P2P Peacebuilding in Sierra Leone (Sierra Leone):  .The activity started in July 2023, and contributes to the prevention and mitigation of politically motivated violence through the people-to-people peacebuilding approaches in Western Area Rural, Kambia, Bombali, Karene, and Kono Districts. The interventions focus on empowering women and youth to have an increased voice and leadership skills as peacebuilders and actively contribute to the strengthening of national and local conflict prevention and management efforts. The project supports local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) at the forefront. Under the proposed project, sub-recipient CSOs are planned to receive 50% of the total grant amount. The activity will also provide tailored capacity strengthening support and accompaniment throughout, ensuring sustainability and long-term growth of the civil society space in Sierra Leone. The activity is oriented towards strengthening citizens' access to information, and meaningful participation of women and youth in decision-making regarding peacebuilding and conflict mitigation..
Social Incentives for Childhood Immunization vaccines can save an estimated two to three million children from deadly diseases each year and are globally recognized as one of the most cost-effective health and welfare interventions in low- and middle-income countries (lmics), yet approximately 25 million children still do not receive life-saving immunization. nearly 60 percent of deaths each year are related to vaccine-preventable diseases. there are sharp inequalities in full and timely childhood immunization, with the poorest quintile of children in lmics 13 percent less likely to be fully vaccinated than in the wealthiest quintile. in sierra leone, where fewer than 60 percent of children complete their first year immunizations, a research team incentivized timely immunization by having government healthcare workers provide different colored bracelets to children after their first and fifth vaccines to publicly indicate their progress through the recommended series of vaccines. a randomized controlled trial (rct) of this innovative social signaling approach found that it increased timely and complete vaccination by 14.4 percentage points from approximately 56 to 71.percent of children receiving their final first-year vaccine on time at an approximate cost of $2.30 per child. partners will adapt the bracelet program for government-led implementation and scale to 35,000 children in 320 clinics in sierra leone. partners will also conduct a trial on the use of bracelets after a sixth vaccine, and compare the efficacy of using bracelets against other behavioral nudge interventions such as mobile messaging. partners will also conduct scoping activities to assess the potential to expand the program to neighboring liberia, where only 51 percent of children receive all basic vaccinations, and nigeria, where 3.1 million children do not complete their first year vaccination series.
Scaling Up Aquaculture Program (Sierra Leone):  The Scaling Up Aquaculture Program is a Public International Organization (PIO) grant implemented by World Fish to assess the potential for fish farming and develop diversified integrated farming systems with fish, rice and vegetables to improve incomes, nutrition, land and water management. These results will be achieved through two 2 components (1) farming systems and value chain assessment-rice and fish value chain and inland valley swamp and (2) integrated aquaculture-agriculture and fish value chain intervention pilots. The goal of this pilot program, implemented in Tonkolili District, is to identify and implement interventions to improve productivity of rice- and fish-based farming systems and value chains in ways that deliver enhanced food, nutrition and livelihood outcomes. The project provides a foundation of knowledge and capacity for scaling interventions in aquatic-agricultural farming systems, particularly those associated with inland valley swamps.

Building Accountability Systems through Empowered Communities (BASE) Activity (Sierra Leone):  .The BASE Activity strengthens the social contract between six local governments and citizens in Sierra Leone by fostering increased accountability of local-level decision-makers to citizens on issues of importance to the community. This is accomplished through increasing effective and informed citizen and civil society participation in local government and political processes, and bolstering the capacity of local governance institutions to provide critical services and to be more transparent in their processes. The activity also bolsters democratic institutions and processes to enhance national cohesion and ensure that governance is inclusive, transparent, and responsive to citizens. Interventions support national, district, and local authorities and community leaders to effectively and peacefully provide transparency and oversight of government functions, ensure public participation in governance processes, build public confidence in the work of public institutions, and promote media freedom and credibility. Interventions likewise support citizens' and community understanding of and engagement in the fight against corruption. Throughout, priority will be given to maximizing women and youth empowerment and participation, including in governance and political processes, advocacy, networks, coalitions, and peer engagements. Activities will also address prevention and mitigation of sexual and gender-based violence including ending harmful practices against women and girls, and politically-motivated violence that targets women and youth..

Strengthening the protection of conflict affected populations in Iraq by improving access to gender based violence prevention and response services IMC proposes to support one women’s center in Anbar. The women’s centers will provide survivor-centered case management services to improve access to GBV and psychosocial support services. IMC will include community members, such as persons with special needs, female heads of households, adolescents, and the elderly among other often marginalized groups, during ongoing assessments and project implementation to ensure contextually-appropriate and tailored interventions that meet the unique needs of each group. In addition to direct service provision through static and mobile teams, IMC will strengthen the capacity of service providers and community-based groups to appropriately respond to GBV and ensure focused support for survivors, aligning with cluster priorities to support most at-risk conflict-affected populations. IMC will also develop a strong referral pathway for further access to specialized services depending on the needs of the survivor.

Please note: International Medical Corps (IMC) is an US-registered independent affiliate organization of International Medical Corps UK (IMC UK), with which IMC UK shares the same name and charitable objectives and mission. IMC UK and IMC work together to deliver assistance programs in an accountable and effective manner in pursuit of their commonly-held charitable objectives. IMC UK will engage IMC to implement its programs in the field, with IMC UK oversight, according to the terms and conditions of any agreement that results from this proposal and the terms of the parties’ administrative service agreement. IMC maintains a branch office in Croatia, IMC Split that provides administrative and operational support to IMC UK and to the programs on the ground, including but not limited to financial management, procurement management/international procurements, and logistics.
Provision of camp management services in formal camps and CCCM support and assistance towards principled returns for IDPs in informal settlements This project aims to support Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) living in protracted displacement in camps to remain open or transition camps in Anbar as well as to support vulnerable IDPs living in informal settlements through CCCM support. Both activities implemented by IOM’s CCCM Mobile Teams will focus on capacity building for local actors, critical site risk reduction and identification of and support to durable solutions where applicable. 

Key activities that will be implemented by IOM CCCM teams under this intervention include:
1) The capacity building of national site management actors and the establishment of coordination structures within formal camps, ensuring that relevant site managers and support staff can increasingly assume more responsibility in directly providing assistance to IDPs and increase access to services by other humanitarian actors 
2) Providing technical and material and/or in-kind support to formal and informal site managers in the form of On-the-Job Training (OJT), caravans for the hosting of management activities and staff (formal camps), as well as the necessary kits and supplies to carry out site management activities
3) Provision of support to formal camp management and local authorities in consolidating camps within Ameriyat al Fallujah (AAF) cluster based on Cluster Camp Consolidation Strategy and guidance and supporting vulnerable households within this exercise
4) Strengthening community mobilization through the establishment of self-governance structures and site representative networks which will engage the active participation of IDPs in the daily management of formal and informal camp sites
5) Collect up to date and reliable information on sites for dissemination to partners and Clusters and improve camp management’s information management capacity
6) Supporting site maintenance through cash for work (CFW) that will provide financial resources for basic site infrastructure improvements and fire safety equipment and training in order to minimize physical risk for IDPs.
Enhancing  GBV Prevention and Response Interventions available to highly vulnerable displaced persons and survivors brutalized by the exposure to violence residing in Newly reclaimed area of Baashiqa The combination of separate but ultimately intertwined crises that have happened in Mosul area which include being under ISIS control for 3 years, the repercussions from the fight to reclaim the villages from ISIS control and the recent internal political turmoil have all greatly weakened the protective space available to the persons of concern residing in these areas. 

These multiple fights have placed the girls and women at a greater risk of and exposure to, various forms of violence such as conflict related sexual violence adoption of negative coping strategies including forced/early marriage curtailing of their movement and domestic violence, all of which are attributable to the subordinate position they occupy in a strongly patriarchal society. Findings from an internal GBV assessment conducted in the area indicate that among other outcomes of the war  all of the families have in some way been directly affected by at least one of the above conflicts. This has resulted in separation of families – during flight and return loss of guardians/parents loss of life, limbs and property the lack of access to basic needs such as: food, safe water for drinking shelter lack of livelihoods due to mines and loss of their civil documentation. 

The impact of the above situation is worsened by the minimal / non existent GBV prevention and response actors as well as those from non GBV fields in these locations, which hinders the vulnerable persons’ ability to access information report and receive appropriate support on a timely basis. This was further complicated by new security guidelines which curtailed service providers' access to some areas such as Baashiqa,.


These project thus aims at, facilitating provision of GBV case management and Survivor support provide Structured Psycho social Support including Psychological First Aid Community with community members through:   door to door campaigns mass IEC distribution radio shows community dialogue sessions and focused group discussions conducting assessments such as safety aufits and service maping so as to identify and mitigate against new protection concerns. Linkage through structured referral mechanisms will also be facilitated more so to the legal sectors to ensure civil documentation is achieved.
SUSTENANCE OF MEDICAL SERVICES IN 3 PRIMARY HEALTH CARE CLINICS IN NORTHERN IRAQ AMAR provides 3 Primary Health Care Centres (PHCC) in Northern Iraq 2 in NINEWA governorate (MAMILIAN IDP Camp and ESSIAN IDP Camp) and one in ERBIL governorate (BAHARKE Village). This submission for support from the IHPF is intended to secure funding to allow these PHCCs to continue operating through 2018. Funding for 2017 was provided through the IHPF grant. Without additional funding from the IHPF the PHCCs risk closure.

The total catchment population for these 3 PHCCs is around 39,000 persons as at January 2018. The catchment populations include significant representation from minority groups like Yazidis, Christians and Shabak. 

The PHCCs offer enhanced primary health care facilities. These include, but are not limited to: General Practitioner (GP) services, laboratory services, dental services (2 PHCCS) and ultrasound (2 PHCCs). The PHCCs are specifically designed to provide gender specific services, including pre and post natal care, vaccinations and child health monitoring. Staff - who are all Iraqi - are selected from both genders to ensure all members of the served community are comfortable about seeking medical attention. 

In addition to services offered within the PHCCs, AMAR offers outreach programmes to reach patients in their homes through a scheme called Women Health Volunteers (WHV). This programme offers a mix of education in basic health and hygiene with early intervention health care. The former component is designed to reduce the incidence of easily preventable conditions. The latter component aims to improve clinical outcomes by encouraging early presentation. The schemes also work to enhance the self esteem of the volunteers who staff them.

Lastly, AMAR operates mental health services through the Escaping Darkness Programme. This is an Iraq wide scheme, operated by AMAR. of which these 3 PHCCs form part. The programme aims integrate mental health care into primary health care provision by providing training to clinicians and supporting them with volunteer Community Based Workers. (CBW).

While this bid for funding has been submitted for a 4 month period in accordance with direction from UN OCHA, AMAR is committed to providing these services for as long as there is a need and in this case, until at least January 2019.
Supporting lifesaving, essential primary, secondary and preventive health care services for  returnees, IDPs and vulnerable host communities in Ninewa, Anbar, Kirkuk, and Salah Al-Din Governorates Over 5 million Iraqis were internally displaced since 2014 among them 51% have returned to their place of origin, 12% remaining in IDP camps and balance 37% living with host communities in the displaced locations. Prevailing political and economic situation is anticipated to hinder the resettlement of the IDPs in some parts of Ninewa and Anbar governorates. Thus the biggest IDP camps existing in Ninewa, Anbar, Salah Al-Din, and Kirkuk are supposed to be operational for at least one more year. Concurrently, a considerable proportion of the IDPs returning to Mosul, Telafar, Hawijah, Anbar and Salah Al-Din have limited access to the essential health care services that have been damaged during the recent military operations and the conflict in the country over 15 years of war. The study done by the IOM among the returnees and IDPs in July 2017 revealed lack of services (including supplies) in returnee locations, similarly the early warning community assessment program (eCAP) conducted by WHO in August 2017 in Ninewa, Anbar governorates revealed, about 10% of the returnees have limited access to health care services, (11% of returnees’ experienced inadequate supplies in the hospitals) and 43% experienced expensive private health care services, The eCAP also revealed in adequate water and sanitation facilities, vaccination coverage and high prevalence of communicable and non communicable diseases including mental health disorders in the conflict affected governorates. Meanwhile, importation of medical supplies and equipment into the country and distribution to the conflict locations continue to be a challenge for healthcare service providers. 
Hence the WHO, Iraq strategically planned to 
1. support the PHC services through providing necessary medicines to treat around for 500,000 highly vulnerable individuals through the partners providing PHC services in very high-risk IDP camps and returnee locations using the procurement and logistics capacity of the WHO emergency response team
2. Provide PHC services including essential mental health care services for uncovered, isolated, highly vulnerable returnee locations and IDP camps using 9 MMCs provided by WHO to the DoHs estimated to benefit 43,200 returnees and IDPs
3. Provide essential equipment for two most affected secondary hospitals that have been supported by WHO to re-establish the initial operations and not fully functional to provide essential emergency care facilities in the Anbar (Al-Quim) and Kirkuk (hawija hospital) governorates using the procurement and logistics capacity of the WHO, estimated to benefit 200,000 returnees
4. Support early warning and outbreak response activities including water quality monitoring, vector and rodent control in the conflict affected governorates, estimated to benefit 4000 individuals.
Provision of common storage services to improve efficiency and cost effectiveness in support of the humanitarian supply chain in Iraq Through this project, the Logistics Cluster will continue to provide common storage services to the humanitarian community in Iraq, to enable partners to respond to the direct needs of those remaining in camps, while the voluntary returns process is ongoing. The project will focus on supporting strategic pre-positioning and consolidation of stocks country wide, both in centralized hubs and key operational field locations. The Logistics Cluster will also maintain an emergency response capacity of rapidly deployable mobile storage units (MSUs) available for loan to any humanitarian partners with additional operational needs, using existing in-country MSU stocks.
Establishing and running a delivery room in Hay Al-Bakir neighborhood in Heet district Dary's proposed intervention builds upon Dary’s existing health interventions in Anbar, Baghdad and Ninawa Governorates. This intervention will provide continuation of ongoing life-saving assistance while ensuring access to essential and quality health care services for returnees’ families in a manner that is accountable, conflict-sensitive and supports the government's responsibility as the first responder. Dary prioritizing the first-line response with front-line service delivery. This will always ensure access to essential, life-saving medicines, consumables, and equipment for reproductive and delivery (BEmONC)  health services for vulnerable populations. 
This critical and life-saving response will be carried out through establishing and running a delivery room in Hay Al-Bakir/Heet district where there is no other operational delivery room.  Dary will arrange training for the delivery room staff, in order to ensure that qualified staffs are able to provide quality health care service. 
The proposed project will be the continuation of the Dary's ongoing emergency and basic health care services. Dary will also continue providing technical capacity and support as necessary to the medical teams in order to provide high-quality care.
