As part of the British NAP 1325, this 2,5- year program will establish an effective partnership between approximately 36 Iraqi civil society organizations (CSOs) and women’s rights organizations (WROs) to promote women, peace, and security (WPS). Within the program the partners aim to support strong, resourceful women and men in Iraq to strengthen resilient communities. The overall goal as formulated is Iraqi grassroots women-led, feminist and women’s rights organizations that are self-reliant and interconnected, advancing a localized transformative WPS agenda, contributing to inclusive peace and security in communities across federal Iraq and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq (KRI).
