The Partnership brings together the International Labour Organization (ILO), the International Finance Corporation (IFC), UNHCR, UNICEF and the World Bank to deliver complementary interventions in education, skills development, employment and protection.PROSPECTS is implemented across eight countries—Egypt, Ethiopia, Iraq, Jordan, Kenya, Lebanon, Sudan and Uganda. The current Phase II of the Partnership covers the period 2024–2027.Iraq has experienced decades of conflict, instability and governance challenges that have affected infrastructure, institutional capacity and access to quality public services. Despite ongoing reconstruction and stabilization efforts, substantial development needs remain, particularly among refugees, internally displaced persons (IDPs) and vulnerable host communities living in remote and underserved areas.Within this context, PROSPECTS supports the implementation of the Employment-Intensive Investment Programme (EIIP) in Iraq. The EIIP approach promotes the use of local labour and locally available resources in infrastructure development and rehabilitation, while creating decent employment opportunities and strengthening local institutional capacity.Under PROSPECTS Phase I, EIIP interventions implemented in Duhok and Nineveh Governorates generated more than 82,000 working days, while integrating decent work principles into infrastructure development. Between 2021 and 2025, EIIP activities in Duhok focused primarily on green infrastructure interventions, including the rehabilitation of irrigation systems, land restoration, afforestation and solid waste recycling. These initiatives contributed to environmental sustainability, climate change mitigation and improved livelihood opportunities for refugees, IDPs and host communities.Under PROSPECTS Phase II, the ILO is supporting the implementation of a Public Works Programme (PWP) in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq, using the EIIP approach.
