Provision of Emergency Shelter and NFI Support to IDPs displaced by conflict from Hawiga During this four-month initiative, ACTED will procure and pre-position emergency sealing-off kits (ESOKs) and mobile non-food item kits (MNFIs), and distribute them to IDPs fleeing the Hawiga offensive, targeting the Shirqat District, Salah-Al-Din. 

This first line response will promote the safety and dignity of families affected by conflict by ensuring that they have 1) access to shelter conditions which meet minimum standards and 2) access to critical life-saving non-food items. 

This project will use a mobile team approach which will enable a flexible approach that can respond quickly to rapidly changing situations and provide services where gaps exist. 

The proposed activities are part of a mobile intervention which also includes a CCCM team, and referrals to ACTED Child Protection teams will be made wherever necessary. 

The intervention will target 10,500 IDPs living in unfinished living in collective shelters or damaged / unfinished buildings. A total of 1,750 ESOKs and 1,750 MNFIs will be distributed to households, and wherever possible each family will receive each of the kits. The make-up of the kits have been based on technical guidance by the Shelter-NFI cluster and adapted based on the results of post-distribution monitoring results of previous SNFI ACTED projects. The MNFIs provide an effective first line response that can cover the essential NFIs needs of a family of 6 for two weeks, and the ESOKs will ensure households are able to improve their shelters to standards which promotes privacy and dignity, which is protected from the climate and which adheres to minimal standards of health, safety and security.
Provision of immediate assistance to conflict-affected populations in under-served and hard to reach areas of Iraq (Tel Afar district, Ninewa Governorate). The FRC and Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS) proposal is designed to scale-up the immediate response to identified humanitarian needs, gaps and constraints linked with the current operations to retake Mosul, Tel Afar and Ninewa governorate. Lots of conflict-affected populations have fled the area of combat and many more are expected to flee the ISIL controlled-territories or to be trapped in the areas of combat. The rationale for this intervention is based on the fact that authorities are overstretched and under-resourced, undermining their ability to respond to urgent critical needs. In addition, the volatility of the situation and the difficulty to access violence prone areas make difficult the provision of an immediate response by humanitarian actors. 

This analysis led the IRCS and FRC to design a project aiming at filing the gaps of the humanitarian assistance, as a first line responder, addressing the basic needs of the newly IDPs and host communities (1800 HHs) by pre positioning and distributing standardized non food item kits in hard to reach locations, Tel Afar sub-district through a Rapid Response Mechanism (72h).This action will be the opportunity to strengthen the operational capacity of IRCS to provide an emergency response to large scale disasters. 

The response must also be planned with a high degree of flexibility and the project locations may have to be revised to take into account sudden or unforeseen population movements of the IDPs.

Direct beneficiaries will be newly IDPs and host communities in hard to reach areas, in need not covered by humanitarian assistance because of security issues and/or geographical constraints. Beneficiaries will be targeted through an identification process built on vulnerability needs and coordinated humanitarian assistance system. The project aims at providing NFI assistance to an estimated 1800 households, particularly women, children, the elderly and the most vulnerable families. Assistance will help newly-displaced and accessible persons as well as existing vulnerable population in hard-to-reach areas to meet their immediate needs.
Improving Access to Livelihood Opportunities for IDPs, Returnees, and the Host Community in Diyala Governorate DRC proposes to deliver emergency livelihood activities in two areas in Diyala Governorate—al Muqdadiya district and al Mansouriyah sub-district in al Khalis district—to 455 conflict-affected direct beneficiaries. The intervention aims to support returnees, host communities, and IDPs reintegrate into social and economic structures through short term Cash-for-Work activities (300 beneficiaries, including 15 CfW supervisors), and asset replacement (150 beneficiaries). In addition, cash for work beneficiaries will receive life skills training (CfW supervisors will not receive the training as they are expected to have higher education and skill levels), and asset replacement beneficiaries will receive business management training. The 450 direct beneficiaries will include 181 IDPs, 180 returnees, and 89 host community members. DRC will strive to ensure that 20% of beneficiaries are female, across all population groups and locations. These activities have been selected based on specific livelihoods needs in Diyala, and gaps in the market. In addition to the 450 direct beneficiaries, it is anticipated that 2250 of their family members will benefit indirectly from this action due to households' improved financial situation and capacity to pursue livelihoods. Furthermore, positive economic effects from this project are expected to cascade through targeted communities, due to the overall enhanced capacity of residents to generate income, employee their neighbors, and contribute to the local economy.
Provision of emergency, life-saving WASH assistance to vulnerable populations affected by the Mosul conflict Ongoing military operations to retake Mosul have caused large-scale displacements and massive destructions to the city infrastructures, thus resulting in a major humanitarian crisis. To date, it is estimated that 400,000 people remain in Western neighborhoods of Mosul with very limited access to humanitarian assistance. In addition, more than 235,700 people have fled from west Mosul and are currently displaced in camps and emergency sites, with the majority being located in the southern corridor of Mosul. Provision of drinking water is one of the key priorities, in both areas. Humanitarian actors’ capacity in displacement sites are currently overstretched and drinking water resources are scarce. In Mosul city itself, access to safe drinking water is also urgently needed as water service provision have been almost entirely disrupted by the ongoing offensive, and people are currently relying on unsafe sources of water. 
SI is already actively participating in the WaSH response through the installation of an emergency surface water treatment station in Hamam Al Alil (HAA), which has an estimated production capacity of 900m3 per day. This water is currently being made available to humanitarian actors active in the southern corridor (mainly Oxfam and NRC) and in West Mosul (SI and ACF in the short run). Through the proposed intervention, SI together with NRC will scale up the current response through the following:
1) By continuing to operate the existing SWAT in HAA until end of August (when other more durable water provision system will be rehabilitated), therefore providing water with a capacity to cover 120,000 people (delivered through SI and other humanitarian actors)
2) By setting up another SWAT system, in partnership with NRC, closer to Western Mosul (Abu Saif) where needs are expected to grow with newly areas becoming accessible and to reduce the time and costs for transportation of water towards West Mosul
3) By providing emergency WaSH assistance in Western Mosul, including distribution of drinking water via water trucking (using the water produced in the SWAT) for an estimated 30,000 people (covering two neighborhoods), distribution of hygiene kits, hygiene messages dissemination.
The proposed approach is in line with both the IHPF and the WaSH cluster strategic priorities 1 amp 2. 
SI will continue to ensure a close coordination with all involved stakeholders to deliver a rapid, efficient and targeted response, guaranteeing equal access to water and sanitation for all women, girls, boys and men in the targeted project locations through the most- cost-effective solutions. Therefore, SI will rely in its globally demonstrated WASH expertise and on its presence in the area and its on-going programmes.
Child Protection project to respond to needs of children affected by the conflict and promote awareness and prevention of children exposure to risks in Salah al Din, Kirkuk and Ninewa Governorates. The project aims at responding to the extreme exposure to violence and distress that children faced during the last three years and following the on-going military operations to retake Hawija area from ISIL control. The project intends to intervene through three major axes in newly retaken and hard-to-reach areas.
1) At-risk children will be promptly identified and registered by Tdh’s CP teams in critical sites of intervention (such as screening and receiving centers and hard-to-reach and newly retaken areas). A hotline will be set up in Salah al-Din governorate to facilitate referral of Unaccompanied and Separated Children (UASCs) to military, governmental and health authorities.

2) The most vulnerable children in need of specialized protection will be assisted with provision of case management. Identification of such children will be done through awareness raising sessions, focus groups discussions, bilateral consultations with all stakeholders, referral by civil society organization or humanitarian partners, coordination with education authorities, the CCCM Tdh’s staff and Tdh’s UASC Hotline.

3) Tdh will provide PSS, PFA and basic child protection services through a mobile approach in screening points, hard-to-reach and newly retaken areas. CP mobile teams will provide children with spaces and/or activities, aiming to promote temporary relief and a sense of safety in such a moment of stress and hardship. Moreover, awareness campaign and outreach activities will strengthen understanding of CP concerns among the conflict-affected population and support the community-based response to PSS needs and prevention.
Multi-sector Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) response to displaced populations affected by military operations in Western Mosul (Joint Project UNFPA, UNICEF, WFP) With the intensifications of military operations along the Mosul Corridor and the city itself, massive displacements are expected to continue into 2017. According to the Humanitarian Needs Overview, it is estimated that over 1.2 million people will be displaced across the country mostly from Western Mosul City and along the Mosul Corridor especially Hawija, Salah al Din and Anbar. As part of the Western Mosul Response, RRM is planning to reach 250,000 displaced people and vulnerable host communities in newly retaken but hard to reach areas. The Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) responds to emergency needs when there is rapid, large-scale population displacement delivering immediate, life-saving supplies to families on the move as they flee conflict. The immediate delivery of RRM and Multi-sector emergency package (MSEP) assistance provides a critical component of the overall sequenced humanitarian response to the internally displaced people before they receive cluster assistance.
Improvement of infrastructure, emergency shelter upgrade and provision of protection services in Nimrud Camp The Military operations to retake Telafar city from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) began in the 20 August 2017. Telafar city, in Ninewa province, fell under the control of extremist armed groups in 2014. Mustering points were activated on 14 August and in the week prior to the onset of hostilities almost 19,000 people fled, doubling the total number that fled in the previous three months. Numbers fleeing decreased dramatically in the following days, and by the end of August only one mustering point remained open. At the end of August approximately 43,000 people are displaced from the district. (OCHA Iraq Humanitarian Bulletin August 2017 | Issued on 1 September)

Salamiya Nimrud camp was set up by MoMD with a total of 3,600 plots. Tents have been erected in all the plots and has 288 communal caravans for latrine and showers, 72 water tab stand and 288 cesspools. The camp also has feeder roads with crashed gravel spread between the tents. At the request of Nenewa Governorate, UNHCR took over the running of the camp in the last week of August when the camp opened. As at 09 September 1,857 IDP HH were registered at the camp. UNHCR needs to rehabilitate the roads and the road side drains at the same time raise the tents to mitigate against the risks associated clogging as a result of the high water table.  Similarly, UNHCR will provide services in areas where protection needs and gaps are identified with a flexible and mobile approach allowing the teams to timely respond to needs where these are identified.
Supporting  the lifesaving health care services and outbreak prevention and response facilities for the  IDPs from Hawija settling in Kirkuk, and Salah Al Din Governorates The military operations in the western Kirkuk governorate (Hawija) expected to displace around 60,000 people in and around the operation areas. The IDP movements are expected to be on the west towards Tikrit and in the East towards Kirkuk. The recent assessment made by health cluster partners in the two governorates revealed that there are 3-4 hospitals on both sides and there are 5 PHCs inside the Hawija, further there are 4-5 PHC centers in the IDP camps and screening/mustering points on both side serving the IDPs. The new influx would increase the case load of the existing camps and clinics and expected to cause outbreaks of common communicable diseases like, measles and cholera, shortage of medicines and medical supplies in the health facilities. The high risk for communicable disease outbreaks coupled with inadequate disease surveillance and response system will require establishment of a robust disease early warning and response system. Ensuring access and uninterrupted availability of life-saving medicines, medical consumables, emergency health kits, surgical, trauma kits and cholera kits will be a priority to support the existing health system to bear the new load. WHO Iraq will use its capacity to procure and distribute necessary standard inter agency emergency kits and medicines necessary for the emergency response. 

Under the project the WHO will  focus on reducing morbidity and mortality on the frontline and in newly accessible areas by 
1.	Strengthen the existing health facilities (including all PHCs and hospitals) with necessary additional supplies of interagency emergency kits, medicines and other essential supplies. Under the activity WHO will pre-position lifesaving medicines and medical supplies for IDPs in camps and in host communities. During the Hawija operation, WHO will support MOH, DOH and partners by providing essential medicines, medical supplies and kits through operating the main warehouse in Erbil. WHO with its privileged relationship with MoH, will procure, store and distribute medications to serve its own operation as well as that of the health cluster partners.

2.	Improve diseases surveillance and outbreak response capacity in the IDP settling locations through establishing new sentinel sites and rapid response teams. Under the activity WHO will establish the outbreak detection and response mechanisms for disease outbreaks in locations where displaced people are likely to flee and temporarily settle in. The EWARN systems will be strengthened in local communities to ensure rapid detection, treatment and management of epidemic-prone diseases given the increased public health risk including cholera and measles. Vaccination will be prioritized to deal with the expected low antigen levels of IDPs fleeing Mosul. The following vaccination response is proposed:
Provision of education and child-protection life-saving assistance through preparedness and first line response in favor of conflict-affected children in Ninewa Governorate. Based on the analysis of the current situation and the experience gained in Iraq, INTERSOS intends to extend its education programme to contribute towards enhancing access to quality education that incorporate child protection issues, increasing access to safe and protected educational environment for girls and boys, across Ninewa Governorate (in particular Hamdanyya district). These areas are currently concerned by prolonged displacement and, with the intensification of the military operations in West Mosul, an increase in the number of IDPs is expected, together with the number of people in need of assistance. The overarching objective of the intervention is to guarantee the effective continuation of the activities already started and to expand the scope of EiE and CP activities, capitalizing on lesson learnt and good practices. The proposed intervention focused mainly on ensuring first line education in emergency response in camp setting (Hasansham M2 and Salamya), in close complementarity with child protection activities, based on a mobile approach aiming at reaching also out of camps locations that are currently underserved and, if needed and with the due security clearance, mustering points. Specifically, through the establishment of TLSs and mobile child protection activities, the project aims at continuing to help children returning to a normal routine, contributing to the child’s emotional security and positive cognitive and physical development. 2 TLSs have already been established in Hasansham M2, and one TLS in Salamiya 1 camp the present proposal wants to maintain the 3 mentioned TLS and add a second TLS in Salamya 1 camp, as discussed with the Education Cluster. Targeted beneficiaries will include: girls and boys aged between 4 and 17 years old among displaced, including newly displaced people, and/or newly accessible people (returnees and/or remainees). Disabilities, minorities, age and gender will be taken into consideration throughout this proposed intervention.
Provision of emergency latrine and shower facilities and repair of water supply infrastructures in support to the people affected by the Mosul crisis The proposed project aims to provide emergency water and sanitation support to vulnerable people affected by military operations in Mosul. The project is composed of two key activities: (1) First-line response to supply safe drinking water by installing/rehabilitating key water supply network and water treatment units in Mosul and/or surrounding areas and (2) Second-line response to ensure needs of female and people with disabilities are better addressed in existing camps/emergency sites by installing emergency latrines and shower facilities.  

Under the first activity, UN-Habitat will rehabilitate up to 1 kilometers of water supply network, up to 2 water treatment units depending on level of damages, and install/rehabilitate critical water equipment such as water tanks, taps, pumps and valves in key locations in Mosul and/or surrounding areas as identified in coordination with the WASH Cluster. Activities will be prioritized in close collaboration with the WASH Cluster and might be modified depending on emergencies at the field level

Under the second activity, UN-Habitat will install 80 emergency latrines and shower facilities in camps/emergency sites. UN-Habitat will prioritize a gap filling strategy by targeting primarily females and people with disabilities in locations with a shortage of sanitation facilities. This will result in enhancing protection and dignity for women, girls and people with disabilities, while supporting attainment of minimum WASH standards.

UN-Habitat strategy is to keep as much flexibility as possible in order to implement activities in areas with the largest needs. In that regard, coordination with the WASH Cluster and other WASH partners will be central in the determination of target locations and activities.  

The project will directly benefit 64,000 vulnerable people, including 17,850 women, 14,350 men, 17,775 girls and 14,025 boys in Mosul and/or surrounding area, including 4,000 through provision of emergency latrines and shower facilities : 70 latrines /shower for 3,500 people (1,750 women, 1,750 girls) and 10 latrines/shower for 500 people with disabilities (100 women, 350 men, 25 girls and 25 boys)
Rehabilitation of 40 schools, within Heet, Haditha and Al Baghdadi, Al Anbar governorate. The objective of the proposed project is to conduct an education in emergency project by rehabilitating 40 schools within Al Anbar province, specifically in Heet, Haditha and Al Baghdadi. The assessment identified numerous schools that needed urgent school rehabilitation and the need for a “back to learning” awareness campaign.

The project comprises of second line response activities by helping to improve the quality of learning for highly vulnerable girls and boys aged 3-17 by: Rehabilitating damaged or used classrooms and conducting a back to learning awareness campaign. 

In all of our project implementations, RIRP attempts to involve members of the local community (in addition to the beneficiaries), in project assessment, planning, preparation and realization. The aim is to deliver gender and culturally appropriate services taking into account the special needs of all vulnerable groups, with a strong focus on and the aim of ensuring safe and equitable access for all beneficiaries, specifically considering the most urgent needs of girls, boys and women.
