Provision of life-saving and gender-sensitive WASH interventions to newly displaced people As a result of the Mosul operation and based on Mosul central planning map, it is estimated that the caseload for southern Ninewa will be approximately 311,000. The Department of Displacement and Migration and its partners (UNHCR and UNICEF) are planning to establish 9 sites to host new displacements. However, only one site is confirmed and an additional 15,000 families will be displaced from Hawija (still under IS control) to Kirkuk and its surroundings. The urgent need for humanitarian assistance is required in both areas. Building on Save the Children’s (SC) experience of responding to immediate life-saving needs of the most critically affected populations, an integrated intervention is proposed in Kirkuk involving Water, Sanitation and Hygiene promotion (WASH) interventions which will be implemented in integration with Child Protection and NFIs distribution to the most vulnerable families and their children, in order to enable families to meet basic needs. The proposed activities will be directly implemented by SC with close coordination with key actors in the areas. SC has carefully assessed the needs of women, men, boys and girls and the proposed activities are gender and age sensitive, to ensure the needs of different groups are met in way that respect local culture and dignity of affected families and children. SC has flexibility in Kirkuk and other expected affected locations and will be utilizing institutional knowledge and relationships with local stakeholders in order to address the immediate needs of immediately displaced persons screening site and Temporary Living Sites (TLS) – partner or MoDM established as described in WASH settlement typology. Our WASH interventions will thus be as flexible as possible in terms of location in order to address needs in the dynamic and insecure environment.

To ensure access to first line preparedness (one month) targeting a total of 400 families, SC will provide: 
	Water supply: provide immediately water supply  through water trucking (15 liter/person/day)- two trips- 15 Cubic meter each ,  installation of one water tank with capacity of 15,000 with taps, carry out chlorination and water quality monitoring, 
	Sanitation: installation of 48 emergency latrines and 48 showers (50 person @latrines and showers), provision of garbage bins beside construction and provide temporary arrangement for safe excreta disposal.
	Hygiene Promotion: SC will use its internal stuck to distribute basic hygiene items (Basic hygiene kit (Detergent, sanitary pads, shampoo, soap, tooth brushes, toothpaste, towel, washing line). The distribution of item will be accompanied with hygiene awareness.


SC’s response aims to provide a full WASH response for 6 months targeting 700 HH, through the following:
	Water trucking for period of two months to supply water for 4,200 individuals (700 HH) – 15 liter/person/day. Installation and operation of 3 water points, Chlorination and water quality monitoring.
	Sanitation: installation 84 latrines and 84 showers ( 50 person per latrine and shower) and support garbage collection 
	Hygiene Promotion: Hygiene kit distributions and hygiene awareness (focus on reducing risk of diarrheal disease)


      In Kirkuk, SC, as the WASH cluster focal point at the Governorate level, will closely coordinate with cluster partners to avoid duplication/overlapping. With this intervention, SC aims to reach 6,600 individuals (3,960 of which are children through these activities for a period of six months.
