Project Summary:
The Iraq Genocide Recovery and Persecution Response (GRPR) is an activity of Management Systems International (MSI) under its Governance Integration for Stabilization and Resilience (GISR) in MENA Project of the USAID’s Middle East Bureau.
The 22-month activity is part of USAID’s response to help populations in the Middle East and North Africa recover from the ISIS genocide against ethnic and religious minorities and preserve pluralism in the region. The Iraq GRPR program will help facilitate USAID efforts to help ethnic and religious minorities heal and restore their communities, support economic recovery, and prevent future atrocities. USAID programming addresses the immediate, life-saving and recovery needs of these populations, as well as the challenges of restoring access to essential services, rehabilitating critical infrastructure, improving access to jobs, supporting local businesses, and mobilizing local and national actors to prevent future atrocities.
The purpose of this GISR-supported Activity is to explore more effective approaches to aiding survivors and victims of SGBV, through assessments of current activities, the design of one or more pilot projects testing improved interventions, and learning, sharing, and “scaling up” of promising approaches. Activities will focus on communities in the Ninewa Plains, and perhaps elsewhere in Northern Iraq. The GRPR Activity is scheduled for 22 months, beginning in November 2018.
