Mercy Hands: NFI distribution in Sinjar informal sites, Ninewa – March 2022

Highlights

The Humanitarian Country Team (HCT) decided to formally end all Clusters by the end of 2022 and not to present an HRP in 2023, but only a light strategic document presenting the remaining humanitarian needs (without funding requirements, not targets) as well as a document on the transition to development interventions. This decision is in line with the UN move towards transferring core humanitarian delivery functions to other structures of leadership (government and development partners).

The Shelter/NFI cluster, in line with the HCT decision, started already to work on a Transition roadmap to deactivate the cluster by the end of 2022 and gradually hand over all the cluster functions to the Government or alternative counterparts.

Need analysis

As per the IOM-led DTM report, 1.18 million IDPs and 4.97 million Returnees have been identified across the country, from Jan 2014 to Jun 2022.

The number of IDPs continues to decrease (from 2.6 million as of Dec 2017 to 1.18 million as of Jun. 2022); while the numbers of returnees has increased (from 3.2 million, end of Dec.2017 to 4.97 million, end of Jun. 2022).

  • 15% of those IDPs are in camps, while 76% are currently in private settings (in rented accommodation or with host families); 9% remain in critical shelter arrangements (unfinished/abandoned building; school/religious buildings and informal settlements).
  • 95% of the returnees are in their habitual residence, 1% in private settings while 4% live in critical shelter arrangement such as informal settlements, unfinished and abandoned buildings, schools, religious structures.

  • Partners’ presence: some partners in the central and south area stopped their activities due to a lack of funding which affects the delivery of assistance to people in need.
  • Access constraints: Partners have reported number of checkpoints requiring additional approvals from military commanders and to report their activities to authorities through unauthorized channels. Coordination with OCHA in country is ongoing to resolve those
  • Funding limitation continues to greatly hamper partners’ response /implementation of identified activities.
