ECW Multi-Year Resilience Programme: Iraq 2021-2024

The ECW Multi-Year Resilience Programme (MYRP) 2021-2024 in Iraq aims to support crisis-affected girls and boys, including adolescents, to have increased and continuous access to safe, protective, inclusive and quality education to support their well-being and their learning outcomes. The Iraq MYRP prioritizes safe, protective, inclusive and gender responsive education services, supported by strategies and actions aimed at improving safety and well-being beyond schools. It also focuses on learning environments that are inclusive, gender sensitive, child friendly, and establish conditions conducive to quality learning. The MYRP aims to reach over 192,000 girls and boys, including adolescents. Of this group, 10% are children of internally displaced communities in camps and 15% in non-camp settings, 30% are returnees, 35% are Syrian refugees, and 10% are from host communities. Girls and adolescent girls make up 60% of those to be reached across all education levels. Children living with disabilities comprise 10% of the total children to be reached. The Iraq MYRP aims to support 250 schools and learning centers delivering formal and non-formal education, in eight governorates (Al Anbar, Al-Sulaymaniya, Diyala, Dhouk, Erbil, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Sala al Din) and across two regions – Center Iraq and Kurdistan Region of Iraq.
