Green Iraqi Innovation Support | USAID

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID)  launched  the Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge (WE4F) Iraqi Call for Innovations, to foster innovation and enhance food security in Iraq. The $1.5 million program, implemented by the WE4F Middle East and North Africa Regional Innovation Hub (MENA RIH), will support Iraq-based companies working on providing more sustainable water or energy solutions for agriculture. The selected companies will receive customized support in the form of grants, technical assistance, and investment facilitation to grow their businesses, combat resource scarcity, and foster the transition to a green economy.

WE4F is a joint international initiative of the  German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union, the  Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of the Netherlands, Sweden through the  Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), and the  U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
