General context of the project

INTERSOS has been present in Iraq since 2003 and currently operates in the governorates of Ninewa, Salah Al Din (SAD), Erbil and Sulaymaniyah.

The INTERSOS coordination office is located in Erbil, with bases in Tikrit, Mosul, Telafar and Sulaymaniyah and a programming presence in other areas of Ninewa, SAD, and the Kurdistan Region. Mid-2023, INTERSOS Iraq had more than 240 national staff, 16 expatriates, and 200 volunteers. Applying an integrated programmatic approach, INTERSOS provides life-saving services and supports durable solutions for women, men, girls and boys in the displaced, refugee, and host communities in its focus areas. In the protection sector, INTERSOS is a major player in Iraq and provides a comprehensive package of protection services both inside and outside the camps. Services include monitoring the rotection (reporting to UNHCR and the protection cluster on the most pressing protection issues and trends in protection, including beneficiary profiling and direct referral to specialized services), MHPSS, case management cases (for GBV, child protection, and PwSNs) and legal assistance, counseling, and representation in court.
