Al-Ayen Iraqi University – SDG 1 Progress Report(2023)
1. Introduction and Overview
Al-Ayen Iraqi University, a key educational institution in Iraq, actively supports SDG 1: No Poverty through community initiatives, partnerships, and research aimed at economic and social empowerment. Its impactful programs, like the Ramadan Food Distribution, Eid Clothing Drive, and Household Appliances Distribution, directly support families in need. Collaborative events, such as the ShubadWomen’s Festival with Tima Organization, foster women’s economic independence, while scholarships for low-income, non-Iraqi students enhance educational access. Community support is further reinforced through initiatives like the Orphan Recognition Event, Iftar Banquet, and the Shakir Al-Gharabi School Support Initiative, which eases financial burdens on families by providing resources and facility improvements. Additionally, four publications in 2023 address financial inclusion, sustainable agriculture, and economic growth, providing valuable insights for poverty reduction in Iraq. Al-Ayen’s comprehensive approach demonstrates its strong commitment to SDG 1 and to creating a sustainable, inclusive community.
