ACTED began work in Iraq in 2003. ACTED has one base in southern Iraq in Kut and in 2007 opened
a base in Erbil to better respond to IDP needs in the Kurdistan region. ACTED originally focused on
improving the health, water and sanitation conditions of vulnerable populations in southern Iraq, but
the deteriorating security situation and drastic increase in the number of displaced people have
resulted in a new focus on meeting IDP and host community needs, based on the experience in IDP
camps in Lebanon. The ACTED Iraq national team includes around 100 people who implement multisector emergency relief projects including WATSAN activities, gender based violence awareness,
health promotion, economic rehabilitation, food security, and distribution of basic relief commodities.
Supporting long-term impacts through sustainable livelihoods and support to local civil society - For
ACTED Iraq, 2011 was a year of transition from emergency relief and rehabilitation to development.
To support the slow march towards peace and stability, ACTED implemented a dynamic range of
programming from the distribution of basic necessities to internally displaced families to
apprenticeship programs, gender-based violence awareness and capacity building of local authorities
and Iraqi civil society.
In 2011, ACTED partnered with an Iraqi NGO for the first time in order to jointly implement a project
providing assistance to Iraq’s displaced populations. Moving forward, ACTED will prioritise partnership
with local Iraqi NGOs to better deliver assistance through their detailed knowledge of and experience
with target communities, build the capacity of Iraq’s civil society and move toward increasingly
sustainable and longer-term interventions.
