USIP has maintained an office in Baghdad since early 2004 and works to promote security and stability at community, regional and national levels. The Iraq program provides opportunities for dialogue among groups who might not ordinarily meet; we have trained and continue to develop a network of Iraqi facilitators; we support the growth of independent nongovernmental organizations, and we work with educators and government officials.

Through a focus on regional context and internal dynamics, USIP’s work on Israel seeks to comprehensively address the complexities of its conflict with the Palestinians and the broader Arab world through policy relevant analysis, public outreach and innovative programming with partners in the region, all aimed at building support for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
