WFP/Abeer Etefa Issue No. August 20 IRAQ Monitor Report Highlights Internal displacement constantly alters the demand of food commodities and therefore challenges the supply chain actors, including WFP and partners, to elastically respond. Kirkuk has registered an increase in food prices. Wheat flour price reached a record high of IQD,85 (9% higher than in July). The wages of unskilled labor has been rising in hard to reach areas while decreasing in the rest of the country. Yet buying a food basket in hotspot locations requires 5% more work than in other governorates. Key informants in Shirqat, report that everything is missing. IS is about to enter the city and markets are closed. In Anbar s districts of Falluja and Alqaiam, mvam respondents reported lack of any main food commodity. The situation is similar in Haditha. Socioeconomic Background Despite Iraq s middle income status and notable development gains, recurrent bouts of localized violence and regional instability have contributed to unprecedented levels of humanitarian need and food insecurity. The Public Distribution System (PDS) delivery has been intermittent, especially in hard to reach areas, heavily impacting markets. The escalation of conflict, and resulting waves of displacement have stressed the market system in the country. Six governorates have been especially affected with low availability of food and consequent impact on food prices. Due to the limited access to these locations WFP has worked with Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) to reach key informants and have a constant information flow, even from besieged areas, through the mvam methodology. Additionally, internal displacement constantly alters the demand of food commodities and challenges the supply chain actors, including WFP and partners, to elastically respond to these changes. A snapshot of the current situation is presented in the below dashboard 2.

Iraq Monitor Report Issue No. August 20 Map : Location of markets monitored by WFP Food National Price Trends The prices of the main food commodities in August have confirmed the decreasing trend started in June when the Iraqi army have liberated some strategic cities from IS, including Falluja. Prices have generally remained stable from July 20 (Chart ). Anbar and Sulaimaniyah have registered the best improvements with a decrease in the Chart : Price Trend of Main Food Commodities (in IQD/Unit) minimum food basket cost of respectively % and % (Chart 2).

On the other hand, Kirkuk has registered an increase on food commodity prices. In particular wheat flour price is 9% higher than in July reaching a record high of IQD,85. The skyrocketing of food prices in Kirkuk follows six months of surge of all food basket commodities. Despite the decrease in the cost of the main food commodities, Sulaimaniyah still registers the highest cost of lentils, meat, vegetable oil, onion, rice and sugar. As a result the cost of the minimum food basket (IQD,207) is Page 2 - Iraq Monitor Report Issue No. August 20

Despite the high difference, data confirm an improving of the situation, indicating a higher market integration across governorates (Chart ). As showed in Chart 2 above, the cost of the food basket is still higher in hotspot locations where on average a food basket price is 9% higher than in the rest of the country. The slight worsening of the gap reflects the most recent events in Salah Al-Din (see Focus on Hard to Reach Areas). Unskilled Labor Wages and Term of Trade (ToT) The wage of unskilled labor has been rising in hotspot Chart 4: Cost of Unskilled Labor per day (in IQD) locations while decreasing in the rest of the country. The trend is positive for the last three months in hard to reach areas. Despite the convergence, the difference remain 2,89 22,82 huge.

Iraq Monitor Report Issue No. August 20 Focus on Hard to Reach Areas Looking in details at the six hard to reach governorates monitored through mvam technology, we can see that the food basket cost in the last six months has followed different trends. In Anbar it has decreased in August 20 after a couple of months of increase. Similar trend is registered in Salah Al-Din and, to a smaller extend, Diyala. On the other hand, Kirkuk has registered a constant increase in the last six months, while Baghdad and Ninewa food baskets have become cheaper in the same period (Chart ). This impacted the wage-to-food ToT, with Ninewa (25) registering the highest and Anbar (8.7) the lowest (Chart 7).

As presented in Chart 8, in Falluja and Alqaiam key informants reported lack of any main food commodity. The situation is similar in Haditha too, while other districts seem to have recovered after the liberation from IS forces and have absorbed Chart 8: Food Availability Analysis in Anbar Governorate Anbar Alkhaldiyah Alqaiam Falluja Haditha Heet Ramadi Amiriyat al-fallujah Al-Rutba Oil (Vegetable) AV NA NA MNA AV AV AV AV Onion AV NA NA MNA AV AV AV AV Rice AV NA NA MNA AV AV AV AV Sugar AV NA NA MNA AV AV AV AV Wheat Flour AV NA NA MNA AV AV AV AV internal displacement in their economy. Key informants have reported several times that no food is available. According to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM), over 2,400 families (7,800 individuals) have been displaced to Salah al-din governorate since June due to military operations. The majority of the recently displaced in Salah al-din are from within the governorate. Of the newly displaced in Salah al-din governorate, more than,00 families are currently in Tikrit. Key informants have reported that in Shirqat, where the situation is critical, everything is missing. ISIS is about to enter the city and markets are closed. In the last few days of the month some of the shop owners started selling, and people are buying what is Chart 9: Food Availability Analysis in Salah Al-Din available, but everything is very expensive. Among the most cited coping mechanisms, population in Shirqat is receiving Governorate food from relatives, friends or neighbors. Key informants report that they are living in very poor conditions and they need assistance as soon as possible. According to mvam informant, people in Shirqat are sieged and cannot leave the city otherwise they would be killed by ISIS.

Iraq Monitor Report Issue No. August 20 Methodology information is collected on weekly basis by WFP field monitors. Additionally WFP in partnership with Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) collects market data remotely through mvam technology from key informants in those governorates where access is restricted, using telephone interviews. Data are then cleaned and consolidated. ly averages are used for the Iraq ly Monitor Report. Map shows the location of the WFP monitored markets as well as the hard to reach areas monitored through mvam. Field monitors collect prices for 2 food commodities, fuel items, 7 hygiene commodities and the cost of unskilled labor for one day of work. WFP field monitors cover 2 governorates where access is not restricted plus three additional governorates (Kirkuk, Baghdad and Diyala) when the security situation allows. IRW key informants collect market prices of 8 main food commodities and the daily wage of unskilled labor from six hard to reach areas in central and northern governorates of Iraq (Anbar, Baghdad, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Salh Al- Din) through mvam technology. The report is based on the analyses produced by the Integrated Surveillance Tool (IMST). The IMST is an agile market monitoring tool that was developed for Iraq Country Office (CO) and is aimed at storing raw data collected by field monitors and key informants, and creating contextualized analyses. The tool analyzes trends of main food and non-food commodities, minimum food basket, and provides an indication about how much the markets are integrated within and across governorates. Food and non-food prices are analyzed against previous periods, including key baselines, such as the pre-crisis values of February 205. Non-food items prices are not reported in this report unless a change in the price level has an impact on food security. The IMST also includes information regarding the availability of main food commodities in hotspot locations, which is collected by key informants. The classification of the availability is based on the monthly averages. A commodity is classified as Available when it is found available on every visit in the key market of a specific governorate; Widely Available when for only one visit the availability is not full; Sporadically Available when in at least half of the visits, the commodity is recorded as rare in the market; a commodity is Mostly Not Available when it was found only in rare cases in a governorate during the analyzed month; finally a commodity is classified as Not Available when it is not found in any market of a governorate at any time. AV Available WAD Widely Available SAV Sporadically Available MNA Mostly Not Available NA Not Available The minimum food basket monitored by WFP contains five food commodities. The quantities are adjusted against the survival caloric intake needs. The five commodities are wheat flour, sugar, rice, vegetable oil and onion. The IMST also provides specific and customizable analyses on hotspot areas, with district and sub-district level information. This allows to detect local issues regarding market price, availability as well as any other information regarding the specific market catchment area, including security and coping mechanism commonly adopted in the area. Given the unstable context the IMST is flexible enough to allow ad hoc analysis whenever required. The Iraq Monitor Report is issued since August 20 on a monthly basis. NOTE: Due to the long-lasting conflict in Falluja and the related impact on markets, to avoid distortions on average price analyses by governorate and maintain consistency over time, the Falluja district has been removed from all analysis related to Anbar. Falluja s information and data are analyzed aside in districtlevel analyses. Page 5 - Iraq Monitor Report Issue No. August 20
