Moving beyond one-off dialogues to system-level transformation, this roadmap embeds peacebuilding in to multiple programmes, anticipatory action and community resilience.

World Vision Iraq, a child-focused humanitarian organization, continued its mission in FY24 by addressing critical needs across health, education, livelihoods, protection, and WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene). Operating under a sustained humanitarian response framework since 2014, the organization has transitioned toward long-term recovery and resilience-building efforts. In FY24, it impacted the lives of 156, 976 million vulnerable children and community members across Iraq, especially in conflict-affected areas. Emphasizing community empowerment, World Vision Iraq collaborated with local partners and stakeholders to enhance service delivery and promote sustainable development, while integrating peacebuilding and climate resilience strategies within its humanitarian-development-peace nexus approach.

The early years shape a child’s future and every child deserves a safe, clean, and joyful space to grow. In Kirkuk, World Vision Iraq has transformed Nargiz Kindergarten by upgrading WASH facilities and providing new learning and play materials — creating a brighter, healthier start for vulnerable children.

After 11 years of presence, World Vision has stood alongside Iraq through its darkest days. We began our mission during the height of the 2014 conflict, delivering emergency aid amidst chaos and displacement. Today, as peace slowly takes root and families return home, our work has transformed—shifting from crisis response to rehabilitation, safe return, and now long-term development. Yet Iraq’s future is still fragile. Climate change threatens the land, millions of children are without access to clean water, and women continue to face deep-rooted inequality. Our mission is not over. Now more than ever, Iraq needs partners committed to lasting change.
