National Protection Cluster - Iraq: Humanitarian Needs Overview and Response Plan 2021, Guidance Note for Partners
Format
1. Introduction
This Guidance Note presents the National Protection Cluster (NPC) strategy for the Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2021, including population figures, objectives and response. Since 2019, the Iraq operation has been implementing activity-based costing (ABC) with no project submissions through the Online Project System (OPS or HPC Projects Module). In 2021, the enhanced activity-based costing approach has been adopted.
The NPC strongly recommends partners to adhere to its HRP strategy illustrated in this document. At the same time, given the strong evidence base of the 2021 Iraq Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO) and the clear targets and priorities outlined in the HRP, donors are highly encouraged to ensure that they are/will be funding projects that align with the 2021 NPC HRP Strategy and live up to NPC standards.
