However, there is a need for improvement of information sharing on school registration, while financial constraints at family level to cover transportation, uniforms, books, and stationaries are negatively impacting access to education. Lack of access to education for children with disabilities also remains a challenge as well as a lack of essential documents for some of the youth and adolescents who wish to pursue higher education. 3,049,700 Refugees & Local Community Members al by end of 109% 669,122 3,156,909 al 104% 62% 44% 127% 461,832 599,793 58,673 143% 1,260,303 3RP al Funding Status $841 million $450 million 54% funded $119M $11M $450 million $8M $52M $260M 100% 115 out of 115 partners 55,646 children (3-5 years, g/b) enrolled in ECCE and pre-primary education 1,064,225 children (5-17 years, g/b) enrolled in formal general education 287,166 children (5-17 years, g/b) enrolled in non-formal education 1,371 youth (15-17 years, g/b) enrolled in TVET 150,638 teachers and education personnel trained (f/m) 3,951,720 children (3-17 years, g/b) receiving school supplies 2,443 classrooms constructed, established or rehabilitated 14,819 teachers and education personnel receiving incentives (f/m) 139% 90% 130% 29% 211% 163% 97% 40,150 1,188,708 220,090 4,810 71,430 2,418,634 6,874 15,289 Note: These dashboards reflect selected aggregate achievements of 3RP partners involved in the 3RP Interagency response in,,, and.

HEALTH AND NUTRITION In, approximately 2.76 million primary health care consultations were provided, and over 175,000 referrals were made to secondary or tertiary health care, representing 73 per cent and 76 per cent of the respective targets. Some highlights of the Health and Nutrition across the region in December include: In, 3RP partners provided 7,956 curative and preventive Primary Healthcare consultations to Syrian refugees in December. Among those, 3,831 patients were followed up and monthly treatment for their non-communicable diseases. Also, 1,590 under 5 girls and boys routine immunization and growth monitoring services. Meanwhile, within the resilience component, 3RP partners supported 139 public healthcare facilities.

BASIC NEEDS The continued strategic priority for the Basic Needs is to provide assistance to meet the ongoing basic needs of Syrian refugees, based on a multi-sectoral household profiling and identification methodology, specific to each country. Over 500,000 families have benefited from cash assistance and over 280,000 households seasonal support through cash or in-kind assistance (over 85,000 in December alone).

In, 11,676 households unconditional, sector-specific or emergency cash assistance in through the Basic Needs sector. In, Syrian refugees are spending less every year, reporting per capita monthly expenditures of USD 98, a drop of USD 6 compared to 2016 and USD 9 since 2015, a sign that households have fewer resources. Three quarters of Syrian refugee households have expenditures below the Minimum Expenditure Basket (MEB), unable to meet basic needs of food, health, shelter and education, while 58 per cent of households had a per capita expenditure below the Survival Minimum Expenditure Basket (SMEB), meaning they were living in extreme poverty. 6,620,600 Refugees & Local Community Members al by end of 42% 4,033,600 3RP countries as 31 December 2,744,951 al 41% 35% 48% 76% 1,276,202 763,345 169,000 25% 378,406 3RP al Funding Status $32M $12M $15M 57 $755 million $370 million 49% funded $186M $370 million $125M 31 65% 57 out of 88 partners 152,689 households receiving core relief items in-kind 68% 223,765 517,206 households receiving unconditional, sector-specific or emergency cash assistance 280,878 households receiving seasonal support through cash or in-kind assistance 68% 62% 761,035 454,940 Note: These dashboards reflect selected aggregate achievements of 3RP partners involved in the 3RP Interagency response in Eg ypt,,, and.

WASH The WASH response is facing a critical funding shortage, particularly in and. For example, at current funding levels in, partners will struggle to sustain services for 190,000 people living in informal settlements beyond April 2018. To pre-empt the funding shortfall, a shift from full service coverage is underway, to mainly focus on the most vulnerable, semi-temporary cost-effective water and wastewater facilities, and the establishment of a surveillance mechanism to identify possible communicable disease outbreaks and trigger an immediate Health and WASH joint response. Highlights of the WASH across the region in December include: In, throughout December WASH services were provided to almost 130,000 people including almost 70,000 children living in Zaatari, Azraq and King Abdullah Park camps. In, the WASH sector continued to provide sustainable, sufficient quantities of safe water, appropriate sanitation facilities and improved hygiene practices to about 83,000 refugees in camps, out of camp and in education and health facilities. However, the focus on the IDP response by donors has limited funding towards refugee response. Solid waste and wastewater management remain key areas which exit strategy has been challenging. There is a need to utilize surface water after treatment, which requires higher levels of investment but avoids damaging the environment by ground water extraction and is more sustainable in the long term.

LIVELIHOODS & SOCIAL COHESION In, Livelihoods partners assisted over 30,000 refugees and host community members with short-term and/or long-term employment opportunities and over 110,000 youth and adults in increasing their employability through job training, internships, job placement and language courses. Highlights across the region in December include: In, cabinet approved a 6th extension of the grace period for Syrian refugees work permits, until 30 June 2018. Some 4,459 Syrian men and women have been engaged in applied skills and technical training, while over 2000 have benefited from applied skills and technical trainings in. In, the economic situation for Syrian refugees in the Kurdistan Region, where the vast majority of refugees are hosted, continues to be a challenge. While some Syrian refugees are able to earn income participating in cash for work (CfW) activities inside camps, camp residents, who account for 38 per cent of the Syrian refugee population, are severely challenged to find private sector work outside of the camps due to geographical isolation from companies or factories. In, during, 46,655 Syrian refugees and host community members completed technical and vocational trainings and participated in skills training. In almost 1,500 people have been provided by training for livelihood purposes while around 1,000 have been assisted with access to self-employment. In, 35,859 individuals were trained and/or provided with marketable skills and services in. Livelihoods and income generation activities are particularly important given the finding of the Vulnerability Assessment of Syrian Refugees in that 36 per cent of Syrian refugee households have no working member. 570,800 Refugees & Local Community Members al by end of 46% 191,161 3RP countries as 31 December 193,311 al 34% 93% 5% 7% 7% 96,557 207,936 55,139 20,000 3RP al Funding Status $563 million $201 million funded $113M $20M $3M $1M $201 million $64M 48 58% 65 out of 113 partners 65 30,337 of individuals employed or self-employed including short term (cash for work and seasonal labor) and long term employment 110,892 of individuals supported to access to employment (training, internships, job placement and language courses) 64,456 of mixed groups supported in social cohesion initiatives (directly or indirectly) 46% 45% 59% 66,649 248,894 109,590 Note: These dashboards reflect selected aggregate achievements of 3RP partners involved in the 3RP Interagency response in,,, and.
