Landscapes of Challenge, Portraits of Hope: World Vision Iraq launches it’s new three-year strategy and ENOUGH campaign at an event marking the organisation’s tenth anniversary.

World Vision Iraq launched it’s new three-year strategy at an event marking the organisation’s tenth anniversary. In the presence of faith leaders, government officials, diplomats, Iraq- and Kurdistan-based NGO partners and peer organisations, ‘Landscapes of Challenge, Portraits of Hope’ also comprised an exhibition of original artwork by Shayan Nuradeen. Ms Nuradeen’s artwork told stories of great loss and burgeoning hope.

The new strategy entails an intensification of longer-term programming to find durable solutions to Iraq’s fundamental development challenges, such as the effects of climate change. Both the artwork and the strategy align with World Vision’s new global ENOUGH campaign to end child hunger for good. As our expert panel agreed, this won’t be achieved in Iraq simply by giving children food handouts, but by working to secure access to ENOUGH clean water, ENOUGH quality education and healthcare, ENOUGH sustainable livelihoods for family members, ENOUGH peace and social cohesion, ENOUGH good governance, and ENOUGH community participation – including by children and youth – in the decisions that affect their lives.
