UNDP celebrates EU Day in Missan.

May 18, 2022

EU Day commemorates the initial step towards the creation of the European Union and is an opportunity to celebrate Peace and Unity.
The European Union is a partner to Iraq and is one the main supporters to UNDP’s projects in it.

The EU UNDP partnership covers many areas of cooperation to support Iraq and Iraqis, including projects that support stability, local development, economic empowerment and more throughout the governorates of Iraq.
We chose Missan to celebrate this day with a Bazaar that supports local businesses, the owners of which were beneficiaries of workshops funded by the EU and implemented by UNDP in partnership with Oxfam as part of the “Supporting Recovery and Stability in Iraq through Local Development” programme.

The invitation was public and free. The event was announced on Social Media platforms, where people learnt about it.

The participants showcased their handmade products and had a chance to promote their businesses to the local community.
