Nissa II - Strengthening the provision of GBV services in Ninewa governorate While the combat operations against the Islamic State (ISIS) have ended, hundreds of thousands of displaced people are returning or preparing of return. Unfortunately the return is not so easy due to security concerns, damage on houses as well as infrastructure, lack of job opportunities and basic health and protection services. Un Ponte Per (UPP) and Women Rehabilitation Organization (WRO) have been providing integrated GBV and MHPSS services in Mosul and nearby IDPs camps for over a year, and with this project they are aiming in joining efforts and capacities to continue supporting GBV survivors and those at protection risk in Mosul and Sallamiyah Camp. The project will built on the previous IHF projects implemented in 2018 by both organisations and on the experience acquired in these specific areas. The approach of integrating specilized GBV services with Mental Health support is proven to be effective in this specific context, and the use of static units inside Primary Heath Centres guarantees accessibility and safety for all targeted beneficiaries. 
The project will address the psychosocial challenges of Women, Girls, Men, and Boys survivors or at risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) through increased outreach and awareness raising, case management, structured psychosocial support, referrals to other protection services and training of community members. Special attention will be paid to widows, divorced and unmarried head of households, as well adolescent girls, due to the higher exposure to GBV risks they face in the current context. Another important aspect of the project is the engagement of men and boys to the program and the establishment and training of community groups. The support will be provided through static as well as mobile response. 

Through 4 static centres and 4 outreach teams in West and East Mosul, and Through 1 static centre and 1 outreach team in Sallamya camp UPP and Women Rehabilitation Organization will provide these 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
