430'000 people had to leave their homes due to the ongoing armed conflict in Anbar province. Many fled to Kirkuk and Salah al-Din governorates. 50% among the displaced are children. Mostly sheltered under precarious conditions in public buildings, mosques and schools, they are in urgent need of emergency assistance and a protective environment where they feel safe and can enjoy non-formal education since they also dropped out of school.

Displaced girls, boys and their families affected by the armed conflict in Anbar live in dignity and have access to food, basic items, child protection and education interventions.

A total of 44'500 lDPs in Kirkuk and Salah al-Din receive emergency assistance, child protection and non-formal education services.

1. Internal displaced children and families can cope with and recover from the hardship of displacement through the provision of food and non-food items.
2. Internal displaced children and youth feel safe and have access to psycho-social services in Child and Youth Friendly Spaces.
3. Internal displaced "out of school" children and youth have access to non-formal education.
