Description:
January 2020 – In 2020, there are an estimated 4.1 million Iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 1.77 million are in acute need. Out of the 6 million displaced people during the conflict against Daesh, more than 1.4 million people remain internally displaced. Those directly affected by the conflict against Daesh, particularly those who were displaced and whose lives and livelihoods were uprooted and destroyed, continue to require humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs.
With GAC’s support, Humanity and Inclusion (HI) is providing specialized and comprehensive health and protection services for vulnerable Iraqis living with physical, functional and psychological challenges. Project activities include: (1) providing physical and functional rehabilitation services, including the provision of assistive devices, to people with disabilities and their caregivers; (2) providing psychosocial support services to address conflict-related trauma and psychological distress; (3) providing skills training, equipment and resources to local health service providers; (4) conducting direct risk education activities on the threat posed by explosive ordnance, including improvised explosive devices (IEDs); and (5) improving the accessibility of local services and structures.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access and availability of gender, age and disability tailored quality physical and functional rehabilitation services and psychosocial support; (2) increased access to gender, age and disability tailored lifesaving information and increased engagement to manage risks related to explosive ordnance including IEDs; and (3) increased access to basic services through improved community awareness on inclusion and stigma reduction and support for basic infrastructure changes.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
