It’s been a busy and rewarding year for WPS Iraq and all its local partners in the Iraqi government and civil society. WPS’ work in Iraq began in 2020 with a variety of capacity-building activities for the Iraqi federal government, which also co-identified priorities for following WPS work. In the following years, WPS worked mostly with Iraqi NGOs to reach communities in the south of Iraq and support them in addressing water- related tensions. These NGOs were Al-Firdaws, specialising in mediation, and Humat Dijlah, focusing on environmental rights.
