Context
The Restoration of Peace, Livelihoods and Economic Cycles in Anbar (RePLECA) Programme is implemented by the Iraqi Ministry of Planning of Iraq and local partners with the support of GIZ, acting on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The current program phase is from December 2019 to June 2023. RePLECA focusses on stabilizing and improving rural livelihoods for most vulnerable groups in Anbar Governorate by rehabilitating productive infrastructure, providing agricultural inputs, engaging in capacity development, facilitating access to public services and supporting local peace processes. The project’s goal is to improve livelihood perspectives in the agricultural sector along the whole value chain from seed to consumption and to contribute to peaceful coexistence between and within communities. The project follows three main objectives: • Increasing the yield of smallholder households • Promotion of employment prospects in the broader agricultural sector and in the food industry • Fostering peaceful local participation and decision-making processes with a focus on increasing the economic, social and political participation. RePLECA is partnering with international and local partners to deliver context-sensitive and tailored services. In cooperation with the Iraqi Ministry of Planning, RePLECA is working at the governmental level with the Directorate of Agriculture, Directorate of Water Resources as well as the Anbar provincial government.
