JOB CONTEXT:

After the fall of the previous regime, while remaining a protracted crisis, Syria is entering a new phase where pure humanitarian operations will side with early recovery and recovery interventions. According to the latest UN figures, about 15 million people remains still in need of humanitarian response, including about 6.5 million IDPs, while over 5 million Syrians refugees in neighboring countries or in Europe. Threats from explosive remnants of war, lack of recovery in both the health and education sectors make Syria still a fragile context.

· Support to health partners (mainly hospitals) for the provision of multi-disciplinary rehabilitation services (physiotherapy, assistive devices, prosthetics and orthotics and PSS).

· Provision of P&O

· Provision of early rehabilitation for malnourished children

· Humanitarian Mine Action, including clearance, advocacy, NTS and TS, and Education to the risks and effects caused by conventional weapons (including mines, explosive remnants of war and small arms light weapons).

· Community based protection for safe returns and support for the inclusion of persons with disabilities and other vulnerable people in the humanitarian assistance.

· Preparedness activities against manmade and non-manmade related disasters.

The actual intervention was so far managed based on a mix partnerships with local structures and organizations, and direct implementation programs.
