Japan Platform Project - Phase 5
Project Snapshot
Project Start Date: 1 Oct 2021
Duration: 10 Months
Direct Beneficiaries: 2,130 IDPs, Returnees and Host Communities
Location: West Mosul in Ninewa Governorate, Iraq
Funded by: Japan Platform
ABOUT THE PROJECT
As the largest destination for internally displaced people, West Mosul's infrastructure continues to be insufficient to the needs of the population, especially as a lot of it was damaged during the conflict. In addition, West Mosul is one of the most impacted districts by COVID-19. The dual impact of war and COVID-19 has negatively affected thousands of children who are stressed and in need of support. The grant from the Japan Platform will help us contribute to the healthy growth of children in western Mosul by implementing child protection and water, sanitation and hygiene activities in communities and schools and addressing the psychological impact of conflict, violence, and poverty on children.
