81249452 — Context Monitoring System for GIZ Programmes in Anbar and Nineveh, Iraq

After the terrorist organization Islamic State (IS) has been largely defeated in Iraq, the country is still at a critical stage. The governorates of Anbar and Nineveh have been severely affected by the IS occupation and liberation struggles, which led to massive destruction of infrastructure and displacement. GIZ currently implements 3 projects within the funding line of ‘Transitional Development Assistance’ in Nineveh and Anbar, where GIZ aims to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations through the construction and rehabilitation of basic public social infrastructure, livelihood activities as well as peacebuilding measures. Thereby, the projects aim at conceptualizing the relevant connection between so called ‘hard components’ e.g. construction and ‘soft components’ including programming in civil conflict transformation, promoting peaceful coexistence and strengthening social cohesion beyond the project region.
