Global Communities - CHF International (Iraq)

For nearly twenty years, Global Communities has worked with Iraqi businesses and communities at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion.

Global Communities began working in Iraq in June 2003, just two months after the end of Saddam Hussein’s government. Over nearly two decades, our programming has ranged from helping provincial governments effectively respond to community needs to distributing food baskets to internally displaced persons. 

Today, Global Communities is at the heart of Iraq’s economic recovery, supporting small- and medium-sized businesses and homeowners who were long excluded from traditional financial services.
Through unique development finance instruments and a long-term commitment to the private sector in Iraq, Global Communities has advanced financial inclusion in partnership with Iraqi entrepreneurs and business students. 

Global Communities works at the intersection of humanitarian assistance, sustainable development and financial inclusion, and our work in Iraq has also included responding to significant emergencies and supporting survivors as they recover, as well as building long-term resilience for a sustainable future.
