Welcome to NCCI Website
The NGO Coordination Committee in Iraq – NCCI – is an independent initiative launched by a group of NGOs who were present in Baghdad in April 2003.
At the time of its inception, the 14 members of NCCI intended to establish the basis of a neutral aid coordination highlighting the priorities for intervention and optimising the responses to the needs of the Iraqi population.
More than 4 years later, NCCI has pursued its initial objectives and has developed into a wide forum where NGOs can exchange information regarding humanitarian activities and policy decisions in Iraq.
NCCI role in Emergency coordination requires NCCI to ensure that basic needs relating to crisis situations are met.
In 2007, NCCI is a network of about 80 International NGOs and 200 Iraqi NGOs. Within a volatile context, facing severe constraints and working on a very low profile, NGOs are amongst the few genuine and reliable humanitarian actors able to deliver aid on the field on a daily basis to the most vulnerable Iraqis.
PLEASE NOTE THAT SECURITY CONCERNS PREVENT NCCI TO PROVIDE ANY LIST OF NGOS OPERATING IN IRAQ
Consequently with the high risks taken by aid workers on the ground, at least 94 Aid workers have been killed in Iraq since 2003 (Updated on 27th of September 2007).
The aid workers above-mentioned are staffs and activists of International organisations (IO), United Nations (UN) Agencies and Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO).
Our data takes in consideration incidents reported to NCCI. As Aid Workers face the same difficulties that any civilians in Iraq, the figure is certainly higher, particularly regarding Local NGOs’ staffs.
