Working environmentArmed conflict continued to cause internal displacement and generated humanitarian needs across thecountry. The fall of Ramadi in May 2015 resulted in significant levels of new displacement, mostly in AnbarGovernorate.The financial crisis deeply affected the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI) and undermined the capacity of theauthorities to maintain basic services in locations with high concentrations of internally displaced people(IDPs), notably Dahuk, Baghdad, Kirkuk and Sulaimaniyah Governorates.While possibilities for return arose after the retaking of Baiji, Ramadi, Sinjar and Tikrit by government forces,continued volatility and challenges relating to stabilization and reconstruction hindered sustainable return. Implementation of protection activities was strained by the unstable security situation, particularly in Anbar,Ninewa, and Salah alDin Governorates.
Population trendsSome 3.2 million people have been internally displaced since January 2014. Over 244,000 Syrian refugees were registered by the end of 2015, with 97 per cent residing in the KRI. Some 90 per cent of IDPs and more than 60 per cent of refugees reside outside of camps. More than 43,000 refugees and asylum-seekers of nationality other than Syrian and an estimated 50,000stateless persons were registered in Iraq by the end of 2015.
Achievements and impactCoordination remained effective between line ministries, United Nations agencies and NGOs.Cash assistance was the preferred way of providing humanitarian assistance to the most vulnerablerefugees and IDPs. UNHCR increased the emphasis on mainstreaming age, gender and diversity methodology into allprogrammes.
Unmet needsDue to the funding shortfall, approximately 63 per cent of assessed IDP shelter needs were unmet. Cash assistance was provided to some 6 per cent of the Syrian refugee population (some 3,200 Syrianfamilies).Many refugee teachers stopped working due to non-payment of their government salaries, while prospectsfor self-reliance diminished with reduced job opportunities and higher competition for positions available tothe refugee population.
