From 8–10 September 2025, within the framework of the “Strengthening the Rule of Law in Iraq” project, IOL, Investigator Organization for supporting role of law and Democracy, in partnership with NPA Norwegian People's Aid, organized a three-day Training of Trainers (TOT) for representatives of member organizations of the MAFF Network for Justice and Democratic Development in Erbil.
The primary objective of the training was to strengthen participants’ knowledge and capacities in rule of law monitoring and the preparation of the Annual Rule of Law Monitoring Report in Iraq, through a structured, research-based, and evidence-informed approach.
Over the three-day training, participants received guidance on a range of key topics, including writing techniques, research methodologies, approaches to data collection and analysis, and principles for drafting and preparing monitoring reports. The training aimed to enhance participants’ institutional and technical capacities, enabling them to contribute more effectively to the process of monitoring and documenting the state of the rule of law in Iraq and the Kurdistan Region.
This initiative forms part of the ongoing efforts of Investigator Organization and its partners to strengthen the capacities of civil society organizations, enhance rule of law monitoring, and support processes of justice, transparency, and the consolidation of the rule of law in Iraq.
