These dashboards reflect the humanitarian and resilience responses of more than 200 partners, including governments, UN Agencies, and NGOs, involved in the 3RP response in Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Achievements are cumulative from the start of 2016, while targets are based on full funding of the 3RP and an expected 4.69 million refugees by end-2016.
REGIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
In Turkey, 3RP partners undertook 982 interventions to assist Syrian families with special needs, including those at risk of and survivors of Sexual and Gender-based Violence (SGBV), persons with disabilities, as well as children at risk. The Protection Sector also continued to train government counterparts and relevant stakeholders, training nearly 1,500 individuals on international protection principles, SGBV and child protection. In March, a total of 1,360 Syrian individuals in Turkey were submitted for resettlement.
In Lebanon, administrative procedures on civil registration remain complex, making the completion of marriage and birth registration procedures for Syrian refugees very challenging. By end of March, 45,000 individuals were reached through community outreach activities to facilitate this process. Additionally, 12,800 persons were individually counselled mostly on birth and marriage registration processes both in the communities and in UNHCR Reception Centres.
In Jordan, the Sharia Court in Azraq Camp and the ARDD-legal Aid became fully operational during the month of March. This will allow access to legal services for Syrian refugees living in the camp, including on issues related to the Jordanian Personal Status Law, which includes marriage procedures, divorce, birth certificate, fixing kinship and custody issues.
In Iraq this month, 3,114 Syrians arrived in the Kurdistan Region through the Peshkabour border. In Erbil, the launch of a new protection monitoring tool in March helped reach nearly 500 Syrian refugees. The same exercise will be progressively rolled out in other governorates. Additionally, over 1,000 individuals accessed SGBV services this month, and over 7,370 Syrian refugees were reached with SGBV awareness raising campaigns.
