Nissa III - Strengthening the provision of GBV services in Ninewa and Kirkuk governorates Women and girls have been disproportionately impacted during the previous crisis and conflict and continue to face risks of multiple and intersecting forms of discrimination and violence in the post-conflict Iraq. As displacement becomes increasingly protracted and the general lack of safety in communities persist and continue to deteriorate, risks of all forms of GBV against women and girls persist, including sexual violence, intimate partner and family violence, sexual exploitation, harassment and forced marriage. Current GBV service provision is insufficient to meet the needs of survivors with substantive gaps in the availability of lifesaving GBV case management and PSS services across Iraq, especially care for girls and child survivors.Combating GBV requires a comprehensive strategy that prioritizes access to services while also fostering a protective environment through coordination of GBV prevention and response efforts amongst all humanitarian actors. Since October 2017 UPP has been managing 6 women’s centers inside Mosul under the project “NISSA – Strengthening the provision of GBV services in Ninewa Governorate” funded by UNFPA and IHF. The project provides GBV and MHPSS services to women, girls, boys and men, including case management, awareness raising, Adolescents Girls (AG) program, community engagement and promotion of behavior change. An important component of capacity building on GBV response and prevention includes training on CRM (Clinical Management of Rape), targeting DoH staff, with the objective of supporting the sustainability of the action. UPP will continue the intervention inside Mosul and expand it to Bartella through a mobile team. 
Women Rehabilitation Organization (WRO) has been providing GBV services in Salamiya 2 camp since 2018, through awareness raising, structured psychosocial support,case management and capacity building for community members.Special focus has been put on adolescent girls and the engagement of men and boys.Their intervention will expand in Nimrud urban area, through the deployment of a mobile  team that will provide basic GBV response services. The access to GBV and MHPSS services would therefore be strengthened through the proposed activities in Mosul and Nimrud subdistrict providing capacity building and training specifically chosen to support the economic empowerment of the beneficiaries. Kirkuk Governorate is a priority area included in the National Protection Cluster Allocation Strategy Paper. Thanks to the setup of a women's center in Daquq (Kirkuk District) and a mobile team in Laylan 1 and 2, Al Amal Association (IAA) will be able to provide GBV case management (including legal assistance), PSS support for singles and groups, outreach and awareness activities that involve men and boys. Women and girls will benefit from the activation of recreational activities and referred to livelihood opportunities, if present. Identified community members will take part in capacity building activities concerning GBV prevention. Through 3 static centers in East and West Mosul, 1 mobile team in Bartella, 1 static center in Salamiya 2 camp, 1 mobile team in Nimrud, 1 static center in Daquq and 1 mobile team in Laylan 1 and 2, UPP, WRO and IAA will provide the following joint response and prevention activities
1.	Conduction of continuous GBV assessments: Focus group discussions and key informant interview Adolescent girls’ assessment Service mapping exercise GBV situational analysis
2.	Provision of awareness raising and community outreach activities to WGBM: Door-to-door dissemination of information on available GBV-related services Awareness sessions on domestic violence, reporting, sexual violence and family planning with a special focus on men and boys Mass information campaign through dissemination of key messages on prevention, where to report, physical and mental health consequences of sexual violence and other forms of GBV, how to access care, victim blaming.
