Oxfam GB has presence in Iraq since 2014 in response to ISIS conflict. had a presence in Iraq. Oxfam has been working in Iraq for the last three years in Northern Iraq with a political participation project for gender equality and a legal empowerment/protection project.
Oxfam works with partner organizations and alongside vulnerable women and men to end the injustices that cause poverty. We save lives and help rebuild livelihoods when crisis strikes. e campaign so that the voices of the poor influence the local and global decisions that affect them. In humanitarian work, Oxfam specializes in water, sanitation and hygiene, emergency food security, livelihoods and protection.
In Iraq Oxfam-s programme was established in 2014 in response to the ISIS conflict in Iraq. Oxfam has been implementing activities during the past few years around the delivery of 3 main areas: A) Lifesaving humanitarian assistance b) Recovery assistance, and C) Promotion of Women Rights.
1. Lifesaving humanitarian assistance: to newly displaced populations residing in camps or host communities. The bulk of this work was done around the various governorates of Iraq including Kalar, Kirkuk, Ninewa, and Erbil. Activities included: Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance, food vouchers, Establishment/rehabilitation of safe water (boreholes, repair of infrastructure); Emergency water supply (distribution of water through trucking and bottled water); Setting up water tanks and networks in camps; Distribution of hygiene items; construction of latrines; Cash for Work opportunities inside the camps to allow construction work and solid waste management; and Distribution of emergency winterisation kits.

The main activities implemented under this area of work included: Rehabilitation of water infrastructure; Supporting local authorities to rehabilitate essential public services (schools and hospitals); Grants to returnees to recover damaged businesses; Provision of livestock to support farmers; Cash for Work opportunities contributing to income for vulnerable families and supporting rehabilitation of infrastructure of public interest (irrigation canals, main roads).
3. Promotion of Women Rights: through contributing to the implementation of the National Plan for 1325 UN Resolution, and economic empowerment of women through provision of training and grants to establish/rehabilitate businesses.
BACKGROUD:
Building Resilient Communities in Salahuddin project aim to transition Salahaddin from humanitarian and emergency response to recovery phase. Displaced people during the ISIS conflict are returning to Salahaddin. Although people in Salahaddin remain the focus of humanitarian assistance for 2019 because they have experienced the impact of the direct military operations, more support must be provided at the district level of the governorate. The project will also support BMZ-s strategic activity to generate employment opportunities in the communities receiving returnees. Building Resilient Communities in Salahaddin, will support BMZ-s strategy to address the structural causes of the crisis. The project will strengthen capacities of various national and local actors including sub-national ministries and level of government.
Also, the project is intending to strengthen the capacity of 4 local humanitarian actors civil society organisations and 4 government departments to implement projects and respond to emergencies independently by the end of the project.
Oxfam has been investing in strengthening capacity of local humanitarian actors, Oxfam-s framework to strengthen local humanitarian leadership is built on four pillars 1. Strengthening and building capacities of local actors: local humanitarian actors have the capacity to deliver humanitarian response, through organizational (including systems, management, standards and mission) and leadership capacity (including the ability to mobilize stakeholders together and create synergy). 2. Voice of local humanitarian actors: Local humanitarian actors exercise leadership by influencing or having power over the humanitarian priorities in their country through their participation, advocacy, and relationships. 3. Space for local humanitarian actors: Key stakeholders in the humanitarian system recognize and trust in the leadership and capacities of local actors and support an enabling environment for their leadership in preparedness and response (including access to: greater direct and indirect funding, equitable partnerships, technical expertise, political space to operate, information, and decision making spaces). In this project Oxfam is planning to support the selected local actors to taking more leading role in changing the humanitarian structure/system at Salahuddin governorates where local government institutions and local humanitarian organizations will be leading and shaping humanitarian response in the future. To do so Oxfam will be facilitating the process for the identified local actors to conduct locally led context analysis and assessing existing local humanitarian capacities.
At this stage Oxfam would like to support the selected local actor to carry out a collective joint context analysis through using Oxfam-s tools of Vulnerability Risk Analysis (VRA). The exercise will support the local actors in Salahuddin to have a collective understating of different risks and hazards in the areas, factors to vulnerabilities of certain community group, as well as the VRA will support local actors to identify possible opportunities of change.
OBJECTIVE & SCOPE OF THE ASSESSMENT:
Oxfam-s Local Humanitarian Leadership approach and work is very much aligned with the Oxfam Resilient Development, the key components of which are local stakeholders working collaboratively to address risk, fragility and vulnerability with a long-term view and using iterative and adaptive management to ensure it is relevant to the changing context. The VRA is assessment tool to understand the structural causes of vulnerability, the framework emphasizes the need to invest in thorough stakeholder led contextual analysis as the foundation for effective resilient development programming. The VRA is one tool that can be used to understand the drivers of vulnerability.
