Local Knowledge, Lasting Impact.
Iraq is changing fast. Communities are searching for opportunities, young people are eager to shape their future, and women are stepping forward with new ideas. At the same time, challenges like unemployment, climate risks, and inequality demand bold solutions.
That’s where NABU comes in. Founded and led by Iraqis, we are a social enterprise built on local knowledge, community trust, and an extensive network across the country. Our mission is simple: to turn local voices into lasting solutions. By blending Iraqi expertise with international best practices and innovation, NABU delivers programs that empower people, strengthen economies, and create measurable impact.
Why Local Leadership Matters
Too often, development in Iraq has been shaped from the outside. NABU reverses this. Our extensive local network—grassroots groups, experts, and community leaders—means we design programs that are relevant, trusted, and sustainable. By listening first and co-creating with Iraqis, we ensure that solutions last.
