Strengthening the Ankawa Humanitarian Committee (AHC) to Respond (formerly USAID-Transitional Assistance to IDPs Phase 2) (Iraq):  U.S. assistance will focus on increasing the organizational and programming capacities of the Chaldean Archdiocese of Erbil's nascent NGO, the Ankawa Humanitarian Committee (AHC). The aim is to enable AHC to eventually design, apply and, if successful, implement USG-compliant programs. AHC will also be able to better identify areas of improvement and maximize strengths as they serve the local community and the most vulnerable. The capacity strengthening process under this project complements a long-term process led by AHC to continue its growth to become a strong institution. USAID's funding to AHC will allow it to continue the establishment of the policies and institutions necessary, while also enabling the growing organization to test these policies and procedures while designing and implementing activities to help the vulnerable members of their community. This two-pronged approach ensures that the immediate needs of IDPs in Erbil are met, while preparing AHC to be able to self-identify areas for improvement in organization capacity, and work towards a longer-term vision of serving vulnerable groups in the local community. 100% of the funding for this activity is attributable to the Religious and Ethnic Minorities and People-to-People Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding KI.

Assistance, delivered in partnership with the community itself will include tailored shelter services; memorialization efforts; and measures to address other needs as required to allow families to feel safe, and supported in their recovery. Prior to implementing changes in scopes of work to existing programs or starting new awards, all work will be de-conflicted with DRL to avoid duplication of effort and to encourage complementarity of efforts. In addition, U.S. assistance will be used across Iraq to support efforts to prevent radicalization and violent extremism, including piloting the plans of action envisioned in Iraq's National Strategy to Combat Violent Extremism in key locations, such as areas impacted by rural-urban migration due to conflict, rural underdevelopment, and environmental issues.  To support both durable solutions and prevention of radicalization and violent extremism, U.S. assistance will also provide access to finance, enhanced employability, and business support aimed at sustainable job creation. 100% of the funding for this activity is attributable to the People-to-People Conflict Prevention and Peacebuilding, Atrocities Prevention, Countering Violent Extremism directives, and $1.5m is attributed to Religious and Ethnic Minorities directive..
