It was born out of the wide coalition that organized the biggest demonstration in world history, against the war in Iraq, in 2003, and kept on working against foreign occupation of the country, for human rights and social justice in Iraq. ICSSI implements networking and promotes communication among its members since 2009 through yearly conferences and a multi-lingual social networking platform. It now devotes major efforts to support Iraqi civil society campaigns for human rights and public freedoms.

The project will work towards improving civil society capacities in planning and implementing strategic advocacy campaigns; improving coordination among civil society actors in central/southern Iraq, Iraqi Kurdistan (KRI) and international civil society; and improving civil society advocacy initiatives so as to ensure civil society’s effective contribution in preserving environment and civic freedoms in Iraq.
