Iraq - IOM Iraq - Economic reconstruction through employment and revitalization of the local economy (Phase II)

active

The aim of the FC measure is to create medium to long-term income opportunities for internally displaced persons, returnees and needy residents in Iraq. The focus of the project is on measures to improve employment (vocational training, agricultural training, on-the-job training, job placement; business and company expansions and grants to SMEs through the Enterprise Development Fund). In addition, short-term employment measures (cash for work) are financed in order to create short-term income opportunities. In addition, economic development infrastructure measures are carried out to make it easier for companies to settle and/or expand. At the same time, the ability of the relevant ministries and institutions to better coordinate measures to improve living conditions and employment and to support micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) at the local level is to be strengthened. The project is being implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM).
