The EUAM Iraq "Strategy for Engaging with Civil Society" has been updated. This key document, part of the European Union comprehensive approach to Security Sector Reform, outlines the vision and logic behind how the Mission engages with civil society actors in Iraq.

EUAM Iraq Gender and Human Rights Adviser Khalid Siddiqi commented: “An empowered civil society is a component of any democracy. By articulating citizens’ concerns, civil society actors are active in the public arena and engage in initiatives, which foster pluralism and further democracy. In that light, integrating a people-centered approach, through engagement with civil society, contributes to the effectiveness and impact of any intervention addressing the security sector.”
