NPWJ Iraq program
Within the framework of its MENA Democracy campaign, the NPWJ Iraq Program, started in 2006 and implemented through a strategic partnership with the Iraqi NGO International Alliance for Justice (IAJ), is intended to contribute to the constitutional and institution-building process in Iraq by promoting negotiation between leaders from the entire political spectrum on the most politically sensitive issues. By providing opportunities for open and informed debate, the NPWJ Iraq Program aims to help prevent or defuse negotiation deadlocks arising from a priori ideological positions and to assist in identifying durable solutions able to support Iraq’s progress towards a more stable and democratic future.
