Local Field Coordination for Mosul The envisaged outcome is enhanced coordination and information management at field level related to the Mosul response, specifically addressing gaps experienced in previous emergencies, such as Fallujah, and facilitate field-level, evidence-based humanitarian decision making at the executive coordination level through representation in the Humanitarian Operations Centre (HOC). Field units will be flexible and mobile in order to provide capacity as needed depending upon the developments.
A neutral and localized coordination mechanism/facility is critical to enable rapid communication and understanding of the situation, maintain independence of operational agencies, streamline local level coordination with the clusters and facilitate access. Transversal coordination per point of displacement, including at mustering points, screening sites, emergency camp/camp/out of camp shelter situations, returns, for example, will streamline coordination and continuity of services between providers and, as such, will contribute to coherence between humanitarian actors/clusters at different stages.
In close coordination with UNOCHA, NCCI will rapidly establish a network of five field coordinators based along four of the primary axes of anticipated population movement from Mosul city and within the city, as well as a Team Coordinator who participates in the Humanitarian Operations Centre (HOC), executive coordination mechanism, to facilitate the actions of relief providers. 
With a mandate for service provision, the field coordination mechanism will:
	Deliver field tracking and monitoring of, primarily, needs/response gaps, and where needed, IDPs movements, including returns
	Provide common operational support amongst local actors, including transversal coordination
	Analyze and disseminate information on the humanitarian situation to humanitarian partners at local levels as well as clusters and the executive coordination mechanism (HOC)
	Connect local capacity with external humanitarian actors.
Providing life-saving emergency WASH services (supply of safe water) to populations displaced due to Mosul offensive. The project lies within the WASH Cluster strategic objective to meet immediate life-saving water needs of vulnerable, critically affected girls, boys, men amp women within the ongoing Mosul offensive.

The project aims to ensure first-line response for newly displaced populations from various locations affected by military operations, who are on the move and/or in established displacement settings (primarily camps). It will be scaled up to the second-line response in the more established sites to ensure that basic needs are met and sustained and that no additional pressure is put on the populations who are facing longer-term displacement.

The project will specifically focus on the provision of safe water to enable first line response at cluster minimum standards. This will include procurement of mobile water treatment units (LMS). 

The project will target IDP in Al-Qayyara zone, however, “If circumstances change the LMS units can be also used for off camp response and other geographical areas affected by displacement related to Mosul offensive"

The project will ensure provision of safe water to meet needs of approximately 54,000 IDPs who are on the move and/or settled in informal or formal settlements in the aforementioned areas within Ninewa and surrounding governorates. 

This will be linked to UNICEF on-going efforts to reinforce WASH services in new established settlement sites through other resources (OFDA, DFID and ECHO), so it will be a complementary intervention to cover the gap of safe water supply. 

UNICEF interventions in Ninewa are currently ongoing through:
Implementation partners: 
 Representative of Ninewa Voluntary for IDPs  (RNVDO)
 Danish Refugee Council (DRC)
. AFKAR Society for Relief and Development  and:
Facilitators to meet the needs of Girls, boys, women and men who require immediate support as the first line response of humanitarian assistance for new IDPs on the move and for areas cleared after military operations. 

UNICEF’s WASH partners will adhere and commit to develop partnerships with other sectors on integrating gender in their interventions, collaborating and coordinating their actions with other sectors on issues related to equality for women and girls, men and boys and those with special needs.
Provision of essential life-saving primary and secondary health care services in response to the Mosul operation The anticipated Mosul operation is widely believed to create the biggest humanitarian need and response ever. It is important to mention here that Iraq and since 2014 is facing complex threats to the health of its population. Many health workers have been forced to flee and others have been killed or injured. A number of health facilities have been damaged and the supply chain of life-saving medicines/supplies have been disrupted. Through this project, WHO will be enhancing access to essential life-saving health care manly in the governorates of Nainawa and in Erbil, Duhok  and Salah-El-Din, with a focus on life saving interventions for men, women, boys and girls irrespective of age and disability. The life-saving concept for these groups covers a wide range of services (i.e. trauma care, CD, NCD/mental health and disease surveillance) with activities structured as follows: 
Ensuring procurement/distribution of medicines/supplies and other health technology products covering first line PHC package (i.e. emergency PHC, sexual and reproductive health (SRH), mental health, nutritional services and treatment of chronic disease etc..) to be delivered by predefined health structures (i.e. fixed/mobile medical units) run by partners.
Supporting three secondary health structures with equipment.
Reinforce EWARN (outbreak surveillance) to ensure that epidemic-prone diseases outbreaks are detected and timely responded to.
Provision of life-saving emergency NFI and Shelter support to vulnerable IDPs and conflict affected population across the Central Governorates of Iraq Through the proposed intervention, aligned with IOM’s HRP 2016 Shelter/NFI Cluster submission, IOM will address the lifesaving needs of vulnerable conflict effected, newly displaced, populations through the provision of seasonally appropriate non-food item (NFI) kits and shelter assistance packages. Specifically IOM will reach a total of 3,670 families, approximately 22,020 individuals, through the distribute of
	1,835 NFI kits in Anbar, Ninewa, Salah al Din and Kirkuk governorate and 
	1,835 shelter Sealing Off Kits (SoK) in, Ninewa and Anbar governorates. 

At least 5% of the total beneficiaries are female headed households (FHH), youth headed households (YHH), and families with chronically ill member or with special protection needs. Kit composition is based on NFI/Shelter Cluster standards as well as recent findings from IOM’s Gender NFI needs assessment.
Providing emergency NFI, Shelter support materials and durable Shelter upgrades tied to housing, land and property to newly displaced and underserved households ensuring that those assisted can live in dignity, security and safety. This project will focus on the delivery of shelter assistance to the newly displaced and underserved IDP populations in Ninewa and Dohuk Governorates in line with the Shelter Cluster strategy. These two governorates currently host 105,488 households (IOM DTM) of which the shelter cluster identifies approximately 25% currently in need of some form of Shelter assistance. Beyond those that are currently displaced in these governorates, the initiation of the government led offensive to retake Mosul from armed opposition groups (AOGs) is expected to create additional new displacement both from and within in Ninewa. The expectation is that in the early phases of new displacement, displacement patterns will follow that of previous waves of displacement with households seeking shelter in critical shelter arrangements and in dire need of lifesaving Shelter assistance. 
During the emergency phase NRC will respond directly with distribution of much needed NFIs and Sealing Off Kits (SOKs) to newly arriving households. Using a flexible approach NRC will move towards market based solutions (including Cash) where the market has the capacity to provide for the identified needs. Kits may need to be varied for winter or summer use, and framing material with additional fixings may need to be added to sealing off kits to allow use in some locations. NRC will target the non-camp setting where the newly displaced are located in open air, informal settlements and abandoned, unfinished or public buildings.
NRC’s Shelter intervention will focus on three Shelter cluster outputs: Provision of cluster approved basic NFI package or the cash/voucher equivalent to 410 households Provision of cluster approved Shelter Sealing Off Kits to 1000 household residing in abandoned, unfinished and public buildings Provision of Supplemental Seasonal NFI package or the cash/voucher equivalent to 410 households.
IM Support to the CCS Cluster and Partners REACH proposes to bolster an information gathering approach aimed at providing a macro-level situational understanding of IDP displacement trends, intentions and needs by conducting a Multi-Clusters Needs Assessment (MCNAs) across all of the accessible areas of Iraq by the end of the contractual period:

	The MCNA will be designed to provide information on IDP populations to be used in strategic and governmental planning and targeting of specific assistance. 
o	The MCNA will be timed to inform the 2017 HRP process, with comprehensive dissemination plans to ensure multi-cluster usage of the data.
o	The MCNA will be fourth of its kind, allowing for a unique analysis over time regarding standards of living and access to basic need standards among IDPs.
o	Indicators will be harmonized with the MCNA I-III and MSNA indicators to provide humanitarian actors with a comprehensive overview on both crises (i.e. Syrian and IDPs) over time.
	The MCNA will be conducted as sampled household-level assessments, representative at the district level, to return data on shelter, WASH, food, health, education and other basic cluster-specific needs and vulnerabilities. 
o	The assessment will include multi-cluster indicators and will also monitor Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) cross-cutting issues, especially gender. 
o	Data collection will cover all accessible areas of Iraq, with additional support of partners in harder to reach areas in Ninewa, Kirkuk, Salah Al-Din, Diyala, and Baghdad.
o	Findings will be disaggregated by age and gender, with the ability to identify vulnerable households. 
o	During the data collection process, REACH will work with relevant agencies in protection and health to ensure the referral of urgent cases. 
o	Analysis will be conducted through engagement with the cluster system and other key stakeholder needs, and where possible will include relevant secondary data provided by stakeholders. Indicators will be developed in close coordination with cluster leads to ensure buy-in from the humanitarian community.
Preparedness for life-saving NFI, health and food security activities during the Mosul response. The project consists of a multi-sector approach, in which the NFI, health, and food needs of the beneficiaries will be addressed. The project will be implemented by a consortium of two NGO’s: Dorcas Aid International as the lead agency and REACH, a national NGO, as implementing partner. The project has a timeframe of three months and will cover preparedness activities for Mosul IDP’s. Since the hosting capacity of confirmed and potential (emergency) camps in Zone 2 will not be sufficient, as indicated in the Mosul Central Planning Map (MCPM) and its explanatory notes, resulting in a deficit of shelter arrangements for 144,208 people, the project will focus on preparedness in order to respond to the needs of Mosul IDP’s out of camps. In regard to the NFI needs, DORCAS and REACH will acquire and preposition 1,750 NFI kits, thereby preparing to provide assistance to 10,500 IDP’s in spontaneous settlements. Since it is expected that the majority of IDP’s will leave their belongings behind, the distribution of NFI items is essential for the beneficiary’s survival. The procurement of NFI kits relates to the suggested assistance modalities for informal settlements outlined in the MCPM explanatory notes. In case Mosul is liberated within the three months of the project, the distribution of the kits will be conducted in coordination with the S-NFI cluster. 

Furthermore, and in accordance to the IHPF 2016 second allocation paper, which establishes food support as one of the most immediate needs to be covered, DORCAS and REACH will prepare to address these needs through the acquisition of 3,720 food parcels, thereby benefiting 22,320 individuals in out-of-camp situation. These food parcels will be ready to be distributed upon beginning of the military offensive on Mosul as first-line response within the emergency phase. Moreover, the composition of the food parcels follows the recommendation of the World Food Program (WFP) and the Food Security Cluster (FSC) under the assumption that the governmental PDS assistance system will be in place during the Mosul response. 

Additionally, as preparedness for the Mosul response, DORCAS and REACH will procure and preposition medical supplies and equipment to cover the implementation of 3 MMT’s for two months during the first-line Mosul response, thereby ensuring the uninterrupted access to essential medicines and supplies. The MMT’s will be able to provide 13,500 consultations to an expected number of 11,475 individuals during these two months. Preparing to respond with mobile teams is highly needed, as the IDP’s in out-of-camp situations will have limited access to hospitals or health clinics. This project thus contributes to beneficiary’s health and well-being.
Increase preparedness for large influxes of IDPs into Shekhan and Tilkaif districts of Ninewa governorate, through increasing water supply capacity and installation of critical WASH facilities. With 200,000 IDPs currently in Ninewa (and 230,000 people in the host community), key indicators such as water usage are already below WASH Cluster standards. With 3 million people in areas under siege by ISIS, it is expected that as military offensives begin north of Mosul, 200,000 – 700,000 additional IDPs will move into the northern districts of Ninewa targeted by this project. Incoming IDPs living in tents and buildings will have no, or critically low levels of access to clean water, sanitation facilities and water storage and overcrowded conditions will pose a significant threat to health. This project aims to prepare for this mass displacement into Shekhan and Tilkaif districts of Ninewa governorate and to reduce the anticipated life-threatening lack of access to WASH facilities faced by IDPs. 

Mapping of expected IDP sites in terms of existing sanitation facilities, water storage and water points and potential for water trucking and desludging will mean that when displacement does occur, humanitarian actors will have the information required to know which facilities are required where and to effect a more rapid response. Implementation of a number of water projects will enable a quick scale-up in water provision for IDPs, through increasing the quantity of water that can be produced and enabling water trucks to collect water from more locations. In expected IDP recipient sites, future coverage of key WASH facilities will be improved through installation of communal water tanks and communal latrines. A hygiene promotion programme will focus on activities that will promote good hygiene behaviours and prevent outbreaks of disease amongst future displaced populations. This will include training for teachers, clinic staff and leaders, building capacity of Water User Committees and provision of posters and other resources.

Those that are currently within the target intervention area will able to feed into and feedback about project design through a variety of accountability mechanisms. The specific concerns and needs of women, those with disabilities and other vulnerable groups will be taken into account. Mechanisms include fliers, community meetings and consultation with beneficiaries on WASH facility design.

This design is coordinated with the governorate level water officials and their identification of infrastructure needed to serve an increase in arrivals of displaced people who may not be permitted to travel further north.
Reduced threat from Conventional Weapons (CW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) for crisis-affected civilians in Anbar governorate, Iraq The proposed intervention aims at responding to one of the urgent specific needs of the targeted populations, as well as strengthening the capacity of local stakeholders to reduce the risk of death posed by Conventional Weapons (CW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) for the vulnerable population. HI is planning to address these issues through provision of mine risk education (MRE) in Anbar governorate to immediately increase the safety of the population.


HI will focus its intervention in the governorate of Anbar where HI has identified series of protection concerns and mine action needs due to the occupation by the Islamic State (IS) and the heavy clashes with the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) to retake the governorate from IS. 

In Anbar, the MRE activity will be implemented in partnership with the Iraqi Health and Social Care Organisation (IHSCO). IHSCO is based in Baghdad and has managed the implementation of several projects in the field of mine action over the last 12 years. IHSCO is accredited by the Directorate of Mine Action (DMA) and have previously been operational partners with HI in the past.

HI will target the most vulnerable people neglected from assistance in underserved and hard to reach areas with specific focus on internally displaced persons (IDPs), targeting a total of 19 445 beneficiaries. Gender and age will be addressed through the adaptation of the services depending on the target.

HI has designed its intervention in full coordination with the Protection Cluster, Mine Action sub-cluster and is in compliance with the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and the Protection Cluster strategy to scale up protection interventions in underserved areas and hard to reach areas including Anbar.
Supporting Iraqi returnees in the newly liberated areas of Nineveh governorate through Cash-for- Work programme. The project aims to enhance the resilience of returnees, remainees and host communities to cope with and respond to food insecurity and livelihood improvement through engaging vulnerable workers in agriculture related infra structure rehabilitation schemes in newly liberated areas for quick return for the most vulnerable.
Ensuring availability of  essential life-saving kits and medication to vulnerable population in response to the Mosul Operation The project aims at ensuring availability of medications, kits and supplies for responding to the anticipated needs of the Mosul population as they seek refuge in surrounding governoartes. The medication and kits are meant to address the life saving needs of the internally displaced population, including what is related to infectious and chronic diseases, maternal and pediatric health and to prevention of outbreaks including cholera. Supplies will be pre-positioned to support regular monitoring of water quality and IDDK kits will be used to respond to any potential cholera outbreak.
Improving immediate access to inclusive safe and protected learning environments for highly vulnerable children from besieged areas in Anbar Governorate This project will improve immediate access to inclusive safe and protected learning environments for 30,000 highly vulnerable children (5-17 years) from ISIL besieged areas across Anbar Governorate. Children who have been living under ISIL control have very specific and critical needs in terms of their psychological well-being. Many of them have been out-of-school for up to 2 years and/or exposed to serious ISIL indoctrination, violence and deprivation. This project will support children who are severely conflict affected to access positive and structured forms of learning and play with guided psychosocial support. This is imperative to their well-being and prospects for developing into peaceful and productive members of Iraqi society and to assisting them to regain a sense of stability and security in their lives. These activities form part of a first line response to providing education in emergencies.

The focus will be on reaching children from ISIL controlled areas who are in (i) 3 transit sites (al Wafaa, Kilo 7/18, Khaldiya) (ii) 2 large IDP camps (Ameriyat al Fallujah, Habbaniya Tourist City) (iii) nearby communities hosting large IDP populations (Ameriyat al Fallujah, Habbaniya Tourist City, Khaldiya) and (iv) in communities recently re-taken from ISIL where people did not displace (e.g. Rutbah, Hit, Kubaisa).

The frontline activities will be adjusted to the type of setting for the intervention to maximize the benefit for children’s learning and well-being. Specifically, 18 temporary learning spaces will be established in the 3 transit sites 24 prefab classrooms will be installed in the 2 established IDP camps where such units are already being used to serve part of displaced population of school-age children and 20 existing schools will be repaired and/or extended in host communities and communities re-taken from ISIL with a high proportion of displaced and/or conflict affected children. 

Children from besieged areas will have access to quality learning and recreation materials through distribution of Arabic Kits, School-in-box kits and recreation kits they will also have access to 650 teachers who have been attuned to the needs of conflict affected children from besieged areas through an orientation on education in emergencies and psychosocial support that will improve their skills, including in identifying children who require specialized services. Teachers will also receive incentives to cover transport and related costs enabling them to organize and teach extra classes for conflict-affected children so this does not become a barrier.

Collectively, this project will provide children from besieged areas with safe spaces for learning and play that will facilitate them to regain a sense of normalcy and security in their lives and contribute to their positive development.
