Proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions

Proportion of population living in households with access to basic services

Universal Human Rights Index (UHRI):

100.51. Continue policies and programs to improve the quality of basic social services provided to citizens, such as health care and education (Democratic People’s Republic of Korea);

60.The Committee notes that the Law No. 5510, enacted in 2008, includes stateless persons and asylumseekers within the scope of the Social Insurance and Universal Health Insurance Scheme. However, the Committee reiterates its concern at the geographic limitations to the 1951 Refugee Convention, under which only asylum seekers from European countries are granted refugee status, thus reducing protection to refugee children from non-European States. The Committee is further concerned at reports about numerous challenges experienced by asylum-seeking and refugee children, including with regard to receiving a residence permit – a requirement for accessing basic assistance, such as health and education, detention with adults and the lack of interpreters to communicate their situation of concern.

E. Cross-cutting concerns

Provide access to basic services to everyone living in the Turkish territory, regardless of their immigration status, in accordance with international human rights standards, including the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights . In particular, the requirement of the ID number should not be a bar for children to being admitted to the mandatory public school system or to receiving the health care they require.

Take great care in the terminology used when speaking about migration, and refrain from using incorrect terminology, such as the expression “illegal migrant”, as it can fuel intolerance, stereotypes, marginalization , discrimination and violence against migrants.

Establish a centralized mechanism for data collection, management and analysis of all migration issues – disaggregated by sex, age, nationality, status, socio-economic background , etc. – as a foundation for rights-based policymaking on migration. The data collection should include migrants in detention and deportations.

Support, both technically and financially, CSOs which offer services and support to migrants, regardless of their residence status.

14.The Committee notes with appreciation that the State party has welcomed more than 2.5 million refugees, mainly Syrians, and allocated significant resources to catering for their needs. The Committee is concerned, however, about the precarious and insecure living conditions of female refugees, both inside and outside the refugee camps, who are often deprived of basic services and essential goods, education, economic opportunities, health care, clothing, food, heating and hygiene articles, and are at heightened risk of sexual and other forms of violence. The Committee is furthermore concerned about:

(a)The significant increase of prostitution in areas with high concentrations of Syrian refugees, particularly among girls and young women between 15 and 20 years of age, who often resort to prostitution to be able to gain access to food and other essential goods for themselves and their children;

(b)The pervasive underreporting of gender-based violence against refugee women, including sexual violence, and the limited availability of specialized services;

(c)Forced marriages of refugee women and girls to Syrian and Turkish men, often in polygamous marriages, for socioeconomic reasons or protection purposes.

15. The Committee recommends that the State party take prompt measures to improve the security of women and girl refugees and asylum seekers, increase access to basic services and essential goods, including food, clothing and hygiene articles, for refugee women and their children and ensure that they are not compelled into sexual or labour exploitation. It recommends that the State party:

(a) Ensure access by refugee and asylum-seeking women and girls to education, training and livelihood opportunities and health care;

(b) Provide capacity-building programmes for law enforcement authorities on the strict application of the State party’s laws, including international conventions to which the State is a party, to cases of gender-based violence, including sexual violence, against refugee and asylum-seeking women and girls;

(c) Ensure that refugees and asylum seekers, in particular women, are informed about the national referral mechanisms for victims of sexual and gender-based violence and how to gain access to the formal justice mechanism.

Education and health

39.The Committee expresses concern at the level of disruption in the provision of basic services, in particular to education and to health care, including sexual and reproductive health care, as well as at the level of destruction of educational and medical infrastructure during the conflict. It is concerned at consistent reports indicating that schools and teachers and health facilities and medical personnel have been deliberately targeted by all parties to the conflict. The Committee commends the State party’s efforts to continue delivering such services, the challenging situation notwithstanding. It is, however, concerned about the:

(a)Increase in the already high rate at which girls are dropping out of school, along with the exacerbation of pre-existing patriarchal attitudes and stereotypes and the increase in child and/or forced marriage;

(b)Challenges faced by pupils, in particular young women in besieged areas or areas outside the Government’s control, in gaining access to programmes aimed at the continuation of their education;

(c)Difficulties in implementing the standard curriculum for all Syrians in schools established in displacement contexts and in areas outside the Government’s control;

(d)Deterioration in the overall health status of women and girls, along with the exacerbation of discriminatory attitudes that restrict women’s autonomy to make choices and decisions in relation to sexual and reproductive health, and the negative impact on pre-conflict positive trends, such as decreases in mortality rates;

(e)Reports indicating that pregnant women residing in areas outside the Government’s control have been denied access to medical care, in addition to restrictions imposed by the State party on medical and surgical supplies and aid for deliveries in besieged areas, all of which have forced women to give birth in unsafe conditions;

(f)Lack of access to health-care and psychological services for women and girls who are victims of rape, including emergency contraception and safe abortion services. In this context, the Committee is also concerned that abortion is legal only when the life of the mother is at risk;

(g)Financial and coordination constraints on the State party’s ability to assist and support the population in need adequately.

39. The Committee recommends that the State party:

(a) Elaborate a comprehensive development plan for rural areas with the full involvement of rural women in its elaboration and implementation and backed by sufficient budgetary resources with the aim of fighting against poverty and promoting new economic opportunities that will replace the cultivation of opium;

(b) Integrate a gender perspective into the programmes and activities of the Ministry of Rehabilitation and Rural Development;

(c) Take measures to ensure that rural women are the effective decision makers and beneficiaries of programmes and credit facilities;

(d) Strengthen its efforts to address the needs of rural women and provide them with better access to health, education, clean water and sanitation services, fertile land and income-generating projects.

w) the high standard of basic social services for its citizens, especially the provision of Government-funded educational and health-care services, including maternal and child health services

[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.

Monday 6th February 2023; The world woke to the news of a tragic earthquake that hit Turkey and Syria so badly, it was one of the greatest earthquakes to hit the region in decades, scores died and hundreds were injured and thousands were left hungry, homeless, and hopeless. It was such a pathetic situation, the magnitude of the earthquake, death, dearth, and destruction of course could not miss the media globally and for almost a week, this was at the center of the news globally. Globally many canvassed support for the affected countries of Turkey and Russia, and as a person and team we wanted to also help, unknown to us this was going to be the beginning of a lot of shocking revelations.

Wednesday 8th February 2023; I had a meeting with my team at Remostart, we decided that we will assist this community by

(I) providing little financial assistance to the few Syrians and Turkey citizens in our platform

(ii) Giving jobs to persons from this community as a means of aiding to cushion the challenge they are facing

Thursday 10th February 2023: We reached out to the few talents we had from this community, the first shocker we discovered was that Syria has been banned by the USA, and as such they do not have access to any payment infrastructure, they are totally cut off from all payment facilities that the rest of the world commonizes, this was a great shocker to me. Few of them prior to that time had any knowledge of crypto, so we had to start Cardano education before even thinking of helping them.

The other shocker was how it was hard to give most of them jobs, from the language barrier to complaints of having poor or no connectivity, to no laptop access coupled with other very valid excuses which is hard to comprehend from afar. After a month of trying, I realized that what they needed was more than just money, jobs etc, I got to realize that this challenge was not only limited to Syria and Turkey but a lot of the Arabic community, I realized that what but a community dedicated to helping each other. This is how I began nurturing the idea for an Arabic work DAO.

So before proposing, I decided to start a workgroup community on WhatsApp and Telegram for them, in the first month we had about 50 members, in the second month we had about 100 members and in the 3rd month about 250 members a link to this groups can be found here

As this community grows and her mission begins to expand, issues like treasury, governance etc among the community have begun to spring up it has become critical that we go beyond just a community on WhatsApp and Telegram to a functional DAO. This movement to the establishment of a functional Cardano DAO for the Arabic community is what this proposal seeks to achieve.

Functions of the Arabic work DAO:

(I) Organising seminars, workshops, etc that help its members better qualified for jobs

(ii) Seeking beneficial opportunities or job openings for each other

(iii) Training members on communication skills (Especially English improvement) to help them with interviews, communication with colleagues etc

(iv) Review CVs of each other and have HR ethics sessions in their DAO town halls

(v) Collaborate toward complex jobs or gigs

(vi) Offer translation services to the Cardano and other blockchain communities

(vii) Have work therapy sessions where they come together to share the challenges they face in the workplace and offer comfort to one another

(viii) help with the job-hunting process etc.

(ix) Provide cardano education to all its members

TREASURY:

As a DAO the treasury will be derived from

(I) Collective jobs and projects are done together

(ii) Percentage on translation jobs and gigs done in the ecosystem

(iii) Donations from other community members who have been helped and assisted to get jobs

The usage of the treasury will go into:

(I) faciltation rewards for those working in the DAO

(ii) Organising events and symposiums that will help improve her members

(iii) Paying for tools needed for the functioning and operation of the DAO

(iv) Paying for tools that will help improve the work productivity of the members

(v) Renting collective workspace facilities to help improve the productivity of the members

(vi) Assist with regional and community projects that will help the general Arabic-speaking communities

(vi) Provide help to their communities in instances of disaster.

The treasury spending will be determined by the collective votes of the community members.

GOVERNANCE: Like every other DAO governance will be key, the governance structure will be determined by community members of the DAO, we will in the period of the project assist them in effective governance structuring and be there till the first vote is done. All governance action will be instigated using ADA deposits.

WHAT WE NEED: For a start, we will need to assist this community with a lot before it can grow to become a self-functional DAO, this is what this proposal is seeking funding for. To get access to some very essential resources that will help the newly formed DAO to operate efficiently till when its treasury become sufficient to carry it through(approximately 6 months). We will need to pay for DAO tools and get access to all governance features, specifically, if we want to use clarity DAO for this project, we will need to pay for some AI tools like the Ai meeting summary tool etc. We will also need to employ someone who is well vested in DAOs who will teach the community on DAO, governance and practically ensure that they are capable of running by themselves before leaving completely.

[IMPACT] How does your proposed solution address the challenge and what benefits will this bring to the Cardano ecosystem?

Here are some excerpts from the campaign brief that shows how relevant this proposal is to them

What does success look like?

There are no better ways to manage your DAO than to use Cardano DAOs. From Small Business to Global Communities.. Cardano DAOs deliver.

Key Metrics to measure

• Number of Communities engaged in collaboration using Cardano DAO creation tools.

• Number of DAOs that use Cardano as governance/management chain in 6 months.

The first success of this challenge is in our ability to manage DAOs using Cardano DAOs in this case we are using clarity DAO which is a Cardano based DAO and we will be onboarding currently about 250 members of the community into the DAO, which means 250 new wallets and as the DAO grows this could mean thousands of new wallets as well.

Second, we are moving our Arabic community into a Cardano DAO which is directly important to the first metric in this challenge of engaging in collaboration using Cardano DAO creation tools which in this case is the usage of the Cardano Clarity DAO creation tool.

Finally, we are helping the challenge to increase the number of DAOs using Cardano as a governance/management chain.

[IMPACT] How do you intend to measure the success of your project?

The number of persons in the Arabic DAOs and the number of wallets opened directly contribute to the numeric growth of the Cardano ecosystem

The amount of money in the treasury of the DAO contributes to the overall volume of the ecosystem

The frequency of transactions in the DAOs means more fees going to the overall treasury of the ecosystem

The impact projects carried out by the DAO in the region, will give positive goodwill to the ecosystem and directly influence how people see the Cardano ecosystem

[CAPABILITY/ FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability?

As the CEO of Remostart, I have had the privilege of working with different student interns both for my company and for other companies which I link them to(which is part of what Remostart does) working with hundreds of these students has given me insight to the uniqueness of this demography and is why I feel confident that I can execute this project. This plus my organizational skill as a CEO makes me well-suited to handle this project.

Also, I had a fund9 funded proposal which was executed and brought to completion on time, this demonstrates that I can be trusted when it comes to managing funds properly.

Also I will be working with Newman who has had lot of experience mentoring projects and teams on Cardano DAO's

[RESOURCES & VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?

The most important costs here lie around facilitation, training and tooling. The project management cost is approximated using the cost in Syria and Turkey where our project manager is likely coming from.

For facilitation we will be working with the Facilitators Collective and the range of amount per meeting for facilitation is about 200 dollars which is about 700 ada, this mulitlied by 2 that is 2 meetings plus the trainers fee is how we arrived at about 2000 ada
