Transforming lives through learning
In Iraq, our commitment and mandate is to support lifelong learning from primary school through to higher education; including adult education and technical and vocational education and training (TVET); education in emergency settings; and education for those with special needs.
In partnership with government and civil society, UNESCO ensures access to quality and relevant educational services and responding to contemporary challenges with gender equality as an underlying principle.
Safeguarding and rehabilitating cultural heritage
Attention was first paid to emergency assistance to the protection of archaeological sites and the rehabilitation of cultural institutions such as the National Museum and the National Library and Archives. In addition to rehabilitation and safeguarding projects, UNESCO works with the Iraqi government to provide technical expertise and support capacity development within the relevant cultural institutions for heritage conservation and management.
As an intergovernmental organization, UNESCO also facilitates international coordination for the application of normative tools that protect cultural heritage.
