Partners in
the field.

International
best practice.
AMAR has worked with national and international development organisations for over 30 years. Health projects conform to World Health Organization levels of service delivery; education projects adhere to UNESCO values and standards. AMAR is a member of the United Nations Global Compact, and its institutional partners have included WHO, UNESCO, UNFPA, UNHCR, FAO, IOM, UNDP and the World Bank, under memoranda and letters of understanding that are regularly reviewed.
Government of Iraq
AMAR works closely with Iraqi ministries, above all Health and Education, whose staff help deliver and monitor many programmes. AMAR has trained ministry staff continuously, from medical capacity-building for front-line staff to human rights training for directorates of Education, Health, Youth and Sports, and Communications.
DRL
Since 2012 AMAR US has advanced the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor's mission through initiatives on ending gender-based violence: education workshops, legal support structures, and conflict management and peace-building skills that improve family and community relations.
EIDHR
With the European Instrument for Democracy and Human Rights, since 2014, AMAR trains community leaders on human rights, religious tolerance, anti-discrimination and gender empowerment, and trains teachers and professors to carry these subjects to thousands of pupils and students.
Foreign and Commonwealth Office
With the British Embassy in Iraq, AMAR trained teachers and community leaders in 30 schools across six governorates between 2014 and 2015, reaching more than 3,600 pupils and their families with the means to engage in the democratic process.
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Partners of AMAR US since 2012, under a Memorandum of Understanding in place since 2014. Through LDS Charities the Church funds neonatal resuscitation training for Iraqi medical practitioners, still in use today, and provided $250,000 of Rough Rider wheelchairs through Project Mobility HOPE. Church leaders co-founded the Windsor Dialogues in 2016, and volunteers in Utah knit the hats and scarves AMAR delivers to Ukrainian children each winter.
The Secretary's Office of Global Women's Issues

UNFPA
Since 2006 AMAR has trained primary healthcare professionals, health education volunteers and traditional birth attendants to provide antenatal, natal and postnatal support for remote communities in the Iraqi Marshlands.

Programmes built
around the partner.
Each partnership is shaped around the partner's priorities and the communities where it operates, priced as the project's field cost plus a management fee, and reported monthly from the field with photographs and figures. The office is glad to talk through a first idea.
