IRAQ<br />

P<strong>IN</strong> has operated in southern Iraq since May 2003. Due to<br />
the continuing adverse security situation, P<strong>IN</strong>’s support for<br />
the area is coordinated from an office in Amman, Jordan.<br />
In addition to capacity building projects in the healthcare<br />
sector and support for internally displaced persons, P<strong>IN</strong><br />
primarily focuses on long-term projects aimed at building<br />
civil society in Iraq. Based on experience and results<br />
achieved in the past years, a significant part of the activities<br />
focused on building the capacity of Iraqi non-governmental<br />
organizations, developing open communication between<br />
important sectors of civil society, and improving cooperation<br />
with local government.<br />
In <strong>2007</strong>, the Iraq mission began health awareness training<br />
for mothers with children under five and organized income<br />
generation courses for women. Over 5,000 women were<br />
educated on basic health care.<br />
The training of traditional birth attendants continued<br />
in the Basrah and Missan provinces. After the outburst of<br />
cholera in <strong>2007</strong>, P<strong>IN</strong> organized health awareness seminars<br />
and provided distribution of over 21,000 information leaflets.<br />
