XM-OCHA-CBPF-IRQ-22/3884/SA1/CASH/INGO/22386United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsCASH-RSP: Strengthening vulnerable returnees and IDPs’ capacities to access basic services in a safe and dignified way through multipurpose cash assistance (MPCA) and referrals while building toward more durable solutions through linkage to social protection schemes in Ninewa, Dohuk, Salah Al-Din and Al-AnbarACF, AGO and YAO, acting through a consortium, will address the immediate needs of highly vulnerable Iraqis through provision of immediate income sources to meet basic needs and reduce reliance on negative coping strategies, contributing to SO 3.2 and SO 3.3 of the HRP.
Through this project the consortium will provide critical cash assistance to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and returnees, prioritizing female-headed households (HHs), People with Disabilities (PwDs), people who are chronically ill, without shelter, limited/no access to aid and the socially and economically vulnerable. This project will be implemented in Baaj in Ninewa and Sumail in Dohuk (ACF), Tooz Khurmato in Salah Al-Din and Al-Ramadi in Al-Anbar Governorate (AGO) as well as Al-Fallujah in Anbar Governorate (YAO).. The consortium partners have current presence in the identified areas and first-hand knowledge of the displaced and returnee communities as well as their needs. The partners planned to provide assistance to 1,022 HHs (6,132 individuals): ACF will support 450 HHs (2,700 individuals), AGO will support 350 HHs (2,100 individuals) and YAO will support 222 HHs (1,332 individuals). Based on preliminary assessments, the consortium anticipates that 491 HHs will fall under the R2 (most vulnerable) category to be provided with 880,000 IQD in one lump sum and 531 HHs will meet criteria of R4 (catastrophic) who will receive 440,000 IQD for 4 months to meet basic, humanitarian needs. However, due to significant variations in exchange rates between USD and IQD at the end of 2022, ACF observed an underspending in its MPCA budget. As a result, a revision request was submitted to IHF in March 2023, to use this remaining balance to support 22 additional HH (11 returnees from Baaj, 11 IDPs from Sumail) deemed eligible under R2 category (Activity 1.1.9). This change will enable the consortium to provide assistance to a total of 1,044 HH (6,255 individuals). Recognizing the compounding needs of the targeted populations, MPCA support will be paired with protection services and provided with a lens on protection mainstreaming. The consortium will lead a joint protection and gender risk analysis, host staff trainings (case identification, referral, conflict sensitivity, Do No Harm) and community information sessions as well as support inter-Cluster referrals. While compounding protection needs are expected to be the most commonplace, partners will also support other Cluster referrals based on identified need. Based on learning from the consortium’s previous projects together and other actions in these target locations, the project has mainstreamed inclusivity and sustainability. The project will also work through a civil society strengthening and research approach to address the underlying barriers preventing humanitarian caseloads’ matriculation into government social protection schemes. Community-Based Committees (CbC) comprised of diverse community members and authorities will support beneficiary selection to increase community buy-in for and support in diffusing potential conflicts. CbCs will lead dialogues between informal settlement and host communities to discuss key issues, common policy needs and priority advocacy items. At the community level, CbCs will lead awareness campaigns on barriers / to improve community buy in for enrolment in PDS. With authorities, CbCs will be supported to lead advocacy on reopening registration of social protection assistance and highlighting current barriers to Public Distribution System (PDS) registration. To support localization, the consortium will invest in a diverse peer to peer capacity building to capitalize on the different partners’ strengths. Based on the results of a partnership assessment and the consortium due diligence, ACF will support the partners in strengthening their institutional capacities in Finance, Logistic, Fund raising and Donor compliance through provision of training and secondment.Action Contre la faimAction Contre la faimAid Gate Organization for Economic DevelopmentAl-Ta#39;awun Social ServiceIraq Humanitarian FundKatherine Phoebe Thomas-CanfieldCountry Director+964 751 120 5868cd@iq-actionagainsthunger.orgMuhammad AamirDeputy Country Director+964 750 020 0934deputycd-er@iq-actionagainsthunger.orgSeverin VandewalleFinance Head of Department+964 750 020 0939hodfi@iq-actionagainsthunger.orgAl-Anbar33.10960000 41.51770000Duhok37.06340000 43.16760000Ninewa36.01910000 42.49440000Salah Al-Din34.56240000 43.62030000Multi-Sector740231.03548516.511288747.54Iraq Humanitarian FundAction Contre la faim773248.52Iraq Humanitarian FundAction Contre la faim515499.02Iraq Humanitarian FundAction Contre la faimIraq BI 2022XM-OCHA-CBPF-IRQ-22/3884/SA1/CASH/INGO/22457United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsVulnerable out of camp IDPs and returnees across four governorates in Iraq have access to cash assistance and referral services to reduce reliance on negative coping mechanismsIn line with the 2022 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) and cluster strategy, this project aims to:
- reduce reliance on negative coping mechanisms for catastrophically and extremely vulnerable households (HHs) thanks to the provision of cash assistance and referral services
- strengthen the technical and institutional capacities of local NGOs.
This project will entail the distribution of Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) to 876 vulnerable households identified in Salah al-Din, Ninewa, Kirkuk and Diyala. The consortium partners, People in Need (PIN), Sorouh for Sustainable Development Foundation (SSDF) and Women Empowerment Organization (WEO) are currently implementing an MPCA IHF-funded project in two of the target locations and all partners are active members of the Cash Working Group (CWG). This project will allow the consortium to build on previous experience in cash programming, to draw on lessons learnt, extend current coverage and to guarantee continuity of the intervention in two of the target locations.
Following cluster guidance on MPCA, beneficiaries will be selected on the basis of their vulnerability score through the Integrated Socio-Economic Assessment (ISEA). Extremely vulnerable individuals (R2 category) will receive a one-off assistance covering two months of basic needs (880,000 IQD in total, around 600 USD) and catastrophically vulnerable individuals (R4 category) will receive assistance each month (of the value of 440,000 IQD, around 300 USD) for a period of four months (for a total of 1,760,000 IQD, around 1,200 USD).
Through a gender mainstreaming approach, the activities have been designed to ensure the safe participation of women and Persons with Disability (PwDs), while at the same time respecting local social norms. Highly vulnerable HHs such as those living in critical shelter, female-headed households and individuals lacking civil documentation and PwDs will be prioritized, in line with the 2022 HRP. At least 60% of the beneficiaries will be women and 10% will be PwDs.
Selected beneficiaries will receive the Financial Health Encouragement (FHE) training aimed to increase their financial literacy and improve household budget management. In addition, in line with the durable solutions approach, partners will refer beneficiaries to complementary services identified through the new Referral Mechanism to Sectoral Services to link the provision of humanitarian assistance with longer-term development goals.
Post-Distribution Monitoring (PDMs) will be conducted at the end of each round of cash distribution to understand the impact of MPCA on beneficiaries and communities. Thanks to market analysis and PDMs, partners will also monitor the market conditions after the cash injection.
The consortium will assist a total of 876 beneficiaries in the following locations:
- PIN will cover 346 beneficiaries in Al-Hatra: 157 R2 (45%) and 189 R4 (55%)
- WEO will cover 130 beneficiaries in Baquba (Diyala) and 160 in Balad (Salah al-Din): 145 R2 (50%) and 145 R4 (50%)
- SSDF will cover 170 beneficiaries in Al-Hawiga (Kirkuk) and 70 beneficiaries in Balad (Salah al-Din): 117 R2 (50% for Balad and 48% for Hawiga) and 123 R4 (50% for Balad and 52% for Hawiga).
Due to exchange rate fluctuation between the months of December 2022 and March 2023, PIN and WEO will also add one last R2 distribution round to cover additional 60 additional beneficiaries from their back-up list. The beneficiaries will be from Balad, Baquba and Hatra and will receive a one-off 880,000 IQD distribution.
Additionally, by dedicating specific human and material resources to the capacity building of local partners, the consortium will help strengthening institutional capacities of local partners, ensuring that humanitarian assistance is increasingly based on local resources. Localization is also reflected on the budget division, where local NGOs will manage around 56% of the total budget.People in NeedPeople in NeedSorouh for Sustainable Development FoundationWomen Empowerment Organization (WEO)Iraq Humanitarian FundAnnette SavocaEarly Recovery Programme Manager+964 (0) 751 801 3840annette.savoca@peopleinneed.netSarah FewkesPrograms Director+964 (0) 772 978 9843sarah.fewkes@peopleinneed.netTahmina MammadovaFinance and Compliance Manager+964 (0) 772 978 9761tahmina.mammadova@peopleinneed.netDiyala33.95040000 45.12100000Kirkuk35.34340000 44.15070000Ninewa36.01910000 42.49440000Salah Al-Din34.56240000 43.62030000Multi-Sector687968.44509789.561197758.00Iraq Humanitarian FundPeople in Need718654.80Iraq Humanitarian FundPeople in Need479103.20Iraq Humanitarian FundPeople in Need727.60People in NeedUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIraq BI 2022XM-OCHA-CBPF-IRQ-22/3884/SA1/P/INGO/22383United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsProviding specialized protection services to vulnerable returnees and IDPs in Duhok and Ninawa governorates, IraqDorcas and Harikar propose an integrated humanitarian intervention to address the critical protection needs of 7,260 IDPs and returnees in Ninawa and Duhok governorates. By applying community-based approaches to address, prevent, and respond to protection risks to their physical safety and wellbeing, this project will specifically address urgent humanitarian needs by providing essential and specialized protection services to IDP and returnee households facing acute protection needs as a direct result of the ISIL crisis. Dorcas and Harikar will deliver the intended services by setting up three static Protection Community Centers (PCCs) in Al-Baaj and Al-Hatra in Ninawa, as well as the Sumail district in Duhok. The interventions are based on the latest assessments and protection monitoring to ensure that the most vulnerable populations will be assisted. Vulnerable people affected by the displacement between 2014 and 2017 will be prioritized, especially those living in critical shelters or who lost their civil documentation or cannot access essential services or livelihood opportunities. Protection Community centers (PCCs) will provide case management services, PSS, legal counseling, legal assistance for family law issues and HLP, and cash for protection. In addition, the consortium will provide essential information to communities about services available within their communities and support their access through referral mechanisms to multi-sectoral interventions at PCC or by mobile units. The project was designed based on in-depth needs assessments conducted in Hatra, Baaj, and Sumel by Dorcas and Harikar before the project design and the MCNA IX April 2022 report. The full report of the assessment was not written. Otherwise, all the information needed was explained in the proposal. At a later stage of the project, Dorcas will share the report. Dorcas will conduct protection assessment for identifying protection risks and providing this information back into programming to strengthen the response. Harikar staff will also have a comprehensive training opportunity provided by Dorcas to develop their technical and operational expertise. The community leaders, volunteers, as well as local authorities will receive training in the areas of general protection as well as international humanitarian law.
Dorcas will conduct protection monitoring, service referrals, and Legal assistance and counseling activities, while Harikar will provide cash for protection, GP case management, and psychosocial support. Static protection community centers will set up in Baaj, Hatra in Ninawa governorate in addition to Sumel in Duhok governorate. Dorcas will identify the PIN, then refer to Harikar, and Harikar will assess the needs and response through cash assistance to mitigate protection risks. Dorcas’s theory of change focuses on localization as a way of working approach. Working from the same community centers can enhance mixed teams and improve capacity building through an on-job approach. Dorcas and Harikar project will work together in the targeted location (Harikar NGO will provide PSS support, Case management, and cash for protection while Dorcas will provide Legal assistance and counseling on civil documentation and HLP, protection Monitoring at household level and Community-Level, Service Referrals and capacity-building for consortium partner, community leader, and Gov staff).Dorcas Aid InternationalDorcas Aid InternationalHarikar NGOIraq Humanitarian FundWisam Obayes Country Director +964 751 2261779w.obayes@iraq.dorcas.orgSargon Oraha Protection Program Manager +964 750 7436604s.oraha@iraq.dorcas.orgDuhok37.06340000 43.16760000Ninewa36.01910000 42.49440000Protection258056.87191943.13450000.00Iraq Humanitarian FundDorcas Aid International270000.00Iraq Humanitarian FundDorcas Aid International180000.00Iraq Humanitarian FundDorcas Aid International106.27Dorcas Aid InternationalUnited Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsIraq BI 2022XM-OCHA-CBPF-IRQ-22/3884/SA1/P/INGO/22456United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsSupporting vulnerable returnees and out camp IDPs by providing comprehensive general protection wellbeing services in IraqThe proposed project aims to provide protection assistance to 12,948 vulnerable returnees and out-of-camp IDPs and institutional capacity building for 36 local agency (NNGOs/CSOs) staff in Ninewa, Anbar, Diyala and Salah Al-Din governorates reaching a cummulative direct target of 12,984 individuals.. The 8-month project will be implemented by a consortium including Cordaid (INGO and lead agency), and two national NGOs, AAF, and Yazda. Comprehensive support and protection services will be provided to vulnerable returnees and out-of-camp IDPs as well as community-based interventions addressing safety, wellbeing and social integration community-wide.
The scope of the first proposed project intervention is providing increased access to general support and protection services to vulnerable people needing to rebuild their lives and livelihoods. These services include a) case management (including referrals to specialized services), b) cash for protection, c) community-based protection activities and d) outreach, structured individual and group psychosocial support (PSS), e) legal assistance and f) awareness, counselling and protection monitoring at the household level .
The Cordaid-AAF-Yazda consortium brings together the technical, operational and complementary geo-positioning to leverage capacities, to ensure coverage and acceptance of the services in each community targeted. This consortium will be effective, build synergies, encourage community ownership and work towards localization.
The comprehensive protection services for these specific target groups will be provided in the following locations:
Ramadi district – Anbar governorate (by Cordaid)
Baquba district – Diyala governorate (by Cordaid)
Tooz Khormatu district – Salah Al-Din governorate (by AAF)
Qahtaniya (Ger Ezear), Siba SheikhKhider. Village,Wardeya – Baaj district – Ninewa governorate (by Yazda)
The geographical allocation within the consortium is based on the previous operational presence of each agency in each of these locations existing entry points in and acceptance by communities the experience and expertise available on the ground to ensure prompt activation of services or extension of existing protection services to newly arriving vulnerable individuals at their respective communities.
The second proposed project intervention will focus on strengthening the institutional capacities of local agencies operating in the above-mentioned governorates to promote ownership and localization, to enhance sustainability through an effective handover of responsibilities. This will be part of the project exit strategy. This will be done through coordination with the sub-clusters in each of the targeted governorates to identify local agencies and government bodies. Cordaid will develop the institutional capacities of these agencies in areas such as PCM, MEAL, MHPSS, PSEA/GP policies, finance, and admin practices, and reporting, and developing SOPs for security, risk and compliance management and/or other specific areas based on the existing capacity gaps identified for each of these agencies. This support will also be extended to the NNGOs within the consortium (AAF and Yazda). A capacity-building plan will be developed by Cordaid based on a rapid needs assessment .
Coordination and information sharing between the consortium partners working across the targeted geographical areas will take place on a regular basis at different levels and across capacities (technical, operational, financial). Synergies will be sought to ensure equal quality of services across the locations. Monthly consortium meetings will be organized by Cordaid for monitoring progress, identifying best practices or identifying gaps and sharing technical expertise.

4. Strengthening of technical and institutional capacity of SSORD personnel, including 132 men and women
5. CP community outreach and awareness raising to 12,323 out-of-camp IDPs and returnees
The consortium seeks to leverage the ongoing partnership between Tdh and SSORD across multiple donor-funded projects across Iraq, including the current IHF-funded project in four districts closing end of August 2022. This partnership allows for quality implementation, strong operational presence, access to zones of intervention and robust working relationships with national authorities and communities in the four districts with existing IHF-funded project activities, as well as expansion to three other districts where Tdh and SSORD have history, presence or programming.
Contributing to the IHF 2022 First Standard Allocation and CP Sub-cluster’s priorities, Tdh and SSORD proposes to implement eight months of CP activities in Al-Fallujah, Ramadi, Al-Hawiga (Hawiga Center (Al-Nida neighborhood, Al-Thawra neighborhood, Al-Askari neighborhood) Al-Abaasi Center, Shmit village, Arassa village), Al-Baaj, Al-Hatra, Balad and Tooz Khurmato. The project will target OOC IDPs and returnees, including recent returnees from Al-Howl Camp in areas with significant response gaps having the highest severity scale. The assistance will reach 18,820 individuals, comprising of 17,250 returnees and 1,570 out-of-camp IDPs. The project will maintain the capacity to respond to needs arising from camp closures, movement of IDPs and returnees from Al-Howl Camp in Northeast Syria.
Tdh will oversee the proposed project to ensure activities between Tdh and SSORD are harmonized and implemented with high quality. Tdh will work with SSORD to build upon the capacity strengthening plan with continued and expanded technical capacity (i.e., for CPIMS+), and an enhanced focus on operational and organizational needs.

Justice Center Iraq (JCI) is planning to implement an eight-month General Protection intervention in Salah al-Din (Tooz Khurmato) and Ninawa (Al-Hatra and Baaj), which are the most affected areas in North Iraq continuing to be in high need of specialized protection and legal assistance. This priority intervention of this project is to meet the needs of the most vulnerable and marginalized groups affected by displacement and conflict, including children, People with Disabilities, women, and female-headed households. The responses will include the minorities and persons with perceived affiliations as well. JCI will continue to work effectively to reach the objectives of the project through a complementary approach to provide legal assistance and counseling, raise awareness of protection and legal issues, and conduct protection monitoring linked to referrals in Ninawa. In Salah al-Din, JCI will directly provide legal and general protection services to vulnerable OoC IDPs and returnees. To address the needs of vulnerable and marginalized groups in targeted locations.JCI will work collaboratively with humanitarian actors operating in the areas of response to meet the needs of these communities.
Justice Center Iraq will use a mixed approach to ensure that JCI is reaching as many vulnerable people as possible.JCI takes into its consideration the mainstream of COVID-19 prevention measures in its designed action. This can be achieved through the integration of both mobile and static approaches, to offer alternative modalities of service delivery options for vulnerable beneficiaries with limited access to services.
JCI has supported the Community Representative Groups (CRGs) under its partnership with partners, the Community Representative Groups were established to strengthen their capacity, ownership, advocacy initiatives, and action plans, which are determined by the communities themselves. JCI will take benefit from the experiences received from implementation projects with partners to establish three CRGs to assist the local community in identifying protection issues and participating in decision-making through negotiations, advocacy, and coordination with the responsible governmental directorates. JCI will train CRG on various protection initiatives for a better understanding of the protection context in their community. JCI will mainstream social cohesion by holding protection awareness sessions on mitigating tensions within the areas of return and for those with perceived affiliation as well as working towards the transition to durable solutions. In addition, JCI will conduct dialogues among the CRG members to ensure safe identification for the most vulnerable beneficiaries as well as highlight significant protection concerns within the target locations.The Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in IraqThe Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in IraqIraq Humanitarian FundAdnan GoraniGrants and Development Manager+9647504699202info@justice-center-iraq.orgSaher Abdullah JasimCountry Director+9647707937990director@justice-center-iraq.orgAmer SaeedFinance Manager+9647729134093finance.manager@justice-center-iraq.orgNinewa36.01910000 42.49440000Salah Al-Din34.56240000 43.62030000Protection142569.39107443.60250012.99Iraq Humanitarian FundThe Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in Iraq100005.20Iraq Humanitarian FundThe Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in Iraq75003.90Iraq Humanitarian FundThe Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in Iraq74950.46Iraq Humanitarian FundThe Justice Center to Support Marginalized Groups in IraqIraq BI 2022XM-OCHA-CBPF-IRQ-22/3884/SA1/WASH/INGO/22425United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsImprove access to water and sanitation services to address life-threatening needs and ensure sustainable community-level solutions.With operational presence and implementation capacity in areas targeted by the proposed project, the consortium - comprised of the Lutheran World Federation (LWF), Peace Wind Japan (PWJ) and Dijla Agriculture Association (DAA) - aim to protect, from the consequences of the 2014-2017 crisis and the humanitarian impact of COVID-19 (C-19), 20,194 returnees and out-of-camp IDPs (28% women 28% men, 22% boys, 22% girls) including 1,010 PWDs, in Al-Hatra and Al-Baaj districts in Ninewa Governorate and in Summel district in Duhok governorate. In line with the allocation strategy priorities, the partners will address gaps in WASH affecting acutely vulnerable returnees and out-of-camp IDPs in selected underserved areas. In accordance with cluster/sector guidelines, vulnerable groups most impacted, including GBV survivors, women, men, children, elderly persons at risk of SEA, female-headed households, and PWD will be prioritized.
In the fifth year after the conclusion of large-scale military operations against the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), 961,000 people are still in acute need of humanitarian services. To address the challenges in meeting the basic WASH needs, this project aims to provide sustainable and durable water and sanitation support services and promote hygiene practices for acutely vulnerable out of camp IDPs and returnees. Water provision and sanitation will be improved through solid waste management and the light rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure. Additionally, this project will also improve the hygiene practices in the affected population through hygiene awareness session and distribution of IEC materials. PWJ will implement all project activities in Summel reaching 5,360 people, DAA will implement project activities in Hatra reaching 5,324 people, and LWF will implement activities in Baaj reaching 9,520 people.
Localization is key to bridge the divide between aid/relief and sustainable development initiatives. The sustainability of the project relies on government and local partners’ ability to continue operating WASH services. An exit strategy is planned to ensure that capacity sits with local entities that remain long-term near the crisis affected-population. As part of this exit strategy, the international consortium members will help build the technical capacity of local government and the organizational capacity of the NNGO consortium member, DAA. To ensure effective handover of WASH services and facilities, technical trainings will be provided to local government staff on care and maintenance and service provision along with development of maintenance SOP to ensure that can be properly maintained after the project ends. Based on an organizational capacity assessment, LWF will support DAA to strengthen its institutional capacity in areas such as financial management, procurement, CRM, PSEA, and MampE systems.
Building on its strong track record in WASH in Dohuk and Ninewa Governorates, LWF, PWJ and DAA are well positioned to implement the proposed eight-months project. With long-standing experience in implementing WASH interventions, the project will build on existing activities and will be carried out in close collaboration with government authorities, international and local organizations, and the target population.
