Please indicate if you require any special accommodation, even at the first interview.

Humanity & Inclusion operations in Iraq: HI has been registered and operational in Iraq since 1991 and has become a lead implementing agency in the emergency response in the Health and Protection sectors, operating across Ninewa, Kirkuk, Salah al Din, Baghdad, Anbar and Basra Governorates.
Following years of continuous internal conflict Iraq has recently managed to come to some kind of fragile stabilisation. Political and public unrest continue as the new found systems to run the country are ripe of corruption and the richness of the oil revenues is not distributed to the people.
We have worked in the last months on the redefinition of our strategy for the years to come, having an adapted development and donor strategy to support this will be key. The belief that the HI mandate continues to be needed and viable in Iraq is a shared drive.
