In collaboration with UNESCO, IOM supports enterprises that directly contribute to the restoration of culture with the capacity to create or support jobs that are scalable in the long-term. EDF-culture aims to contribute to job creation while at the same time supporting the restoration of traditional and creative industries by supporting both smaller, artisanal projects as well as construction businesses supporting the restoration of built heritage. This approach will not only revitalize local economies and provide employment opportunities, but it will also revive and help preserve the rich heritage and traditions of Iraq.
