• Resource Centers have provided training, technical assistance and other services to 1,964 Iraqi organizations (and indirectly to thousands more through its support for Iraqi CSO networks and coalitions) and completed organizational needs assessments of over 1,200 CSOs.
• Resource Centers have conducted 740 training workshops in core capacity building (financial management, internal governance, advocacy, etc.), 1,334 training workshops on program-specific areas (women’s advocacy, human rights, civic education, anti-corruption and independent media) and more than 5,000 technical assistance sessions with Iraqi CSOs.
• For Iraqi CSOs that were retested (roughly 25% of all CSOs receiving capacity building assistance), there was an average 41.4% increase in competency following ICSP assistance across the four core capacity areas of general management, internal governance, financial management and advocacy.
• Resource Centers have facilitated Iraqi CSO coalition building on joint action and advocacy through 436 regional and national conferences/forums.

• Over 850 CSOs have received ICSP training and technical assistance to build their knowledge and skills in anti-corruption work.  Many of these CSO have, in turn, provided training to other Iraqi CSOs and government agencies on recognizing and fighting corruption.
• The CSO-driven National Anti-Corruption Awareness Raising Campaign has utilized print media (posters, banners, signs, pamphlets, brochures, and booklets), mass media (TV and radio programs and announcements, newspaper articles) and the work of Iraqi artists (mobile theaters, art exhibitions, and cartoon displays) to reach over a million people.
• More than 750 workshops held by ICSP and its Iraqi CSO partners have resulted in anti-corruption training to over 13,000 government officials and civil servants.  The impact of this work includes the establishment of mechanisms to register citizen complaints or charges of corruption as well as the removal of government officials charged with unethical behavior.
• CSOs have worked with members of the Kurdistan Parliament to raise awareness of the need for legislative improvements to counter corruption and forge common reform agendas.  As a result, 10 members of the Parliament successfully pressed for a new law on illicit gains and CSOs are now working with the Kurdistan Regional Government’s Supreme Board of Audits to press for vigorous application of the new law.
• Iraqi CSOs successfully advocated for adoption of 13 specific anti-corruption provisions reflected in the Iraqi Constitution.
• CSO-public partnerships in training and advocacy have been established with a wide array of government agencies, such as the Commission for Public Integrity (CPI), government ministries, parliament, provincial councils, local government, hospitals and schools. 

• CSO advocacy conferences for women’s rights resulted in the incorporation of 12 recommendations into the Constitution, including the provision to reserve 25 percent of seats in the Council of Representatives for women.  CSOs are currently working together to advocate for substantial revision to Article 41, a particularly troubling article in the original Constitution, as part of the ongoing Constitutional Review Process.
• Approximately 600 Iraqi CSOs have received training and technical assistance to more effectively undertake gender issue programs.
• In support of women’s advocacy, ICSP and its CSO partners have organized 140 forums, ten regional and three national conferences to enable women’s advocacy CSOs to network, organize coalitions and develop advocacy campaigns for gender equality, political participation and rights protection.
• Iraqi CSOs focused on Women’s Advocacy have held 421 activities to build public awareness and promote the active and just participation of women in public affairs.  In high conflict areas such as Diyala, Al Anbar and Salah Al Din provinces or extremely rural provinces, there has been an increased focus on discussion and work related to women’s role in reconciliation and participation in civic life.  CSO advocacy campaigns have succeeded in changing attitudes and practices related to Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) in Kurdistan, increased literacy training for women and convinced Islamic clerics to publicly address women’s rights issues.

• A three-day human rights constitutional conference sponsored by ICSP resulted in the inclusion of 11 human rights provisions in the Constitution that were proposed by participating CSOs.
• Over 600 CSOs have increased their capacity to conduct human rights work through training and technical assistance provided by ICSP staff or partners. Many of these CSOs provide training to government officials, particularly police departments and have succeeded in establishing programs to monitor conditions in the prisons.  Results include improved conditions in these prisons and an increased awareness of human rights obligations.
• CSOs have also developed partnerships with human rights departments and other government agencies with direct results such as the release of detainees not charged with crimes, the formation of joint committees in two provinces with exceptionally high levels of internally displaced people (IDPs), and the formation of a Supreme Council for Human Rights in the Kurdistan government.

• CSOs mobilized citizen participation in Iraq’s elections and the drafting of the 2005 Constitution. ICSP is a leading force in assisting a growing mass of Iraqi CSOs throughout the country to advocate for a strong enabling environment for Iraqi civil society and in drafting of a new NGO law recently submitted to the Ministry of Civil Society for consideration.
• Over 1,000 Iraqi CSOs have increased their ability to conduct civic education through participation in 428 workshops and 562 technical assistance sessions.
• CSOs have implemented 335 civic education program activities directly reaching approximately 20,000 people while their mass media civic education campaigns reach hundreds of thousands of Iraqis.

ICSP has strengthened Iraq’s emerging commercial and public service media improving the professional news and public affairs reporting essential to better informing and engaging the Iraqi public in the democratic process.  ICSP provides varied and ongoing support for media outlets emerging at both the national and local levels.  With ICSP assistance, Iraqi journalists and independent media have improved their journalism and media management skills and promoted a legal and regulatory system conducive to free speech and independent, responsible media. 

• ICSP helped establish and build the capacity of the first independent news agency (NINA-the National Iraqi News Agency) and supported the development of Iraq’s Public Broadcasting Service.
• Increased the knowledge and skills of over 1,000 journalists and media professionals.
