Prevention and response to violence against children through direct services, community engagement, and child protection systems strengthening. Throughout the interventions, this project will ensure adherence to the four key principles of Child Protection Minimum Standards (CPMS), survival and development, non-discrimination, child participation, and the best interests of the child.

In alignment with the IHF 2021 First reserve Allocation Strategy and Child Protection Sub-cluster priority for this call, Terre des hommes (Tdh) in partnership with Sabe'a Sanabul Organization for Relief amp Development (SSORD) will implement a seven-month project focusing on the most vulnerable children and their families. The project will systematically reach to the returnees and out-of-camp IDPs in six prioritized districts of CP Sub-cluster through this call. 

The project aims to provide comprehensive community-centered child protection services to the most vulnerable children who are having protection concerns or at risk of violence, exploitation, abuse, and neglect including strengthening the coordination among service providers for timely CP services. 

The project will contribute towards the safety and dignity of the acutely vulnerable displaced and returnee children and their families and caregivers. 

The intervention will provide focused and principled humanitarian assistance to 12,540 out of camp IDPs and returnees comprising 9,350 returnees and 3,190 out of camp IDPs faced with significant response gaps and the highest severity of unmet needs within the underserved districts of Baaj, Hatra, Sinjar, Balad, Samarra, and Tooz. The project will maintain the capacity to respond to additional needs arising from camp closure and movement of IDPs.

The major elements of the project are: 
a)	Comprehensive child protection case management services
b)	Structured psychosocial support for children and their caregivers 
c)	Community-based case management mechanism
d)	Assistance to obtain civil documentation 
e)	Referrals to specialized services 
f)	Strengthening of community-based child protection mechanisms
g)	Awareness raising and community outreach

In addition to direct child protection services to the children, the project will aim to strengthen the child protection systems at the community and family level for prevention and response to violence, abuse, and exploitation of children. 

The project areas are considered to be high mine risk areas. To improve the protective environment of the children in project locations, the partners will coordinate with actors providing mine risk education. The MRE will be provided to the children in schools, children attending PSS sessions.

The project will be implemented in six prioritized districts:
	Tdh will implement in Baaj, Sinjar, and Tooz targeting 55% of total beneficiaries and 60% of budget.

	SSORD will implement in Hatra, Balad, and Samara, targeting 45% of total beneficiaries with 40% of the total budget.
