As access to Hawiga opened up, Tearfund conducted security assesments, rapid needs assessments and also a market assessment to establish the needs and identify the priority locations and areas of remainees and returns. From these findings and co-ordination with other agencies, Tearfund has determined the villages of intervention, and both WASH and cash implementation are being established in these new areas. Activities through sub-awardee Jiyan Foundation for Human Rights are currently underway from their Alqosh and Dohuk offices. As well as other NFI and water kit distributions in Ninewa and Dohuk, Tearfund conducted a seasonal NFI distribution in Daquq IDP camp in Kirkuk governorate, being the first organization to use a voucher-based methodology. This was well received by beneficiaries and by the Shelter & NFI cluster. Tearfund has also continued the voucher-based clothing distributions in Garmawa Camp and Haji Ali Camp in Ninewa governorate. All planned Multipurpose Cash activites in Ninewa and Kirkuk were completed in this quarter as scheduled, reaching 6,939 individuals.
