Reconciliation & Youth Empowerment: Dohuk

IPG partnered with the Middle East Institute to examine economic reforms in Iraq, including a focus on the progress of the economic reforms agendas in Erbil and Baghdad, economic diversification policies and strategies, and regional Net Zero strategies.

IPG partnered with the United States Institute of Peace at the Middle East Peace and Security Forum in  the Kurdistan Region of Iraq to convene a workshop on justice and accountability in Iraq. The workshop examined transitional justice, the future of the disputed territories, the internally displaced and the security environment.

Together with Al Nahrain University in Baghdad, IPG organised a roundtable with students and graduates to discuss youth perspectives toward the reform process. The roundtable was chaired by Dr. Salam Jabar and opening remarks were provided by Ahmed Tabaqchali.
