Norway enters into humanitarian cooperation with Islamic Relief Worldwide
Norge innleder humanitært samarbeid med Islamic Relief Worldwide
Norway is also considering supporting the organisation’s work in southern and central Somalia.
Det vurderes også å støtte organisasjonens arbeid i Sør- og Sentral- Somalia.
Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) provides important assistance in countries such as Iraq, Somalia and Afghanistan.
Den anerkjente humanitære organisasjonen Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW) gjør en viktig hjelpeinnsats i land som Irak, Somalia og Afghanistan.
Norway has decided to allocate NOK two million to the IRW’s efforts on preventing gender-based violence and strengthening education for internally displaced children and young people in Iraq.
Norge har besluttet å støtte IRWs arbeid med to millioner kroner til forebygging av kjønnsbasert vold og styrket utdanning for internt fordrevne barn og unge i Irak.
It actively promotes humanitarian values and gender equality in Muslim countries, and can prove to be a valuable partner for Norway.
Organisasjonen jobber aktivt for å fremme humanitære verdier og likestilling i muslimske land, og kan bli en verdifull samarbeidspartner for Norge, sier statssekretær Raymond Johansen.
“The humanitarian system has been dominated by a small number of Western actors.
- Det humanitære systemet har vært dominert av noen få, vestlige aktører.
The Government wishes to help to address this situation and build new alliances.
Regjeringen ønsker å bidra til å utvide den humanitære kretsen og bygge nye allianser.
This makes this new partnership particularly interesting.”
Derfor er dette nye samarbeidet særlig interessant, sier statssekretæren.
The IRW is an international organisation with offices in Africa, Asia, Europe and the Middle East.
IRW er en internasjonal organisasjon med kontorer i Afrika, Asia, Europa og Midtøsten.
In addition to emergency relief, it seeks to promote sustainable development in cooperation with local communities.
Foruten nødhjelp fokuserer organisasjonen på å bidra til bærekraftig utvikling i samarbeid med lokalsamfunn.
Health, education and children are some of its focus areas.
Helse, utdanning og barn er blant hovedsatsingene.
The organisation has been present in Iraq for more than ten years, and is one of the few organisations that continued its work after the war in 2003.
Organisasjonen har vært tilstede i Irak i over ti år, og er en av få organisasjoner som fortsatte sitt arbeid etter krigen i 2003.
The on-going humanitarian crisis and more than two million internally displaced people has led to huge deficiencies in basic services such as education, water and health.
Den vedvarende humanitære krisen og over to millioner internflyktninger har ført til enorme mangler innen grunnleggende tjenester som utdanning, vann og helsetilbud.
At the same time, the security situation makes it very difficult for aid organisations to gain access to those who need help most.
Samtidig gjør sikkerhetssituasjonen det svært vanskelig for hjelpeorganisasjoner å få tilgang til de som trenger det mest.
Women are severely affected by the crisis in Iraq.
Kvinner er hardt rammet av krisen i Irak.
They are increasingly subjected to violence, and account for a large group among the country’s poorest.
De er i økende grad utsatt for vold og utgjør en stor gruppe blant de aller fattigste.
Norway will support the IRW’s project on prevention of violence against women in Iraq.
Norge støtter IRWs prosjekt rettet mot å forebygge kjønnsbasert vold mot kvinner i Irak.
The project involves cooperation with two Iraqi universities and seeks to help young agents of change to build networks and increase awareness and change attitudes in several local communities.
Gjennom samarbeid med to universiteter i Irak skal unge meningsbærere bygge nettverk og bidra til holdningsendring og bevisstgjøring i flere lokalsamfunn.
Norway also supports the organisation’s schools project in Tarmiya province.
Norge støtter også organisasjonens skoleprosjekt i Tarmiya-provinsen.
The area has received a large number of internally displaced people from Bagdad, and educational services have been severely weakened over several years.
Området har mottatt et høyt antall internflyktninger fra Bagdad, og undervisningstilbudet er sterkt svekket gjennom flere år.
With Norwegian support, the IRW will rehabilitate schools, build new classrooms and improve sanitation facilities.
IRW vil med norsk støtte rehabilitere skoler, bygge nye klasserom og bedre sanitærforholdene.
The project will help to ensure that more children receive schooling.
Prosjektet vil bidra til at flere barn får undervisning.
It will focus in particular on increasing education for girls in the area.
Det legges særlig vekt på å øke jenters utdanning i området.

International relations are based on trust, and the fact that we have a good image helps to make Norwegian companies and organisations attractive partners.
Internasjonalt samkvem er basert på tillit, og et godt omdømme bidrar til å gjøre norske bedrifter og organisasjoner til attraktive samarbeidspartnere.

Det gjør også at vi lyttes til i internasjonale spørsmål, kanskje mer enn vår størrelse skulle tilsi, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
The Anholt-GfK study has measured Norway’s image in the areas of exports, governance, culture, people, tourism and immigration/investment.

According to the study, Norwegians are perceived as hard-working, honest and skilful.
Ifølge rapporten oppfattes nordmenn som hardtarbeidende, ærlige og dyktige.
‘This assessment of Norway’s international image and reputation provides important input to the work being carried out by the Foreign Service to promote Norway and Norwegian interests abroad,’ said Mr Brende.
- Vurderingen av Norges internasjonale omdømme er et viktig innspill til utenrikstjenestens arbeid med å fremme Norge og norske interesser internasjonalt, sier utenriksminister Børge Brende.
