Description
This project is a response to an appeal for humanitarian aid for Iraq. Its purpose is to develop an emergency non-governmental organization (NGO) network and to help the NGO Coordination Committee for Iraq (NCCI) better respond to the needs of Iraqis through its 280 members representing national and international NGOs. Through the new emergency NGO network, information on humanitarian needs, on access to basic services, and on gaps and constraints is shared between NGOs and the UN. This information contributes to the development of an appropriate humanitarian assistance program that is more efficient and that better meets the changing emergency needs in Iraq.
