Belgium enhances support to stabilization in Iraq
Format
Baghdad – The Government of Belgium has invested an additional EUR 2 million in the Funding Facility for Stabilization (FFS). The contribution will support stabilization efforts implemented by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) across Iraq’s five governorates in Anbar, Diyala, Kirkuk, Ninewa and Salah Al-Din.
Since 2016, Belgium has contributed EUR 12.12 million to the Facility, which was recently extended to 2023. To date, Belgium’s support along with other international donors to the FFS has benefitted over 1.46 million Iraqis, of which 50 percent are women.
With this generous additional funding, UNDP will be able to support additional essential services such as housing, and the rehabilitation of critical infrastructure in the sectors of electricity, water and education.
