What we do in Iraq Emergency Response Sustainable Livelihoods Covid-19 Response GOAL is always ready to react Much of GOAL's early work in Iraq was focused around the delivery of crisis response activity. Following years of conflict and large scale displacement, our work is now focused on rebuilding and recovery. As part of this, GOAL is working to address social cohesion - delivering programmes designed to mitigate tensions between displaced populations and host communities. This work is delivered both as a direct service and through selected in-country partners. GOAL maintains the technical capacity and strategic partnerships to respond to emergency situations if they arise.
