Restoration of Iraq’s Historic and Cultural Heritage as a Pillar for Economic Recovery

Cultural industries are important in preserving and advancing the cultural heritage of #Iraq and contributing to the development of the post-conflict economy. In partnership with UNESCO, IOM Iraq’s Enterprise Development Fund – Culture (EDF-c) is assisting businesses in creative industries in the historical cities of Mosul and Basra. Ammar is one of the business owners benefitting from an EDF-c grant. He was able to expand his business and hire new workers – check out this video to learn more about this initiative.
