Focus on Iraq

Iraq is a country in the Middle East that continues to grapple with the long-term consequences of two decades of conflict, compounded by severe environmental crises and economic instability.

Current Challenges

Protracted Displacement and ReintegrationWhile five million returnees have slowly made their way back to their homes, over one million people remain internally displaced. Both groups face significant obstacles to successful integration, including damaged housing, lack of legal documentation, and limited access to essential services.

Water Scarcity and Environmental ShocksIraq is currently facing its worst water crisis in decades, with national water reserves at record lows. This drought, ranked as one of the country’s most significant threats, has decimated agricultural land, displaced thousands of families, and created a development emergency that endangers health and food security.

Food Insecurity and Chronic PovertyApproximately 3.4 million Iraqis are in need of livelihood assistance, with millions living in acute poverty and trapped in extreme debt.
