National Expert DRR - Baghdad

UNDP Iraq has launched a new project on ‘Developing Disaster Risk Management (DRM) capacities in Iraq’ in early 2014. The project is the result of a long standing partnership of UNDP with the people and the Government of Iraq and is intended to enable the different levels of the government and communities to reduce losses and damages from natural and human-induced disasters by adopting effective mitigation and preparedness approaches.

On developing institutional capacity, UNDP, in coordination with the national DRR Committee will support establishing a national DRM center which will drive the DRR process in Iraq. The project will support selected priority ministries to mainstream DRR into sectoral planning and programming. The capacities of the Regional Government and selected vulnerable governorates will be strengthened for dealing with the disaster challenges in a gender responsible way. In support of implementation of the project, UNDP intends to secure services of a short-term national expert for a period of 60 working days over a period of six months from July 2014
