Encouraging and facilitating the safe and voluntary return of IDPs to their areas of origin in Mosul City, Ninewa, Iraq The project aims at improving the water supply and the environmental sanitation conditions to areas of origin in order to encourage safe and voluntary returns of IDPs. 
Through emergency repairs aiming at supporting the governmental Directorate of Water (DoW) department in restoring a minimum supply of networked potable water to communities, ACF will assess locations for rehabilitation or repair in collaboration with the DoW.
Through emergency clean-ups and repairs to the drainage system, ACF will improve the environmental sanitation conditions in the targeted communities. In the months directly following the liberation of Mosul and surroundings, the most pressing WaSH need was to guarantee access to drinking water to civilians. This need continues due to the extremely high level of the damage to the water infrastructures in Mosul, but has also expanded to highlight the gaps associated with management of sanitation, including solid waste and drainage, in the community. These present both a danger to human health and the environment, as well as a significant eyesore, maintaining the perception of the community as dirty and uncared for. Solid waste itself can decompose and emit hazardous heavy metals or biocides that can directly contaminate surface and ground water supplies, or if ingested directly can be very hazardous to health. Additionally and most apparently to residents, solid wastes clog drains creating stagnant water and foul-smelling puddles or ponds suitable for insect breeding. There is the potential for larger floods during rains, and frequent localised flooding from backed up drainage that transports grey water from sinks or showers as well as storm water. This project aims at creating cleaner local environments that the community can take pride in, and that will present less of a risk to human health by improving the functionality of drainage from the removal of solid wastes and debris in the area.
Supporting Enhanced Access to Essential Vaccination, Nutrition, Neonatal and Child Health Care Services to Vulnerable Children and Women affected by emergencies. UNICEF will support revitalization of routine immunization activities for all eligible U5 children in the retaken areas Support sustaining vaccination activities for all children U5 in camps . In addition, protect, promote amp support optimal infant amp young child feeding practices with special attention to breast feeding amp complimentary feeding counseling for all affected lactating mothers and their babies. Management of malnourished children including screening, treatment and referral. Newborn home visit (and their mothers) will be sustained in all IDPs camps with timely referral services whenever required. These services will be complemented with provision of lifesaving health and nutrition supplies (including cold chain supplies/equipment, nutritional supplements, and anthropometric equipment) training of different level medical and paramedical staff on the basic maternal neonatal child health and nutrition - MNCHN services and focused C4D interventions.
Providing Access to Safe Water in Areas of Return in Anbar In line with the WASH Cluster Strategy, this project will focus on the delivery of WASH assistance to conflict-affected populations, including but not limited to, populations affected by protracted and secondary displacement, underserved returnees and non-displaced populations in Anbar Governorates. 

Under this project, NRC will deliver the following component in line with the 2018 WASH Cluster Strategy: Emergency work to restore critical water supplies for people living in returns areas of West Anbar

In West Anbar, a lack of water supply has driven people to use water from unsafe, often highly contaminated surface sources. Restoring water supplies through emergency repairs to critical infrastructure is a priority in these areas in order to limit risks to public health. NRC plans to restore the functionality of two water treatment plants in West Anbar, in close coordination with the WASH Cluster.
Provision of RRM dignity kits to highly vulnerable returnees and secondarily displaced families The humanitarian crisis in Iraq is entering a new phase. Combat operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) have ended and hundreds of thousands of displaced people are returning to their homes and communities. Humanitarian partners estimate that 8.7 million people across Iraq will require some form of humanitarian assistance. Nearly 80 per cent of the people requiring assistance are concentrated in Ninewa, Kirkuk and Anbar governorates.
Within above figure and according to Iraq HRP 2018, around 350,000 vulnerable individuals will require some form of support as they repatriate to their areas of origin. 
During 2017, RRM trends for new displacement indicate that those displaced required assistance multiple times - on average, 70% of the caseload had displaced more than once, and this was due to complex displacement routes, restrictions of movement and rigid security procedures which compelled displaced people to travel long distances, transitioning through a series of security controls and settlement types and spending varying amount of times at each location, as well as caseloads requiring support during camp consolidations and inter-camp movements, which were not adequately supported by regular assistance mechanisms. Since this trend is expected to continue in 2018, it is therefore estimated that RRM assistance will be required for additional 210,000 individuals, out of the 1.5 million people expected to remain displaced, to ensure they have timely access to basic humanitarian needs such as food, water, hygiene and dignity kits should they be impacted by similar circumstances
Second phase of measles, mumps and rubella vaccination campaign in response to a large-scale outbreak in Iraq (joint UNICEF/WHO project) The planned interventions aim to ensure that children 9 - 59 months are vaccinated with Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines throughout nine governorates (Al Basrah, Al Muthanna, Al Qadissiya, Baghdad (Al Karkh), Baghdad (Al Resafa), Diyala, Maysan, Thi-Qar, and Wasit) in Iraq to contain the current measles outbreak and to prevent other vaccine-preventable diseases with increasing incidence, namely mumps and rubella.
The C4D component intended to raise the families and care takers awareness about the importance of measles vaccination and the consequences of the disease in case the child is not vaccinated. This awareness creation will increase family compliance with the vaccination teams and decrease the vaccination refusal.
Humanitarian WASH Response for Long Term IDP communities within KRG The project lies within the WASH Cluster strategic objective to ensure that at-risk communities receive safe, sustained, equitable access to a sufficient quantity of water, sanitation and hygiene services. The project is targeted at conflict affected girls, boys, men amp women that have been living in protracted displacement in established camps in Sulimaniya, Duhok and Erbil Governorates. More specifically this project aims to improve and support the operation and maintenance of WASH facilities in camps to ensure continued provision of WASH services for the displaced and critically at-risk IDP families in Sulimaniya, Duhok and Erbil Governorates and in line with the IHPF / WASH Cluster priorities.

The project aims to support approximately 15,779 people in Erbil, 46,220 in Duhok and 17,980 in Sulaimaniya currently living in 14 existing camps. Activities will include operation and maintenance of existing water supply and sanitation facilities, water quality monitoring to ensure that it meets acceptable standards, upgrade sanitation facilities, decommissioning of some superstructures and solid waste management at cluster minimum standards, all in line with the WASH Response Guidelines against Settlement Typology.


The project is linked to UNICEF on-going efforts to reinforce WASH services and provision of improved WASH services in existing IDP sites supported by other funding resources mainly through OFDA, DFID, ECHO and previous funding from IHPF. As such this project, will complement current UNICEF interventions in supporting sustained response in Erbil, Duhok and Sulimaniya Governorates. 


The project will consider gender aspects, in particular needs of women and children are incorporated in the hygiene kits which they receive as part of overall response package (which includes female dignity items like sanitary pads) and hygiene items like baby diapers. It should also be noted that in an emergency context, women and children are at risk of disease, violence and loss of dignity, so the continued provision of operation and maintenance services will ensure those affected IDPs have increased access to safe, gender segregated water and sanitation facilities.
Equitable access to full package primary health care services for IDPs within Heevie static clinics at Shariya, Mam Rash, Kabarto 1 and Kabarto 2 IDPs camps in Duhok and Ninewa governorates The successive wars and crises in many regions across Iraq have affected the overall aspects of life of millions of population. This situation has resulted in thousands of vulnerable people throughout the country being deprived from the minimum standards of the basic life support services.

Duhok was among the governorates received the largest numbers of displaced people during the earlier stages of the crises and across the following time periods. In the current time, the governorate is hosting more than one million IDPs settled in 22 camps. The health needs of these IDPs and their big burden on the infrastructure of the governorate, in addition to the financial crises that is already exhausting the health facilities, necessitate urgent intervention to avoid any gap formation in the health service provision within the camps. The health care services have always remained of the cornerstone requirements within any response plan for the needs of the vulnerable populations, for this reason, sustaining the stable situation in all the camps, especially regarding the health programs is a critical issue.

Heevie is proposing to provide the access to full package primary health care services to the vulnerable people within 4 of the IDPs camps, Shariya, Kabarto I and Kabarto II IDPs camp in Duhok governorate and Mam Rash camp in Sheikhan district of Ninewa governorate.
Heevie is aiming to perform the primary health care service provision within the static clinics of these camps. This involves equitable access to full package of primary health services to the people in the camp and the surrounding communities through the below mentioned services:

1.	Supervision of communicable and non-communicable diseases
2.	Immunization services specially for under 5 year old children
3.	Better quality nutrition services
4.	Reproductive health care services (ANC, PNC and family planning)
5.	Health awareness and health education
6.	Health information system strengthened and EWARN system
7.	Referral services for secondary and tertiary care centers
8.	Laboratory services
9.	Radiological (Ultrasound) services.

Under the proposed project, Heevie will continue providing comprehensive primary health care services through the well-equipped static health clinic in Mam Rash camp. The site of the camp clinic was selected taking in consideration safe and easy access by all the beneficiaries.
Support livelihoods opportunities for highly vulnerable families in areas of return in Kirkuk  governroate An average of 8.7 million Iraqis will require some form of humanitarian assistance in 2018 and 2.8 million are expected to require livelihoods assistance. Kirkuk governorate is at the epicenter of the crisis, hosting a large amount of people in need of humanitarian interventions. As displacement becomes protracted, women face greater challenges as families resort to negative coping mechanisms under the strain of prolonged uncertainty and diminishing resources. Families are currently returning to retaken areas in Kirkuk governorates. Over 23,000 families have returned since 31 January 2018, although basic services and infrastructure remain largely nonfunctional in these areas. 

Relief International (RI) has been an active member of the Emergency Livelihoods cluster (EL) in Iraq, and is an implementing member of the EL Cluster response as part of IHPF 2016  in Kirkuk. Additionally, RI is the Kirkuk Livelihoods Sub Cluster Coordinator. Based on assessed needs in Kirkuk, this project responds to the EL strategic objectives for 2018, providing first line interventions for immediate response to vulnerable returnees, providing them with emergency livelihoods opportunities, cash for work, and equipping women with skills, tools and micro grants to rebuild their assets and regain dignity.

Through this intervention, RI is proposing a small-scale project in Hawija, Krikuk. RI will respond to immediate needs in Hawija by providing 180 vulnerable returnees with cash for work (CFW)  opportunities to rehabilitate government institutions using RI’s network through current WASH and Health programs in target locations, as well as local authorities to determine the infrastructure most in need of repair. =. RI already has the necessary permissions and acceptance from the community to operate in these areas, as well as the assessments of the needed rehabilitation works.

Furthermore, RI will provide 86 vulnerable female returnees, with micro grants of $500 for asset recovery and training on small business development, utilizing their skills in connection with local market demand. This combination of interventions, including the $500 grant, is proposed based on lessons learned with RIs previous programming through the OCHA, UNDP, RDPP-DANIDA and other donors.

In total the project will directly serve 260 vulnerable returnees, including 180 returnees (at least 10% women) with CFW opportunities and 80 women with assets recovery. Both urban and rural livelihoods opportunities will be available to women in target areas, based on their sets of skills and type of livelihood that they want to re-establish. Moreover, RI is already operational in Hawija through our existing Health and WASH programmes and so is well positioned to work here through this intervention.
Second phase of measles, mumps and rubella vaccination campaign in response to a large-scale outbreak in Iraq (joint UNICEF/WHO project) The planned interventions aim to ensure that children 9 - 59 months are vaccinated with Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccines throughout nine governorates (Al Basrah, Al Muthanna, Al Qadissiya, Baghdad (Al Karkh), Baghdad (Al Resafa), Diyala, Maysan, Thi-Qar, and Wasit) in Iraq to contain the current measles outbreak and to prevent other vaccine-preventable diseases with increasing incidence, namely mumps and rubella.

In order to adequately prepare the vaccination teams to conduct the vaccination campaign, the training will be provided. The training will cover how the vaccination teams can explain the purpose of the visit, ask to see all children under 5, including sleeping and sick children, vaccinate them, and record the vaccinated children in the registry book. The training will also cover how to mark the vaccinated children on the little finger of their left hand and keep track of any missed or absent children. In addition, the training will cover ways to encourage the parents to bring their children for routine immunization and inform them about the next round. Finally, the vaccinators will be trained on vaccine administration and management of any adverse events.

The transportation provided to vaccination workers will ensure effectiveness of the campaign because it will provide efficiency in serving the population in the hot climate. Considering that the vaccines are temperature sensitive, transportation to efficiently perform the vaccination activities is absolutely necessary for the success of this campaign.
Strengthening protection for women and girls and building capacity to respond to GBV cases in Ninewa by maintaining UIMS GBV centers work in Haj Ali, Namroud, and Salamiya camps The gender-based violence project is targeting 38,727(11,339 men, 12,038 women 8,970 girls and 6,380 boys) vulnerable Internally displaced people in Haj Ali, Namroud and Suramiya camps in Ninewa.
The United Iraq Medical Society will continue to provide a comprehensive and survivor-centered approach in case management for the GBV survivors to ensure they get timely support thus reducing exposure and more harm. Follow-ups will be done to assess the risks and to ensure the safety of the survivors. Psychosocial support will be provided to GBV survivors and all the clients reporting traumatic experiences at the women community centers.
The established women community centers will provide social recreational activities which will create a platform for the women to share their experiences and widen their network. The activities will be therapeutic and will enhance the recovery of the survivors of violence.
The awareness raising will continue at the camps targeting the entire population with key GBV messages and ensuring participation of the community members (men, women, girls, boys) in awareness raising activities. These activities will range from focus group discussions, community dialogues, mass campaigns and home visits. UIMS plans to focus on the engagement of the men during advocacy for gender-based violence as they are the custodians of the norms and cultures in the society. This will help to address the root problem of GBV and the power imbalances in the community.
UIMS will conduct mentorship programs for adolescent’s girls since this is one of the groups that are most marginalized. We will train mentors from the older girls who will mentor the young girls. The mentorship program will be designed that it will address the harmful gender norms that have been perpetuated in the society that the girls are of less value and they do not have the same capability as the male counterpart.
UIMS will conduct safety audits in the community to assess the risks faced by the women and the girls in the community and the findings will help to redesign the programming to ensure that the girls and women rights are not violated.
legal services will be provided to the activities as well by recruiting a well qualified lawyers who will be responsible for legal consultation, providing the necessary documentation that had been lost or even not issued as a result of displacement crisis and ISIL control, represent the IDPs in the local courts to get the marriage, death, and birth certificates, and following up the cases of detained persons with the stakeholders.
Integrated child protection and education services in  Qayarah Airstrip camp, Ninewa. The proposed action offers an integrated and complementary approach to meet critical child protection (CP) and education needs in Qayarah Airstrip Camp in line with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and Standard Allocation Strategy paper. The project deploys an integrated response that combines child protection, PSS, and education services with capacity building initiatives aimed at strengthening the capacity of a local partner. Children will have access to safe spaces within multi-purpose community centres where they receive: PSS, life-skills support, non-formal education, case-management, and referrals to other specialised services such as mental health and legal assistance. The selected location targets a HRP priority population to ensure camp populations continue to receive critical services and realise their rights. The project will target caregivers and community members through case management, PSS, capacity building, awareness campaigns, and community-based approaches to identifying and responding to protection issues. The project will address the specific needs of girls and actively seek female and male participation in community structures such as committees. War Child adopts an inclusive approach to disability and has staff already trained by Handicap International. WCUK will request Handicap International to conduct, or support with, site assessments to ensure facilities accommodate and are accessible to people living with disabilities. Training and monitoring on the implementation of WCUK's code of conduct and safeguarding policy will ensure that services are delivered in a protective environment.
Survey, Clearance and Risk Education in Ninewa and Kirkuk Governorates In line with the Humanitarian Response Plan 2018 and the Allocation Strategy paper, Danish Demining Group (DDG) the Mine Action Unit within Danish Refugee Council (DRC) proposes to implement its activities in the Republic of Iraq, focusing on two of the most vulnerable areas: Mosul district in Ninewa governorate and Hawiga district in Kirkuk governorate. To address the urgent humanitarian needs in these areas, DDG will deploy dual trained Risk Education (RE)/ Non-Technical Survey (NTS) and Battle Area Clearance (BAC)/ Spot Task teams. By doing so, DDG will support the efforts made by the Government of Iraq and subsequently the Directorate of Mine Action (DMA), in achieving their priorities with regards to the mine action response while mitigating the threats posed by explosive hazards in both Mosul and Hawiga.
Provision of specialized child protection services integrated with access to quality education for returnees and IDPs children in HAA2 camp and West Anbar The present proposal is focused on child protection and education services for IDPs and returnees children living in camps and urban areas. The proposal is structured in 2 main components:

(1) Provision of structured PSS activities integrated with non formal education for IDPs children living in HAA 2 camp (Ninewa Governorate). 4,000 children from 4 to 17 years old will receive general PSS and resilience building activities. Among them a group of at least 150 highly vulnerable children will be targeted with more structured psychosocial activities. 3,000 children in school age (6-17 years old) will have access to non formal education activities as bridge for a future enrollment in the formal school. 

(2) Provision of specialized CP services including case management and legal assistance in the returnees area of Al-Ka'im in West Anbar. At least 200 children from 4 to 17 years old will be identified as highly vulnerable or in risk and they will receive full case management services including referral to other actors if needed. At the same time 300 children without civil documentation will be assisted in order to complete all the legal process required. The legal team will also received the referral cases for children born in Al-Ka'im area but currently displaced in other areas of Anbar governorate and not able to reach Al-Ka'im court and civil affair office to complete the legal process for issuing civilian documents.

In addition to that the community based child protection mechanism will be strengthen through structure parental programs, awareness and information delivered and capacity building activities for community leaders and other key community members (local NGO staff, teachers, etc.).
