Visit our website to learn more about what we do at UNICEF. For every child, the right to a future The UNICEF Iraq Country Office five-year Country Programme (CPD 2PHONE_NUMBER) focuses on five priority areas aimed at improving outcomes for all children by advancing child-related national priorities, guided by the principles of children s rights, equity, gender equality, resilience, national ownership, and innovative programming. UNICEF has a long-standing partnership with the Government of Iraq at national and governorate level, civil society and other partners to advance the rights and well-being of children, in line with national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals. Child outcomes in Iraq continue to be affected by geographic, socio-economic and institutional disparities. The work of UNICEF, other UN agencies and most development actors has moved away from a humanitarian focus to one around longer-term development. Significant security concerns (both internal and regional) remain a hindrance to steady progress across social sectors. Yet, Iraq is an upper-middle income country, and the government is expected to lead and fund its development. In that regard, the UNSDCF and the UNICEF Country Programme places a strong emphasis on systems strengthening, public finance for children, and support to national and subnational institutions to deliver services on scale. UNICEF works closely with national government agencies to strengthen policies, systems, financing and service delivery across programme sectors. UNICEF Iraq has three offices: the Country Office in Baghdad and two field offices in Basra (south) and Erbil (north). The Baghdad Office is within the UN Compound where all UN agencies work, and all international staff are housed. The inter-agency work on operations is a significant responsibility for UNICEF, including as Chair of the Operations Management Team (OMT).
