Description: 

Salary: 476,000 IQD/month

Project Summary: Mercy Hands is implementing the project to promote peaceful coexistence and wellbeing for returnees and host communities in conflict-affected communities in Ninewa trough psychosocial resilience, social cohesion, and livelihood restoration. The first project’s pillar is based on the principle that the safety and wellbeing of returnees and host communities’ youth and adolescents in Ninewa is crucial to mitigate protection risks and avoid negative coping behaviors. As the second project’s pillar, once youth have positive coping skills, they are able to participate to the civic life and promote social cohesion. Also, the third project’s pillar is linked to the first pillar. The coping skills obtained through the psychosocial support activities will also allow returnees and host communities youth to absorb new skills for starting livelihood activities.
