Description:
January 2022 – There are an estimated 2.5 million Iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance, of whom over 900,000 are in acute need. Out of the 6 million people displaced during the conflict against Daesh, more than 1 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, Oxfam-Québec is providing water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and protection assistance to vulnerable internally displaced persons, returnees and host communities in Iraq. Project activities include: (1) rehabilitating and upgrading water supply systems and sanitation facilities; (2) delivering hygiene promotion activities; (3) providing case management and legal counselling to survivors of sexual and gender-based violence; (4) strengthening solid and medical waste management systems in health centres; (5) providing psychosocial support activities; and (6) providing training to community-based structures, including women and youth groups, on protection monitoring, case identification and referrals.
Organization:
Global Affairs Canada
Expected Results:
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased access to safe water supply and to safe, dignified and gender-sensitive sanitation facilities in communities and health centres; (2) improved awareness of safe hygiene practices; (3) improved access to gender-sensitive protection services for conflict-affected women, children and youth; and (4) strengthened community capacity to identify, refer and monitor protection needs and gaps.
The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
