IRAQ<br />

19<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 />
