COOPI Iraq recruits 01 Head of Mission

COOPI is looking for a Head of Mission in Iraq

The Iraq humanitarian crisis is recognized as one of the worst global crisis, with about 3,1 million of Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), 11 million of people in need (with a total population of 36 million of inhabitants) and hundreds of thousands of people moving to go back to the recently liberated areas exhausted by the war. Fallen under the control of the militias of Daesh on 2013, Mosul district sees one of the picks of the crisis. October 2016 the offensive driven by the Government’s army has started to take back control of the area. The area in the region of Ninewa is characterized by massive movements of people being displaced or going back to the areas which are being progressively liberated. The crisis has negative consequences also on the people who managed to never move. With reference to needs in the Education sector, end of 2016 only 60% of school-age children has access to school. Among the children part of displaced households, less than 33% have access to school. The impacted territories are affected by lack of teachers and school personnel. Many barriers make the school access difficult to children.
