Project
Background – 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.
