Resumen
Descripción
The Iraq conflict has resulted in huge population movements and the loss of personal assets, crops, livestock production and food supplies. The conflict has also caused damage and destruction to water systems, irrigation facilities and agricultural infrastructure, as well as the disruption of value chains. In response, the Government of Iraq has formulated the Iraq Reconstruction and Development Framework, which aims to rebuild the agricultural sector to provide jobs and income in rural and peri-urban areas, allowing millions of internally displaced people to return home. The initiative will make a major contribution to the UN’s two-year Iraq Recovery and Resilience Programme by rebuilding agriculture on a sustainable basis, with an emphasis on the social dimension, improving food security and nutrition, supporting livelihoods and reducing poverty by restoring irrigation systems and crop and livestock production. Interventions will necessarily be informed by a conflict sensitivity analysis to understand local dynamics, including peace and conflict drivers, in order to ensure the most appropriate programme design and identify opportunities where local peace objectives can also be supported.
