Background Information – Job Specific
The Iraq Information Center (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 IIC is implemented by UNOPS
and is funded by a range of partners. Since its launch, the Iraq IIC has
handled more than 400,000 calls, giving information to more than 2 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.
