About

Applications are now open for the Resilience and Livelihoods Activities in Deir Ezzor’s to improve productivity and incomes for targeted farmers by enabling them to enhance returns from degraded lands while receiving technical inputs and training.

The focus areas center on helping farmers manage salinized lands through targeted soil restoration, capacity building, and provision of essential agricultural inputs to improve productivity, food security, and household incomes.

They emphasize creating job opportunities, including for women, restoring 238.4 hectares of affected land for 197 beneficiaries, and promoting sustainable, climate-resilient agricultural practices.

The project also prioritizes community participation, preservation of natural resources, and enhanced crop quality while complementing previous WFP interventions and serving as a pilot aligned with climate change mitigation and sustainable food systems.

WFP now seeks to expand these gains by addressing soil salinization, which has rendered a portion of the land unproductive due to natural and human-induced factors such as climate change, poor land management, drought, and improper irrigation methods.

The current call for proposals targets areas within Al Mayadeen and Al Asharah sub-districts, focusing on villages covered under Sector 5, where 10 percent of agricultural land suffers from high or very high salinity. 

WFP invites qualified national and international organizations to propose interventions for soil washing, improving soil properties, provision of suitable agricultural inputs, and farmer capacity building. 

These activities will support affected households from November 2025 to August 2026 and will be implemented in coordination with the Directorate of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Centre.

The cooperating partner will conduct needs assessments, verify beneficiaries, manage procurement processes, and deliver community-based rehabilitation using either cash or food for assets modalities.

Training on operation, maintenance, protection, gender inclusion, and accountability is required to ensure sustainability and safeguard all involved. Organizations must also maintain helpdesks at distribution sites, ensure gender-balanced staffing, adhere to PSEA and protection guidelines, manage referrals, and coordinate with local authorities.

Partners must demonstrate strong operational presence, valid registration, sound financial and procurement systems, anti-fraud and protection safeguards, and the ability to meet WFP’s reporting and monitoring requirements.

Additional expectations include community engagement, accessibility assurance, integration of gender and protection measures, and the capacity to manage beneficiary entitlements effectively.

Eligibility

Interested organizations must submit a complete proposal through the UN Partner Portal by 15 December 2025, along with all required documents, including the narrative proposal, assurance statement, accessibility declaration and updated institutional policies.

The submission must be accurate, complete and aligned with WFP’s standards, as any false information will result in disqualification.
