Iraq Offices

AIC has two offices in Iraq, in both Baghdad and Basrah.  The Basrah office has been open since 2008 with the opening of AIC’s successful Basrah Anti-Violence Campaign.  In 2010, AIC expanded operations to Basrah with the beginning of the Ambassadors for Peace program, thereby extending its conflict resolution programming to a new city and region.

Our Iraq offices employ more than 60 Iraqis who work mainly in community level conflict resolution and outreach.  Our offices also work to build civil society networks by interacting with NGOs and local civic groups.  As part of our outreach our staff has held many peace-themed community events including soccer tournaments, poetry and art competitions and educational workshops.
