keep learning by themselves.. The first batch of self-learning materials is being locally printed for 15,000 children. In the month of July, almost 60,000 children have been reached with remedial classes through school clubs. School clubs are an essential service for IDPs to catch up on missed learning opportunities. Health and Nutrition July witnessed another breakthrough in access; this time to besieged East Ghouta, where an estimated 163,000 people – including 80,000 children - are living in conditions of extreme hardship. UNICEF managed to deliver, for the first time in 18 months, pediatric kits and nutrition supplements for an estimated 5,000 children. Overall, in July the health programme reached 532,616 children and mothers with primary healthcare services, and more than 180,000 children with routine immunization. 123,240 children were provided with nutrition supplements and services. Out of these, 14,835 children were reached through the mobile units of the Community-based Management for Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) programme in 5 hard to reach locations. Child Protection In July, the child protection programme defined a new partnership with the Ministry of Health, to promote a Training of Trainers programme for healthcare workers on psycho social support (PSS). Health care workers often play an essential role within communities, establishing relationships of trust, which makes of them the perfect candidates to provide PSS to children in need. Overall UNICEF reached 42,171 children with psycho social support in the month of July, including 9,122 children living in hard to reach locations. UNICEF also supported the Ministry of Education to roll-out Explosive Remnants of War education interventions in schools. As of end July, 5,000 teachers have been trained to sensitize students on risks of explosive remnants. Adolescent and Youth More than 12,000 adolescent girls and boys have been reached during the month of July with life skills education, vocational training, adolescents’ health and psychosocial support services. Out of these, 4,228 adolescents live in hard to reach areas - such as Al-Waer in Homs, Tall and Yabroud in Rural Damascus.

Protection Over 126,337 girls (53%) and boys have been reached in 2015 with psychosocial support services in camps and host communities through Makani Centres and child friendly spaces. Of these, 3,716 children have received specialized case management services. In July, the alternative care arrangements of 8 separated Syrian children were formalized in Jordanian courts. The cases, most of which were resolved in Irbid, represent a major step forward in the Government of Jordan’s shift towards alternative care for Syrian unaccompanied and separated children. The roll-out of Jordan’s alternative care procedures and guidelines, adopted in 2014, have been accompanied by a number of UNICEF-supported trainings in conjunction with the Ministry of Social Development for key actors, including behaviour monitors and judges, to ensure full and effective roll-out of the guidelines. Basic Needs UNICEF’s unconditional child cash grant benefited 55,288 children in July, providing 15,409 families with 20 Jordanian Dinars (JDs) per child to cover their child-related expenses. Some 62% of beneficiaries are living in abject poverty (less than 28 JDs per person per month). Third-party post-distribution monitoring revealed that 72% of recipient households spent the grant on child-related expenses, among which clothing, nutrition, education and medical care costs predominated.

Throughout July, UNICEF Child Protection in collaboration with partners provided psychosocial services to 1,171 newly registered refugee children (G: 497 and B: 674). This constitutes a total of 8,357 (G: 4,250 and B: 4,107) newly registered children since January 2015. 117 newly-registered children (G: 45 and B: 72) received specialized services from frontline workers, raising the total to 1,066 (G: 340 and B: 726) newly-registered children since January 2015. Cases included children with emotional distress, non-attendance of school, child labour, Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASC), early marriage, gender-based violence (GBV) and disability. In collaboration with UNICEF, DoLSA social workers in Domiz Camp, Dahuk Governorate, conducted 27 awareness sessions for children and parents focusing on child labour, child marriage, Mine Risk Education (MRE), dealing with violence among children, and the protection of children in extreme weather conditions such as this summerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heat wave and winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s return in a few short months. In Erbil Governorate, over 900 children are now accessing the Child Friendly Spaces in Kawergosk Camp, stretching the existing capacity of the facility.
Education The number of school spaces available to Syrian refugee children increased, due to support provided to construction projects. Two pre-fab schools in the Qirga and Chwarchira areas in Sulaymaniyah are completed. Formal handover to the Directorate of Education Sulaymaniyah will be taking place before the start of the new academic year. Construction of 2 new schools in Gawilan and Domiz refugee camps is ongoing. The Domiz site has suffered minor delays, due to issues in handing over the Domiz site to the contractor. UNICEF continues to monitor all construction activities closely. As reported previously, an ongoing concern for all education actors is the lack of funds to pay refugee teachers in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I) during the next school year which seriously limits the availability of education services for refugee children.. UNICEF continues to work on this issue with the Ministry of Education, with a discussion of providing temporary incentives via the Ministry to support continuing education for Syrian students.
Health and Nutrition Trained Syrian refugee nurses visited approximately 3,000 tents across the nine refugee camps in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I), as part of the UNICEF supported newborn home visit program offering services to neonates and post-delivery mothers. During these visits, an estimated 300 newborn babies and lactating mothers and 409 pregnant women were supported through the check of vital signs and counseling on adequate breastfeeding. Throughout the reporting period, UNICEF continued to support routine immunization services across all refugee camps in the KR-I, vaccinating 1,385 children under 5 (U5) children against polio. 272 infants under 1 year old received the single measles vaccine, and 545 U5 children were provided with Vitamin A supplements. An estimated 3,000 U5 children accessed UNICEF-supported growth monitoring and baby hut services throughout the reporting period across all refugee camps in the KR-I. Additionally, UNICEF supported 150 seminars, involving an estimated 600 pregnant and lactating women, discussing topics such as exclusive breast-feeding, well-balanced diets and complementary foods for infants.
WASH UNICEF and partners continue to monitor water quality across refugee camps, to ensure safe water for camp inhabitants. UNICEF continued to support Directorate of Surrounding Water in Dahuk Governorate to provide water chlorination and maintenance of water supply sources and distribution networks in Akre, Domiz 1, Domiz 2 and Gawilan camps, reaching approximately 40,000 refugees. UNICEF supported the Board of Relief and Rehabilitation Affairs (BRHA) to provide water trucking to an estimated 1,600 refugee families in Domiz 1, Dahuk Governorate, who have not been able to access water from the pipeline network. UNICEF and the Directorate of Education (DoE) Dahuk completed assessment of WASH facilities in refugee camps. Four (4) refugee schools in Domiz 1 have been identified for construction and rehabilitation; bidding process is ongoing, and is spearheaded by the Dahuk Governorate office.

Some services in camps are gradually handed over from UNICEF to other organizations/institutions, based on agreements. The number of beneficiaries reached by UNICEF in some indicators will gradually decline approaching the target set for UNICEF. Monthly results may decrease with the total refugee population declining in camps. However, the results reflected in this table constitute the maximum number of achieved beneficiaries for the respective activities since the beginning of the year. Where available, monthly (incremental) beneficiary figures are presented for each indicator for sector and/or UNICEF. 7 This indicator refers to refugees benefitting from unsustainable water access, such as water trucking, in contrast to the next indicator, which reflects refugees benefitting from sustainable access to safe water. 8 Sector beneficiaries in June 2015 were 11,025 and for UNICEF 9,590. 9 Sector beneficiaries in June 2015 were 64,553 and for UNICEF 60,754. 10 Actual Sector and UNICEF beneficiaries in June 2015 were 14,490 and 14,466 children respectively with access to WASH facilities in schools, du to the decrease in school enrolment. 11 The application of quality control mechanisms at sector level have led to the downwards revision of the CP sector results. 12 Sector and UNICEF targets refer to children of 6 to 14 years enrolled in formal basic education. However the results for this age group are not currently available, and reflect enrolment across all ages (gross-enrolment). Results will be revised once the age-specific data is available. UNICEF results reduced since February to 21,449, since some families moved from one camp to another, un-enrolling their children for that time. 13 This indicator refers to immunization against polio via campaigns, which target all children under the age of five years, including IDPs, host community members and Syrian Refugee children across the KR-I. Since more than 97 per cent of all Syrian refugees in Iraq reside in the KR-I, the 3RP funds for polio immunization are used for Dahuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah Governorates, while immunization campaigns in the rest of Iraq are funded under the SRP. The HPM reflects the total May polio campaign results in the KR-I, of whom 32,436 were refugees in and out-side camps. 14 The result of this indicator refers to the number of registered growth monitoring visits. One child could have benefitted repeatedly from nutrition screening services.

UNICEF started working with partners to prepare the handover of the Nutrition project to Ministry of Public Health by the end of 2015. PHCCs and SDCs are receiving additional support on screening and management of malnutrition. Child Protection In July, about 5,000 individuals, including children and women, residing in 50 informal settlements were evicted following an order issued by the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) in the Sahel area of Akkar. Prior to the evictions, UNICEF’s local partner AND (Akkar Network for Development) conducted information sharing session on the available GBV services. They provided psychological first aid to 130 Syrian women and dignity kits to 200 women who moved to the three newly established informal settlements in Qobbet Shamra. In addition, UNICEF’s CP partners have started providing PSS activities to 75 children who moved to the newly established informal settlements in Qobbet Shamara and Tal Abbas el Gharbi.
10 Ministry of Social Affairs (MOSA) staff from 7 Social Development Centres (Directors and Social Workers) and 36 newly recruited staff from the NGO ABAAD attended a series of trainings and workshops on GBV core concepts, safe and ethical referral of GBV survivors, GBV case management, and PSS in order to strengthen their capacities in GBV prevention and response. ABAAD will run 8 safe spaces for women and girls in SDCs in Beirut, Mt. Lebanon, North, Bekaa and South. Education In July, Ministry of Education and Higher Education conducted a two-day training of 692 teachers and started the new Accelerated Learning Programme (ALP) targeted at children that missed one year of school or more. The ALP, developed by the Ministry of Education and Higher Education (MEHE), provides subjects required by the official Lebanese curriculum, in addition to life skills and psycho-social support modules. Classes started on 21 July and enrolment continued till 8 August. The official number of enrolled children will be reported once available. To improve the learning environment, UNICEF is supporting the rehabilitation and renovation of public schools. In July, the renovation and/or rehabilitation work started in 61 schools and water samples were taken in order to decide which filtration system to use. MEHE engineers visited the sites to ensure implementation of MEHE standards and the ESP ‘’Effective School Profile’’ standards. WASH Following the distribution of plastic and steel bins in May, UNICEF provided 14 garbage trucks to the municipalities with the greatest need in the North and the Bekaa regions. These trucks, together with the bins, strengthen the municipalities’ capacities in collecting solid waste produced by both Lebanese and Syrian communities. In addition, Tripoli, Baalbek and Bar Elias municipalities are being equipped with a GIS system to ensure proper monitoring and to improve the effectiveness of the management of their fleet of garbage trucks.

Education
The success of UNICEF’s incentive program for Syrian volunteer teachers has led to rapid scale-up of the initiative, with 5,503 teachers currently supported monthly (exceeding the total sector annual target by 63%) – improving quality of learning for more than 175,000 Syrian refugee children. UNICEF partners completed construction of four new schools (Ceylanpinar Urban, Suruc Camp and Gaziantep Urban, Adana Yuregir), which will accommodate a total of 8,640 students in two shifts. With support from UNICEF the Ministry of National Education held a 12th grade examination open to all Syrians and Iraqis who have completed 12 th grade in Temporary Education Centers or who hold certificates indicating they have completed 12 th grade in their home countries. 7,423 students participated, with 40% passing the exam. Child protection In July 2015 about 3,517 refugee children have benefitted from psycho-social support in camp based child-friendly spaces, bringing the total of children up to 29,087 children since the beginning of the year (58% of the UNICEF 2015 target). Through this psycho-social support 518 children in need of specialized services were identified and referred. Using an innovative approach to extend psychosocial support to Syrian children living in host communities, 2 mobile Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs) have been established in partnership with the Turkish Red Crescent Society (TRCS) for use in Urfa Once operational they will serve about 100 children and adolescents per day. They will also serve as emergency units in case of new mass arrivals into Turkey and hence strengthen UNICEF’s capacity to provide rapid child protection response in the border areas. UNICEF has supported the establishment of 3 new community centers in Gaziantep; 1 in Şanlıurfa and 1 in Mardin which will offer a set of comprehensive life skills, including critical language classes, psychosocial services and peer-to-peer support for out-of-school adolescents and youth. 52,500 children and adolescents are expected to benefit from these programs over the next 12 months. In Şanlıurfa, 2 new safe spaces for adolescent girls will address their specific gender-related needs through specialized multi-sectoral support services.
