END OF PROJECT EVALUATION

Project Title: Support to the return process and recovery of conflict-affected populations with specific needs, in Ninewa Governorate.

Implemented in Mosul, Qayarah, Hammam al Alil, Salamiyah camps (Federal Iraq)**

Start Date: 01/04//2019, End Date: 28/02/2021, Duration: 22 months

1. General information:

1.1 . About Humanity & Inclusion

*Our vision:** Outraged at the injustice faced by people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, we aspire to a world of solidarity and inclusion, enriched by our differences, where everyone can live in dignity.

Our mission: HI is an independent and impartial aid organization working in situations of poverty and exclusion, conflict and disaster. We work alongside people with disabilities and vulnerable populations, taking action and bearing witness in order to respond to their essential needs, improve their living conditions and promote respect for their dignity and fundamental rights.**

On its 35th anniversary, Handicap International network changed its name to Humanity & Inclusion.

Our Values: Humanity; Inclusion; Commitment; Integrity**

1.2 About Humanity & Inclusion in the country/region

HI has been registered and operational in Iraq since 1991 and has become a lead implementing agency in the emergency response in the Health and Protection sectors, operating across Ninewa, Kirkuk, Baghdad, Sulemaniyah and Diyala Governorates. Since 2014, HI has scaled up its intervention in Iraq to respond to the humanitarian needs generated by the capture of territory by the IS-group, subsequent military operations and the widespread displacement of Iraqi populations.

In line with HI Iraq’s Operational Strategy for the period 2017-2020, the global objective of HI programming in Iraq is to enhance the protection and resilience of conflict-affected communities in Iraq; an objective achieved through an operational framework of three central pillars:

  1. Arms Risk Reduction: Reduce the impact of the Conventional Weapon (CW) and Improvised Explosive Devices (IED) for conflict-affected populations through Risk Education and land release

  2. Health: Improve access to specific services for the most vulnerable people whose physical and functional and/or psychological integrity is compromised, through the provision of physical rehabilitation and Mental Health/Psychosocial Support (MHPSS) services

  3. Access to Essential Services: Ensure equal access to essential services, protection and basic needs for all conflict-affected populations, including persons with disabilities. These pillars are complemented by three cross-cutting themes: a comprehensive approach to mine action, inclusion mainstreaming, and protection mainstreaming.**

2. Context of the evaluation

2.1 Brief Presentation of Project

The project aims to improve the resilience and physical recovery of conflict-affected populations in Ninewa Governorate, through the provision of direct comprehensive physical and functional rehabilitation services, for persons with injury and physical and functional impairments, in Ninewa camps and community health structures facing barriers to access specialized services. The goal is to reduce the risk of long term physical impairment of vulnerable populations, through direct provision of comprehensive rehabilitation services and by supporting strengthening local capacities to deliver comprehensive rehabilitation services.

As a continuation of HI’s rehabilitation response at healthcare facilities in and around Mosul, as well as earlier work in trauma post-operative care coordination, funded under the 2017 and 2018 ECHO action. HI’s presence in the governorate since the 2016 emergency operations, treating, referring, and providing case management support to persons with injuries, and through more recent (2018) liaison and support to DoH Health rehabilitation structures in the area (notably Mosul Rehabilitation Centre and Ibn Sina Hospital), HI teams have an in-depth understanding of the healthcare landscape and the gaps in the response.

Accordingly, Handicap International is coordinating closely with other health actors such as MSF France, MSF Belgium, International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Emergency NGO, the WHO and the Ninewa Directorate of Health to ensure that Hl’s work at hospital level is positioned alongside other health services. As well, HI is working in formal partnership with the Mine Action Group (MAG) and Norwegian People’s Aid (NPA) to ensure in-depth and accessible service mapping for victims of conflict in Ninewa and the improved data collection of incidents of injury due to IED/ERW, to help reduce the risk of physical and psychological harm to people living in conflict areas.

Further to this, this action was built upon HI’s response to raising the level of awareness and promoting safe behaviors of the most at-risk groups regarding the threat posed by Explosive Ordnance (EO) including IED contamination.

NOTE: Detailed Logical Framework and narrative project documents will be shared upon final selection.

2.2 Implementation Context:

Iraq’s humanitarian situation is characterized by violent conflict, large-scale internal displacement and overwhelming protection needs. The Humanitarian Response Plan for Iraq 2018 highlighted the scale and pace of the displacement in Iraq has made it one of the largest and most volatile in the world. Intense clashes between Islamic State (IS) Group and Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), supported by coalition forces and ongoing conflict throughout Iraq has displaced millions. Over 1.8 million people remain internally displaced in Iraq, 576,030 of which are in Ninewa governorate, with over four million returnees (IOM, December 2018). The 2019 Humanitarian Needs Overview highlights there are 6.7 million people in need in Iraq.

The military operations to take Mosul city between October 2016 and July 2017 resulted in more than 21,000 injured people treated through trauma referral pathways. Traumatic injuries included large numbers of burn, spinal cord, severe orthopedic and neurological injuries. Blast and fragmentation injuries caused by explosive hazards, burns, and neurological injuries often required long hospital stays and multiple surgeries. Studies have reported that high percentages (as high as 70%) of survivors of explosive hazard related incidents require amputation. Explosives Hazards have continued to cause widespread injury and death. In 2018, 24.2% (411) of HI beneficiaries had injuries caused by IED, mines, bombing, or ERW (20.01% or 751 beneficiaries since December 2016). Other indicators of trauma include 6% of HI beneficiaries since December 2016 have suffered from burns (121 beneficiaries in 2018); 15% have had an amputation (394 beneficiaries in 2018), and 20% have had a fracture(s) (298 beneficiaries in 2018). According to the MRC database, 4,493 amputees are living Ninewa, of which 668 are victims of the improvised explosive devices, mines and booby traps left behind as a result of the major military campaigns and the withdrawal of various armed groups (OCHA, HNO, November 2018).

Persons that sustained severe injury during the conflict and those suffering from psychological distress will continue to require support to recuperate, and the decline of the DoH Ninewa capacity to address rehabilitation needs in Mosul is exacerbated by the low technical training capacity in Iraq and budgetary shortfalls. The Ministry of Health (MoH) delivers healthcare services in Iraq through a network of Primary Healthcare Centres (PHCCs), sub-centres, and district and general hospitals spread across 118 health districts. Since 2014, however, the quality and coverage of services has steeply deteriorated across Iraq, especially in Ninewa. The presence of IS-group and subsequent battle to retake the city has left the health infrastructure in a state of destruction, which despite one year of investment continues to be largely un-operational, or working in a reconstructed temporary set-up using caravans. According to the MoH 32% of hospitals and 14% of PHCCs in Ninewa remain destroyed (OCHA, HNO, November 2018). Meanwhile, the healthcare system and services in general, remains weakened from lack of suitably skilled medical personnel, equipment, and other consumables.

Physical rehabilitation needs were high well before the conflict with IS group; with an estimated 15% of Iraqi’s living with a disability, in 2014 (UNAMI/OCHA Report on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Iraq. December 2016). Meanwhile, Hasansham and Khazer IDP camps, showed this rate to have increased to at least 17% (HI Disability Study (Norwegian Mofa) February 2018). Moreover, prior to the conflict, Iraq faced a shortage of physical rehabilitation facilities, reported at only 28 in total and all located in provincial capitals, as well as of mental health services, reported at 0.11 outpatient facilities per 100,000 people. Therefore, the system is even further burdened with the newly injured.

The 2014 presence of IS-group, subsequent battle to retake areas from IS group, and the lasting economic crisis across Iraq, particularly in KRI (including areas of Ninewa formerly controlled by KRG) worsened the already complicated needs of vulnerable persons in Iraq. The resulting consequences are that:

  • There is a massive increase of people with new disabilities as a result of injury;

  • Poor living conditions increased the rate of non-communicable disease which has led to increased health burden and complications

  • Higher rates of children being born with complex needs due to the lack of quality reproductive health services and maternity care (WHO Iraq: Quality of Care – June 2018 – Phase 1) and the heightened stress of mothers living through traumatic situations (stressful environment)

Continued high prevalence of trauma patients and victims of conflict combined with access barriers faced by IDPs and communities highlight the ongoing need for early rehabilitation, physical and functional rehabilitation follow-up. Without adequate rehabilitation support, the injuries reported above can become leading causes of morbidities, disabilities, and avoidable chronic pain.

Ninewa governorate has over 1.8 million returnees and 298.233[1] displaced the highest concentration of returnee and displacement in Iraq (IOM displacement matrix). Populations are living in and returning to contaminated areas, and are facing unprecedented risks from EO including IEDs. The context is changing quickly with government-led camp consolidation and closure processes, increasing the risk of secondary displacement or early returns to locations that are heavily contaminated with EO. While the camp consolidation and closure process is underway, it is recognised that not all families will return home. At camp level, Ninewa authorities have implemented phase one of camps closure late 2019, closing Jadaa 6, Haj Ali and Nimrud camps. According to camp management, the preliminary analysis indicated that 75% of the IDPs either went back to their areas of origin or relocated to the Erbil camps and only 25% moved to Jada’ah 5. Then, consolidation and closure process included consolidation of Salamiyah 1 and 2 as well as Jada’ah 2 and 3 into Jada’ah 1 then closing of Qayarra Airstrip. Further to this Jada’ah 4 and 5 were consolidated into Jadaa 5.

In March 2020, COVID-19 pandemic impacted the humanitarian context in Iraq; imposed lock-down and access restrictions presented challenges for the humanitarian actors. Activities implementation and service delivery were affected directly, as most of the activities were suspended, scaled down or modified to adapt that period.

The camps closure process was interrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic and the emerged humanitarian needs in the camps. In November 2020, authorities resumed camps closure process to include all Ninewa camps. By mid of November, several camps were closed, including Hammam Al- Aleel and Jadaa 1. Closing the camps with no defined return plans, raised several protection concern for the families; families with perceived affiliation with extremist groups faced several challenges during at the check-points, social cohesion issues with the host community and not feeling welcomed in the community. For now, the process was put on hold and MoMD Representative announced no family will be force to leave the camps and they will support voluntary return.
