On behalf of the German Federal Government, notably the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development and the Federal Foreign Office, as well as the European Union and the Agence Française de Dévelopment, GIZ is working in several priority areas in Iraq.

Furthermore, interventions to create temporary and sustainable income opportunities and revitalization of the local economy are the focus of our work. Together with our partner organizations, GIZ also promotes employment and economic prospects for young people and to ensure that people have better access to public services. GIZ is also supporting the decentralization and digitalization of the Iraqi administration at the federal and local levels. Additionally, we strengthen the participation of women in society and the peace process; and raise awareness of gender equality as well as Gender Based Violence.
