IRC Iraq Protection Needs Overview April - September 2025
The IRC's protection monitoring assessments for the period April-September 2025 in Iraq were conducted using a mixed-methods approach. It serves as a follow-on to the needs assessment October 2024 to March 2025 previously released, building on findings from previous monitoring cycles and ongoing needs assessments.
The assessment aims to identify evolving protection risks, priority needs, and barriers to accessing services among conflict-affected populations, while tracking changes in protection dynamics over time within IRC's areas of operation.
Data collection was carried out across selected locations in Anbar, Kirkuk, Ninewa, and Salah al-Din governorates, targeting internally displaced persons (IDPs), returnees, and host community members. During this reporting period, IRC expanded its protection monitoring coverage, including the resumption of monitoring activities in Salah al-Din governorate and the inclusion of additional locations within previously targeted governorates.
This expansion aimed to strengthen geographic coverage and better capture localized protection risks, particularly in non-camp, peri-urban, and return-affected areas.
