Iraq 2010 Humanitarian
Action Plan |
| |
|
1. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The 2010 Iraq Humanitarian Action Plan (IHAP) is a continuation of the inter-agency consolidated appeal process launched for Iraq in 2008 and expanded to Iraq and the Region in 2009. The 2010 IHAP is a joint humanitarian strategy for Iraq in 2010. It is not characterised as a consolidated appeal per se, in that it is not accompanied by detailed project proposals (although it is intended to facilitate fund-raising for humanitarian operations in the country).
The humanitarian situation in Iraq at the beginning of 2010 is projected to be in transition, situated between crisis and recovery. Decreasing levels of violence, improved government capacity and lack of new displacement have contributed to a gradual stabilisation of the humanitarian situation. However, these improvements could unravel should the security or political situation in the country deteriorate in 2010 or in the event of a disease outbreak (such as H1N1 or cholera) or a natural disaster. Therefore, the UN and NGO humanitarian agencies should maintain their response capacity to both human-made and natural disasters. This response capacity should also extend to supporting the Government of Iraq in implementing preventive measures such as disaster risk reduction initiatives.

Disaster Risk Reduction/Emergency Preparedness Planning and Response Capacity
Support to the Government of Iraq ((GoI) |
| |
|
Updated: Nov 18, 2009
Iraq faces serious challenges in coping with disaster risk reduction in relation to natural disasters such as floods, earthquakes, landslides, drought and a plethora of human induced episodes of fire and industrial accidents to toxic pollutants and remnants of war in addition to the spontaneous arrival of refugees from bordering nations. It is within this context that the United Nations, responding to a request from the Government of Iraq, undertook a comprehensive review of existing disaster risk management capacities to assess the level of preparedness and response against both natural and human induced hazards.
The consultancy team collected information to prepare documents on the State of Disaster Risk Reduction in Iraq and a proposed way forward for the Government of Iraq to strengthen national disaster risk reduction at the central, governorate/regional and community levels in Iraq (A Strategic Framework for Natural Disaster and Risk Reduction in Iraq). Finally the Team Leader developed an Action Plan for Implementing Disaster Risk Reduction Initiatives in Iraq that includes recommended capacity building and institutional development support on disaster risk reduction by UNDP, UNOCHA and other members of the UN Country Team.

CAP 2009 mid-year
Report:
The 2009 Consolidated Appeal Process (CAP) for Iraq and the Region aims to meet immediate
humanitarian needs, contribute to stabilization and promote recovery not only within Iraq itself, but
also targeting an estimated 1.7 million Iraqis who found refuge in seven countries across the Middle
East. The appeal comprises two pillars: Pillar I is coordinated by Iraq’s Humanitarian Coordinator and
reflects needs within Iraq; Pillar II is coordinated by the Office of the United Nations High
Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and addresses protection and assistance for Iraqi refugees in
the region, as well as smaller numbers taking refuge further afield. At the time of the Mid-Year Review
(MYR), the appeal is 43% funded, with the funding level for Pillar I (Iraq) averaging 33% and for Pillar
II (Region) amounting to 50% of the total requirements.
