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 5 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’s role in Emergency coordination requires NCCI to ensure that basic needs relating to crisis situations are met.
NCCI Objectives:
To optimise humanitarian assistance in Iraq through a coordination platform and coordination services that provide relevant, accurate and timely information, preventive and advocacy mechanisms and opportunities to the Humanitarian Community in Iraq.
To empower the civil society in Iraq, particularly the humanitarian organisations through information sharing, knowledge exchange, creation of links, capacity building and sensitisation to humanitarian principles and approaches.
To provide an independent and neutral space for international and national NGOs operating in Iraq.
To increase NGO capacities and knowledge to enhance the delivery of assistance on humanitarian grounds to Iraqi people in need.
In cooperation with other assistance actors, including the United Nations, to improve general coordination amongst the humanitarian community and general information sharing on humanitarian issues
To strengthen understanding amongst the various stakeholders in Iraq,
In 2008, 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.
