The French Red Cross (FRC) has started operating in Northern Iraq in 2013 in Dohuk, Ninewa and Erbil governorates. Focused first on the influx of Syrian refugees, then on the IDP crisis – installed among host communities in Northern Iraq – and the challenging displacements and returns of population.
With its partner, the Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS), the FRC responded to the first wave of families displaced from Mosul in October 2016 and is currently operating programs in SGBV, WASH and Health prevention in Ninewa region ; and under DRR componant in both Iraqi Kurdistan (Sulaymaniya) and Federal Iraq (Babil, Missan and Wassit governorates).
To ease the conduction of its operations, FRC has facilities in Erbil, Duhok, Sinuni and Baghdad. The French Red Cross Iraqi Delegation currently employs about 25 national staffs and 5 international staffs, working in close partnership with Iraqi Red Crescent Society (IRCS).
As per changings in the strategy, operational constraints and lack of funding, it has been decided that FRC mission in Iraq will close in the course of 2022. The principals challenges of the mission are therefore to keep a good coordination of the projects cycle and more particularly the operational monitoring of programs implemented with the IRCS in Iraq, and to lead the delegation to its closure along the second part of the year, after finalization of ongoing projects.
