Emergency WASH Response for Western Mosul The project is targeting the returnees in Baa’j Town and host communities in surrounding villages. Oxfam is strongly present in the area since mid of January 2018 where 1,140 HH has been supported with winterization kits and NFI (hygiene/dignity kits). Moreover, Oxfam is supporting the Municipality of Baa’j with garbage collection (tools and equipment) for debris removal and collection of solid waste. 

The proposed intervention aims to provide emergency water and sanitation services and promote good hygiene practices by carrying out basic repairs of damaged water infrastructure in priority return areas. The planned intervention is an integrated WASH approach as per 1) rehabilitation of water system (borehole water sources), water treatment system, transmission mains and power supply 2) rehabilitation of WASH facilities in the provincial hospital (Baa’j Town) 3) rehabilitation of WASH facilities in 2 schools. Hygiene promotion (software activities) together with the support of most vulnerable person will integrate the hardware inputs. Software activities are strongly integrated with cross cutting issues (gender). 

Hardware’s project components target the six existing borehole in Adnania Junction (Lat 36.191165 E, Long 41.780432 N), together with the water treatment plant and high lift pumping station which provide water to Baa’j town. 
The provincial hospital is targeted for rehabilitation/installation of water and sanitation facilities as well as by environmental health kits (equipment and consumables for 3 months). 
The schools will be targeted for WASH rehabilitation as per water storage facilities, sanitation and water distribution. Cleaning tools will be also provided to the staff to perform daily cleaning activities. 

Oxfam will conduct hygiene sessions along with the water and sanitation activities put in place through a trained group of hygiene promoters on basic hygiene promotion in emergencies and community mobilization. Child hygiene activities in schools and within the entire areas of response will be conducted to support the psychosocial needs of children affected by the conflict through interactive ways. 

To mitigate risks to vector borne diseases resulting from poor waste management practices, Oxfam will mobilize community to participate in management of solid waste through clean up campaigns organized together with local authorities and the municipality. Oxfam will also provide the most vulnerable households with hygiene kits which will include water storage and collection containers, soap, ibriks, laundry detergent, female dignity materials among others. Oxfam will adhere to the national WASH cluster standards and NFI guidelines for all WASH intervention. 

As contingency plan for outbreak will be prepositioned in the project area in order support public authorities in containing any water borne related outbreak (1,000 HH per 2 weeks). 

Oxfam will work closely with directorate of water, health, education, WASH cluster and other WASH actors to ensure coherent response amp avoid duplication of efforts and resources.

Since the beginning of the Mosul response, Oxfam rehabilitated 29 water facilities and water networks, 69 health facilities and 32 schools mainly in Nineva Governorate and limited in Hawjia District (off camp). Moreover, Oxfam provided full WASH support two large IDPs camps (Hasanshan U3 and Hamman Ali Alil).
