FY 2019-20 · 2020-03-10

Summary
January 2020 – there are an estimated 4.1 million Iraqis in need of humanitarian assistance, of which 1.77 million are in acute need. Out of the 6 million displaced people during the conflict against Daesh, more than 1.4 million people remain internally displaced. Those directly affected by the conflict against Daesh, particularly those who were displaced and whose lives and livelihoods were uprooted and destroyed, continue to require humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs.

This intervention aims to reach up to 130,000 individuals.

Description (French)
Janvier 2020 – on estime 4,1 millions le nombre d’Irakiens ayant besoin d’une aide humanitaire, dont 1,77 million en situation de besoin aigu. Sur les 6 millions de personnes déplacées pendant le conflit contre Daech, plus de 1,4 million de personnes restent déplacées à l’intérieur du pays. Les personnes directement touchées par le conflit contre Daech, en particulier celles qui ont été déplacées et dont la vie et les moyens de subsistance ont été détruits, continuent d’avoir besoin d’une aide humanitaire pour satisfaire leurs besoins fondamentaux. Avec le soutien d’AMC, Médecins du monde apporte une réponse globale en matière de soins de santé pour répondre aux besoins immédiats des personnes touchées par le conflit en Irak, notamment les personnes déplacées, les rapatriés et les collectivités d’accueil. Cette intervention vise à atteindre jusqu’à 130 000 personnes. Les activités du projet comprennent : 1) appuyer la fourniture de l’ensemble des services de santé de base, y compris la santé sexuelle et reproductive (SSR) et la santé mentale et le soutien psychosocial (SMSPS); 2) fournir des services médicaux et de SMSPS aux victimes de violence sexiste; 3) fournir un soutien logistique aux centres de soins de santé primaires, y compris de l’équipement et des fournitures essentiels; 4) fournir une formation aux fournisseurs de services de santé nationaux sur l’ensemble des services de santé de base, y compris la SSR, la SMSPS et l’aiguillage; 5) fournir une formation en coordination avec les autorités sanitaires locales sur la prévention et la réponse à la violence sexiste.
Expected Results
The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) increased equitable access of vulnerable populations to comprehensive quality and gender-responsive primary health care (PHC) services; (2) increased equitable access to GBV prevention and response services; and (3) strengthened capacity of local health facilities and health authorities to provide quality PHC and GBV services. The expected ultimate outcome is lives saved, suffering alleviated and human dignity maintained in countries experiencing humanitarian crises or acute food insecurity.
Expected Results (French)
Les résultats escomptés de ce projet comprennent : 1) un accès équitable accru des populations vulnérables à des services de soins de santé primaires (SSP) complets, de qualité et adaptés au genre; 2) un accès équitable accru aux services de prévention et de réponse à la violence sexiste; 3) une capacité renforcée des établissements de santé et des autorités sanitaires locales à fournir des SSP et des services de qualité liés à la violence sexiste. Le résultat ultime escompté est le suivant : vies sauvées, souffrances atténuées et dignité humaine préservée dans des pays où sévit une crise humanitaire ou une insécurité alimentaire grave.
