Policy Brief: Community Security Integration Pilot (CSIP) in Iraq

January 28, 2021

The Community Security Integration Pilot (CSIP) was devel­oped by UNDP's Security Sector Reform/Rule of Law Pro­gramme to address the needs of former volunteer fighters and their home communities following the demobilization of fighting forces in Iraq. 

CSIP aimed to support former combatants to increase their skills and emotional resilience, and thereby economic stabili­ty, through a combination of training, psychosocial support (PSS) and grant support interventions. Following a scoping mission held in August 2019, UNDP decided to focus the pilot in AI-Qurna district in Basra governorate. CSIP part­nered with Qurna Industrial Preparatory School (QIPS) to pro­vide vocational training.
