Non-Food Items (NFI) & Hygiene Kit Technical Guidance V11 – February 2017

INTRODUCTION

This document provides advice to agencies delivering Non-Food Item (NFI) programming in Iraq to support conflict-affected families with individual and general household support items to preserve health, safety, dignity and well-being. The basis of this document’s recommendations is on a family consisting of 6 persons. Partners should tailor packages (both in type and quantity of items) based on needs and anticipated family size if the rationale of 6 persons per household is not deemed appropriate. The focus of the items and kits described in this guidance document are general household and personal support items, and not household shelter construction support items. Household shelter construction support items, including Emergency Shelter Kits (ESK) and Emergency Sealing-Off Kits (ESOK), are described in other Shelter and NFI Cluster guidance.

A primary principle is to ensure that the quality of items meets needs adequately, is fit for purpose, and does not pose a risk to users. Shelter Cluster Iraq strongly recommends agencies accompany distributions with clear guidance and/or training to ensure the safe and proper usage of items, and the avoidance of injury or risk.

Suggested cost for kits are included in this guidance to encourage equitability of assistance between agencies and across different geographic locations. They are based on estimate market costs1 (as of October 2016) for items meeting basic needs and for conducting household activities (e.g. cooking, eating, sleeping). Example specifications have been provided as a guide to quality and standards for items. The contents of kits should meet the minimum requirements set out below and be based on needs identified through assessment.

This document should be read in conjunction with the overall Shelter/NFI Cluster Strategy and other technical guidance published by the Shelter/NFI Cluster2 including: - Climatisation and Seasonal Support Guidance - Emergency Shelter Kits (MESK / BESK) - Emergency Sealing-Off Kits (ESOK) - Cash and Shelter guidance

1 Market costs are approximate prices based on averages provided by cluster partners, and do not reflect bulk procurement costs nor include warehousing, storage and distribution, 2 These documents can be found here: https://www.sheltercluster.org/library/technical-support-and-design Page 1 of 39 NFI Technical Guidance v11 – February 2017

SUMMARY OF CORE, SEASONAL AND WASH NFI KITS

1) Kit reporting threshold – What are the minimum contents of “one kit”? 2) Procurement Value – How much should one kit cost? 3) Anticipated use – What kit should be provided where?

Detailed kit lists and reporting In each , the provision of kits will depend on safety and access to affected populations, as well as settlement typology and intentions. Prior consultation and approval for kits and distributions from local authorities and communities is strongly 20161117_Summary recommended. of NFI Kit Assistance.xlsxThe tables below set out which kits should be reported to which clusters and what the thresholds are for reporting a kit. Reporting needs to take into account the type of distribution [a) to newly arrived or b) for replenishment] to avoid double counting. Hygiene kits distributed as part of Basic NFI Kits (including Winter / Summer NFI Kits) reported to the Shelter Cluster will be reported to the WASH Cluster by the Cluster IMO.

NOTE ON SHELTER-RELATED NFIs Certain NFIs may be used to insulate tents and shelters against the cold, but will not be appropriate in all situations. Where feasible, tent liners may be considered part of a Winter Top-Up for families residing in a standard UNHCR Family Tent. This inner liner is designed to fit together, in particular to the attachment points of the liner, and may include an inner partition. Care should be taken to ensure coordination with UNHCR and other tent providers to ensure tent liners match the specifications and design of shelters. For more information, see: http://www.unhcr.org/53fc7fec9.pdf

In past years in Iraq, Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) has been distributed as an NFI as part of tent / shelter insulation activities. However, due to the requirement for a higher level of guidance and supervision in the appropriate use of this material, it is not recommended to be included as a standard item of winter NFI support. However, it continues to be relevant as part of shelter improvement activities (including winter shelter insulation). This requires a more coherent and comprehensive modality of implementation compared to NFI distributions, to ensure that insulation materials are properly, effectively and safely employed. Shelter Cluster Iraq should be consulted on any proposed use of XPS in winter strategies.

The definition of a standardized, cluster-agreed hygiene kit is being prioritized. As a minimum, and in line with cluster minimum standards, distribution of a basic hygiene kit, containing consumables such as bathing soap, laundry soap and female sanitary napkins, and non-consumables such as towels, tooth brushes and washing lines, is recommended by the WASH cluster to ensure basic hygiene and dignity of affected populations. The Simplified Basic Kit (A) can be considered to ensure initial, rapid provision of critical hygiene items, on an emergency basis, in a situation where no other hygiene assistance has been provided or where access and resources are limited. The Basic Hygiene Kit (B) and Water Kit (E) should be provided as standard for all 1st and 2nd line responses, while the other kits (C, D, F, G) should be provided based on specific need of families, and time of year.

WATER HEATERS Supplementary materials for 1 family for winterization Water heaters are included as an NFI as an item that can be purchased and distributed to households as part of seasonal support during the cold months. However, technical input will be required during installation, and they may be included in shelter upgrading activities.

Water heaters are important from a health perspective – avoiding bathing due to cold weather could increase the risk of disease due to poor personal hygiene. Given the high safety risks, locally-made immersion water heaters, and kerosene heaters are not recommended for use. Solar or wall mounted electrical installations are recommended if deemed necessary. Any installations must be undertaken in consultation with Shelter-NFI and CCCM Cluster/partners, and any relevant camp administration or management structures.

DIGNITY KITS The purpose of Dignity Kits is to promote mobility and safety of women and girls by providing age, gender and culturally appropriate items in addition to basic sanitary and hygiene items. The items should be tailored to form an appropriate kit through consultation with affected populations and target groups, in order to provide supplementary materials for individuals and families with assessed and identified specific needs. In the design of kits and specifications, guidance should be sought from different Clusters (such as Shelter, WASH, Health and Protection) to ensure contents and quality match needs, to ensure appropriate targeting and means of distribution. Dignity Kits are cross-sector in nature, and thus may not necessarily fall under the remit of the Shelter-NFI Cluster or partners (including for reporting purposes). The table below gives an example of Dignity Kits distributed3 during the 2016 Mosul Response. Other items may be included.

ANNEX 6 PERSONAL NFIs – CLOTHING Back to start Thermal comfort, protection from the effects of the climate and personal safety and dignity are achieved by meeting a combination of needs at the level of the individuals themselves, the covered space they inhabit and the location in which their covered area is situated. Clothing therefore forms an important “first layer” of personal NFI provision particularly to keep warm in winter, and accompanies blankets and bedding for the individual as well as other shelter-level items which mitigate the effect of cold temperatures on the body (such as floor insulation through carpets). The following table provides an example of clothing items that have been distributed in Iraq from 2014 to 2016. Other items may be included, such as summer specific items or items relating to dignity or cultural appropriateness. Due to the variability in size and style, the use of cash or vouchers may be the most appropriate modality of implementation, where feasible. Family clothing kits, comprised of standard items, may also be considered. Clothing may be highly appropriate for families on the move or in areas of transit due to its portability.

ANNEX 7 GUIDANCE ON COOKERS/STOVES AND HEATERS Back to start

General principles It is necessary to consider fuel storage safety as well as considering safety in terms of fire prevention and general use of cookers/stoves and heaters. Safety considerations may include (in coordination with local authorities and CCCM actors): - Clear or stickers for jerry cans to ensure fuel is not mistaken for water. - Fire safety and fire-fighting guidance posters, IEC material, and training on use of stoves, heaters and storage of fuel. - Inclusion of fire extinguishers, fire blankets, smoke alarms and other equipment to households / settlements as part of distributions. - Training in fire prevention and fire-fighting methods. - Support to identify a good location for heating / cooking units and guidance in safe and appropriate use (including consideration of ventilation).

Care must be taken to assess beneficiaries’ ability to source fuel and undertake repair, operation and maintenance activities on stoves or heaters. In some locations, gas or kerosene may not be available or may be in limited/restricted supply, so selection of appropriate stove or heating mechanisms is important to ensure the effectiveness of household assistance over a longer period of time. Where possible, cash equivalents may be considered.

The Shelter-NFI Cluster does not encourage agencies to support displaced families with fuel because of variable agency capacity leading to inconsistent assistance, poor sustainability in a protracted crisis, and the difficulty of justifying funding fuel subsidies to a hydrocarbon fuel- producing country where, for example, the state has a primary duty. Nevertheless, due to the difficult economic situation faced in Iraq and KRI currently, the ability of duty bearers to support displaced populations in this regard may be weak. It is recommended that agencies confirm access and sources of fuel for any heating or cooking stoves provided as NFIs in advance of distributions, for which concerted advocacy and coordination with authorities and other partners may be necessary.

Acute Respiratory Infections (ARIs) are common during winter when shelters are more sealed from moisture and cold draughts. Care should be taken when distributing Cookers/Stoves and Heaters that families have sufficient options to ensure proper ventilation of the shelter.

Agencies should take note of the difference between Cooking Stoves and (Space) Heaters, as outlined below. While beneficiary families have been known to use stoves / heaters for both cooking and heating purposes, they should only be used for the designed purpose in order not to pose a health and safety risk. This should guide the design of kits or top up distributions, and should be clearly communicated to beneficiary households upon receipt of items through training and guidance in safe and proper usage.

Page 35 of 39 NFI Technical Guidance v11 – February 2017

COOKING Families in both camp and out-of-camp settings may not have access to cooking facilities. The Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM) provides ready- to-eat food which does not require cooking. However, it is important that cooking facilities are available as soon as possible to allow other types of food to be delivered by the Food Security cluster. Where family or communal kitchens (with stoves) are not available then consideration should be given to the provision of cooking stoves in order to support families with the preparation of food and water heating.

When choosing between Kerosene and Gas Cooking Stoves the following should be considered: 1. There is a general preference to cooking on gas stoves, because the kerosene from kerosene stoves is thought to leave a smell and taste on food. 2. If providing gas cooking stoves beneficiary families may need to purchase a gas canister if this is not distributed as well, which can be an expensive initial purchase (up to 50,000 IQD / $40 - $50). This can be a barrier to the gas cooking stove being used. 3. Cooking with gas is known to be cheaper than kerosene in the long run. Refilling gas canisters may be possible if access to markets exist. 4. There have been reports of both children and adults consuming kerosene (mistaking it for water) because of unclear labelling or poor storage. 5. Kerosene stoves are known to become clogged fairly quickly if poor quality fuel is used, and may lead to the items requiring maintenance. 6. For more information please see the ‘2017.01.15 Kerosene-LPG Gas Cooking Stove Information Note v01’ available on cluster website. 7. For information on kerosene and gas storage and handling please see: https://www.sheltercluster.org/iraq/documents/resources-kerosene-and- propane-handling-storage

(SPACE) HEATING

Heaters may be provided as part of a winter NFI Kit, allowing internal spaces within shelters to be warmed. They are not designed or intended to be used to cook, and families should be made aware of the safety aspects in relation to both cookers/stoves and heaters, such as likelihood of tipping, care around small children, and touching hot parts.

Page 38 of 39 NFI Technical Guidance v11 – February 2017

FIRE SAFETY Agencies should develop Fire Safety awareness messages, samples are available from CCCM, and training / awareness raising measures to accompany distributions of cookers/stoves and heaters. This should be undertaken in conjunction with any site management authorities, fire services and CCCM where relevant to ensure that messages are consistent, reflect best practice, and correspond with available fire-fighting and fire safety measures on site.

The flame and fire retardant properties of materials in NFI kits should also be considered during specification, testing and procurement. An understanding of how and where the items will be used, in relation to other aspects of the shelter or building (for example, localised risks such as water ingress, electrical circuits or fuel storage areas) will help to develop guidance and awareness that can be targeted towards specific households or settlements, identify potential hazards, and allow mitigation of these risks. Availability of and training in the use of fire-fighting equipment should comprise part of the overall fire risk analysis of a shelter or settlement.

Selection of items for NFI distributions should ideally be undertaken in coordination with shelter activities / actors in order to meet needs in a consistent and comprehensive manner. This also includes the design or upgrading of shelters to take into consideration the need for adequate ventilation of cooking areas and heated spaces during winter, and other features such as partitioning (and associated use of appropriate materials to limit fire spread), compartmentalisation, and fire evacuation routes.4

It is worth noting that the largest cause of fires in camp settings in Iraq has been poor (and unauthorised) electrical connections. Proximity of flammable materials and items (such as insulation or tent walls) to circuitry should be taken into consideration when awareness raising activities or shelter upgrading works are undertaken. Likewise, site planning, distances between shelters and fire breaks should be integrated into an overall strategy for fire risk reduction.
