Description / Overview:
The project aims at improving MDG related service delivery through an integrated community development based approach. The key MDG areas that will be addressed by the project target three MDGoals related to poverty reduction, education and health. These specifically include: i) poverty reduction through employment creation; ii) access to and quality of education; iii) integrated health services and IV) environmental sustainability. This approach will be conducted in 24 villages in the eastern region, while only 6 of them, namely Khan Toman, Jafer Mansour and Mgheirat Shibli in Aleppo and Bsetien, Mueijil and Kabajeb in Deir Ezzor will be targeted in the 1st phase.
This project will provide a framework for the UNCT to demonstrate concrete impact on the ground and enhance local capacity for service delivery to meet the nationally agreed goals and prioritized development needs. The planned interventions also aim at demonstrating how targeted multi-sectoral integrated interventions, especially through enhanced service delivery, can upscale the achievement of the MDGs.
