Strategic Response Plan

2014. While some displaced families managed to settle with friends and relatives, others have been forced to find shelter in unfinished buildings, public and school buildings or informal settlements. Approximately 800,000 people are in urgent need of emergency shelter assistance, and at least 940,000 lack basic household and other non-food items (NFIs). Providing alternative and improved shelter solutions is a priority in this SRP. In anticipation of the arrival of winter a two-month immediate response plan for IDPs in the Kurdistan region has been finalized in collaboration with the Kurdistan Regional Government. A similar plan for the whole of Iraq is under discussion with the Government of Iraq. FOOD SECURITY An estimated 2.8 million people require food assistance in Iraq. This includes IDPs, host communities and other vulnerable groups impacted by the conflict. Much of Iraq’s wheat production comes from the presently volatile northern parts of the country and nearly all of Iraq’s water resources flow through areas under ISIL and affiliated armed group control, putting the food security of many Iraqis at risk. The June harvest has been severely impacted, reducing food availability at the national level. The conflict has also resulted in a disruption of the Government’s Public Distribution System (PDS) of food rations in parts of the country, impacting more than 4 million individuals who are not 2 Report on the Protection of Civilians in Armed Conflict in Iraq: 6 July – 10 September 2014, UNAMI and OHCHR 7 8 Credit: OCHA/Iason Athanasiadis displaced but rely on the PDS for more than 50 per cent of their energy intake. Approximately 1.5 million individuals who are in the lowest 20 per cent income group have already become highly food insecure and are in need of emergency food assistance in six governorates. Unless land preparation and planting takes place ahead of the winter, cereal production will again be lost next year. This will translate into greater reliance on food assistance over an extended period of time. This SRP targets the most vulnerable 2 million Iraqis nationwide who need emergency food assistance and support to agricultural activities. ESSENTIAL SERVICES (Health, Education, Water and Sanitation) The provision of essential public services (including health, water and sanitation, education and the PDS) has sharply deteriorated, or become inaccessible in conflict-affected areas. Social services in many host communities are overstretched by the influx of IDPs, many of whom are occupying community buildings, including over 1,200 schools and an additional number of religious buildings and community facilities. About 5 million Iraqis need emergency water and sanitation, 950,000 children need education, and 5.2 million Iraqis have limited access to health care. Multi-sector programming is needed to equitably ensure that both relief assistance and basic social services are accessible to all in need – host communities, IDPs and other vulnerable groups – to ease inter- communal tensions and promote social cohesion. 5.2 MILLION PEOPLE IN NEED $2.2 BILLION REQUIREMENTS 5 MILLION $0.6 BILLION FUNDED PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID PEOPLE IN NEED & TARGETED PER CLUSTER REQUIREMENTS PER CLUSTER IN MILLIONS US$ Camp Coordination 0.8M people in need Camp Management 0.8M people targeted $ 32.5 MILLION Coordination 5.2M 5.2M $ 24.2 MILLION Education 1M 0.5M $ 154.2 MILLION Emergency 0M Telecommunications 0M $ 1.5 MILLION Food security 2.8M $ 512.1 MILLION 2M Health 5.2M $ 341.1 MILLION 4M Logistics 0M $ 3.6 MILLION 0M Protection 5.2M $ 212.1 MILLION 1.4M Shelter 1.3M $ 753.5 MILLION Non-Food Items 0.8M (shelter) 0.9M (NFIs) Water, Sanitation 5M $ 158.5 MILLION 9 and Hygiene 3.5M $ 63.8 MILLION Livelihoods 5.2M 0.8M 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 800 Core elements of the 2014/15 Humanitarian Strategic Response Plan (SRP) The SRP prioritizes critical life-saving and core emergency humanitarian programmes. These are defined as those actions that within a short time span remedy, mitigate or avert direct loss of life, physical harm or threats to a population or major portion thereof and common humanitarian services that are necessary to enable life-saving activities. Other activities aimed at rebuilding Iraq’s social fabric and easing tensions between communities have also been identified in the SRP in order to reduce human suffering and address the drivers of the conflict. The Government has taken the lead in providing some assistance, including the allocation of substantial funds to people affected by the crisis. Details on the use of these funds remain unclear, however, and important measures by the Government must still be taken. These include resuming basic social services such as the PDS to all governorates and for all those in need, dispatching essential drugs and medical supplies from the central pharmacy depot to all governorates, paying the salaries of all civil servants, and providing subsidized items for agricultural production. The resumption of these government measures would have a significant, positive impact on humanitarian programming and SRP funding requirements. If, as this response plan has factored, they are not resumed in all locations or with some delay, the UN and partners will be obliged to fill in the social service gaps for the most vulnerable Iraqis to save lives and reduce suffering. An immediate priority of this response plan is to assist the 1.26 million IDPs who are unprepared for harsh winter temperatures across Iraq. In the Kurdistan region where temperatures normally drop below zero, humanitarian partners are focused on providing temporary shelter solutions for 390,000 of the most vulnerable IDPs who are living in schools, unfinished buildings or in the open in the governorates of Dohuk, Erbil and Sulaymaniyah by mid-November 2014. Partners continue to provide weather-proof shelter and winter kits, including thermal blankets, mattresses, stoves, clothing and shoes in partnership with the government, local charities, and the private sector. Insufficient funding and capacity on the ground have delayed winter preparations as the needs and displacements have outpaced the response. The provision of additional government assistance, including the release of funds from central to local levels and a swift decision on fuel subsidies for all IDPs and refugees in the country would enable humanitarian partners to better target their relief assistance to only those most in need. Beyond the need to ensure that displaced and vulnerable Iraqis survive the winter, IDPs will be registered and those identified as the most vulnerable provided with improved access to basic services, including water and sanitation, health, nutrition, education and food. Relocation of IDPs currently hosted in schools will be supported as a matter of urgency in order for the now delayed academic year to commence. Special attention will be given to the large number of IDPs residing with host families or in rented accommodation in an effort to minimize the impact on host communities, reduce inter-communal tensions and lessen the risk of evictions and further displacements. Targeted host families will also benefit from activities that ensure equitable access to basic services nationwide. While the response plan involves the establishment of 26 additional camps in the Kurdistan region and another 10 camps across the center and south of the country to accommodate IDPs living in substandard conditions, further camps will only be built as a last resort given the priority to find more durable shelter solutions, including safe and dignified returns. International and local partners continue strengthening collaboration in an effort to widen the areas of operation and reach the largest possible number of vulnerable people, including the 2.2 million people in need residing in areas controlled by ISIL and affiliated armed groups. A combination of direct 10 implementation, discreet oversight and remote management will continue to be adopted whenever feasible. Humanitarian partners will also enhance collaboration with the private and other non-traditional sectors to boost the response. The ultimate protection objective in Iraq is for those displaced to return to their homes in safety and dignity. Returns are expected to be minimal and opportunistic in the medium term, however, unless there is a significant change in the security environment. Spontaneous small-scale returns will be supported where access and security conditions allow, including through the provision of return packages and limited shelter repairs. Partners, through the protection cluster, will develop a strategy for supporting those wishing to return to their communities. Contingencies are in place to quickly respond to additional humanitarian needs and new waves of displacement, which are likely to materialize given ongoing military operations, violence and insecurity in parts of the country. Limited emergency stocks for this purpose which are already positioned will be replenished. Projects within the 2014-2015 Iraq Strategic Response Plan will: • Reinforce the primacy of the Government’s responsibility at all levels and take into account local/ national capacity, including of Iraqi civil society, in responding to the crisis. • Mainstream protection concerns into humanitarian action across cluster/sectors, supported by a cross- sector monitoring mechanism. • Enhance accountability to affected people, including two-way communication, both to inform the response and ensure people know what the humanitarian community is doing and why. • Incorporate conflict-sensitivity approaches across the clusters, support durable solutions and promote resilience. • Put at the centre of the response cross-cutting issues such as protection, gender, age, disability, diversity and environmental impact. • Consider the provision of cash assistance where appropriate. • Implement and coordinate through the standard IASC cluster/sector coordination model and in close coordination with the UNHCR-led refugee response for the Syria crisis. 11 HUMANITARIAN ACCESS Large portions of Iraq are currently beyond Government control and are the scene of fierce fighting among parties to the conflict. Unexploded ordinances, remnants of war, and other explosive devices threaten personnel in areas where humanitarian operations are to be stepped up. Some 2.2 million people in need living in areas under the control of ISIL and their affiliated armed groups are, with few exceptions, beyond the reach of humanitarian partners. Access has been a serious challenge for organisations for over a decade in Iraq, but developments over the past 10 months have considerably worsened the situation. Bureaucratic procedures also impact access. Procedures for visas, registration of organizations, vehicles, import of relief items (especially medicines and communication equipment) are cumbersome and slow operations. In general, bureaucratic processes in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq are easier compared to other areas of the country. Nonetheless, in recent weeks, impediments have been imposed on visas for certain nationalities, crossing of checkpoints and residency permits for Arab staff. Despite insecurity, international and national organizations continue to deliver assistance to people trapped in conflict areas, although not in sufficient quantities. Direct and remote delivery and monitoring modalities are regularly being used, though networks which were established prior to the resumption of the conflict in early 2014. All opportunities available3 are being used for cross-line operations, and a more systematic approach is required to maximize the avenues for negotiation, while ensuring the safety of staff and operations. Better collection and analysis of access related data, available networks for negotiation with all parties to the conflict, will be a crucial step in expanding humanitarian space throughout Iraq and ensuring principled humanitarian action. GOVERNMENT RESPONSE The Government of Iraq is coordinating the crisis through the Supreme Committee for IDPs and Shelter, formed in July 2014, inclusive of several key Ministries involved in the response. A sub-group, the Crisis Unit, supports the Supreme Committee and is in charge of providing humanitarian assistance, primarily of food rations and cash allocations. The Secretariat of the Council of Ministers announced in September 2014 that in the period 1 January – 31 August 2014 the Government of Iraq distributed over 42 billion IQD, or approximately US $36 million, in aid to 15 governorates (not including the governorates of the Kurdistan Region of Iraq). Information about allocations of government funding and disbursement is being compiled. The Council of Ministers is considering the release of a proposed 500 million IQD ($42 million) from the Federal Budget to the Supreme Committee for IDPs and Shelter. 3 This includes engagement with tribal, religious and other leaders, with local civil servants and authorities, with national staff still present in the conflict zones, local organizations, etc. 12 Iraq: OPS Online Planning / Projects System (as of 10 October 2014) RESPONSE CAPACITY NUMBER OF PROJECTS PER DAHUK GOVERNORATE < 30 ERBIL NINEWA 31 - 60 61 - 90 KIRKUK SULAYMANIYAH > 90 SALAH AL-DIN Armed group controlled areas where humanitarian access and response capacity is DIYALA extremely limited.

Members States and a large numbers of private sector entities are also providing humanitarian aid, countrywide. This major response requires robust coordination to ensure close linkages between cluster and the authorities at central and local level, including in areas beyond government control. Within the UN system, the integrated role of the Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General in Iraq, who is also the UN Resident Coordinator and Humanitarian Coordinator, reinforces the linkages between humanitarian action, early recovery and development, as well as the political support role of the United Nations Assistance Mission to Iraq (UNAMI) mandated by the UN Security Council. Given the scale of the humanitarian situation and its linkages with the crisis in Syria, the Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) activated the highest-level (Level-35) system-wide emergency in Iraq as of 12 August 2014 to scale-up the aid response. The SRP encompasses strategies and priorities for all those in need, countrywide. Attention has been paid to the linkages with the UNHCR-led regional refugee response, especially with regards to the impact that different groups of refugees and IDPs have on host communities. Funding requirements for the refugee response in Iraq have not been included in the SRP and can be found in the Refugee Response Plan (http://www.unhcr.org/ syriarrp6/midyear/index.html), while funding required to address the need of host communities impacted by both refugees and IDPs are included in the SRP. NATIONAL RESPONSE CAPACITY Of the estimated 600 Iraqi-based non-governmental organizations (NGOs) active in the country and registered with the NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq (NCCI), approximately 70 are engaged in humanitarian operations. Together with civil society organizations (CSOs) these local partners work across several sectors, are flexible and some have gained good experience in responding to successive IDP crises. Several of them are operating in hard-to-reach areas. The Iraqi Red Crescent Society with its nationwide network of offices and staff/volunteers is also providing a range of material and protection assistance, supported by the International Federation of the Red Cross/Crescent. Religious organizations such as the Shia and Sunni endowments as well as the spectrum of churches are also actively involved in the response given their charitable mandates. Several international organizations, including the UN, are partnering with local setups. The NCCI is coordinating the efforts of local and international NGOs, and is also engaged in building the capacity of local partners to promote a principled humanitarian response. 4 Operational Presence in Iraq, available at: http://goo.gl/4wZOKn 5 Following the level-3 activation, a Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator was appointed to support the Humanitarian Coordinator and the HCT. A number of clusters were formally activated in Iraq in February 2014 to provide enhanced coordination and accountability for specific response areas: Education, Food Security, Health, Logistics, Protection, Shelter/NFIs and WASH. In September 2014, two additional clusters were activat- ed: Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) and Emergency Telecommunications. 14 LIST OF ACTIVATED CLUSTERS TO PROMOTE ENHANCED HUMANITARIAN COORDINATION Food Security Health WFP & FAO WHO Emergency Logistics Telecom- WFP munications WFP Prevention Reconstruction Education UNICEF & Protection Save the Humanitarian UNHCR Children & Emergency Relief Coordinator Social Cohesion Shelter/ and NFIs Sustainable UNHCR Livelihoods n UNDP tio iga Re Mit Camp co ve Coordination and Water, Sanitation ry Camp Management and Hygiene UNHCR UNICEF Pr ep are nse dne espo ss R Disaster 15 COMMUNICATION WITH COMMUNITIES Affected populations must have access to reliable, timely and accurate information about available services and aid. A September 2014 assessment indicates that displaced people have limited access to information regarding the provision of humanitarian services, entitlements and procedures regarding assistance. Affected communities stated that the lack of information, and conflicting information, has created confusion, isolation and mistrust. A two-way communication process is needed to enable displaced and returning people to express their needs, ask questions, and provide feedback on humanitarian services. Timely, effective and needs- based information products are required to support affected communities’ access to life-saving services. Similarly, feedback processes need to be strengthened to improve targeting and effectiveness of humanitarian assistance. These processes provide valuable insight on vulnerable people who face obstacles in accessing assistance. Failure to meet the information needs of affected communities can result in a backlash against international responders, misunderstandings about the nature of aid, and a sense of inequity. Lack of information also invites corruption when people are not given details of their entitlements, and provided with a channel through which to report any missing or mismanaged assistance. Ultimately, poor communication about assistance can lead to increased violence and further displacement. A communications strategy that ensures affected people are able to ask questions, provide feedback and contribute to discussions about longer term strategies is required. 16 HUMANITARIAN PRINCIPLES & HUMAN RIGHTS In accordance with the UN Secretary-General’s Rights Up Front approach initiated in 2013, the HCT integrates human rights in all its programming, and supports the timely provision of information whenever Iraqi civilians are at risk of, or subject to, serious violations of human rights or international humanitarian law. The HCT recognises the fulfilment of basic needs is part of a continuum of action leading to development, including the promotion of human rights.

RESPONSE MONITORING Monitoring will be jointly implemented by UN agencies and partners in collaboration with the authorities. Baseline information to support humanitarian response monitoring is crucial to ensure the appropriateness of the response. With this in mind, clusters are taking steps to improve data collection and analysis, based on information from networks of partners but this effort needs to be systematized. Direct monitoring is possible in accessible areas, while remote systems and discreet oversight are being strengthened in areas beyond government control. A national registration of IDPs would support strategic and operational planning and monitoring. Community feedback from the planned two-way communications centre and operational agencies will be collated and fed into the inter-cluster mechanism allowing for clusters to be responsive to changing needs and analyse longer term trends. The established Protection, Assistance and Reintegration Centres (PARC) system for support to the Ministry of Displacement and Migration will be enhanced through additional mobile protection monitoring teams. PARC is a product of several years of development of a protection network spanning all Iraqi governorates. UN agencies also have existing Rapid Assessment and Response Teams which have operated throughout the country for a number of years. These will be used to support delivery and monitoring of relief operations in governorates hosting people displaced from affected areas. For this SRP, the HCT will issue a monitoring report covering the period February to August 2014. The monitoring exercise will be coordinated by OCHA as the Chair of the ICCG. Cluster Coordinators will work with members to collect data against the objectives and indicators in the June 2014 SRP. In January 2015, the HCT will conduct a second periodic monitoring review covering the period September to December

2014. In 2015 the HCT will issue three periodic monitoring reports. The first report will be issued in May, covering, January to April; the second report will be issued in September, covering May to August; with 17 the final report being issued in January 2016, covering the period September to December.

While priority for relocation to formal settlements will be accorded to the $32 MILLION latter group, it is possible that such solution would not materialize for the entire caseload. This is due to the fact that relocation of REQUIREMENTS displaced persons out of occupied schools is also prioritized and the projected capacity of camps is limited. It is estimated that about 6 PARTNERS 775,000 persons (129,000 families) will be sheltered in some type of communal living arrangements. Given the sheer number of locations where displaced reside, it is expected that the authorities will not have sufficient capacity to manage an outreach programme covering all the dispersed IDP population living in smaller communal settings outside of camps. Cluster partners will implement the strategy for formal settlements through a broad range of interventions in support of the authorities; from training of personnel and capacity reinforcement to direct operational management of the settlements and camps. The cluster will also work with governorate camp managers to ensure that effective communication, representative mobilization and leadership, and humanitarian accountability mechanisms are in place. People living in informal settlements will be supported to enhance their self-organization, and with information on the assistance and services available to them within their area. Through a mapping and identification of these informal settlements, the cluster will provide information to assistance and service providers to ensure an equitable and efficient delivery of humanitarian aid. Special needs and the situation of particularly vulnerable groups will be brought to relevant partners’ attention. The strategy is carried out in close partnerships with humanitarian partners, local officials and displaced populations. The CCCM cluster will also establish and maintain closer links with the protection cluster on population profiling and data collection issues, and coordinate on addressing the dynamics between populations within sites and the surrounding communities and environments. 19 Camp Coordination Camp Management Objective 1 Supports Strategic Identification of viable settlement options Objective 1, 2 Indicator Baseline Target 1. % of the displaced population currently living in inadequate or non-viable communal settings N/A? 100% for whom a viable and adequate shelter arrangement has been found.

PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID Some 107 humanitarian actors, including the United Nations system, the Red Cross/Red Crescent Movement and local and $24 MILLION international NGOs are working in support of a Government- led response6. Members States and a large numbers of private REQUIREMENTS sector entities are also providing humanitarian aid, countrywide. This major response requires robust coordination to ensure close 107 PARTNERS linkages between cluster and the authorities at central and local level, including in areas beyond government control. The Humanitarian Country Team, led by the Humanitarian Coordinator, supported by OCHA, is the forum for strategic and policy guidance, as well as advocacy for the humanitarian community and is comprised of UN agencies, NGOs and donors. The deployment of a dedicated Deputy Humanitarian Coordinator following the L3 declaration has further strengthened coordination. Dedicated capacity is being mobilized to ensure effective cluster and inter-cluster coordination to improve collaboration among partners and the authorities in key elements of the response, including the humanitarian programme cycle (i.e. needs assessment, strategic planning, implementation, resource mobilization, monitoring and accountability), information management, and advocacy, civil-military coordination, Communication with Communities (CwC), Accountability to Affected Populations (AAP), cash transfer programming and NGO liaison. Coordination mechanisms at regional and local levels will be revised, and dedicated coordination hubs are being established to strengthen operations. Strengthened coordination will also enhance advocacy and action to ensure safe, secure and timely access to all people in need, and foster strategic partnership between agencies with expertise in cross-cutting issues, such as gender. Particular attention will also be paid to ensure that a two-way communication with affected communities is established to ensure that all those affected have access to relevant information about provision of aid and available services, and misinformation is managed. Feedback / complaints from affected communities will also be managed and coordinated in a timely manner with cluster coordinators and other key stakeholders. 6 Operational Presence in Iraq, available at: http://goo.gl/4wZOKn 22 Coordination Objective 1 Supports Strategic A more effective humanitarian coordination system that ensures coherency and Objective 1, 2, 3 transparency Indicator Baseline Target

There is therefore an urgent and PEOPLE IN NEED critical need to support the education of displaced children, as 500,000** well as children in host-communities countrywide. Failed school year would expose children to various protection risks including PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID social and domestic as well as gender-based violence, recruitment into armed groups, child labor and possibly early marriages. This $154 MILLION situation would likely heighten parents’ anxieties about the future of their children and increased social tensions against IDPs who REQUIREMENTS sought refuge in schools. 14 PARTNERS During emergencies, education provides both life-saving and life-sustaining physical, psychosocial and cognitive protection for children; it provides stability, structure and routine that they need to cope with loss, fear, stress and violence and ultimately hope for * Includes 522,000 IDPs and 432,398 affected host communities the future. Urgent support to education is needed to avoid losing a generation of Iraqi children. ** 250,000 are the IDPs and 250,000 are host communities To address these issues the education cluster partners, in collaboration with the Federal and Regional Ministries of Education, will provide opportunities for inclusive education that will make schools more child-friendly, ensuring improved learning outcomes for children. This involves the establishment of Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS), rehabilitation of existing school buildings with WASH facilities and the construction and installation of pre-fabricated classrooms. To increase access to more children, double-shift systems will be advocated for. Essential teaching/learning materials for teachers and students will be provided to both IDPs and the host communities. Teachers and education personnel will be trained in various fields including improved pedagogy and psychosocial support. Furthermore, education activities will be sustained by peace-building endeavors that target children and adolescents. UNICEF and partners will elaborate a social mobilization and communication strategy; develop information, education and approaches to encourage children and adolescents to go back to school. Parent Teacher Associations (PTAs) will be strengthened to ensure ownership, sustainability of intervention and to facilitate attendance and participation of their community in education. Cluster leadership will be provided to prioritize interventions and ensure synergy. 25 Education Objective 1 Supports Strategic IDPs and host-community children access quality education Objective 1, 2 Indicator Baseline Target 1. # of IDP children (6-17 years old) with access to education opportunities 30,000 250,000 2. # of host community children (6-17 years old) regain access to education opportunities TBD* 250,000 * Schools in many parts of the country are still not open for the year (to be determined later) Activities Locations Indicator Target Repair and rehabilitation of Countrywide # of schools repaired and rehabilitated 550 schools (including WASH facilities) # of schools with functional WASH 250 facilities Provision of temporary learning Countrywide # of Temporary Learning Spaces (TLS) 750 spaces including prefabricated operational classrooms and the provision of tented schools # of children with access to TLS 55,000 Provision of teaching and Countrywide # of schools received teaching and 100 learning materials including learning materials supplies and recreational materials # of students provided with education 250,000 supplies and learning materials Strengthen Sector Cluster Countrywide # of coordination meetings held 24 Coordination mechanisms # of organizations involved in 18 coordination mechanisms Education Objective 2 Supports Strategic Psycho-social support (PSS) for children and teachers are integrated in the education Objective 1, 2 response Indicator Baseline Target

The availability of reliable and independent PEOPLE IN NEED data, voice and security telecommunications services for the N/A humanitarian community in common operational areas within Iraq is vital to ensure successful response operations. This has been PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID recognized as a priority area by humanitarian and government entities. Assessments conducted in Erbil, Sulaymaniyah and $1.5 MILLION Dohuk confirmed gaps in security telecommunications services and requirements for data connectivity to support the influx of REQUIREMENTS humanitarian workers in those locations. 4 PARTNERS The ETC will work closely with national and international actors to ensure that coordination of emergency telecommunications service provision is efficient and effective. Regular coordination meetings will be held in which local and global stakeholders can share and access information related to emergency telecommunications requirements, provision and access. Information management services will be provided to track, monitor and report ETC activities. This will ensure that relevant operational information is disseminated to the humanitarian community in a timely and effective manner. It will also enhance awareness of ETC activities in the non-humanitarian and donor communities. Fifteen organizations in 18 locations across Iraq indicated a need for emergency internet and radio services in the ETC’s initial countrywide assessment of humanitarian ICT requirements. However, this number is expected to increase as operations evolve. The ETC will provide humanitarian ICT services to UN agencies and NGOs where a need is indicated and where security allows. Assessments will be conducted on an ongoing basis to ensure that requirements are consistently identified. 27 ETC Objective 1 Supports Strategic Provide the humanitarian community with emergency telecommunications and data Objective 2 services to allow humanitarian organizations to better coordinate and assist people affected by the recent crisis in Iraq Indicator Baseline Target

Based on assessments, including a rapid food 2 MILLION security assessment published in July, some 2.8 million Iraqis are estimated to be food insecure as a result of the conflict. Distinct PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID groups with specific needs within this overall figure include IDPs in camps or residing with host families, IDPs on the move or living $512 MILLION in public spaces, non-displaced food insecure people who live in areas under the control of armed groups (AGs) or who have REQUIREMENTS returned home after a period of displacement, and host families and communities vulnerable to food insecurity. Due to the numbers 86 PARTNERS of people living in locations with limited access, it is estimated that a target figure of 2 million overall may be assisted by Food Security Cluster (FSC) partners during the period of this plan. The cluster is will assist these individuals in need of immediate assistance through food aid (distribution of Family Food Parcels (FFP), Immediate Response Rations (IRR) and Food Vouchers) or via livelihoods interventions. FSC partners will continue to expand their reach into governorates and districts where access is limited and variable. Advocacy continues with the Iraqi government to ensure that all IDPs outside of areas controlled by AGs have their registration to the Public Distribution System (PDS) transferred to their new locations to ensure continued access to this food safety net service. As the number of IDPs with access to the PDS grows, cluster partners’ interventions will complement the basics provided through the government scheme. A rapid market assessment conducted in September indicates that food markets in urban areas of Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KR-I) are functioning well. A voucher transfer modality will commence in November in all urban locations conducive to market-based transfers. This shift aims to increase dietary diversity and allows for greater control and choice, whilst supporting the local economy. At the initial stage of the crisis, commodities were purchased on the international market. Since July, local procurement has been gradually introduced, and currently 16 percent of the food sourced by WFP is procured on the local market at adequate quality and at competitive prices. The ongoing violence and displacement has resulted in the abandonment of many agriculture-based livelihoods. The resulting loss of income and immediate food sources (such as eggs, milk and fresh vegetables) is translating into greater reliance on food assistance. As time progresses and the conflict continues, livelihood support to crisis-affected farmers is becoming increasingly urgent to ensure agricultural production. Partners will strengthen provision of livelihood support, including of seeds and fertilizers in time for the October/November cereal planting season (where open field cultivation is possible), animal feed, backyard vegetable, poultry production, cash for work, employment creation and income generating activities. Partners will also strengthening food security assessment and monitoring capacity to develop needs-based, well-targeted and timely response strategies. 29 In order to ensure maximum coverage and avoid duplication, the food security cluster will continue to provide an action-oriented and evidence driven forum for bringing together humanitarian partners to improve the timeliness, quality and impact of food security assistance on the lives of crisis-impacted communities, according to their needs. Key information is shared with cluster partners on a regular basis with an aim to improve coordination, the quality of interventions and targeting. Livelihoods project interventions will be coordinated closely with the Social Cohesion and Sustainable Livelihoods sector, which will focus on non-agricultural livelihoods opportunities. Programme quality, including sharper attention to cross cutting issues such as age, gender, diversity, vulnerability, protection, accountability to affected populations (AAP) and communicating with communities (CwC) is a FSC priority. The FSC has developed tools such as the Safe Distribution Checklist and is encouraging partners to use process and outcome monitoring tools that include gender, age, disability, protection and accountability. FSC will continue to ensure that cluster partner assessments are analyzing the food security situation with sex and age disaggregated data and engaging available referral mechanisms for people with disabilities and other specific needs. The FSC will continue to promote the use of appropriate feedback mechanisms. The Food Security Cluster partners will work together and with other clusters and stakeholders to ensure coherent, coordinated and integrated humanitarian responses driven by the assessed food security needs of affected populations. The cluster will also actively participate in interagency initiatives aimed at providing common service approaches to quality programming, including AAP and CwC, such as the interagency Cash Working Group, strategies based on the findings of the interagency assessment on CwC and an interagency call centre project.

The dire living conditions of the IDPs together with the 4 MILLION poor water and sanitation conditions are contributing to increased health problems and the high risk of outbreaks. PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID In order for access to health services to be guaranteed, cluster $341 MILLION partners will employ innovative approaches by engaging not only governmental partners but also relying on healthcare volunteers REQUIREMENTS and civil society. Health partners will prioritize the provision of services to IDPs through Primary Health care facilities (PHCs) in 13 PARTNERS camps and mobile clinics. The basic package will include curative and preventive services, care for non-communicable diseases, emergency reproductive care, trauma care, as well as care for disabled and mental health. Partners will also support the health authorities in enhancing the outreach of the referral system for secondary and specialized health assistance. Early Warning and Alert System will be also strengthened to ensure early detection of outbreaks of communicable and vaccines preventable diseases. National Immunization campaigns are planned for Polio and Measles to enhance the coverage especially for population who could not be reached in the first half of 2014. This will go hand by hand with the strengthening of the Expanded Programme on Immunization supported by WHO and UNICEF. In addition, IOM will support WHO and cluster partners with a national Tuberculosis detection, prevention, and treatment campaign through a network of mobile TB teams. Nutrition assessments are planned to detect vulnerable areas, address child nutritional needs, and the strengthening of the nutrition surveillance system. In addition, there is a need to restore health services in areas affected by conflict where more than 80% of health facilities are non-functional. In order to fill the increasing gaps in supplies, the cluster partners will provide medicines, vaccines, medical supplies and equipment to PHCs and hospitals, and disability aid to areas with high influx of IDPs and to security-compromised areas. A tailored package of technical and managerial capacity building will be provided to the health personnel, authorities and partners. Incentives to staff whose workload has significantly increased as a result of displacement will also be provided. 33 Health Objective 1 Supports Strategic Provide timely the basic package* of primary and secondary health care services, Objective 2 including reproductive and mental health services, care for disabled and patients with chronic diseases and nutrition services Indicator Baseline Target 1. % of targeted population received one consultation / year 300,000 80% of the targeted population (3.2 million consulta- tions) Activities Locations Indicator Target Provision of a basic package of Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, # % of people that receive PHC All targeted primary and secondary health Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninewa, consultations population care interventions, using different Anbar, Diyala, Baghdad, Najaf, (4,000,000 modalities with referral inclusive of Karbala, Babylon, Muthanna, individuals) Non Communicable Diseases (NCD) Basra and Mental Health and Psycho- social Support (MHPSS) Provision of basic Maternal, Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, # of health facilities supported with 200 primary Newborn and Child Health Care Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninewa, medical equipment and RH kits health care including Basic & Comprehensive Anbar, Diyala, Baghdad, Najaf, and referral Emergency Obstetric Care and Karbala, Babylon hospitals newborn care at different levels of supported health facilities including mobile medical services Provision of routine immunization Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, Coverage of Penta2 vaccine for 85% coverage services through the Expanded Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninewa, under one year through Program on Immunization Anbar, Diyala, Baghdad, routine EPI Karbala, Najaf, Babylon Conduct community awareness, Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, # of IDPs families attended health 13,000 develop, produce and print IEC Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninewa, promotion sessions and / or visited families materials, to address health issues Anbar, Diyala by health promotion mobile teams of importance including RH and rehabilitation Conduct rapid nutrition assessment, Dohuk, Erbil, Sulaymaniyah, # of targeted lactating mothers of 80,000 establishing regular growth Kirkuk, Salah al-Din, Ninewa, children 0 23 months with access women of monitoring /screening of all children Anbar, Diyala to IYCF counseling for appropriate IDPs and under 5 and Promoting proper infant feeding 320,000 and young child feeding practices women with special attention to breast of host feeding.

The logistics cluster will N/A continue to coordinate with national and international actors to optimize efforts, and identify operational gaps and bottlenecks. PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID Regular coordination meetings will provide a forum where partners can share information regarding logistics constraints and address $3.57 MILLION potential gaps in the supply chain. REQUIREMENTS Although commercial capacity and infrastructure in Iraq is currently able to support the increase in response activities, humanitarian 60 PARTNERS organizations have requested for logistics support services to be provided to enable a scale up of organizational capacity and to ensure contingency measures are in place to ensure delivery of relief goods and continuity of services in the event of an emergency or interruption of regular supply corridors. Subject to accessibility, the Logistics Cluster could play a critical role with respect to providing coordination for convoys and/or transport. Based on the feedback from humanitarian partners, the Logistics Cluster in Iraq will provide technical support through the deployment of experienced logistics staff in establishing logistics setups, supply chain management, and strategic planning. To ensure timely, accurate and reliable access to logistics information, the Cluster will provide information management and GIS/mapping services, including up to date operational data regarding potential congestion of entry points, as well as the publication of situation reports, snapshots and briefings. A dedicated Iraq Operation page is available on the Logistics Cluster website to disseminate vital information products to the humanitarian community. Updates on Logistics Capacity Assessments will be provided and shared online. Storage will be supplied by the Logistics Cluster in strategic hubs, where required, to facilitate onward movement to further destinations, for a limited time of three months. Additionally, emergency transport (via land) will be provided to partners whose logistics capacity is limited for an initial period of three months to allow sufficient time for organizations to develop their capacity. A contingency airlift component has been added to the Logistics Cluster strategy and budget to allow for airlift of emergency lifesaving supplies to areas cut off by land or inaccessible by any other means, and will be utilized with security permitting and necessary. 36 Logistics Objective 1 Supports Strategic Provide logistics coordination of humanitarian response and information management to Objective N/A all humanitarian actors Indicator Baseline Target

Protection 1.4 MILLION considerations form the basis of any humanitarian engagement and are guided by humanitarian principles, human rights, and PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID international humanitarian law (IHL) both at the policy and operational levels. Therefore, protection mainstreaming is a core $212 MILLION element of the protection strategy for Iraq. REQUIREMENTS The protracted armed conflict in Iraq have led to massive displacements, widespread violations of human rights and IHL, 40 PARTNERS including targeted attack on civilians, atrocious acts of gender- based violence (GBV), inhuman treatment of children and ethnic and religious minorities, giving rise to an estimated 5.2 million people in need of humanitarian assistance. Protection partners in Iraq will target some 1.4 million of these individuals, particularly those displaced and otherwise affected by the armed conflict, whom we expect to be able to reach through a concerted network of local and international partnerships. Partners will strive to expand their outreach over time, depending on access and mobilization of additional capacities. Be they girls, boys, women or men; infant, youth or elderly; physically or mentally challenged; living in the open or in over- crowded spaces; missing schooling or lacking job opportunities; seeking family reunification or warm clothing and shoes; widowed, orphaned or hosting large numbers of displaced persons - a vast majority of those affected have ‘specific’ needs of protection. In particular, an enhanced effort is required to mainstream protection of civilians from violence and exploitation, with utmost need for attention, care and resources to be made available for survivors of gender-based violence (GBV), affected children and for particularly traumatized individuals and communities. Protection activities will be implemented based on the following strategic approach: protection monitoring will form the basis for analysis of the overall protection situation in order to inform the broader humanitarian response; enable and strengthen evidence- based advocacy and capacity-building to better address protection needs; prevent grave violations of human rights and dignity; and contribute to an environment whereby the displaced or others affected by the conflict can enjoy and exercise their rights. Protection delivery mechanisms will be reinforced countrywide to ensure timely identification, quality response and prevention of instances requiring protection support for all persons of concern, by partnering with a wide range of local, national, regional and international actors. Sustainability of the response will be ensured through much needed attention and linkages to community-based protection, strengthened outreach and durable solutions. 38 Protection Objective 1 Supports Strategic The protection needs of displaced persons and conflict-affected populations are identified Objective 1, 3 through robust monitoring and protection-sensitive responses are made available to persons of concern. The overall humanitarian responses are informed by the outcomes of protection monitoring, and are strengthened through advocacy, capacity building and protection mainstreaming, including GBV, in support of durable solutions.

Subject to the prevailing security 800,000 situation and access opportunities, all shelter and NFI assistance programmes will be implemented in a coherent and consistent PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID manner to enhance a countrywide policy and approach. Minorities, SHELTER female headed households and vulnerable groups with little or no 940,000* established links with the host communities will be given special attention in the planning and implementation of all shelter and NFI PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID assistance programmes. NFIs Partners will also prioritize provision of shelter and NFIs for more 320,000 in need of shelter, than 850,000 civilians who sought refuge in the Kurdistan Region of 480,000 in need of shelter Iraq since June 2014 and were only able to bring along a minimum and NFI and 460,000 in of personal belongings and are now living in the open, in unfinished need of only NFI assistance buildings or in schools and religious infrastructures. Partners will furthermore pay attention to the large number IDPs residing with $753 MILLION host families or in rented accommodation across Iraq to minimize host community fatigue, social tension and the risk of evictions REQUIREMENTS when savings and financial resources are depleted, and to reduce 25 PARTNERS the risk of secondary displacement. The Kurdistan Regional authorities and humanitarian partners developed a two-month Immediate Response Plan (till mid November 2014) to address the most urgent needs of IDPs, * Some IDP families are in need of both shelter including the establishment of 26 camps to accommodate up to and NFI assistance. 265,000 vulnerable IDPs, improve temporary accommodations for 125,000 IDPs, including support to renovate unfinished buildings and establish collective centres or additional camps as a last resort. Considering the extreme seasonal climatic conditions and geographic differences within Iraq – with harsh cold winters and extremely hot summers, partners are also prioritizing winterization activities for the most vulnerable IDPs living in substandard conditions, especially in the KRI where 480,000 IDPs need appropriate winterization kits. In the south and central regions of Iraq, plans are being prepared in cooperation with local authorities to establish 10 camps to accommodate some 60,000 vulnerable IDPs currently residing in substandard accommodations. An additional, 140,000 IDPs will be targeted with shelter rehabilitation and winterization kits to improve and bring their living conditions up to minimum standards. NFI assistance and replacement of essential domestic items will also continue.

Support will also be provided to ensure that municipal water supply systems and waste services are available to host communities $158 MILLION Partners will support the authorities in their efforts to meet the immediate humanitarian needs of the people affected by the crisis REQUIREMENTS across the country and will continue to provide assistance in a 24 PARTNERS manner that promotes the respect, protection of human rights and gender equity. It will focus on displaced and host communities and on people that are located in areas affected by the violence and in particular vulnerable IDP populations living in camps, unfinished building, informal settlements, schools and other collective shelters. Out of an estimated 5 million people in need, WASH cluster partners are targeting approximately 3.5 million individuals in the currently accessible areas, including 3.5 million for water interventions, 500,000 for sanitation and 500,000 for hygiene promotion. As the security situation changes, the cluster will aim to reach all of the people in need. Within the overall objectives, activities and targets, particular consideration will be given to specific population groups and cross cutting issues which will guide the response, including: Gender and Protection - Appropriate access for woman and girls is critical. Partners will ensure that WASH Services are located in safe areas, latrines and showers are locked and have proper lighting, and WASH facilities in schools for girls are available in order to ensure girls stay in school and continue their education. Age - WASH in schools, is essential for keeping children in the classroom and ensuring their safety and well-being, with clean and secure toilets and hand-washing services available to students and teachers. At the household level, toilets will be appropriately designed to meet the needs of both the young and the old (proximity to services, easy access). Disability – Partners will ensure availability of appropriately designed WASH facilities to facilitate access and use for people with special needs. Environment - Emergency response, which can be heavily supply driven (distribution of bottled water and hygiene supplies), often results in large amounts of plastics that pollute the immediate environment and fill landfills. WASH interventions will minimize this by rapid transition to more sustainable solutions. Equity - During emergencies, critical WASH interventions will continue to include distribution of WASH supplies such as drinking water, hygiene supplies, and jerry cans; and the installation of emergency latrines, showers and water tanks. Partners commit to ensure that interventions are implemented in a way that all individuals have equal access, and no one group is marginalized over another. 45 WASH Objective 1 Supports Strategic Emergency affected populations have timely and equitable access to a sufficient quantity Objective 1, 2 of safe water for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene Indicator Baseline Target 1. % of targeted populations with access to a sufficient quantity of safe water for drinking, 17% 100% cooking and personal hygiene* * The total target number is 3,500,000 beneficiaries.

As reflected in lessons learned from other humanitarian emergencies, it is important that elements of early recovery, conflict PEOPLE TO RECEIVE AID sensitivity and restoration of livelihood are integrated from the early stages of the response, and that the gap between humanitarian $63.8 MILLION response and development is adequately bridged to promote community resilience and mitigate social tensions. Maintaining REQUIREMENTS peaceful relations, or at least tolerance, between host communities and the displaced is essential to ensure a conducive environment 8 PARTNERS for humanitarian actors to operate and for adequate durable solutions be identified and promoted. Initially, activities will focus on areas of displacement and be limited by the current capacity of sector partners. However, as and when longer term durable solutions, especially returns, become feasible, partners will shift attention to return areas. An increase in the number and capacity of sector partners will be required to meet the needs of populations affected. The sector initiatives are designed to mitigate and defuse tensions and prevent escalation of violence. To facilitate flexible and timely interventions, the trends of key triggers of tension, including rising rents, falling daily labor rates, deterioration in public services in areas of pre-existing social pressure, will be monitored, in partnership with the authorities. A pilot project for data collection and analysis of trends in the Kurdistan region will be progressively expanded to cover other parts of the country. Data collection and analysis will benefit from protection and other clusters’ monitoring and or stand-alone assessments, to inform strategic decisions on targeting of limited resources and identification of appropriate interventions. Partners will support peaceful coexistence through activities targeting affected communities hosting and/or integrating IDPs. This includes fostering communication and dialogue, ensuring access to overstretched basic services and improving livelihoods. Mechanisms for inclusive dialogue between local authorities, host communities and IDPs will be fostered using existing structures but also media and other non-traditional channels of communication. Communities consultations will inform prioritization of cash for work programs which will not only result in emergency job creation, but also in increased access to essential public services, complementing the education, WASH and health clusters’ initiatives. In order to ensure sustainable transition towards longer-term initiatives, partners will engage with authorities and the private sector to promote sustainable livelihoods for the most vulnerable host community and IDP families. This will include access to credit, grants, cash assistance, market assessments and vocational skills training initiatives. 48 The sector will ensure to complement the early recovery activities of other clusters to ensure synergy and common ‘Do No Harm’ approaches. In particular, it will coordinate closely with the Protection and the Communication with Communities working group as well as the Food Security Clusters to ensure complementarity between agricultural and non-agricultural livelihoods initiatives.
