Syria and Türkiye Matching Fund – Humanitarian Coalition – 2023

FY 2022-23 · 2023-03-22

Summary
March 2023 – Since early February 2023, Syria and Türkiye have been impacted by multiple severe earthquakes that have resulted in over 40,000 deaths and significant damage to infrastructure. An overall estimate puts the people directly affected by the earthquakes at 9.1 million in Syria and 8.8 million in Türkiye. Needs assessments have revealed vulnerable earthquake-affected populations require urgent access to shelter and food assistance, water, sanitation and hygiene services, and healthcare. Global Affairs Canada launched an earthquake response Matching Fund in response to the elevated humanitarian needs in partnership with the Humanitarian Coalition and its members. Through this mechanism, the Government of Canada matches eligible donations made to the Humanitarian Coalition and its members for earthquake relief efforts up to a maximum of $10 million. Project activities include: (1) delivering emergency food assistance; (2) providing emergency shelter assistance; (3) rehabilitating water, sanitation and hygiene facilities; and (4) providing essential non-food items.

Description (French)
Mars 2023 - Depuis le début du mois de février 2023, la Türkiye et la Syrie ont été touchées par de nombreux tremblements de terre qui ont fait plus de 40 000 morts et causé d'importants dégâts aux infrastructures. Dans l'ensemble, on estime que 9,1 millions de personnes en Türkiye et 8,8 millions en Syrie ont été directement touchées par les tremblements de terre. L'évaluation des besoins a révélé que les populations vulnérables touchées par le tremblement de terre ont besoin d'un accès urgent à des abris et à une aide alimentaire, à de l'eau, à des services d'assainissement et d'hygiène, ainsi qu'à des soins de santé. Affaires mondiales Canada a lancé un fonds de contrepartie pour répondre aux besoins humanitaires accrus, en partenariat avec la Coalition humanitaire et ses membres. Grâce à ce mécanisme, le gouvernement du Canada verse à la Coalition humanitaire et à ses membres une somme équivalente aux dons éligibles pour les opérations de secours en cas de tremblement de terre, jusqu'à concurrence de 10 millions de dollars. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) la fourniture d'une aide alimentaire d'urgence; 2) la fourniture d'abris d'urgence; 3) la remise en état des installations d'eau, d'assainissement et d'hygiène; 4) la fourniture d'articles non alimentaires essentiels.
Expected Results
The expected outcome of this project includes increased access to life-saving humanitarian assistance, including food assistance, protection, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene services, for crisis-affected populations. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated, and human dignity maintained in communities experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Le résultat escompté de ce projet est un meilleur accès à l'aide humanitaire vitale, y compris l'aide alimentaire, la protection, les abris, l'eau, les services d'assainissement et d'hygiène, pour les populations touchées par la crise. Le résultat final attendu est que des vies soient sauvées, que la souffrance soit atténuée et que la dignité humaine soit préservée dans les communautés en proie à des crises humanitaires ou à une insécurité alimentaire aiguë.
