Iraq

Relief International has been in Iraq since 2003. Its cross-sectoral response reaches out to the most vulnerable groups: girls and women, internally-displaced persons (IDPs) and returnees, widows, orphans, urban and rural poor and minorities.

In an effort to continue to build the capacity of civil society in Iraq, Relief International-Iraq was founded in 2005 as a local counterpart to Relief International. Over the course of the next five years, Relief International is in the process of turning over programming, fund-raising and accountability responsibilities to Relief International-Iraq, which will then become wholly independent.
