Context:

The Camp Coordination and Camp Management Cluster Co-Coordinator contributes to ensuring a multi-sectoral response to assist and protect displaced populations in communal settings (collective centres, camps, transit/reception centres, spontaneous and informal sites, etc.), where such are created or envisaged.

However, as camps and communal settlements are temporary solutions established only as a last resort whilst all efforts are made to find more durable solutions, the Camp Coordination and Camp Management (CCCM) Cluster in country does not advocate for the creation of camps. The cluster aims to improve the management of any relevant communal setting and to support the identification of progressive durable solutions to the resolution of displacement of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Iraq.

Additionally, displaced populations often settle outside of communal settings with host families or in rented premises in rural or urban areas and some aspects of the management and coordination of their access to protection and assistance might fall under the purview of the CCCM Cluster, in Iraq as of September 2017 there are more than 3 million IDP’s with only 24% living in recognized camps.

IOM co-leadership work will focus on out of camp displacement management and cluster member’s engagement on such, but also at technical support to the development of camp closure/consolidation plans at governorate level in order to operationalize the national framework already in place.
