Description of the tasks to be assigned
Deliverables
Future project roadmap including:
Timeline
The mission will be hybrid, with remote work and occasional on-site missions in Iraq, subject to adequate security conditions.
On-site missions (1-2 weeks each time) :
Natural hazards such as floods and earthquakes have a significant impact in Iraq. This can challenge the achievements of development (education, reduction of gender inequalities, health, etc.) and affect the country's economic, political, and social stability, as well as the stability of institutions and communities. While mastering operational processes during crisis management is essential, the phases preceding the crisis (prevention and preparedness) allow for anticipation and mitigation of the impact when the crisis occurs.
Therefore, the proposed project aims to strengthen Iraq in establishing an effective operational system for risk and disaster management that serves the population. Activities focused on understanding hydro-meteorological and geological hazards would be conducted so that the developed tools can become decision-making aids for the Iraqi civil defense to support emergency plans and alerts. The Iraqi civil defense would also benefit from enhanced capacities in dealing with specific risks (floods and earthquakes) through training involving other stakeholders and the provision of risk-specific equipment. Addressing specific areas in Iraq (the North for earthquakes, the South for floods), the communities in these areas would be involved in risk response activities and awareness campaigns about disaster risks.
