Background
Information – Job-Specific:
The Iraq IIC
was launched in 2015 following an inter-agency assessment into the information
and communication needs of displaced populations in Iraq. Responding to one of
the most complex humanitarian crises in the world, the Humanitarian Country
Team agreed to the establishment of an inter-agency accountability mechanism
that allows affected populations to directly influence the evolution of
humanitarian response in Iraq.
The Iraq IIC is
implemented by UNOPS and is funded by a range of partners. Since its launch, the
Iraq IIC has handled more than 170,000 calls, giving information to more than 1
million individuals. The Iraq IIC’s primary objective is to promote two-way
communication between affected populations to:
Empower
communities through the provision of accessible and timely information on how
to access humanitarian services and resources required to improve their
situation;
Help ensure
efficient and effective coordination of humanitarian actors operating in Iraq
by collecting and circulating information about the urgent needs and priorities
of affected populations, as well as the information gaps between them and
delivering actors;
Support an environment of
transparency and accountability by establishing an easy-to-access and safe
mechanism through which critical feedback and complaints can be submitted and
referred to humanitarian actors to influence humanitarian programming and shape
advocacy.
