Assisting Reconstruction and Improving Living Conditions in Anbar (ARILA)

The ARILA project contains three interlinked components: restoration and rehabilitation of basic services, strengthening of citizen-state relationships and improving livelihood opportunities through vocational education and business support in the non-agricultural field.
ARILA implements its activities back-to-back with the “Restoration of Peace, Livelihoods, and Economic Cycles in Anbar” (RePLECA) project that specifically targets the historically important agricultural sector in Anbar for livelihoods and related basic services, fosters  intercommunity exchange and social cohesion, and aims to improve basic education in the same districts as ARILA
