IOM Iraq Chief of Missionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s foreword

This collection of profiles aims to contribute to the body of knowledge available to humanitarian partners, government representatives and academics, to better understand the situation of these communities. The governorate profiles present data gathered from informed academic and non-academic sources for an overview, including demographics, displacement trends, security, socio-economic conditions and public services. The community profiles provide a more specific information, after careful data gathering by IOM staff, and a closer look at conditions, including population breakdown, resources, vulnerabilities, key economic sectors, infrastructure (electricity, water and sanitation, waste collection, schools, health care) and economic activity.

The people of Iraq have much to be proud of in their country, governorates and communities; they all have a rich and vibrant history and culture. Regions of Iraq have a diverse geography, from mountains to plains to coastline, and a mosaic of population groups. Many communities are also undergoing a very difficult period of conflict, limited resources, and the pressure of population movements. Across the country, over 2.2 million displaced Iraqis are living in private dwellings in host communities, over 700,000 with host families, and nearly 1.5 million in rented accommodation, and they all must support their families in a new place. This places additional pressure on public services, including health, education and infrastructure. These conditions cause hardship for both communities and individuals, who must cope with uncertain economic and social conditions while striving to improve the situation and provide for their families. This community profiles booklet presents a careful look at 15 governorates and the specific case of 51 communities.

The data for the community profiles is gathered through conversations with community focal points and key informants (muktars and local government representatives, among others) to best identify the services needed. IOM uses this same knowledge to inform the direction of community assistance projects in cooperation with community members, as the Iraqi people are the most expert themselves on their own development needs. IOM Iraq community stabilization projects provide livelihoods assistance, psychosocial support and community assistance projects. These efforts, designed to have longterm impact, equip the community structure to enhance support for community members. Individual assistance prepares bread-winners to build their skills and businesses, to both support their families and communities. The situation in Iraq needs careful attention and cooperation to meet the most urgent needs. Enhanced understanding can better direct efforts to address the situation, in cooperation with community members. IOM is pleased to continue to work with communities, through this very difficult period in Iraq, to identify and address their most urgent needs.

IOM - Iraq

INTRODUCTION Since the beginning of 2014, Iraq has been experiencing one of its most violent periods, generating over 3.3 million Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) as a result of widespread conflict across country. Since 2006, through its Community Revitalization Programme and predecessor project, IOM has been supporting Iraqi individuals and their communities in their efforts to recover their livelihoods, improve access to essential services and repair the social wounds caused by the ongoing conflict. Continued efforts are required to address the deteriorating socio-economic conditions of displaced individuals, returnees and host communities, and to stabilize those communities that are hosting large numbers of IDPs as well as the communities of origin. In light of this situation, CRP intends to go beyond covering the populationsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; immediate needs, by implementing a comprehensive community transition and recovery approach. This approach aims at fostering social cohesion by improving socio-economic conditions, and at mitigating the potential tensions among the most vulnerable individuals including displaced Iraqis, host community members, and Iraqis returning to their areas of origin after displacement by supporting livelihoods and community-led rehabilitation of services and essential infrastructure and by promoting good governance and community engagement. IOM addresses the needs of vulnerable communities in Iraq by engaging community members in the design of CRP interventions and through a feedback loop. This is achieved by establishing community structures that are composed of motivated individuals willing to work to enhance the welfare of their fellow citizens as well as including the views of women and youth through the appointment of dedicated representatives. Under the fifth phase of the Programme, IOM targeted fifteen governorates across Iraq, including Anbar, Babylon,

Baghdad, Basra, Dahuk, Diyala, Erbil, Kerbala, Kirkuk, Missan, Najaf, Ninewa, Salah al-Din, Sulaymaniyah and Thi-Qar. IOM exceeded targets, reaching 3,000 households across the country (approximately 18,000 individuals), with livelihood assistance. Furthermore, 54 Community Assistance Projects (CAPs) improved the living conditions of more than 90,000 Iraqis through the rehabilitation or construction of light infrastructure. Moreover, IOM engaged several local non-governmental partners to implement social cohesion activities across six governorates. These activities reached approximately 1,290 community members. To ensure that all interventions were appropriately targeted, IOM conducted a detailed multi-sectoral profiling of all concerned communities, presented in this book. The information was gathered through key informants from local government authorities and community leaders, as well as by using direct observations and focus group discussions with community members. The information gathered covers the sectors of health care, education, public infrastructure, social welfare, the economy and employment. In addition, the community profiles presented in this book include an overview of completed interventions under CRP V in each community in the sectors of livelihoods assistance, small infrastructure projects and social cohesion. The book is divided into chapters for each governorate, allowing a governorate-level analysis of economic, social and political developments, as well as migration trends. It also presents the full range of IOM interventions in response to identified needs in Iraqâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most vulnerable communities. The book also constitutes a valuable source of information for organizations that wish to support the humanitarian response and recovery efforts in Iraq. Improving Resilience - Enhancing Stability: By strengthening the socio-economic fabric in Iraq, IOM hopes to help Iraqis find a way out of the protracted crisis, aiding in their recovery at an individual, household and community level.

CRP in IOM’s Transition and Recovery context

The IOM Community Transition and Recovery Programme encompasses a wide array of activities aimed at stabilizing communities in a post-conflict environment to facilitate their recovery and transition to peace. IOM’s strategy includes the Rapid Recovery Programme (RRP), aimed at providing immediate support to basic and often life-saving infrastructure and emergency livelihoods, in order to lay the groundwork for further recovery programming in conflict-affected areas. The Community Revitalization Programme focuses on assisting communities during the recovery phase, specifically in the areas of income generation, reconstruction of infrastructure, capacity building and the promotion of social cohesion. The overarching goal of IOM’s transition and recovery programming is to improve the resilience and enhance the stability of the communities where we work. iom’s transition and recovery

Anbar GOVERNORATE PROFILE Overview1 Covering almost all of western Iraq, Anbar is the country’s largest governorate. The landscape is dominated by desert, particularly to the west. The governorate is divided in eight districts1 and borders Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia. Anbar is an essential part of the “Sunni Triangle”, an area northwest of Baghdad mainly inhabited by Sunni Muslims. The socio-political fabric of Anbar has traditionally revolved around tribes and local hierarchies. Tribal leaders and Sunni clerics still retain a high level of authority in local affairs2.

Anbar witnessed heavy clashes between the Multinational Forces in Iraq (MNF-I) and Armed Groups (AGs) between 2003 and 2005, during which many civilian lives were lost. MNF-I forces gained control of Anbar during the 2004 “Phantom Fury” Operation; in September 2008, security control was handed over to the Iraqi Government. The governorate has witnessed significant migration flows due to conflict since June 2014.

Demographics3 ANBAR As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 138,228 KM2

The governorate’s population is approximately 1,485,985 individuals (5% of Iraq’s total population) and covers 138,228 square kilometers (32% of Iraq). The capital is Ramadi, and 48% of the governorate is rural while 52% is urban. There is no tangible distinction in gender distribution: males and females each represent 50% of the population. Ramadi is Anbar governorate’s most populous district, with 37% of the population, followed by Falluja (36%); other districts are more sparsely populated.

According to the information collected through the Location Assessment carried by IOM’s field teams, most IDPs in Anbar reported their main reason for displacement to be generalized violence and armed conflict in their areas of origin. Most intend to return to their areas of origin, and a smaller number reported they wanted to integrate in their current locations. Around 68% of IDPs said they lacked information on the lost civil status documents services, and around 15% said they lacked information on food distribution7.

PERIOD OF DISPLACEMENT OF IDP FAMILIES

The initial causes of displacement from and within Anbar were the hostilities of December 2013. Two other major waves of displacement took place in 2015: in April, with the renewed efforts of AGs to control Ramadi and subsequent clashes between them and the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), and in May, with the increasing violence and the subsequent takeover of Ramadi City by the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) militants. The ISF said they reclaimed Ramadi in January 2016, and while many families across Anbar have reportedly returned to their dwellings, the overall total number of displaced persons continues to rise.

sEcuRITy Since late December 2013, tens of thousands of families have fled their homes in Anbar due to the conflict between the ISF and AGs. The governorate has remained unstable since. In May 2015, AGs seized control of the governorate’s capital, Ramadi, but in October of that same year, the ISF renewed their efforts to retake the city, with the support of the MNF-I; fierce battles ensued, particularly in Haditha district. In November 2015, approximately 80% of Anbar was still under the AGs control and military operations were raging in Ramadi city10. The security situation improved at the beginning of January 2016 and the Iraqi Government announced the liberation of Ramadi. However, the security situation remained unstable and displacement movements increased in February, mostly in the direction of Amriayt al-Falluja, because of the ongoing conflict between AGs and ISF. By July 2016 the ISF had regained control of the Trebil border with Jordan, which could contribute to economic recovery in Anbar. However, as of August 2016, military preparations are reportedly underway to liberate ISIL-controlled districts such as Ana, Ra’ua and al-Ka’im. Almost all IDPs reported not feeling safe in the governorate11.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss12 In principle, returnees are allowed to enter the governorate, but access to liberated areas is restricted. In order for IDP families to return to their residences of origin, they first need a security clearance from local government authorities, including the Iraqi army and local police. The security bodies are vetting some returnees, especially men, in an attempt to prevent the return of persons who might have links with AGs. Access to Anbar has been difficult since the onset of the military confrontations. Since June 2016, there has been no movement within or access to the AG-controlled areas. In areas under government control, strict security procedures are enforced, with many checkpoints and identity checks to prevent AGs from entering the governorate. Returnees, however, can generally access Anbar and their properties.

Food security, shelter, services and needs Food prices have increased due to the ongoing conflicts and scarcity of food items. According to a World Food Program (WFP) report, Falluja suffered severe shortages of food items including wheat, sugar, rice, vegetable oil and lentils. For instance, food commodities are not easily available in Falluja district and prices are extremely high; the percentage change between December 2015 and January 2016 increased from 525% to 823%13. The ongoing military operations in Anbar since the beginning of 2016, the limited availability of security forces to ensure safe transportation of food commodities and increased fuel prices are

The Anbar location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 289 locations where 91,428 families live were assessed. The main findings are15: Forty-nine per cent (49%) of IDP families reported non-food items (NFI) as their most urgent need, food is the second most urgent need (20%), while access to income is reported to be the third most urgent need (17%).16 Most IDPs reported that the main issue with NFI is high prices, and that the lack of job opportunities is the main challenge with access to income. In terms of services, approximately 50% of all IDPs stated that healthcare services are insufficient, 88% reported they had no issues with sanitation and hygiene, and 81% indicated they had no problems with education. It is worth noting, however, that due to the ongoing conflict within Anbar, services differ from one location to another.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The governorateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy is based on agriculture, construction and light manufacturing companies. Potatoes are the main crop, but wheat, barley and maize are also grown. These crops were usually grown in places that were either controlled or occasionally attacked by AGs, so currently no significant agricultural activity is possible in the governorate. Another reason for the halt in agricultural activities in Anbar is that farmers and their families have abandoned their lands, some of them to join the local tribal forces that resist the AGs. Moreover, in the past decade the rural population suffered the consequences of consecutive years of drought. Water shortages have affected humans and livestock and have devastated croplands. Anbar is rich in minerals and oil and is known for the production of phosphates and fertilizers, but oil is not produced due to the unstable security situation17. The economy has also suffered from the conflict; many trade routes are closed, and the constant violence has curbed commercial activities. IDPs are permitted to work and some work for daily wages to cover for their familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; needs. Generally, IDPs and host community members receive equal salaries.

Community Overview Amiriyat al-Fallujah generally is considered an attractive location for displaced families from other areas of Anbar province because of its stable security situation. Al-Ekhaa compound is a semi-urban residential complex with poor infrastructure and difficult living conditions. Most residents in the community have secondary or university education and mostly work in industrial facilities. AlEkhaa compound is considered attractive for several reasons: it is considered a safe shelter, the local government and NGOs provide as many basic services as possible and it is located between Anbar, Baghdad and Babylon.

Babylon GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview1 Babylon governorate is located in central Iraq and shares domestic boundaries with the governorates of Baghdad, Anbar, Kerbala, Najaf, Qadissiya and Wassit1. Babylon is divided into four districts: Al-Mahawil, Al-Musayab, Hashimiya and Hilla. Shia’ Arabs are predominant, although the governorate also hosts a Sunni minority2.

During the recent outbreak of violence, Babylon was affected by the military operations due to its proximity to the conflict-affected areas in Anbar and Baghdad. Between June and July 2014 northern parts of the governorate were seized by Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) and later liberated in October that same year.3

Demographics4 BABYLON As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 5,119 KM2

Babylon covers an area of 5,119 square kilometers, representing 1.2% of Iraq. It has an estimated population of 1,728,132 individuals, almost 3.2% of the country’s population. There is no distinction in gender distribution: males and females each represent 50% of the population. Just over 47% of the governorate is urban and 53% is rural. Hilla is the most populous district with 41% of the governorate’s population, followed by Hashimiya (23%), al-Musayab (19%) and al-Mahawil (17%) districts.

As a result of the scaling up of military activities in both Anbar and Ninewa, many families were displaced from these governorates and from within Babylon as well. In October and November 2014, Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), backed by Popular Mobilization Forces, known as “Al-Hashd AlSha’abi”, liberated the seized areas. IDP registration was ongoing until May 2016, but since then the registration process of the Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD) – Babylon branch has stopped, reportedly due to the lack of financial allocations for IDPs and the governorate’s inability to host them.

sEcuRITy Historically, the northern parts of Babylon adjacent to Baghdad have been periodically affected by the instability observed in the capital, with security breaches occurring even before the current crisis. Over the last year, Iskenderiya sub-district suffered sporadic attacks. In March 2016, AGs claimed responsibility for a suicide bomb attack carried out during a football match, which resulted in 30 casualties and 90 injuries. The attack targeted local officials and military leaders who were attending the game. The other districts of Babylon enjoy a rather stable security situation. Reportedly, 98.5% of IDPs in the governorate feel safe.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss9 IDPs are permitted to move freely in Babylon, and IDPs living in other regions are allowed to access to the governorate to visit their relatives. However, a Babylon Provincial Council decision in May 2015 banned new IDPs from accessing the governorate except for a few cases. It has been reported that Jurf al-Sakhar sub-district in the Al-Mussayab district remain inaccessible despite its liberation in October and November 2014. Authorities have been preventing IDPs from returning to this area due to remaining pockets of conflict, damaged infrastructure and booby-trapped houses. Some liberated areas in Al-Iskandriya sub-district in Al-Mussayab district are still inaccessible for the same reasons, and many IDPs have been unable to access their properties as of September 2016.

Food security, shelter, services and needs10 The Babylon location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 333 locations were assessed. The location assessment’s findings are as follows: A total of 60% of IDPs reported shelter and housing as their first priority need; non-food items (NFI) ranked second (20%), while access to income came third (13%).

IOM - Iraq

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The ongoing crisis has severely affected the country’s economy and the financial capacity of the central government. Public construction projects stopped and the once thriving industrial center of Babylon has been in economic decline for the last two years. Currently, Babylon’s economy depends on agricultural production. However, many farmlands are not being cultivated due to a poor developed irrigation system and lack of government subsidies. The main produce are maize, rice, dates and vegetables. Crops are sold in the local market and commercialized in neighboring governorates, including Karbala, Najaf and Baghdad. Livestock is also an important sector of local economy. In addition, fishponds are popular in the northern areas. Due to its geographical location, Babylon is dependent on the Euphrates River for water, and the decreasing water level over the past few years has caused a drought that has affected the livelihoods of many farmers. The river links regional interests of Iraq, Syria and Turkey. In fact, it has been anticipated that the Turkish GAP plan, which aims to exploit Turkey’s rivers for irrigation and power generation in southeastern Anatolia, could reduce the Euphrates’ flows to Iraq by 80%. This would result in increasing concerns for food security and economic stability, given that Iraq relies on the Tigris and Euphrates rivers for over 90% of its freshwater.12 Additionally, increased competition for natural resources would also diminish social cohesion. Babylon is also rich in untapped reservoirs of gas and oil.13 According to IOM informants, local authorities have started exploring the oil reserves in Hilla district, but no hydrocarbon has been discovered to date. It is reported 38% of IDPs in Babylon governorate rely on skilled labor as their primary source of livelihood, 25% are civil servants, while 18% depend on public pensions and 15% rely on service labor. Others depend on various sources including farming activities, trade, small businesses and low-skill services.14

The main obstacle to access to income is the scarcity of jobs in the governorate; most IDPs have also reported that NFI and shelter or housing are too expensive. As for public services, the majority of IDPs in Babylon governorate reported they have sufficient access to sanitation and hygiene, health and education services. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps, in October 2015, 7% of households in Babylon reported being unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement, while all households had access as of June 201611.

The community is an urban area with many informal settlements. The factors that have impacted displacement over the years include the change in political regimes during Saddam’s rule, the Iraq-Iran war, the invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War. All these changed the community’s composition and diversity. Main issues affecting this community are the lack of a sewage system, the saltiness of its water —not suitable for drinking— health problems related to the unsuccessful children vaccination program, TB and environmental hazards due to its proximity to oil extraction sites.

Community Overview The community is an urban area with many informal settlements and a high number of IDPs and vulnerable groups. The reason it continues to attract IDPs is the low accommodation rental prices. However, the constant and ongoing arrival of IDPs may cause tensions between IDPs and the host community (HC) members. The area lacks public services such as electricity, paved roads, trash collection and sewage systems.

Baghdad GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Baghdad governorate, located in the Tigris alluvial plain in the center of the country, is the most populous governorate in Iraq. The city of Baghdad is the capital of the country. The governorate hosts the second largest IDP concentration in Iraq, with 15% of the total IDP population1. Many families were forced to leave their homes in Baghdad due to the sectarian conflict. Many families resettled along sectarian lines, creating separated Sunni and Shi’a neighborhoods. The

city remained divided along these lines, particularly after a wall was built around the predominantly Sunni neighborhood of alAdhamia in Baghdad to isolate it from the Shi’a neighborhoods, reinforcing the sectarian rift in the governorate2. However, there are some neighborhoods where Shi’a and Sunni families peacefully coexist.

Baghdad governorate covers an area of approximately 4,555 square kilometers, representing 1.5% of Iraq. The governorate has a population of about 7,145,470 individuals, that is, 24% of the total Iraqi population. The gender distribution is even, and the governorate is 87% urban and 13% rural. Al-Karkh is the most populous district in the governorate, hosting 22% of Baghdad’s total population, while the second most populous district is al-Sadr city, with 18% of the governorate’s total population; the other districts are less populated4.

DISPLACEMENT TRENDS

As of 15 September, 2016

As of 15 September 2016, a total of 78,154 displaced families (468,924 individuals5) were identified in Baghdad. Of these families, 54,294 displaced from Anbar6. Since the beginning of the ongoing crisis in Iraq in late 2013, significant displacement movements have been observed in Baghdad.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment7 carried out by IOM’s field teams, the majority of IDPs in Baghdad state that they were displaced due to armed conflicts, while a smaller number reported being displaced because of losing a family member in the violence affecting their areas of origin. Most IDPs intend to return to their areas of origin, while fewer stated they would locally integrate in their current locations. Around 40% of IDPs in Baghdad reported they lacked information on food distribution, while 12% said they lacked access to information on lost civil status documents, legal and protection services.

Total 78,154

The Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD) registers IDPs in the governorate. These IDPs are given special IDs with serial numbers that allow them to be included in the MoMD assistance programmes.

Moreover, public demonstrations demanding governmental reforms and the fight against corruption led to road blockages on both sides of Baghdad. This had a negative impact on the daily lives of Baghdad’s residents and limited the access of IOM teams to affected areas. In May 2016, the demonstrators broke into the Green Zone (GZ) and entered the Parliament’s building. The incidents led to damage in some parts of the building and equipment and several people were killed. Despite this, it is reported that 97.9% of IDPs feel safe in the governorate.12

mOVEmENT AND AccEss13

Baghdad is considered one of the governorates with highest insecurity rates in Iraq, accounting for a large proportion of all security incidents in the country. During the first half of 2013, the security situation worsened and the number of car bombings and explosions increased dramatically10. During the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) takeover of Mosul, security measures were reinforced and the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and Iraqi Army spread across the governorate to maintain security.

Due to security measures in Baghdad, IDP movements and access has become complicated. To enter or transit through Baghdad, IDPs have to follow administrative and security procedures. IDPs who want to stay in Baghdad have to secure a guarantor and not be on the ISF’s wanted list. For those transiting through the governorate, security forces in both provinces work together to complete the security procedures and transport IDPs in buses. All IDPs in Baghdad governorate are allowed to move freely and move houses, as long as they stay in the same district. In April 2016, IDPs were required specific approvals or a sponsor from their intended destination14, but since July they have freedom of movement in all areas in the governorate and do not need an approval or a sponsor. According to the Baghdad location assessment, carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016, 8% of Baghdad’s locations were inaccessible15, but reportedly most areas were accessible as of July the same year16.

Food security, shelter, services and needs17 According to the Baghdad location assessment 556 out of 604 locations have been assessed; these locations are inhabited by 86,702 families (92% of IDPs in the governorate). The remaining locations were not assessed due to security reasons. The assessment found that approximately 50% of IDPs reported access to income as their first priority need; 18 In the same assessment, the lack of employment opportunities was found to be the main obstacle to access to income, while high prices are the main issue with non-food items/NFI. As for services, approximately 50% of IDPs in Baghdad reported that health services in Baghdad are expensive. More than 50% stated they had sufficient access to sanitation and hygiene services, while 15% thought services were low quality. As for education services, 39% had sufficient access, while 29% said that educational materials are too expensive. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps, as of June 2016, 37% of households in Baghdad report they have not been able to access Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement19.

IOM - Iraq

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The governorate of Baghdad is the main economic and commercial hub of Iraq and the center of the banking and financial sector; it is also a vital location for the oil and gas industry. The largest proven crude oil reserve is located to the east of the governorate. The governorate is also important for other industries including leather, cement and tobacco production. Baghdad is home to the most important airport in Iraq, Baghdad International Airport, and the city is well connected to other parts of country by road and rail. The capital hosts four universities and numerous primary and Secondary Schools, as well as technical institutions for research and education20. The Government of Iraq’s plan for economic development in Baghdad foresees supporting vocational training centers through the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA), which also grants small loans to unemployed Iraqis so they can start their own businesses. The government has resumed granting mortgages, which will contribute to support the private sector. Most IDPs in the governorate are permitted to work in the private sector. Some of them have been unable to find jobs, either due to lack of skills or because they live in rural areas where job opportunities are limited. The most common jobs for IDPs in the governorate are in construction, carpentry, blacksmithing and trade21. It is reported that 24% of IDPs in Baghdad work in the agricultural sector as their primary source of livelihood, 17% perform skilled labor, while 29% reportedly do not have a primary livelihood source22. Others depend on various sources including governmental jobs, trade/vocation, small businesses, and low skill service sector.

Community Overview Al-Shaikh Omer 131 is one of the oldest and most historical areas of Baghdad city, dating back to the Ottoman era. The government has not completed the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure. At the beginning of 2010, efforts were made to revitalize the infrastructure systems but they were largely unsuccessful because of the old architectural design of the area and lack of space. This community is economically active because of its location between Al-Shaikh Omer, an industrial street, and Al-Kefah, a commercial street. These two streets lead to a big market in Al-Fadhel district. Most of the community members are unemployed and have varying education levels. Al-Shaikh Omer 131 was a destination for IDPs, especially from Anbar governorate, who came after April 2015 because of its good economic situation. The area suffered from armed conflict between 2006 and 2007 and many families were displaced during that period.

Community Overview Mahalla 799/Bawih is an urban area the southeast of Baghdad, about 15 kilometers from the city center. It was named Al Bawiyah after Al Bawi tribe, who inhabited the area before it was established. Mahalla 799/Bawih was developed with the immigration of tribes from the south (Thi-Qar, Missan and Wassit) and some other tribes from Diyala. The name of this community was changed at the end of the 1990s to Al Zahra neighborhood or Al Zahra city, but most people still call it Al Ma’amil (“factories” in Arabic) because of the presence of brick factories. This community lacks basic services and has a weak infrastructure. Most community members have Primary School education and are working in local handicraft. The Mahalla 799/Bawih market has a variety of businesses.

Basra GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Located southeast of Iraq and sharing borders with Iran, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia, the governorate of Basra is the socio-economic hub of south Iraq. This geographically diverse governorate has marshlands in the north and a desert and plains in the south; it is intersected by the Shatt al-Arab waterway, formed by the confluence of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers in al-Qurnah district. Basra has a hot and arid climate. Humidity and rainfall, however, are relatively high because of the governorate’s proximity to the Persian Gulf1.

In 2003, the governorate was the entry point to Iraq for the USled intervention. After that, Basra became the stronghold of militias against the Multi-National Force (MNF) and the new Iraqi government. Basra slipped out of the Iraqi Governments’ control between 2004 and 2008. In early 2008, Iraqi Security Forces, backed by Coalition troops, regained control over the governorate. Since then, the security situation has generally remained stable. Calls for regional autonomy are often heard but have never achieved momentum. Basra has been spared the attacks of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)2.

Demographics3 BASRA As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 19,070 KM2

The population is 1,912,533, that is, almost 4.4% of Iraq’s total population. The area is approximately 19,070 square kilometers, or almost 4.4% of Iraq. The gender distribution is quite even with an equal ratio of men to women. It is estimated that 78.2% of the governorate is urban while 21.8% is rural. Basra district is the most populous, with 49.8% of the governorate’s total population, followed by al-Zubair district, with 16.8%. Other districts are less populated4.

After the capture of Mosul in June 2014 and launch of the military operations by the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) in Salah al-Din and Anbar, major displacement from these governorates took place. Basra has received IDPs mainly from Anbar, Salah al-Din and Ninewa. The majority (38%) of IDPs in Basra are from Ninewa. IDPs arrived mostly during the third quarter of 2014, when ISIL invaded Ninewa. As well, due to ongoing conflicts in Anbar since the beginning of 2016, many families have displaced to Basra; 25% of IDPs in Basra governorate are from Anbar7.

5. Number of individuals is estimated by multiplying the number of families by 6, the average size of an Iraqi family. 6. All information in this report, unless otherwise specified, is from IOM’s Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) of 15 September 2016, Round 54, in addition to field reports of the Rapid Assessment and Response Teams and key informant interviews.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment carried by IOM’s field teams, the main reason (99%) for displacement to Basra is reported to be generalized violence and armed conflicts in IDPs’ areas of origin due to ISIL’s occupation and the Iraqi forces’ military operations. More than 40% of IDPs expressed their intention to locally integrate in their current locations in Basra. The majority of IDPs in the governorate are aware of humanitarian assistance, but 28% indicated that they lacked information on food distribution9. The main factors that attract IDPs to Basra are either the presence of relatives or to live among people of similar background. Some families have left Basra either to go back to their areas of origin or move to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI), mostly to search for employment, escape the summer’s hot weather or look for lower rent prices10.

The security situation in Basra is considered to be generally stable and is controlled by the Iraqi Security Forces. The governorate has suffered from Vehicle-Borne Improvised Explosive Devices (VBIED) several times this year, but no security incidents have affected large numbers of people; some kidnapping for ransom and theft incidents occasionally occur. As well, some individual incidents or tribal conflicts have taken place in the northern part of the governorate, requiring the intervention of the security forces. It is worth noting that no armed groups patrol the governorate.11 The Police, Iraqi Army, National Security and Intelligence Services maintain security in Basra and no particular group, whether IDPs, returnees or others, are under threat. All IDPs surveyed report feeling safe in the governorate12.

Despite security measures in Basra, IDPs are permitted into the governorate and can move freely. IDPs who have an ID issued by the department face no movement restrictions. Those who do not have IDs and are registered with the police are allowed freedom of movement. However, those who do not have an ID of displacement or sponsor are unable to cross the Basra entrance checkpoints. All areas are generally accessible to IDPs and host community members.

Food security, shelter, services and needs14 The Basra location assessment was conducted between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 215 locations, where 1,710 families live, have been assessed. The findings of the location assessment are as follows: Sixty-six per cent (66%) of IDPs indicated shelter or housing as their first priority need, access to income is ranked as the second priority need (43%), while non-food items/NFI are considered the third priority need (54%).15 In the same assessment, the high price of shelter/housing and non-food items/NFI was the IDPs’ main problem, while access to income is curbed by scarce job availability. In terms of public services, 73% of IDPs stated they had access to health services, while a few reported the service as expensive. As well, 93% of IDPs did not indicate any issues with sanitation and hygiene, while a smaller percentage reported a lack of waste management. Approximately 80% of IDPs reported having access to education services, while the remaining expressed these are too expensive. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps of October 2015, 36% of households in Basra report they have not been able to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since displacement, while this percentage decreased to 3% as of June 201616.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Basra is located in the area of the Shatt al-Arab river; due to the presence of huge oil and gas reserves and an active hydrocarbon industry, the governorate has one of the strongest economies in Iraq. Both Basra and Um Qasr ports, Iraq’s only deep-water ports, are located in Basra, facilitating the city’s role as a trade, transportation and storage hub. As well, off the coast of Basra, al-Basra Oil Terminal is the main oil outlet in the country. The massive oilfields produce two-thirds of Iraq’s total oil production. In addition, a number of manufacturing, professional services, agro-business and construction companies operate in the governorate. The city of Basra has an international airport and has a university17. However, poor infrastructure and aging oil installations hamper Basra’s economic prosperity. The governorate was a battleground during the Iraq-Iran war and the two Gulf-Wars, which harmed the economic infrastructure and left behind landmines and unexploded devices; the agricultural sector in Basra is particularly hindered by the remaining explosives18. IDPs are allowed to work and reportedly some of them work for daily wages to cover their families’ needs. IDPs and host community members generally receive equal salaries. It is reported that 40% of IDPs in Basra rely on jobs in the agricultural sector as their primary source of livelihood, 30% on skilled labor, and 15% on skilled services jobs19. Others depend on different sources20.

This community is located south of Basra. It received a significant number of IDPs from Anbar, Mosul and Tikrit, as well as returnees, after 2003. It was especially attractive to IDPs because it has newer infrastructure compared to the surrounding areas, government shelter assistance for the displaced is provided, and jobs are available. Most of the IDPs from the post-2003 wave have reportedly integrated. A few families from Anbar and Mosul have also arrived in recent years due to the security situation in these areas.

The current official working hours are from 8:00 to 14:00, which is not enough to cover all needs; as well, staff numbers are insufficient. Only 6 doctors cover both Al Khaseeb and Al Faw medical centers. The Governments financial support dwindled from 90 to 27 million Iraqi Dinars, so residents buy medicines from private pharmacies.

Infrastructure details

This health center has medical equipment such as a sonar and ECG, and a governmental clinic provides primary health supplies. The health center does not meet the Hayy Al-Mohandesin community needs because it serves the entire Qebla region and the Ministry of Health is unable to meet the demand for medicines. Moreover, the center’s water pipes, sewage system and water tanks need to be replaced. The desalination unit is not working and needs replacement or maintenance. The Health Care Center should be repainted and it needs a parking area. It lacks printers and scanners and the caravans of immediate emergency cases need to be rehabilitated. UNICEF provides cholera treatment for children in the community.

Periods of displacement

Community Overview The community is an urban area with many informal settlements. The factors that have impacted displacement over the years include the change in political regimes during Saddam’s rule, the Iraq-Iran war, the invasion of Kuwait and the Gulf War. All these changed the community’s composition and diversity. Main issues affecting this community are the lack of sewage system, the saltiness of its water —not suitable for drinking— health problems related to the unsuccessful children vaccination program, TB and environmental hazards due to its proximity to oil extraction sites.

This health center does not meet the needs of the community because it covers more than one region in the Al-Zubair district. The vaccination campaigns need more staff to cover the whole community. The area’s environment is polluted because the area is close to oil extraction sites; 300 suffocation cases and six deaths have been recorded. Moreover, there are cases of tuberculosis, which have negatively impacted the psychological state of patients. The health center needs health awareness campaigns on children’s vaccination.

Dahuk GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Bordering Turkey, Dahuk is the northernmost governorate of Iraq and is surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. With Erbil and Sulaymaniyah, Dahuk is part of the area administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG).

Dahuk has been spared the attacks of the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), but because it is close to areas that came under attack, it received important movements of internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Kurds are the dominant ethnic group, but there are small minorities of Turkmen and Arabs. Most of Dahuk’s inhabitants are Sunnis, but the province also hosts a mainly Kurdish Yezidi minority and several Assyrian, Chaldean and Armenian Christian communities1.

Demographics2 DAHUK As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 6,553 KM2

Dahuk’s population is estimated to be 1,133,627 (almost 3.6% of Iraq); it has an area of 6,553 square kilometers, covering 1.6% of Iraq. Gender distribution is nearly even; 49.4% males and 50.6% females; 74.4% of the governorate is urban and 25.6% is rural. Dahuk is the most populous district (27%), followed by Zakho (20%) and Sumel (14%) districts.

The main factors that attract IDPs to Dahuk are its proximity to the IDPs’ areas of origin and the presence of relatives, whereas the main reason for leaving the governorate is job search5.

Total: 66,259 55,000

Dahuk has a stable security situation and is considered a safe place for IDPs. The governorate witnessed massive displacement waves from Ninewa, particularly in August 2014 when ISIL attacked Sinjar district in the Ninewa governorate.

The governorate allows entry to IDPs, but reportedly Arab IDPs need to go through security checks when they move to other Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) governorates, while Yazidis and Christians have freedom of movement inside and outside the governorate and do not need security checks.

NINEWA

According to information collected through the Location Assessment7 carried by IOMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field teams, most IDPs reported that the main reason of displacement to Dahuk was armed conflict (63%), and losing a family member in their areas of origin (26%), and a smaller number said it was direct threats for ethnic and religious reasons. The short-term intention of IDPs is to locally integrate to their current location and a few reported they wish to go abroad; however, IDPs say that in the long term they intend to return to their areas of origin. Some IDPs reported they are unable to access information on food distribution, lost civil status document services and on the security situation in their areas of origin.8 In addition to IDPs, Dahuk hosts 93,075 registered Syrian refugees; of these, 40,471 live in Domiz-1 camp, 7,662 in Domiz-2 camp, 7,594 in Gawilan camp, 1,240 in Akre settlement and 36,108 live in non-camp settings.9

Food security, shelter, services and needs The Dahuk location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 111 locations out of 117 were assessed, covering 62,794 families; the remaining six could not assessed due to lack of information or unavailability of key informants. The main findings include:12 About 41% of IDPs reported that access to income is their first urgent need, food ranked as the second most urgent need (30%), while the third most urgent need is reported to be shelter or housing (23%).13 Job scarcity was identified as the main challenge to access to income, high prices and insufficient services as the main problems with healthcare, and distance and high prices of education materials as the main problems with education services. In terms of services, 38% of all IDPs reported they face no problems with health services, while 27% said these are expensive and a few indicated that availability and distance are an issue. About 64% said they had no problems with sanitation and hygiene and 12% reported that the quality of sanitation and hygiene services was an issue. As for education services, 37% reported they had no issues and 19% said that education services are insufficient and expensive. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps of October 2015, 21% of households in Dahuk reported they had been unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since they displaced but this figure decreased to 5% by June 201614.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Because of its geographic location, Dahuk has a strategic value for international transportation as it connects Iraq to Turkey. Dahuk has high mountains but also extensive plains and abundant agricultural resources in the south. The governorate is vital for agriculture and industrial production due to the presence of watersheds, waterfalls and natural lakes. The tourism industry is growing, and the governorate hosts a few oilfields and is rich in sulfur, phosphorus, and marble. Dahuk also connects the Kirkuk-Turkey oil pipelines15. IDPs are permitted to work in the governorate and most work in private businesses. Generally, IDPs and governorate residents receive equal salaries. Reportedly, there have been delays in the payment of government salaries because of the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s financial crisis.16 Reportedly, 41% of IDPs rely on agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 22% are civil servants, 7% rely on skilled labor and 16% do not have a primary source of livelihood.17

The community is an urban area located between the center of Sarsink to the northeast and Qadash complex to the southwest, and between the Karah Mountains to the south and the Mateen Mountain to the north. The Kurdistan Regional Government built this community for Kurdish returnees from Turkey and Iran after the Kurdistan uprising in 1991. This area was then renamed “Azady” (freedom in English). The Peshmerga, the Kurdistan Workers’ Party and Turkish forces are active in the area. A number of residential lands have been allocated to public sector employees by the provincial government with the support of the KRG, resulting in rapid economic growth. This area’s population belongs to several Kurdish tribes from northern Dahuk. The price of rent is between 200 to 400 USD per month. The most important causes of migration to this area include conflict in the villages on the border with Turkey since the beginning of the 1990s, government allocation of residential land and economic opportunities.

Areas of origin

Marina Governorate Boundaries District Boundaries Main Roads

The community is located in a rural area on the road between Dahuk and Zakho. The area was attacked four times during the former regime and people living there were forcibly displaced. The community was affected by the Government’s “Arabization” policies, as people from the Al-Juboori tribe were resettled to this area and an Arab residential complex established. After Kurds who were displaced in Turkey in 1991 came back, Arabs left Marina. The majority of people in this community came from other areas of Dahuk province in the 1990s because housing was inexpensive or free. The area expanded again at the beginning of 2005 when the number of families increased from 80 to 400. The most important causes of migration to Marina are the clashes along Turkey’s border in the 1990s, the presence of old abandoned houses, and most recently, the fall of Mosul.

The community is an urban area in Al-Shikhan district. During the 1970s and 1980s, the former Baath regime forcibly moved 400 families to the Palace Complex. After the uprising of 1991, most of these families returned to their original villages. Qasrok became part of Al-Shikhan district according to a decision issued by the Kurdistan Regional Government on 16 March 1996. The first municipality was established on 28 April 1998. The residents of Qasrok center belong to several Kurdish tribes, including Sharafani, Mazori and Kojar. Another name for Qasrok is Al-Sharafani. The most important causes of migration are the forced deportation of neighboring villagers by the former Iraqi regime, inexpensive housing, the availability of employment opportunities and the fall of Mosul.

Sarsink Governorate Boundaries District Boundaries Main Roads

This community is in an urban area located on the main road connecting Al-Ammadiyah district center to Dahuk’s center. The area is well known for its resorts. It is 41 km away from Dahuk, and 1,046 meters above sea level at the foot of the Karah mountains. The population is composed of IDPs from neighboring villages and Assyrians, Chaldeans and Assyrians. It is home to a famous landmark, the Royal Palace of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, built in 1954. The former Iraqi government controlled the area because of its importance and constructed military headquarters to hinder the Peshmerga forces’ movement between the Karah and Matin mountains. Because of the former regime’s policies, many people fled to other areas of Iraq during the 1980s. Causes of migration to this area include the forced deportation of Kurdish families from the border villages in 1978, conflict in the villages on the border with Turkey since the early 1990s, and the distribution of residential lands by the government in the Azadi complex.

Overview1 Located in central eastern Iraq, Diyala borders Iran and shares domestic boundaries with Baghdad, Salah al-Din, Sulaymaniyah and Wassit governorates. The Hamrin Mountain crosses Diyala from the north, giving way to a desert in the south. The Diyala River and a number of other smaller rivers intersect the governorate, the Tigris River crosses the southwestern borders and irrigated farmlands stretch along these rivers. Diyala has hot and dry summers, and precipitation is low and limited to the winter months.

The governorate hosts diverse ethno-religious groups: Arabs, Kurds, Turkmen, Christians, Yazidis and Ahl al-Haqq communities coexist. The governorate witnessed massive internal displacement waves due to Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) attacks in 2014.

Diyala has an unstable security situation, and at the beginning of 2016, the security situation deteriorated. Kidnap for ransom incidents have increased, as well as assassinations, explosions and armed tribal conflicts. In August 2016, some areas of Hamrin Lake were still suffering from ISIL’s active shelling, despite preventive measures taken to minimize risks10. The army, the police, and some factions of Al-Hashed al Sh’abi are in charge of maintaining security, and despite all these incidents, reportedly IDPs feel safe in the governorate11.

Despite the tight security measures in the governorate, IDPs are permitted to enter Diyala and can move freely. Returnees can access their location of origin and their properties, although there are often delays in the required security procedures.

Food security, shelter, services and needs12 The Diyala location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016. A total of 204 locations where 17,187 families live were assessed. Findings include: Some 60% of IDPs indicated that access to income is the first urgent need, shelter is the second urgent need (30%), while the third urgent need is food (5%)13. Reportedly, the main obstacle to access to income is the scarcity of jobs. As for food and shelter or housing, most IDPs consider them to be expensive.

In regard to services, 41% of IDPs reported they had no issues with healthcare services, while 30% indicated healthcare is expensive. Just over 44% said they had access to sanitation and hygiene, and 14% reported that the number of showers is insufficient. Most IDPs in Diyala stated they had access to education services in the governorate. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps of October 2015, 38% of households in Diyala reported they were unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement, but the percentage decreased slightly (37%) in June 201614.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The principal economic activities in Diyala are agriculture, livestock and poultry, which all benefit from the Diyala and the al-Adhem Rivers. Agriculture is a major source of income and employment, and the governorate is famous for its dates and citrus fruits15. There is an oilfield and an oil refinery in Khanaqin district, and al-Munthiriyya border crossing connects Diyala with neighboring Iran which enables cross-border trade16. Most of Diyala’s workforce is employed in the public sector. The private sector is weak due to poor infrastructure, lack of capital, lack of skilled labor and competing cheap imports17. Reportedly, IDPs and returnees are allowed to work and some of them work for daily wages to provide for their families’ needs. Generally, IDPs and host community members receive equal salaries. Daily paid work in construction and other manual labor—if available—are the most common opportunities for IDPs and returnees in the governorate18. Reportedly, 34% of IDPs in Diyala rely on agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 20% on government pensions, and 12% on small businesses19. Others depend on different sources20.

Community Overview Alean is a rural village that suffers from bad infrastructure; it depends on agriculture as its main source of income. The village market has several stores but they do not meet all the needs of the community. Most people in the community have trade skills and have completed primary education, but many are unemployed. Alean village is one of the most attractive for IDPs from Jalawla, Saadia and Muqdadiyah because of the low accommodation rental prices compared to other areas. It is close to the city center and several organizations assist IDPs. Currently, IDPs make up the majority of the population.

Periods of displacement

Community Overview Bakhtiari is an urban area on the road into Khanaqin district from Iran; it is close to Khanaqin’s city center. Before 2003, this area was a camp for Kurdish families returning from the forced relocation of the 1990s. Many families returned from Iran and other Iraqi governorates such as Anbar, Baghdad and Diyala. After 2006, this area received many displaced families from Baghdad and from the Baquba, Saadia, Jalawla, and Muqdadiyah districts of Diyala due to the low prices of housing. Many of those displaced by the 2014–2015 conflict came to Bakhtiari. Some organizations provide assistance to IDPs, but it is insufficient. The infrastructure is damaged and the local market consists of a series of small stores that don’t meet the community’s needs.

Erbil GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Erbil governorate is situated northwest of Iraq and is administered by the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG). The city of Erbil is the capital of the governorate, which is divided into nine districts: Erbil, Choman, Dashti Hawler, Khabat, Kuwaisinjaq, Mergasoor, Rawandoz, Shaqlawa and Soran. There are outstanding issues between Erbil and Ninewa over the administrative status of the Makhmur district. After the fall of Mosul in June 2014 to the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL), many Ninewa residents fled to the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). In August 2014, ISIL attacked the KRI from the Ninewa border, which is only 25 km away from the city of Erbil, and ISIL was able to take control of Makhmur district, which caused massive displacement to Erbil.

are represented: the majority of Erbil’s inhabitants are Sunni Muslims, but there are also many Christians, Yazidis and Kaka’is1. Throughout 2016, relations between Erbil and Baghdad worsened, especially since the 2014 oil and gas agreements, causing the Central Government to cut 17% of the KRG’s share of the Iraqi annual budget. Iraq’s Council of Ministers approved a draft of the federal budget for the fiscal year of 2017 on 23 August, 2016, for amounts to over $86.916 billion. The draft law requires the KRG to export 550,000 bpd through the Iraqi State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) as agreed in a December 2014 oil-revenue-sharing agreement2.

Kurds are the predominant ethnic group in Erbil, but there are also Assyrian, Arab and Turkmen minorities. A variety of religious groups

Erbil has a stable security situation and is considered a safe place by IDPs. The governorate witnessed considerable displacement movements from Anbar, Ninewa and Salah al-Din, particularly in pre-June – July 2014 and post-April 20158. Affording housing is a major problem for IDPs staying in rented accommodation, while those residing in camps or religious buildings have insufficient services. The high cost of living in Erbil is a concern for the displaced population. The large number of IDPs is also putting huge pressures on host communities and on the governorate’s economy9.

The main factors that attract IDPs to Erbil are stability and the services provided, which are better compared to other governorates. The main reason for leaving is the liberation of the IDPs’ areas of origin. IDPs are registered with the Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD), UNHCR, Barzani Charity Foundation (BCF) and Erbil’s Refugee Council. IDPs report that the registration process is smooth. According to information collected through the Location Assessment10 carried by IOM’s field teams, most IDPs report that their main reason for displacement is generalized violence and armed conflict, while a smaller number indicated losing a family member in targeted violence as their reason for displacement. More than 65% of IDPs intend to return to their areas of origin, while an equal percentage of 18% intend to either integrate locally or go abroad. In addition, around 50% of IDPs in Erbil

said they have no information on the “lost civil status documents” services, while a smaller parentage reported being aware of food distribution and the security situation11. As of 15 September, 2016, a total of 2,568 displaced families returned to Erbil; all returnees to Erbil are from within the governorate, and all of them now live in their habitual residences12. In addition to IDPs, Erbil hosts 116,847 registered Syrian refugees; of these, 85,403 refugees live in non-camp areas. The rest are distributed over four camps: Basirma (3,540 refugees), Darashakran (10,982), Kawergosk (10,170) and Qushtapa (6,752)13.

sEcuRITy14 The security situation is stable and no major security incidents have been reported since the beginning of 2016. The governorate’s security is maintained by the police, Assayish, Zeravany and Peshmerga forces. Despite the presence of IDPs, Syrian refugees and members of various sects, no group is under threat, and all IDPs surveyed report feeling safe in Erbil15. In early 2016, Turkey issued many laws restricting Iraqi citizens from travelling to Turkey, reportedly because of the high number of illicit immigrants from Turkey to Europe, but by mid-2016 these restrictions had eased. Turkey’s air forces sometimes conduct airstrikes targeting Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) facilities in Erbil, but no informal patrolling has been recorded and no groups are under threat.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss16 Erbil governorate has been relatively calm throughout 2016. IDPs are permitted to enter the governorate and can move freely. Due to fighting on the frontlines close to Erbil at the beginning of 2016, displacement movement from and to Erbil was limited, to prevent security breaches. Generally, there are no IDP movement restrictions and no areas are inaccessible to them. However, when they move from Erbil to other KRI governorates, IDPs have to have a residency card issued.

Food security, shelter, services and needs17 The Erbil location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 109 locations where 53,412 families live were assessed. The location assessment’s findings are as follows: Sixty-four per cent (64%) of IDPs reported access to income is the first urgent need, food is second (17%), while drinking water is the third urgent need (9%) for IDPs in the Erbil governorate18. The main obstacle related to access to income is the scarcity of jobs in the governorate; additionally most IDPs have reported that food and shelter or housing are too expensive. As for public services, more than half of IDPs find health care to be very expensive; one third find schooling opportunities to be insufficient, while the vast majority reported having sufficient access to sanitation and hygiene services. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps, in October 2015, 93% of households in Erbil reported being unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement, while this percentage decreased to 38% as of June 201619.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs20 The governorate is attractive for tourism as Erbil hosts the most famous mountain ranges in the KRI as well as many historical sites. Erbil boasts a citadel that dates back more than 6,000 years. It also has many shopping malls and accommodation and housing projects. Erbil governorate depends on agriculture for food supply although a substantial amount of food products are imported from Iran and Turkey. The main local products are wheat, barley, and fruits, while products harvested in the mountains include grapes, pomegranates, figs, pears, apples and walnuts. Erbil is rich in natural resources, especially oil and gas, and also metallic and non-metallic minerals, limestone and marble. The city of Erbil is a trade center in Iraq and a transit point for most imported materials reaching Iraq from abroad, particularly from Turkey. Due to Erbil’s political tensions with Baghdad, the cut of the KRG share from Iraq’s annual budget and the drop in global oil prices, the economy has recently suffered. The KRG has had to reduce some of the public employees’ salaries, depending on the salary grades. It is reported 26% of IDPs in Erbil governorate rely on skilled labor as their primary source of livelihood, 25% on agricultural labor while 19% depend on public pensions21. Others depend on various sources including government salaries, trade/vocation, small businesses and low skill services.

Community Overview This is a newly constructed area across the highway from Ainkawa center. Security is stable and the area is close to Erbil, so many job opportunities are available. Displacement to Ainkawa has been ongoing since 2007 and spiked again in 2014 when the neighborhood received a large number of Christian IDPs from Mosul and surrounding areas, as well as Arab families from Anbar. The majority of IDPs live in shared houses, where several families often share the same house. When they were first displaced, many IDP families were living in unfinished buildings; they were supported by the church and received assistance from humanitarian organizations. They were later moved to Al-Ekhaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; camp in Ainkawa. Pull factors for these IDPs include stable security, service availability, job opportunities and civil society organizations that support IDPs.

This is a small village that was inhabited by farmers in the past; however, in recent years many people began moving to the area due to its proximity to the city center and inexpensive housing. Approximately 27% of the population are displaced Yazidis, Shabak and Arabs and 7% are Syrian refugees. It is difficult to implement projects in the area because the communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s layout is irregular. IDPs come to this area due to its stable security, availability of services and perceived availability of job opportunities due to its proximity to the city.

Kerbala GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview One of the smallest governorates in Iraq, Kerbala is located southwest of the country. Irrigated farmland stretches along the Euphrates River east of Kerbala, while the western areas of the governorate are desert plains. Kerbala shares internal boundaries with the governorates of Anbar, Babylon and Najaf1. Kerbala has a typical dry, desert climate. It has hot summers, and precipitation is low in winter.

Shi’a Arabs are the dominant ethnic-religious group in Kerbala, but a small Sunni community also resides in the governorate2. The governorate was spared of the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) attacks, which swept over large parts of northwestern Iraq in 2014.

Demographics3 KERBALA As of September 15, 2016

AREA 5,034 KM2

The city of Kerbala is the capital of the governorate, which has an estimated population of 1,012,356 individuals, that is, approximately 3.2% of Iraq’s population. The area is 5,034 square kilometers, or around 1.0% of Iraq. Gender distribution is 50.7% for males and 49.3% for females. Around 66.5% of the governorate is urban and 33.5% is rural. Kerbala is the most populous district, followed by al-Hindiya and Ain al-Tamur.

Anbar in 2014, many families sought refuge in the governorate, and when the cities of Mosul and Tikrit were captured in June and July 2014, thousands of families displaced to Kerbala6. The factors that attract IDPs to Kerbala are the relatively stable security situation, the presence of relatives and common religious backgrounds7. Reportedly, IDP registration ceased after a decision by the Kerbala Provincial Council8.

ANBAR

Kerbala has been a relatively calm governorate since the beginning of 2016. IDPs are permitted to enter the governorate and can move freely. Although there are no restrictions on the IDPs’ movements, they do have to submit a transfer request form to the National Security to rent a house or move from one location to another. As of July 2016, all areas in the governorate were accessible.15

SALAH AL-DIN

The main reason of IDP displacement to this governorate is armed conflict in the areas of origin (65%), and 25% reported it was due to losing a family member in the generalized violence. As seen from information collected through the Location Assessment9 carried by IOM’s field teams, most IDPs intend to return to their areas of origin, and a smaller portion of them expect to integrate locally. Around one third of IDPs in Kerbala reported they do not have information on resettlement and migration options, and some said they had no information on healthcare services and non-food items/NFI distribution10.

Food security, shelter, services and needs16 The Kerbala location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 252 locations where a total of 10,632 families live were assessed. Findings include: About fifty-eight per cent (58%) of total IDPs assessed reported access to income is the first most urgent need, shelter or housing is the second (21%), while non-food items (NFI) is reported as the third most urgent need (14%).17 The main obstacle to access to income was reportedly the scarcity of jobs, and IDPs generally indicated that shelter or housing and NFIs were too expensive. As for services, in more than half of the total locations assessed IDPs stated they had access to education, healthcare and sanitation or hygiene services. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps, in October 2015, 10% of households in Kerbala reported they were unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since they were displaced, but all IDPs in the governorate gained access by June 201618.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Kerbala hosts the shrine of Imam Hussein, a holy site for Shiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Muslims that attracts pilgrims from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India. As a result, Kerbala has well-developed religious infrastructure19. The economy of Kerbala is mainly based on tourism and agriculture. The governorate hosts natural attractions including al-Razaza Lake and Ain al-Tamer, as well as many archaeological monuments. Agricultural lands and orchards are suitable for growing vegetables, fruits, and palm trees. There is significant industrial potential in the extraction industries in sand quarries and in the production of construction materials such as cement and bricks20. Despite the high unemployment rate among IDPs in the governorate, they are allowed to work and some of them have daily paid jobs. Generally, female-headed households and minorheaded households suffer from poor economic conditions. It is reported that 71% of IDPs in the governorate rely on agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 9% are civil servants and 6% rely on government pensions21. Others depend on different sources22.

Emergency cases are transferred to the hospital, which is 17 kilometers away so it is necessary to have an ambulance in the Health Care Center of Al-Kakaeiah Al-Sharkeiah. Some IDPs have been diagnosed with infectious diseases (e.g. scabies) especially among those IDPs who live in the Shi’a mosques, due to the absence of a sewage system and the accumulation of trash. Reportedly, people infected with skin diseases cannot get medical treatment because they cannot afford it.

It is reported that more than 81% of the total IDP population residing in Kirkuk governorate were displaced during 2014, with most of the displaced families coming originally from Anbar, Salah al-Din and Kirkuk governorates. Kirkuk continues to witness displacement movements: 15% of all IDPs living in the governorate arrived in 2015 and approximately 1% arrived in 2016.

security stability, availability of residential buildings and greater job opportunities. According to the location assessment7 carried out by IOMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field teams, the main factor that bring IDPs to Kirkuk are the military operations, ISIL attacks and generalized violence in their governorates and districts of origin. Most IDP families intend to integrate locally into their current locations in the short term, but expressed their desire to return to their areas of origin in the long run. In addition, a large number of IDPs reported they lack information on food distribution, and a few indicated they do not have access to information on legal services and non-food items (NFI)8 distributions.

GOVERNORATE OF LAST DISPLACEMENT OF RETURNEE FAMILIES

sEcuRITy Since 2014, the security situation in Kirkuk has steadily declined. In August that year, a three-car bombing killed over 30 people. The security situation in Kirkuk worsened in 2015, when ISIL forces attacked three towns on the outskirts of Kirkuk City in January. According to UNAMI reports, 14 people were killed in conflict-related violence in Kirkuk province in February, 30 in April and 16 in May 2015.10 As of September 2015, conflict in the southwest of the governorate continued as Kurdish Peshmerga forces advanced over the region reclaiming villages under the control of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).11 Since the beginning of 2016, the security situation continues to be unstable in the governorate. Explosions, kidnapping for ransom and assassination have been recorded in Kirkuk, where ISIL is allegedly exploiting children for suicide bombings. In August 2016, two children were deployed to carry out a suicide bombing inside Kirkuk; one proceeded with the bombing and the other was arrested by security forces. Although the security situation is considered critical in Kirkuk, all IDPs interviewed have reported feeling safe in the governorate12.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss13 The security situation is considered unstable in southern Kirkuk, as some areas remain under ISIL control. Military operations have been ongoing and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) has been facilitating the transportation of IDP families to safe areas, including Nizrawa and Laylan camps; IDP registration is ongoing and the process is reportedly smooth9.

Movement and access have been critical in Kirkuk due to the presence of ISIL militants in the southern areas of the governorate and security breaches inside Kirkuk governorate. According to the Kirkuk location assessment conducted in February 2016, 59% of the total identified locations where IDPS are were are accessible, and 41% had restricted access due to security reasons.

7. The IDPs location assessment carried out by IOM started on 15 October 2015 and was completed in early February 2016. 8. http://iraqdtm.iom.int/LocationAssessment.aspx 9.

It is reported that the Kirkuk-Hawiga and Kirkuk-Daquq checkpoints have been open for IDPs since the beginning of 2016. However, strict interrogations and security measures are held upon entrance. As of June and July 2016, five passage ways for IDPs into the governorate have been identified. •

Mama village, Dibis district checkpoint

•

Muktab Khaled, Yaychi sub-district – Kirkuk district checkpoint

•

Albo Muhammed, Daquq district checkpoint

•

From Mukhmour district, through Dibega, Dabes checkpoint

•

From Salah al-Din governorate, through Tuz Khurmato district to enter Kirkuk city.

No cases of IDP evictions from their homes or denial of access to land/property have been recorded for returnees. IDPs generally can move freely in Kirkuk governorate and there are no restrictions on their movement. However, IDP families must have a sponsor in order to move from the camps to the city center.

Food security, shelter, services and needs14 The Kirkuk location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 63 out of 107 locations were assessed. The location assessment’s findings are as follows: Forty-one per cent (41%) of displaced families reported shelter and housing as the first priority need, access to income came second (33%), and health services ranked third (19%).

IOM - Iraq

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Agribusiness, wholesale and retail trade, manufacturing and professional services are the main economic sectors in the governorate. Despite the existence of large amounts of oil, Kirkuk is not benefitting economically since many of its old oil fields’ production are in decline and most of its reserves remain undeveloped15. Tensions between KRG and Baghdad regarding oil revenue and control of Kirkuk oil fields date back many decades. Control of the western Kirkuk oilfields has become even more vital, because of the dire financial straits that Iraq is suffering due to high government spending needs and the global collapse in oil prices since November 201416. Throughout 2016, relations between Erbil and Baghdad have worsened, particularly after the central government cut 17% of the KRG’s share of the Iraqi annual budget. In this tense context, Kirkuk’s oil could either fill a gap in Iraq’s federal budget of 2017 or become, yet again, a source of disagreement between KRG and Baghdad. On 23 August 2016, Iraq’s Council of Ministers approved a draft of the federal budget for the 2017 fiscal year for over US$86.9 billion. The Iraqi Government has called on the KRG to abide by the budget law for three years to receive its 17% appropriation. The draft law requires the KRG to export 550,000 bpd through the Iraqi State Organization for Marketing of Oil (SOMO) as agreed in a December 2014 oil-revenue-sharing agreement17. Generally, IDPs and returnees are allowed to work in Kirkuk governorate. Daily unskilled labor are the most commons jobs. Reportedly, IDPs receive lower wages than host community members for daily paid jobs18.

In the same assessment, high prices were reported as the main issue with housing and health services in the governorate, while lack of job availability was indicated as the main problem with access to income. In terms of services, more than 45% of IDPs reported that health services are too expensive, while 25% said health facilities are limited. As for education services, 38% of displaced families indicated that the number of schools is insufficient. Moreover, 81% of IDPs specified they did not have issues with sanitation and hygiene services in the governorate.

Community Overview The community is an urban area located northeast of Kirkuk province; most of its inhabitants are Kurds, with some Turkmen and Arab families as well. It was a military area until 2003; between 2006 and 2007 it received a number of IDPs, and a significant wave of displaced people in 2014 and 2015. The area is connected to the Kirkuk-Sulaymaniyah highway, making it an important economic hub, but government support is weak, particularly in education and healthcare services, and most streets are unpaved. Most IDPs live in unfinished and irregular houses where they are paying rent.

Missan GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Located southeast of Iraq, Missan governorate is adjacent to the Basra, Wassit and Thi-Qar governorates. It shares borders with Iran through al-Sheeb border crossing, and is divided into six districts: Amara, Qal’at Saleh, Ali al-Gharbi, al-Mejar al-Kabir, al-Maimouna, and al-Kahla. Over 40% of the population live in the marshlands, which once covered two-thirds of the governorate. However, after the Shi’a uprising in the 1990s, much of the landscape turned into desert because of the drainage campaign enforced by the former Ba’ath regime1.

Most of Missan’s inhabitants are Shi’a, but the governorate also has a Sunni minority and small communities of Christians and Mandeans. Arabs are the predominant ethnic group but there is also a small group of Failli Kurds. The marshland inhabitants practice traditional methods of agriculture, fishing and water buffalo breeding. Tribal bonds and identity remain strong in the governorate.

Demographics2 MISSAN As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 16,072 KM2

Missan covers almost 3.7% of Iraq (16,072 square kilometers) and has a population of approximately 824,147 individuals (almost 3% of Iraq’s total population). There is no tangible distinction in gender distribution in Missan: males and females each represent 50% of the population. About 65% of the governorate is urban and 35% is rural. Amara is the most populous district, with 53% of Missan’s population, followed by the Qal’at Saleh district (21%); other districts are more sparsely populated3.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment9 carried by IOMâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s field teams, a majority of IDPs report their main reason of displacement to this governorate to be the generalized violence and armed conflict in their areas of origin. Most of them express their intention to integrate in their current location, and a smaller percentage report they would eventually return to their areas of origin. More than 30% of IDPs in Missan said they lacked information on the security situation, and others reported they did not have information on resettlement and migration options and lost civil status document services10.

BREAKDOWN OF IDP FAMILIES AT DISTRICT-LEVEL Total: 973

As of 15 September, 2016

IDPs are allowed into Missan and can move freely; they can access all areas in the governorate and are permitted to work, since they hold a MoMD-issued IDs. Since mid-2016, some IDPs have been returning to their locations of origin, especially to Salah alDin governorate13.

Food security, shelter, services and needs The Missan location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 114 locations where 1,078 families live were assessed. The main findings are14: About 56% of all IDP families indicated that shelter or housing is their first most urgent need, non-food items (NFI) is reported the second urgent need (31%), while food is indicated the third urgent need (12%).15 Reportedly, the primary concern related to shelter or housing is high prices, while the lack of jobs is the challenge linked to access to income, and inadequate waste management is seen as the main issue with sanitation and hygiene services.

In terms of services, most IDPs in Missan reported they have access to health and education services and sanitation and hygiene, although they indicated that waste management is inadequate. Service availability and quality differ from one location to another.

Missan is considered one of the most stable governorates in Iraq, and no major security incidents have been reported since the beginning of 2016. However, tribal conflicts occasionally take place, and to prevent them, frequent meetings and conferences are held by the Ministry of Interior, in cooperation with the Directorate of Tribal Affairs, encouraging tribal leaders and members to solve their issues peacefully. There have been a few cases of kidnapping and sound bombs in the governorate, yet these occurrences are rare compared to other Iraqi governorates. There are no informal militia patrols in the governorate, and the Iraqi Army, police, national security forces and intelligence services ensure its security. No groups are targeted in Missan, despite the existence of minorities; reportedly, 99% of IDPs feel safe in the governorate12.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Missan’s economy has long relied on agricultural activities, but these have diminished due to the destruction of the marshlands during the former regime’s drainage campaign. Because they led to a drop in the value of wheat by decreasing this crop’s profitability, the PDS has also inadvertently affected Missan’s farmers17. An estimated 325,000 people have been affected by drought in the past two years in this governorate. The Provincial Government is prioritizing the water irrigation system to decrease water shortages in the long term18. Hosting several construction factories, Missan is a vital industrial center that produces gravel and cement; however, industrial development came to a grinding halt because of the lack of investment and aging infrastructure. The governorate is rich in natural resources including oil; the Halfaya oilfield is located in Missan. The oil sector is developed by a consortium led by the China National Petroleum Corporation, the French company Total and the Malaysian-owned Petronas. Oil has been produced since 201219. The Iraqi Ministry of Oil, in cooperation with the governorate of Missan and the Investment Authority, have signed a contract with an oil and gas company to build a refinery in the governorate. Construction has started and eventually the refinery is expected to process an estimated 150,000 barrels of oil per day. This project will provide an estimated 2,000 jobs for Missan’s population and will greatly improve economic conditions in the governorate.20 About 33% of IDPs in Missan perform agricultural labor and small businesses as their primary source of livelihood. Other employment types include skilled labor (25%) and trade (18%); 10% reportedly have no primary source of income . Others depend on different sources22.

The community is an urban area of 3.5 square kilometers with many informal settlements. It continues to attract IDPs because of inexpensive housing and available services. Many community members left the area in 1991 due to the bad security situation and returned in 2005. In 2009, the government completed some service projects such as renewing the sewage system, paving the roads, and implementing electricity and water network projects.

Community Overview Hay Al Rasool was established in the early eighties. Lands were distributed to the families of the Iran-Iraq war martyrs. Most of the families living in this neighborhood came from villages, rural areas and the desert. Other residents are from Al Amara district and moved to Hay Al Rasool from other places, usually due to the availability of inexpensive land and low rental costs. It is a populous neighborhood and residents share strong tribal ties. Most residents are from tribes or clans that moved from the countryside to the city in search for work and services after 2003, when the government improved the area’s infrastructure by paving streets and installing sewage systems. Most host community members live in homes; a few rent houses or live in informal settlements. IDPs live in rented housing.

Najaf GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Najaf is located in southwest Iraq and borders Saudi-Arabia. It shares domestic boundaries with Anbar, Kerbala, Babylon, Qadissiya and Muthanna governorates. Desert plains dominate the governorateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape; a ribbon of irrigated farmland runs along the course of the Euphrates River, which intersects the governorate near its eastern border1. Najaf is divided into three districts: al-Najaf, Kufa and al-Manathera2.

The dominant ethno-religious group is Shiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;a Arabs, except for the area near the Euphrates River, in the northeastern part of the governorate. The governorate has well-developed religious infrastructure. The governorate has been spared of the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) attacks, which swept over large parts of northwestern Iraq in 2014.

The area has hot and dry summers, and precipitation is low and limited to the winter months.

Demographics3 NAJAF As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 28,824 KM2

The population is estimated to be 1,220,145 individuals. The area is 28,824 square kilometers, that is, almost 6.6% of Iraq. The gender distribution is balanced, with an even ratio of men to women. Around 71.1% of the governorate is urban and 28.9% is rural. Kufa is the most populous district, followed by al-Najaf and al-Manathera.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment6 carried by IOM’s field teams, IDPs’ main reason for displacement is losing a family member due to generalized violence in their areas of origin. Most IDPs have expressed intentions to return to their areas of origin, and a smaller portion of them have reported their wish to integrate in their current locations.

As of 15 September, 2016

The Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD), through its Najaf Office, registers IDPs in accordance with its regulations. IDP registration has been suspended since April 2016; however, the Security Forces and the Mukhtars are registering IDPs upon their arrival.

Total: 13,116

displace to this governorate include the presence of relatives in the governorate, belonging to the same religious group and the availability of religious buildings to accommodate IDPs free of charge.

Najaf has been a relatively calm governorate throughout 2016. IDPs are allowed into the governorate and can move freely; as of July 2016, all areas were accessible to IDPs and host community members.

The Najaf location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 115 locations where 13,835 families live were assessed. The assessmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s main findings include:

sEcuRITy8 Najaf has the lowest number of security incidents in Iraq. Since 2012,9 less than 1% of all security incidents in Iraq have taken place in Najaf. Since 2016, the governorate has been generally stable, although a few cases of theft and kidnapping have been recorded. In order to maintain security, checkpoints have been set up across the governorate and security patrols have intensified. No informal patrols have been reported in Najaf and no specific groups are under threat; all IDPs reported feeling safe in the governorate10.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The stable security situation and in particular the ethno-religious make-up of Najaf have attracted many IDPs to the governorate. Religious tourism is the governorate’s most important sector as it contributes to almost 30% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Economic activities in Najaf include the production of cement and other building materials, and mineral and hydrocarbon extraction; there are also agribusinesses. The main agricultural produce includes wheat, rice, dates and vegetables14.The expansion of tourism and industrial development are hindered by limited private sector investment, inadequate infrastructure, and restrictive regulations on religious tourism15. Although there is a high unemployment rate among IDPs in the governorate, they are allowed to work and reportedly some work for daily wages to provide for their families’ needs. Generally, IDPs and host community members receive equal salaries. The most common employment sectors for IDPs in Najaf are construction and other unskilled labor. Reportedly, 48% of IDPs in Najaf rely on agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 22% are civil servants and 18% reportedly have no primary source of income16. Others depend on different sources17.

Hay Abi Taleb is a newly constructed area with unfinished infrastructure because the government ran out of funding for infrastructure projects in this area. The communityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s biggest problem is the accumulation of garbage. Hay Abi Taleb does not have a centralized market and it is far from the city center. Most community residents have primary school or high school education and work in daily paid jobs. IDPs came from Ninewa and mostly settled in religious buildings; however, some have since moved out.

Ninewa GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview Situated in northwest Iraq, Ninewa governorate borders Syria, the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, and Salah al-Din and Anbar governorates. It is the second largest governorate in Iraq in terms of both area and population, and its capital is Mosul city. The Tigris and Great Zab Rivers bring water to much of Mosul, but there are arid, semi-desert plains south of Mosul city1. Mosul is the northern top of the Sunni Triangle, a region in northwest Iraq that is densely populated by Sunni Arabs. The governorate itself has a diverse ethno-religious background; in addition to

the Sunni Arab population, there are Shi’a Arabs, Kurds, Assyrians, Chaldeans, Turkmen, Yezidis, Shabak and other minorities.2 After the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) insurgents seized Fallujah and Ramadi districts in Anbar governorate in January 2014, they turned their efforts to capture Mosul city. On June 2014, after four days of fighting with the Iraqi Army, the city as well as Mosul International Airport fell under ISIL’s control. As a result, thousands of families fled the governorate.

Demographics3 NINEWA As of September 15, 2016

AREA 37,323 KM2

According to Ministry of Planning, Ninewa has a population of about 3,110,000 (approximately 11.5% of Iraq’s total population) and covers 37,323 square kilometers (8.6% of Iraq). Gender distribution in the governorate is quite even, with 50.9% males and 49.1% females; 60.8% of the governorate is urban and 39.2% is rural. Mosul is the most populous district (54%), followed by Telafer (13.7%) and Sinjar (8.7%).

Those from the east bank find it extremely difficult to cross the ISIL-controlled areas, then the frontlines and the river to escape towards KRI. It is more likely that these populations would flee towards Tal-Musa (Zummar) and Telafer. Between 100,000 and 1 million people are expected to displace because of the Mosul offensive, and three scenarios are foreseen:7

ESCAPE PASSAGES

70,000

Due to ISIL’s takeover of Mosul, thousands of families fled to other governorates seeking a safe place to live. Most of these families fled to KRI: 99% of all IDP families in Dahuk and 42% of all IDPs in Erbil are originally from Ninewa governorate. Shi’a Muslim Turkmen and Shabak mainly fled to Najaf and Kerbala governorates in the south of Iraq. As liberation operations continue to intensify in Ninewa, it is difficult to estimate the number of people fleeing the violence due to access limitations for security reasons. Civilians are either trapped inside conflict areas, with no means of escape, have managed to reach safe locations in the KRI, or have managed to leave Ninewa but remain close to the frontlines or in buffer zones6. The Tigris River remains the main delimitation for the besieged population trying to find escape routes from Mosul into either KRI or areas controlled by the Government of Iraq (GOI). People from the west bank of the river are likely to flee towards the east,

IOM Community Stabilizaiotn Handbook 2015 - 2016

IOM - Iraq

The main reason behind displacement to Ninewa governorate is escaping the war zones, particularly in Anbar and Salah alDin governorates. Other reasons include lack of services in the governorates of origin, fear of bombardments, and avoiding ISIL rules and regulations. Reportedly, the Ministry of Migration and Displacement (MoMD), Ninewa branch, has stopped registering IDPs since the beginning of 2016, but the government is continuing with registration for security reasons10.

The main reason IDPs reported for their displacement to Ninewa is generalized violence, although some reported it was due to losing a family member in their areas of origin. Most IDPs intend to locally integrate in the short term, but wish to return to their areas of origin on the long term. Some of IDPs reported they lack information on the security situation, and a few said they lack information on legal services and resettlement and migration options11.

sEcuRITy13 Since 2003, the security situation has deteriorated in Ninewa; the governorate has witnessed many car explosions, kidnappings, sectarian conflicts and ethnic cleansing incidents, creating an unstable security situation. In 2014, the security situation worsened even further and governmental bodies were dissolved. After a four-day offensive in June 2014, ISIL took control of the governorate’s capital, Mosul. Scores of ISIL vehicles entered from the Syrian border in support of the ISIL militants on the ground. Many Iraqi military soldiers were captured and killed. ISIL violence has affected the entire population of the region and particularly minority groups and Shi’a Muslims, although individuals who are perceived to be disloyal to ISIL are also targeted.

Since August 2016, the Iraqi army has been receiving air support from a US-led international coalition, preparing the ground for Kurdish defense forces to recapture large areas from ISIL. However, these areas are still unsafe because ISIL constantly challenges the Kurdish military. There are virtually no minority groups left in Ninewa: about half of the population have sought refuge in KRI, while others have fled to south Iraq or other governorates in the center of the country. In August 2014, ISIL also took control of the Sinjar district and surrounding villages, where an estimated 65% Yezidis were living. Thousands of Yezidis fled to the Sinjar Mountain escaping ISIL brutality; those who were unable to flee were abducted, killed or enslaved, particularly Yazidi women. Sinjar was finally liberated in November 2015. The Makmour district and the Gwer sub-district are strategically located a few miles south of the KRI’s capital, Erbil, and in the vicinity of several oil fields. In early August 2014 ISIL captured the area and several villages around it, suddenly becoming a direct threat to Erbil. ISIL’s conquest of Makmour and Gwer was considered one of the factors that prompted the US forces’ airstrikes against ISIL positions in late August 2014. Eventually, Kurdish forces managed to regain control of Makmour and Gwer during the same month. ISIL has been committing crimes against humanity, inflicting horrendous treatment to residents, publicly executing innocent people and extorting and abusing residents in the areas they control, regardless of age, sex, race, religion and ethnic affiliation. Very little or no information about people’s wellbeing is known other than occasional unconfirmed reports from media outlets and social media sites. Reportedly, basic needs, supplies and services are scarce, limited or unavailable. To retake Mosul from ISIL control, the combined Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) and Peshmerga, backed by international coalition forces, have been waging military operations in the region14.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss Movement and access are restrictive in Ninewa because of ISIL control, frequent fights and security incidents. According to IOM’s location assessment, 51% of all identified locations were inaccessible at the beginning of 2016. Because of security reasons, IDPs in the liberated areas need a permit to cross and return to the Kurdistan governorates. Reportedly, ISIL is not allowing IDPs who were displaced from other governorates to Mosul to leave the city.

Food security, shelter, services and needs15 According to the Ninewa location assessment carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016, only 74 locations — out of 152 where 29,615 live—were assessed because of security considerations. The main findings include: Over 50% of IDP families reported access to income as their first urgent need, shelter is the second urgent need (38%), while the third urgent need is food (5%). The scarcity of job opportunities is considered the main issue with access to income, and high prices are the main concern related to NFIs.

IOM - Iraq

It is reported that 38% of IDPs in Ninewa work in agriculture, 22% in trade, 14% are civil servants and 14% have no primary source of livelihood. The remaining 12% depend on skilled labor, public pensions, services, private businesses and low-skilled jobs.21 Despite Ninewa governorate’s comparative relevance in Iraq in terms of population density and the size of its territory, events over the past years have caused Ninewa’s resource base to diminish. In addition to losses in cropland and oil production, the governorate has seen the Iraqi Government’s budget allocation considerably reduced and even cancelled during the 2014 and 2015 fiscal years.

In terms of services, 36% of IDPs have no issues with education services, while 20% indicated that classrooms/schools are insufficient and 17% reported that education materials are expensive. A total of 23% of IDPs have no issues accessing health services, but 21% reported the Health Care Center is too far away and 15% indicated the equipment is insufficient. Regarding sanitation and hygiene, 35% could access services but 31% indicated there is no waste management. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps of October 2015, 27% of households in Ninewa reported they were unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since displacement, but this figure decreased to 2% by June 201616.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Agriculture is the main productive sector in Ninewa, particularly cereal, sugar cane, sunflowers, vegetables, and medicinal and aromatic herbs. Before 2003 more than 5.25 million acres of land in Ninewa were cultivated with wheat and barley. Despite significant reductions in cropland cultivation, Ninewa still produces a quarter of Iraq’s yield of wheat and barley. Industrial activity consists mainly of cement and factories producing sugar, textile, and beverages. Other economic activities include commercial retail stores, small factories and privately owned shops17. Ninewa governorate is famous for its oilfields and hydrocarbon production.18 Ninewa has been severely affected by successive years of drought, with 47% of all cropland impacted from 2009 to 2010. In many areas water supplies are becoming inadequate for either human or agricultural use. Some villages only receive municipal water every seven to ten days; in others it is barely once a month, while villages in more remote locations have no access to water19. Some IDPs in Ninewa accept dangerous jobs such as digging tunnels for ISIL, assisting in crude oil smuggling, working in oil refinery sites or recruiting for ISIL.20

Community Overview Rabya’a city in Tal Afar district was established in 1961. It is bordered by the Sinuni and Eyadhya sub-districts and Syria. There are about 80 villages in Rabya’a district and most residents are farmers who work on their own lands. Rabya’a district has an estimated population of t 85,000,and Rabya’a city about 12,000. Most of the city’s inhabitants are Arab Sunnis from the Shammar tribe, and have remained throughout the ISIL occupation. Reportedly Syrian refugees also lived there, but they fled as ISIL advanced on the area and did not return. ISIL attacked Rabya’a City at the end of June 2014. Many residents fled to Syria, surrounding villages under Peshmerga control, villages under ISIL control, the KRI, and Mosul. The city was reclaimed by the Peshmerga on 1 October 2014. After that, the Peshmerga’s counter offensive moved to the surrounding villages in Rabya’a sub-district, all of which were reportedly reclaimed by the end of 2014. Those who did not return are thought to be those who displaced to ISIL-controlled areas and are prevented from returning by security forces. Before ISIL’s occupation, the economy in Rabya’a was strong because of its proximity to the Syrian borders, which made it a transit point for Syrian goods sold in northern Iraq; it also has a solid agricultural sector. Much of the municipal equipment, farming equipment, electricity materials and household items were looted during the occupation, and now residents heavily rely on support from NGOs.

Power plants were damaged by ISIL and the city is currently depending on the old power plants.

Those who do not have access to electricity are living in informal settlements or unfinished buildings, or in parts of the town where the network was damaged by the military operations.

Water and Sanitation % of community with access to municipal water

There is no sewage system. Residents use private trucks to dispose of waste water.

•

95% of the community has access to municipality water for domestic use. The 5% who do not have access are living in unfinished buildings or informal settlements and are getting their water from open/broken pipes.

•

The network depends on 24 wells across the city, which provide water to 4 large tanks that distribute the water to the network. However, this water is not potable because it is salty and impure, so residents use this water only for washing and buy drinking water from trucks.

•

The water project in Rabya’a is located in an area that is still under ISIL control. Residents are using shallow wells and have expressed the need for deep wells, but they are worried about digging into an oil field.

wells are the main sources of water for irrigation.

Economy

•

Before the occupation, residents grew vegetables, but they have not been able to restart their crops because the Al-Jazeera irrigation system connecting the town to the Tigris River is damaged. UNDP has assessed these damages.

•

About 200 farms are using private wells and are producing vegetables. But this is expensive because they have to pay for the maintenance of these private systems.

A significant number of people hold university degrees or technical institute degrees, but they are usually working in fields unrelated to their education, except for a few who are working with the local authorities.

•

Uneducated residents are working either working for daily wages in the city or serving in the military or police forces.

UNDP noted that the income generating assets of women, including sewing machines and poultry, were looted along with other household items and farm machinery.

•

It is noted that widows are not receiving the customary widow’s pension from the central government because they are unable to prove their husbands were killed by ISIL.

Psychosocial CHARACTERISTICS Available Resources •

There are 315,000 acres of agricultural land available in Rabya’a sub-district, which can be improved if residents learn to use modern agricultural methods and are given higher quality fertilizers.

UNDP notes that residents generally feel that the KRG and GoI exclude them despite their allegiance to the Government, as returning families are not receiving the standard 1 million IQD cash grant (approximately USD 800). Also, many members of the Shammar tribe fought with the Peshmerga to liberate their village, but their offer to participate in the Mosul liberation offensive was rejected.

Agriculture •

Restoring agricultural production for Rabya’a city and its surrounding areas is a top priority.

•

Agriculture in the area depends on cash crops (vegetables), field crops (barley, wheat, maize), forages, livestock and poultry. However, ISIL looted a large amount of farming equipment.

•

There are mostly goat herders in this community, but their goats were stolen or killed during occupation; there is currently little agricultural activity. Livestock workers lack medicines and treatments for their animals and many sheep have diseases. The veterinary department is giving consultations, but cannot supply medicine.

To address urgent medical needs within the community of Rabya’a, the International Organization for Migration (IOM) is converting two rooms into a functional surgery theater and extending the facility in order to provide additional recovery room and changing facilities. The project aims to provide more comprehensive healthcare services for the community.

Further recommendations 1. Fix the water network to provide the people with salubrious and clean water. 2. Solve the trash collection problem by providing the municipality with the necessary machinery to do the job. 3. Maintain the electrical transformer substation, which will help the people of the community to get stable and continuous electricity supply. 4. Provide the health centre with the necessary medical equipment to help in patients’ diagnosis and treatment. 5. Build a new kindergarten as the old one is abandoned and being used as a shelter for IDPs. 6. Build a new school to lessen the pressure on schools.

Community Overview Shaykhka is located on the main route between Alqosh centre and Shekhan centre. There are many shops on this road that make Shaykhka a stopping point for travellers. Many residents have trade skills. The infrastructure is very poor and the biggest problem in this community is garbage. There is a large number of IDPs in this community and the host community has been receptive and welcoming, making IDPs feel safe and comfortable. However, half of the IDPs in this community are living in unfinished buildings, and many are unable to access the community’s generators. Although this community was never occupied, when ISIL was in nearby communities (approximately June – October 2014), the Government stopped providing services to Shaykhka. After ISIL was pushed out of the immediate area, some of the services resumed but not to their former functionality. While security is provided by Peshmerga, the Central Government still administers this area.

Community Overview Zummar village was established in 1985 after the old town was destroyed in a flood. It was developing and receiving significant government assistance until ISIL occupied the area. Before ISILâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s attack on 2 August 2014, Zummar had a population of 24,000 individuals. About 40% of them, mostly Kurds, fled to the KRI when ISIL took the town; the rest, mostly Arabs, remained. When military operations began to liberate Zummar in October 2014, those who had remained fled to Mosul and surrounding villages. Currently, Zummar has about 15,000 inhabitants, all of who are returnees from the KRI or IDPs from surrounding villages. Generally, the 2014 IDPs are those who tried to return, likely from other areas of Ninewa, to villages around Zummar, but their homes were destroyed in the battles. Some Zummar residents remain displaced in the KRG or Mosul. The infrastructure was damaged during the liberation military operations and assistance from the central government stopped. The KRG is now providing most services to this area. In general, residents have trade skills and work in various businesses.

Salah al-Din GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview The Salah al-Din governorate, named after a twelfth-century Kurdish Muslim leader who fought against the Crusaders, is situated north of Baghdad; it has seven districts and its landscape is one of the most rural in Iraq. Tikrit city, the governorate’s capital, was the birthplace of Saddam Hussein, the former ruler of Iraq. The governorate also hosts the Baiji Oil Refinery, the largest in Iraq. There are some outstanding issues between Salah al-Din and the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) regarding the administrative status of the Tooz district1.

Salah al-Din has suffered ongoing armed conflict since 2014. Before June 2014, it was a destination for IDPs fleeing violence in Anbar governorate, but when violence spread after the armed groups’ (AGs) takeover of Mosul and Tikrit, families began to displace within Salah al-Din en masse2. Salah al-Din has a rich history and many historical monuments. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) named Samarra district as one of the World Heritage Sites in 20073.

Demographics4 SALAH AL-DIN As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 24,075 KM2

The population is estimated to be 1,191,403, that is, almost 4% of Iraq’s total population. The area is 24,075 square kilometers, covering almost 5.6% of Iraq. The gender distribution is quite even, males representing 50% and females 50% of the population; 54% of the governorate is rural and 46% is urban. Balad is the most populous district, with 19% of the governorate’s population, followed by Samarra, with 17%; other districts are less populated5.

Over the past decade, Salah al-Din saw multiple displacement movements; the largest was in 2006, when the February 2006 bombing of al-Askari Shia Mosque in Samarra district triggered a wave of sectarian conflict, causing the displacement of 1.6 million persons between 2006 and 20088. Following the outbreak of conflict in December 2013, 4,644 individuals left Salah al-Din, among other places to Erbil, but the governorate was also the area of displacement for 2,742 IDPs who were driven out of Anbar. After AGs seized control of Tikrit in early June 2014, 149,382 individuals left Salah al-Din. Most of them went to Kirkuk and governorates of Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI). An estimated 95% of IDPs in Salah al-Din are from within the governorate9.

Towards Stability: Improving Resilience & Promoting Cohesion

IOM Community Stabilizaiotn Handbook 2015 - 2016

sEcuRITy The security situation remains tense, as heavy clashes between Armed Groups (AGs) and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) have been ongoing since May 2015, with the fiercest battles taking place near Baiji’s Oil Refinery.15 The governorate witnessed persecutions and public executions; the AGs imposed their own laws in the areas under their control. Public infrastructure and houses have been severely damaged. In October 2015, the Baiji district was liberated, but due to the severe damages inflicted to the refinery, the largest in Iraq, its facilities cannot function normally, negatively affecting the country’s economy16. AGs have reportedly been destroying ancient religious sites in Salah al-Din, leading to the loss of historical heritage in the region17. IDPs are often injured or killed when they attempt to flee the areas of military operations, as ISIL targets them with mortar shells. Generally, the ISF and the Iraqi Army maintain security, and Assayish is active In Tooz district;18 reportedly, 84.4% of IDPs feel safe in the governorate19.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss20 Due to tight security measures, movement and access have been difficult. Generally, IDPs can access the governorate, but they need to obtain a letter of approval from the governorate. For returnees, a specific letter for returnees is required to pass through security checks and prove they have no ties to the AGs. Due to tribal and sectarian tensions, IDPs are not permitted to access their areas of origin in the Sleman Begg sub-district in the Tooz district, and parts of the Yethrib sub-district in the Balad district, although the areas were liberated more than a year ago. By August 2016 the al-Shirqat district was still under ISIL control, although a few locations have been liberated and there is reportedly a plan to liberate the entire district.

Food security, shelter, services and needs The Salah al-Din location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; only 90 out of 125 locations were assessed, due to security and accessibility challenges; 22,696 families were assessed. The main findings are21:

IOM - Iraq

The main issue with drinking water was its poor quality and scarcity; the price of food and shelter or housing was thought to be too expensive. In terms of services, 29% of IDPs in Salah al-Din stated that healthcare facilities are insufficient, and a few said they are too expensive; 33% reported that the sanitation and hygiene services are insufficient, and 20% indicated that the quality of sanitation and hygiene services is poor and that there is a lack of waste management. As for education, 20% reported infrastructure to be poor and another 20% reported that education materials are too expensive. According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps of June 2016, 35% of households in Salah al-Din reported they were unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since they displaced23.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The principal economic activities in Salah al-Din are agriculture and oil processing; the main crops are grapes, apples and citrus fruits. However, the agricultural sector in the governorate suffers from land ownership issues, lack of modern techniques, poor coordination between the agriculture and industry sectors, and absence of technical research facilities. Due to two successive years of drought, the governorate’s crop coverage has been halved in two. Salah al-Din is an industrial center, home to the Baiji refinery, the Samarra pharmaceutical factory, as well as cement and detergent factories. The governorate hosts several religious and historical tourism destinations and archaeological monuments, including important mosques and shrines, in the districts of Samarra and Balad. The city of Samarra has hundreds of archeological remains along the Tigris River24. Reportedly, many households, and particularly female-headed households, do not have enough income to cover their daily expenses. Generally, IDPs are allowed to work in Salah al-Din and daily paid jobs are common for IDPs; IDPs and host community members receive equal salaries25. An estimated 39% of IDPs in Salah al-Din perform agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 17% are civil servants, and 12% performs on skilled labor and another 12% rely on government pensions; 19% have no primary source of income26. Others depend on different sources27.

The first urgent need for IDPs in the Salah al-Din governorate is potable water (34%), access to income is the second urgent need (31%), while food the third urgent need (18%).22 13. 14. 15. 16. 17. 18. 19. 20. 21. 22. 23. 24. 25. 26. 27. 254

Community Overview Al Jubhuriya Al Thania is a newly established urban area with houses in good condition. Most infrastructure and services are newly established and have received little maintenance. Most residents are unskilled and only have primary school education. This community is a destination of choice for a large number of IDPs because it enjoys a stable security situation. Over half of the IDPs in Al Jubhuriya Al Thania live in unfinished buildings and intend to return to their areas of origin when they are able to do so. This community, while fully controlled by ISF and considered more stable than other areas of Samarra, is close to the eastern side of the Al Jullam, a highly dangerous location.

It is a crowded, semi-urban area that was occupied by ISIL from 26 June 2014 until 1 April 2015. During this time, the area was heavily contested because it is largely controlled by the al-Juboori tribe. Most of the HC is from this tribe and aligned with the Government. At beginning of June 2015, ISIL forced residents to leave the area and confiscated their properties. An estimated 75% of the community fled to Kirkuk governorate and Samarra district. In early April 2015, they started returning to their homes.

Most of those who remained during ISIL’s occupation reportedly fled when the military operations to liberate the area began; the location was fully secured as of 1 April 2015. After the liberation, an estimated 79% of the community’s residents returned to their areas, while the others are believed to have left the country. Fighting between ISIL and ISF lasted for more than 6 months and caused severe damage to the infrastructure, as ISIL looted many electricity transformers and water pumps, and damaged the nearby power plant. IDPs in this community are mostly from Shirqat, Baiji and Kirkuk and arrived after liberation.

ISIL stole many of the community’s electrical transformers, reducing the amount of electricity available to the community. The electricity department in Salah al-Din replaced half of the transformers and repaired the power lines, but only for 10 amps/house, which is only enough to power lights and a refrigerator.

•

98% of the community has access to public electricity for 10 hours during summer and 8 hours during winter

•

2% of the community has no access to electricity because they live in unfinished buildings or informal settlements, or because the transformers were looted. These are mostly IDPs.

•

Most families are unable to afford kerosene. The government distributes 100 liters of kerosene per month but it is not enough, considering the shortage in electricity and the need to heat houses.

•

ISIL occupied the nearby power station and shut it down; the station has only partially regained its former capacity.

•

The Government and UNDP have assessed the damages, but have not implemented any projects to fix them.

•

A Turkish company was building a new sewage system before the occupation, but had to stop due to the conflict. Residents dispose of septic waste in private disposal trucks.

Incomplete sewage system.

Garbage Collection

Yes

UNDP removed rubble from the main streets, but there is still a significant amount of debris in the area.

•

There is no garbage collection and trash is everywhere, causing bad smells and spreading diseases.

After the IDPs arrived, the community requested garbage removal and support in raising health awareness.

There are six schools; they are very crowded and there is no high school for girls.

ISIL reportedly stole much of the equipment and medication and moved it to Mosul for its followers. Only medicines and equipment for basic treatment are available, and the center is struggling to purchase replacements. The nearest hospital (Salah al-Din General Hospital) is 2 km away from this community and most residents cannot afford treatment there, especially IDPs. Other Tikrit hospitals are out of service, increasing the pressure on the small and underserviced centers.

Women in this community work in hairdressing salons and women’s clothing shops.

The main factors that attract IDPs to Sulaymaniyah are the stable security situation and the availability of public services, whereas the economic crisis and the lack of job opportunities are the main factors for leaving the governorate9.

As of 15 September, 2016

Since the onset of violence in December 2013, the governorate received three waves of IDPs in 2014: during the January Anbar crisis, the June Mosul crisis and the August Sinjar offensive. More than 83% of all IDPs in the governorate who arrived during 2014 were from Anbar, Salah al-Din, Diyala and Ninewa governorates7. The governorate is considered to be a safe haven for IDPs8.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment12 carried by IOM’s field teams, most IDPs reported that the reason of displacement to Sulaymaniyah was armed conflict, while a smaller number reported it was losing a family member in the generalized violence in their areas of origin. A majority of IDPs stated their intentions to return to their areas of origin in the long term, while in the short term they wish to integrate in their current locations. IDPs in Sulaymaniyah are aware of humanitarian assistance, but some said they lack information on food and non-food items/NFI distribution and on

Food security, shelter, services and needs12 The Sulaymaniyah location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and early February 2016; 252 locations where a total of 27,117 families live were assessed. The main findings are:17 Sixty-four per cent (64%) of IDPs reported access to income is the first urgent need, food is the second urgent need (22%), while shelter is reported to be the third urgent need for IDPs in the Sulaymaniyah governorate18. Lack of job opportunities was the main concern related to access to income, and most IDPs said that high prices is the main issue with food and non-food items/NFI. In terms of services, approximately 90% of all IDPs reported having access to sanitation and hygiene services, and 83% stated they have no issues with health services. Moreover, 67% reported that they have access to education services, and 18% indicated that education materials are expensive.

The security situation is generally stable in Sulaymaniyah. There have been very few security incidents, among which a shooting at the Kurdistan Democratic Party (KDP) Leadership Council, and a fight at Chavy Land Amusement Park during the Newroz festivities, which damaged the park’s facilities. The governorate also witnessed several demonstrations demanding the government to pay the civil servants’ salaries and to provide better water services. Moreover, Turkish air forces occasionally bombard Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) locations. No informal patrolling is recorded and no groups are under threat. Assayish and the Police maintain security, and the majority of IDPs (99.2%) feel safe in the governorate15.

According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps in October 2015, 74% of households in Sulaymaniyah reported they were unable to access the Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement but this figure decreased to 48% in June 201619.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs The plains of Sharazur and Bitwen are considered to be the most fertile in the Middle East. Sulaymaniyah is one of the main agricultural producers and core suppliers of wheat in Iraq. Other crops include grains, trees, fruits, and sugar beets. The governorate is home to many small factories, mostly of building materials. The tourism industry is significant, as the governorate hosts many archaeological sites that are thousands of years old. Sulaymaniyahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s economy benefits from its ample water supplies, favorable climate and stable security situation20. IDPs are permitted to work in the governorate and common jobs include shop keeping, barbering and construction. Some work in the private sector or in humanitarian organizations. Generally, IDPs and governorate residents receive equal salaries21. Around 23% of IDPs in Sulaymaniyah perform skilled labor as their primary source of livelihood, 13% are civil servants, 12% perform skilled service labor, and 24% do not have a primary source of income22. Others depend on different sources23.

Its community members have varying levels of education but there are few job opportunities. Bakrajoy has a tradition of welcoming displaced populations: it received IDPs from Kirkuk and Erbil in 2003 during the internal strife in KRG —back then UN Habitat built 512 housing units— and after 2003, it received IDPs from Baghdad and Diyala who were fleeing ethnic violence.

Bakrajo Health Center is an old and small center that does not meet the population’s needs. It is open to the public between 8 a.m. and noon, and is private in the afternoons. It has an ambulance and limited capabilities for emergency cases. It does not have enough space in the emergency room, nor enough staff. Reportedly, 7 out of 18 nurses who worked in this center recently left to work in a hospital in Sulaymaniyah. The surgery room closed due to lack of budget. This center does not have a psychosocial support unit, dental equipment or medicines. In recent years, USAID hosted medical trainings for the healthcare employees.

Community Overview Handreen is a semi urban area with poor infrastructure; water is the community’s biggest problem. Most community members have completed their education and are daily paid workers. Handreen was one of the camps established by Saddam Hussein’s regime in the 90s for the displaced Kurdish families. This community was a destination for IDPs because it is on a major highway. Some lands were donated to recent Yazidi IDPs, but the community perceived that this led to higher rents and lower wages. However, these new IDPs also brought in new ideas and business activities.

The Health Care Center needs more medicines and supplies, specifically ECG paper, medicines for hypertension and chronic illnesses such as diabetes, and antibiotics. The demand for medication has increased by an estimated 9% since the arrival of the IDPs. The building is old and needs to be rehabilitated and cleaned, especially the bathrooms, which have limited running water. The ultrasound machine is only partially functional and needs a specialist to assess and repair it. Many of the health issues are reportedly related to bad water (diarrhea, stomach illnesses and urinary tract infections). The Jiyar Foundation for Human Rights is funding mobile clinics; it also supplements the doctors’ salaries, delivers training on women’s health, and has recently established a safe house for Yazidi rape victims in Chamchamal.

Community Overview Andazyaran is a semi urban area built in 2004 for displaced families from Baghdad. The KRG ceded them land and aid organizations provided assistance to build houses. In general, the community has a good infrastructure; its residents have varying education levels. The host community in Andazyaran is familiar with displacement, and this is probably why they were particularly helpful with the displaced families from Anbar and Diyala.

Thi-qar GOVERNORATE PROFILE

IOM - Iraq

Overview1 Thi-Qar, in southeastern Iraq, shares domestic borders with Basra, Muthanna, Qadissiya, Wassit and Missan governorates, and is crossed by the Euphrates River. In the 1980s, the Government drained its marshes, severely damaging its economy, and since that time Thi-Qar is considered the poorest governorate in the country. The area has hot and dry summers, and precipitation is low and limited to the winter months.

Demographics2 THI-QAR As of 15 September, 2016

AREA 12,900 KM2

Shi’a Arabs are the largest ethno-religious group in Thi-Qar, but there is also a Sunni minority and smaller communities of Assyrian and Chaldean Christians and Mandeans. Calls for regional autonomy have been heard in Thi-Qar, but never reached critical momentum. The governorate was spared the Islamic State in Iraq and Levant (ISIL) conquests, which swept large parts of northwestern Iraq in 2014.

The population is estimated to be 2,127,307 and its area covers 12,900 square kilometers, that is, almost 3% of Iraq. The gender distribution is nearly even, with 50.3% males and 49.7% females. Approximately, 62.9% of the governorate is urban and 37.1% is rural. Nassriya is the most populous district (37%), followed by al-Shatra and al-Rifa’I, (respectively 21% and 22%).

Thi-Qar has not been directly affected by recent crises; the influx of IDPs is due to the security situation in other governorates. The first displacement wave to Thi-Qar took place between January and July 2014 because of the Anbar crisis. With the capture of Mosul and Tikrit in June 2014, many families sought refuge in the governorate5.

Total: 1,477

400

As of 15 September, 2016, a total of 1,477 displaced families (8,862 individuals3) had been identified in Thi-Qar; of these, 969 IDP families are from Ninewa4.

The main factors that attract IDPs to Thi-Qar are the stable security situation and the inexpensive cost of living; the main reason for leaving the governorate is search for employment. The Ministry of Migration and displacement (MoMD), Thi-Qar branch, registers IDPs in accordance with its regulations6.

According to information collected through the Location Assessment carried by IOM’s field teams, the IDPs’ main reason for displacement is reported to be armed conflict, and a smaller number indicated that their displacement was due to losing a family member in the generalized violence. Most IDPs express their intention to return to their areas of origin. More than half of IDPs in Thi-Qar stated they lack information on food distribution assistance, and around one fourth said they did not have information on resettlement and migration options8.

sEcuRITy9 Despite incidents of vehicle-borne improvised explosive devices and suicide bombings in the governorate, the security situation is generally stable. To prevent further security incidents, Thi-Qar’s police has launched frequent patrols to arrest suspects. The police and the army maintain security in the governorate and no informal patrols have been reported. Generally, no specific groups are under threat, and IDPs generally report feeling safe10.

mOVEmENT AND AccEss Thi-Qar is a safe place for IDPs. When they enter the governorate, IDP families are required to have a guarantor and can move freely; all areas are accessible to IDPs and governorate residents.

Food security, shelter, services and needs11 The Thi-Qar location assessment was carried out between 15 October 2015 and February 2016; 80 locations where 1,509 families live were assessed. Some of the assessment’s main findings are: About 93% of IDPs indicated that shelter or housing is the first urgent need; access to income ranked second (6%), while potable water is the third urgent need (1%).12 The main challenge with shelter or housing is high prices, and 80% reported job opportunities to be insufficient. In terms of services, 69% of IDPs stated they had no issues with education and healthcare services and 82% reported they faced no problems with sanitation and hygiene services.

IOM - Iraq

SOCIO-ECONOMIC cONDITIONs Thi-Qar is one of the least developed governorates in Iraq; its economy is based on agriculture and includes production of dates and grains, horticulture, aquaculture and livestock breeding. Despite the impact of the marshes being drained in the 1980’s, fishing and rice cultivation still provide livelihoods for many in the governorate14. In 2016, efforts were made to improve Thi-Qar’s socio-economic conditions. The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (MoLSA) approved 23 financial loans for small projects—between seven and ten million Iraqi Dinars (approximately USD 6,000 to 8,5000)— and Thi-Qar’s Agricultural Directorate spread two million fish fingerlings in the marshes to support the fishing industry. Over 2,000 residential plots were allocated to families of martyrs, and the opening of an asphalt factory is expected to create additional job opportunities in the governorate15. Although 79% of IDPs in Thi-Qar reported that job opportunities are insufficient, some work for daily wages to cover for their families’ needs16. Generally, IDPs and host community members receive equal salaries. The most common forms of employment for IDPs in Thi-Qar are working in shops, restaurants, sweets and pastry factories and electrical shops, and barbering. Around 50% of IDPs in the governorate rely on agricultural labor as their primary source of livelihood, 21% rely on government pensions and 14% are civil servants17. Others depend on different sources18. A three-billion-dollar oil refinery contract was signed in Thi-Qar in early 2015, which is expected to contribute to economic activity and provide more job opportunities19.

According to the multi-cluster needs assessment for IDPs outside camps, in October 2015, 13% of the households in ThiQar reported that they were unable to access Public Distribution System (PDS) assistance since their displacement, but this figure decreased to 4% in June 201613.

Community Overview The area is rural and close to the district center. This community lacks services such as paved roads, sewage, landfills, municipal services and drinking water. It attracts displaced people because rent prices are low and the HC is assisting IDPs with housing. The 2014-2015 IDPs are either living with host families or in rented houses. Half are from Ninewa and the rest from the other central governorates.
