Needs

75% of subsidised health care provided to refugees by NGOs is provided primarily by Caritas and Refuge Egypt. This disadvantages those who do not live close to this facility and are scattered across the city in the Governorates of Cairo, Giza and 6th of October. Another challenge is the lack of comprehensiveness of health care, as unlike in the public healthcare system the services offered are limited to curative primary and emergency healthcare with ad hoc referral support for secondary and tertiary interventions. The affordability of health care is another challenge, particularly for refugees and asylum seekers with limited resources.

There is little health and nutrition assistance which is focussed on prevention and promotion at the household and refugee community levels. Health problems, particularly malnutrition continues to be a significant threat to Iraqi refugee children health status. Refuge Egypt is currently running a successful Well Baby Clinic for children & mothers. This project aims to expand the clinic and increase services on antenatal and postnatal care including rehabilitation of malnourished children. The clinic based services will be complemented with PHC outreach programme to provide homebased support and awareness for households having children under-five; besides, a medial referral system will be established for needy cases.

Activities

Sector working group members will carry out a number of activities to facilitate the access of refugees and asylum seekers to public health facilities. This includes:

1) improve access of needy refugee communities to subsidised health care on curative primary and emergency care in a decentralised manner (through a network of healthcare providers in the targeted locations);

2) provide support to public and private nongovernmental health care providers to increase the capacity of selected health facilities in targeted refugee populated areas to improve access and quality of services for refugees on integrated PHC;

3) provide psychosocial support for affected Iraqi refugee children and mothers;

4) create social awareness about the importance of immunisation, family care, and breastfeeding;

5)support Well Baby Clinics of Refugee Egypt to provide expanded services including ANC, PNC and rehabilitation of malnourished children;

6) provide PHC outreach programme to provide homebased support and awareness for households having children under-five;

7) establish a medical referral system with public and private nongovernmental health care providers for those with special needs.

Crosscutting themes:

The project will be complemented with PHC outreach programme to provide homebased support and awareness for households having children under-five; and a medical referral system will be established for needy cases.

Outcomes

Page 1 of 355

1) Iraqi refugees access to decentralised subsidised health care is improved (95% coverage of emergency and primary health care needs).

2) The capacity of health care providers and health workers is enhanced in providing quality of services for refugee (curative, preventive and promotive care).

3) 2,000 Iraqi refugee children received comprehensive health screening (immunisation control, infant and young child feeding).

Indicators

To be used to measure project impact will include:

1) # of Iraqi refugee benefiting from subsidised primary and emergency health care;

2) # of health facilities (public or nongovernmental) whose capacity has been increased to address needs of Iraqi refugees;

3) # of U5 children whose health and nutrition status have significantly improved;

4) # of mothers who benefited from the ANC/PNC of the Well Baby Clinics.

Needs

Iraqi children of primary and secondary school age are unable to enrol in public schools in Egypt, and therefore have to register in more expensive private schools. As a result many Iraqis have difficulty affording and sustaining support for the education of their children in schools, including payment of school fees, uniforms, transportation, books and other associated costs. UNHCR provides education assistance to refugee and asylum seeker students in the form of individual education grants, covering childrens school fees. However, technical support and counselling services are necessary for both the schools and the children to support childrens retention in schools and enhance their performance.

Activities

1.Training schools management and teachers on counselling and dealing with children in emergency situations, to enable them to provide childrens educational as well as psychosocial needs.

2.Provision of institutional capacity building to implementing NGOs to be able to support the establishment of evening/make up classes for children in their schools in addition to provision of learning material.


Training of school management will integrate the CRC as the basic principles governing the interaction with the target group.

Outcomes

4,000 school age children enrolled and retained in schools.

Indicators:

To be used to measure project impact will include:

1) number of children enrolled in schools;

2) number of children continue to the next level.

Priority


Needs

The concentration of displaced Iraqis in the vast urban context of Cairo results in a more difficult access to health services, especially psychosocial care. While most registered refugees have access to health care through UNHCRs network of partners, anecdotal evidence suggests that a growing number of them also access public services. Nonetheless, the stigma and low awareness levels associated with psychosocial problems among Iraqi community and local Egyptian health staff lead to low levels of detection and assistance. This project will complement ongoing psychosocial response programmes by enhancing the technical capacity of government health care providers to provide psychosocial services in areas with high concentration of Iraqis and by linking these structures to existing nongovernmental services. Extending the findings of IOMs Assessment on the Psychosocial Needs of Iraqis displaced elsewhere in the region, displaced Iraqis in Egypt are likely to face several psychosocial threats, mainly arising from the social, cultural, economic and personal insecurity associated with prolonged displacement. Specifically, Iraqis in Egypt also suffer from the chronic deficiencies of the Egyptian health care system, especially with respect to psychosocial health.

Activities

Producing and disseminating of a rapid assessment of psychosocial distress among Iraqis in Egypt.

Developing and delivering an Executive Master programme in Arabic for 20 Egyptian mental health professionals (psychiatrist, psychologists, community health workers) on displacement and violencerelated distress and respective response within the context of displacement.

Developing and delivering three training sessions on Psychosocial Consequences of Displacement and War targeting 90 humanitarian stakeholders involved in psychosocial programming.

Developing and delivering five training sessions on Basic counselling and communication skills for 100 representatives from NGOs, nurses, social and community workers including skills necessary for identification and referral.

Developing, translating and disseminating a booklet related to training activities on psychosocial interventions in displacement situations.

A taskforce to integrate governmental and nongovernmental provision of psychosocial care and establishing comprehensive referral mechanisms will be established.


The project will give priority to vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, including female headed households, minors, elderly, people living with disabilities, victims of ill treatment and abuse, and other vulnerable groups. Vulnerability criteria will be agreed upon during the early stages of project implementation, in coordination with project partners.

Outcomes

Needs

As the leading organisation in migration management services, IOM is specialised in the facilitation of orderly, humane and costeffective return and reintegration assistance and operations. In the region, IOM has been operating since 2003 a regional return and reintegration mechanism via its Regional Operations Centre (ROC), which is established within the IOM Mission in Iraq to support Iraqis wishing to return and third country nationals stranded in Iraq. In coordination with the Iraqi Government, as well as with relevant agencies, national and international authorities and governments, non governmental partners and relevant IOM missions in host countries, the ROC provides assistance to stranded Iraqis wishing to return home and supports longterm solution (reintegration). Within this framework, IOM Cairo has supported returns of Iraqis from Egypt in recent years.

IOMs latest Returnee Monitoring Needs Assessment, carried out in coordination with the Iraqi Ministry of Displacement and Migration, confirms that Iraqi families displaced abroad and internally are returning in increasing numbers to the Iraqi capital Baghdad and other parts of the country. This may be partially attributable to some improvements in the general security situation in Iraq, especially Baghdad, as well as a deteriorating socioeconomic situation among the most vulnerable displaced Iraqi communities. In Egypt, a substantial number of Iraqis registered with UNHCR Cairo closed their files in 2008, predominately to return to Iraq. This trend is expected to continue and increase in 2009. Accordingly, there is a significant need for assistance to facilitate the safe and orderly voluntary return of Iraqis and ensure that their return is undertaken in accordance with generally accepted human rights principles. In addition, while returns increase, the Government of Iraq remains illprepared to adequately cater for the considerable and diverse needs of returnees. Some returnees find their homes occupied by others, leading to secondary displacement. Unless provided with immediate assistance for reinsertion and reintegration, their need for humanitarian aid is likely to be exacerbated.

Within the framework of this project, IOM Cairo will continue to support the Iraqis returning from Egypt with reintegration assistance through existing or planned schemes operated by the Regional Operations Centre. Reintegration assistance may include (subject to funding availability): counseling and referral to local branches of Ministry of Displacement and Migration (MoDM), Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs (MoLSA) and NGOs for financial, legal, shelter and/or medical assistance; assistance with individual/family immediate NFI needs; assistance with individual/family training needs (language, literacy, vocational training), and family business plan elaboration; provision of limited startup financial support for training and micro businesses within parameters of available funds; job search and placement of highly qualified returnees in cooperation with MoDM and MoLSA (health, education); mobilisation of complementary Government funds for additional socioeconomic assistance and to meet other reintegration needs of the returnees; monitoring of and followup assistance for all cases for a period of three months.

Activities

Page 8 of 355

PreDeparture assistance: Referral of potential beneficiaries to IOM by the Iraqi Embassy in Egypt, UNHCR or the Government of Egypt, based on their informed decision to return voluntarily to Iraq; thorough screening of applicants and provision of return counseling to ascertain voluntariness, and assess individual needs, in order to facilitate caseload prioritisation (vulnerable groups & highly qualified nationals such as medical doctors/nurses & teachers); distribution of detailed information on availability and modalities of IOM return & reintegration assistance; health screening and clearance; assistance with travel documents, assistance to resolve any outstanding issues such as overstayed visas.

Transportation assistance: Ticketing; transport to the airport; checkin assistance; air transport with medical escort (where necessary); reception assistance in Iraq; secondary transportation to home communities (or, where appropriate, cash provision for individual secondary transportation arrangements.

Subject to funding availability, reintegration assistance will be provided in Iraq through the IOM Regional Operations Centre and its network of operational partners in Iraq.


The project will give priority to vulnerable and disadvantaged groups, including female headed households, minors, elderly, people living with disabilities, victims of ill treatment and abuse, and other vulnerable groups. Vulnerability criteria will be agreed upon during the early stages of project implementation, in coordination with project partners.

Outcomes

1,500 Iraqis in Egypt are assisted in a dignified and organised manner with predeparture, transport and postarrival return assistance to/in their home communities in Iraq.

Priority


Needs

In Egypt, the main providers of health care services for displaced Iraqis are the Ministry of Health and Population through its public facilities and also through UNHCR where Caritas/Egypt is provides necessary services. Additionally there are several small scale charities, mostly administered by religious organisations, that provide limited health services for extremely vulnerable Iraqi families.

Estimates of the number of Iraqis in Egypt range from 70,000 to 100,000, of whom about 10,191 are registered with UNHCR. Generally, the more affluent Iraqis use the private sector for all their health services. The majority of Iraqis registered with UNHCR utilise Caritas clinics and a network of health care providers. These people are generally poorer and more vulnerable. The health information systems collects data on nationality but the government does not disaggregate this data by nationalities. UNHCR and its implementing partner Caritas use three different databases for displaced Iraqis, which have different purposes and thus do not link with each other, and have their own case definitions, disease classifications, patient demographics, etc.

There is a need for technical assistance to coordinate these systems and develop effective mechanisms for data sharing that can produce valid health statistics for the Iraqi population from public, private and NGO clinics. These statistics would then be used for evidence based management, public health surveillance, decisionmaking and the development of better targeted and more effective assistance programming.

Activities

Joint evaluation of existing HIS is used by the MoHP, UNHCR and Caritas to determine existing resources, data, statistics, and the mechanisms needed to coordinate them.

Agreement between all healthcare providers to share all nonsensitive health data on Iraqi patients on a quarterly basis.

Develop a mechanism (database) that can be used to integrate all the HIS data in an efficient manner.

Strengthening the disease surveillance system in the MoHP / Disease Surveillance Department

WHO will send out consolidated health reports including health trends, disease surveillance, vital statistics, morbidity and mortality, birth rate, and demographic/health related information.


The project will address protection and vulnerability considerations such as age, gender, and disability, by ensuring better targeted health services are available for all patients.

Needs

The civil unrest and deteriorating security over the past few years inside Iraq has driven nearly 2,000,000 Iraqis outside Iraq, some 70,000 of whom are now living in Egypt. Some of those had left their country due to the lack of good medical services for life threatening conditions (cancers, renal failure, thalassaemia and coronary heart diseases). Many of these patients are considered to be vulnerable, because they are dislocated from their country and their resources are depleting. The majority are not capable of covering the cost of their treatment, many of whom are children suffering from leukaemia and other childhood cancers.

The main health care providers for such conditions in Egypt are those health facilities affiliated to the MoHP. Some private hospitals are also providers of health services to Iraqis. There is an urgent need to cover the cost of treating these patients and improve their quality of life.

Activities

Sign a MoU with one or more tertiary level health facility to provide services for the selected cases.

Establish a committee in which all partners are represented to follow up, coordinate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the project on quarterly basis.

Review and agree on the selection criteria for patients covered by the funds under the project.

Quarterly technical reports and end of year technical and financial reports will be submitted by the contracted facility(s).


The project will address protection and vulnerability through provision of treatment to vulnerable Iraqis with cancer, renal failure, thalassemia and coronary heart diseases. Clear psychosocial benefits will also be gained because peoples mental health will improve when they receive treatment of their physical conditions.

Outcomes

Access to treatment for vulnerable Iraqis with life threatening conditions.

Support to Iraqis with life saving measures.

Improved quality of life of the patients covered by the project as well as their families.

Indicators:

Coordination meetings between WHO and the national implementing partners will take place on quarterly basis. Quarterly technical reports and end of term technical and financial reports will be submitted.

Indicators that will be monitored are as follows:

(i) MoU between WHO and national IPs will be signed;

(ii) Selection criteria for beneficiaries agreed upon;

(iii) Number of Iraqi patients with cancer, renal failure, thalassaemia and coronary heart diseases treated under the project;

(iv) Treatment outcomes at the end of the project implementation period.

Needs

A total of 10,191 Iraqi nationals are currently registered with UNHCR in Egypt seeking protection and support. UNHCR, in cooperation with the Arab Republic of Egypt ensures protection from refoulement, access to healthcare, education and assistance to those with special needs and the most destitute to contribute to covering their basic needs.

Healthcare is unaffordable, and therefore, UNHCR provides subsidised emergency and primary healthcare through its partner Caritas. With the support of other medical facilities, UNHCR provides access to services in a more decentralised manner. UNHCR also provides financial assistance with regard to education. Iraqi refugee children of primary and secondary school age are unable to enrol in public schools in Egypt. Therefore, they register in more expensive private schools (fees for which range between 1,4005,000 EGP) to pursue education.

UNHCR currently provides limited financial and emergency assistance to most Iraqis with special needs and the most destitute of the refugees and asylum seekers from Iraq. This support covers not more than 30% of basic needs, in particular food and housing, and with the rising cost of living this support is insufficient and needs to be increased in 2009. Resettlement for persons whose special needs cannot be addressed in Egypt will continue to be pursued. A substantial number of Iraqis closed their files with UNHCR Cairo in 2008, largely to return to Iraq. This trend is expected to continue and increase. Iraqis who, following counseling and based on an informed decision, express the wish to return voluntarily to their country of origin will be supported to return on a case by case basis.

Activities

Provide protection against refoulement and documentation to Iraqi refugees and asylum-seekers.

Provide subsidised health care for primary and emergency health care, including in a decentralised manner.

Provide education grants to an estimated number of 2,500 Iraqi children of primary and secondary school age to contribute to fees and other education related expenses.

Carry out thorough and individual assessments of the social situation of Iraqi refugees and identify persons with special needs for appropriate support.

Provide financial assistance to the most destitute refugees and asylum seekers from Iraq.

Undertake necessary procedures and coordination to facilitate the voluntary return of Iraqis registered with UNHCR, expressing a wish to return based on a free and informed decision.

Provide transportation and a repatriation grant to support this return, as needed.


The project will be targeting all Iraqis refugees and asylum seekers with particular focus on vulnerable groups, persons with special needs, and most destitute Iraqi persons after individual assessment of their situation.

Needs

The MoHP and some international and national NGOs and charitable organisations are currently providing a variety of social services to the displaced Iraqis in Egypt. These services are vital to assisting vulnerable Iraqi families access their basic needs including health, education and protection. However, there is relatively low utilisation among Iraqis of government-provided social services.

Displaced Iraqis feel a great need for increased, more accurate, and more uptodate information from the international community and government about what services they can access; where, when and how. The provision of information and education to Iraqi families is currently poorly coordinated among various providers and no standard approach exists. This is exacerbated by the complexities of reaching out to an urbanbased refugee population where vulnerable families and individuals are much more difficult to identify and assist.

There is a need to produce a consolidated and integrated package of information for Iraqis and a more effective communication campaign based on direct outreach, communitybased action, and peertopeer contact. This will contribute to increasing access to and utilisation of health and social services among Iraqis.

Activities

Develop an integrated package of information that is userfriendly, easy to update, and contains a complete range of social and health services for Iraqi households a "Yellow Pages Directory". This will include all service providers and cover the full spectrum of social services; food, cash, healthcare, education, shelter, protection, immigration, etc.

Ensure that the MoHP clinics that provide services for Iraqis have been properly informed of all new administrative and payment procedures for Iraqi patients and comply with the national policy statement on health care provision to displaced Iraqis. Ensure compliance with these new regulations and determine the cost of care that Iraqis are paying through a rapid assessment of health payments at government health centres.

Conduct regular user satisfaction surveys to determine needs for improvement and/or strengthening.

Enhance Healthy lifestyles among displaced Iraqis.


The project will address protection and vulnerability considerations such as age, gender, and disability, by ensuring better health services are available for all patients.

Outcomes

Page 16 of 355

Access to improved health services for vulnerable Iraqis in need of health and medical care and other social services, particularly psychosocial services, will be achieved, while also benefiting vulnerable host community, which is a priority objective in the Health Sector Response Plan.

Better life styles for displaced iraqis are practiced.

Indicators:

Regular coordination meetings will be held on a monthly basis among the outreach working group and results will be shared with the Health Sector Working Group. WHO will provide technical assistance as needed. Indicators that will be monitored are as follows:

1) Yellow Pages Directory of all social services delivered to all Iraqi households;

2) User satisfaction rates (target: 50% improvement from baseline).

Priority


Needs

Displaced Iraqis in Egypt have access to medicines through a combination of governmental health care facilities, private health facilities, and Caritas clinics. With the increased load on health centres and hospitals, access of vulnerable Iraqis to drugs, especially those for chronic diseases has been reduced. The high cost of chronic disease treatment puts an additional strain on countries with developing economies; and the high cost of medicines paid by the MoH especially for chronic diseases adds significantly to the budget for hosting displaced Iraqis especially the more vulnerable.

The burden of chronic diseases among Iraqis living in Egypt is a serious health problem. A national household survey conducted in Iraq during 2006 / 2007 have shown a high prevalence of hypertension, diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular diseases. If such chronic conditions are not managed adequately, complications will arise imposing a higher cost of managing both the condition and the complication. Complications of diabetes include amputations, blindness, renal insufficiency and coronary insufficiency, while complications of hypertension include strokes and other cardiovascular incidents.

Activities

Provide primary health care centres serving areas with high concentrations of Iraqis with an additional quantity of drugs for hypertension, diabetes and coronary insufficiency, the items included should be similar to those approved by the MoHP for use at the primary level.

Base the estimated need on the gap created by providing drugs for displaced Iraqis with chronic disease during 2008.

Promote Rational Drug Use among Iraqis in Egypt

Develop the diseases management plans and guidelines at the primary level with reliable referral mechanism.

Assess the needs for supplies and equipment for the management of chronic diseases in primary health care centres where Iraqis reside.

Procure the needed supplies and equipment to fill the identified gaps.

Conduct studies on displaced Iraqis to identify barriers to access to medicines in health care services, as well as on compliance and self care.


The project will meet the needs of vulnerable Iraqis with chronic diseases who have limited access to treatment.

Needs

There are currently 2112 Iraqi refugees registered with UNHCR offices in Gulf Cooperation Council countries (Qatar 21, Bahrain 60, Saudi Arabia 153, Kuwait 565, United Arab Emirates 1269 and Oman 44). Many other unregistered Iraqis live in the region. The asylum seekers mainly arrive from Baghdad and the Southern part of Iraq on visitors visas. In certain cases they also arrived from Iraq directly on work visas. Besides, there is secondary movement of refugees from the neighboring countries to the GCC states and once they arrive they are then stranded and cannot return to Iraq because of the security situation in their places of residence. Because of the overstay of Iraqi refugees they are considered by the local authorities as illegal residents. As a result of their illegal resident status and lack of residence permit the Iraqi asylum seekers and refugee cannot enjoy freedom of movement and have no access to basic services, education and employment. This situation remains the same in all the GCC countries. In certain cases they are confronted with the risk of deportation.

Activities

The programme will be based and coordinated from UNHCR Regional

Office, Riyadh and the activities will take place in each mentioned country.

Register asylumseekers and provide refugees with UNHCR refugee certificates

Assist the vulnerable Iraqi refugees in speedy resettlement processing with the particular emphasis on refugee women, unaccompanied minors and separated children

Provide subsistence and medical assistance to the needy and vulnerable refugees

Conduct resettlement eligibility interviews and process and facilitate individual and family resettlement for protection, security, medical and family reunification cases.

Coordinate and facilitate the resettlement departures with International Organization of Migration, United States Bureau for Refugee, Population and Migration (USBPRM) and the concerned local authorities, and provide resettlement grants.


The project will have a priority towards the vulnerable refugees for speedy resettlement processing with the particular emphasis on single women refugees, separated and unaccompanied minor refugees. Besides, referrals for special needs of the vulnerable refugees will be conducted in cooperation with the Red Crescent Societies wherever possible.

Outcomes

Page 20 of 355

No Iraqi asylum seekers or refugees are deported; protection and physical safety of refugees is improved with the number of refugees facing arrests and deportation; Vast majority of asylum seekers approaching UNHCR or other UN agencies in the region where UNHCR has no presence are registered and subsequently interviewed for Resettlement eligibility; refugees are issued UNHCR refugee certificates; vulnerable refugees with specific needs assisted; and up to 300 persons resettled to a third country.

Indicators:

Quarterly Resettlement Statistical Report will be prepared and shared with the Resettlement Hub in Beirut and [email protected]. Indicators that will be monitored are as follows:

(i) An estimated 25 vulnerable Iraqi refugees are processed for resettlement and submitted to the USBPRM;

(ii) 275 Iraqi refugees in need of resettlement based on the established resettlement criteria are processed for resettlement and submitted to the USBPRM;

Needs

Iraqi new arrivals (post 2006) in Iran are registered by UNHCR, not the government (Ministry of Interior, Bureau for Aliens and Foreign Immigrant Affairs BAFIA). Those who arrived prior to 2005 (old caseload) are registered under a registration programme called Amayesh carried out by BAFIA in 2007. The related BAFIA database has yet to be shared with UNHCR. While some registered Iraqi refugees from the old caseload are voluntarily returning, others continue to arrive. The new arrivals need assistance in terms of guidance services during incountry travel and counseling on health/medical issues to avoid undue hardships created by the individuals ready to abuse the new arrivals, who find themselves in a new country in which they are neither familiar with the language nor the legal/administrative requirements. The maintenance of a transit facility in one border crossing station and individual counseling services in key refugee locations will continue to function in 2009.

Many Iraqi refugees suffer from serious health problems such as heart diseases, renal failure and cancer including children and are required to pay higher medical fees than Iranian nationals. An estimated 1,500 vulnerable Iraqi refugees (including the old caseload) will need individual assistance for medical emergencies and life threatening diseases. To reduce the burden on local health institutions, the hospitals receiving the most Iraqi refugees should also be supported to ensure the availability of medical services to the refugees and their host communities. Access to Iranian schools is only possible for the children whose parents are either registered by the authorities as refugees (old caseload) or with long visas, which is seldom the case. The parents are also required to pay municipality taxes prior to their children being accepted in the schools.

The growing trend of the old caseload to voluntary return is expected to continue (0 in 2006, 238 in 2007 and 1,093 in 2008 as of 25 September), with most of them returning under the selforganised transportation scheme within the framework of the individual case management policy for voluntary returns. Within this approach, refugees will be provided with individual counseling and assisted with incountry transportation costs and a cash grant if they make a voluntary, informed decision to return.

Needs

This project fills a large gap in the existing knowledge of the humanitarian condition of people living in Iraq. Extensive surveys on humanitarian need have been conducted in Iraq, but as onetime studies. Periodic surveys gather data regarding particular sectors, such as Health, Food Security, and Internally Displaced People, but do not cover the breadth of humanitarian sectors. The IKN Survey collects key indicators across the full spectrum of humanitarian needs. The first round of the survey a pilot is coming to its successful conclusion in October. Additional rounds of the survey will be carried out that will, unlike the pilot survey, gather data at the district level. During the CAP workshop in September 2008, it clearly appeared that information at this level is important for planning of humanitarian action. Data will be quickly analysed by experts within the IAU, NGOs and government officials.

The project also addresses the need for greater collaboration, coordination and common practice among local, regional, national and international stakeholders. Data collected with a rigorous methodology enhances clarity and consensus on needs based on facts. Collaboration in survey design, data collection and data analysis increases the buyin by participating stake holders. Specific workshops, training sessions and ongoing activities enhance communication, collaboration and coordination among participating humanitarian actors.

Activities

Design two national surveys on humanitarian need representative at the district, governorate and national levels. (aprox. 15,000 households per survey).

Collect, analyse, report and share uptodate, reliable and standardised socioeconomic, education, infrastructure, health and other humanitarian and development data with all stakeholders.

Periodic workshops, biannual training sessions and ongoing collaboration and coordination activities among researchers from over a dozen UN and Iraqi Government agencies; and international and local NGOs, to design, collect and analyse household data on humanitarian need.

Needs

Despite the difficult operating environment a number of national and international NGOs, donors and multilateral institutions have continued to operate in Iraq over the last few years. With the general feeling of improved security an increasing number of humanitarian players are considering resuming and / or expanding operations in Iraq. The demand for coordination services to an increasing number of humanitarian organisations is continually the increase. The need for well defined and structured coordination has increased tremendously not only to support ongoing localised relief and response operations but also to coordinate IDP movements whether return or secondary population movement .

Objective and accurate analysis of the humanitarian situation inside Iraq remains severely constrained by the security situation affecting all actors (Government ministries, NGOs, the UN and research bodies) requiring necessary and uptodate data. That said, during 2007 and 2008 improvements have been made in the structured cataloguing of a plethora of humanitarian data and information in the public domain about Iraq, pulling together articles, surveys and limited baseline date from such partners as: UNAMI, WFP, UNHCR, WHO, IOM, UNDP, FAO, UNICEF, certain components of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, NGOs various research bodies, as well as internally within OCHA.

The UN Country Team (UNCT) and its vital partner organisations recognises the essential need for coordinating its work to secure a stable Iraq. To that end, securing success for the outcomes and outputs envisaged in sector work and advocacy assistance strategies requires close coordination with the GoI, between UNCT agencies and with other humanitarian actors providing assistance to the people of Iraq.

Activities

Page 27 of 355

The most prominent operational development for OCHA Iraq in the last quarter of 2008 and continuing into 2009 is the gradual reentry into Iraq and to gradually build substantial operational capacity to coordinate humanitarian efforts inside Iraq and in particular to develop and manage an Iraq field coordination structure. OCHA has started fielding international and national staff in Baghdad, Erbil (in situ since July 2008), with Basra to follow by January 09 in addition to having dedicated national staff for coordination and information management in each governorate in 2009. OCHA Iraq will maintain a small but necessary coordination / support office in Amman, Jordan. Building on its work during 2008 in Amman and increasingly in Iraq during the second half of the year, OCHA will focus on:

1. Support and undertake initiatives towards building a civilian disaster management capacity within the

Government of Iraq at the central and local levels to better direct, implement and lead a gender equitable humanitarian response;

2. Contribute towards efforts to ensure a more targeted humanitarian and gender sensitive response by enhancing OCHA capacity and presence inside Iraq. Specifically to: a) strengthen field level coordination; b) reinforce mechanisms for information collection/dissemination and needs analysis/identification; and c) expand humanitarian space for range of actors, including Iraqi NGOs/civil society.

3. Strengthen advocacy for humanitarian principles, donor engagement, protection of civilians, and transfer of delivery of humanitarian assistance responsibility from military to civilian actors

Needs

As access for humanitarian actors has increased, a wealth of data is becoming available. Whilst initial results are analysed and inform programming there is scope for greater indepth analysis both by individual agencies and as collaborative projects.

A secure webbased data repository and contents management system would also increase the efficiency of collaborative work by the multiagency analysts in the IAU.

Of the existing data stored by the IAU and other organisations, only summary data and reports are accessible to users from other organisations. There is a need to develop robust data storage systems that are securely available via the Internet to the humanitarian community for reference and independent analysis.

To provide automated mapping and analysis to individual users in the humanitarian community who do not have the capacity for analysis inhouse.

Activities

1. Design a webenabled data storage and retrieval mechanism for key datasets.

2. Design a webenabled content management system for use by the IAU members for collaborative analysis.

3. Develop a webenabled automated mapping and standard analysis system for the wider humanitarian community.

4. Undertake bespoke analysis on specific aspects of the humanitarian situation.

5. Four Information Analysis workshops to be held in Amman and Iraq to present and train humanitarian responders in the use of the Information Analysis systems.

Needs

Efforts by the United Nations to improve humanitarian coordination in Baghdad in the third quarter of 2008 have suffered from challenges presented by meeting at the UN's Diwan complex in the International Zone. Problems of adequate meeting space and associated avaialbility together with security procedures for nonUN partners to smoothly and easily access the UN offices have negatively affected the abilty of the UN to facilitate effective and efficient humanitarian coordination in which a true sense and spirit of partnership can be nurtured.

In addition, there is also a great need for humanitarian partners to engage in more fieldbased activities such as joint assessments as well as operational preparedness and response engagement at community level through field exposure; furthermore in this regard current UN security staff numbers are insufficient to be regularly assigned to such activities.

Activities

This project seeks to provide a dedicated meeting space for all humanitarian coordination activities in Bgahdad outside of the UN's compound in the International Zone. The proposed meeting space is located nearby in what is known as the "Amber Zone", a zone which Iraqi humanitarian partners can access with greater ease than the UN's compound and where the meeting space will be a dedicated humanitarian resource, not shared by multiple UN departments / units.

In addition to the provision of a dedicated meeting space, this project includes the provision of dedicated safety and security personnel necessary for all opeartional movement inside Iraq as well as two dedicated securitycompliant vehicles.

Typical activities will be:

Facilitation of regular humanitarian coordination meetings and associated training / similar seminars / workshops at a dedicated venue in the Amber Zone in Baghdad in which national NGO / other partner participation is crucial.

Coordinated field visits as necessary

Needs

Childrens education has been seriously undermined by Iraqs ongoing conflict, despite extraordinary efforts by teachers and families to keep schools functioning. UNICEF estimates 800,000 children were out of school in 2006 alone, 63% of them girls, and that percentage is considered to have increased in the last two years. Access to regular schooling has been limited by displacement, insecurity, school overcrowding, poor conditions of schools (with inadequate sanitation facilities), school closures and turnover of teaching staff: This is undermining childrens ability to actively engage in both academic and social structures that traditionally provide skills to effectively engage in a society as adults. The proposed project aims to create alternative educational opportunities for children that have dropped out of school; to foster increased retention and access to formal education through accelerated learning programmes and improving educational and hygiene conditions in schools; and to improve communitybased psych
