NABU for Research and Development is an independent Iraqi social enterprise based in Baghdad, working across Iraq with a strong network across Iraq. We bring together development experts and a network of local NGOs and community partners to deliver research, assessments, programme design, business development, and community outreach — serving donors, NGOs, and private companies seeking credible local engagement.

Local Knowledge, Lasting Impact

​

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 and models that are relevant, trusted, and sustainable. By listening first and co-creating with Iraqis, we ensure that solutions last.
