Water, Hygiene and Sanitation support to most vulnerable displaced population in camps of Diyala and Baghdad Governorates and out of camps in Ninewa, Salah Al Din and Al Anbar, Arche noVa, Canadian Aid Organization for International Society Rehab (CAOFISR) and Sabe' Sanabul Organization for Relief and Development (SSORD), COOPI, Relief International (RI), SEDO and French Red Cross (FRC) have come together, under the lead of Solidarités International (SI) to make up the WASH-In and off camps consortium (WIOC) and to provide WASH support to the most vulnerable IDPs in camp as well as most vulnerable population out of camps. 
Based on the lessons learns from the WCICI and WOOC,  funded by IHF this project was designed by these 8 NGOs, both national and international, to meet the uncovered WASH needs of 8 716  IDPs (individuals), in 11 IDPS camps across Iraq, while being in line with the WASH cluster and IHF’s strategy. For intervention out of camps, 74 166 individuals will be covered. 

Through this project, the consortium intends to have an integrated approach, by satisfying IDPs’ needs for clean water, guaranteeing IDPs the possibility to have good hygiene practices and provide them a healthy living environment. 

More specifically, partners propose to provide clean water, in sufficient quality and quantity, by maintaining and operating the water supply in the camps. Partners will also focus on upgrading latrines and showers and making hygiene services accessible to the whole population of the camp, including those with special needs, and increasing hygiene and health awareness. In addition, partners will provide a clean environment to the camp population by upgrading the desludging system and maintaining the solid waste management. 

Below the partners’ contributions are explained in more detail. 
Arche Nova (AN) proposes to reach a total of 4,746 beneficiaries, intervening in Qoratu, Al Wand 1 (ALW1) and Al Wand 2 (ALW2) IDP camps in Bagdad governorate. AN will implement works on maintenance of water supply and upgrade of sewerage systems and hygiene facilities, as well as increase the access to hygiene items and good hygiene practices. In addition, AN will provide solid waste management services. 

SSORD proposes to maintain WASH support to 3,970 IDPs in the Baghdad camps living in Abu Gharib (Al-Shams and Al-Ahal) Rusafa (Nabi Younis, Maryam Al-Athraa) and Al-Rasheed (Latifya 1, 2 and Al-Wihda school).

Throughout all these activities, all the partners will integrate an inclusive approach, with a strong focus on gender and social habits of the beneficiaries, on addressing the needs of people with disabilities and mitigating against GBV risks.

SI, CAOFISR, COOPI, SEDO, RI and FRC will implement activities out of camps respectively in Mosul, Muhallabiyah, Shirqat, Beiji, Tuz Khurmatu, Fallauja and Ramadi and SInjar.

Finally, the project is integrated into a wider approach of capacity building between partners, so that all can benefit from the consortium structure, going beyond the administrative modality. This capacity building component will be integrated in the Consortium Management Unit (CMU) composed of one Wash Specialist, one Compliance specialist, one MEAL officer and Support Manager to launch activities. this CMU will be managed by The country Director.  

CAOFISR: due to closure of Basateen camp announced for end of September and  on going displacement between Qayarah camp and Shirkat city (out of camp), CAOFISR proposes to target 2500 families in secondary displacement in Shirqat through WASH and CCCM activities from the closure of Ninewa and Salahaldin camps. The activities are aimed at ensuring the families continue to have access to life saving assistance while living in informal settlements, and to try and identify durable solutions for the population in need while centralizing protection through AAP and PSEA activities. 

CAOFISR is as well proposing emergency activities through CCCM cluster in basateen camp. The related project summary is in annex 33.
