Fixing public & migration challenges, one step at a time. They make it happen!

Great to be in Duhok for the graduation of 31 civil servants who completed the “Public Service with Powerful Women Leaders” course.

ئەمڕۆ ١٢ ساڵ تێدەپەڕێت بەسەر هێرشی توندوتیژی داعش بۆ سەر ئێزدیکان. ئێمە قوربانییەکانی ئەو تاوانە ترسناکەمان وەبیردەمێنێت و لەگەڵ ڕزگاربووان وەستاوین، کە زۆربەیان هێشتا ئازار دەچێژن.

🇳🇱 پابەندە بە پشتیوانیکردنی کۆمەڵگەی ئێزدی لە ئاوەدانکردنەوەو دووبارە بنیاتنانەوەی ژیانیان.

Today marks 12 years since Daesh launched its campaign against the Yezidi. We remember the victims of these horrific crimes and stand with the survivors.

Together with our outgoing @NLinIQ Ambassador @jaalberda, we had fruitful farewell meetings in Erbil and Sulaymaniya. During meetups with political leaders, civil society organizations, activists and government we looked back on our cooperation during the last couple of years.

Reducing food waste starts with stronger value chains.

Helping farmers cut post-harvest losses & deliver more value from farm to consumer. NL contributes to the vegetable value chain in the KRI through better production practices, enhanced packaging & food safety

[Rob Jetten @MinPres]

This morning I spoke with Iraqi Prime Minister @AliFalihAlzaidy for the first time. We discussed his government’s commitment to tackling corruption and disarming militias in Iraq. This will help to bring greaterstability and security. Iraq also aims to use these positive developments to improve the trade and investment climate. In addition, Iraq is a key partner for the Netherlands when it comes to security cooperation and counterterrorism. Of course, we also discussed the regional security situation, particularly in neighbouring countries Iran and Syria.

Preventing violence extremism: that’s what the recent masterclass organised by SPARK, SPARDA & HSC was about.

Representatives of the Kurdistan Regional Government & all others involved worked together on the development of a strategy on this matter. Now, from theory into action!
