This intervention aims to strengthen household economic resilience in Daraa Governorate by empowering women to engage in sustainable, home-based productive activities that generate income while remaining socially acceptable and contextually appropriate. The intervention adopts a development-oriented approach that focuses on transforming existing informal skills and domestic practices into viable, income-generating initiatives. By enabling women to participate economically from within their homes, the intervention contributes to improved household stability, reduced economic vulnerability, and gradual local recovery.
Years of conflict and prolonged economic deterioration in Daraa have significantly weakened traditional livelihood opportunities, increasing unemployment and financial insecurity among households. Women have assumed greater economic responsibilities in sustaining families, yet their participation in income-generating activities remains largely informal, unsupported, and constrained by social and structural barriers. This intervention addresses these challenges by providing targeted support for low-risk, home-based economic activities that allow women to generate income without exposing them to heightened mobility or protection risks.

The number of beneficiaries

Affected Population and Target Groups:
• Female-headed households.
• Women from economically vulnerable households.
• Widows and wives of missing or absent family members.
• Households experiencing loss or instability of income.
A broad segment of women and families in Daraa is directly and indirectly affected by the erosion of livelihoods and rising living costs.

Main Goals

Types of Assistance and Required Resources:
• Support for home-based productive activities, including basic equipment, tools, and raw materials.
• Small grants or in-kind start-up support to enable household-level initiatives.
• Practical training on small business management, pricing, and local marketing.
• Ongoing technical mentoring and follow-up to ensure quality, continuity, and sustainability.

This intervention focuses on safeguarding and strengthening human capital among university students in the Gaza Strip through a development-oriented approach that complements disrupted academic pathways. It aims to equip students with practical, analytical, and digital skills that are directly applicable in fragile labor markets and community-based initiatives. By bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world application, the intervention supports students’ ability to remain engaged in education, adapt to prolonged uncertainty, and contribute meaningfully to local recovery processes.
Event Description:
The protracted crisis in the Gaza Strip has severely disrupted higher education systems, limiting access to in-person learning, practical training, and early career opportunities. Thousands of university students face heightened risks of academic interruption, prolonged unemployment, and skills erosion, undermining long-term socio-economic prospects. In this context, development-oriented early recovery interventions are critical to preventing the loss of human capital and ensuring that youth remain active agents in resilience and recovery.

This intervention aims to support local economic recovery in the Gaza Strip by strengthening sustainable livelihoods for crisis-affected households and facilitating a transition from aid dependency toward productive, income-generating activities. The intervention adopts a development-oriented approach that prioritizes small-scale home-based enterprises, short-term employment with community value, and foundational economic capacity building. By focusing on locally driven solutions, the intervention seeks to enhance household resilience, restore economic agency, and reduce long-term vulnerability in a highly constrained operating environment.
Years of protracted crisis in the Gaza Strip have led to a severe erosion of the local economic base, widespread loss of income sources, and prolonged disruption of small and micro-enterprises. High unemployment rates, declining purchasing power, and market stagnation have significantly undermined household coping capacities. In this context, development-oriented early recovery interventions are critical to reactivating local economic systems, supporting self-reliance, and fostering pathways toward socio-economic stabilization. This intervention responds to these structural challenges by investing in people’s productive capacities and the revitalization of local livelihoods.

The number of beneficiaries

Affected Population and Target Groups:
• Households that have lost their primary sources of income
• Female-headed households
• Unemployed youth (ages 18–35)
• Workers and small entrepreneurs affected by the suspension of economic activities
Broad population groups are affected directly and indirectly by the deterioration of livelihoods and economic opportunities across the Gaza Strip.

Main Goals

Types of Assistance and Required Resources:
• Support for small and micro home-based enterprises, including productive grants, tools, and basic inputs
• Development-oriented cash-for-work schemes contributing to community-level improvements

Yemen suffers from weak local dairy production and heavy reliance on imports, despite having suitable environments for cattle farming in areas such as Taiz and Marib. Rural families lack modern capacities, with most milk consumed at the household level. Women have traditional skills in producing cheese and yogurt but lack technical and marketing support, while demand for fresh dairy products is increasing.

The number of beneficiaries

The affected populations are the rural communities in Taiz, Marib, and Abyan, who suffer from weak dairy production, lack sustainable income sources, and rely largely on household consumption without market access.

Main Goals

The requirement is to establish a model dairy farm (20–30 improved milking cows) and train 50 young men and women in cattle farming and dairy production. This will provide a decent source of income for 70 rural families, improve their nutritional status, and promote youth entrepreneurship in transport, marketing, and distribution.

Za’atari Camp, home to tens of thousands of Syrian refugees, represents a central and strategic location for implementing a return-oriented agricultural empowerment program. High levels of poverty and food insecurity, coupled with heavy reliance on monthly aid (around USD 21 per person), highlight the need for a project that reduces dependency by building agricultural skills that can be invested in upon return to Syria.

The number of beneficiaries

The number of affected people in Za’atari Camp is estimated at around 50,000 refugees, most of whom come from Daraa, Syria, where agriculture has traditionally been the main source of livelihood.

Main Goals

The requirement is to train 100 Syrian refugees in Za’atari Camp through a program that combines modern agricultural skills with agricultural entrepreneurship principles.
