Oxfam Cash for Protection Project (CfP) The aim is to provide cash assistance to up to 275 households, representing approximately 1,650 individuals in the governorates of Ninewa and Salahadin with an average payment of GBP115 per individual. In line with internal cash for protection guidelines (Annex 1), a payment will be made to individuals or families based on the threats, vulnerabilities, exposure, and capacities identified and assessed.  Oxfam follows a risk reduction model that reduces risk to the individual or their family by addressing the threats, vulnerabilities, amount of exposure, and the current capacity they have to respond. Payments will be disbursed in the allocated timeframe, dependent on urgency of the case. A referral process is established through Oxfam fieldworker referrals, external service referrals, and peer referrals by existing community based structures. Based on the referral process, team will conduct assessment to analyse the type of needed support for identified beneficiaries.
TAKHATEB - Facilitate inclusive dialogues and participation in Diyala & Ninewa The project's expected outcome is defined as follow: "Civil Society Organisation (CSO), communities, and local authorities are committed to conduct inclusive dialogues to address socio -economic challenges linked to climate change and access to public services in Ninawa and Diyala governorates". To achieve this outcome, Oxfam's intervention will be articulated around three outputs:   1. Dialogues between communities and local authorities are implemented to address issues related to climate change and limited access to public services.  2. Capacities of CSO, communities, and local authorities to implement dialogues on climate change and access to public services are strengthened. 3. Good practices and lessons learned on inclusive dialogues are documented to be disseminated and scaled -up.
MPCA to Meet Critical Basic Needs Among Vulnerable Conflict-Affected households The project is aiming at supporting the most vulnerable families of returnees and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Salah al -Din Governorate  through direct Multi -Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) that would enable the vulnerable families to cope with the situation and in turn reduce negative coping mechanisms.
Unconditional Cash Transfer Support to Vulnerable Households in Northern Diyala This project will build upon Oxfam's existing work in Northern Diyala and continue to reach the under -served priority beneficiaries in contested areas.  The main reason for prioritizing the intervention is because it seeks to work with the underserved populations of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and Returnees in Northern Diyala. There is an immense gap in services provided by INGOs in Northern Diyala, and just a few humanitarian actors in a position to offer assistance to returnee households in areas such as Saadiya and Jalawla, with more focus on the north in Dohuk. Many organisations are confining their assistance to camps and the areas immediately around them and are not working in contested areas.   Another key justification for this request is that the project will provide cash support to extremely vulnerable Returnees and IDPs to help them meet their basic needs. Many Returnees are trying to make ends meet in communities where major assets have been destroyed and severely damaged, and livelihood opportunities are non -existent. Several IDPs have now been displaced for more than a year, and as such are facing a diminishing ability to provide for themselves because livelihood opportunities are limited, and their personal resources are being depleted. With many IDPs living in rented accommodation, and having no access to their previous livelihoods, they are beginning to exhaust what money they have, and to engage in negative coping strategies like selling livestock and their other limited assets. The reality for many of the IDPs is that they either do not even have assets with them to sell, or have sold them already, so instead have reverted to borrowing money from already stretched family members, and to reducing the size and frequency of meals. Since they have left their location of origin, many families are no longer receiving their Public Distribution System (PDS) food benefits, due to a slow registration process in Baghdad, meaning their existing cash m
Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance for the Most Vulnerable, Conflict-Affected Househo This project aim to provide first line and second line multi -purpose cash assistance (MPCA) to households affected by conflict in -and around. Cash Working Group -identified priority areas of return, specifically in Tel Afar district in Ninawa, and Jazeerat al -Khalediyah, Ana, and al -Ka'im districts in Anbar. This direct support for 1,250 vulnerable households will seek to reduce their reliance on negative coping strategies by enabling households to meet their critical basic needs.
Integrated Response for Returnees in Conflict Affected areas of Central Iraq-SAD The project will contribute towards the change goals of Oxfam Country Strategy by supporting WASH, Shelter, Gender and Protection interventions. Oxfam aims to build resilience in conflict -affected areas by rehabilitating existing basic services and providing longer term interventions in the areas of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) in partnership with local authorities. In addition to supporting the most vulnerable returnee's households to repair the shelters.  Oxfam also aims to strengthen Iraq's existing social protection floor by complementing existing social welfare schemes and advocating for sustainable improvements in such systems. Oxfam's one Program approach means that this program, which is predominantly a first -line response targeting immediate needs, will lay the foundations for longer term projects, when the context allows. The project will be implemented in Salah al -Din governorate ( Baiji and Shirqat districts).
Support survivors of sexual gender base violence with sustainable livelihood Oxfam Iraq's project will seek to empower 100 women at the household level through providing training and cash grants for small businesses. With access to their own income, this will change women's role from a dependent to a provider, and improve their status within the home. In turn, this will address the power dynamics that continue to drive Gender Based Violence/Sexual and Gender Based Violence (GBV/SGBV). Where possible, Oxfam Iraq will also promote and favour collective initiatives that bring women together. Additionally Oxfam will partner with local organisation to ensure that the project is community driven, and is sensitive to the context. Where possible, the beneficiaries will shape the structure of the project; for example, the final capacity building session under Output 1.1.2 will be chosen by the participants. The peer educators will be offered support through Oxfam and Iraq Al -Amal Association (IAA), but will have flexibility to shape their own session so that they can share information in a way that suits them and their participants. Similarly, the women will be able to choose the livelihood activities they participate in based on their individual strengths.
Support the Development of Circular Economy - Mosul - UNDP This will be done through:  1) Vocational training and development: Individuals will be enrolled in vocational trainings to learn key skills so they can access the labour market afterwards. Trainings will be delivered through technical, vocational, education training (TVET) centers or through private sector employers, based on capacity and impact potential. A Circular Economy Market Assessment will be conducted to identify in -demand sub -sectors and develop a roster of employers. Oxfam will link project participants to relevant employers through on -the -job training, post -graduation job placements, and/or informal engagement sessions. The most important activity will be the development of a curricula for the targeted sub -sector(s), which will be developed according to real market needs and job opportunities. This will ensure enrolled graduates develop relevant skills that can be applied in the labour market. Moreover, Oxfam will provide start -up kits for participants to excel in their new job placements or establish their own businesses.  2) Technical and financial support for business expansion, re -start, or launch: Evidence from past Oxfam projects suggest that business grants are an effective way of supporting conflict -affected individuals to immediately restore their income -generating options. This approach also supports greater innovation within livelihoods interventions, as businesses are more confident taking small risks. Business grants will be complemented with business management training to build individual capacities and business literacy. Grants will be provided to only those businesses which are confidently and objectively scored high as having growth potential. The empowerment through skills in knowledge transfer in the form of business management and technical training, specifically for women and youth, will create resilient livelihood opportunities in new, sustainable sub -sectors.
