Evidence-based Inclusive policy development for improved labour market performance and integration of marginalized groups in Northern Iraq

Objectives: The project aims to enhance the capacity of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) in evidence-based policy formulation, focusing on integrating youth, women, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and refugees into the labor market in Northern Iraq. Key objectives include understanding the youth labor market through assessments and diagnostics, developing evidence-based inclusive policies, and fostering capacity building among policymakers and stakeholders. The project will involve data collection, consultative dialogues, policy assessments, and the drafting of new inclusive policies validated through workshops. These actions are expected to improve the labor market performance and integration of marginalized groups.
