Education

Iraq has gone through many humanitarian crises in the modern era that led to the displacement of thousands of people from their homes as a result of military battles such as the eight-year war with Iran, the Gulf War, Desert Storm (1991-1992), the economic blockade (1991-2003), and then last war in (2003) that led by the United States of America.
After SEDO’s establishment in July 2007, one of its objectives and mandates is to support the marginalized and vulnerable groups in Iraq and enable them to be active in the development of the local economy and respond to any humanitarian crisis to face any risk of economic collapse at the local market level.
SEDO had a fundamental and effective role in the humanitarian response during more than one crisis, including assisting the displaced during the civil war in Iraq (2007-2009) and the displacement of Fallujah and Ramadi peoples (2013-2014) and during the largest humanitarian crisis in Iraq and military battles in north and middle of Iraq (2014-2022). During these crises, more than a million displaced and returnees have been responded to in various humanitarian sectors, including the Education sector.
SEDO implemented more than (5) education projects in Iraq, about (3) projects were pure education sectoral projects and (2) projects were multi-sectorial projects including the education sector. SEDO has Protection and Education expert who is responsible for design the activities, develop the Education tools and manuals inside SEDO, and provide technical support for the all Protection and Education projects teams
