IOM

The IOM-Iraq Mission was set up in April 2003 in response to the overwhelming humanitarian need following the collapse of the former regime. It was clear from the start that it had a challenging time ahead of it. Working in a wide range of areas, across almost every governorate in Iraq, IOM staff quickly made an impact, despite the increasingly chaotic situation. In August 2003, following the bombing of the canal hotel, IOM's programme coordination was transferred to Jordan and Kuwait, with national staff members and NGO partners remaining inside Iraq.

Despite this less than ideal situation, IOM has continued to work effectively in Iraq. As of February 2005, it has channeled more than 37 million dollars into a projects which assist the displaced, the unemployed, the dispossessed, the vulnerable, the stranded and the sick. In addition to these broad areas of assistance, it also provides capacity-building and technical assistance to various Iraqi Ministries, government departments and commissions, such as the Iraq Property Claims Commission, which has greatly increased their capacity and impact on the ground.
