HIGHLIGHT

The Shelter Cluster strategy will increase the health, dignity, and safety of the highly vulnerable conflict-afected women, girls, boys, and men throughout Iraq.

Partners will target 1.88 million beneficiaries including 312,000 newly displaced or in secondary displacement; 958,000 IDPs; 49,000 returnees; 438,000 highly vulnerable people not adequately covered by social protection systems; 121,740 non-displaced in newly accessible areas. Priority will be given to those in critical shelter and NFI needs (e.g. camps, collective centres, unfinished and abandoned buildings, informal settlements, etc.).

In order to achieve its aim, partners will work to improve the living conditions of the targeted population through tailored shelter and NFI assistance appropriate to each phase of the humanitarian response from emergency (e.g. tent/NFI provision) through protracted displacement and transitional support (e.g. camp maintenance, shelter upgrades) towards durable solutions (e.g. shelter/NFI assistance in areas of return). Particular attention will be given to the needs of people in relation to the harsh climatic conditions. The targeted population will be assisted with modalities that best meet their needs. Cash-based interventions will expand where possible and appropriate.
