Iraq is an unpredictable and ever-changing context, but after 20 years of experience of managing community development and local governance-projects in Iraq, IRFAD is well-equipped to meet and adjust to changes and upcoming challenges.
This preparedness is integrated in our planning, monitoring, and learning approaches, and in our continuous conflict analysis. IRFAD has its ears close to the ground and the ‘street’ all the time and is embedded in the local contexts where we work.
We see ourselves as a key partner both to local governments and to civil society in empowering citizens to participate in local governance. Through our professional record and cautious approach to local development, IRFAD is recognized and respected by many parts of Iraqi society.
