Map created 25 June 2015. Situation Overview More than 1,500 families (approximately 9,000 individuals) returned to Tikrit City and surrounding areas between 14 and 23 June, after the area was retaken by Iraqi Security Forces in April, according to the Displacement Tracking Matrix (DTM) of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). Most of those who returned were Government civil servants who were requested to return. Approximately 80 per cent of Government employees have gone back to the area, local authorities report. Returnees reportedly were required to submit to ID checks, body and vehicle searches before being allowed through manned checkpoints. Authorities have reportedly dismantled 1,700 improvised explosive devices (IEDs) and cleared more than 200 booby-trapped houses.

  • Iraq: Women Struggle to Make Ends Meet
    January-February 2011 Iraq: Women struggle to make ends meet THE INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF THE RED CROSS (ICRC) HAS BEEN WORKING IN IRAQ CONTINUOUSLY SINCE 1980 RESPONDING TO THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARMED CONFLICTS Overview A great many women in Iraq are facing challenges in the task of caring for their families, earning income and taking part in community and professional life. Since widespread violence erupted in 2003, they have been increasingly caught in the crossre, killed, wounded or driven from their homes. As their menfolk have been killed or taken way in large numbers, the entire burden of running the household has been suddenly thrust upon them. "Regardless of the circumstance of loss, the mere fact that there is no traditional breadwinner directly aects the family's nancial situation," says Caroline Douilliez, head of the ICRC's Women and War programme in Iraq. "The ICRC's observations across Iraq have led us to the distressing conclusion that the lack of regular and sucient income over the years has cast a huge number of families into severe poverty." According to ICRC estimates, between one and two million households in Iraq today are headed by women. This gure includes women whose husbands are either dead, missing (some since as far back as 1980) or detained. Divorced women are also taken into account. All these women were wives at one point in time, and today remain mothers to their children and daughters to their parents, and sometimes ultimately breadwinners and caregivers for all these people. Without a male relative, they lack economic, physical and social protection and support.

  • Appendix A. Sample Design
    APPENDIX A. SAMPLE DESIGN The sample for the Iraq Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey was designed to provide estimates on a large number of indicators on the situation of children and women at the national level; for areas of residence of Iraq represented by rural and urban (metropolitan and other urban) areas; for the 18 governorates of Iraq; and also for metropolitan, other urban, and rural areas for each governorate. Thus, in total, the sample consists of 56 different sampling domains, that includes 3 sampling domains in each of the 17 governorates outside the capital city Baghdad (namely, a “metropolitan area domain” representing the governorate city centre, an “other urban area domain” representing the urban area outside the governorate city centre, and a “rural area domain”) and 5 sampling domains in Baghdad (namely, 3 metropolitan areas representing “Sadir City”, “Resafa side”, and “Kurkh side”, an other urban area sampling domain representing the urban area outside the three Baghdad governorate city centres, and a sampling domain comprising the rural area of Baghdad). A multi-stage, stratified cluster sampling approach was used for the selection of the survey sample. Sample Size and Sample Allocation The adequate sample size ns for each of the 56 sampling domains, is 324 households. Thus, the target sample size for the Iraq MICS was calculated as 18144 households ( = 56 ns ). The following formula was used to estimate ns Z 2 ⋅ P (1 − P ) ⋅ deff 1−α n = 2 s E 2 where The required sample size for each sampling domains, n = s expressed as the number of households Z1- a /2 = z-value determined by the confidence level = 1.96 for 95% confidence limits deff = design effect = 2 p = The estimate of the proportion = 0.5 (assumed maximum) E = The total width of the expected confidence interval = 0.077 therefore, (1.96) 2 0.5(0.5)2 n = = 324 s (0.077 ) 2 Sample sizes and terms of error for all sampling domains, governorates, and total are shown in Table SD.1.
