A UN release published on 25 September 2026 describes a steering-committee meeting held in Baghdad two days earlier for the “Advancing Peace and Stability in Sinjar” project. IOM implements the initiative with UNDP and UN Women through UN Peacebuilding Fund support.
The release reports livelihoods assistance for 110 people through vocational training and enterprise activities. Participants also discussed a final external evaluation and sustaining results after the project ends. These are programme-reported activities, not independently measured business outcomes.
Without the evaluation or follow-up evidence, the desk cannot assess sustained income or enterprise performance. The release is not an application or procurement notice.
The programme’s institutional structure also matters: the Peacebuilding Fund supplies support, while IOM works with UNDP and UN Women on implementation. Participation in delivery should not be confused with being the donor. The 110-person livelihoods figure describes reported reach, while the external evaluation is the route to assessing more durable results.
